Mr.. George T. May, who accompanies
Captain Banning, the chief commissary of
General Curtis army, is so we'll known in
this city for his good and genial qualities,
that the following will interest many of our
city readers. It is an extract from a pri.
vate letter received from Mr.. May, dated at
Helena, Arkansas, describing the march of
Curtis army from Batesville to Helena:
Day before yesterday July LAY had an
adventure which will relate as briefly as
possible. WAS behind the rear division of
our army, with four six mule teams and a
squad of ten men, to collect bacon, sugar,
&C., and when about four miles from camp
learned from negro boy that some sixteen
men of the neighborhood were armed and
out looking for US, for the purpose, as the
negro said, "of killing the Yankees" l
sent two of my men back to camp for a
reinforcement of ten men, and moved on
with the train and the eight remaining men,
trusting that we would be able, having far
better arms, to clean out any sixteen secesh.
/ went on two miles further, collected lot
of bacon, and was about to leave the farm
on which the meat was found, when my
party was surrounded by from 80 to 100
Texan Rangers. The men, after delivering
their fire at the rebels, skedaddled for their
lives. was on foot, having left my horse
in front of the farmhouse some distance
back, and concluded to stand my ground
and not attempt to run, as was very much
fatigued. The shot flew thick and fast
around me, but succeeded in getting into
the farmhouse to await the result, which
was to my mind certain and speedy death.
After some fifty or sixty shots had been
fred and concluded all my boys had been
killed, the secesh rode up to the farmhouse,
and as good fortune would have it, the first
men who came up were the Captain and o
lieutenant colonel of the confederate service,
who was along on detached service. The
Captain called to me, and went out and
met him on equal terms, inquired bis name,
and said that presumed was his prisoner.
He said Eyes," but that he did not wish to
take me along. l inquired how about the
two wounded men who had been brought in,
and the reply was we would all be paroled.

any OF the privates had come up first, they
would have shot Us down without any hest

You may imagine I was glad to escape

The 10th Massachusetts is in General

"Now mark the bearing of the men.

The Fort Garry Nor Wester of July 9th

says:
The fine steamer International arrived at
Fort Garry for the third time this season. on
Friday afternoon, the 9th ultimo. She had
been longer away than usual, on account of
there not being sufficient quantity of freight
at Georgetown. Her down trip was the quick.

day afternoon, and reached Fort Garry about
the same hour on Friday. She was delayed
six hours at Goose Rapids. having run aground
because the channel of the river was not close.
ly followed. The Captain says there was quite
enough water in the proper channel, and hav.
ing taken some pains to ascertain its exact
whereabouts. they have no fear of being de-
tanned there again. Making allowance then
for the six hours delay, the boat was less than
three days in accomplishing the down passage.
On Monday of last week she took a run down
to Netley Creek for the steamboat barge. and
returned the same evening. She finally left for
Georgetown late on Tuesday evening, and may
be looked for here on Tuesday or Wednesday
next. She brought down on this third trip
about 60 tons of goods-the greater part being
for the Hudson's Bay Company.

The Blue Earth Minnesotian thus
speaks of the crops in Faribault county:

It is estimated that over one third of all the
grain in the county will be cut this week. We
noticed last week that much of the grain had
been injured by the storm, but we are glad te
be able to state, that though it was badly
lodged, most of it stands up well now. The
damage is but slight. We shall have the heav'
lest crop of wheat, oats and barley, ever rails
ed in the State.
LIEUT.. HARLEY, who has been for several
months past Quartermaster 10 the Potomac
Army, has returned to Lake City. Being
incapacitated to perform the duties of his
Office, in consequence of the effects of a
wound received year ago at Bull Run, he
was compelled to resign.
AT the meeting of the people of Olmsted
county at the Court House last Saturday,
to take into consideration the best and
shortest way to make up the quota of Ohm.
sted county for the Sixth Regiment, the
mode embodied in the following resolution
was determined on, viz:
Resolved, That each town in the county be
required to furnish three recruits as their quota
of the ffty.eight to be raised by the county, or
in lieu thereof, fifteen dollars in money for each
recruit, and that the city of Rochester be re.
quired to raise nine men as her quota.
The apportionment among the towns is
right, but we think the acceptance of sum
of fifteen dollars in lieu of man, will prove
detrimental to the object in view. This is
proved by the same paper from which we
take the above (the Rochester POST. which
states that " the town of Cascade has ap~
propriated its share of the money which
each town is requested to raise, to offer as a
bounty to three volunteers from that town."
The harvest has commenced in Olmsted
county, and bountiful harvest it is destined
to be. Oats are mostly secured, and wheat
is being cut. The weather has been most
favorable for the ripening of crops for the
past week, and the prospect is fine for a
favorable harvest time. Without doubt q
much larger crop of grain will be gathered
in Omsted county than any previous year
and the prospect is now good for better
prices than during the past year.-Rochester
Post
Hon. Mr.. MACON, of Rice county, has
received authority to recruit for the Sixth

pose.

to the amount of one thousand persons. So
