The Heated Term.

The Eastern papers are all complaining
of the unprecedented heat of the last fort
night, and the fearful mortality thereby
oecasioned. In New York there was
never anything like it. The Ecenimg
Post, of Tuesday evening, says:
Nearly a thousand deaths occurred during
the week ending yesterday-or about two
thirds OF the average mortality of London,
which city has three times the population of
New York. Of the whole number Of nine hun
dred and seventy deaths here last week, more
than lve hundred were caused or accelerated
by the effects of the heat Eighty eight deaths
are reported by the City Inspector as the direct
effect of sun-strokes, and forty-six other cases
are attributed to "efects of the heat" Di.
arrh9a, dysentery, apoplexy and diseases of
infants account for the remainder.
The destruction of children by bad air, worse
food, and terrible heat, is unprecedented.
Five hundred and eleven children died in this
city last week. This is more than the average
of the whole weekly number of deaths here In
an ordinary season.
On Monday in New York, the mercury
ranged from eighty-six degrees above zero
at eleven A NJ, to ninety -four at three p. M
At Albany on Sunday at three P. M. the
thermometer showed ninety-three degrees:
in New Haven from ninety to ninety-eieht
according to position; in Hartford ninety
degrees and upwards; in Mont, cal. for =
week, the range was between eighty and
ninety the greater part of the time.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoTOMAO,
August 10, ls63.-The following procla-
nation has been issued by Gen. Meade:
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POToMAC,(
July Is, 1868.
The numerous depredations committed by
citizens, or rebel soldiers in disguise, harbored
and concealed by citizens along the Orange and
Alexandria Railroad, and within our lines, call
for prompt and exemplary punishment. Un-
der the instructions of the Government, there
fore, every citizen, where there is sufficient ev-
idenee of his having engaged in these practices,
will be arrested and confined for punishment,
or put beyond the lines. The people within
ten miles of the railroad are notified that they
will be held responsible in their persons and
property for any injury done to the road, trains,
depots or stations by citizens, guerrillas or
persons in disguise; and in case Of such injury,
they will be impressed as laborers to repair all
damages. If these measures should not stop
such depredations, it will become the unpleas.
ant duty of the undersigned, in the execution
of his instructions, to direct that the entire in
habitants of the district or country along the
erty taken for Government use. H
(Signed) GEO. G. MEADE,
Maj. Gen. Commanding.
The depredations having been continu-
ed, a number of citizens suspected or
known to be complicated in these trans
actions have been promptly arrested.

RETURN OF CAPT. BURTs EXPRDITION-CA
TURF OF LITTLE CROWS SON.

RETURN OF CAPT BURT's EXPKDITION-CAP-
TURF OF LITTLE CROWS son.
P.S. Since closing the above letter,
the Devils Lake expedition returned to
camp, and brought with it as trophy, a
son of Little Grow, the great Indian rebel.
There can be no question of the identity
of tie prisoner, since there are scouts and
soldiers (half breeds) in camp who are well
acquainted with him, and whom he recog-
nized. He was captured under the follow
ing circumstances: On the Goth ultimO,
Capt. Burt commanding the expedition,
had taken some four or five scouts, and
Company E, Nieut. P. s. Gardner, COM
manding) First Regiment M. N. R., and
advanced beyond the rest of the COM
mand about two or three miles, when in
crossing a valley, in which was small
lake, probably an arm of Devils Lake,
Private Oleson, of Company E, saw an
Indians head thrust up out of the grass,
about fifty yards to the right of the COM
pany, and informed Lieut. G. of it. Lieut..
G. supposing there might be other Indians
concealed in the grass, there quite high,
prepared his command for immediate fight,
and sent word to Capt Burt (who with
the scouts hail gone some distance ahead)
of the state of things. Capt. B. returned,
and sent an Indian scout who could speak
the Dakotah language, to reconnoiter, and,
if possible, to communicate with the In
dian or Indians, as the case might be.
The Indian, after some conversation with
the scouts, gave himself up, and proved to
be Wa-wi-nap-a, ("one that appeareth')
the tavorite son of Little Grow, and aged
sixteen years: young in years but old in
deviltry. The prisoner was almost dead
with fatigue and starvation. He had been
with his father on war party into Min
nesOta.
DEATH OF LITTLE CROW.
On the I'd ultimo, the father, while the
two were separated from the other In
dams, was killed near Hutchinson, MINI.
The son since that time had been strug-
Cling to get back to his friends, and had
Just secured and cooked wolf meat enough
to sustain him for days, so that he would
soon have been off. The prisoner is now
in camp, well secured, and improving fast,
and will soon be heavy enough to carry
out effectually any kind attentions which
the powers that be, may have for his fu-
Sure elevation.
The taking of this prisoner proves be-
yond question fact, the news of which
will be most welcome to the people of
Minnesota, the death of "Little Crow :"
and more particularly SO, since all have
felt that his death or capture would de-
stroy everything like unity among the sew

ss Half of our Own Slaves Fighting
Against Us.s'

The Raleigh On. o. Progress makes
confession of fear that must excite SEN
sation of terror in the hearts OF the higher
classes of southern society. That journal
says, that unless the offensive and invasive
policy be successfully prosecuted-which
is impossible-that in another year half
the slaves of the South will be fighting
against their masters That paper says:
Throw the whole army into two columns,
and let one enter Pennsylvania and the other
Ohio, and, be the result what it may, 1t cannot
be worse than will follow a continuance of the
defensive policy; for if we continue to conduct
the war upon our own soil we shall not only
have the armed legions of the North, in the
shape OF the Yankees themselves, to contend
against, but in another year they will have our
slaves fighting against us. At best the pros
pect is bad but let US, if possible, do what
fighting is to be done upon their own soil. and
not upon ours.

Capt. Ffsk's Expedition.

To relieve the anxiety Of those who
have friends in Capt. FIsK's expedition,
Col. MARSHALL requests us to state that,
in his opinion, the expedition is on route
that will not be infested by the Indians.
The Indians we're moving in southerly
direction, while Capt. FISK was moving
north-westward.

statement Of MIR. Bracket.

We left camp on the Oath at the usual
time, about five O'Clock A. n. The First
battalion, Minnesota Mounted Rangers in
the rear. Lieut.. Ambrose Freeman, COM
pany D, said to me several times that
whenever I had a chance to 60 to the
flank, he wanted to go with me. Soon as
I had my cattle started, I went to Capt.
Taylor and told him if he could spare
Captain Freeman, we wanted to go out
on the flank little way. left the main
column about two miles out from
camp, struck off to the left, went
on to a range of hills which was es-
timated to be about five miles from the
main column. Saw three scouts out about
the same distance. After getting there
we struck parallel course, and supposed
we were going in the same direction as
the main body. We watered our horses in
lake. Saw two other scouts on the OPP
posite side of the lake. We then went
still further on, over one range of bluffs,
