in all, murdered he visited Beaver

went to evey house and recognized
bodies of nearly all former inhabitants.
Among the recognized at Agency,
were N. Givins and family, Mr.. Gal

John and Edwin Maynor and two mis-.
sionaries, Rev. DR.. Williamson and

The force gone to the relief of Fl.
Ridgley reports that the Sioux bands
united in carrying out terrible and
desperate scheme, and says they will
only be too happy to find so powerful
supporting bands as the Yancton, and
other Indians not united with them.
Mr.. Frenzler, the disguised inter-
prefer writing Gov. Ramsey from Hen
derson, 2lst, says he left Fort Ridg.
ley at S, P. NJ, and there were two
thousand Indians around F. Ridglcy.
The wooden buildings were burn.
ing, and he thinks that other tribes ore
joining the Sioux, and present a for.
midable army.
A reliable letter dated Glenco, 21st,
says injury was done by a stampede
of the settlers. Another scene of woe
can hardly be found in the South as
in Mcleod, Meeker, and the northern
part of Sibley and other counties. In
st. Paul and adjoining country all
available horses are being gathered
up, by willing hands for immediate and
summary punishment Of these auda-
cious and rascally Indians.
Within the last two or three days
families have been coming down from
the scene of the disturbance, the OBJ
ject being to place the women and
children in safety with their friends.
Some twenty persons from Blue Earth,
forty miles this side of tho scene Of
the massacre, arrived in this town
Oh Monday night-among them the
Messrs. Howland's and their families.
The men have returned to look after
the homes they SO suddenly fed.
They report that the Indians were
armed with mimic rifles, and it is a
mystery to the Indian Agent how
they obtained them. Some say the
Indians were offered Treasury notes
instead of gold, by the Agent, which
led them to believe the Government
intended to practice fraud upon
them. 1t is more than suspected,
however, that secesh influences are
at work among the Indians, and that
the troubles may be traced to this
source. ....

The Editor OF the lnternati Onal Journal

of Lung Complaints, we have the greatest
faith in WISTAR'S BAISAM OF WILD

without injury to the nervous system. We
speak of this valuable medicine from personal
knowledge of its effect. Scarcely two years
have elapsed since member of our family
was raised from the very brink of the grave
through its use; and in several subsequent cases
where it has been administered in our house
hold, it has never since failed of the desired
effect. We cheeriuily commend it to our
friends in the Western States, and among the
rest of mankind, as a certain remedy for in
cipient diseases of the lung"
