more than natural that much interest should be
felt with regard to tina nomination that will be
made by that body for Governor.
The selection Of the best and most suitable
men, on the basis Of loyalty to the Union, ir
respective Of old party ties, should be the par
amount object Of that body. Justice to the
different sections of the State should also be
kept in mine by the delegates, from all parts
OF the State. The claims Of the Hon. H. NJ :.
Rice, by his friends, have been discussed in
var varions parts of the State. Knowing his 10y;
his sentiments with the Republican Union plat
form, We, of course, could interpose no ob)ec
tions, should that convention see fit to put him
in nomination. Yet, inasmuch, as the country
north Of St. Anthony has heretofore been Ut
terly discarded by the Republican party in it's
nominations, we see no reason why its claims
should be totally ignored. Col. Stephen Mil
Ter: according to the tenor Of all the loyal pa
pcrs published in the Northern part of the
State, is the choice Of the people Of that sec
ton for Governor, and as simple act of ,us-
tice to them, his nomination should be made
unanimously by the convention, providing,
however, shat Hon. II. NJ. Rice should decline
to submit his name before the convention in
correction with that office, which probably
will be the case.
With this Endorsement of our political
course for the last three years, we are en-
tirely content, and shall ever look bacl
with proud satisfaction 10 the fact. that wher
our country was threatened with destruc
tion from domestic rebellion, we were abl,
to ignore all such petty considerations a!
party, and strive to unite our fellow mel
OH one common platform of devotion to tn,
the Union. Who the nominees Of the con
vention will be, it is, of course, impossible
to say. Even now; there is much wire pul
ling among selfish Ward politicians, ant
some Of them may succeed in securin,
nominations; but We believe the spirit o
the delegation from this State is such that a
a general thing good men will be nomina
ted. Hon. II. NJ. Rice. and his Excellence
Il. A. Swift, present acting Governor, hav
both signi6ed their determination not to b
candidates. The next most prominent can
didate is Col. Stephen Miller, Of St. Cloud
than whom more patriotic man does no
exist.

weuld have been followed still farther. and
utterly exter1ninated, but the troops and
horses were utterly exhausted, and but ten
days rations remained, with which to get
to camp Atcheson.
The Indians in their route abandoned
everything that impeded their progress. All
their buffalo skins, which they had pre-
pared for clothing, and tuns of pemican and
dried buffalo meat was abandoned, and by
our soldiers destroyed, leaving them with
tho certain prospects of starvation staring
them in the face.
1t would have been mercy to them to
have killed them all on the. ground and
for rhumanity's sake We wish such had been
their fate; but we cannot regret when we
remember their barbarity, their treachery
and the constant danger to which our own
people would otherwise be exposed, tina,
they must be exterminated even by tn.
process of starvation and cold.
| We lost, in killed and wounded, seven
The Indian loss was at least $50. Over forty
bodies were found by our men, and the well
known custom Of the Indian, of carrying of
all their killed aad wounded, justities tho
belief that at least the number above stated
felt the power Of our arms. Our settler
may now feel safe.
The late frequent reports of Indians i,
our midst; was from the fact that Littl

riors came down on thieving expedition
