thus gives his idea of reorganization:

again. I'd bin to public dinner, and

nsa- Warm weather and hot suns are
now upon us, and We may expect more or
less of coup de soliel, or sunstroke, to toll
low. A person whose uncovered head is
exposed to the rays of a vertical sun IS
not unfrequently attacked with sort of
fit which sometimes bears resemblance
TO apop,exy, but at other times is more an
ordinary swoon. The proper remedy fer
an attack of this kind, during the prima-
ry fit, is tc pour cold water over the head.
This is the couse pursued by the natives
of India, who are particularly exposed to
the affection in question. 1t is said that
sunstroke may be avoided by wearing a
handkerchief or cloth soaked In water in
ones hat while exposed to the rays of
the sun.

n@- The rebel papers declare that Lee
is getting Grant where he wants him ;
that Grant is really retreating, and Lee
pursuing. This reminds us of the face
tious Iowa editor who got whaling in
his printing Office, and described it next
day-giving all the facts, but making
himself the hero. The narrative ran
thus: 'sThere was blow. Somebody
fell. We got up. Turning upon our
antagonist, we then succeeded in winding
his arms around our waist, and by quick
maneuyre threw him on top Of US, bring
ing our back at the same time, in contact
with the bed of the printing press. Then
inserting our nose between his teeth and
his hands in our hair, we had him."

Truth ADArrTED.-The Memphis Jackson
Atlanta Appeal! one of the most influential as
it is one of the most bitter rebel journals in
the South, says:
The accession of a conservative Democrat
like Mcclellan to the Presidency who would
conduct the war upon more humane principles
who would repe,l the emancipation proclama-
ton, and probably make overtures to the
South to return to the Union, with O guaran-
tee OF all constitutional rights. would do inf
nitely more TO paralyze the South and build
up q reconstruction party in our midst-a most
fatal calamity-than the combined efforts of
the present party in power.
This pregnant truth is recognized univer-
sally BY the southern people, and by more
than half the northern people, among whom
its recognition, general and deep as it is al
ready, is spreading and intensifying daily. In
the manifest development of this truth at the
North Mr. LINCOLN may read his fate at No
vember. His fate is certainly written therein
very legibly.

More madam Murders.
Elsewhere may Be found all the par

Elsewhere may be found all the par
tioulars yet received of an Indian raid
into Blue Blue Earth county, which has
resulted in the death of some of our citi-
zens. 1t is supposed that the raiding
party is small, probably not more than
twelve or fifteen in number, but before it
is driven off or exterminated, many OF
our settlers may lose their lives. The
country is thinly settled, and the savages
would have but little difficulty in accom-
Pills ling their bloody work before general
alarm was given. Vernon, the scene of
the murder of Mr.. Roor, is only about
twenty miles south of Mankato.
We learn that Gen. SlBIEY has ordered
Col. PFARNDER at Fort Ridgely to scour
the country in pursuit Of the Indians, and
has sent forty men from Fort Smelling to
Mankato, including twenty men of BRAoK-
RTTs veteran cavalry. Col. B. F. SMITH,
Of Mankato has been directed by the Gov
ernor to organize two companies of mount.
ed minute men to act in concert with the
United States forces, and to follow and
slaughter every savage that places his foot
in Minnesota. ..... -.........

Words of Truth and SOberness
from a Republican Senator.

We call attention of every reader to the calm
and able speech published elsewhere, delivered
by Senator CowAN, of Pennsylvania, In the
United States Senate, on the 9th of June, a
few days before the close OF the late session,
when that body had under consideration Mr..
TRuMBUu.'s amendment repeating the joint
resolution of July H. 1862. which qualities the
confiscation act and limits forfeitures under it
to the life Of the offender. Mr.. COwAN is q
patriot and scholar as wen as distinguished
member of the Republican party, and his words
cannot fail to have weight with all who peruse
them. Nothing can be palmer than his dem
onstration that the course of the Administra-
ton has been such as to unite and embitter the
South, while it distracted and divided the
North, and if any one, after attentively weigh
ing his argument, can satisfy himself that it is
possible for Mr.. LINCOLN to save the Union
and give the country peace and national integ-
rity, we fail to see the process by which such a
conclusion is reached.

The Indian Expedition.

Col. THOMAS, commanding the Mime
sofa Brigade Of Gen. SULLY's Indian Ex-
petition, writes to Gen. SHELLEY, from
Fort Rice, on the Missouri River, under
date of the 18th ult., saying that the Ex-
petition would leave the Fort on the morn
ing of the 10th ult., and march in a south
westerly direction for Rainy Buttes, where
it was expected, would be found camp
of 400 lodges Of Sioux Indians. From
the Rainy Buttes it was supposed that
the Expedition would march for Powder
River, where it is believed large camp
of Indians will be found and big fight
may be expected. 1t was also Colonel
THOMAS opinion that no further oppor-
tunities for writing home would be given
for two months at least after leaving Fort
Rice. .... -.... ..u-j.,.
