CAPTURE OF NOTED CHIEFS.--
"Little Six, another Sioux Chief, and since the death of Little
Crow, the leading spirit among the hostile Indians of Minnesota, has
been captured. He and Medicine Bottle, were both taken on British
soil. Drugged liquor was given them, and after they were well asleep,
chloroform added to their insensibility. Whilein this condition they
were bound upon sleds and run into Major'sHatch's camp. The act was
performed by residents of the British settlement, and, as they themselves claim,
without instigation on the part of our officers. It remains to be seen
whether the British Lion will consider himself insulted by this capture,
as in the case of Mason and Slidell. As one of the redskins admits
to the killing of 18 women and children, he will be a fit subject for
British protection. It is thought that since these captures the remainder of
the band will surrender."

PEN AND SCISSORS
"--WIGFALL, who was reported dead, was only drunk. He has recently
charged that some of the Southern farmers were actually burning their
wheat rather than sell it to the Government at five dollars per bushel."

"--The depreciation of rebel currency is 8 per cent daily. The
difference between greenbacks and Confederate scrip is twenty or thirty
to one. Wood is sixty dollars per cord in Richmond. Newspapers are
thirty cents apiece."

"--An immense run is now being made upon the State Saving
Institution at Chicago. About $100,000 has been drawn out in two
days--principally by small investors."

LOCAL MATTERS:

SEWING CIRCLE
"The Ladies Sewing Circle, of the Methodist Church, will meet this
evening, at the house of Mr. WAGDEN."

BOY WANTED
"An active, intelligent boy, 15 to 18 years of age, can find
employment at this office, and a fine opportunity to learn the printing
trade."

THE WEATHER
"The weather yesterday was quite warm. The sleighing, which has
been excellent, must be all gone in one or two days if the present warm
weather continues."

PLENTY OF BUSINESS
"It was estimated that three hundred loaded teams came into town
yesterday from the country, bringing wheat, oats, corn, pork, etc.
These, together with a great many single sleighs flying about our
streets caused an unusually lively appearance. The day was pleasant,
merchants did a good business, and everybody was happy."

THE SOCIAL CIRCLE
"The meeting of the Ladies Social Circle at Capt. ESTY's, last
evening, was largely attended, and all present appeared unusually
happy. A few married men, whose wives were detained at home on account
of the bad going, did not fail to play the gallant by seeing some of the
young ladies home. If they ever do so naughty a thing again, we shall
feel called upon to mention their names."

"W. P. HAYDON, a member of the 96th, from Warren, died at
Chattanooga on the 8th of January, aged 37."

DIED
