If you just want to change the text, look in lang/en/validation.php,

or take a look at this tutorial on creating custom validation rules.

You are looking for:

'The field has to be :min chars long'

Yep but this applies to all min-validations .-(

Just imagine several fields with min-rules.

For other developers facing the same problem, You have two options , One is to use the method described by @Reached above , Or you can declare everything in your controller as follows

       $messsages = array(
		'email.required'=>'You cant leave Email field empty',
		'name.required'=>'You cant leave name field empty',
                'name.min'=>'The field has to be :min chars long',
	);

	$rules = array(
		'email'=>'required|unique:content',
		'name'=>'required|min:3',
	);

	$validator = Validator::make(Input::all(), $rules,$messsages);

I hope this help.

surely it makes sense for you to tell users the same message i.e the field has to be :min char long? why would you not do this for every field?
