rmant has no doubt that they will do valiant

oped these cheering prospects will meet with

From the He'd River Country:
We had call yesterday from VIM. Cald-
I'll, Esq, cditcr of the North West, publish
d at Fort Gary, in the Sclkirk settlement.
Ie left home about the middle Of June, aud
eports everything prosperous among our
Il ighbors in the valley Of the Red River Of
he North. Reports believed to be reliable
lad reached the settlement that gold in pay
pe quantities had been found on the head
1aters Of the Saskatchewan, Clearwater and
Peace Rivers. Two hundred Canadian miners
,ad arrived, on their way to Caraboo, on the
West side OF the Rocky Mountains; but they |
bad 60 far changed their programme Us to de-
ternine to explore the new localities from
which the favorable reports had come.
The settlement nov numbers some lo,ooV
people, and their trade with Minnesota a.
ready amounts to about two millions annnu-
suy. They pay in f1rs and coin. The goods
thus purchased arc consumed BY traders trap-
pers and Indians, who make long journeys 10
the Rocky Mountains and the far North, to
enjoy the excitement OF the chase turs
were higher this year, owing to the competl-
zion Of dealers from the States with the Aud-
sons Bay CompEny. The story that the sup
n1y is sEort is q mistake.
The Journey from st. Paul to Fort Gary is
row made in splendid coaches, some 25o
miles, to Georgetown, on the Red River, and
thence by steamer to the Fort, occupying IN
all from seven to nine days. Stations With
comfortable accommodations are found at the
end Of each days journey. The trip to Lake
Nipnepeg is now easily and comfortably
made, thanks to the intelligent enterprise OF
Msssrs. Burbank d Co., Of St. Paul Ihe
trade with this section of the Northwest Is
speedily increasing, and it must in 3 very few
years assume gigantic proportions. Although
it naturally belongs to St. Paul, and nobody
here is disposed to Interfere Tith our friends
thercaway, it will do no harm for our mcr-
Giants aud business men to inquire how t:sr
tley are interested in its development.
Rebel Prisoners at New York.
The 533 rebel prisoners taken BY Helntzel-
mans army corps, and sent to Fortress MOL
