Terrible Battle between Ihs sIOux
and ChIppevas at st. Joseph.

From the st. Psul MINI } Pioneer. July p
We are indebted to James McFetridge, Esq,
late United States collector at Pembina, for
the particulars OF a bloody fight between the
Sioux and Chippewss, of which he was an
eyewitness, at St. Joseph, on the Pembina
river, on the 10th ult., at which eleven Indians
were killed.
Last summer, while the Hon. Charles Grant
was encamped with a party Of hunters on
Mouse river, twelve horses were stolen from
him by a party Of Yankton Sioux. Nothing
was head Of TIE horses until the 10th of June
last, when a party Of thirty-two Sioux war
riOrs, accompanied by two squaws, arrived at
st. Joseph with the stolen property, for the
purpose of returning it, in pursuance Of a
recent treaty made between the Pembins half
breed hunters and the Yankton Sioux. The
delegation with the stolen bOrses arrived oppO-
site st. Joseph about two O'Clock in the at En-
noon : they Immediately crossed the river and
proceeded to the residence of Governor Wilkie
Ia member Of TIE last territorial legislature.)
Unfortunately a large party Of C~hippewas,
and also parties Of AssinibOines and Creeks
were encamped at st. Joseph and the Chip
pewss fired on the Sioux while they were in
the act Of entering Governor Wilkes house
The Sioux took poss essiOn Of the house,
and removing the climbing" from between
the logs, returned the fire with effect. From
tnlS time until ulluuiEub d GuuoldlL HIlDE NdB
Kept up between the Indians. Six Chippewss z,
three Sioux and two Assiniboines were killed
curing the struggle. Governor Wilkes dsugh-
ter, in passing within range OF the combatants,
WIS severely wounded in the thigh by an ar
row. Mr.. McFetridge describes the scene as
terribly exciting, and relates instances of great
Individual bravery. One Chippewa, a son Of
the chief, Red Bear, was shot three times in an
endeavor to enter the house. At each shot be
fell to the ground, but raised himself, and
pushed forward. His progress was stopped at
the threshold, by one Of the Sioux cIeaving bis
head through to the chin with an ak.
The house occupied by the Sioux is about
two hundred feet from the river. The Chip
pewas surrounded II, and 10 make their escape,
the Sioux were compelled to run that distance,
and wade the river to the south bank, in the
face of a constant fire from their enemies.
This they did, aided by the darkness Of the
night, with but the loss Of one warrior, who
was found dead by the Chippewas in the morn
ing, Oh the south bank Of the stream. The
Sioux left behind them thirty-two horses lin
addition to the twelve stolen ones) and the
dead bodies Of three Of their warriors.
Mr.. McFetridge states that the residence Of
Gov. Wilkie resembled a slaughter house on
the morning after the conflict. Five Chippe-
was and two Sioux were lying dead on the floor,
which was covered with blood. The Sioux
did not scalp the dead ChiPpcwas in the house,
nor mutilate their bodies. The Chippewas
were more brutal; they cut up the bodies Of
their dead foes, and burnt them.

As mentioned in our issue Of yesterday, The
Louisville Courier has reliable information
that a project is On foot to send arms to the
traitorous adherents Of ANDREW JOHNSON in
East Tennessee By way Of Louisville, Lebanon
and Whseler's Gap, in order that The few dis
affected miscresnts il that section, who are
disposed to resist the sovereign edict Of the

mati7a, and would seek to impress its impor-
lance upon the minds Of The official authori-
ties Of Tennessee. ForeWarned as to the

SINGULAR CHANGE IN EUROPEAN
SENTEEg EWT.

The facts disclosed in the following para
graph, which we extract from the Paris cor
respondent Of The New York Herald, indicate
rather a singular change in European sentl-
ment on the slavery question. The paragraph
is significant, and cannot fail to open the eyes
Of the North:
The fact is, France was beginning to feel
less inclined to act hostilely toward the United
States vixen came the news that slaves were
to be considered az contraband Of war. That
this would viTtaallyfre The slaves was at once
understood here, and more so in England, and
The Tartar government has made energetic rep
RESERVATIONS TO the Emperor Napoleon upon
the loss that French and English mmer
would surely suffer in case the cotton crop
fails, which Of course it viii DO the moment
the negroes begin their exodus. Il Is no use
coucealing The fact that The southern commits
si0neTs are now more likely TO prevail, they
having got hold Of an argument that win cause
both this government and that Of England 70
listen to them with more complacency.
Thus it would seem that Gen. Butler and
Secretary CAMERON, in declaring fugitive
slaves contraband of war, are only fighting
Our battles for us By calling down upon their
heads the ire Of England and France. The
fact is, these two nations prefer to see the ne
gro in the cotton fields, where be properly be-
longs. Our northern brethren will, ere long.

How to Choose a Horse.

TO become good judge of horse flesh re-
auires years OF observation and practical ac-
ouaintance with the animal No mere de-
ceptions are sufficient to qualify man to 60
into the market to purchase horse with
safety, for in no other article is there SO
much deception practsed. Tte following
directions from the Ohio Cul,cato- are val,
liable as suggestions indicating the principa
points to be studied:
First, notice the eyes. which should be
we'll examined. Clearness of the eye is a
sure indication of goodness but this is not
all-the eyelds, eyebrows and all other app
pendages must be also considered, for many
horses whose eyes appear clear and brilliant
go blind at an early age therefore be care-
full to observe whether the parts between the
eyelids and eyebrows are swollen, for this
indicates that the eye will not last. When
the eyes are remarkably fat, sunk within
their orbits, it is bad sign. The iris, or
circle that surrounds the sight Of the eye,
should be distinct, and of pale, variegated.
cinnamon color, for this is sure sign of
good eye. The eyes Ct horse are never too
large.
- The head should be of good size, broad
between the eyes, large nostIils, red within,
for large nostrils betoken good wind.
The ieet and legs should be regarded,
for a horse with bad feet is like house with
weak clndation, and will do Iittle service.
The feet should be of middle size and
smooth the heels should be firm, and not
spongy and rotten.
The limbs should be free from blemishes
of all kinds the knees strait, the back sinews
strong and we'll brsced; the pastern joinr-
should be clean and clear of swellings Of all
kinds, and come near the ground. for such
never have the ring>bone. Fleshy legged
horses are generally subject to the I" grease"
and other inirmities of that kind, and there-
fore should not be chosen.
rhe body should be of good size. the
back strait, or nearly so, and have only a
small sinking below the withers; the barrel
rourd, and the ribs come close to the hip
joints. Shoulders should run back, but not
TOO heavy, for horse with heavy shoul iers
seldom moves well chest and arms large.
A Eorse weighing from | 800 to 1,400
is heavy enough for cart horse; from 100
to 200 is large enough for farmers horse;
from 1000, to l,l00 is heavy enough for
carriage horse"

tories of modern times, achieved by the sa-
gacity and indomitabe perseverance of the
North. The latter brings to its aid resour-
ces of art, intelligence, and persistence the
former an animal courage that every reverse
will, anu common malsvolense that defeat
will change into feud and insu bordination.
Upon one side are engaged good instincts
perverted, power without order, and prin-
ciple in itself subversive and ruinous on the
other, elements of discipline, endurance, and
integrity, that, having for their motive the
welfare of the nation, and the common good
of man, will neither be intimated by losses
or unduly flushed by success. Going stead
lily forward, with good COINCIDENCE and reso-
hearts, civilization will go with them, and
the heresy and incidence that slavery has be-
gotten will resign beautiful and fertile sec
tion to free industry, free Gospel, and free
thought.
The crusade we wage has nothing of fa-
naticism about it. And while the results
that we predict were not the objects for
which the war was begun, greater hand
than ours, that is guiding the elements for
the welfare of mankind, will make them. if
not intended, not less inevitable.
Our motives have ctenged since the com-
mencement of the war. We are almost pre-
pared to accept aby instrumentalitS or advo-
cate any reform. Constitutional obligations
have restrained us. but the most prudent be-
gin to assume that those who break all laws
deserves little protection. Each event will
radicalize this contest, and enlist new mo.
tives, so that, to the philosophical eye, these
"Spirits
OF great events stride on before the events
And in to, day already walks to morrow"
