A SOLDIER ROBBED OF HIS BOUNTY Mo-
NEY.-Daniel Kyes, formerly of the First, but
recently re-enlisted in the Fifth regiment,
on Monday, was drinking in company with
other soldiers, and, according to his story, had
his bounty, nearly $175, in his pocket. He
claims to have lost 300 of that amount some
time during the day, and now believes it was
stolen from him. Towards evening, after pay
ing for drinks in saloon on Third
street, he put the remainder of his mo-
ney, rolled up into wad, in his
pocket, the amount being about $5S, and with
his companions of the day went on up street.
1t appears that in their ramblings the party
came to the mouth of the sewer that comes out
from under the street on the bank opposite the
post Office Here Kyes' companions, two or
three in number, seized him, dragged him into
the sewer, and robbed him of the balance of his
money, and then ran out. He chased them,
and, by the aid of officer Heck, succeeded In
capturing one of them named Patrick Hen
bricks. On searching the prisoner he was found
in possession of wad of money answering, in
description and amount, to that taken from
Kyes. Hendricks was on Tuesday examined
on the charge of robbery, before Justice Nc
Elrath, ofthe Police Court, and bound over for
trial in the sum of $500. Failing to furnish
security he was sent to Jail.

Low WATER NAvIaATIoN.-The river,
continuing to fall, has reached lower stage
than at any previous time since the latter part
of the season of 1848. Even such light draft
boats as the Mollie Mohler and the G. II. Gray
rub the bottom for miles between this port and
Hastings. Newport bar is the worst above the
mouth of the St. Croix. and gives the most
trouble, on account of the necessity of cross
ing it at nearly right angles with the current
The bars at Kaposia, Red Rock, and in several
places below Newport are bad enough, but
they do not as yet trouble much the Gray and
the Mohler. The freight boats have harder
time of it, and only try to run by daylight. A
boat drawing more than seventeen inches of
water could not come at this time far above
Winona.
The Gray and the Mohler are the only reli-
ance for passengers and make daily trips to
connect with larger boats below Beef Slough.
They run with regularity that would hardly
be anticipated by one knowing how little water
they have to run on, and passengers on either
will find that, aided by the polite attentions
and guarded by the carefulness of their excel
lent officers. riding on these small boats in low
water time, is only pleasant variety after
trial of the railroads. The boats are not over.
crowded. but are doing good business.

EASTMAN, GIBSON " Co.'S. WCoLEN
MILL MISNEApoLrs.-We learn that this i'm
portant and much needed manufacturing estab-
lishment will be running early in October, the
work upon the building and the preparation of
the machinery having progressed so far as to
warrant an announcement Of the fact. The
merchants of Minnesota can rely upon procur-
ing wooden goods from Messrs Eastman, Glib
son & Co., and may probably govern them
selves accordingly in making Fall purchases.
The proprietors, besides purchasing the lat
est improved machinery for their wooden mill,
have engaged the best skilled and experienced
workmen they could find in the Eastern States,
and have made large purchases of wool, pre-.
paratory to the manufacture this fall of heavy
quantities of broadcloths, cassimeres, satti
netts, flnnels, blankets, yarns, and wooden
and cotton batting. We believe they have also
purchased knitting machines, and intend to
manufacture and keep on hand wooden stock
ings for the merchants.
The enterprise is one as much deserving OF
encouragement, for its prospective beneficial
influence upon the industrial interests of our
State, as any that could be named. 1t il espe-
cially worthy of notice at this time. when the
people are showing growing disposition to
prefer cloths. &C., of home manufacture, and
when every one can appreciate the difference
between an honest manufacture and shoddy.
If our leading merchants take hold of the
goods produced by this mill. as we have nr
doubt they will do, they will find the sale O
them profitable business, and other manufac
turers will be encouraged to start business IL
our State.
Tn two or three months from now many
more of our citizens can boast uf wearing
wooden goods manufactured in Minnesota from
Minnesota wool. 9

SPORTING ITEMs.-Sportsmen all over
the State are having good time among tie
chickens, and we have heard nearly every day
of some ones doing big days work. The
season brings almost the usual numbers of Wis
itors to our State to enjoy the prairie SHOOTING.
Among these stopping in the neighborhood of
St. Paul, is Mr.. T. r. Chaplain, an English
gentleman who brings with him from the old
country two fine bird dogs. Over one of these
dogs in about seveu hours, the other day, Mr.
Chaplain and Mr.. George Lynch brought down
one hundred chickens-enough to fill good
sized game bag or buggy.
One of the first-rate shots and jealous sports
men of our city lost mornings shooting the
other day in manner that he wouldn't let us
tell, if we gave his name. After an hour or
two of lively sport on the prairie he arrived
home at late hour in the evening, hitched his
horses before the door and sent message to
his stable man to take good care of the team
and have them ready for an early start in the
morning. Up early the next morning, our
friend looked out of the window and was no
little astonished and vexed to see his horses
standing where he had hitched them
the night before. The maid servant had
neglected to carry his message to the stable
The unlucky horses were soon carefully
groomed and eating their regular feed, and
their unlucky owner devoted his morning
hours to business.
The past two or three days have been so
very hot that careful men would not risk the
injury to their dogs likely to result
from working them in the sun, and the morn
ing and evening hour of cooler atmosphere
does not last long enough to get fairly engaged
and the dogs at work. Ell

OFFICE, 81. PAUL, Mimi,
Aug 3. 1864.
Citizens of many towns are complaining of
their enrolment on account of the retention of
names upon the lists, which are claimed should
be stricken off.
Ample notice has been given to the citizens
in all sub districts that duty rests up.n them
individually, to aid in this work of revision,
Enrolling officers have been appointed to per-
form this duty in detail, and every enrolled
man has been under obligation to himself and
to his neighbor to confer with the enrolling Of
ficer for his sub district, and furnish him with
all the information desirable to perfect the en-.
rollment of his town.
This has been in many cases entirely neglect
ed, until a late day.
The enrolment has been sent to Washing
ton, and orders have been issued from this of.
fee to proceed at once to make up the quota
from the enrolment as it now stands.
For the sake of justice and equality to all,
have asked for instructions from Gen. Fry,
Pro. Mar. Gen. at Washington, as to the pro-
priety of further extension of time in revising
the enrolment lists. and have received discre-
tionary power thus to act, but to take no &C.
ton that would interfere with the draft, which
was positively ordered on September 9th.
Itnow becomes plainly important to act at
once. Enrolling officers must be conferred
with by those interested, and if errors existS
they. should be corrected as far as possible by
these Enrolling officers, and all facts pertain
ing thereto be reported to the Board of En-
rollment of their District to aid them in max
ing the proper corrections. 1t must be borne
in mind that Enrolling officers have not discre-
tionary power, and cannot strike names from
the lists, but must report the facts for the &C
ton of this Board. In many instances the
Board can strike names from the lists, from the
remarks made against such names by the En-
rolling officers, but this must be in cases where
matters of fact exists, and not of Judgment In
all cases Of the latter, the person must appear
before the Board, and be examined
For the purpose herein named, have d.
rected that the formations of quotas of all
sub. Districts in the State be withheld until the
18th inst, upon which date said quotas must
be made, and will be announced as soon there
after as possible.
