The Sioux in the British Red River
Settlement.
Col. 9Th MINI. Inf'Y Vols.

By the last mail we received two mum .
bers of the Fort Garry Nor Wester, and
in each are notices of the presence of
large numbers Of the Sioux, and appeals
to the authorities to have them removed.
Governors DALLAS and MACrAvIsH have
been striving to get them away, but with
out success. The Nor. Wester says:
The plan contemplated by the authorities for
their removal was to offer them a large guam
tity of provisions to be deliye cred, how
ever beyond the boundary line. The offer was
made, and, as we are informed, was for
while agreed to by the Sioux; but they now
refuse to leave on any terms, saying they will
only die yonder and may as well die here! In
deed, the Chiefs allege that they dare not order
their men to leave. Their language is" If
they will shoot u.s." In the circumstances, it is
difficult to know what to do; but we strongly
deprecate violent measures. Our best policy
is to exercise moderation and caution in dealing
with these Indians.
Our British cousins have evidently got
an elephant ON their hands, and do not
know what to DO with him. Major HATCH
would soon solve their dilemma, he could
obtain permission to cross the line. He
would remove them effectually, if the OPP
portunity was afforded him to do so, but
since that is withheld, we cannot say that
our sympathies are very much excited by
the Nor Weste'''s picture OF apprehended
starvation consequent on the ravenous ap-
petites of the red devils they have taken
to their bosoms, and are protecting against
the punishment they so richly deserve.

Effects of the War upon st. Pau

In a very lengthy review of the effects
of the war upon the Mississippi Valley,
written by THOMAS w. KNOX, one of the
correspondents of the Herald, we find the
following on the effect of the war upon St.
Paul:
Away up in 81. Paul. ut the head of naviga.
ton on the Mississippi, the rebellion had an
indirect rather than a direct effect. The war
made itself felt in taking for the army the
bone and sinew of the young State. In a new
and sparsely settled region the blood of every
man is SO much of the cOmmunity's vitality,
and can ill be spared. Though sadly needing
them at home, the Northwestern States poured
out their men profusely. They have done
gallant service, as the history of the war
will show. The local troubles in Min
nesota were to her of far more impor-
lance, and struck a heavier blow upon her
prosperity than was given by the rebellion.
The outbreak of the Sioux Indians, in which
hundreds of people were murdered, thousands
frightened away. and other thousands deferred
from coming, placed Minnesota several years
affects its chief city. Accordingly found St.
Paul in September of this year, in a condition
of semi-stagnation in her business channels
She had begun to recover from the effects of
the Indian troubles, but was by no means re-
stored. The trade with British America was
then at its height. The citizens were display
ing their enterprise in pushing forward O rail-
way towards the northern boundary of the
State. Apart from the drain Of men, ST. Paul
and the State of Minnesota appeared to have
suffered nothing from the rebellion.

Lees Army.

The New York Times "a Republican
papcr,) makes the following remarks on
Lees army, which sounds a little disloy-
dlish:
"We are now beginning to comprehend
the terrible significance of phrase which
has been in very frequent use for long
time-'the destruction of Lees army
How little the public realized the full i'm
port Of the words or of the thing. How
little they comprehend the havoc in our
our own army which the effort must cause.
Lees army was huge, strong compact,
fierce, ferocious mass. 1t was energised by
hate, hardened by experience, toughened
by time, and severely disciplined. 1t was
determined not to be destroyed. Last
week, however, we began to try it. A
week of fearful battles, and fearful de-
struction to both sides, is the resord.-
The work is by no means done yet. When
it is done, and in other years, we shall
begin to realize the magnitude of the
bloody labor we undertook.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The First, SEQ.

night from the White House. They left
to-day at noon for Harrisburg, about thir-

The Reserve have been in two heavy bat

fought their last battle within lew miles
of where they fought under the gallant
General Mccall at Mechanicsville.
On the 3Olh they were marching from
Hawes' store towards Meohanicsville, and

They at once commenced to throw up
breastworks, but had been there bat few

In the adjustments which are to follow

consistently be admitted.
The object of the war is to make per-

ments. This element Of slavery may be
considered practically destroyed in the
country, and it needs only your proposed
amendment of the Constitution, to make
its extinction complete.
With this extinction of slavery the par.
ty divisions created by it have also disap-
peared. And if in the history Of the coun-
try there has ever been q time which the
American people, without regard to ono
or another of the political divisions, were
called upon to give solemnly their voice
in o matter which involved the safety Of
the United States, it is assuredly the pres
ent time.
If the convention at Baltimore will
nominate any man whose past life jussides

son why there should be any division
among the really patriotic men Of the
