THE INDIANS IN MINNESOTA.
500 Settlers Murdered
Secessionists the Instigators.

ST.. PAUL, MINI, Aug 23.-Parties from
the Minnesota river reached here last night.
They state that scouts estimate the number
of the whites already killed by the Sioux at
500. This opinion is based on the number of
bodies discovered strewn along the roads and
nv trails of blood. 1t is believed that all the
missionaries have been killed. The civilized
Indians exceed their savage brethren in afro
city.
Mr.. Freenier, an interpreter, who has spent
most of his life among the Indians, volunteer
ed to 90 alone among them, trusting to his
knowledge of them and his disguise to escape
detection. He dressed himself in Indian cos
tune, and started on his journey. He arrived
at the upper agency at night. The place was
literally the habitation of death. He visited
all the houses, and found their former Occu-
pants all lying dead, some the door-steps and
some inside their habitations. Others were
scattered in the yards and on the roads. lie
went to the house of John r. Brown, and re-
cognized every member of the family. They
numbered eighteen in all, and every one OF
them had been brutally murdered. At Beaver
Greek he found that fifty families had been
Killed outright. At every house he went to
he recognized the dead bodies of nearly all the
former occupants. Among the dead he recog-
nized at the agency were the following; =
N. Ginnerus and family, DIR. Wakefield and
family, John Todden and family, John Meri-
ner, Edward Meriner, r. Williams, Rev. Mr..
briggs, and two missionaries.
Ex-Gov. Sibley is now marching to the re-
lief of fort Ridgely. He reports that the 81
oux bands are united together to carry out
concentrated and desperate scheme, and says
he will be only too happy to find that the pow
erful upper bands of Yanktons and other
tribes have not united with them.
Mr.. Freenier writes to Gov. Ramsey on the
2lst inst, saying that he left fort Ridgely at
O'Clock on that morning. There were then
over 2000 Indians at the fort, and all the
wooden buildings there had been set on fire
and were burning. Mr.. Freenier thinks that
other tribes are joining the Sioux, and they
will present very formidable array. re-
liable letter dated Glencoe on the 2lst, says
that the injury done by the stampede of the
settlers is immense and that such anoth-
er scene of woe can hardly be found in
the south as in Mcleod, Meeker and the
northern part of Sibley and other counties in
Minnesota.
In st. Paul and the adjoining counties all
available horses are being gathered together
and all sorts of weapons will be used by will
ing hands for immediate and summary ven
geance upon these blood thirsty Indians.
CHICAGO, Aug 23.-The st. Paul Minneso-
Ia Pioneer of the goth, says it is thought the
Indians have been induced to commit these
outrages by Indians from Missouri, and by
the secession traitors of that state, and that
when major Galbrath left the agency, on
finding that everything was quiet, the Indians

been no Geographic communication south OF
Russellville, KY, since o'clock Thursday
afternoon.
MEMPHIS, Aug 23.-Part of the gunboat
fleet made reconnaissance belew Napoleon,
Ark, and found all quiet and returned. The
Grenada Appeal continues to assert that a gen
craI movement of the the rebel armies west is
to take place Immediately, and that Tennessee
and kentucky are soon to be in possession Of
the confederates.
On the goth inst, 1000 guerrillas passed
through Raleigh, Tenn, in the direction of
Memphis, and then retraced their steps the
same afternoon, burning all the bridges over
Wolfe and Hatchie rivers and all the cotton
they could find. The country northward OF
Memphis, outside the federal lines, is repre-
scented to be considerably excited in conse-
quence of depredations committed by men
claiming to be federal soldiers, but who are
probably rebels in disguise.

New YORK, Aug. 24.-The steamer Ariel,
from Asplnwall on the 10th, has arrived with
$l,OS3,0O0 in treasure. She spoke on the
2lst the gunboat Perguin,. in latitude 27.3O,
longitude 1929. She stated that she had
driven rebel steamer on the Little Bahamas
where she was supposed to be at anchor, and
supposed her to be the ''Oviets." She had
also chased another suspicious vessel on the
same banks, and was there cruising to cut
them off.
The steamship Constitution arrived at Pan
anna, on the 18th, in fifty-four days from New
York. She sailed from San Francisco on the
10th ult. The Ariel's passengers adyices
from Rio, July 18th, state that the govern
ment of of Brazil has decided that after two
yeas, the Amazon and its tributaries shall be
open to the commerce of all nations.

A Riot of Soldiers.

New YORK, Aug. 24.-Owing to some dis
affection among the troops of the Empire
brigade at east New York, considerable of a
riot occurred Saturday afternoon. The bar
racks were torn down, hotel Quilted, several
officers beaten, and many soldiers badly hurt.
A militia company and 100 marines were sent
to aid the police in quelling it. One of the
militia fired into the crowd, killing the SER
geant major of one of the regiments. Police
inspector Folk of Brooklyn was very badly
cut in the head with stones, and many Of the
police were also injured.
The troops generally stampeded to Brook
Ign and New York cities, and at nine in the
evening only about 100 of the 2O00 were in
camp. Many have been arrested since, and
returned by the police. The whole otfair is
said to have been primarily caused by the
non-reception of promised bounties.

have just read yours of the 10Th, addressed to
myself through the N. Y Tribune. If there
be in it any statements or assumptions of facts
which l may know to be erroneous, l do not
now and here controvert them. If there be
in it any differences which [ may believe to be
falsely drawn, do not now and here argue
against them. If there be perceptible in it an

ference to an old friend whose heart have
always supposed to be right. As to the poll
cy "seem to be pursuing" as you say,
have not meant to leave any one in doubt.

the shortest way under the constitution. The
sooner the national authority can be restored
the nearer the Union will be the Union as it

If there be those who would not save the
Union unless they could at the same time save
slavery, L do not agree with them. If there
be those who would no save the Union, I'M
less they could at the same time destroy slave
ry, do not agree with them. My paramount
object in this struggle is to save the Union,
and is not either to save or destroy slavery. If
| could save the Union without freeing any
slave, would do it; and if l could save it by
freeing all the slaves, would do it; and if 1
could save it by freeing some and leaving 9TH
ers alone, would also do that.
What L do about slavery and the colored
race, do because | believe it helps to save
this Union; and what forbear, forbear be-
cause | do not believe it would help to save
the Union. | shall do less whenever l shall
believe what L am doing hurts the cause; ant
| shall do more whenever shall believe doing
more will help the cause; | shall try to cor
rect errors, when shown to be errors; and
shall adopt new views so fast as they shall ap

l have here stated my purpose according tC
my view of official duty, and intend no mod
itication of my often-expressed personal wish
that all men everywhere could be free.

peared, apparently satisfied with the majors
promise to send for them as soon as the mon
ey arrived to pay them their annuities.
The first attack of the Indians was made on
the house of Mr.. Baker on Sunday last near
the town of Acton and thirty miles from
Forrest City, in which three men and one wo-
man were killed. On. Monday morning an
attack was made on Red Wood, and at the
time the messenger left there, a number of
persons had been killed. After the messen-
ger had crossed the river, he saw the Indians
firing into traders stores and other buildings
He estimated the number of Indians engaged
in this firing at a hundred and fifty. He also
stated that messengers had arrived at Fort
Ridgely with money to pay off the Indians
the sums due them.
The st. Paul Express of the 2lst inst. says
that several loads of panic-stricken people
from Currier and Sibley counties, arrived IN
town last night, principally women and child
rem. They were greatly excited, and give eX-
aggerated accounts of the Indians who were
marching on Shasta county. They also say
that the towns of St. Peters, Henderson, and
Glencoe, have been burned. These alarming
troubles originated with the cursed secession
its of Missouri Major Galbraithwas told by
10000 of the Sioux tribe, besides others from
Northern Missouri.

who got through the Indian lines into fort
Ridgey has brought back the following to
Gov. Ramsey.
Fort RIDGELY, Aug. 81, 1902 o'clock
p. M.-We can hold this position but little
longer unless we are reinforced. We are be-
ing attacked almost every hour, and unless
assistance is rendered us, we cannot hold out
much longer. Our little band is becoming
exhausted and decimated. We had hoped to
be reinforced to-day, but as yet, can here of no
one coming. T. G. SHELDON,
Of Company c., 9TH Minnesota Volunteers,

CINCINNATI Aug 24.-There is entirely too
much importance attached to the rebel raids
in Tennessee and Kentucky. The statements
of the strength of the rebel force is believed
to be much exaggerated. Little credence
should be awarded to the rebel dispatches, as
it is known they were prepared with the view
of having them fall into our hands.

Rich Without Money.

Many man is rich without money.
Thousands of men without nothing in the
pocket, and thousands without even a pocket
are rich. A man born with good sound
constitution, a good stomach, a good heart
and good limbs, and pretty good head
piece, is rich. Good bones are better than
gold, tough muscles than silver, and nerves
that flash fire and carry energy to every
function, are better than houses and land.
1t is better than landed estate, to have
the right kind of father and mother. Good
breeds exist among men as really as they do
among herd and horses. Education may do
much to check evil tendencies, or to devslope
good ones but it is great thing to inherit
the right proportion of faculties to start
with. That man is rich who has good dis
position; who is naturally kind, patient,
cheerful, hopeful, and who has flavor of
wit and fun in his composition. The hardest
thing to get along with in this life is m an S
own SELF A cross, selfish fellow, despond-
ing and complaining felow-a timid, care
burdened man-these have all been deformed
on the inside. Their feet may not limp but
their thoughts do.

When child is born into the world the
