across this class of. 'indescribabies.'

of the three kindoms it belongs? And
would you think, from its name that

like the old water finders, with a
fork of witch-hazel in hand, which OBJ

Spread Eagle Oratory.

The reception Of Gen. GRANT at Free
port, Illinois, last week was marred by a
specimen of spread eagle oratory from one
THOMAS J. TURNER. He made the recep-
ton speech, and one can well imagine the
sensations produced in the bosom of a
man 30 modest as Gen. GRANT, at being
addressed in language like the following:
To-day you occupy wider space in the
worlds history than any other living man. In
spired. by holy patriotism, and guided by
your own transcendent genius, you have made
your name the synonism OF victory.
History furnishes no parallel to vour mill
itary achievements. You commanded larger
armies and won more victories than apEother
commander,of modern times.
You stand to day the central figure IN the
sublimest epoch of history, and your name,
linked with the great events of the last four
years, viii 60 sounding down the ages. ter.
ror to all traitors, blessing to the human
race, until Time shall fold his wings at the Wis
tule of Eternity.

Is The Round Table.,s

The following notice of the "Round
Table" revived, is taken from the New
Times.
The same kindly welcome extended to the
Round Table when it first appealed to the favor
of the reading public, will, we doubt not.
greet its temperance. The first number of
the new series is attractive in form. its me.
chanical excellence, indeed, cannot fail to win
high appreciation from persons of taste. The
variety of its contents ought to give satisfac.
ton to the large multitude of readers who
crave for variety. And its opinions on cur
rent topics of literary and political interest are
quite as pronounced as they could well be in
Journal which, we assume, aims at the express
sion of independent rather than party opinions.
One article devoted to THE Future of the
Negro" is sufficiently temperate and philo-
sophie to indicate that the subject is not in the
hands of a specially writer. 1t is treated in a
common sense way very unusual in other
weeklies devoted to the emancipated class at
the South. We see no reason why the Round
Table should not have before it long and
prosperous career. Messrs. II. E. and G. H.
Sweetser are the conductors, and their office is
at 1872 Nassau street, New York. The Round
Table is sold at Is cents a copy. Subscribers
pay Sc by the year. The publication day is
Saturday.
There ought to be at least fifty subscri-
bers to the " Round Table" in st. Paul,
and we hope our news-dealers will order it
at once, that these who take it may lose
none of the numbers. 1t is decidedly the
ablest journal of a literary character in
the country.

The Constitution Of Missassippi..A
General Annessy.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-Quite . protracted
consideration was given the new constitution
of Mississippi, in the cabinet meeting yester-
day; bnt outsiders have learned little beyond
this concerning the matter.
The opinion is confidently entertained, in
many quarters, that something approaching q
general amnesty will be proclaimed toward
the late rebels of the South, long before the
meeting of the next Congress, and that the
public need not be surprised at its promulga-
ton any day. 1t is expected to be made appli-
cable to to people of particular States at differ
emit Washington Dispatch.
If the destructives of the Republican
party do not interfere with the plans of
President JOHNSON, now in process of ex-
ecution, the last vestige of the secession
heresy will soon become extirpated, and all
the lately rebellious States restored to
their places in the Union. But these OBJ
jects the destr1ctives do not want to see
accomplished during the present genera
ton, unless they can be assured that such
happy results will not interfere with their
tenure of political power. Hence every
obstacle will be thrown in the way of q
full accomplishment of the President IS
method of reconstruction.

A gentleman who left Fort Rice three
weeks ago makes the following report {:
Gen. SuLIY was expected at Fort Sully
every day. There was no news of import
ance from the expedition. Nothing has
been done, so far this season, by the troops
towards cleaning out the redskins. There
had been no disturbance worthy of note
above Yankton; but, short distance this
side, the Indians attacked party of men
engaged in making hay, and killed three or
four Of them. The Indians were prowling
about the country in small bands, killing
whomsoever they could. They seem to be
doing pretty much as they please. In the
upper country it had rsined necessarily for
three weeks. The health of the troops
was not good, slight form Of scurvy hav-
ing made it's appearance. There was q
great scarcity. of vegetables, which was
keenly felt by the troops. There were
thousands Of grasshoppers that would prob
ably devour most Of the vegetation.
