The Government having borrowed large

RENDEZVOUS of the Third Regiment
Its Payment and Destination.


Brigadier General SIB1EY has issued an
order for companies A, B, F, H and l, of
the Third Regiment to rendezvous at Fort
Smelling, and companies G, D, E, G, and
X, at Winona, on or before the 10th of
January, preparatory to moving South.
On Wednesday last, as appears from
Senator WIK1NsoN's telegram to the Go
vernon, $4,000 were sent from Washing
ton to the Paymaster here, to complete the
payment of the regiment, so that all four
companies can be paid before leaving the
State.
We learn that earnest efforts have been
made to have this regiment supplied with
Springfield rifles, and also to have it sent
as near to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, as any
Federal rtoops are needed. We have no
doubt it would create great enthusiasm
among the men to have chance at the re-
bells before they get out of Murfreesboro
In regard to arms, there are peculiar
reasons why the gallant men of the Third
should be supplied with those of the first
class. For the first three months
they were in service they had to
use worthless article, called Belgian
muskets, which were proverbial in the west
ern army as being more dangerous to the
men using them than to the enemy. Then
when they came to fight the battle Of Wood
Lakeland we say it with feelings of the
deepest indignation-their arms were not
so good as the Indians had. As they have
no arms, and are to be supplied with new
ones, we invoke the aid Of our Congress
sional delegation in procuring them those
of the first class. There is no doubt our
members of Congress can get this done if
they try.
The people of Minnesota Of course feel a
deep interest in the success and fame Of
the Third Regiment. It's peculiar history
has made it well and widely known, and
whatever it does in the future for honor or
dishonor, will be watched and remembered
by the whole country. Hence it is that
its conduct will be of the highest import
ance to our State. We know enough OF
the valor of the men to be sure that they
will reflect the most brilliant honor upon
Minnesota, as soon as an opportunity is
afforded them. The Third Regiment will
come together on the 10th of January,
than ever before.

Jail I'm Henderson Destroyed-TwO
Soldiers Burnt to Death.

The miserable pen, known as the Coun-
ty Jail of Sibley county, was burnt on
Monday night last. The only inmates,
two soldiers of the Red Wing company
Go. D, 18th regiment, persisted in the
flames. The keys of the Jail could not be
found until too late to save them. Their
names We're FEssENDEN and BONNER. Much
feeling exists in the town on account ofthe
trivial nature of the offence for which
these men were incarcerated, and by which
they have met such horrible death.

On Monday Gov. RAMSEY telegraphed
to Washington, to obtain transfer of
5000, from one of the pay departments
to another in this city, for the purpose of
paying the Third Regiment. Senator
WILKINSON replied by telegraph, dated the
Oath, that the Government would not con-
sent to transfer of funds, but had that
day forwarded the amount-$25, 0O0-ne-
cessary to pay the Third Regiment in full
to the first day OF November. This money
will be on hand about the first of January,
SO that our good soldiers of the Third can
go on their way rejoicing.

PREPARATIONS FOR DEATH
T HE EXECUTION.


MANKATo, Friday Evening, Dec. 26.
We arrived at Mankato early this morn
ing. All along the Valley we found great
excitement existing in reference to the
execution of the convicted Sioux murderers,
who were sentenced to expiate their awful
crimes upon the gallows to-day. Every
community in the whole Western part of
the State had its representative on the
ground this morning, and from the nearer
ones, there were hundreds present. We
saw none Of the indications of mere idle
curiosity, which commonly stimulate the
gathering of crowds to witness an execu-
ton; but, in the place of that, there was
desire to be present, from a sense of
duty, to witness the death of a portion of
horde of savage fiends who had desc
lated whole frontier, and to give counte-
nance by their presence, to the justice of
the sentence Of the Military Court which
condemned them, and of the confrmatory
sentence of the President
Before narrating the incidents of the
day, we have thought it might be interest
ing to give description of the preceding
events, covering the preparations made,
the official orders promulgated, and the
statements and confessions of the con-
demned, that the whole account of this
most remarkable event in the history of
our State, might be presented in consecu-
tive order. And with reference to these,
we beg to acknowledge our obligations to
the editor of the Mankato Record, for his
courtesy in furnishing us proot-sheets of
the documents given, thus saving us the
trouble of transcribing them, and ena-
bling us to place this narrative before our
readers in full and at an early date.
Beginning with the present week, we
find the first order to be one

READING OF THE DEATH WARRANT.

READING OF THE DEATH WARRANT.
On Monday last the thirty nine Indians
sentenced by the President were selected
out and confined in an apartment separate
and distinct from the other Indians.
About half-past two o'clock, COL Miller,
accompanied by his staff officers, ministers,
and few others, visited them in their cell
for the purpose of reading to them the
Presidents approval Of their sentence, and
the order for their execution.
Rev. Mr.. Riggs acted as interpreter, and
through him Col. Miller addressed the pris-
Oners in substance as follows:
The commanding officer at this place has
called to speak to you upon very serious sub
]ect this afternoon. Your Great Father at
Washington, after carefully reading what the
witnesses have testified in your several trials,
has come to the conclusion that you have each
ing his white children; and for this reason he
has directed that you each be hanged by the
neck until you are dead, on next Friday; and
that order will be carried into effect on that day.
at ten o'clock in the forenoon.
Good ministers-both Catholic and Protestant
are here, from amongst whom each of you
can select your spiritual adviser, who will be
permitted to commune with you constantly
during the four days that you are yet to live.
The Colonel then instructed Adjutant
Arnold to read to them in English the let
ter of President Lincoln, which in sub
stance orders that thirty-nine prisoners,
whose names are given, shall be executed
at the time above stated. Rev. Mr.. Riggs
then read the letter in the Dakota Ian
guage. M
The Colonel furtherinstructed Mr. Riggs
to tell them that they have sinned so
against their fellow-men that there is no
hope OF clemency except in the mercy of
