Slave Case,

Much excitement has existed 10 st. Paul
during the past few weeks in consequence of
the disappearance of slave belonging to
Mrs. Prince of Mississippi.
We don't believe in Slavery, and rejoice
that Minnesota is free State, but when
people come up here from the South, and,
relying upon the honor and good faith of
our people, bring along with them their
servants, we don't think it looks we'll, nor
do we believe it right, for US to interfere
and coax off these servants, and then raise
the "hue and cry" of Slavery in Minnesota
Our southern friends come here to spend
few weeks in the summer, to enjoy our
climate and admire our scenery, and spend
their money. They have been assured over
and over again by the press and by letters,
that they could bring with them their SER
wants, and that so far as our people were
concerned, they would not tamper or meddle
with them. They have believed these
representations, and relying on their truth,
have come here with their servants. They
know as we'll as we do, that under our law
no man can be slave here. They came
with the certain knowledge, that their slaves
are free on our soil, it they choose to avail
themselves of it.
But they are willing to run that risk, and
we never can join the cry Of Slavery in
Minnesota" on this account. On the con.
trary we think it looks too much like trying
to make political capital' out of small
thlngs.-New Era, august l6.

A PRECIOUS SET OF RAscALs.-Deputy
United States Marshal A. B. Bracket, and
a Commissioner of the United States, have
just been up to the Winnebago country and
have succeeded in arresting a large number
of those frontier pests and desperadoes who
get their living by selling liquor to the In
dians and melting them on to depredations
on the white settlers. He arrived in town
Monday night with six of them, in irons,
two of whom were Indians, and a set of
more villainous looking rascals, we have
seldom seen. Their names were Geo. Dre-
mer, Jack Telden, Isaac Tyrrill, Pat Cahill,
Mahlon Petsky, and one unknown. They
go to the County Jail for want of $1,000
bail to appear at the next term of the Uni
ted States District Court.

Wheat and Corn Crops.-.The South
Importing Food from the North.

We present the following from the Nash.
vile Banner of Saturday, as an indication
Of the prevailing excitement at the South
regarding the supply Of food:
1t is a settled fact, the corn and wheat
crops of the South are failures, and that the
cotton States will have to be purchasers of
corn from the more fortunate Northern and
Western divisions of the Union. Our peo>
pie are interested on this subject as one of
much greater importance than the political
divisions of the North and South and as
if to rebuke the minds and restrict the spir-
its which have dared to whisper secession
from the North" an Almighty Power has
made the Southern division of the country
as dependent on the North for food as the
North has been on the South for cotton.
Two such failures as the South experiences
this year, in succession, would ruin her.
Happily for the South, the cotton never en-
tirely fails, and in an augmented crop of it
lit is estimated) 4,5O0,000 bales, she will
find the means to purchase her food.
For once " King Cotton" must abdicate
his commercial throne, content to make one
of triumvirate that henceforth rules the
world. That which would have been deemed
impossible few years since has now actu-
ally occurred, and Georgia, Mississippi and
other States are importing their food from
Illinois and Indiana. During the last sea-
son Missouri supplied this demand, but she
will be unable this year, for her crops have
in great measure failed, while the demand,
then light, is now almost incalculable The
completeness of the failure in the South it
is hard to contemplate. The tone of every
exchange is desponding and almost despair
ing. The Montgomery (Ala.) Mail of late
date says:
"We are satisfied from reliable sources
that the crops of Eastern Alabama and
Western Georgia will fall far short of the
needs of home consumers, and if there should
not be heavy crop in South Alabama,
backed by low prices in the West, there can
not but be immense suffering for the " "staff
of life" And this demand from the South
is made simultaneously with similar call
from Europe"
AS il, providentialy, superabundant
harvest has blessed the North and West,
and supplies from those quarters are not
likely to be scanty or dear, and there is no
need of those fearful and rather ridiculous
forebodings of famine we see promulgated
in some papers. But no doubt spectators
will handle the articles extensively this sea-
son, and perhaps to the advancement of pri-
ces enormously. With the small stock of
wheat and corn on hand here, we imagine
Nashville men will find money in these ar
tces.

The Remains of American and Brit
ish Soldiers.

The telegraph informs US of the discov.
cry of the remains of British and American
soldiers, near the Old Fort, at Toronto.
The Daily Globe, of that city, of the 18th,
has the following:
On the afternoon of Friday, while the
workmen employed at the excavation for
the bridge, at the Old Fort, were digging
near the surface, opposite DillOn's tavern,
they brought to light the remains of several
human beings. 1t was at once suspected
that the bodies were those of the British
and Americans who fell in the conflict which
took place in front of the Fort, in the year
1913. A considerable crowd soon collected,
and Sergeant Major Barlow, of the One
Hundredth, Mr.. Dillon and others, went to
work along with the laborers, and in short
space of time they succeeded in exhuming
fifteen bodies. From the position in which
they were found, it appeared evident that
they had been buried in a trench near the
place where they fell. Several buttons,
bayonet, pieces of officers epauletts, and
portions of clothing were found in the
trench. One of the buttons appears to have
belonged to one of the men of the gallant
Eighth British Grenadiers." Another has
the letters "P. R." engraved on it, and
shows that it was one time attached to the
coat Of one of the Pennsylvania Rangers.
A third has simply the letters I" U. S." en-
graved on it. A couple of copper cents
and Mexican coin were found near the
bodies.
The discovery of these remains will bring
to the remembrance of those who fought
and bled in the War of 1912, 1913, and in
1914 the struggle which took place in front
of the Old Fort, in the Summer of 1913,
and which was brought to speedy termi-
nation by the explosion of the magazine.
At the time referred to, Gen. Shrafe was
in command of the Fort his forces only
amounting to about seven hundred British
soldiers and Canadian militia, with one hum
dred Indians. Early one morning, the
Americans succeeded, after sharp conflict,
in landing force of seventeen hundred men,
from fourteen armed ships, in the woods,
near where the new Garrison now stands.
A detachment of the Eighth Regiment were
sent out to prevent the landing, if possible,
and in the fierce struggle which issued in the
woods and thickets, they lost more than half
their number of men. One account states
that when they left the Fort they were one
hundred and twenty strong, but on the fol.
lowing morning only twenty-five answered
to their names. Gen. Shrafe, at the head
of his small force made stout resistance,
but finding the enemy were two to one, he
was at length, after gallant struggle, com.
PEELED to retreat. The assailants advanced
upon them, but when opposite the Fort the
powder magazine exploded, and two hum
dred Americans with their Commander,
Gen. Pike, were killed on the spot, and also
number of British soldiers. It is stated
that large numbers of the slain were buried
near the spot where the bodies were found
on Friday. The remains were carefully
collected, placed 10 a box, and buried by
fatigue party belonging to the Royal Cana
dian Rifles.

ing himself j. F. Thompson, has been
swindling number of gentlemen from the
South, now residing in this vicinity, as well
as hotel keepers, washer women, &C., and
for the public good, we give description
of his person and pretentions. He is a thick
set man, with black hair and eyes, dresses
we'll, complains of an ailment in his foot or
leg, and withal is something of a ladies'
man. He sometimes claims to be street
broker in New Orleans, but says he resides
at Kenner; about twenty miles above, to
avoid the onerous taxes of the city. He
also says that he owns property in Des-
moines Valley, Iowa. 1t has been ascer-
tanned that he was formerly a school teach
er at Canton and Jackson, Mississippi, but
is native of Pennsylvania. The editors at
the South will confer favor by publishing
the name of this "Jeremy Diddler."

The SPURIOUS DRAFTs-We published
in Sundays paper brief account of the
negotiation of some drafts, by citizen of
St. Anthony, in this city, which were as
certained to be spurious. The gentleman
who negotiated these drafts, was Mr..
Thomas Moulton of St. Anthony, and an
investigation by those most interested, tends
to show that he was not guilty of criminal
intent, but was the victim of sharpers in
taking them in the first instance, and nego.
tiated them under the belief that they were
genuine, and possessed the value named on
their face. He said that be sold the steamer
Enterprise to man named Crooker in St.
Louis, who represented to him that he was
acting for the parties the drafts purported
to be drawn in favor of, and that he took
these drafts in payment. He has satisfied
some of the holders of these drafts of his
innocence in the matter, and is making ar
rangements to take them up at the earliest
moment. We make this statement, partly
from Mr.. Moulton, and partly from infor-
ma ton given by legal adviser of one of
the holders of the drafts.

WEATHER prognosticators are indulging
in gloomy anticipations. They say we are
going to have dry spell of weather, in con.
sequence of which any hopes of good stage
of water in the river this fall will be for
naught. Although the river is unusually
low, the larger class of boats still continue
to arrive at this port with commendable
promptness. The depth of water will un.
doubtedly regulate the tariff of freights, and
if the latter should be high it will delay the
shipment of thousands of bushels of grain
until next spring. We are quite willing
to trust to Providence ; if we deserve more
rain we shall probably get it.

The "L1TTLE GIANTS" came out in large
numbers Monday night. The Third and
Fourth Wards met at Mozart Hall, under
Capt. Wilkin. The First and Second
Wards drilled at Castner's Hall, under the
command of Lieut.. Coates. The detach.
ments then marched to the Capitol Grounds,
and continued drilling until late hour
Much proficiency was made, and If the spirit
is kept up during the campaign, they will
have acquired a knowledge OF military
movements, and taste for the service, that
could have been diffused so we'll in no other
way, in the community at large. Our
"Wide Awake" friends were out on Wa
bashaw street when the Giants came
along, ard the respective bodies passed
each other in the courteous style which we
hope will be continued throughout the cam
paign. "Giants" are proverbially good
natured, and our weaker friends, in mum bers,
will have no cause for complaint, in this re.
spect, although they are bound to he " laid
out cold " by paper pellets on the 9Th of
next November.

ing with the Christians of Syria in their
present deplorable condition, and of devils
ing the best means for their relief, was held
at New York on the 18th inst, at the
rooms of the Tract Society. A committee
was appointed to consider the subject, who
will report next week.
