General JEFF. G.. Davis.

Brig. Gen. jeff G. DAVIS, who shot
Gen. NELSON, in Louisville, was private
in the Second Indiana regiment at the
battle of Buena Vista, and behaved with
remarkable bravery. He was appointed
to the regular army from the State of In
diana in the year 1S4S, receiving the COM
mission of second lieutenant of the First
United States artillery on the 18th Of June
of that year. He was not instructed at
West Point, but appeared to have had a
good military talent. On the 29th of
February, 1862, he was promoted to a
first Geutenancy, and on the 18th Of May,
1861, was appointed captain in the same
regiment, being allowed leave of absence
to take command of the Twenty Second
Regiment of Indiana volunteers. Hewon
distinction in Missouri, under Gen. FIRE.
MONT, who, without authority, made him
brigadier general, which, the govern
ment repudiating, he nearly lost both his
brigade and regimental command, but was
afterward reinstated, and after the battle
Of Pea Ridge, was nominated and con-
firmed as brigadier general. els small
in size, of fiery and impetuous tempera-
ment, and rather illiterate, but bears the
reputation of a good soldier.

Conn issiOners to Receive the Votes Of

Under the act passed by the Legislature
extending the elective franchise to soldiers,
the following commissioners were nomi-
mated by the Governor and approved by
the Senate: Judge HAMIIN, of St. Cloud,
Hon. JOHN M. GILMAN, of St. Paul,
Judge MCMAHON, of Olmsted county.
Judge LEWIS, Of Winona, Hon. S. CHM
MEL, Esq, of St. Peter, and F. M. Srow-
ELL, Esq, of Anoka. These gentlemen
are estimable citizens, and we believe
they will perform the duties assigned to
them most acceptably to all parties.

A Matter Of Taste and Something
More.

A writer in the Press is very indignant
that ''bloody scalp Of Sioux warrior
should be exhibited in this city. He asks:
Is this the way to teach civilization and Chris
tianity to these uncivilized, depraved people?
Where are the clergymen-the teachers of Chris
tianity in Christian City, that such painful
and disgusting sight should be exhibited to the
people of Minnesota as the CORY scalp Of an In
dian taken by a white man Is there no word
of condemnation from the press or the pulpit?
In answer to this questioning sentiment
talist, we may say that we are not engaged
inteaching the Sioux civilization and Chris
tianity," so much as we were few months
ago, and do not care particularly whether
they are improved by the exhibition or not.
So far from condemnation being expressed,
we can assure the writer that it is gener-
ally regretted that the Legislature adjourn
ed without making an appropriation for
bounties on Sioux scalps. We are assured
by christian" members that the deple-
ted condition of the treasury was the sole
reason why the expenditure was not au-
thOrised. Those of our citizens who have
had opportunities Of witnessing the atroc-
tiles OF the Indians are not so squeamish
as the writer in the Press, and can look
upon scalp with earnest satisfaction, and
with no other regret than this, that the
unit did not embrace the hair and heads of
the whole Sioux nation.

Alleged Murders by the WinnebagOes.

There is little doubt of the completely of
the Winnebagoes in the recent murders in
Watonwan county. Letters state that all
the murdered so far have been killed with
arrows, steel pointed about four inches
long, with ears. In two instances the ar
rows were pressed completely through the
bodies. Once in, they cannot be pulled
out, but must be pushed through. These
facts are confirmatory that the murders
We're the work of the Winnebagoes. All
the Sioux, heretofore, have been armed
with good guns, while it is well known that
many of the Winnebagoes have no guns.
There is evidence showing that the Winnie
bago Indians, whom Little Grow says were
killed up the Minnesota river, were half
Winnebagoes, being the sons of Prophet, a
Winnebago, by a Sioux squaw.
The Indians who committed the murders
on the Watonwan, came from the Winnie
bago Reservation, crossed the Blue Earth
near Vernon, passed Willow Greek, and
were tracked to the neighborhood of the
slaughter.
We understand that the evidence of the
completely of the Winnebagoes in these
murders will be laid before General Pope,
in an official form. We trust it will be
deemed sufficient by him, to cause the for
chile removal of the whole tribe before
winter sets in. There is no safety to be
looked for while they remain in the State.

MORE INDIAN DEPREDATIONS.
AN ATTACK ON THE NORWEGIAN SET
ELEMENTS NEAR THE TOWN OF MA
DELLA.

We are compelled to announce another
fragrant outrage of the savages upon our
frontier. On Monday morning the 22d
inst, about five miles beyond Madelia in
the county of Watonwan, some thirty
Sioux savages made their appearance in
the Norwegian settlement, on the North
fork of the Watonwan, and succeeded in
killing some nine persons in that vicinity.
1t is also rumored that they passed over to
the South branch of the WotOnwan. But
as the cavalry at Madelia, some nineteen
in number, after being reinforced by
troops from Garden City and from Capt.
Danes company made rapid pursuit, the
probabilities are that the red rascals were
driven away, if not severely punished. Of
course, very general stampede followed
of all the settlers who had returned to the
neighborhood under the protection OF the
troops scattered in the vicinity. The flu
gitives came to South Bend, Mankato,
where many of them will remain, no Ion
ger willing to venture their lives to save
their crops and property.
1t is alleged that there is evidence going
to show that some of the Winnebagoes
were engaged in these cold blooded muir
ders. Their ponies had been tracked from
the regular crossing Of the Blue Earth
river, to the immediate vicinity of the
outrages. If there is any truth in this ru-
NOR, we commend it to the consideration
of General POPE We have several letters
in our possession which state it as fact.
These continued depredations demand
the utmost vigilance on the part of the
military authorities. We have ustrecord-
ed two very recent raids-one at Paines-
vile, West of St. Cloud, and another near
Hutchinson; and now we are panied to
publish new and still more formidable
outrage on the North branch of the Wa
tanwan river. Our military friends along
the frontier must be wide awake or the re-
gion of country under their charge will be
depopulated.
