Expedition to Lake Shetek,
From the Mankato Record.

FROM the NlankatO Record.
Ever since the return of the Indian expedi-
ton, Capt Duley and other former residents of
Lake Shetek, have labored to obtain small
military escort to accompany them to that
point, for the purpose of collecting the remains
of their relatives and friends massacred in
August, 1862, by the Indians, and remove them
to proper place of interment. Their request
was finally granted, and on the 9th of October
Messrs. Duley, Ireland, Smith and others,
escorted by 30 men Of Company M, Mounted
Rangers, Capt. Starkey, they started from the
stockade on the Big Cottonwood. They arrived
at the Lake on the Both, which is about 80 miles
due west of Mankato.
On the 3lst the remains of the mastered.
numbering twelve in all, were gathered to-
gether. They were deposited in good, SUBJ
stantial boxes, and buried at a point on the
lake between the former residences of Messrs.
Smith and Duly. A large grave was dug. and
collins were placed in line, commencing at
the south end, i'll the following order: Mr..
Andrew Cook Mrs. Ireland and the two chill
dren, Mrs. Everett, Mr.. John Eastlick. Mrs.
Smith and two Eastlick children, and lastly,
VIM. j. and Belle Duley, children of CAPTAIN
Duley. The spot where each body was in
TERED was appropriately marked with the name
and age of the deceased.
Lake Shetek was the extreme settlement on
our Southwestern border being eighty miles
west of MankatO. 1t was located in q beauti-
full and fertile section of country, with abuD-
dance OF timber 1t numbered in all about
forty or fifty men, women and children,
and ten houses. Each head of family had
from fifteen to twenty acres improved and
under cultivation, at the time of the massacre
Now the settlement is entirely deserted, ex-
cepting five trappers who are there tempora-
rily. The houses have been plundered of a
part of their contents, the fields grown up in
weeds, and part of the fencing destroyed by
prairie fires

A Pure judiciary.
In his forcible speech at the Cooper in
stitute, on Friday evening, Mr.. BRADY
made use of the following language:

In his forcible speech at the Cooper in
stitute, on Friday evening, Mr.. BRADY
made use of the following language:
Why, gentlemen, let me tell you, as one
who began the profession of the law at TWEEN
ty-One years of age such change has occur
red IN the administration of justice in this city
that when man walks into my Office with a
bundle OF papers, and says to me: Mr.. Brady,
here is an injunction granted to prevent my
carrying on my regular business" and, in one
of the very last cases that tried, there was an
injunction to prevent man from continuing
to act as the foreman and cutter in a merchant
tailoring establishment in this city-an injunc.
ton from Judge to prevent him from carry
ing on his lawful trade for the maintenance of
his family. How do you think received those
papers? When l first entered the profession,
would never have asked what Judge granted
it, but would have looked to the merits of
the case, and tried to tell my client what
thought. But, gentlemen, the question, be-
fore even looking at one word written upon
that paper, was What Judge granted this in
Junction. Next What Judge is to hear
this case?" And when that latter question is
answered, in many cases have handed the pa
pers back and told my friend, Il can be of no
service to you-you must employ such man,
between whom and the Judge, or Judges
partner, friend, agent or huckster, there exists
a great atfection-employ him and you will
have some chance to maintain your rights in
court of Justice" Is this any fancy picture? 1t
is the language of the most sober and dreadful
reality.
Is there in the city of New York bust
ness man who can look upon this fearful
picture of judicial degradation without a
shudder?

Riot in Pennsylvania Coal Mines.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6.-The Enquirer and
Bulletin of this city have reports Of terrible
riot in the coal region around Mauch Chunk.
Four men it is reported, were killed last even
ing, including Mr.. Smith, of the firm of Hull,
Corlis & Co., of this city. Gov. Curtin, it is
stated, has been telegraphed to for troops to
quell the disturbance.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov 6.-Thos. Hull, of the
firm of Hull, Smith & Corlis, has received a
dispatch from Summit, Penn, that George
Smith, of that firm. had been shot down by
the rioters. Mr.. Ulrch, storekeeper, was also
fired at by the rebels and wounded The re-
ports Of the Bulletin and Enquirer are thus con-
iirmed, of difficulties in the coal regions.
MAUCH CHUNK, Pa, Nov. 6.--Last night Mr..
y. IL. Smith, coal operator at Yorktown, Car

manner in his house in the presence of his
family, by gang of Irish outlaws, known as
Buckshos. Mr. Smith was loyal and highly
respected gentleman, and was suspected Of
giving certain information to the deputy pro.

upon the battlefield, and retired to place

of rest.
One incident occurred during his last
visit to Bragg which is worthy of mention.
That general took alarm in consequence of
his report, and at once started a special
messenger to Gen. John H. Morgan-w who
was then absent with his cavalry in Ken
lucky, to destroy Rosecrans' railroad COM
munication, in which Morgan succeeded
to return instantly with his command by
forced marches to Murfreesboro. That
same night our man reported this fact to
the Federal commander, described the
messenger and what route he would take,
etc. The information was telegraped at
once to Nashville, Gallatin, and Bowling
Green, and force was sent from each of
these posts to intercept the MESSENGER.
They failed to apprehend him, which,
however, proved of no consequence, as
the battles of Stone River were fought,
and Bragg was on his retreat from Muir
freesboro' by the time Morgan could have
received the orders.
Our spy was a brave man; yet during
the last three days of his service he was
most sensible of its peril. To pass be-
tween hostile lines in the lone hours of
the night-for he did not wait for daylight
to be halted by guerillas and scouts and
pickets, with guns aimed at him, and, f.
nally, to meet and satisfy the anxious,
keen-eyed, understanding rebel officers
as well as our own, was mental as well
as physical demand that could not long be
sustained. While proceeding upon his last
expedition, the author met the nameless
upon by-road. We halted our horses,
drew near and conversed few seconds.in
private, while our attendants and compan-
ions moved on. He was greatly exhaust
ed and soiled in appearance, his clothing
having been rained on and splashed by mud
dy water, caused by hard riding, and which
had dried upon him. He said he
was about to try it once more, and,
though he had done so often and so success
fully, yet he feared detection and it's sure
result-the bullet or the halter. He had
been unable mid the hurry and excitement,
to make some final disposition of his af-
fairs. He gave us last message to send
to his wife and children in case it became
necessary; and he also desired promise
most freely given-that we would at
tend to the settlement of his account with
our General for services recently render
ed. Thus concluding, he wrung our hand
most earnestly, and putting spurs to his
fresh and spirited animal, dashed off upon
his mission. Twenty-four hours after
ward we were relieved of our anxious f:re-
boding by his safe and successful return.
We have stated the price paid him for his
labors; it was well earned, and to our
cause profitable investment.
Such man may be nameless now, but
when the war is over, and when it's history
is written, his courage and self-sacri6ce
will not be forgotten.

The First Ship and Admiral of
the Rebel Navy--SharpsIlOo ting.

b. f. TAYLOR, Esq, of the Chicago
Journal, is writing interesting letters from
the Army of the Cumberland. From one
of his latest we clip the following about
the first ship and Admiral of the rebel
navy, and Renaissance of sharpshoot-
ing:

bearing the words, lin God we trust"-re-
wives the strange story of the rebel Colonel
who commanded it. Harry Maury, related to
the infamous Lieutenant of National Observa-
tory memory, was during, reckless SouthrOn
educated for the Navy, and only thoroughly
alive in exciting scenes of danger. He dashed
into Walkers Nicaragua Expedition, as if it
had been school-boy frolic, and his eccentric
achievements in capturing the revenue cutter

running her off to the West Indies, without
compass or pilot, and making his way back, as
he said, by the wake of the corKs he had play

before played the whale with the champagne,

and with what GOODNESS and accuracy they

ent as men become to human life they have
the most vivid and minute remembrance of the
first man they brought down with deliberate
aim; often noting, in the instant of time pre-
ceding the fatal shot, the fashion of features,
color OF eyes and hair, even the expression of
face, all painted in picture that shall last the
life out.

THE NAMELESS SPY,
How Bragg was Defeated at Stsne
EiVer.

FROM the Annals of the Army of the Cumberland
This man, says the author of the can
nals," went into and came out of Bragg's
army at Murfreesboro three times during
the week of the battles at Stone River
even dined at the table of Bragg and his
generals-brOught us correct information
as to the force and position of the rebel
army, and of the boasts Of its head Off
GERS He was the first to assure us posi-
lively that Bragg would fight at Stone
River, telling us OF that Generals boast
that "he would whip Rosecrans back to
Nashville fit cost him ten thousand men. ~
For the four days service thus rendered
by our spy, be was paid five thousand dol
lars by order of our general, and the au-
thor saw the money passed to him.
In 1862 there lived in the State of -
q Union man, with his wife and children
He was friend Of the Union and an anti
slavery man upon principle. After the
rebellion broke out, and when the ''South-
ern heart" had become fred, this man,
living in a strong pro-slavery region and
surrounded by opulent shareholders, his
own family connections and those of his
wife being also wealthy and bitter seces-
sionis.s, very prudently held his peace,
feeling his utter inability to stem the tide
of rebellion in his section. Thus, without
taclt admissions, or any direct action on
his part, the gentleman of whom we write
was classed by the people of his section as
a secessionist.
Circumstances occurred that year by
which this person was brought into con-
tact with a Federal commander in Ken
lucky, Gen. Nelson. Their meeting and
acquaintance was accidental. Mutual
Union sentiments begat personal sympathy
and friendship. Nelson wished certain
service performed in the rebel territory.
and he pursuaded the citizen to undertake
it, which the latter finally did as matter
OF duty, we are assured, rather than of
gain, for he made no charge for the SER
vice after its speedy and successful per-
Torrance. Soon after similar work was
necessary, and again was the citizen i'm
portuned, and he again consented, but not
considering himself as professional SPY,
During this or similar trip, and while
at Chattanooga, our man heard of the
sudden death of Gen. Nelson. He was
now at loss what to do. Finally, he
determined to return and report his bust
ness to Maj. Gen. Rosecrans, who had
assumed command of the Federal army
Thus resolved, he proceeded to finish bis
| mission. After ascertaining the position
I of military affairs at Chattanooga, be came

In the boat and spar shed great activity
is displayed. The pressure of work is so
great in the machinest department that
upon eight out of the fourteen vessels in
port for repairs the work has to be done
by contract.
The new gunboat on the stocks in the
small ship house is getting along finely,
and is nearly ready to receive her engines,
which she will get some time next month,
and will probably be ready for launching
early in December.
The Mount Vernon having received her
armament will be ready for sea in a few
days. The Wauchusett is also nearly
ready, and will soon receive her boilers,
which were taken out for repairs. The
repairs necessary on the Powhatan are
but slight, and she will soon sail to Join
the blockading squadron off Charleston,
which port she lett to bring the rebel iron
clad Atlanta here.
The work of converting the Galena into
an open gunboat is progressing rapidly,
the railroad iron plating having all been
taken off.-Philadelphia Inquirer.
