is supposed TO have been caused by de-
feet in the chimney. The fire was dis
covered little before five o'clock. AL
the furniture, bedding, &c, was saved
though Mrs. Magoon, who was living il
the house, lost about forty yards Of nict
new carpeting. The house was insured
for $3.50.

CnANGE.---A very neat kind of change
is issued by the Peoples Bank, Derby
Line. 1t consists of checks on the bank
accepted by the cashier. These check,
are nicely got up by Leonard of Cam
bridge, are made Of bank note paper,
three colors, conveniently small and port
able and very Difficult, to counterfeit, and
are pay able in current funds when pre-
spnted in even dollars. Being accepted
by the cashier they are as current as any
bank money. This arrangement will soon
remove the necessity for private shin
p!asters. If the Bank Of Orleans would
do the same way it would be a great
source of relief TO this community.

THE NEW COMMANDER. Major Gen.
Ambrose Everett burnside, the new
commander of the army in Virginia, was
born at Liberty, Ind, in 1924, and i.
therefore but SO years old. lie grad
uaied at West Point in l847, and i'm
mediately joined the artillery of the reg
ular army. In 1S47 he became lieu-
tenant in Bragss battery, with which lie
served in the Mexican war. He left the
army in 1852, and lost money in pa
tent rife of his own invention. Sub
sequently he was with Gen. Mcclellan
on the Illinois Central RAILROAD, where he
was president Of the land oflice depart
ment. He was in New York, acting as
treasurer Of the Central railroad, when
The war broke out. He accepted the COL
onelcy of the first Rhode Island vo'-
unteers, and acted as Brigadier General
ut Bull Run. His subsequent career
as the successful head Of the Roanoke
expedition to North Carolina is familiar.
Gen. Burnside is an officer of fine per-
sonal appearance, good disciplinali IN,
and man Of great yigor and courage.

GEN. McCLELLAN.-The president
has been a warm friend and ddmirer Of
"Little Mac" lie has sacrificed him.

this from any but the best of motives P

the president cannot give the reasons

No PEACE WITH TIE MINNESOTA
INDIANS. The ST. Paul (Minu.) Press
in course Of an earnest protest against al
leniency on the par Of the President tow.
erG the Sioux Indians convicted and un.
der sentence of deal for the massacre oil
the whites in that State, declares that il
carried out, the advice Of the Chiel
Executive of the nation TO enter into
terms of permanent peace with the In
dams will depopulate every acre of Min
nesots soil. The article of protest fur
ther says that if the people are refused
protection, such as martial law has de-
clared-and which includes the execu-
ton of some three hundred Sioux the
people will protect themselves to the last
extremity. They will insist upon the
capital punishment of the guilty, and
The removal OF every ssred ana rem
nan;" Of the hated Indian race by author
ity, or they will take the duties Of making
it so on themselves. The article con-
cludes thus:
"This is 10 longer the petition of the
people of Minnesota. 1t ia their demand,
demand which they will exact TO the
last retributive drop OF Indian blood, and
they will not stop when they shalt take
(if they are left to take) the work OF
vengeance in their own hands-they will
not stop 10 measure justice by the rule
and square, and make nice adjustment
Of the account of blood. They are not
in temper for delicate balancing Of ev,
idence, or judicial discrimination OF the
degrees Of guilt.
If the government wants wholesale
hanging by the acre; if they want the
Western plains turned into wide Col
gotha Of dead Indians il they wan
them hunted down Ike wild beasts, from
the face of the continent they had better
refuse to perform the act of justice which
the people of this State demand, and turr
the unshrived criminals over to their vic
tins.
We ask the government, then, in tse
name of humanity, 10 take the work o
punishment in its own hands. If the,
would save the nnocent--if they would
save the citizens of tho United State.
everywhere and anywhere in this broaC
continent, any small remains Of conf
dence in the protection Of its laws
they would save the Northwest from ar
Indian war of years duration, which mi.
lions of dollars will not conclude-they
will see to it that justice has now its full
and final course"
