From Europe.

The iusurrection in Poland is assn.
ming larger dimensions, and pro-
visional Government has been estab-
lished. In Warsaw an attempt has
been made to poison the Marquis Wi.
elopolski, the intimate counselor OF
Grand Duke Constantine, and his
family, but no one of the family had
died yet. 1t is reported that the Rus
sian Government has rescinded the or.
der respecting CONSUMPTION in Poland,
which led tn the outbreak of the rev.
oluton. The latest dispatches re-
ceived at Queenstown report that the
town of Wengrow had been taken
from the Poles by the Russians. The
people of Cochin China have again
risen against the French, and some
severe fighting had taken place. Spain
has been asked again to take part in
the war, but refused. The British
Parliment has been re-opened by a
Queens speech, which announces that
England does not intend to join France
in her offer of mediation in America.
The speeches of the leaders of the
conservative party showed less bostil-
ty to the American Government than
was expected. The Prince of Wales
took his seat in the House of Lords.

The Minnesota Indian Savages.

Mrs. Jane G.. Swisshelm recently
addressed public meeting in New
York, in which she demanded Of Mr..
Lincoln's Administration that it cease
to treat the Minnesota Indians as pris-
oners of war that it cease to recog-
nize the right of any portion of the
people under its jurisdiction to make
war on any other portion. She de-
manded, in the name of Minnesota, the
repeal of all laws recognizing or es.
tablishing foreign governments in her
midst. She closed speech Of un.
common power and courage with the
avowal, Minnesota will never make
peace with rebels, neither will she
with their allies, the Sioux Indians.
Whenever they get out from Uncle
SamuePs wing we will hunt them,
shoot them, set traps for them, put
out poisoned bait for them, kill them
by every means We would use to ex-
terminate panthcrs. We cannot
breathe the same air with these demon
violaters Of women, crucifers of in
fants. Every Minnesota man who
has soul, and can get rifle, will
go to shooting Indians, and he who
hesitates will be blackballed by every
Minnesota woman, and posted as a
coward in every Minnesota house,

Defence of a River Steamer.

A despatch dated at Cairo, Feb. rs,
says that the steamer Belle Memphis
arrived there on the previous evening
from Memphis, having left that place
on the afternoon Of the 23d. On her
way up, at Cottonwood Bend, the
Belle Memphis was hailed by parties
pretending to have some cotton they
desired shipped to St. Louis. 1t was
about 10 o'clock at night. Captain
Tousely ordered the boat to make the
landing, when an attack was immedi-
ately made by ten or twelve guerillas
concealed on shore. They boarded
the boat and held pistols to the heads
of the pilot and engineer and ordered
them ashore. They were not obeyed,
when the captain and few passen-
gers pitched in with revolvers and
muskets and drove them of, killing
the leader and the decoy of the gang,
and wounding others. One man on
our side was hit by the rebels in the
thigh and perhaps seriously wounded.
Then the steamer was run from the
shore amid shots from the guerillas
The captain, taking the wheel, with
the aid of some river men on board,
arrived here safely. Had there not
been panic OH board the Belle Mem
phis, doubtless the entire gang might
have been captured. 1t is said Cap
tain Tousely killed the guerilla with
bis own hands by whom he had been
induced to land. Had the rebels had
cannon the steamer must have been
lost with many valuable lives.

The New Postal Bill.

The postal bill which had passed
the Senate has since passed the House,
but not till after many Of its objec
tionable features had been stricken
ont of it, and some important amend
ments made. The sections providing
for the compensation Of Postmasters
by salary instead of commissions,
were stricken out upon the represen-
tations of Mr.. Colfax, who was over
ruled on the point in his committee.
This was we'll, but the Senate by pro-
viding certain rates on all postal mat.
ter had unwittiDgly abolished the
franking privilege, and the House was
swift to correct this error An amend
ment was, however, made, limiting the
franking privilege as follows : 1t is
taken away from Postmasters who
are receiving less than 5000 year.
Persons not in official positions and
corresponding on official business are
hereafter required to pay the postage
of all their letters, except those to
Members of Congress. This provis-
ion will. it is thought, greatly diminish
the correspondence of the President
and his ministers. Drop letters pay
one cent as at present, where there is
no carrier system. Where there is
one, two cents, and delivery is free.
The Amendment to the House bill en-
abling soldiers to send their letters
free will probably be stricken out by
the Senate. The provisions for uni.
form rate Of postage on letters and
papers are retained. 1t is not yet
known whether the Senate has agreed
to the House amendments or not.

A recruiting officer from the 4th
Iowa regiment went to Winterset,
Madison county, few days since, to
enlist volunteers for that regiment |;
but no sooner had he made known his
business than Knights of the Golden
Circle threatened him with violence if
he persisted. He hung out the Ameri-
can flag and remained one day, but
the opposition to his efforts became
SO bold and menacing that he deemed
it prudent to leave the place. He is
now in consultation with the Govern
or at Iowa City, and we shall soon
know whether secesh organiza ton
of armed traitors can override Fede-
raj authority under the very shadow
of the capitol of free State.

From Washington.

The new financial measures recent
! ly enacted by Congress substantially
place everything in Mr.. Chase's hands.
He carried his point fully as to the
legal tenders, there being literally
but fifty millions more authorized, on
which number all parties had long
ago agreed. There are but two hun
dred millions of currency, and the
hudred millions legal tenders voted
sometime ago to pay the army. He
has power, if he SO chooses, to throw
into circulation seven hundred mill
ions more, as follows Four hundred
millions interest bearing Treasury
notes, which he may make convertible,
and for the redemption of which he
may provide reserve fund of legal
tenders, and three hundred millions
bonds authorized in the National
Banking bill and to be used as the
basis for at least that much more
currency.
Loyal men throughout the country
will rejoice that the House of Repre-
scntatves has passed the Senate
CONSUMPTION Bill 10y the decisive vote
of lis Yeas to 40 Nays. The bill
went through substantially as it came
from the Senate. We note the follow
ing amendments The time of service
of the conscripts is not to exceed the
duration of the Rebellion. Provision
is made for the trial of spies by
court-martial or military commission,
and they are to suffer death on con-
viction. Cases of arrest by Provost
Marshals for reasonable practices are
to be turned over at once to the civil

Mr.. Sumner, from the Committee on

sion of conspiracy to establish q

PATENT WEATHER SrRIp.-Mr. James
Walstow was in this place last week
introducing Gridley's Patent Weather
Strip-an invention for closing the
crevice at the bottom of door so as
keep out the rain, snow and cold.
The Strip" is an Iron Plate, and
may be readily adapted to both doors
and windows. The price per door or
window, when put on, is $l,00. 1t is
the simplest and best invention of the
kind we have seen, there being no
spring, hinge. or catch about il.
Mr.. Walston is prepared to sell coun-
ty rights in Northern Iowa to such as
may wish to purchase. There is no
doubt that money can be made by the
introduction and sale of this inven-
tion. Address James Walstow, Hud-
son, St. Croix county, Wisconsin.
