We make the following extract from a
private letter dated Pembina, 14th inst.
Father Andre, the Sioux Commissioner, is
doing good service towards bringing this war
to an end He has just returned from a visit
to Devils Lake, where most of the upper tribe
of Sioux are camped under the leadership of
Standing Buffalo. They appear to be very anx-
ious to surrender and are going to send some
messengers to confer with Major Hatch. 1t is
reported that the Cree and Assinniboin tribes
OF Indians are going out to fight the Sioux,
and it so it may make a more favorable turn
between the military authorities and the Sioux.
and tend to closing of the Indian war. Two
Indian agents have just come in from the
headwatcrs of the Yellowstone river on the
Missouri, and are in consultation with Major
Hatch. Their object is Dot vet known
The weather is beautiful. clear. bat cool, and
every few days we are blessed with beautiful
vision in the shape of mirage bringing the

forty miles around close up to us and has the
appearance that any object does On a body OF

all its beauty you have to c3me north. Little

A TRIBUTE TO LOYAL WOMEN.


At the close of tie Patent Office Fair in
Washington last week, Mr. LINCOLN, in an
swer to loud and continuous calls, made
the following remarks:
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN | appear, to
say but word. This extraordinary war
IN which we are engaged falls heavily upon
all classes of people, but the most heavily
upon the soldier. For it has been said, all
that man hath will he give for his life;
and while all contribute of their substance,
the soldier puts his life at stake. and often
yields it up in his country's cause The
highest merit, then, is due to the soldier.
[Cheers
In this extraordinary war extraordinary
Developments have manifested themselves.
such as have not been seen in former wars.
and among these manifestations nothing
has been more remarkable than these fairs
for the relief of suffering soldiers and their
families. And the chief agents in these
fairs are the women of America. TCheers
am not accustomed to the use of the
language of eulogy have never studied
the art of paying compliments to women.
but must say that if all that has been said
by orators and poets since the creation Of
the world in praise OF women were annlied
to the women of America, it would not do
them justice for their conduct during this
war. | will close by saying, God bless the
women OF America! [Great applause. I

A Sensible View of the "Great
Question: by Philosophical
Old Darkcy Of Missouri.

A friend has placed in our hands the ar
nexed letter recently received by young
negro girl in his employ, from her aged
father, slave, in Missouri. The girl came
to this place last summer, aud this is the
first letter she had received from any of
her relatives in servitude. We recommend
the old darkey's letter as simple and
comprehensive statement of some of the
practical views involved in the great ques-
lions OF the day The "fine old colored
gentleman's stiff opposition to miscegen-
alton may surprise some that repugnance
should come from that quarter. From his
seeming financial prosperity it would also
appear that he would he better off if the
"poor white trash =" would let him alone
and his unwillingness to settle among the
Yankees of the North might make him an
object of solicitude to some advocates If
emigration. I4
We have to add that the letter is eenu.
