New ORLEANS, Oct. 10.

New ORLEANS, Oct 10.
The town of Brownsville, Texas, has been
attacked by % guerillas, and of the citizens
were killed The jail was broken open and
all the prisoners set at liberty. The excite
mcnt was intense. The Mexicans had sent
aid from Matamoras. The guerilas were
headed by Cartenas, who shot the sheriff of
Brownsville last July, in attempting to arrest
him. A party of horsemen 100 strong rode
into the city and posted sentinels.
Capt Carvajal and others arrived from Mat
amoras, and persuaded the outlaws to leave.
Fort Brown has been garrisoned by Mexl-
can troops from Matamoras, and the citizens
have formed a patrol.
The outlaws were encamped near the CITY,
800 strong. The Mexican Guard had visited
the camp and obtained promise from them
not to modest the town again. The citizens
still expect an attack, as the outlaws boosted
that there was more on the list to be killed.
An express has been sent to San Antonio
for troops.
The Brownville Flag thanks the military
and civil authorities of Matamoras, and blames
the government for leaving them defenceIess.
The sheriff and posse came down to Point
Isabel with the steamer Arizona's mail
The cause of the difficulty was revenge
sought by Cartinas for alledged injuries.
The citizens mostly fed to Matalnoras.
Additional news from Mexico states that
the Church party threaten the city of Alvara-
DO and consequently endanger Vera Cruz.

The above named persons were all regular
Democratic nominees.
Mr.. Donnelly is the only man, on the Re-
publican State ticket, struck off by the Huff
gang, for what manly or just reason, we i'm
agine they would find it difficult to explain
They are certainly set of dirty dogs, without
spark of principle to animate them. Their
number, it seem, by comparing the vote, is
just IT'S. The "Minnesotian" sends greeting to
the Transit Railroad Thieves and as they
have tried to strike us through our friend, we
hope to be able te attend to their case in due
season-seeing that there is an overwhelm-
ing Anti Tax and Anti Railroad thieving ma
jority elected to the State Legislature! The
Winona Transit Thieves will, no doubt, have
good time before that body.
From the country districts of Winona
county, we hear that Beaver is AZ Republi-
can and Z DEM; Mt. Vernon, on the river,
l Republican and 25 Dem. Our impression
is, that Ramsey will not have less than his
old majority in Winona county, 242.

We are happy to inform our friends, that
the returns as they come in keep Hooking
well for the success of the whole Republican
State Ticket.
Fourteen counties only are fully heard from
but in these Ramsey gains SIT on the vote
of 1857! His present majority is 242o J!
There are about fifty counties in the State.
Consequently there are about 30 counties yet
to come in. These counties, in 1857, cast
1900 votes, and gave Ramsey 72O major
ity.
If, therefore, the rest of the State yet to
come in, does for Ramsey only as well as be-
fore, his majority will be $3.50! But, if the
vote increases in his favor in the same ratio
as in the portions of the State already heard
from, his majority will be over 4,000!.!
We again assure our friends, that it real
" '.looks" as if we had carried the State, for
the whole ticket and that we have both
branches of the Legislature by a sweeping
majority.
Mr.. Becker however, we hear, counts great
ly on the Indian vote to still bring him out
successful; that in the back counties, also,
where he spoke and labored, that he will gam
and not Ramsey.
So friends let us keep cool until tomorrow.

The Coming Prize Fight.

The noted pugilists, Australian" Kelly
and Ed. Price, are training actively for their
approaching fight The event is to take place
in Canada, early in October. Both the COM
batantS are powerful men, and are said to be
in excellent condition. Kelly is well known
in New York, but Price is Boston man and
is in training at Spy Pond, near that CITY,
The hardened" state of this individuals
muscles is dwelt upon in an ecstatc strain in
Porter's Spirit, of last week. The following
are among the interesting particulars given:
His flesh is as hard as iron his mucles are
steel. his skin firm, rosy, light, yet soft as a

at all, one may say, his only dose being one
enetic, a. a SOFT Of preliminary to the com
mencement of actual work. His weight
when he began was 100 pounds. He has re-
duced that to less than 100. His fighting
weight will be about l55. Price will leave
for Buffalo. in day or two where he will rest,
on his road to Canada, for about fortnight.
1t has been arranged to select referee at
Buffalo ten days before the battle, so as to
avoid difficulty in the ring"

Fortunate Gold Digging,

a fortunate Australian gold seeker writes
home TO his friends an account of huge mug.
get which he, with his companions, recently
found:
1t is the largest cake of amalgamated
gold that has ever been produced in the world
it was the result of eighty tons of quartz, ex
actly four days work, but it took ten men three
weeks to get it. When the monster was
taken into Sandhurst it was too heavy to car
nv, so we placed it into one of the carts, and
brother Will, Mr.. Sibley, and myself took
charge of it. We proceeded to Sandhurst
without exciting much interest, but on our
arrival at the bank it began to be known that
there was q monster cake of gold to be seen,
and before We could carry it into the bank it
WAS crowded to excess, and hundreds were
collected round, which entirely put stop to
business, so the manager thought it would
be advisable to place it in some window, so
that the people could feast their eyes upon it
without putting stop to their business; SO it
was transferred to Mr. Jackson's store, and
exhibited for two days; thousands came to
see it. The police were called in to keep the
footpath clear, bill all to no purpose, | am
sure it would have done your eyes good to see
1t. toy i was glorious night"

jority is l0!! Sibley had 3s3 before Well
done Dakota All the Republican county
ticket is elected, except, perhaps, the Coron-
er; and two nominees for the Legislature,
Copper and Caskey. The Republicans chos-
en-, are A. NJ. Hayes, H. G. o. Morrison, and
Moses Bixler. The Democrats are Newell
and Shceffer, proba ly. This makes Re-
publican gain of three members OF the House.
If any county has done we'll for us, in pro-
portion to;the vote polled, than has Donnelly's

cumstances, we should like to see it trotted
out.
GooDHUE.-The ..old banner county has
again done CALAMITY. The Norwegian and
Swede emigration from this county to the Kan
diyohi region, has somewhat reduced the az
gregate vote, but our advices from Red
Wing assure us, that the county has gone
for Ramsey by $40 majority And that the
one Senator, and four Representatives, and
the entire county ticket, are also Republican
Glorious Goodhue Girls Graham polled just

From Warrington.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8,

"hSniNuiON, OCt. Q.
Information has been received here that as
soon as Col. Sumner heard of the attack on
the Santa Fe mall with its fatal results, he
despatched a company of dragons to the
Pawnee Fork to punish the offending Indi-
ans. Hopes are entertained that this prompt
action on the part of Col. Sumner will result
in the capture Of the murderers, and the res:
cue of the passengers by the overland mail.
1t will probably be found necessary to
station men at the Pawnee Forks to escort
the mail thence to Cold Spring, and thus OBJ
viate the recurrence of such outrages.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.
A private letter from London says that our
Minister, Mr.. Dallas, is exerting himself to
procure recognition of the Mexican Liberal
government by England, while other promi-
nent gentlemen are similarly engaged.
Reliable accounts received here from Mon
terev, show that Vidauri has not deserted to
the Church party as reported. An unpleas-
ant difference Of opinion, however, existed be-
tween him and General De Gollado, regard
ing the administration of his jurisdiction. So
far as it is known, Gen. Wheat is the only
citizen of the United States, that has gone to
fight the battles of the Liberals. The invita-.
ton was extended to him by Gen. Alvarez
several months ago.
Until the publication of Judge Blacks Sec
ond reply to Judge Douglas, it was under
stood that the latter would leave the public
to Judge betw cen their two publications, with
out any rejoind,r from him, but since Judge
Blacks second reply, Judge Douglas has COM
menced rejoinder over his own signature, to
appear in few days; in the meantime vol
unteer reply to Judge Black, from one Of
Judge Douglas friends will be issued.

The PIONEER GUARDS TARGET MACH
An item designed for Saturdays paper in re-
lation to this, was unavoidably crowded out.
The Guards met at their armory in the morn
ing, and about nine o'clock, preceded by their
fine band, marched through some of the prin-
cipal streets, to the pic mic grounds, near the
residence of w. R. Marshall, Esq, on the St.
Anthony Road. The Guard looked we'll, and
marched in admirable order. They were &C
cOmpanied by their wives and families to the
ground, and an ample supply of provisions
were sent out. We were unable to be on the
ground, but learn from the participants that
the occasion was most pleasant one.
An arriving at the ground the target was
set up at distance of one hundred yards
from the stand, and the Guards cracked
away.
The following is the list of the winners, and
the measurements of their shots:
The first prize, handsome Silver Castor,
was won by Sergeant L. B. Martin-21 lie
inches string measure.
The second prize, fine Fruit Basket, was
won by corporal L. G. Dunn-221 inches
string measure.
The third prize, silver cup, was won by
private VIM. Golcher-25 1915 inches string
measure.
The foorth prize, also silver cup, was won
by private James j. Hill-34A inches, string
measure.
The fifth prize, silver card basket, was
won by private G. G. Lund- 344 inches string
measure.
The prizes having been purchased by the
officers of the company, they did not compete
for them-but had trial among themselves
afterwards, Capt. Western showed himself
the best marksman in the company, his shot
being only 20 SO from the centre.
The Guards returned at o'clock, bearing
their riddled target. We acknowledge the
handsome compliment from them of three
cheers for the MINNEsoTIAN. May they all
live thousand years.

The Zurich Treaty.

The amended Zurich programme is stated
as follows
"A dsinitive treaty of peace will be signed
by the three powers. A treaty will be drawn
by which Austria cedes Lombardy to France
who will transfer it to Sardinia Other doc
uments respecting the Italian Confederation,
Duchies &C., will be signed by the Austrian
and French plenipotentiaries only, as Sardinia
utterly rejects the restoration, and will not
under present circumstances agree to the con-
federation.

Hawkins, Commissioner for the Oregon boun-
dairy arrived yesterday, and had an interview

CHINA.-Mail with dates from Hong Kong
to August 10th had reached London. Moth
ng of any moment had occurred since the af-
fair of Peiho. The gun boats and steamer
remains in the Gulf of Pecheli, the rest of the
squadron being principally off the entrance of
the Kingpore river.
One Of the Hong Kong newspapers states
that Mr.. Ward, the American Plenipotentia-
ry, was still aboard his ship and as little like.
ly to obtain the ratification of his treaty as
the English Minister.
A Russian authority estimates the loss Of
the Chinese at the Peiho forts at about 900
killed. The number of the wounded is not
stated
The state of Admiral Hopes health contin-
ues serious.
An emeute occurred at Shanghai during
which several foreigners were killed, and 9TH
ers wounded, among the latter was interpre-
ter Fay, who was in precarious condition.
INDIA.-The Calcutta mail of August 23d
had reached England. The news was gener.
ally anticipated by telegraph.
The disarming of Dude had been compile

AUsTRAILA.-The Melbourne mail of Au-
gust 10Th reached Alden, Sep. 10Th. Bust
ness during the month had been very quiet,
but the arrival of the English mail created
both commercial and monetary improve
ment
JAPAN.-In Japan affairs had assumed a
very unsatisfactory position. On the 10th OF
July the British treaty was duly ratified.
Since then the Japanese government had at
tempted to evade it by seeking to confne the
foreigners to a small island about ten miles
from Yeddo. They farther sought to estab.
ltsh new coin as the only one to be used in
commercial dealings with foreigners although
according to the treaty, foreign coin were to
be received at their intrinsic value. The
present arrangement of the Japanese produced
u depression of 66 per cent.

Proposed Canadian Visit of the Prince
of Wales.

That the Prince of Wales will pay the
Canadians visit, this year or next, appears
to be no longer a matter of doubt, as the full
lest assurance has been given by the Duke OF
New Castle. Liverpool journal, of recent
date, says
If the Canadians cannot secure the pres.
ence of the Queen at The opening of the great
Victoria Bridge, they are likely, it appears, to
bc honored with the Prince of Wales, accom-
panied, in all likelihood, by the Colonial Sec
retarv, in the course of the ensuing year.
This will be something and the young Prince
and the Minister may rely upon a warm and
generous reception. We wish, for the sake
Of the Canada rs, that her Majesty would I'M
dertake the journey. She seems to be good
sailor, from the frequency of her journeys in
the royal yacht, and a voyage across the At
lantic would be nothing to one accustomed to
the cross currents of the Channel. Being on
the American Continent, she could hardly es-
cape visit to New York, perhaps to Wash
ington,-and the result would be in every
way gratifying to all concerned"

SWEDISH IMMIGRANTs FOR MINNEsorA.-A
company of thirty-two Swedes, says the
Chicago Journal Of Friday evening, arrived at
the Galena Depot yesterday en- route for St.
Paul. They left Guttenbergh, Sweden, on
the 18th of July, on board the American ship
Robert N. Sloman On the Oath they
struck sand bar off the coast of Denmark,
and were totally wrecked. After beng ex-
posed to the storm for thirty-six hours, they
were taken off by Norwegian ship and
landed upon the Danish coast After vainly
waiting there fourteen days, in expectation of
being able to reembark, they were obliged to
60 to Hamburg, where they took a passage in
one of the vessels of the New York and
Hamburg line. Six weeks more were con-
sumcd from Hamburg to New York, during
which the cholera took Oft four of their num-
Der. The entire journey from Gutenberg to
St. Paul will fall very little short of three
msnths.
The whole party, in spite of their hardships,
were as jolly as crickets over their safe arri-
val in the new world"

majority Of 124 for Ramsey. The Democrat
ic majority in the intensely Irish precinct of
Shildsville was 151-a majority due, says our
correspondent, to barrels of whiskey sent up
there by the Democratic candidates. The Re-
publicans sent up man to this precinct to
watch operations. The Irish, under the in
Auence Of liquor, set upon him and so severely
beat him, that his life is despaired Of The
following letter was received last night from
Faribault. 1t has the ring of victory in it:
FARIBAULT, Oct. 18th, o'clock, A. M.
Foster Dc Moore, Gents Il send you re-
turns as far as heard from. All but one town
is correct. Wheatland is probably 10 or l5
too much, but l wanted to make it large
enough. Just give God glory. We have car
ried the county in spite Of the allied forces of
Shields, Railroads and whiskey! We have
one man badly hurt, but we think our victory
not dearly purchased. The Dem. candidates
have covered themselves all over with any,
thing but glory. They resorted to every mean,
dirty trick that moccasin Democracy is capa-
BILE OF, and where Democratic capacity for
meanness fails, ,od only knows what could
excel!
But eve have met the enemy and they are
ours" and while Cavanaugh is thanking God
that there is no Democracy in New England,
we are all ready to unite in thanks to the
same All-wise Dispenser of human events,
that Rice county is almost as free from the
pestilential scourge as is New England!
Give us credit for just what we deserve and
believe me, gents,
Respectfully and truly,
Yours in everything but R. r. Bonds. O.
Thirteen precincts in this
county give Ramsey 697, to Becker 424. There
are II districts in this county, and the back
rural districts, are all to be heard from. They
will come in heavily Republican. We have car
ried j. P. Averill for the State Senate; and
J. w. Burnham, w. j. Arnold and T. NJ
Skillman, for the House. In Minnesota, the
h.me of Dr. left, the vote is 46 Republican
to Democrat.
WINoNA.-The city, and one or two pre-
cincts on the river, only are heard from. The
city of Winona is a Democratic place, where
Jones, DEM, was elected Mayor by 80 ma
jority, year ago. 1t is the head quarters of
the Transit Railroad and its bond holders.

From this we judge that Becker's majority
in Scott is about 800, or Republican gain of
4S since ~.
CARvEE.-This county has done much bet
ter than at first reported. Bccker's majority
is only 7O-all the districts in. Sibley two
years since had $50! Well done for Carver.
In the Representative district of Carver and
Wright, three Republicans are undoubtedly
elected-which is a gain. They are S.
Letford, F. A. REM and Jackson Taylor.
Vanderburg, Rep:) for District Judge has 20
majority. All honor to the Carver county
Republicans. They have done WELL
WRIGHT-Our news from the Estate of In
surrection" is, that the Republic an majority is
$50, and still going up! Wright sends her
compliments to Mr. Slbley, and trusts he likes
the result!
BLUE EARTH.-In this, the home of the red
Winnebago Democracy, the Republicans have
whipped the Breech-clouts handsomely. A
letter dated at Mankato, Tuesday night, gives
the vote in seven districts, showing Republi-
can gains-five districts to hear from. The
writer says: "The vote will range from Is
to 200 Republican majority. We elect the
whole of our county ticket. We beg to SUBJ
NIT thisa the 300 Democratic minority which
our jim prophesied for Blue Earth county,"
Mankato gave 1913 for Ramsey and 276 for
Becker. Our candidate for State Senator,
ID. e. Evans, runs ahead of his ticket No
doubt we have carried the Senator and three
Representatives in the Blue Earth and LIE
Sueur district.
.HENSEPrN.-The correct majority for RAM
sey is 955; for Aldrich, near 1900; for Van
derburg, for Judge, about 400! "Nuf ced."
SIBLEY.A-We have rumor that Hender-
son has given but 40 Demo ratio majority.
If true, it is a Republican gain in this one
town of $50 since 1857!
ANoKA.-We have all but St. Francis pre-
cinct. Anoka gives Ramsey 343 to 157 for
Becker. The lacking precinct will increase
the majority to 200.
BENToN.-Sauk Rapids, 80 for Ramsey and
26 for Becker; Watab, for Ramsey and 20
for Becker. Lowrey runs behind his ticket.
SHERBURNE.-Orono, about so Republican
majority-a gain.
STEARNs.-St. Cloud gives Becker $50,
Ramsey 1OS-a Democratic loss of go.

county show large Republican gains. Major

We have carried our whole legislative and
