From the Land of the DakOtas.

Among the recent arrivals in town, we
are glad to welcome the Hon. H. S. DON
ALDsoN of Pembina, and our old friend F.
J. DEWITT, Esq; both representative men
of the Northwestern frontier. They were
at Red Lake River, when the wagon train
loaded with merchandise en- route from
Georgetown to Fort Garry, was plum
dered by the Chippewas, and they give
Mr.. KrrTsoN great credit for his efforts to
save the goods.
Mr.. DONALDSON last winter ably repre-
sented the electoral district in the Dakota
Legislature, and has recently been re-
elected He is one of the few men who is
well acquainted with our entire North
west frontier, and the wants of it's inhab-
itants. tt- ,f.. :.
Mr.. De WITT is we'll known as one of
the early explorers of the Indian country
west of Minnesota. Since the organiza-
ton of Dakota he has resided in the South
ern part Of that Territory.

MinnesOta's Quota under the 900, 900
Call.

Minnesota has now organized, under the
call of the President for 100000 troops,
five full regiments of infantry, amounting
in the aggregate to about 4, 400 men. Her
quota under this call is 1892. But she is,
we understand, to be credited with the
new cavalry regiment authorized for the
Sioux war, which is rapidly filling up.
When this regiment is full,-which fact
we hope to announce in week or ten
Minnesota will be ''out of the
woods" so far as drafting is concerned, to
complete the new levies.
But our citizens must prepare, in addi-
ton to all this, to stand draft on the
10th of November, to fill up the old regi-
m.nts. This, from present appearances,
will be unavoidable.

News of the Indian Expedition.

A gentleman who arrived Saturday
from General S1BLEY's camp informs us
that the Indians who came in had
been disarmed, and three hundred and fif-
ty Of them placed in irons. One hundred
and two were at General SIBLEY's camp,
and the balance at Yellow Medicine.
Some of the soldiers were not little
disappointed in their expectations of adj
ministering capital punishment to the red
devils, by orders which it was understood
had been received from General Pope to
transport all the culprits to Fort Smell
ing. Our informant says they may be
expected to arrive the latter part of this
week. We are not informed what dis
position will then be made of them.
General SIBLEY, in the opinion of our
informant, has managed his expedition
with consummate tact and ability, and has
been more than match for Indian craft
in every particular His knowledge of In
dian character has been of the greatest
service to the objects of the expedition.
While apparently lending credulous ear
to their :'me good Indian stories, and
trusting them, in the opinion of some, be-
yond the bounds of prudence, he was
steadily pursuing the accomplishment OF
two objects, viz, rescuing the prisoners,
and getting all the warriors of the tribe in
his possession, in both Of which he has
been successful beyond the hopes of the
most sanguine, and even his own expec-
tatiOns. t
As to further advance into the Indian
country, we are told that it has been abso-
lutely impossible to move his force on ac-
count of the difficulty of getting supplies
for more than two or three days in adj
vance, and the necessity OF pursuit has
been obviated by the voluntary surrender
of the savages into his hands. 1t remains
now for the superiors of Gen. SHELLEY in
command, to determine the punishment
of those who have been captured, and the
final disposition ofthe bands implicated in
the outrages, as well as to protect the
rontier from incursions in the future.

Gen. smiley ana the sioux Indians.

Mr.. JOHN WRIeHr, of Lake Shetek, who
returned from Mankato to the camp,
where he vent to get his son, who was a
prisoner among the Indians, informs the
Mankato Record that General SIBLEYs
intentions are to secure all the prisoners
before he takes any hostile steps and in
a conversation with Mr.. WRIGHT he said
that when he was done with the Indians
there would not be enough Sioux left to
hurt any more white people.
Mr.. WRIGHT says the principal cause Of
complaint against General S1BLEY is be-
cause he does not explain to everybody his
plans. To do SO, even to his inferior Off
GERS, would be dangerous, as the half
breeds are watchful and treacherous, and
carry everything they hear to the Indians.
Hence the greatest secrecy is required.
Mr.. WRIGHT has the utmost confidence in
General SIBLEY, and believes that his eff
forts to secure the release of all the white
prisoners will prove successful. The low
er Sioux have been sent to the Agency,
under military protection, to gather their
crops. This is not done with view Of
again establishing the old agencies or loca-
ting the Indians on their former reserva-
ton, but as blind to restore confidence
among the Indians, and induce the hostile
bands to return and give themselves up.
General SIBLEY's own opinion is, that the
number of really good Indians is exceed
ingly small, and this is also the impression
of others familiar with the Indian charac-
ter. OTHER DAY says there are about six
or a dozen ''good Indians" and all the
others are bad
1t is General S1BLEY's intention, after he
secures the release of all the white prison.
ers, to try and punish all Indians impli-
Gated in the murders.
