We have Received the following letter
from the Red River of the North. It
may prove interesting to some of our
readers:
FoRr ABERcRoMBIE, DIT, April Is, 1868.
By request of Captain Samuel Painter, 1 send
you a note of the rise and fall of the Red River
a. this place, from the first till the fourteenth
OF April prepared by him. The Captain left
here this morning at half past six for George
town to bring the steamer International to this
place. He was accompanied by Capt. Barrett's
company and one howitzer as an escort, and
James Cheever as pilot They made start
yesterday morning, but one of their four-mule
teame, which was loaded with ammunition,
provisions, &C., got into the river, drowning
one mule, and by the time they got things to-
gether it was too late to start that day. We
are having beautiful weather. There were three
and some say five buffaloes within half mile
of the Fort this afternoon. The boys are out
after them now. VIM. L. SMELL.

North WESTERN RAILRoAD.-The last
number of the New York Illustrated Ne,cs
has about one-fourth of its pages filled
with illustrations and descriptions of this
magnificent road. The officers connected
with it are gentlemen Of acknowledged
ability ard courteous and accommodating
in the highest degree, to every one whose
business leads them to have connection
with the line. The company has recently
erected range OF large and elegant shops
at Chicago, with new engine houses all
equipped with the finest machinery. There
is no doubt whatever, that it is one of the
most important lines of railway which has
ever been constructed in the North West.
Captain Mark Hendricks is the agent in
this city, and every one who knows him,
knows that his name is guarantee for
any enterprise with which he may be con-
nected.

FROM THE INDIAN CoUNTRY-Hon. Geo.
Morrison and Peter Roy, arrived in town
on Wednesday from Grow Wing. Mr..
Morrison informs us that the Chippewas
are all quiet and perfectly satisfied with
the treaty that has been formed Hole-n-
the-Day is also satisfied, but thinks that
he ought to have been consulted in the
matter, and regrets that he did not partici-
pate in the contamination Of He says
he was fearful that the whites were inimi-
cal to him and assigns that as reason for
not taking part in forming it. He says
that he thinks it is the best treaty that had
ever been made for the Chippewa nation.
He is expected in town to-day.

OUR ARMY CORRESPONDENTS.
LETTER FROM THE THIRD
REGIMENT.

10 the Edat0r OF the PtOneef:
COLUMBUS, Kentucky, April %, 1858.
The inevitable "quiet" which seems to
prevail where there should only be the
graphing vigor and rough frown of war, y
reigns supreme in this district The forces
now here consist of the 25th, 9th, 31st
and 34th Wisconsin regiments infantry,
and the 4th Missouri cavalry. The troops
are in good health. They were paid twelve
days ago up to March 1st. The Third
Minnesota, remaining still at Fort lehman,
has not been paid, and has pay due from
the 1st of November. 1t has been doing
hard work at Fort Holman, along with the
111th Illinois, making expeditions and for
tifying. The 111th Illinois will soon 60
to Paducah, and will probably be relieved
by cavalry.
A military commission and general court
martial are now in session here, and will
probably be occupied some weeks longer.
Capt. E. L. Baker, Capt. J. H. Swan, and
Lieut.. Devereux, of the Third, are mem.
bers of the court-martial.
The river has fallen good deal lately
which leaves the village of Columbus drier
and more wholesome. The weather is
warm and fruit trees are in blossom.
Experience has demonstrated that
it is much more economical to let
cavalry furnish their own horses and for
the government to pay for their use than
for the government itself to furnish them.
The I'd Illinois cavalry furnished their own
horses and the consequence is, that they
are now in excellent condition, while cav
airy which use government horses have
been supplied two Or three times and too
generally still have poor horses. This
demands attention Nevertheless, if Off
GERS do their duty and see that the men
take good care of their horses, a great
source Of expense and ineficiency of cav
airy might be avoided.
Scouts frequently bring in prisoners,
some of whom turn out to be guerrillas,
some only prisoners of war. On the 21st
of March, party of so cavalry under
command Of I'd Lieut.. Ira Smith, Illinois
cavalry, made quite haul down in Ten
nessee, not far from Duck river. During
the march, while East of Paris, Tennessee,
private S. J. Harrison, Company 8, I'd
Illinois cavalry, came up with mounted
butternut, who proved to be rebel be-
longing to the 31st Tennessee. On enqui-
ring bis business, he replied that he was
merely going to the next neighbors, point
ing to house, on an errand. Harrison
let him pass on, but soon noticed that he
increased his speed. He pursued and cap
tured him, after three mile chase at full
speed, during which he fred eight times,
wounding him and his horse. He had
about two hundred letters for Bragg's ar
my and few copies of the Chicago Times.
He has siace been tried before the militia
ry Commission, on the charge of being
q spy. The man who captured him is
fine young soldier, but not the slightest

one year, $50; and all new volunteers for
three years or during the war, S75 each.
The sum of So, 100000 or so much as may
be necessary, is appropriated, and tax of
two mills levied to meet the same.

OUR citizens seem 10 be getting pugna-
cious in this region latterly. Out of the
cases tried at the Police Court this spring,
it will be found that nine cut of ten have
been cases of assault and battery. We
see no way of accounting for this except
on the theory that we are being too highly
fed in this favored region, and require a
little blood-letting to subdue our pugna-
ciOus propensities.

ADAMS SOHooL.-We paid visit to this
institution on yesterday, and were very
much pleased with the proficiency display
ed by the scholars in the various depart
ments, under the able management of the
very efficient corps of teachers employed
There is one department, however, which
needs some reformation, and we hope the
Board of Education will attend to it. We
allude to the Lower Primary, under the
supervision of Miss Bray. In miserable
little by 9 shanty, badly ventilated, there
are ninety-one pupils, and the consequence
is that the teacher has to dismiss each
class according as they get through with
their examination, to make room for the
succeeding ones. This state of things
should not be allowed to exist. If the
school fund will not permit the expendi-
ture of sum of money sufficient to erect
an addition to the present school, capaci-
GUS enough to accommodate the increasing
number of scholars, some suitable build
ing should be hired in convene Mt local.
ty for that purpose.

FRU11s AND FLowERs. $50 the subject of
cultivating fruits and flowers, we would
wish to direct the attention Of our readers.
In proportion to the money and labor ex-
pended, there is nothing which affords so
much pleasure as good garden. While
building up for ourselves and our children
homes, we omit the indispensable articles
of fruit and flowers. Fruit trees and flow
ers do not cost much, and the labor of
training them is labor of love. The opin-
ion is quite prevalent that fruit trees will
not flourish here. We think-in fact, we
know-this opinion to be erroneous. The
trouble about this matter is, that fair
trial has not been given to the raising of
fruit people have become disheartened
at the failure Of one or two experiments,
which they made with trees grown in
different climate, and have come to the
conclusion that We cannot raise fruit here.
Now, this is altogether wrong. The expert
ment should be tried in every way, shape,
and form; and when everything fails, then
it may be time, but not until then, to say
that we cannot raise fruit in Minnesota.
We would urge our readers to improve
the present spring in adjoining and beauti-
flying their homes. Set out trees, that in
few years you may have fruit of your
own raising plant flowers to bloom
around your doors, giving an additional
charm to your dwellings-rear vines that
shall cluster around your threshold, and
weave over your homes drapery of ver-
dure more beautiful than art can devise.
A few hours pleasant work from time to
time will enable you to surround your
dwellings with many of those comforts to
which you have been accustomed in your
Eastern homes, and will engender in your
children a love for the beauties of nature,
which no other mode of training can ever
instil.
Again, we say, let every one who owns
or rents the spot of ground on which he
lives, beautify it by planting trees and
flowers, for ga thing of beauty is a Joy
forever"
