On Thursday the President sent Message to
the Senate furnishing information respecting tie late
Indian barbariiies in the State Of Minnesota. From
the Commissioner Of Indian Affairs and from Gen
Pope he asccrtailed the names Of the persons sen-
fenced TO be hanged transcripts Of the records did

meeting Of Coagress--n the mean time he had re-
ceived appeals by telegraph for their execution from
some parties, and in their behalf from others. Be
fore he had examined the records Of the trial. Of
the Senators, and both The Representatives, from

GEN. BANk Y.

If we have printed less than some Of our
cotemporaries with regard to Gen. BANKs's
Expedition. it has rot been from lack of inter.
est in its progress, nor yet of information with
regard to it. But we have been guided by a
firm resolve that should any premature dis
closure mar its efficiency, it should never be
sad that THE TRIBUNE was responsible for It,.
And We shall not now speak OF ITS strength,
lis objects, or its destination. It's leader has
explained that he was going-SOuth, which
should be sufficient. We will only add that he
goes in force, Military and Naval, and that If
he finds any traitors in arms at or near his
point of dcbarkation, somebody will stand
chance to get hurt
NATHANIEL Z. BANKS ia q noble specimen
Of the natural productions of Ncw-Engand-
that section Of our common country which
Horatio Seymour says produced Benedict
Arnold to yirgnias Washington, and which
some Of its own renegade sons propose 10
eject aud exclude from our country in order
TO coax back into her seats OF power the
slayeholding traitors. Graded in poverty and
obscurity, with father lot only poor III pres
ent goods but certain to remain 50 till his
death, young Banks worked his way up from
the lowest and worst-pad position IN cotton
factory TO be- fir-t-rate mechanic, a lawyer,
statesman becoming Speaker of the House
in State whose politics had ever before been
strongly adverse to his own; then ruling
spirit in her Constitutional Conventions; next,
a Member Of Congress; then Speaker; and
finally Governor OF the proud State which
proudly claimed him as her son; holding that
eminent position by successive reflections
until he declined 10 hold ii longer, renouncing
public life in honorable poverty IN order 70
earn by useful industry competence for his fam
lis; but leaving lucrative and agreeable pri-
yate station when his country summoned her sons
10 defend her in the tented field. and speedily
winning, though wholly inexperienced IN the
trade of war, the reputation OF WISE brave and
sAilllul commander-such is Gen. y. L. Banks.
Aud, widely as political and other differences
now separate the American People, We have
recently met no man who even seemed 10
doubt his fitness for command, or to class him
among that unbappiy numerous class OF
augers that won't bore" In fact, the in
stinctye and universal confidence wherewith
be is regarded, the general belief that be will
make good report of himself, are fresh proofs
TO our mind OF the general correctness Of Pub
lie Opinion. He may or may not be soon
heard from; he may be called To meet tide
of adverse fortune; but his country will never
have reason TO deplore her trust in him, while
his friends viii never DO called to blush for the
conduct of Nathaniel i. Banks.

Monongahela, the Potomac, Great and Little
Kanawha, Guyaudotte, Greenbrier, and other
considerable rivers. The Great Kanawha Is
nayigable from the Ohio to the Great Falls
near Gauley, in the salt region. The Northern
counties of the new State have the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, which separate soon
after leaving the Maryland line, running
one branch north to Wheeling and another
directly west to Parkersburg, on the Ono.
The Shenandoah Valley Railroad comes
within a few miles Of Hardy County,
and the road from Richmond, by way OF Cor
donsyille to Staunton, also comes near to the
line of the new State, in Greenbrier County.
The James River Canal is another eastern
link coming very near the line
Cut off from the seaboard by almost impass'
able mountains, and repehng settlers by the
STIGMA. rather than the fact of Slavery, this
highly favored region for farmers has been
stunned by the wave of Western-bound agrl-
culturists. and her development has rested al-
together with her own hardy, but ll-lnstructed
people. Under her new Constitution, the black
shadow of desolation will soon pass away and
the strong arm of free labor will soon give the
new State an impetus like that which but a
few wears ago started Wisconsin, Iowa and
Minnesota into such lusty and promising Life.

Here we have third Of million of white
people, (ij, 900 more than there are in South
Carolina, and nearly as many as in Mississippi
or Louisiana and only 1921 slaves, or less
than four to each hundred whites. The white
population has increased y 1872 or - per cent
in ten years; the slaves have decreased nearly
a thousand, or g. per cent in the same period.
The whole Of old Virginia in the same ten
years gained II per cent only on her white
population, and per cent on her slaves; the
entire increase being only III per cent.
1t is scarcely necessary to mention the geo
graphical features of West Virginia. IL is
land Of rough bills aud fertile valleys, of nnu.
merable streams pure aud bracing air, and
for general saubrity is unsurpassed. The
western slopes of the Aeganies contain many
excellent stock farms, and, before the war,
sent to Eastern markets large numbers of cattle
fully equal to those Of the famous Blue Grass
region Of Kentucky. The uplands Of West
Virginia are all well adapted to grazing,
producing excellent fodder, aud hav.
ing mildcr climate in Winter

There are also some good sheep farms in the
northern counties. Along the Ohio, Mononga.
hela, Kanawho, and the smaller streams the
bottom and plain lands are rich, aud particu-
larry good for corn growing. In mineral wealth
the new State is particularly fortunate. The
Salt Springs Of the Kanawha Valley, and the
vast beds Of coal in other sections arc the
most important. There are also immense beds
of gypsum, with ores of iron, lead copper, &c. !
Camel and bitumnous coal of the best quality
are among tho most valuable deposits Of the
Kanawha and Ohio Valleys.
