(Contributed) The half-breed uprising in the North-West ii significant. The re- bels have no justifiable cause for their conduct. That the un-hung Riel should venture upon this course with no greater backing than the prowess of a few cowardly, yet bloodthirsty half-breeds and Indians, we cannot believe. Personally, Riel is both a physical and moral coward, and not one of those who would peril life and limb in the attainment of a cherished object. Our first difficulty with the half- breeds in 1870 was fomented by Yankee traders ; and we believe OPEH BEVOLT!

Dar- ing the past few weeks half-breed emissaries of Riel have been using every effort to incite the Indians to acts of open defiance against the Government, and by Tuesdays dailies we observe that they have been only too successful. Dattleford is menaced by a body of redskins estimated at 500 strong. The country fairly swarms with them. Several of them went to Dattleford and threatened to burn the place up and take possession of the barracks and stores. The women and children were hurried in- to the barracks and everything done Yankee tradors ; and we believe we r , to put them in the best possible con- need not dig far beneath the surface , ' lifrwwi fn*> *l<.4an/*A . .. in. .11 liava to discover the same despicable agency at work in the present turmoil. The Yankee Northern Pacific Kailway, as well as the States of Minnesota, lowu, Dakotah, and the territories adjoining our boundary line, have taken this method of offsetting the Huperior advantages of our North- West to European Immigration. Let there be no half-way measures in putting down this insurrection and if nitfd bo, send HO.OOO mmi, and have arms dition for defence. The men been enrolled for service and and ammunition have been issued to them. A force of fully 200 men will be raised for defence. From all parts of the North- West come ominons rumors about the Bettled state of the Indians. Several bands of Indiana have already gone over to the enemy.

The following is a half-breed's ac- count of the defeat of Crotier by Du- mont at Duck Lake last week : FOBT VPPLL. N. W. T., March 80. Kleuzar Montgrand, a friendly half- jreed, who has worked on the old trail to Prince Albert for many years as a teamster, came in during the night from Clarke's crossing. He confirms the previous report that the Indians north of the South {Saskatch- ewan are uneasy. Beardy, One Ar- row, Okemasis, and other leading men smoked with Kiel's agents before the fight on Beardy's reserve At Duck Lake. Montgrand gives this as an reserves have mostly fled ; a few arc said to be prisoners. The farmers all through the Qu'Appelle valley are waiting for the upshot in no very plaoid state of mind. Very little seeding will be dono in this beautiful section of country this spring. Should the Indians rise in dead earn- est, there would be a general exodus from these jmrts. Nothing can re- store confidence but the arrival of an overwhelming force of troops. Calgarry was patrolled on Sunday night hy armed citizens, on account of a wild rumor which reached the authentic account of that engage- ment : Major Crozier intended to secure the supplies in Btobart, Eden A Go's store at Duck Lake, together with a quantity of Government stores that were lying there, Jemuied for Mr. Chaffer, who has charge of the Indian farm near Duck Lake. The rebels. 220 strong, under P. Dumont, bro- ther of Dumont the ferryman at Du- mout's crossing, had, however, raided these stores before Crozier's arrival. Crozier came upon Dtimont's force on Beardy's reserve, and called to them to surrender. His men, getting the word of command, pointed their rifles life. One scene in particular brought tears to many eyes- As the favorite regiments marched to the railway station, two young men wero allowed to step from the ranks to bid adieu to their widowed mother, whoae sole support they were. They entered home only to find their mother dying. The shock of parting with her loved ones had proved too much for her. But duty must be done, and although their hearts might be breaking, they were obliged to fall into the ranks again, and march forward to the live- ly strains of martial music t Such is war.

Arnold, H private surveyor and timber htmtcr, who has been down there all winter, says the half- breeds on the frontier knew of Ricl'8 rising a week ago, and that they forthwith began to organize. There WITC not over 76 of them in the Wood Mountain country, but there are twenty times that number just across the line in the Upper Missouri, and communications tire passing between them. He says that the Indians and half-breeds have coalesced, the former complaining, as usual, that the Government lias starved them. They appear to hold the Department re for the disiipru urunce of the suffatfc and antelope. Mhould an in- surrection occur at Wood mountain, General Middlcton will have bin hands full, as these frontier rebels would undoubtedly move north to- wards the track.

Crozier, who was 300 yards away, held up his hand, and the police and volunteer* extended tlioir ranks. Both parties fired almost together. The first volley from the half-breeds appeared to be directed at Grazier's loft, where the Prince Albert volun- teers wore stationed, and eight of them fell. The police replied with great vigour, but tho men then shouted to Crozier that they could ma see the rebels. Aftur the second volley from the half-breeds Crozier's force began to withdraw, carrying with them the dead and wounded. It was snowing. The police are said to have had two cannon, but Mont- grand's informant, who saw the fight, ays he did not see them nor hear any cannon report. When the po- lice began to retreat, Diunont's men clambered to the top of the ravine, and fired once or twice again ; but they did not attempt to follow Cro- zier, who struck out for Carlcton.
