Resolved, by the Legislature of the State

Whereas, The plains of Dakota, lying up
on the immediate western border of this

and hostile tribes of Sioux Indians, who are
believed to be in secret, if not open alliance
with the Annuity Sioux that perpetrated
the late horrid massacres upon the peaceful
settlers, whereby more than five hundred
persons have beeu butchered or hurried into
a captivity worse than death : and
Whereas, There is, upon the western bouu
dary line of Minnesota, which extends from
43 degrees 30 minutes to the 39th parallel
of latitude, being an actual border of more
than 500 miles in length—but one fortifica
tion (Fort Abercrombie), which is totally
inadequate to the complete defence of that
extended frontier ; therefore,
Resolved, That thepermauent location of
a large number of troops, upon our western
border, is absolutely essential to the securi
ty of our people, and the future growth and
prosperity of this State ; and that addition
al and strong defences should be construct,
•d, both north and south of Fort Abercrom
bie on our western boundary line.
Resolved, That the security of our people
against the recurrence of savage atrocities

the Military Department of the Northwest,
already created ; and that we most earnest
ly urge the same upon the attention of the

Sir: Your favor of the 10th was re

state that, as I shall move today with my
whole command, on the South side of the

cort furnished to Birch Coolie at present,
and besides, it would be physically impos
sible to remove the bodies now, as they are
ol course in an advanced stage of decom
position.
It will be gratifying to the friends ol the
victims to receive the assurance which I
have received with much pleasure, that the
graves were not disturbed by the Indians.
This information I have from the half

truce.
Very respectfully,

The same beligerent feeling manifested
by Indians of the Upper Mississippi appear

Mr. Rice discovered and immediately took
Measures to neutralize. His presecce there
at the time was both opportune sad fortun
ate.
A messenger was sent to Mr. Rice to the

with the appointment of the Legislature, as
one of the Commissioners in the late Chip
pewa disturbance. He is here ready to
perform any service in his power to protect
our people in the Indian trouble.

their teams, or horses that there is no longer
any fear of having them imr-essed into gov

All teams required by government for
transportation are now regularly employed
by the Quartermaster—-none are pressed.
The friends of Lieutenant Samuel Ragnet,
in this city, will be glad to learn that he

DR. UNDIGRWOOD,
Who is so celebrated for his science, skill, and success
in trea ing DISEASES of LONG STANDING, and who
has had an expecience in an extensive practice for
Thirty Years, arrived in Saint Paul, and may be
consulted at his Rooms iu INGKRSOLL’S BLOCK, for
a short time. ouly.
CHRONIC DISEASES of every grade aud character,
whether requiring medical or surgical treatment POSI ■
TIVKLY and PERMANENTLY cured, when not clear
ly beyond ihe reach of science and human ekiil.
’ Dr. Underwood treats all diseases on reguiar scien
tific principles, as recognized by the medical profession
both in Europe and America, and hence does not use or
deal in those pretended new and never failing reme
dies—specifics. inhaling vapors, and clairvoyant pre
scriptions—which are so ostentatiously paraded be
fore the public by those impudenttraveling quacks, and
money tleecing empyrics, ntne-teuths of whom were
never inside of a medical college.
Patients afflicted with, or laboring under diseases of
long standing, can consult Dr. U. with the most confi
dent hope and expectation of being perfectly cured, or
receiving with unerring rertain'y all tbe relief that the
highest skill, the mosi judicious and scientific treatment
can pwitively bestow. aug29.diwtonovß
