SALE OF PRoPERTy.-Let any one glance
over the advertisements in almost any newspaper
in'the South at the present time, and he will be
surprised to see the large number of Plantations
or plantation implements offered for sale. Look
at our own columns and the indication is plain
that many of our planters intend to abandon the
business. The reason. no doubt is that freed
men will not do to depend laborers in the
South. Farming operations must necessarily be
curtailed everywhere unless there is some law
enacted and force used to make the colored peo-
pie work. If everybody quits farming and goes
to merchandising or trading, what will become of

The Indian News.

The letters of our correspondent at Man
kato, give full details of the massacre
by Indians near that place, and the swift
punishment that has overtaken one Of them
at the hands of an exasperated people. As
the government saw fit to interpose in be-
half of nearly all the Indians engaged in
the massacres of 1862, and to allow them
to escape the punishment they SO richly
deserved, the people of Mankato cannot be
severely blamed for their action in the case
of JOHN CAMPBELL. ,7-s MA
We learn from Mr.. W. 81. BAIoH, who
arrived last evening, that great panic
prevails among the settlers, and that many
are fleeing to the towns with their fami-
lies, while others avow their intention of
returning to the East at once. ...1',
Mr.. BALcH informs US that Judge BRAN
SON presided over the court which tried
CAMPBELL. The mother of CAMPBELL,
living at Traverse des Sioux, received a
letter from her son JOE CAMPBELL, living at
Wadsworth, advising her to flee into the
interior for safety, as the Indians were
coming down in force to clean out all the
white settlements. This JOE Campbell
acted as private secretary to LITTLE Grow
in 1862, and wrote all the letters which
passed between LITTLE Crow and Gen.
SIBLRY. -.

Engineer Corps.

g. It will be remembered that Col. AvRR11L
received authority from the War Depart
ment to enlist certain number of men,
who possessed the proper qualifications,
for the Engineer Corps. The men were
mustered, and Col. WV. E. MERRILL, Chief
Engineer Of the Department Of the Cum
berland, writes from Nashville of date
April 9th, to Col. AvERu1, that eighty
FIVE of these men had arrived at Chatta-
nooga, and go well was Col. NJ. pleased
with their appearance and requirements,
that he has determined to make them the
neucleus of new Company, to be 90. L
Of his Regiment, instead of assigning them
to other Companies. This is fine thing
for our boys, as they will thus have the
selection of their own officers. They are
picked men, and thus once more is de-
served compliment paid to our North Star

that among their number was one SCOTT

his brother JOHN CAMPBELL. Through his
efforts their lives were spared, but they
were ordered off by the Indians.

be visited by other war parties in few

there. The party of hunters started on
their way down on tie Oath and came
across another party of Indians, six in num-
Der, who stated that six other bands were
on the war path, making their way to the
settlements. They also stated that they
were furnished with ammunition by the
English and told to make war on the
whites, and they were going to kill all the
Indians found down among the whites.

A Few Words for the Emigrants.

The substantial conclusion of the war
the early return of three or four thou
sand Minnesota boys, and the disbandment
of three or four hundred thousand men of
other States, many of whom will be COM
PEELED to seek cheap and fertile homes in
the Northwest-cannOt fail to add materi-
ally to the resources of Minnesota. Emf
grafton is bound to flow into Minnesota
this season and the next, with an impetus
never before equalled in our history. We
notice every day teams loaded with house
hold goods. and women and children,
vending their way towards the Northwest,
and these are but a small portion of those
that enter the State at various points on
the river and through Iowa
Two difficulties always attend emigra-
ton. The new conner usually has his ex-
pectations too high, and the old resident
thinks it is nothing to him what becomes
of the settler-and both are wrong. If
the settler finds good piece of land, this
is all nature can do for him. The improve
ments he must make with his o,oa strong
arm. But the old settlers can and should
be able to give coed advice to the stranger
and aid him in seeking home on the from
tier. Every new farmer on the. frontier
but adds to the commercial Importance OF
St. Paul, and St. Paul should not be un-
mindful of her duty in this respect. .,.,.
Our people should not hesitate to adj
wise new corners, and if they cannot do it
themselves, refer them to some one who
can. There is no State in the Union
where government land is SO easily access
sible as here in Minnesota, with usually
good roads to every point on the Mime
sofa, Mississippi or any point west OF the
Big Woods. -er3 Jea...# Oh a'roa
If the emigrant is farmer, be- will find
the production of graih, stock and sheep
more profitable here than in any other
place on the globe. Is he q shoemaker,
there is room for him in every settlement.
Is be a carpenter, he is wanted every
where. All should be told that with hope,
energy and activity, they will secure, in
nine cases out of ten, plenty and content
ment, and that the social institutions of
the interior more than keep pace with the
increase of population. - Iii .'....t
Every citizen should obtain information
regarding the soil, timber, and general adj
yantages of the various sections of the
State. that he may be able to assist emil
grants in selecting plans of settlement.

to the demand Of oar government upon
Canada for the surrender Of certain per-
sons domioiled in her limits and inplicated
in the assassination Of our lamented Pre-
sident, We would call Tho attention Of our
readers to the subjoined extract from the
Annual Register, an English publication of
1853. It viii be recollected that an at
tempt was made to asssssiusSe the Emper-
or of the French, on the l4th Of January,
A. D. 1858. The French Minister of For
eign Affairs, in his dispatch to the London
Ambassador, after chargirr ths' this
scheme and others that i,.eoeded it had
originated in London, says, and this is the
extract, to which We call attention:
While the French Government did not com.
plain that its adversaries find refuge on British
soil, and live there peaceably under the protec-
ton of British laws, we would ask, Is hospi-
tality due to assassins sAould English legis.
lation seem to favor their designs and their
manouvres? and can it continue to protect
persons who place themselves by fragrant acts
outside Of the pale of universal law and expose
themselves to the ban of humanity? The re-
eurrence and the wickedness of these guilty
enterprises subject France to danger against
which we are all bound to provide The Gov
eminent of Her Britannia Majesty can assist US
in averting it, by giving Us guarantee of secu-
rity which no State can refuse to neighboring
State, and which we are authorized in expecting
from an ally. .".-f' 80 81 -" .-.

guarantee to France, from an unwilling
ness, as is said, to interfere in any way
with the rights of asylum. What will she
do in our case? q! r. a.e

From Fort Wadsworili.

General SIBLRY has received Dispatch
Sc from Fort Wadsworth, dated April
25th and Goth. Five scouts sent to Devils
Lake had returned, and report thirty-two
lodges Of Sissetons coming down to give
themselves up. Five other lodges had
reached Chiefs Bluff on their way down
also, but were joined at that place by ten
lodges of hostile Indians, who would pre-
vent their coming further. They also re-
port large bands of hostile Indians on the
Minnesota Coteau, who threaten to shoot
any Indian that expresses determination
to surrender. They boast Of attacking
Fort Wadsworth, and say they will treat
both whites and friendly Indians as enc
mics. Three of WHITE LoDeR's "a most
notorious rascal, and an active participant
in the massacres of 1862 sons and thir-
teen Sissetons are on the war-path in the
vicinity of Fort Wadsworth. They have
been seen within twenty-five miles of the
fort. Major RosE statesthat he is satis-
fed there will be many attempts made by
struggling bands to pass through the lines
during the summer, but ample arrange
ments have been made to give them q
warm reception, and Gen. SIBLEYs orders
not to take any prisoners of these raidins
parties will be rigidly carried out.
The scouts report two white men re-
Gently killed by Indians at Fort Rice, on
the Missouri River. Their names were
not given. u.fs
Two lodges of Mdewakantons had been
captured at Long Lake. Two horses be-
longing to RED lions band of friendly
Indians were stolen on the 26th from their
camp within four miles of Fort Wadsworth
probably by the war party mentioned
above. Shots were exchanged, but no
body was hurt.
In anticipation Of trouble on the frontier
during the summer, Gen. SIBLEY has made
every arrangement possible with the force
at his command to prevent any serious
depredations. The frontier to be guarded
extends over wide scope of country, and
1t may be impossible to guard against raids
along the entire line. The force under
Gen. SlBLEY numbers some $500 men. of
which 400 or 500 are ex-rebels, and poor
dependence.
