CORRESPONDENT'S TRAIN.

The Winnebagoes St. Paul, Minnesota. The following is an extract from a letter from a gentleman in St. Paul, Minnesota, to a young, gentleman of this city, giving a brief account of the departure of the Winnebago Indians: Since I wrote you last, I have been up the Minnesota River. I went from here to Shakpe, (6) and staid there one week, and . while I was there I enjoyed myself very well. The entire tribe of Winnebagoes,- (or Ru-tu-ba-goes,, as they are vulgarly called,) arrived there a day or two after I did. They remained four days, dancing the Begging Dance and the War Dance. Shakpe presented quite a lively appearance that week, at any rate. But there are men in Shakpe, as well as in other places, that cannot withstand the temptation to make money, and consequently about one half of the tribe were gloriously drunk, to the no little consternation of the quiet citizens, the first night. The next day the citizens proceeded to the odious place, and knocked in the heads of the whisky barrels, and "spilled it on the ground." .They then tried to set fire to it, but it was no go 'twoldn't burn. The departure was a sight which I shall long remember. The whole number was about 2000 souls. They embarked in canoes, taking their tents and dogs with them. The bosom of the beautiful Minne-so-ta, as far as the eye could reach, was dotted with human heads, so thick that to count the stars would be far easier than to attempt to enumerate those untutored savages. Ah, F., one could not help thinking, as he stood on the bank of that beautiful stream, and took in at a glance, the remnant of that once most powerful tribe of the North American Continent, that 'Westward the star of the Republic takes its way." Yes, less than 1000 small log canoes contained them all. Scarce 4 years have rolled by when the Da-ko-tas were crowded back towards the Missouri, and the land is now all claimed by the hardy pioneers, who have chosen to make their homes in this "God's own favored land," and now the handful of Winnebagoes occupy too much room", and the emigrant cries for more land, more land ! I felt sad when I saw the Da-ka-toes leave their favorite and their native land, and not a few left with tears in their eyes; and the sorrowful look, as they came up to take their leave of me their lo-du, (for I speak their tongue almost as fluently as my own.) I shall not soon forget. Yes, F., even a savage is capable of shedding tears, and I could not suppress the feelings of pity that would rise unbidden in my breast, when I saw those decaying creatures shove from shore and paddle leisurely up the stream. " . . There were several Sioux and Chippewas in town yesterday, and I assure you they attracted considerable attention, and several looked for a repetition of one of those scalping scenes which not unfrequently occurred when St. Paul was a mere village; but nothing of the kind happened they took each other by the hand, and mingled together through the streets, talking to one another by signs. The Pie Question. Editors Locomotive. The accompanying note, with the pies, was put in my care for trans mission to the Horticultural Committee. Being disappointed in obtaining a suitable messenger, we ate the pies, and send the note for publication in the Locomotive, hoping the Committee will give the pie maker credit for the will, if not for the deed. Gentlemen of the Committee. Some weeks since you requested the ladies of our city to furnish flowers for inspection at your semi-monthly meetings. I am one of these practical women, who thinks no amount of flowers will ever compensate a man for a poor dinner,' or no dinner at all. That woman who, possibly having no taste for floweres, yet looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness, is the one I admire. Her children will be more likely to arise and call her blessed, and her husband to praise her, if she can make a fine loaf of bread, a good pie, and first rate coffee, than if she understood all the jargon in Mrs. Lincoln Phelps' Botany: I take the Liberty here of saying, I have ever felt mortified at the Agricultural Society, offering premiums for the display of our sex on horseback; and in saying this I believe I express the opinion of a majority of the ladies in Marion County. In the hope, therefore, that you will hereafter stimulate us to exertion after those acquirements which add to the comforts of home,' I present for practical inspection, two pies, of pie-plant, purchased of Birkenmayer. We who profess to understand the culinary Science amid our flour, have not been able to decide whether the pie is better to be made of cooked or uncooked fruit. Different pie makers have different opinions, and we await your decision with anxiety. I know which is most economical, and propose, if agreeable, to send a disertation on pie-making to your next meeting, for the benefit of young housekeepers. Fully believing, that however your eyes may be tilled with visions of flowers, and women on horseback, kitchen accomplishments will suit you best when hungry. I subscribe myself, Utility. Messrs Editors. Passing from the Bellefontaine freight depot, a few days since, up to Washington street, on the west side of Alabama street, I saw filth enough in the gutters and alleys to produce the most malignant forms of disease you ever read of. The awful smell and appearance of the contents of the gutter, as I passed it, made my stomach revolt, and inoluntarily endeavor to throw off the pernicious poison inhaled from this fruitful source of disease and death. Sevastopol, with all its blood and flesh left on the battle field to decompose, is not worse, so far as cause is concerned, than is this Alabama street gutter. Sevastopol has more of it, but not better adapted to the destruction of human life, than we have in this single gutter, to say nothing of the filth and putrefaction of decaying vegetable and animal matter, in the alleys within these limits. Where is Jake? the great Street Commissioner, whose work on Washington, and A 1 1 - I I ' r . u.-w uui tal no, not streets, nas mane ins name vnmor quite so fast; a little notorious, perhaps, would be j

more applicable. Has he gone to the Springs for his health? ! or is he enjoying the luxury f of some cool shade, these very hot and sultry days? Come, Jake, take an umbrella, suited to your dimensions, and walk along by the side of this' foul ditch of putrefaction, and then, wade into it. The cholera will soon be with us, and it delights to revel in such places; but, you can prevent it, Jake, by a timely application of "de shobel and de hoe." Wade into it, Jake, and save some poor fellow creature from the dreadful effects of cholera, and then your name shall again appear in the papers as the "Good Samaritan." Veritas. Mr. Editor: In your last number I find a communication signed G., who, we presume, knows nothing of the life and business of clerks, or is a decided "old fogy." s". I believe I am safe in saying there are no dry good merchants in this city who-are paid for lights by remaining open beyond 6 o'clock. G. has exhibited a gross misconception of the morality of the clerks of this place, generally. Talks of turning them loose, as a hunter would a

pack of hounds! Young men who would, if given a few moments respite, during the hours allotted to man for rest, corrupt the morals of the whole community. This accusation is both unjust nnd untrue. For one I am willing to compare notes with G., or any other man of as little observation, to see who visits most houses of ill-fame, Theatres fcc, men in other business, or dry goods clerks. Now, sir, letdoors be closed at 6 o'clock, and we will guaranty as large an amount of sales as at present; for those that wish to purchase will do so during the usual bu siness hours.

State Fair. The Annual Address at the In diana State Fair, for 1855, will be delivered by Professor J. J. Mapes, of New Jersey. -This gentleman holds a high rank among the scientific Agriculturists of the United States. As there has been good crops, we anticipate the largest collection of people at the next State Fair, ever assembled in the state. Manufacturers would do well to commence preparing articles for exhi bition. Be Careful. Atthis seasonof the year, when the weather is so warm, and fruit aud vegetables so abundant, persons cannot be too careful of their health. Moderation in eating, is the best method of preserving health. We anticipate a sickly summer, from the fact that a thick green scum forms on water standing in the- gutters for a short time ; and the rank vegetation caused by the rains for the past few weeks. Let those that would preserve their health, be careful of their diet. i ,C2rTlie visitors of the Sahhatli Sclim-ils bv the Third Preshvlorinn Cl,.,,-r.r. r.rt f.,r ' t i o ,ioo i- li mi. r i 1 j.u.j,f,uutUu.SM..10o,, zi.oouto! scnoo,. , moking 2,784 children m the city of a suitable age to attend Sabbath Schools,

jCSThe opening of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad from St. Louis to Vincennes, will throw the great bulk of travel between St. Louis : and the East, and South-east, through this city. iThe St. Louis Intelligencer gives a table of distances from that city to the principal points, from which we condense the following:

FROM ST. LOUIS TO Vincennes via O. & M. Road, Evansville, ' Evansville, via the Ohio River, Indianapolis, via 0. A M. Road Louisville, via Indianapolis, Cincinnati, " " hours. MILES. 147 198 400 278 386 . 388 559 644 1,116 1,247 963 1,029 9 24 12 15 15 Cleveland, " Cleveland, " Chicago . New York, via Indianapolis, New York, " Chicago and Dunkirk, Baltimore via Indianapolis, . Philadelphia via " By the Dunkirk route it is 131 miles nearer to New York or Boston by this city than by Chicago, and by the Buffalo route the difference in the distance is the same. To Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Louisville, or any point south of the Lakes, the distance by Chicago is so much greater that there will be no competition between the routes. This is an important line for this city, and the tide of travel thrown through our city by it will be apparent at the Union Depot. Night Watch. It will be seen by the proceedings of the Council, that the Judiciary com; mittee have been instructed to report an ordinance reducing the Watch one-half, by a vote of ten for, to four against. The expediency of this measure, with the present and prospective con dition of the finances of the city, has been so apparent to us, that we were surprised that a majority of the council did not at once see it. By this reduction, $360 a month will bo saved the city, and at any time that it is thought necessary or expedient, on a day's notice, the number can be increased. As the Tempearnce Law has nearly abolished rioting, drunkenness, and rowdying, it is nothing more than right that the tax payers should get some of the promised benefit of it, by reducing the expense of the city police force it will be the most effectual argument that can be advanced in favor of the new liquor law. jtSTltisa singular fact that the markets of Indianapolis are supplied with most of their vegetables from the neighborhood of the Falls of the Ohio. Indianapolis is situated in the centre of one of the richest agricultural districts in the country, capable of producing everything to an almost unlimited extent, while the country around the Falls is generally poor in soil and has an immense home market to supply. JV. A. Ledger. It is a fact that a large portion of the early vegetables sold in this city, are brought from the Ohio river. They can be bought for one-half the price asked for tlvem here. Vegetables of every kind have been bringing Caliornia prices in our markets this spring, notwithstanding the hard times and the plentiful season ,iC3?The boys in the 7th Ward are determined not to be behind any other part of the city in the way of improvement jtvJ enterprise. They Called a meeting for last evening, to form a fire Company, and make arrangements for purchasing one of the best , Engines in the Union. That Ward is now densely settled, and the large number of machine shop and freight depots, makes an engine in their vicinity very important. Success to the 7th ward Company. later from Europe. By the arrival of the Argo at Halifax on the 16th, news was received to the 4th inst. The following is a brief summary of important events by telegraph. ; The news of Lord Raglan's death was received from General Simpson, on the 30th. Some days pervious Lord Raglan had been suffering r j: i .-i . t-. i w .. . iroin inuisposuion, out until 4 r. ju. on the ssolli, his disease progressed to the satisfaction of his medical attendant. Afterwards alarming symptoms developed themselves, attended with diffi culty of breathing, which gradually increased. At 5 o'clock P. M., he was unconscious. From this period he gradually sunk, until 25 minutes before 9, at which time he died. It is stated that Major General Simpson has succeeded Lord Raglan, pro tern. Admiral Seymour, who was wounded on board the ship Plymouth, query Exmouth?! by the bursting of an infernal machine, is still suffering, and little hope was entertained of saving his eyeSlglll. Detailed accounts of the attack on the Malakoff and Redan towers made by the allies on the I8th tilt., Iiav been received and published in extenso in the London journals. Various correspondents ascribe the repulse and great loss which the French and English sustain ed, to want of proper management, and to fatal absence of that military knowledge and judge ment so requisite on such hazardous and difficult undertakings. J he Journals de St. Petersburg- publishes a correspondence respecting the outrage of Hango, which Russia denies on the ground that the flaoof truce was not up. Russia accuses England of making improper use of nags of truce. Indianapolis, Pittsburg and Cleveland Railroad Co. The following is the officers and Directors of this company, elected on Thursday.

Catalogues. We are under obligations to Prof. Anderson for a copy of the Catalogue of the New Albany Female Seminary. There were 1 12 scholars in attendance the past year, from eiffht different States. We have also received the Ladies' Quarterly Medical Journal for June, and announcement of the .Female Department of the Penn Medical University of Philadelphia. In this we find a list of five graduates, with the subject of Thesis, and a catalogue of 36 students. Of the students two are from Indiana Mary A. Holloway, of Crawfordsville, and Mary F. Thomas, of Fort Wayne. 1 We have also received the annual catalogue of the Ohio Wesleyan University, of Delaware, Ohio. This is a deservedly popular institution,

and during the past year there were 51 1 studentsH in attendance. There were 12 members in the graduating class, and Mr. George S. Braun, of this city, took the honors. . The Indiana Journal of Medicine and Surgery, Drs. J.Jackson and T. W. Forshee Editors, published at Madison. We have thought for years the profession in this State were far behind those of sister States in the publication of a Journal of Medicine we believe this is the first one commenced in the State. The number before us contains articles on Hysteria; Heroic Medical Education; Heroic Practice; Gastronomy; Pathology, and Treatment of Spermatorrhoea; Uterine Hemorrhage twenty-one days after delivery; and editorial. We are glad to see a Journal established, but, for the credit of the craft in the State, would like to see a publication under the broad name of Indiana Journal present a better Typographical appearance. . The July number of the Western Odd Fellows Magazine, presenting an improved typographical appearance, is at hand- This is the commencement of the fourth volume, and is a good time to subscribe. Terms $1 a year. Address Rev. P. G. II. P. G. B. Jocelyn, Editor and Publisher. Godey's Lady's Book for August is already on hand. Godeyis always punctual always ahead. The July No. contains an unusual variety of designs and patterns, expressly for the Ladies, besides a variety of interesting reading matter. A new feature in the August number, and a very acceptable one, is the receipts for a large number of pleasant summer drinks alone worth the price of the book. Godey has been taken in by the runaway editor from Muncie, John B. Potts, and swindled out of $15. If he had read?his Indiana exchanges about that time, he might have seen the fellow pretty extensively posted. Incidents of Travel, from the Pencil notes of the Author, a book in five parts, 120 pages, is the title of a little work laid on our table by the author, George W. Smith, and printed by the Indianapolis Journal Co. This little work gives an account of the life of John Proctor, senior, who is one hundred and three years old and still alive; a journal of travels to bring him from Texas, in 1852, to his son, in Elkhart county, Indiana; a tour to Washington after his Pension, and the facts in his pension claim. It is a brief, hurriedly written, and somewhat imperfect, but rather interesting narrative, and shows clearly that the pension was withheld from the old revolutionary soldier unjustly. As a specimen of the descriptive powers of the author, we copy what he says about our own beautitul city. Now for the sake of my Southern readers, I must describe the Capital of Indiana. Congress donated four sections to the State of Indiana for her to build her Capitol on; and the State select this land on the bank of White River, and laid off the town, by first running streets due North and South, and East and West, crossing at right angles. - They then ran from each corner of this land, a road or street direct to the centre of the town, so as to make a direct street from every point of the compass to the middle of town. These diagonal streets are not common, but are very beautiful and convenient. Near the centre of the town is a lot laid off in a circular form, called the "Governor's Circle." In the middle of this circle is a most splendid building, which was built for the Governor, but he does not occupy it at present. The State house is a splendid building, built on an artificial rise, and is most splendidly adorned. The State House Square has been, set with every species of timber, and shrubbery that grows in the State, the most of which is now growing most beautifully, and makes a most pleasant place to walk or sit in. There is a dam across the river two miles above, and a canal cut down to town, which affords water enough for all kinds of mills and machinery. There are Railroads that come in from every direction, that make freight and travelers to pass in and out like magic. The town is two or three miles through it each way; and each side of every street is beautifully set in shade trees, mostly of black locust. Indianapolis bids fair to become one of the foremost and most splendid town in the Union. The copy before us is as hard a specimen of typography as we have seen. The price is 25 cents a copy, to be had at the Book store of A. C. Groomes, in this city. 3?" Mr. L. II. Hare, agent for C. M. Saxton tfe Co., New York, Agricultural Book Publishers, has laid on our table a copy of The Practical Land Drainer, in which the most approved systems of draining are explained and discussed. It appears to us this is a valuable book for farmers, and particularly those th.it have wet lands, as the subject is discussed in all jts branches. It can be had at the Agricultural Warehouse of Beard) Sinex & Dunn, in this city ' JC3TThe Last man! thoughtfully exclaimed Mrs Partington, throwing down the book. Bless me Isaac, if such a thing were to happv.n what would become of the women! And the old lady commenced reading the Songs of Solomon. Dividend. A dividend of 5 per cent, has been declared by the Terre Haute and Richmond Railroad Company, for the six months ending June 30. WKn alarm of fire on Wednesday evening was caused by an unoccupied carpenter shop, near Buehrig's Hotel, being set on fire. Little damage was done.
