Correspondence Of the st. Paul DispatchI
j think that some wrong Information has been
given In regard to Louis Rlelle who now the COM
mandern-chief OF the revolutionary force in the Red
river. On Monday evening the Dispatch expresses
itself about him as IollOws:-
Louis Relle a year ago resident Of st. Paul
and clerk In Langsrins grocery store He Is tall, well
hs VIII be rather and bis
learn the position he holds in the
AS am acquainted with the gentleman I am not
at all surprised for my part learn the position he
holds in that movement; for consider him, and he
Is considered by all those who can appreciate him,
not only as tall, well formed man, but as q man OF
strong mental ability, thoroughly educated for his
age and possessing high aspirations though not
exceeding the limits Of his talents
Louis Riee Is young man about twenty-four
years OF age. was born at Red river from poor but
respectable parents. and is OF pure French origin.
Thirteen years ago his education was placed under
the care OF bishop, who sent him to the best
classical college in Montreal-that same college
where General DIX OF the United STATES, and several
other great scholars have been educated.
He remained there nine years as student and
displayed sucn talent and obtained such success in
literature that his professors and protectors wanted
him to enter their community. But LOUIS RielIe as
well formed man, did not want to take robe
forever the religious subject OF their spiritual order
decided against their will to study the law and enter
the French literary career.
After his decision more protection was offered
MIN; and with the strength OF his character follow
ing the path prepared for him by Providence resist
ed the empire OF their desposm and preferred misery
to their despotism. From that time he had to strug.
gle Tor his living; he was left without any resources
wha,ever, WI, and, on account OF the interruption Of
to Minnesota about three years ago, and remained
alternately IN ST. Paul and ST. Anthony during two
years. He got situations as clerk in grocery stores
but, OF course, was disappointed. Commerce was
not his lavorte branch but yet he would have prac-
tlsed 1t II he could have got any hope to raise in
short time money enough to allow him to study as
lawyer HIS disappointment cause1 his return to Red
river, where ne thought he could sooner get the
means OF following the course OF his desires. Such
was the fatality OF the circumstances.
don't know II Mr. L. Rielle possesses any mill
tary or political genius. Should he fail or nor in
tins career would consider him too able for being
at the head OF body OF half breeds who are hardly
semi-clvillzed.
As writer ana speaker in the French language
he cannot easily be surpassed by any man Of his
age. To that point OF view his mind Is always rea.
sonlnR and reasonable, and l.. Riele would up-
doubtedly become first class lawyer That he could
not do without having strong mental ability.

WAKING or 10 THE TRUTH.
he Commercial Value OF the South

Tho New York Herald says edit ,rialy:
Well might the North buckle on all its
armor to keep the South in the Union, for,
apart from political considerations and the
I,atrotic sentiment OF maintaining the gran
deur and glory OF tho republic intact, that
part OF our common country is the source
~ our commercial wealth and more yalua-
bic TO the North than ever India was to Eng
land. According to the latest statistics the
value OF Southern exports last year vas
over two hundled and fourteen millions. while
that OF the North was little less than two
hu Idred millions. There is this great differ
ence, too, in the natuIe OF the exports OF tho
two sections, that large portion OF those
OF the North is in the precious metals, which
in a measure impoverlshes the country, while
those OF the South are the products OF the SOIL
and bring us gold OF lts equivalent. Cotton,
of course, is the great staple, though tobacco
IL valuable product, and sugar, rice and
other thugs form q part Of the exports. Inc
domestic trade of the South is still more Valu-
able to the North, for it supplies our manutac G..
turers with the raw material they need ana
takes back Northern manufactures in return.
These great and valuable exports and this vast
trade. too, have been developed again 80 soon
aft.r the South had been desolated by war.
This not only shows the surprising wealth OF
the soil, but the astonishing energy OF charac-
ter and recuperatlve power OF the people. Yet
1t ia this rich and beautiful country, and these
citizens which are kept under the heel OF mill
tary despotism and m1de the football OF schem'
ing politicians years after the close OF the war
But this state OF things must soon come to an
end. and the South will rise from its ashes to
bs the richest country 10 the world.
