HORRIBLE TRAGEDY AT ARTHABAsKA.-
We learned last night, from gentleman
from Arthabaskagille, that shocking
tragedy had occurred in the township of
Staniold, about three miles from the sta
ton, some time yesterday morning. A
woman named Madame BOurret, who had
manifested symptoms of insanity years
ago, and before her marriage and whose
husband is now in the United States,
murdered her seven children and then
cut her own throat. IL appears that ON
Sunday night there was a veilee at her
house, and the thing must have occurred
between the departure Of the guests and
morning, for at an early hour yesterday
morning Madame Bourrets daughter,
who had been az the yeillee, but resided
at ST. Norbert, called at her mothers 10
see her. Finding the door closed, sho
looked in through the window, aud was
then shocked TO see eight oorpses-those
Of her mother, her brothers and sisters.
The eldest of the murdered children a
girl fourteen years Of age seems 10 have
had a desperate struggle foe her life for
the bodies Of mother and daughter we're
lying close together, and the mother had
several wounds upon her arm apparently
inflicted by an axe that was also close TO
the bodies. The daughters throat and
arm were cut, evidently with razor,
which the rigid fingers Of the mother
still tightly grasped when the tragedy
was discovered by the surviving daugh-
ter. All the doors and windows were
| found barred on the inside, thus Of
course leading 10 the conclusion that the
dreadful deed had been committed by
some one insido.-QucLco Chronicle,

Each reverse we have had 80 far has
only made us the more determined and
earnest and it seems 10 me that what we
especially need just now, is earnestness
in the conduct OF this war. We need the
rosewaterp policy stopped-something be-
sides administering Oaths IL needed. The
hemp should take the place Of the Bible
in this business. Our railroad trains are
fired into and the men who do it are
sworn and turned loose, TO do il over
again. The soldiers are getting very tired
| OF all this. We have stood as guards
over rebel property long enough.
Gen. Buell. has cndeayored TO make his
corps a mere police for the better protec-
| ton of rebels.
His general orders on this matter bear
| heavily on his own men. Will you be-
liove il? He has forbidden his troops
when on the march, 20 enter "under any
pretense whatever, any enclosure what
ever" So a poor soldier can't go in 10 a
house TO buy a string of onions but he
! subjects himself 10 arrest and punish
ment by the Provost Guard. Gen. Buell.
! personally, ordered under arrest a Lieut.
enant Of the 9th Indiana, who was going
10 a house to buy few vegetable
The transportation allowed our army
is 50 small--and / must think the staff
ulcers so ignorant OF negligent Of their
duiy-that the Commissaries, who are
generally relied upon to furnish officers
with provisions, do not carry such things
and in such quantities a. we need, anC
we must forage or buy Of the Socesh. /
We do the former We are arrested; II thl
latter, cheated. II does seem strange q
me that the Generals who are so careful
Of rebel property should allow the Sc
cesh TO sell their garden sass at sucI
eXorbitant prices. ] have seen a UniO
guard "gardu' a Secesh garden the pro
prietor Of which was selling onions Z
our men at the rate Of one doIiqr per dozen
My blood boiled at this little, as nearl
! as can remember.

An EIpre..Ion from uuelI,. Army

An Expression from UueII's Army.
The following extract from a private
letter, to a gentleman of this city, shows
the restraint placed upon the "rosewatcr
policy" of conducting the war, by intelli-
gent soldiers in the field, The course of
Gen. Buell, as mentioned in this letter, in
guarding the property Of Secessionists,
while his own soldiers are suffering, de-
mands the attention Of the War Depart
ment. His supersedure by such an earn
est war Democrat as Gen. Lew Wallace,
would prove just the kind of conservative
action the people delight in, and be
equivalent TO strengthening that army
with an entire division of men:

Second Minnesota.

Where the testimony is so universal to
the good conduct of the Second Minnesota
in the late battle in Kentucky, there seems
to be little necessity of culing from the pa~
pers all the words of commentator the re-
giment has received, but we print the fol-
lowing from the correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune, because in contains state
ment that has not hitherto been published !:
The gooi regiments among the volun.
teers will emulate the splendid example set
them by the 10th Indiana, the 9th Ohio,
and the I'd Minnesota. Every officer in
these regiments was at his post, looking af-
ter his men, keeping them in line of battle
as far as possible, and watching for the or,
ders from superior officers.
Every man was in his place and minded
bis own business. That was the reason our
line, wheu we formed, never wavered. That
is the reason that nineteen men of the Min
nesota I'd were found lying on one spot
not more than twenty yards ssquare-where
the battle had ragged the hottest, and that
very spot was right in the front edge of
their line of battle, within ten wards of
where Zollicofcr fell. That was the reason
why the rebels, though outnumbering us,
could not outfank us and why the 9th
Ohio drove from the field, at the point of
the tayonet, men who were az brave as
themselves.

Swearing the Rebels.

The New York Times, at the close of
some comments On the orders issued by
General Halleck in Missouri, requiring the
members of the St. Louis Chamber of Com
merce and the professors and eurators of
the University of Missouri to subscribe to
the oath OF allegiance, says:
Remarkable success seems to follow these
moral orders of General HalIeck. The
great rebels of the Chamber of Commerce
came right up to the rack the mercantile
rebels followed one man of doubtful 10y.
atty after another pursued the same path,
and we expect to hear, in day or two as
the result OF yesterdays order, that all the
professors, curators, presidents, contractors,
and all the employed and unemployed in
Missouri, outside of General Prices camp,
have declared their eternal and unfinching
loyalty. This swearing process undoubted-
ly does g0pd to the rebels in many ways.
1t shows what thin veneer secession is
when bitter cid pro-slavery rebels can cast
it Oft and return to loyalty thus easily. A
great many of these men, now taking the
oath in Missouri, belonged but a few
months ago TO the class who, little further
South, are now swearing that they will new
er, never, never submit to the authority and
supremacy of the national government. But
why may not the rebels OF Memphis, New
Orleans, Savannah, and Richmond be all,
before another year, brought to at least as
high standard of loyalty as their " swear
ing" brethren have now reached in Nilsson
ri? 1t only requires the same success to
follow our arms in the most embittered of
the other rebel States to produce the same
results as have followed in Missouri.
These remarks have all the force of truth
They are the language of practical common
sense, and we commend them to the consid.
Grafton OF ali who dream of the impOssibility
of the subjugation of the rebels and the
restoration OF the authority of the federal
government.
