Hrsn Fort Wadsvvorsh.


Gen. 6mzxr received q, private letter
Friday from Fort Wadsworth, dated
April Goth, It contains the. information
that ten lodges Of the. Sissetons had come
in and surrendered. Among other items,
the writer mentions that, belonging to
these lodges was notorious rascal named
CErANsApA, who took prominent part
in the massacre of 1862. Gen. SHELLEY
had given orders that this miscreant should
not be taken as a prisoner, which news by
some means reached OETANsAPAs ears.
He thereupon stole two Of the best horses
Of the tribe and made off, He was fol-
lowed by the Indians so closely that he
was obliged to kill one of the horses and
make his escape on the other. He told
his wife before leaving that he would yet
cause both Sioux and whites to remember
him.
The buffalo had been leaving the valley
Of the James lately, and the indications
are that they will return in increased mum.

Frontier Protection.

Gen. SHELLEY has adopted such measures
for the protection of the frontier as will
render it almost impossible for the Indians
to interfere with the progress of settle
msnt hereafter. He has established lire
of posts from Alexandria, on the Red
River, to the Iowa line, distance. of 1870
miles. These posts are from twenty to
thirty miles west of the lines held last year,
and will cover all present settlements and
all that will probably be made for year
or two to come. The names of these posts
and the distances apart are as follows:
From Alexandria to southwest of Lake

The Assassin Killed.

The public will receive the announce
ment that BOOTH has been killed with
great satisfaction. If he had been taken
alive, and doomed to suffer more ignomi-
NOUS death on the scaffold, it would have
been still more gratifying. The officers
and soldiers who took lis life will doubt
less be entitled to the rewards, amounting
in the aggregate to over one hundred
thousand dollars. 30 raatsai dni 81. seaf
The arrest Of bis accomplice, HAROLD,
we trust win lead to an exposure of the
whole plot, that the guilty may be punish
ed and the innocent relieved of suspicion.
Little is known of the part taken by HAIR
OLD in the assassinations, as the officers
who have been engaged in investigating
the matter have not communicated to the
public the information in their possession.
The Washington Star contains the follow
ing notice of him:
- David Harold Is well known, in the Sixth
Ward, he being the son OF the late A. G. Har-
old. who for many years was the principal
clerk In the naval store. We believe that he
was educated here and at Charlotte Hall, Saint
Marys county, Nd, and until recently was q
clerk in drug store in the 9th Ward. he has
been known as sympathixer with the South,
but no one suspected he would go to any des-
perate lengths tn her behalf
He had been out of employment for some
time past and managed to keep horse-a very
fast pacing animal-at Pope's stable on K street
south, which he took ont of the stable about
shutdown on Friday night last As he mounted
and rode out, he sang out to those in charge of
the stable, IF any one asks for me, tell them
I've gone to New York.
On the same afternoon he told some of his
acquaintance that he was going to st. Mary 8
county. s-1 .a

A writer, evidently q lawyer, argues in
the Eoening Post in favor of the trial of
certain rebel leaders in the district OF
Pennsylvania in which the battle of Get
tysburg was fought He thinks an indictr.
ment found in that district would hold, as
proofs could very easily be made showing
RoBERr E. LEE guilty Of the act of acsu-
aAylevying war against the United States
within that district; and SO, also, in re-
gard to any or all of the officers who acted.
under the orders of that rebel chief. The
writer sees no good reason why DAVIS, or
BkNJAluN, or BRRcKMRDaE, or any other
Of the rebel chiefs, should not he indicted,
and tried, and convicted, and punished too,
quite as well in Pennsylvania as in any
Other. place. He says: aa 14 toslts] +

cit Is not the intention Of the Court to say
that no individual can be guilty of this crime
who has not appeared in arms against his
country. On the contrary, If war be actually
levied, that Is, II body of men be actually
assembled for the purpose of efecting by force
reasonable purpose, all those who perform
any part, however minute, or however remote
from the scene of action, and who are actually
leagued In the general conspiracy, are to be
considered as traitors."

General sherman.

Secretary STANTON has issued an official
bulletin, with the evident design of placing
Gen. SHERMAN in the worst light before
the people. In the first paragraph he is
careful to state that " the rebel General
BRECKENRIDGE was present at the confer
ence, in order to give an impression that
he dictated tie terms OF the negotiations.
He then goes on to state that the memo
randum Of the basis of peace was disap.
proved by the President, the Cabinet, and
"Gen. GRANT," and then contrasts the
conduct of the latter under similar cir
cumstances with the action of Gen. SHER-
MAN. And then, to excite popular preju-
dice still further against Gen. SHER-
MAN, he intimates that the nego-
tiations will result in the escape
of JEFF. DAVIS and his partisans with
fabulous amount of plumber of the Rich
mond banks, as well as previous accumu-
lations. Whatever may be thought of the
terms of the memorandum between SHRR-
MAN and JOHNSTON, which were submitted
to the Government for its approval or re-
lection, we think it will be found that
Gen. SHERMAN was actuated by the best
motives, and that every base insinua-
ton against him will be disproved. A man
like STANTON Cannot ride him down rough
shod.
Gen. SHERMAN, in an order to his troops,
speaks of the arrangement as one that
would make peace from the Potomac to
the Rio Grande, and believed that in a
few days it would be his good fortune to
conduct his men to their homes. He did
not regard the arrangement as finally,
but thought if it was approved and carried
out in good faith, peace and Union
would be established. He believ-
edI these were the objects of the
war, and when they were attained he
could conceive of no reason why any more
men should be slaughtered. But the poor
man was "c1aZy."

Regarding the omission Of Ex. President
FILLMORE to drape his house the CONNER
cial Advertiser of Buffalo says:
We have reason to know that this omission
was not for want Of sincere respect for the de-
ceased or of any heartfelt sorrow at his death.
But private dwellings were not generally drap.
be, and Mrs. Fillmore being out Of health, Mr..
Fillmore, as we are informed, did not leave his
house after going to the Post-oface In the
morning, and therefore was not aware that any
private dwellings were draped, and naturally
he misunderstood. Expecting . meeting
would be called, he had designed to attend 1t,
and give expression to the just indignation
which he felt for the awful crime which had
been committed, and to the grief he felt at the
loss of man whose life he deemed go valuable
at this moment to our country. By some ac-
cident no notice of the meeting was given in
the afternoon papers which he received. We
understand that no drapery is to be had in the
city this morning.
The DETACHMENT of his house by mob
was disgrace to the country Those who
now court mob law may have occasion for
regret. An accident which occurred q
week ago in Philadelphia is in point, to
show the blind fury Of mob. A man
named SYMoN SNYDER Ga name historical
ly reverenced in Pennsylvania, was struck,
through mistake, by another. Immedi-
ately the cry off, Copperhead " was raised,
and an excited crowd became wild in their
efforts to kill him, under the impression
he had said something disrespectfnl of
Mr.. LINCOLN. Fortunately an officer was
present, the local telegraph was set to
work, tie police came, and by almost SUI
per-human efforts the man g life was saved,
though his person was seriously injured.
1t turned out, on inquiry, that he was a
warm friend OF Mr.. LINCOLN, had voted for
him in 1860 and 1864, and deeply regret
ted his death. Nevertheless the Press
(FoRsEYs paper -ays: ''It is evident that
Mr.. Snyder would have been killed 10
mistake, had it not have been for officer
KENDIa, 10 whom he may attribute the
preservation of his life''

The sors q weaeesas RnigraAas
GAoulA Doceave.

Z Our streets ars FIN q strange faces, and
the question naturally arises, Where do
they all come from? It is evident Mime
sofa is to receive this season powerful
stimulus in the way Of emigration. Are
we prepared to receive and extend the hand
OF swelcome to these strangers? Are we
prepared to do justice to our noble young
State, when these new corners ask us
where they can go and build homes for
themselves and their children? We fear
not. Landlords naturally wish to keep
boarders in their houses as long as posi-
BILE; land spectators are on hand to but
ton-hole every new conner, have farm all
ready for him, &C., but when he sets the
price, the stranger suddenly finds he can
do much better at home. No one is pre-
pared to direct him to the choice of gov
eminent land, because he could not charge
him SIS or $40 for the information.
There is not map or diagram of Min
nesota (reliable) in hotel in st. Paul, and
many an emigrant has returned down the
river Disguised because be could meet with
nothing but high prices and speculation.
Would it not be well for the powers that
be to provide for our hotels the means of
enabling q stranger to look over the State
at q glance. Among other statistics let
the Land Districts be marked out, and the
location of the Land Offices fixed upon the
map, so they could be seen at . glance !;
copies Of the Homestead Law distributed
broad cast, and such other statistics as
would make the stranger feel that he is
near home, and that he is surrounded by
people that would be glad to see him settle
here. Let them see and feel that we have
a noble and healthy State, 200 miles wide
and 400 long-easy Of accees-with any
quantity of the richest soil in the world,
that can be had for the taking. As much
good can be done in this way, at our own
doors, within the next sixty days, as can
be done in New York and Europe the
whole season.

The Friendly Indians,

Efforts have been made in behalf of
|. those Sioux Indians who remained faithful
to the Government during and since the
outbreak of 1862, to have lands assigned
them as residence, on their former resey-
walton lying on the Upper Minnesota riv-
er. Rev. Mr.. HMMAN, who formerly re-
sided as Missionary among these bands,
procured authority from the Interior De-
partment to select lands, under late act
of Congress, for the friendly Sioux, upon
the reservation, but Gen. SHELLEY under
Gen. PoPEs instructions, will not permit
of any settlement of Sioux Indians, inside
of line designated by certain streams,
above and beyond Fort Wadsworth, unless
ordered otherwise by the War Depart
ment, and due notice has been given of
that determination.
Gen. sherman's Terms of Peace.
Among the reasons assigned by Secre-
tary STANTON for disappearing the nego-
tiations and agreement entered into by
Gen. SHERMAN and Gen. JOHNSTON, is the
following: .
9Th. 1t gave terms that had been deliberate
~, repeatedly and solemnly rejected by Presi.
dent Lincoln and better terms than they had
ever asked. even in their most prosperous con-
dition.
1t has been often asserted by the admin
istration presses, and we think officially,
that the rebels had never proposed, and
would not accept, peace on any terms that
did not embrace the recognition of the
Oonfederacy.
The only negotiations or conferences of
which the public have any information,
were those held last summer at Niagara
Falls, and the interview at Fortress Monroe
between President LINCOLN, Secretary
SEWARD, and HUNTER, STEPHENS and
CAMPBELL. In neither of these confer
ences did the rebels ask or propose to ac-
cept such humiliating terms as were de-
manded By Gen. SHERMAN.
The assertion of Secretary STANTON that
these terms were "better than they (the
rebels) bad ever asked, even in their most
prosperous condition." is entirely ora.
