The Mankato Record brings ns full de
tails of the execution of the' thirty-eight
._lndians at that place by order of .Presi
dent Lincoln:So great?ivas the excite
ment in the vicinity, _ and so, large the
crowd of spectators flocking . to thes.seene,
that martiallaW declared as early as
-Wednesday. On Monday, before the ex
:eontion, _ Cot. read ,to the condemn
. ed the death warrant of the President. ,- - - -
. _The Record Says ,
...The , oecaSioti was One' of much solemn',
ty,to. the persons present*, though but
verylittle emotion was manifested by - the
. Indians. A half-breed- named' Milford
seemed much depressed in spirits. All
listened attentively, and at the conclusion•
of each sentence indulged their usual
grunt or sign of aproval. .At the reading
of that portion of the warrant condemn
. ing them to be hanged by the necks, the
-response was-quite feeble, and was given
bronly two, or :three. Several' Indians
smoked their_ pipes composedly during
• the reading,' and we observed one in par
ticular who when thetime of execution
Was designated, quietly knocking the asli
eafroM his Pipe and - filled it- afresh with
hisglivorite .kinnekinick; while -another
was slowly rubbing a pipe-full of the-same
article in his hand, preparatory to a good
spoke.
,The day _before th e execution the
Indi
- ins were. conversed With as to their past
crimes - and coming death. Some of them
were much affected, and many . of them
protested their innocence, claiming that
they had been falsely accused, or
terpreted when on trial. They state that
the guilty had generally escaped, 'while
. they, relying upon their innocence, had
been left to die. The general justification
urged by them was' that they were cbm
pelledin order to save their own lives to
accompany their chief in his attacks upon
the whites, mid of this there seems: to be
no doubt. .
• 'ln making these statements,-confessions
and denials, they were generally calm ;
but a few individuals Were quite e x cited.
They were immediately checked, by oil
-, ers l -and told that they were 'all dead men
and there *as no-reason why the'y shoUld
, .
not the truth. Many of them have
indited letters to their friends, in
_which
they say that 'they are very dear to_ them,
but wilrsee them no. more. They .exhort
• them not . to cry . or change their dress for
Some of them say they expect to
. go and dwell with the Great Spirit, and
- expressed the hope that their friends will
all join them.
On Tuesday evening they extemporized
dance with a wild Indian song. It was
feared that this was only a cover • for
something We which mi v ght be attempted,
and their chains were thereafter fastened
•to the floor. It seems, however, rather
probable that they, were only singing their
death song.
AFFECTING tYrnsiluw'
On Wednesday, each Indian set apart
for execution was' perinitted to send for
two or three of his relativesor friends con= ,
fined in the main prison, for the 'purpose
of bidding• them a final adieu, and to car
, ry such. messages to absent relatives as
each person might be disposed- to send.—
' Xnjor,Brown was present during the in
terviews, Mid - describes them as very . -sad
and affecting. Each. Indian' had some
- word.to send hiS parents' or- family.
-•
When 'speaking 'Of their wives and children.
almost every one Was affected to tears.
On Thursday evening we p - aid a .brief
visit to the condemned prisoners in their
cell. The Catholic niinisterit were bap
tizing •a. number. 'All the prisoners seeth
ed resigned to their fate, and much de
pressed in spirits. t Many sat perfectly
motionless, and'thore like statues than liv
ing men. Others were deeply interested
. in the ceremony of baptism.,:
The gallows, constructed -of heavy
;squire, timberi, is located on -the levee
opposite headquarters. It is 24 feet square
din the form of a diamond. It is about
. 20, feet high. The drop is held by' a large'
rope, attached to a pole in • the centre. of
the frame.
THE OLDER OP EXECUTION.
We visited the prisoners in their cell an
hour before the execution. Their arms
were tied, some were painted, and all
,wore . hlankets or shawls over their shouL
-ders. . They were seated on the floor,
composedly awaiting the, apointed hour.= i
They seemed cheerfiil, - occasionally smil
ing, or conversing. together. The last
hour was occupied by Father Ravaux in
religious service, the prisoners followed
him m prayer. Their time- was thus oc- -
eupied until of execution.

Having then saiished our minds with Lhh caus , they I
will not be excited with wonder at seeing - indubitable
evidence of fertility of a soil,. whieltln oiar situations,
having the same general eharactetistics, dr at- least, nu
pearences.,. is entirely unrenamerative ex6pt as its prtil
ductiveness is - promoted by its artificial fe4tilizatiOn.
A few words about the quality and vate of this, land
for. cultivation, of which sum" have dee str t

O urfirst V isit way to William D. W ilso , in Fruklin
i
township, Gloucester county, who purchased son eeight
miles north of Milivide.. about three years ago, ; for rho
purpose 01a:stela balling a steam mill, rowork up the tim
ber into hpnber, to 'send oil' by the neW - railroad,aia well
its the firewood and coal, for which he brijit a track out,
mile and anal f long. Heals° furnished fa isteen miles of
the road' wi th ties, and Mid no doubt mil
it It the mill prof
itable. though his main object wits to Opt li farm, hav
ing become convinced that the soil was va,ry valuable for
cultivation: ;In this he has not, been disappointed, as
some of his cropeProve. For instance t the second time
a cropping, 300 bustieb l / 2 of potatoes on ono acres worth
no cents a bushel in the field. This yea!!. seven acres,
without manure, proditeed
.1:50 bushels of oats. ;Di one
flel d, do first. crop Was potatoes,planted athong the roots,
and yielded ";5 bitshels., The potatoes mere deg,' and
eat sown; and, yielded hi bushels ;at the Stubble
- ned'under and sown to buckwheat which yielded:ll%
bushels ; and then the ground :was , sowl,to clover 'and
timothy, which gave as a first erdp 2N - to is per acre.
The fertilizers applied to, thesecrops upere firiit,tishes
from clearings ; second, 225 pountli.of Superphosph ate
of limo : third. 21.00 pounds Peruviantirnao; and then 50
bashelsof slaked liMe has been spread 'pun. the clover
since it was mowed, and turned iteror Wheat. : ...

the present season, allindicate his laud its prodt4ctive as

i At Mary harrow's, ap old style jerseylwenniti farmer,
sieveral miles south of j.Nit:'W ilsoWs, we were sojatrtiett
firlv struck with the fine appearance of is thildlof corn,
that we stopped to inquire of the hired - Mau hoWdt was
produced. We found that the land had fen thelYear but

•• Yes, but you mauurtql high, we suppose? "; we said
interrogatively. -and got his reply :.

hadn't.but forty-one horse loads altogether, for 'A acres,
and we wanted the most on't for the trnek.'• :-.
The truck consisted Of beets, carrots, dabbagei melons,

the soil Wi).3 not unfertile, even unaided hy eloverothich
had fed. theecom, because the "truck pat t-ii'l had not been

Our next visit wasto the large farm 4a . Andrew -;t titharp,

Mr. Sharp commenced 'work here in D cembee, I.•'ssiS, on

Considerable part of the laud was cleared for the plow

crop mar be put in; from July 4th to ok; and yields from
20 to 30 bushels peracre. harvested-in November, when
the land being sowed with 150 pounds Of Peruvian guano i
and seeded with rye, yielded 12 to 15 buihels peraereand
