INDIAN TROUBLES Geo. L. Davenport
an old citizen of our neighbor city bearing his
name, has just returned from Minnesota, hav-
ing left St. Paul last Friday evening. His
purpose was to examine into the Indian trou-
blcs. The long and intimate acquaintance of
Mr.. d. with Indians would have enabled him
to be of great service in effecting reconcilia-
ton, had such a thing been possible.
He supposed, when leaving, that there was
only little trouble between small band of
Indians ard few incautious whites. But
on arriving at his destination he was quickly
undeceived. Instead of small bands, he found
whole tribes engaged in the fearful work.
He thinks that at least six hundred whites
have persisted in the different massacres, and
about two hundred women and children are
held as captives.
The unprotected borders of our own State
are liable to be visited by these savage brutes
at any time. Gov. Ramsay, of Minnesota,
has about four thousand men enrolled, with
plenty of arms and ammunition. He is being
seconded by our own Governor in a vigorous
We shall now look for war which
will wipe from existence at least the tribes
now engaged in hostility against the whites.

saN We commend the following convinc.
ing and concise statement of our rights be
|ligerent in this contest, and the reasons there
fore, to the attention of those, who yet hest
tate on the confscation question. LII an
extract from speech of Sumner, delivered
in the last Congress.
| Thus do vindicate for Congress all tie
rights OF war. If, assuming the powers OF
Congress, any further question be raised as
to the extent OF these rights, l. reply, briefly.
tina; there is no right which, according to re-
ceived authorities, may be exercised against q
hostile sovereign or prince, embracing, Of
course, confiscation Of property, real as well
as personal, which may not in our discretion
be recognized against rebel enemy and
the reason is obvious. Whatever may be the
mitgations Of the rights of war introduced
by modern civilization, under which private
property in certain cases is exempted from
confiscation, this rule does not apply to cases
aohsre there as direct personal responsibility
FIR The War; and here is the.'precise difference
between the responsibility Of the sovereign or
prince, and the responsibility of the private
citizen; the private citizen is excused, but
the sovereign or prince is always held rcspon-
siblc to the full extent of his property, real
as we'll as personal. But every rebel who
has voluntarily become public enemy, has
assumed a personal responsibility for which,
according to acknowledged principles of pub
lie law-especially if he has taken high Office
in the rebel government-he may be held La
BILE to the full extent of his property, real as
we'll as personal. Every citizen who volunta
rily aids in armed rebellion, is hostile sovc-
reign or prince. A generous lenity may in
terfere to limit his liability, but on principles
of public law he is IN the very condition of
Shylock when his cruelty was arrested by the
righteous judge:
off thou dost shed
One drop of Christian blood, thy lands and goods
Are by the laws Of Venice, coafiscate
Unto the State of Venice"
Such, sir, is the extent of the powers which
may be exercised by Congress. Of course,
it will be for Congress to determine the degree
of severity or lenity which it will adopt
In claiming these powers to the full extent, |
yield to no Senator IN that spirit of clemency
which, next to justice, is the grace and crna-
ment Of success.
Mr.. President, such are the principles on
which we are now to act. In announcing
them and reducing them to practice, Cong
ress will enlarge its already accumulated
claims to public gratitude.

with their usual liberality have rendered ten
per cent of the entire gross receipts of their
exhibitions as donation to the Ladies' Sol
diers' Aid Society, of this city. From what
we can learn, the company is one of the very
best now travelling and we'll worth visit
from their own merits, but doubly so on ac-
count of their liberality here and elsewhere.
We are informed that their per centage dona-
tons to the different Soldiers Aid Societies,
during the past season, amounts to nearly
four thousand dollars. Such praiseworthy
liberality should commend them to the
patronage of the public, and we feel confident
that our citizens will respond by filling the
canvass to its utmost capacity, afternoon and
night.
