attacks. Horses, mules, and wagons, are cap

sIons, or furloughs TO hunt" was foun q on:
the person of Lieutenant, from Hickory
county. The document was signed by
Dew 1T c. Hunter, Colonel. A man named
Smith. lately moved In from Kansas was
known TO have captured twenty horses and
marched with them TO his home In Jasper
county for his private use. The community

SarcoXie has made a successful " hunt" hav-

horses ForaoIng parties levy their depreda-
tions on friend and toG alike. Frequent rob-
berries of stores have been committed. Large
quantities of grain nave been taken, and all
the Touring mills have been pressed TO per-
form a share in the grinding exactions. This
system of plunder Is bu a small part of the
a@gravations which afflict the inhabitants OF
the regions indicated. Their fears are much
excited by rowing bands Of Indians, who, IL
IS confidently believed, accompany the rebel
horde The Indians belong to the Cherokee
and Greek tribes, and are mostly half breeds,
with faces Of hideous aspect. 1t is averred,

cause exceeds IN a degree the mere merceuary

We have some details of this election.
Breckinridge and portion Of the Douglas
Democrats nominated JOIN NuaEsr on the
night preceding the election, over WELLER
and DENvER. After the nomination, Mr..
NuaRNr was called upon and made an indis.
Greet speech on the secession question, which
caused some Douglas men in the caucus to
refuse to abide by the nomination. The
Republican members Of the Legislature who
had previously declined to support any
Douglas Democrat now resolved to vote for
any Union man to defeat NUaENr. On the
first ballot the vote stood-NUaENT Is,
McDouaAL 80, and the Republican candi-
date FL. On the third ballot, the Presi-
dent declared McDoUaAL elected, he having
received 56 out of Ill votes. 1t was sub.
sequently ascertained that 1l3 votes were
cast, two scattering votes not having been
counted. A Joint Committee of the L.
gislature, appointed to investigate the SUBJ
ject, have reported that no election has
taken place. Mr.. McDouaAL is reported
as willing to abide the result of another

sue. The resolution was adopted. ~. ~
On Tuesday, GOV. WISE offered q resolu-

the independence OF the seeded States, and
demanding that measures be taken, for q

The dispatches from Washington show
that the Administration is in possession Of
information that leads them to apprehepd
an attack on the National Capital. The
regular troops with the, exception Of two
Or three companies, we believe have been
withdrawn, which leaves the Government
dependent, in case of q sudden attack, on
the rather questionable loyalty Of the Dis
trict militia, some of whom have already
refused to take the required oath to support
the Government, while others have done SO
and been mustered into service We have
always regarded the National Capital as
peculiarly exposed to danger from q sudden
onslaught Of desperate men from contiguous
cities, but can hardly believe that the Con-

Minnesota Wheat Crop Of 1850.


The Commissioner Of Statistics has als
lowed us to CLEAN from the mass ofmaterial
10 his Office some interesting information
relative to the maximum and average yield
of wheat for the year 1860, from every
locality in the State. These statistics come
from sources perfectly reliable, and in most
instances from those who thresbed out the
crop, between whom no collision for the
purpose of exaggeration could possibly have
taken place. 4 ~
II is proper to state also that the maxi.
mum yields set down are not often from a
single acre, but run from five to sixty acres,
and are made up from actual measurement
and weight.
From ell the means of Information in the
Statistical Bureau, the Commissioner esti.
mates the average crop Of wheat for the
whole State, at TwENTY.THREE BUSHELS PER
ACRE, for the year 1860, an amount far
exceeding that Of any other State in the
Union. The crop OF 1859, as will be seen
by the following table, showed the decided
superiority Of Minnesota as wheat pro-
ducing State over the best wheat States:

The Southern Army.

President DAVIS has called upon each of
the Confederate States, except Florida, for
$500 troops, and from Florida, he asks
$500. This will create an army of 22,500
men-a much larger force than President
LINCOLN has at his command. The Presi-
dent cannot increase the army, until author
lied to do so by Congress. If coercion
has been determined upon, we cannot see
how an extra session can be avoided. q
