In June, 1863, there were several Indians at Mr. Alexander Faribault's, and a rumor was cir- culated to the effect that some of them had been connected with the New Ulm massacre, but Mr. Faribault promptly set the matter right. Those who were with him were Wacon, or Le Clare and family, who came here when Faribault did, and have been here ever since; Papa and family and a widow and two children, the wife and mother of Good Thunder, who assisted in saving captives who were sent here for their safety. They were all "good Injuns."
In the fall of 1863, Capt. E. A. Rice was at home on recruiting service.
The Fourth Minnesota Regiment re-enlisted in the winter of 1864, and came home on a veteran furlough.
Company G, of the First Regiment, had a like home run, and a reception. The committee of re- ception on the part of the citizens consisted of Maj. William H. Dike, H. Wilson, E. N. Leavens, G. F. Batchelder, R. A. Mott, and a suitable honor was accorded them.
In February, 1864, a hounty of $125 was voted by Faribault, and sixteen or seventeen were en- listed under the new call.
Charles Jewett, who had gone to Massachusetts, was commissioned as a Lieutenant in the Fifty- fourth Regiment of that State.
Some of Company I, of the Fourth Regiment, re-enlisted and visited home. Dr. Jewett had three sons in the army; one of them, John, was killed in battle.
In 1864, Rev. L. Webb was commissioned to raise a company.
G. L. Porter was a recruiting officer for heavy artillery in 1864.
Major Michael Cook, of the Tenth Regiment, was killed at the battle of Nashville; his friends and neighbors paid due respect to his memory on the 27th of December, 1864.
In April, 1865, nearly $1,000 worth of sanitary stores were sent south.
Early in the year 1865, a Soldiers' Families Aid Society was in operation, and festivals were in order to raise money.
It may be a matter of interest to see a state- ment of the number of troops called for by the President during the war.

As the different companies came home at the expiration of their term of service, or at the close of the war, they were handsomely received. On the most important occasion of the kind General Nutting made the welcome address, which was responded to by Rev. Mr. Lathrop. Of course there was the dinner and the usual concomitants.
The following is a list of soldiers from Rice county, as prepared from the Adjutant General's report. Great care has been taken to make this list as nearly complete as possible, but it is not unlikely that some defenders of their country, who had a greater regard for their duty than for pre- serving a record of their deeds, have been omitted :

HISTORY OF RICE COUNTY.
CHAPTER XLIX.
PERIODICALS - RAILROADS - EDUCATIONAL-RELI- GIOUS-VARIOUS EVENTS GENERAL REMARKS.
FARIBAULT REPUBLICAN .- The first number of this newspaper was issued in Faribault on the 22d of October, 1856, under the caption of "The Rice County Herald," as a neutral paper, by F. W. Frink, who threw off six numbers, and then it was sold to I. L. Pond & Co., and the services of R. A. Mott were secured as editor. No. 7 was printed as the first number under the new order, which continued ten weeks, when Mr. Mott bought out the whole establishment, from the shooting stick to the Franklin press, and his first paper was in- troduced on the 17th of December, 1856. The name was changed to "The Faribault Herald," which at once took a position on the questions of the hour, holding that slavery was sectional and local, and that it should not be extended into the territories, and assuming a strong opposition to the slave power. It was edited with great ability while in Mr. Mott's hands. On the 2d of June, 1858, it was sold to Holley & Brown, who had been publishing a paper in Chatfield, in Fillmore county. Mr. O. Brown was the editor. In Sep- tember, 1858, the paper, which up to this time had been a six column folio, was changed to a seven column paper. The name was also changed to "Central Republican," and was conducted with energy and spirit through the stormy period of the war by Mr. Brown, who was always found on the side of the Union, although at times he severely criticised the methods of carrying on the war, and the conduct of the campaign against the Sioux. In December, 1865, the paper passed into the hands of A. W. Mckinstry, who has man- aged it for seventeen years with good judg- ment, securing the confidence and respect of the community. On the 25th of May, 1870, the name was changed to "Faribault Republican." It is on a most substantial basis, and is issued from a first class office, with steam power and facilities for promptly turning off good work.
NORTHFIELD JOURNAL .- In April, 1858, a paper was started by Capt. Hoag and Brother. The press and material were moved to the place from Cannon Falls, Wisconsin, and it was regularly published for about three years. The establish- ment was then leased to other parties, and several had a hand in its publication, until early in the sixties, when it was moved to Rochester, and there
it was published for a time by the original pro- prietors. During this time, before the "Northfield Standard" was commenced by Mr. Kimball, there was no paper in Northfield.
THE SIDERIAL MESSENGER is published monthly by Professor William W. Payne, the Director of the Observatory at Carleton College, Northfield. It is the only periodical in the United States, de- voted exclusively to popular astronomy, and it is gratifying to be able to state that students and observers in this fascinating branch of study are giving it a cheering support. It was started in the winter of 1882, and is a thirty-two page mag- azine, neatly printed and well edited; the price is $2 a year.
NORTHERN STATESMAN AND WESTERN FARMER .--- A paper with the above appellation, to designate its ambitious sphere, was established in 1861, at Faribault, the first number bearing date of the 12th of November. The inaugural in the initial number was an able, well written article, in which the announcement is made that the good old principles of democracy that had carried the coun- try through so many storms, would control its ut- terances, saying that; "In politics, the Northern Statesman will be democaatic, as expounded and illustrated by Jefferson and Jackson."
The editor of the paper was Alexander John- son, who continued it until 1864, when its publica- tion was suspended, and Mr. Johnson went to St. Paul, where it is understood he is still connected with the press of that city. While here it justly earned the reputation of being one of the best edited papers in the State. The material subse- quently went into the office of the Democrat.
THE FARIBAULT LEADER .- This paper was started in July, 1870, by S. H. Kelley and sons, who issued it as a weekly until September, 1871, when it was sold to A. E. Haven, and became "The Faribault Democrat," which was first issued on the 8th of September, 1871. It is an eight col- umn folio, published weekly, at $2 a year, and is a neatly printed and well edited paper. Each of the offices in the county has a job office attached, and do good work.
THE MINNESOTA MISSIONARY .- This is a denom- inational monthly, originating in 1877, in Fari- bault, and edited by Rev. George B. Whipple and Rev. Edward C. Bill. A. E. Haven is the printer. It is in the interest of the Episcopal Church, par- ticularly in its missionary interests.
