The Red Wing Argus says the officers
of the Slack Water Navigation Company
will have thorough survey made this
summer of the Cannon and LIE Sueur Riv-
ers and the lakes between their head.wa-
tiers, to determine the cost of the pro-
posed work, and to locate the necessary
locks and dams. The following are the
officers of the company: WV. Phelps,
Of Red Wing, President; A. II. Bulls, Of
Rice county, Treasurer; and L. 2. Ro-
gers, of LIE Sueur county, Secretary.
The Argus gives an account of a ire
mendous fight between Mr.. George W.
Bowers of Red Wing, and a bear weighing
over 400 pounds. Mr.. Bowers fred sew
eral times at bruin without effect, when
the animal turned upon him, and he had
to skedaddle. His dogs, however, held
the bear at bay, and Mr.. Bowers returned
and gave him a. deadly shot. The skin
was sold for SIS. Il 81 as5i=i3 ~

MR. JAMES j.. GREEN, late of the st
Peter Statesman, has removed bis Office
to LIE Sueur, and re-issued his journal with
the title of Minnesota Salesman. Mr..
GREEN is an able writer, and has also the
rare tact Of making an excellent newspa-
per. The sterling democracy of the valley
should give him liberal support. From
his local columns of this week we learn
that while celebrating the evacuation of
Richmond, Frederick Lackie had his right
arm broken in three places between the
elbow and wrist, and his hand badly frac-
tured, by the premature discharge Of a
cannon.-The Catholics of LIE Sueur and
Of Cleveland are about erecting handsome
churches.-Aswool carding machine will
be erected this spring at Ottawa.-Awool-
en- factory is also to be built at st. Peter.
during the past three years no town
in the fertile valley Of the Minnesota
has improved as rapidly as LIE Sueur, Of
which the new appearance of buildings
bears ample evidence. Within the period
named, its population has at least doubled.

The men presenta sorry appearance, and are
much emaciated and prostrated by confinement
and starvation, and fully confirm the worst
statements made by others of their inhuman
and barbarous treatment while" prisoners Of

"forgiye and forget such treatment to prison
ers of war as has been melted out to these
men, they may well claim the title of the most
Christian nation on Gods footstool, and the
most forbearing; and viii prove to the world

Some 1000 have already arrived; and judging
from these, about 800 men will be sent to this
post as hospital patients. l am pleased to say
that ample and satisfactory accommodations
are already prepared for them.

6ines IL opening Of navigation and tn
arrival q the frst emiersnn, It may no
% out Of place to bring The subject Of i'm.
migration again before the public. In I
previous communication the writer has en-.
deavored to show tho necessity to aeitate
IN European countries for immigration,
and also the competition and difficulties
there encountered, among which were
named the efforts of Mexico to secure the
largest share Of valuable emigration. The
extent and holiness of the expectations Of
thatnew monarchy, are shown in an extract
from the official organ, L,Essgsae, in
which occurs the following passage:
Considering the encouragement which the
young empire gives to emigration, it can moi
overlook the fact that there exists IN North
America considerable part of the population
which today looks upon Mexico, reorganized
BY 1udieious institutions, with the hope OF
healing there those wounds which were cansed
BY civil war. These disfranchised elements
will seek new homes, new interests and new
social position. Their loyal adherence win be-
long to that country which can furnish them
peace and prosperity. They will establish their
hearth here, and will defend it against all inya-
sions, even against such which might come
from the country from which apublic calamity
has driven them In other words, we will get
an American immigration which win fight just
as well against the United States, In case these
should commence war with Mexico, as at
present the South does against the North.
Comments ON the above are unneces-
sary. A judicioas circulation of these
and similar expressions, by experienced
agents and publishers abroad, among those
who are allured by large promises to emf
CRATE to Mexico, would probably effect a
change in their destination. Emigrants do
not like to go to country which is en-
gagged in or expects war this we have
felt only too keenly to our disadvantage
during the present civil war. When the
glorious news reaches Europe of our re-
cent victories, and the probable speedy
termination of the rebellion, there will
take place such reaction in favor of this
great country, that the old inclination and
desire to emigrate to the freest country on
the globe, will revive, and ought to be
famed into enthusiasm, that nearly all the
European emigration will again pour into
our shores. Now is the time to make a
judicious appointment of person fully
capable to do this. ,- E..e err

been one of the severest on record, the very

force is more than satisfactory to me.
l am equally grateful to the recruits (they
may well drop that name now for their patient
and heroic endurance of privations and hard
ships to which they were little accustomed, and
to the veterans who have so uniformly given
soldierly example to those of less experience
in the rough ways of war.

obtain clothing and other much needed sup.

graphed from this point to Washington, the
public have doubtless ere this become &C.
quainted with their full import. The arrival
OF Lieutenant General Grant must have had
a salntary effect upon General Johnston, and
proved TO him and the decamping rebel au-
midst OF his army, that the Government was
not disposed to yield to their unreasonable de-
mands.
From recent accounts Of the numbers of Gen
Johnston's army, it is presumed that in surren-
dering he gives up to Gen. Grant even more
ehcient and larger army than WIS surren-
dered by General Lee With this surrender
the formidable military organization Of the re :.

MEMPHIS, April 2s, (via Cairo, April 29.)-
The Vfcksburg Herald extra, 25th, has a dis
patch dated Off mouth of Red river, April %,
stating that at nine O'Clock this morning the
famous ram Webb ran out of Red river, pass
ing all the gunboats and iron -clads here and
descending the Mississippi river with lightning
speed.
When first discovered she had no lights nor
emitted any smoke, and approached like huge
black mass. She was fired on by the Manhattan,
when she Immediately showed signs of life
She passed the Manhattan, who signalled the
Lafayette, and started in pursuit.
OMcers OF the Manhattan estimate the speed
OF the Webb at twenty five miles per hour
when passing them. The steamer Saratoga,
from New Orleans, met the Webb at Tunica
Bend, ten miles below. The rebel steamer then
attempted to run down the Saratoga, but was
unsuccessful, and continued down. It is be-
ieved she intends destroying our commerce on
the Mississippi, and probably make an attempt
to escape to the guilt.
Some assert that jeff Davis is very probably
ether foreign port.
II nothing happens to the Webb she can reach
NewiOrleans at daylight, and the mouth OF the
Mississippi by noon.
