Ilfir The President's Message will be
telegraphed to the press on the day it is
delivered, probably Monday next. No
copies will be . sent out in advance, as the

lir It is believed that the Indiana
Legislature, which meets in January,
will elect Jesse D. Bright United States
Senator for the short term, and Thos.
A. Hendricks for the long term, begin
ning 4th -March, 1863. It wilibe a cu
rious spectacle to see . a Senator returned
to a seat from which he was expellel
for alleged acts of disloyalty to his go
vernment, but there are some notable
precedents in history, not the least is
John Wilkes, who was repeatedly ex
pelled by the British House of Com
mons, and as often returned by his con
stituents.•
Gir It is announced that the distribu
tion of the prize awarded to the com
petitors of the International Exhibition

and it is expected that the arrangements
will be of a most effective character.

Congress from Indiana, had a, personal
encounter last week in Indianapolis
with a regular army officer. lie called
the officers lazy hirelings. The officer
said be was a liar, when Voorhees struck
him. The officer then gave Voorhees
such a flogging that he was compelled
to take his bed.
o• The President is busily engaged
in the preparation of•his annual message.

THE hi 'swoon inIiAGRE4 :- - -The Min
nesota Pioneer contains the:following
particulars of the trials before - a com
missioner of the "mulatto, mixed-bloods
and Indians" engaged in the Sionx:(ln.
dian) raids. Four hundred and ninety
eight cases have been disposed of. At
Camp Sibley a tent served as Court
Room. As many as forty cases were
tried in a day. The prisoners were
brought in chained to ether by the feet
in pairs, in some cases eight at a time,
and the charges, which were preferred
by General Sibley, read to them through
the interpreter, Antoine Frenier, and
thei after being exhorted to tell the
truth, and not equivocate, each was
asked as to the exteUt of his participa
tion in the outrages, and if necessary
witnesses were called against him.
It was proved on one old cut nosed
Indian that on the occasion, he had shot
a white man, and butchered, with his
knife, eleven women and four children,
and another, that he had killed nineteen.
Many of those engaged in the Patville
murder have been tried. ° Patville start
ed from Joe Reynold's place, just above
Red Wood, for New Ulm, on the morn
ing of the outbreak, with three young la
dies and two other men, and on the way
were attacked by the Indians. Patville
was killed near the wagon, and the
other men at the edge of the woods
while trying to escape. One of the
girls was wounded, and the three were
taken prisoners and brought to Red
Wood. Here the three were all abused
that night by the Indians ; one, a girl
of fourteen, by seventeen of the wretch
es, and wounded the young lady to such
an extent that she died that night. The
two other young ladies were reclaimed
at Camp Release, apd sent sto their
friends, after suffering indignities worse
than death, and at which humanity
shudders and sickens.
They attacked one party, and killed
all the men, and then one of them caught
hold of a young girl, to take her - an his
property, when the mother resisted, and
endeavored to pull her away. The In
dians then shot the mother dead, and
wounded the girl, who fell upon the
ground apparently lifeless. One In
dian thought she was dead, and told her
first captor to rise her clothes, which he
attempted to do. Modesty, strong in
death, revived and the girl attempted to
prevent it but as she did so, the other
Indian raised his tomahawk and dashed
out her brains.
An old man, shrivelled to a mum.
my, one of the criers on the Indian
camp, was also tried, and two little boys
testified against him. The old wretch
was made to stand up, looking cold and
impassable, and as stolid as a stone, the
boys likewise standing, placed opposite,
pzing at each other fora moment, when
one of the boys said : "I saw that man
shoot a man while he was pn his knees
at prayer," and the other boy said : "I
saw him shoot my mother."

selling at one dollar and ten cents per
gallon by the cargo.. Benzine, which
was a - drug in the market at 84 cents
per gallon about the time when coal oil
was selling at 32 cents is now selling as

of murdering her husband, and sentenced

James occasions no little astonishment,
inasmuch as he professed to defend the

HOW STABLE AREMONARCHIES ?-The
kingdom of Greece is the fifth monarchy
which has disappeared during the last
few years. King Otho represents the
tenth sovereign family sent into exile
following the Wass, of Sweeden, the
Bourbons of Spain, those of Naples and
Parma, the house of Este of. Modena,
that of Don Pedro in Portugal, the Bour
bona of France, the d'Orleans and the
Grand Ducal family of Tuscany. These
ten families reckon more than ninety
members, without including the- hus
bands and wives belonging to other
sovereign houses.
Cr A correspondent with the army
near Corinth writes : "There are more
white slaves in the South than is gener

boys in our regiment as white as I am—
not a kink in their hair. Their mother
is here also : she is almost white. The
master is the father• to one of the boys,
the master's son father to the other, and
yet this mother and her sons were to be
sold South when they made their escape
to our army. They lived near Rienzi.
How any reasonable man could uphold
such a system is beyond my comprehen
sion. 4.
Er Richmond is the best flour market
in the South. Her mills are as famous
as, those of Rochester, N. Y., and yet, a
week or two ago, flour was selling in
Richmond at 827 a barrel ; white wheat
at $4 a bushel ; red at $3 95 ; unbolted
corn•meal at $2 a bushel, and bran at
GO cents. With such prices ruling in
the best market of the Confederates,
and that, immediately after harvest, the
ilrospect for the winter and spring
months is not the most cneerful they
could contemplate.

AN INTERVIEW WITH GENERAL BRAGG'S
WIFE,—The Weitzel expedition from
New orleans to Thibodeaux came upon
the plantation of General Bragg. An
interview with Mrs. Bragg is thus de
scribed
In the vicinity of Thibodeaux is situ
ated the plantation of Major General
Bragg. It, of course, attracted the at
tention of our soldiers, and his negroes
seemed to have a very intelligent idea
of the relation their master stood to the
national troops. As our soldiers ad.
vanced, Lieutenant Colonel Warner, of
the lath Connecticut, received word
from Mrs. Bragg that she would like to
have a guard to protect her property.
This request was promptly complied
with, and when Colonel Warner came
up, two of his regiment were pacing qui
etly before the door of the mansion.—
They had, however, arrived too late to
save the property entire. The negroes
had taken the advantage of the opportu
nity to break open the closets, invade
the bureaus, rip open the feather and
moss beds, in search of treasure, and
otherwise destroy valuables in the dif
ferent rooms.
Upon Col. Warner's appearance, Mrs.
Bragg, with some excitement, com
menced expressing "her mind." I
knew this lady many years ago, long be
fore she was married, and few women
were handsomer, or more eloquent with
the tongue. I can therefore readily
imagine that Colonel Warner got the
worst of it, so far as words were con
cerned ; at any rate, I venture to remark
that she had the "last say." Col. War
ner suggested that it was a sad time.—
The lady said, "No one asked the na
tional troops to-come in this vicinity,
and why were they there V' "Because,"
said the colonel, "our duty, and my , da
ty, which I -learned from your once hon
ored husband, taught me to follow my
flag, and defend every portion of my
country." Mrs. Bragg insisted that
"the Yankees were intruders and inva
ders of the Sonth."
The Colonel replied in courteous lan
guage, that he could not understand his
position in that light, and incidentally
remarked that, as an old friend of Gen.
Bragg's, he would have been pleased to
see him. At this allusion the lady's
dark and sparkling eyes flashed, and she
said, "If you would see General Bragg,
you should meet him in the West and
not here on his plantation." The Colo
nel, with a little malice, replied that
"our Western troops had been trying to
meet General Bragg, but that their ef
forts had not been altogether success
ful." Hereupon the lady demanded pro
tection, and getting in a carriage, rode
beyond the immediate lines of our troops
—sad, no doubt, to feel that her hus
band. and the trusted friend of General
Taylor, and the hero of one of the best
fought battles on our continent, was
now fleeing out of Kentucky a defeated
rebel.

the two penny papers to three cents.
