Manufactures in Minnesota.

Statistics of manufactures at Min.
neapolis and st. Anthony show that
about 81 500, 900 are already invested
in manufactures at those places. One
hundred large saw-mills there employ
over three hundred hands and in TWEEN.
ty-four hours make sixty thousand
feet of lumber. Most Of the logs
come from the pineries on Rum river
ten miles above the falls. Common
lumber sells at the mills for $l6 y NJ
One woollen factory is making seven
hundred yards per day. and another
factory will be in operation in few
weeks. Pals and tubs are manufac.
iured every week by thousands. The
Touring mills make four hundred bar
rels Of flour per day, and a paper mill
there makes four thousand pounds o.
paper per day. This is pretty fair foI
a beginning. Within a few years th'
amount of manufacturing at the Fall.
of st. Anthony will exceed that of any
other place in the United States.

Next morning, twelve miles north of
Fairview, a whole family, occupying
temporary shanty, were swept
away. They are as follows: John
Given, Senior, aged IS; Eliza Given,
40; John Given, Junior, 10; Mary,
9; Anna, 5 4; and Martha, 3. The ia
Their, mother and son were first dis
patched. The father was shot through
the chest and tomahawked in the fore
head the mother was shot through
the head under the ear, and tomahawk.
ed in the mouth the son was shot
through the chest, left arm and left
leg, and a finger Of the left hand was
almost cut of. Il.
Two men, Charles Brown and Chas.
w. Leah, were sleeping in q wagon.
box in the shanty. They say that
four Indians did the first shooting.
After the three elder Givens were
shot, Brown and Leah leaped out of
the wagon-box, when the Indians ran
away. The two men then ran to the
willows, and were shot at nearly a
score of times by the Indians. Being
so hard pressed, Brown and Leah
could not return TO the shanty. The
Indians entered it again. and then it
was that Mrs. Given was finished
with the tomahawk. The little girls,
crying over their parents, were next
dispatched-one being shot in the
face, another in the lower part of the
body, and third tomahawked in the
face. The Indians took the -four,
axes. guns, etc., from the shanty, and
drove off 100 to 200 head of stock,
horses and the best of the cattle. At
ter the Indians had withdrawn, one
of the men in the willows ran to the
nearest settlement and gave the alarm.
Black Hawk, it was reported. had
been in the neighborhood of the catas-
trophe the night before.
On the 25th David H. Jones, while,
hunting horses three miles northwest
of Fairview, was killed by the savag-
es. A few days since ninety Of the
settlers started after the Indians.

Said Board shall keep an accu-

pose, of all accounts presented to them,
a memorandum Of the evidence in said
case, and the reasons for the admis.

Whenever the Commissioners shall
allow any claim under the provisions
of this act, they shall indorse on the
back thereof that the same was exam

their names thereto, with the time

claim SO examined and allowed, when
presented to the Auditor of the State
of Iowa, will cntitle the holder there
OF to warrant on the War and De-
Tense Fund, and no other, for the
amount Of such claim"
This system the auditing Commits
sioners followed strictly until some
time in November, 1861, when the De-
partment at Washington forwarded
forms and instructions they desired to
be carried out by the Iowa authori-
ties. This. of course, was too late for
the bulk of the claims. w.
After full consultation with Mr.. At
kinson, the Third Auditor of the Uni.
ted States Treasury, the State for
warded the following additional evil
dence
/. A certificate by the Auditor of
the State of Iowa that warrant was
actually issued upon the State Treasu-

III. The certificate of the State
Treasurer that each and all of said
warrants were actually paid and re-
deemed. Mr.. Atkinson expressed
himself very favorably impressed
with the claims, and gave the Chief
Commissioner to understand that the
furnished evidence was sufficient and
satisfactory. During the present year
the late President Lincoln expressed
himself in a similar manner to Gov.
Stone, and desired the Secretary OF
the Treasury to construe the techni-
cal rules Of the Office literally.
These claims have passed the in.
spection and sanction Of a court of re.
cord and the payment of the sums
claimed, sworn to by both the State
Auditor and Treasurer yet, be-
cause there are not exhibited formal
receipts from payecs. the claim is re-
fused, evidence it is now impossible
to produce, from the lapse of time
which has transpired siuce the trans.
action and the date Of the order from
the Department requiring it. The
people of this State are satisfied that
tine claim is just, and that Congress
will grant all that is claimed there is
no question.

STATE NOMINATIONS.
Criminal Trials.

An adjourned term Of the District
Court was held in Butler county last
week for the purpose of trying seve.
raj criminal cases. The alleged crimi-
nails had taken change of venue
from the counties where the crimes
were committed to Butler county.
1t will be recollected that three
persons were arrested and held for tri.
al for robbing the Buchanan county
treasury, viz: VIM. H. Knight, Chris
tian A. Rohrbaclcr and Wallace r.
Pollard. Knight was convicted in
Judge Burt's court, 9th District. and
sentenced to the penitentiary for six
years Rohrbacher was convicted in
Judge FairieId's court at Waverly, a
few weeks ago, and given six years in
the penitentiary /; Pollard was acquit-
ted last week, in the Butler county
court, Judge Fairfield presiding. Had
Pollard been tried with his confede-
rates, and by the same jury, there is
no doubt that he would have been con-
victcd but, taken alone. the testimo-
ny bearing directly upon him was not
found strong enough to convict him !;
and yet he was undoubtedly an ac-
complete.
The robbers of the Mitchell county
treasury, VIM. H. Kelly and Samuel
T. Mitchell, had also taken change
Of venue to Butler comfy. Both
these men withdrew their former plea
of not guilty" and entered plea of
guilty" The Court sentenced them
to term of two and half years in
the penitentiary. The indictment al.
legged that they had robbed the Mitch.
ell county treasurer's safe Of 50, $50.
They had, however, turned out proper.
ty and refunded money sufficient to
cover this amount, SO that IN Tact mel.
Their the county nor the treasurer has
suffered any loss.
Several jurors subpenaed to serve
at this term Of the Butler county court,
were fined for non.attendance or for
not answering when their names were
called, and were compelled to serve
without pay. .. So

Barnum's Museum Burned.

A most disastrous conhagration Wis
tied New York city on the 18th inst,
completely destroying Barnum's Mu-
scum with all its valuable contents,
and nineteen other buildings on Broad,
way, Ann and Fulton streets. The
fire broke out near boiler in the base.
ment of the Museum. The loss is
over million dollars, upon which
there is insurance to the amount OF
half million. The proprietors and
employees of the Museum are thor
oughly convinced that the fire was the
work of an incendisry. The fire was
first discovered in the basement, and
on Immediately running to the roof to
turn on the water from the large tank
the flames were discovered bursting
out on the second floor, on the third
near the stage, and on the top floor.
The treasurer, Mr.. Tiffany, who had
gone to the roof to throw on water,
found his exit cut of, and was obliged
to descend from the upper window by
leaping to the balcony below. Re-
turning to his Office he took S. 900 in
Government bonds out Of his safe and
left the building. The manager had
lately received an anonymous letter
containing threats of burning the
building on account, it is supposed, Of
the play of "Jeff. in Petticoats.'
Among the works of art saved at the
Museum, was the Greek Slave, TWEEN.
ty-four gigantic pictures illustrating
Washingtou's battles, painted by John
McNevin, which were soon to be ex-
hibited as panorama. Fortunately
they had not yet been taken into the
building.

NEW YORK, July 9Th, 1865.
FRIEND HILDRErH - Change. oh
change! Thou art indeed written in
every leaf of Times great book of ex-
perience, in the history Of nations and
in the stories of men. What an end
less series of important events have
been compressed within the niche of
one short year. Fourth Of July. 1864,
presented in this country two specta-
cles. One, the black ship of Jefferson
Davis plunging headlong in high Gu.
resr through the crimson waters of
piracy, cruelty and wholesale murder,
carrying at its masthead the unholy
and bloody banner Of revolt against
the most liberal, humane and just
government that ever blessed this
earth; and having for it's expressed
and universal object, the erection of
that monstrosity in the group of ma
tons, government which would
acknowledge the iniquitous wrong
of human slavery for its chief corner
stone. The other was the grand old
ark which freedom rescued from the
engulphing seas of British despotism
and tyranny during the revolutionary
deluge and storms of l776, rent, torn,
betrayed and struggling against the
most formidable winds and darkest
tempest riding slowly, yet reaching
surely the promontory headlands of
human rights aud human liberties, al
though everywhere -assailed and fred
into by bloated European aristocracy
and American confederated treason.
Then victory. at the best, stood trem-
bling in a balance.

forcible arguments used through them
by Grant, Sherman, Thomas and Sheri-
dan. The other is. the people celebra.
ting their national historic birth day,
by the ringing of bells, the tramp of
professions, the strains of music, the
voice of oratory and the display Of py-
rotechnics. 1t is glorious and hallow-
ed day on which every American feels
