Returning homeward, they arrived at Fort Totten on the evening of the 2d last, remained there one day,manner. and left on the morning of the 4th reach ed Fort Aberorombie on the evening of the 7th and left Sauk Centre, per stage, at two o'clock on Tuesday morning. Their teams will follow in a few days. On the night of the 1st, while on the Missouri cotfail, they were attacked by a small party of Yanktonnals Indians, be longing to "Se1 ting Bull's" band, who was reported to boon the other side of the river with about 150 wairiors. The guard discovered the attacking party and fired, and the fire was returned. The camp was aroused and a full volley given, when the red devils scattered. Immediate ly after the first attack was over, the ex plorers went to work and put their camp on a war footing. They were soon ready for almost any foroe of Indians. None of the party were injured, though one of the escort had his clothes riddled. The pur pose of these Indians is to attack unpro tected parties—on this occasion they met with a slight disappointment. Near the Missouri they killed'a huge buffalo, after an exciting chase. The head was brought bank, and wiU be left with the Minnesota Historical Society. Mr. Holmes informed n« that at Fort Stevenson they neither saw nor heard any thing of the party coming from the west ward under charge of Mr. Canfield. Mr. H. says that when ho left New York it wax the understanding of their house (Jay Cooke & Co.) that the two parties were to meet at Fort Stevenson. The comman dent at the post reported that no word from them had yet been received. Mr. Holmes and party were all well bronsed from their month's exposure to sun and wind, but were in good health and spirits. They bad a pleasant trip, and were in the main highly pleased with the country between the Red river and the Missouri. They say a railroad would be self-supporting.' The party took the afternoon tram for Minneapolis and St. Paul. Messrs. Holmes and Bayless will remain at the latter place until Friday, and then start for Chicago and New York. PERSONAL.—Gen. M. T.

His pulpit will be filled during his absence. Judge McKelvy returned on Tuesday from Duluth, where he had been holding a term of court. Dr. Wm. R.

Old men gazed, pane in hand, while blinking children toddled around grasping apiece from which after many efforts they had effeotually succeed ed in transferring the buck to different portions of their face. Several enterpris ing young men located at the corner of Washington avenue and St. Germain street kindly allowed passers-by to look through their glass which, however, they had "smoked too much,"—at least one individ ual thought so, who, attempting to rub off the superfluous darkness, got his fingers badly tarred. But "to return to our sub ject." Thefir**evidence of contact was aboutfifteenminutes before four o'clock. The sky was almost clear, the light clonds interfering scarcely at all,*and the opportu nity for observing the phenomenon was in every Way good. At the time of the groat eat obscuration, but a small disc of the sun was visible, the appearance of the atmos phere was like that of hte twilight, though of a somewhat different tinge, and the air had the chill feeling of evening. This con tinued for but a short time. The fowls of this locality, better informed than those in many other places, were not lured into re tiring at that unfashionable hour} neither did the cows oome heme expecting at five o'elock to get their bucket of bran. They know too much about astronomy for that up this way. —The restrictions Ot the game law hav ing been removed on the 1st inst., cur sportsmen have been. shouldering their ar quebuses and blazing away at the prairie chickens.

MuOlkea I Ton Barnnxaon.—The trance girl of Kentucky prophesied the eclipse and said the sun would never shine clearly again. She died. A wide-awake gitl of Minneso ta says that there is no plaoe in the coun try equal to Pickit & Abbott's for buying goods at a bargain, and prophesies that when their new stock of goods arrive, (for which Mr. Tiokit Las just started East) a half-dozen new clerks will'be needed to at tend to the rush of customers. That girl is sensible and still lives. RAILROAD BUSINESS.—The Minneapolis Tribune gives the passenger receipts of the St. Paul and Pacific depot at that place for the month of July at $2,908.92. At the ?-ic*no.rt Tolttiao St Co., whisky, St. Cloud depot the receipts for the same time were $2,807.69, which shows that in point of travel, St. Cloud is rapidly pulling up on its down-river neighbors. The freight received at Minneapolis amounted to 1.039,061 pounds at St. Cloud, 1,643, 810—an exoess at this plaoe of over half a million pounds. St. Cloud is emphatically, as Ossian E. Dodge said:' The liveat old town in the State." GOOD HOUSE.—Attention is directed to the new advertisement of Spicer & Car lisle, manufacturers and dealers in furni ture. They have sucoeeded in establish, ingalarge trade throughout the entire northern part of the State, and have facili ties for doing the very best work. They can supply any kind of fine furniture as cheap as it can bo bought in New York, freight alone added. In, I IMPROVEMENTS.— Ottensmeyer's new brick building on St. Germain street is rapidly approaching completion. I The heavy iron columns in the front give it a substantial appearance. C. Schnlten has purchased the lot ad joining, on which the frame millinery store stands. The price paid is that which rules along that street, $50 per foot front. Mr. C. has also purchased the right to the west wall of Mr. O., and will soon commence the erection of a large brick building tc be used as a drug store. The new parochial houso for ROT. Stu kenkemper is being rapidly pushed for ward. Some fine mason work is being done. GRANITE QUARRY.—To settle a dispute as to the proper name for the St. Cloud gran ite quarry—from which the blocks are be ingtaken for the S. Custom House st St Paul, and which has furnished material used in the Union Schoolbuilding, Burbank ft Powell's block, and others of the princi pal buildings in town—we would say that the land on which this quarry lies was en tered thirteen years ago by Dr. A. T. Up ham. He sold stone from it every year until the tract was disposed of to the com pany which now owns it. The quarry has been and still is known as "Upham's quarry." To tan LADIES.—Mrs. Ottensmeyer has determined to close out entirely her pres ent stock ef millinery goods, within tho next sixty gay4, as at the end ot that time she intends) moving into her new store, just building^ and will then put in a com plete new stock. She therefore offers all articles now on hand at cost price. These were purchased in the spring, and are choice and fashionable. Trimmed huts at from 75 cents to SI. Bonnets, frames velvets, ribbons, fine Frenchflowers,fancy goods, trimmings, and everything in the line of millinery goods at the same rate. Call and examine. Ladies will find rare bargains in just such goods as they want. Newgoods FnoM WHITE EARTH.—A private letter from the Chippewa Reservation at White Earth says that crops there are looking well and will turn out first-rate. Toma toes, cabbage and other garden vegetables also look promising. The Indians have had some scares about the Sioux, but have quieted down again. GREENLEAI PRACTICE.—The Forest City Kews, speaking of Chas. B. Howell, Esq., of Greenleaf, Says: "He is running a fine land office practice, and we are pleased to see that he stands so high in tho communi ty." Mr. Howell is a lawyer of expert- enee and abilityj and the several spent by him in the General Land Office have given him a special insight into the workings of land law. We would com mend him to all having business at Green leaf or in that vicinity. —Edgar Nash, of St. Paul, has entered suit againstS. S. Merrill, of the Milwau kee and St. Paul Railroad, for $60,000 damages, growing ont of the arrest of Mr. Nash in connection with the famous Wood trial (the lost $6000.)

OREEIILEAF, MlNN., Aug 3 1869 EDITOR JOURNAL.—NOW that people can get through the "Big Woods" by rail, they come out 10 the "Big Prairie" in large numbers. Many of them expect to find GOVERNMENT LANDS Near the railroad, or near the Greenleaf Und office. But they do not find them. Those who would not bravo the. hardships Of thefrontierand push on ahead of rail roads, must not expect, they can remain whose frontier hardships are unknown till railroads allow easy access to what was frontier till the prospect of a railroad made thefrontiertoblossom like the rose. NEW KAIL nODTK. A petition has been forwarded to the Post Office Department asking the estab lishment of a mail route and a daily mail from Greenleaf to the town ofLitchfield, on the railroad, ten miles distant.

DR SHEPPARD, A physician from Nova Scotia, has opened an office in Greenleaf. UNPLKA8ANT PREDICAMENT. The people of the territory given on the maps as Lincoln county, but which is real ly apart of Renville county, are practi cally men and women "without a country.'' The Renville county officers put themselves on their dignity, and assuming to know the facts and the law in the matter, and acting against the acts of the Legislature, the de cisions of court and the opinion of the At torney General, they refuse in all official acts to recognize Lincoln county. I hear they are beginning to relax a little the rigorous rules they hud down. The Regis ter of Deeds refused to record conveyances of land. A friend of mine sent a deed to be recorded. The Register returned the deed, but kept the money sent as payment of fees for his "trouble." He certainly Will have "trouble" if he does not change his course. MUSCULAR THEOLOGY. Recently at a religious gathering at Steesville, Meeker county, John Jones committed an assault and battery on Sam uel Pancake, because, as some allege, the latter was about joining the Methodist church, while-Pancake tried to argue with hisfistthat Pancake shouldjoin the Baptist church.

It is hoped that he will find sufficient encouragement to induce him to 'remain and supply that important point, recently vacated by Rev. G. I. Wood. We understand that the congregation is much pleased with Mr. Tompkins, and that he will remain at this plaoe. The following is from the same paper: Rev. C. 8. Harrison, on a visit to Minne sota, spent two Sabbaths With the church of Paynesville, where he commenced his ministry. This church have recently lost their pastor, father Trembly. As the church was not large enough to hold the crowds that gathered, service was held in a grove, and eleven members received into, the church.

EoiTon JOURNAL—The "Letter from thcSputh," by "Ion" la some points interesting. It interested me that he pre ferred writing to the chase, or to danolng. llut there was a drawback to my satisfac tion. He speaks of the whisky ring in a way one does not like. He pronounces the whisky "good to drink." But be knows that moderate drinkers supply the t.rmy|of drunkards with recruits. Every drunk ard in the land was once a moderate drink er. Ho knows that whisky leads to crime and to perdition. He must have seen wrecks of otherwise good men, ruined by whisky. I8 whisky good to drink I an swer, No! No! no! Oh, no! He says, "It strengthens." Yes, it does, about no much as the whip strengthens the horse. But whisky really weakens. See that trembling man. His nervous system is fearfully weakened. What did it Whis ky. Ho says, "it makes you eat well." And yet he has seen numbers of whisky men whose appetites were almost destroy ed by whisky. He says, "it makes yon sleep well in a hot night" Alas! the sleep superinduced by whiaky is not nat ural, is not good. He says, "it sparkles with a transparency of color highly com mendable." He knows that the good book says "Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his color in the cup, when it moveth itseif aright." "Ion" speaksjjof the whisky drinking favmer. He knows that oven if the old farmer does drink whisky, be is not improved by it. He knows that many very intelligent men would think that the "rosy cheeked daugh ter" could not be a very desirable compan ion in after life as a wife. Few whisky drinking men would desire to have whisky drinking wives or whisky drinking daugh ters. He tells us that Mr. Walker paid the collector "fifteen thousand dollars tax on six hundred and eighty barrels of whisky," and that Gen. Hobson said he was collect ing one hundred thousand dollars a month in the 4th Revenue District of Ky. and that distillers in that district would pay this year, five hundred thousand dollars revenue tax. It is referred to as though this money would be an advantage to the Government. "Ion" has thus given us fig ures on one side, but he cannot tell how much this whisky will takefrom the reve nue in suppressing crime caused by it. To say that the Government will have to pay out half a million of dollars extra in pun ishing crime caused by this very whisky, and in sustaining officers, is to say little. It cannot, be said how many reputations will be blasted for life how many murders it will lead to how mueh lioentiousness will be caused by it. Oh, no the statis tics cannot tell us that. Such information must be reserved for the day of judg ment. "Ion" writes well on a bad subject. It doesone good to meet with one who can write. "Ion," let me entreat you to write for the good of the people. Do not, my dear sir, encourage people to drink whisky. VITA. OBITUARY. Died, in this city on the 10th inst., after a brief illness, Mrs. Anna B., wife of Kobt. L. &cott, aged 21 years, 7 months and 21 days. The sudden death of Mrs. Scott has cast a gloom around and made many sad hearts amid tho large circle of her friends in this community. She possessed to an extraor dinary degree those traits and qualities of heart and mind which won the confidence and esteem of all who knew her, and en deared her to all those favored with an in timate acquaintance with her. While society mourns the loss of such, there must be a feeling of gloom and deso lation within the domestic circle deprived of one so honored and loved, and who made home always attractive and pleas ant. Butfor these bereaved and sorrowing ones there is comfort and hope. The com fort, of a sincere and heartfelt sympathy is assuredly theirs and there is comfort to the living in the joyful hope for those who die in the Lord and who have the promise of a blessed resurrestion and a glorious immortality. She departed hence in faith of the crucified Saviour, expressing on her sick bed the anxious desire that she could join the worshiping assembly in God's house, in the participation of the means of grace which the Saviour appoint ed, whereby to nourish unto everlasting life. May she rest in peaoe, and awake in a joyful and glorious resurrection, and be received into the heavenly mansions of her ascended Lord and Saviour. S. MARRIED! At the residence of the bride's uncle, in Davenport, Iowa, Aug. 1st, by Rev Seeher, Mr. CHARLES T. SMITH, of St. Cloud, Minn., to Miss RHODA A. RIPENBPBO, of Freetown, New York. Although Charley took his many friends nere by surprise, yet they recovered suffi ciently on his return to wish himself and bride long years of joy and prosperity. In his own happiness, he did not forget to leave a choice package of cake with the printer for whioh, thanks. .•—•••• Fon RENT.—A good store-room in the best business part of the oity.

COUNTRY ORPERS Attended to promptly, and specially solic ited Factory in lower Town, near the Sens JrW»y QTAJ\)J% MINK nl -•-7.. Grovenor & Co. i\re receiving now-a-days largo amount of reapers, mowers, horse rakes, &c. for thecomingharvest. Amongst them they hare the Hubbard Combined Reaper and Mower, manufactured by Younglove & Massey, Cleveland, Ohio, which is gotten up on an entirely new principle, something that has always been needed to make a perfect combined reaper. It has a fast motion for mowing and a slow motionfor reaping it is double geared, so., that when one part is at work the otherjs not, and can be changed by the driver by just shifting a lever. It must be seen to be appreciated, and all the farmers^hat look at it say it is "the" machine. All of the Hubbard Mowers are mode with that gear this year, so that farmers who do not have grain to cut this year can get the mower, and then get the reaping attachment next year. For a single light mower ihey have the Meadow King, formerly Theyer's L-on Mower, which is all steel and iron except the tongue and whiifletrces, and is so con structed that the pitman is always on line with the sickle, no matter how far the cut ter bar is raised or lowered. The eim plicity and durability of it commends it self to every one. It took the first premi um at the State Fair at Minneapolis last fall, as also did the Hollingsworth Sulky Rake which they have for sale. Theypro pose to farmers to-put themin competition with any other mower and rake made in the United States, and keep the one that does the best work. The New Yorker Self Rake Reaper has its usual large' number of sales this year withthisfirm. There aremore of them sold through the Sauk Valley than of any other reaper in the market. ^Thexombined Self "Rake Kirby Reaper was introduced by thefirmthrough this section last year, and comes well recom mended by all who have ever seen it used as the "Little Kirby" which is Hght strong and Tory durable. I The Littie Champion Hand and Self Ra* king Reaper wjth a^pamtejoint^bkr, nmwing attachment, is the ughtest draft machine in theworld, cuts six feet in reap ing, four feet lour inches in mowing, and is very simple and handy in raising ex low ering the cutler bar in grass sad grain. They have the J. I. Case: Sweepstake Separators with Woodbury Mounted Power, Climax Power and Pitts or Carey Power manufactured at Racine, Wis: This thresher has more sales by many hundreds each year than any other machine made in the United States, because it will do more and better work, thus making it a desirable and profitable one for the farm-" ers and also for the man who owns the machine. This thresher with Woodbury power also took the first premium at the State Fair last fall. This firm has the largest supply of ex tras for all of their machinery that is kept in Northern Minnesota, as can be seen by going in and looking on their shelves and through the house. It is best for the farmer to buy a machine where he can get repairs and extras for it when needed., The business of thefirmis doubling it self each year, having been started three years ago, until now it is acknowledg ed to be the leading house in the agricul tural business of Upper Minnesota. Their large warehouse is crowded now with ma chines ordered by the farmers for this year, and as they never get on an over stock of the standard machines, orders should be given at once, so as to secure them to be delivered in time for use.
