Soon till was quiet save the measured tread of the watchful patrol.—All- who were- indiscreet enough to venture beyond their thresholds, were promptly arrested, and ordered hack, without time to 'expostulate. Slowly 'ant, wearily passed the dark hours, bringing, rest to the weary and hope to the despairing.— Morning came, and with it,a company of sol diers from Fort Snelling. This brave band set out for Watertown,' a point thirty; miles west, to give aid to a band of men who had sent their families here, while they remained to defend their homes and crops. When we take into consideration that af no time has there been a hostile Indian within forty miles of Minneapolis, we can readily see how unnecessary the panic.' Yet dozens of the refugees were ready, and willing to swear that their neighbors were murdered be fore they left their homes. It is a fact that not a family was left at home west: of this place; All were refugees. Such was the ef fect of the general scare. As we write a fine company of military from Frot.Snelling are passing en route for Crow Wing, on the Mis sissippi. ' " , : Various causes have been assigned for the present outbreak, viz: Firit. “ That the National Government has proved delinquent in prompt paymc.it of the annuity.” There is some, good grounds for this complaint.

Later advices seem to indicate that the Sonix tribes residing west of Minnesota are* in league with the “ Cat Heads,’' “ Yahktons,” and “ Yankton-horse,” and Arapanoes.”— Should these advices prove cnireot, then we will have a general Indian war. Thoseva rious tribes stretch from Fort Kidgely, in this State, to the Kooky Mountains; a dis tance of 1500 miles. They con muster, at least 10,00 k warriors.

DC7* A Keokuk ■ correspondent sends ns a story of the Rev. Julius Caesar, a colored preacher of Missouri, which he thinks goes to show that some of the sable brethren are quite as,'cute as any of the Hard Shells Of wh“m we have heard so rouoh of late. : . Mr. Caesar had made an appointment to preach about twenty, miles’from his master’s plantation, and there he made his appearance with his saddle-bans bn his arm, and gave out at once that he had come to preach the Gos pel to the niagera thereabouts. “Yah 1 yah F’ responded a hundred voices; but one of the negroes; more bold but not worse than the rest, sung out: “Well,.now, look n-here, niggor, if you jist brung a pack o’oavds wid you, you moot dun sumfin, but proachin’ is a little too slow for dis congrega tion.’’ ■ - 6 Caesar remonstrated with them, os they nil seemed to fall in with the old fellow’s ideas; but they told him to go home, and “de next time he oomq to bring de cards.” Caesar started off with his sdddle-bags oh : his arm, but halted, opened them, and turning about as he said, “If dat's what vou must hove/ why, den,. you must 1” and pulling but a greasy old pack sat down on the grass. “Bat’s de talk-; 0 de laud,, jis look I dat nigger got some little senses left arter all; sensihul to de last!” they cried out one after another. The preacher commenced, opera tions, and after some five or sis hours’, play/ ing hadi Skinned every thing around, clearing them out of all the loose silver they had picked up in many a day /.Ctesar shoved the documents into, the bags, and starting off again, told, them, by way of a parting, bene diction, that whenever they baa a.little mon ey to support the Gospel in that way, just to let him, know, V .

C anions Custom.— ln a tract of country in Germany, not far' from Frankford-on-tho Maine, called the Wetterau, a custom exist ing at the fairs which may startle'some of our salaried magistrates and police inspectors To some of the numerous light fingered gen try a privilege was granted, for on adequate fee, with full permission to steal what they could without being amendable to the law, with this single proviso, that they must not be o'ausbt in jflagranle delictu: if so, the owner of the property had the equal privilege of pay ing the roguesout by a good thrashing, for: which no action for assault could lie. Those thieves were somewhat ironically designated, in their official written license, free kaufer Ifvee buyers), and public notice was given at the beginning of each fair that, free buyers had been: licensed, and that therefore every one should be on his' guard. In mediaeval times many of'.thp municipal customs of oar own'ouuhtry were very similar, and it would be a curious .circumstance if, in the town re cords of any English city,, such a custom as that of licensing free buyers cdiild be found,: ib'.de especially if the still unexplained Pie Powder Court, at Smithfleld Bartholomew: Fair, granted any such privilege.

' , . . . : Well, about dusk one of the party arrived, and soon ofter the other, and they comppared their strings of fish.

Did you catch them?/' "'/ Why, to be sure—l took every one of ’em myself/ 1 Well, ,that:seemed satisfactory; but some how or other, this discrepancy in the number of fish taken seemed to be ratherlieculiar; ■ so-after supper the discomfited friend took little boy to one side, with whom his compel-1 itor had fallen in on his way back to the tav*j etn, and putting a quarter of a dollar in his hand, said* ‘DidMri. P — ; — catch all those fish he brought back with his own hook and line V ‘ Them Ho had on that crotched stick ? Ho had two o’ them sticks.’; ■ ‘ Yes, yes—l know: hut did he catch them all?’ ' ' ‘Can’t say ; all.t can say, is that he told me how, if any body asked me; I " wasn’t to say a word about them fish ; and I ain’t a goin’ to do it 1’ The cat was put of the hag 1 . Now for the second sto.y: A gentleman who had carefully trained up his servant the way he should go, so that when his”wife was - present he might not de part frbm it, sent film with a box-ticket for the theatre b • the house of a young lady. The f servr.nt returned, when the gentleman and his wife wore at dinner. He had, of course,' been told, in giving answers to cer tain kind of messages, to substitute the mas culine for the feminine pronoun, in speaking of the lady. \ - _ ‘ Did you see him ?’ said the gentleman, giving him the cue. ‘Yes,.sir,’ replied the servant. ‘Me said. he’d go with a great deal.of pleasure ; and that he’d wait for you,, sir.’ ‘ What was he doing- V asked the wife, care lessly. ■ ,/ ‘ Me was patting on hie tonnet.’ was the re ply. ' ' ■ It is said,that there was 1 ‘fat in the fire’ immediately. - ■ Two.

Oue day, ,while walking over his land with % friend, fie came to the plank, bridge, and there he told bis, friend the story. -'“I could swear,” he said, pushing bis stick into the rand, ‘.‘to the vevv spot on which the ring dropped.” Wh?n the stick came back, the ring the end of it 1 , , I heard this story when a child, and should certainly have forgotten it, but for a carious illustration which followed it of the insensi bility, of some minds to degrees of probability. A gentleman in company, said i “I knew a thing quite as extraordinary as that. A lady of my acquaintance lost her wedding-ric;;, and could find i: nowhere. This whs shortly before Twelfth day ; when , the cake was out, she found the ring in the very piece that was cut for her. She had helped her cook to make the cake, and the ring had dropped off her finger." No person in the company disputed the second story being As ns. the first; Out, young as I was, I could not help dissenting in my own mind. And now ana then, when I have read trials iind ver dicts, I have suspected that the narrator of the second story was only one of a class which is hot extinct. " OUR COUNTRY—MAY IT A WATS BE.
