The Fur Trade of the Northwest.

The St. Paul (Minn. Press has long
review of the fur trade of the North
west, for the season just closed, from
which we clip the following state,
ment of the business Of St. Paul, which
is claimed to be the largest fur mar
ket in the country:
On hooking at the books ofour deal
ers, we find that three thousand five
hundred bison or buffaloes have fallen
victims to the arrow or the bullet on
our Northwestern prairies, to supply
civilized man with robes to keep him
warm while riding in winter. These
robes will always be standing arti
Gle for such purposes. They cost
about 81, raw. An equal number OF
wolves-which fact one hears with
pleasurc-have also bit the dust to
supply our fair countrywomen with
elegant sleigh robes, worth 50 each,
to keep out the biting air while gil.
ding over the SHOWS of our Northern
winters. The bruin family bewails
the loss of $50 of her ursine members.
These skins, costing from $40 to $40,
are also used for sleigh covers, and
for military purposes, as arc also | $50
skins ofthe red fox, worth about 50 so
The mink, now mcrcilessly pursued
since his pelt is worth from So, so to
IS, contributed $4,000 skins toward
those elegant nantes and cloaks that
every lady so covets. The muskrat
species arc prolific, and have given
us fully 100000 skins, worth 80 to 80
cents each. r" .... ..
OF the more rare and costly furs
2,25S offers have been captured from
their lacustrine retreats, and will soon
do duty in the shape Of gloves, &c, at
Sc to 81 per pelt, and GAO FISHERS
have been trapped, yielding the fortu'
nate hunter IS to $40. The marter
family, one much priced, lost l,60O
members, cnriching the trappcr at q

Important Indian Expedition.

Gen. Ramsey has succeeded in the
negotiation of a treaty with the Red
Lake and Pembina tribes of Chippe-
was, by which Uncle Sam adds about
10000 square miles to his farm, by
paying the Indians $4,000 in money
and goods for twenty years. $4,000
are to be appropriated to cutting a
road from Leach Lake to Red Lake.
$3.50 per annum out of the annuity
fund is to be paid to each of the Chiefs,
and $500 to each at the first payment,
to enable him to build house. Be-
sides this, 100 acres Of land is to be
given to each male adult half.breed
relative Of these tribes. 100000 is
to be set apart to pay for depredations
committed by these Indians, last year.
on the property and goods of British
and American merchants navigating
the Red river. The right of way
through Red river is also secured for
$4,000. This treaty gives us the
richest aud best portion Of that rich
tract Of land--the Valley of the Red
river Of the North.

We observe that life of the great
Southern hero has just been published
by Mr.. G. I. Evans, New York. The
author is Mr.. Markinfeld Addey, an
Englishman, who has been for several
years connected with the New York
press. The work embraces Jackson's
great military campaigns, beginning
with the Mexican war, and closing
with the battle Of Charlottesville,
where he was MORALLY wounded The
life OF such man cannot fail to be an
instructive one, pointing as it does in
unmistakable terms to the grand moral
lesson, that in whatever situation of
life, where there is concentration of
energies. although but ordinary talent,
it is sure to gain for him who adopts
that course honor and renown. With
out thorough devotion, rigid self
denial, in short, complete throwing
in of himself, body and soul as it were,
Jackson would never have entered the
Temple of Fame. This life is a terri
BILE fight, and he who will run the race
and seize the prize must be "Stone-
wall Jackson in his way, having
always one object i'm view, that of
making himself felt. We look forward
to perusal of this work with no or

time what little satisfaction "the pomp
and circumstance of war" bring to
the soldier at the final struggle, and
how little smooths

Their last raids in Virginia and Mary

foilcd in their objects. Even Wheel

poor job Of his recent attempt to de-
stroy Rosecrans' communications, and
has been driven back across the Ten

Burnside's department, has been even
less successful, and has been driven
out on double-quick without accom-
plishing anything. But the last fail

Shelby and his army of Marauders,
who started on an expedition to cut
off St. Louis from the West, capture
