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. Lelrosz9 gegf ,sauia
We learn from Mr.. W. H. BALoH, who
arrived last evening, that q 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, =, <',. I1
Mr.. BALoH 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 CAMpBEIL, 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.
SHELLEY. 'raax o. s@-t 3.a'i ,,.--" "'A ..''

Engineer Corps. :


ait will be remembered that Col. AvRR11I
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. WIN. E. AERR1l1, Chief
Engineer Of the Department Of the Cum
berland, writes from Nashville of date
April 9th, to Col. AvERn1, that eighty
FIVE of these men had arrived at Chatta-
nooga, and 90 well was Col. NJ. pleased
with their appearance and requirements,
that he has determined to make them the
nencleus of new Company, to be Co. 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 a de-
served compliment paid to our North Star

From Fort WadsworiE.

General S1BLEY has received dispatch
Sc from Fort Wadsworth, dated April
25th and 26th. 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 LoDsHs "a most
notorious rascal, and an active participant
in the massacresb 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 RosR states That he is s g
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.. SdBLHYs orders
not to take any prisoners Of these raiding
parties will be rigidly carried out. ~ SgsI
The scouts report two white men re-
Gently killed by Indians at Fort Rice, on
the Missouri River. Their names were
not given. ~, a.astrs r5gu
Two lodges Of Mdewakantons had been
captured at Long Lake. Two horses be-
longing to RED IRoNs' 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 mo-
body was hurt. s4 20 sgas5 aafa ~
In anticipation Of trouble on the frontier
during the summer, Gen. SIBIRY has made
every arrangement possible with the force
at bis command to prevent any serious
dspredatlons. 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. SrsIEY numbers some $500 men. of
which 400 or 500 are ex-rebels, and a poor
dependence. 3r,a-

General sherman.

1r A Cincinnati dispatch says: "a letter
from Gen. SHERMAN was received here. to-
day, in which he says the war now, being
over he expected to be at home in Q few
days. He refers to the peace conference
with JOHNSTON, and states that when the
facts are officially promulgated, his course
viii be sustained by the country. The
party who received the letters being IA
miliar with SHERMAN's policy as instructed
by the late President LINCOLN, asserts that
the agreement with JOHNSTON was only
that which Mr.. LINCOLN foreshadowed to

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 a1a1s7 rs .
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,om strong
arm. But the old settlers can and should
be able to give coed advice to the stranger
and aid him in seeking, g 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 I'M
mindful Of her duty in this respect. s1gl,7o
10 Our people should not hesitate to adj
wise new corners, and if they cannot do it
themselves, refer then, to some one who
can. There is no State in the Union
where government land is SO easily acces-
sible as here in Minnesota, with usually
good roads to every point on the Minne-
sofa, Mississippi or any point west OF the
Big Woods. ,riS sa- tadt b9flsi1H 9j bro"
i If the emigrant is farmer, he'wai find
the production of grsih, stock and sheep
more profitable here than in any other
place on the globe Is he . shoemaker,
there is room for him in every settlement
Is he carpenter, he is wanted every
where. All should be told hat 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. ass ,tst lslalt
Every citizen should obtain information
regarding the soil, timber, and general adj

State. that he may be able to assist emil
