mild and pleasant. Having given our
opinion, We were informed that it was made
Of peas mot grain Of coffee in it; just
dried eas Drowned and ground, and made
in all respects like coffee. At the present
price of coffee, the pea would be decided
saving in May family. The ground
conee sold in papers is from three fourths
to nine-tenths peas, as we have examined
the grounds to test the statement of a

formed US that they had then taken down
80, 900 bushels Of wheat from St. Cloud.
As they have been making tri-weekly trips
since, taking full loads, the amount must
be near 10000 by this time. Fifty tons
Of Hudson's Bay goods had then been

those already passed through were bullets.
These are all bonded goods and pass
through the United States, from England,
to British America, without being opened
at the Custom Houses. The merchants
Of St. Cloud and other up river towns
have received an unusual amount Of goods
by boat, and every trip brings more Or less

ED1roR DHNocRAr:-I suppose you have
heard ere this, Of the sudden disappearance
of Edwin Roache, who lived four miles below
this point. He was last seen on the morning
of the 9th. On the same day about O'Clock,
four Indians (Sioux) came here with three
Buffalo robes and 10 Mink skins, which they
laid down on the floor and: told me to give
them whiskey. which would not do. They
then started for Reaches place. They had
left their two horses on the west side of the
river, and did not return on this side, as our
canoe was on this side Of the river; but they
had left with their horses very early the next
morning. This day (l0,h) Goodspeed and
Mayhem went down to do some blowing for
Ned which they had agreed to do for him.
The boys say Ned was not there but supposed
he had gone to the Fort or some where else.
MIR. John Whitford and Mr.. Anderson came
up, but Roache had not returned He went
into the house and saw the Buffalo robes and
Mink skins lying on the floor; he did not stay
long but started for this place. Mr.. Whitford
stated his fears to me-. So, after supper, We
talked the matter over. Mr.. Banghman took
Whitford, Stone and another gentleman down
to Ned's with his team, but could find no trace
Of Roache. The boat was gone (which was
afterwards found by Mr.. Stone, with keg Of
whiskey on an island about miles below
Reaches place. 1t was upside down and the
key was under the boat, and the paddle vas
alongside ofit.) They brought the three Buff
falo robes and the Mink skins back with them
The robes and skins recognized as the same
which had been offered to me by the Indians
The boys wanted me to 60 down and get tn,
remainder of Roaches things, which did OF
the 18th While there Mr.. Stone and Mr.. Creis
came up. Mr.. Creig and another gentleman
had come up from the Point (Graham's Point
that morning, and had met Mr.. Stone abou
half mile above Roache' place. They wen
ashore and camped together, as the wind wa
blowing pretty hard. Mr.. Stone then tol'
Mr.. Creig about Roache. Creig stated that h
saw a man with dark coat on At Ned's place
but when the man saw them, he disappears
all of sudden. Creig went ashore to tn
house, but found no one. He supposed it va
, Ned, and that he had started off some where

1t is evident they are rapidly acquiring

very conspicuous targets and should be

We were g'ad to learn that there was
no truth in the Pioneers icport Of their

not lie, and he assured US that neither

returned, to their masters, the slaves who
came to volunteer to fight for the Stars
aud Stripes. We hope he did not but at
all events, he refused them protection and
LETT them to be retaken and tortured BY
their masters. Up to this time no slave
has found refuge in our boosted army OF

appeal to the God Of Battles that she is
fighting for the sacred cause Of human
rights and Constitutional Liberty Does
:sHe mean the right to defend ono set OF
men in their right to rob another set OF
men, including t;.cir own children, Of all
rights but the right to labor without wa
ges? Is it for the Constitutional Liberty
of protecting shareholders in their nefari-
GUS business of cradle robbing, that ma
ton of freomen has sprung to arms! DO
we indeed value so highly the privilege Of
playing slave catcher and blood hound,
that after our masters have taken off our
collars, spurned, kicked, and babe us be-.
gone, We turn and worry them to be ia ken
back into service? Just think Of the gal"
liant New York Seventh, marching out in
all the pon:p and panoply Of war to contend
for the privilege Of catching few, poor
forlorn, printing, fugitive slaves! Oh
Lord! Oh Lord !! How long? How
