^S&imUmmi$ gmtmjj. Little Crow.—The Indian Leader in the

Northwest.

A correspondent of the World, gives the following interesting account of the leader of the Indians in the Northwest:

Little Crow is a nickname, conferred by the Chippewas upon his grandfather, (famed in the war of 1812), and descending thence to the Crow of to day. Uis real title with the literati of aboriginedom is Tah o ah-to-doo, or He of the Scarlet Tribe. The name of his band is Lightfooted Band, whether gained in pursuit of, or retreat from, the foe, is still a question of dispute with the Medi­cine Men. He is about fifty years of age— or medium height and spare figure. Of course he has high cheek bone3—what In» dian was ever known without them ? Face thin and cadaverous, and he has suffered much from si-kness ; he is now far from being in full health. At Fort Garry, the other day, in his council with Gov. Dallas, his chiefship was dressed in a block cloth coat, velvet collar. Ho had a breech clout of fine blue cloth, and around his wafct a costly shawl served the purpose of a sa.sh. Another shawl was converted into a turban.

Stcamboatlng under Difficulties.—A dry T ime on the St. Croix.

The following humorous article from-the St. Croix Monitor, published at Taylor's Falls, gives a fair description of steamboat-ing of the present day, anywhere nortiiof St. Louis.

The oldest inhabitant is called upon to say that he never knew the river so low) in many places grass is'growing in the path of the steamboat, and river men are facetiously talking of using the deserted channel for'ag­ricultural purposes. We recently made a trip on the Enterprise, for the purpose of making observations on the stage of the water, and correcting public opinion if g§ed be.,.-. We had heard, but had not credited it, that such boats as still kept on the liver, raised a great dust in their path. As we stepped on board ' tho Enterprise a sorry looking wight asked us if we are going up tho 'street.' Of course we did not see the point of the remark. Willow river bar, op­posite Hudson, was covered with a fine growth of grass, and extended within five rods of the Minnesota shore. All the cattle of Hudson were being pastured upon it.— At the narrowest part of the channel oppo­site the bar, tho depth of the water was found to be fourteen inches. As the boat drew eighteen inches, we anticipated some difficulty, and were, in fact, detained an hour or so. The mode of proceeding is quite novel. Two men waded forward with an anchor which they dropped in the middle of the stream. The crew,' and other well disposed persons, ourself included, then put the spikes in the capstan, and amused our­selves by slowly walking around it. Hav­ing thus wound the boat up to a navigable part of the stream, the anchor was taken on board, and we steamed merrily on to Still­water. Here we passed the H. S. Allen, which is now running between Prescott and Stillwater. As we passed on through the green isles of tho upper St. Croix, we be­came satisfied that any of the rumors about the low water was groundless ; saw no dust nor was the channel obstructed by pickerel recumbent across it, as the editor of the Polk County Press says in one of his sen­sation items. As to tho effect of the morn -

ing dew upon the navigation, the captain is . _ . , . , , . , . , , South to the wheat fields and corn fields of

CHICAGO, May 10,1861.

Mr B E A B SIR :—Being deprived of the use of my arms at present, by a severe at­tack of the rheumatism, I am compelled to avail myself of the services of an amanuensis in reply to your two letters.

It seems that some of mv friends are un­able to comprehend the difference between arguments used in favor of an equitable compromise with a hone of averting the hor­rors of war, and those urged in support of the Government and flag of our country, when war., is being waged against the United States with the avowed purpose of producing a permanent disruption of the Union and a total destruction of the Government.

All hope of compromise with the Cotton States was abandoned when they assumed the position that the separation of the Union was complete and final, and that they never would consent to a reconstruction in any contingency—not even if we would furnish them with a blank sheet of paper and per­mit them to inscribe their own terras.

Still the hope was cherished that reasona­ble and satisfactory terms of adjustment could be agreed upon with Tennessee, North Carolina and the border States, and that whatever terms would prove satisfactory to these loyal States would create a Union party in the cotton States which would be powerful enough at the ballot box to destroy the revolutionary government, and bring those States back into the Union by the voice of their own people. This hope was cherished by Union men north and south, and was never abandoned until actual war was levied at Charleston, and tho authorita­tive announcement made by the revolution­ary government at Montgomery, that the secession flag would be planted upon the walls of the Capitol at Washington, and a proclamation issued inviting th3 pirates of the world to prey upon the commerce of the United States.

These startling facts, taken in connection with the boastful announcement that the

ravages of war and carnage should be quickly transferred from the cotton fields of

never been deemed evidence of infidelity or political treachery, on the part of Clay and Webster, to the principles and organization of the old Whig party. Nor have I any apprehension that the 5rm and unanimous support which the Democratic leaders and masses are now giving to the Constitution and the Union will ever be deemed evidence of infidelity to Democratic principles, or a

of the Democratic party. If we hope to regain and perpetrate the ascendancy of our party, we should rr.rer forget that a maa cannot be a true Democrat unless he is a loyal patriot.

With the sincere hope that these, my convictions, may coincide with those of my friends, I am, very truly, yours,

the question in favor of the morning dew.— Just at nightfall we ran high and dry upon Mile Island bar. In vain we sent the anchors forward ; in vain we rushed around the capstan and pulled at the ropes. The anchors dragged, the boat remained firm-and so the captain determined to remain for the morning dew. We spent the night on the boat in pleasing converse making the best of our unlucky position. Nor was the conversation altogether of the humorous type, devoid of scientific thought. Assisted by the inventive genius of those around us, we devised a method of overcoming the ob­structions in the St. Croix and other rivers> which is simple, ingenious, and promises to be thoroughly effective. Suffice to say, that with the morning dew we floated off, and reached the Tails without further adven­ture.

He rode up and' down the ranks with his arm in a sling.— The tattered flag was born b y a Pennsylva­nia regiment at the battle of Trenton, 1777 and has been cherished in Harrisburg ever since that time. These veterans marched up to the Governor's room and tendered their services for the emergency. They

if any other and harder service was requir­ed of them they would cheerfujly attempt it. In a few appropriate words, they ad­dressed the Governor, and he accepted them*. The only favor they asked was to bo armed with the old flirit-iock muskets, such 'as they used to carry when they were young.

•It was a grand inspiring sight!—those old men, scarcely hoping to live through the war, their locks white with the frosts ef many winters, their frames bowed by age and long toil in thejourney of life, marched as briskly and accurately, to the drum and fife, as any of their grandsons could. They seemed almost carried back to the olden time, so inspirited was the occasion. When they came out of the Governor's room they marched, according to the old fashion, in single file. They were halted on the green. It was curious to modern ears to hear the order of the captain—so different from ou*

It was: 'By sections of two*, march;»instead of 'file right' or 'left,' it was 'right' or 'left wheel;' instead of the sharp, short, peremptors 'front,' it was 'left face.' So they marched down in the town, carrying the old tactics of the Revolution with them. They kept their places, and kept step and obeyed orders with* a precis* sion that showed that the drill they had gone through in those stirring times had gone not merely to the ear, but to the heart. Wherever they passed a squad of soldiers they were loudty cheered—'Three cheers for the veterans of 1812,' antl such lusty shouts as split the heaveas you never heard. They were observed by every one, and "Some would ask who they were. Their bowed4

forms, their gray heads, and the small and decayed enBign, told the whole story .'— Christian Instructor.

» Emigration l o Minnesota.

A correspondent of the New York Eve­ning Post, writing from Antwerp, Belgium, gives the following interesting information in regard to emigration from that port:

The number of emigrants who sailed from [Antwerp last year for America was but jsmall. This season, however, no less than

fill teen hundred have left this port for new homes in the New World. They are al­most entirely from the interior of German provinces, and are generally quite well off— one family recently taking with them half a million of francs. Almost all who have chosen this as theif point of embarkation, are going to St. Paul, as the State of Minne sota finds especial favor in their eyes. Of

j course this emigration is notonse extensive j a scale as in Ireland, but it embraces a class of persons fully as desirable—persons who add not merely individuals but wealth to our population.

the North, furnished conclusive evidence that it was the fixed purpose of the seces­sionists utterly to destroy the Government of our fathers, and obliterate the United States from the map of the world.

In view of this state of facts there was DUT ONE PATH OF D U T Y LEFT TO PATRIOTIC MEN. It was not a party question, nor a question involving partizan policy ; it was a question of Government or no Government, country or no country; and hence it became the imperative duty of every Union man, every friend of constitu tional liberty, to rally to the support of our common country, its Government and flag, as the only means of checking the progress of tho revolution and of preserving the union of the States.

I am unable to answer your question as to the policy of Mr. Lincoln and his Cabinet. I am not in their confidence, as you and the whole country ought to be aware. I am neither the supporter of the partisan policy, nor the apologist tor the errors of the Ad ministration. My previous relations to them remain unchanged ; but I trust the time will never come when 1 shall not be willing to make any sacrifice of personal feeling and party policy for the honor and integrity of my counrty

I know of no mode by which a loyal citi­zen may so well demonstrate his loyalty to bis country as by sustaining the flag, the Constitution and the Union, under all cir cumstanees and under every Administra tion (regardless of party politics) against all assailants, at home and abroad. THE COURSE OE CLAY A N D WEBSTER TOWARDS THE ADMINISTRATION OF GEN. JACKSON, IN THE D A Y S OF NULLIFICATION, PRESENTS A NO BLE*AND WORTHY EXAMPLE FOR ALL T R U E PATRIOTS.

At that very moment when that fearful crisis was precipitated upon the country, partizan strife between Whigs and Demo­crats was quite as bitter and relentless as now between Democrats and Republicans. The gulf which generated party leaders in dram. Looking out of the window, I those days was quite as broad and deep as * small company of men marching up the that which now separates the- Democracy Utreet, and bearing three colors; one a small from the Republicans. But an enemy arose j worn, and Uttered silk flag, sad the others in our midst, plotting the dismemberment \ o*w sad fresh. As tbey approached nearer,

T H B Wflsat CHOP nr IOWA.—From every

portion of the State we hear the most cheer­ing reports from the wheat crop. It will be quite as large in most localities as last year, and every farmer pronounces his erop to look "fine." How the actual yield per acre will turn out it is impossible yet to say, bift from the best accounts we have, it seems sure that it will, on the general average, Tall but little short in bushels of last year, which was a large yield. At least such are the reports almost unanimously given by the farmers themselves. The harvest will be mostly over by the end of next week, and another crop will be ready to fill the gran aries, which in many parts of the State are yet well|filled with lastyear's crop.

In the Minnesota Valley, as we before no* ted, it is estimated that 150,000 bushels of wheat are yet in store, after 177,000 had been deported. Supposing that the present har­vest in the Valley yields as many bushels as last year, that will give a total of about 325,-000 bushels to export this fall, should the water rise, for next spring. Our steamboat-men will have to bend all their energies to the task, and supply all the respectable fleet of boats and barges which w^re in use this se&S9D.—Du7mgue Times, 'l\th.
