Wwrriir'r W. B. MITCHELL,. EDITOR. OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE OTY. Thursday, March 29, 1866.f DOUBLE SHEET. FOR MONTANA. Prom, the St. Paul JVe.it. The St. Louis papers are filled with ad vertisements of Ptenmboats "for Fort Ben ton and the gold mines of Montana and Idaho." They nil clntra to be light draught steamers, and advertise they ana run on a moderate fall of dew as an inducement to accept the ventnre. Front St. Louis to Fort Benton by the Missouri river is a dangerous voyage of over 250P miles in lengthy and occupying a month's time, if •nags do- net put a more abrupt termination to thejourney. We have been a little cu rious to ascertain the cost of reaching Montana by this route. The St. Louis Democrat supplies us with the wished-for information as follows: "We understand the freight charges on round lots, lumping all descriptions, is eleven cents per pound, payable in gold dust at the point of delivery, and for small and irregular lots as high as tu-enly cent* in cur rency has been asked. A cabin passage is placed at two hundred dollars, or four hun dred for theround trip. This tariff of prices may be considered steep—and rob ably it is—but we must take into consider ation the expense incurred by the boats, one of which—the pilotage—vcosts alone nine thousand dollars." From this it appears that by the river route from St. Louis, it will cost the single emigrant with the amount of freight neces sary to his outfit, some three or four hun dred dollars to reach Fori Eenton, which is still several hundred miles from the gold fields. Now by the direct overland route from Minnesota westward to Fort Benton, a distance from St. Paul of about 1000 miles, •migrants can reach Montana, with their necessary outfit, at a cost of not more than $100 per man. We observe that Capt. Fisk aivertises to take passengers with fifty pounds of baggage, through for that sum. With a thorough organization of transportation facilities, we presume freights could be carried through to Foit Benton, by this route, quite as cheaply and expeditiously and far more safely than they can be carried through the treach erous shoals and snags of the Missouri. E CHICAGO POST. With its issue of the 17ih inst., this ex cellent evening daily appeared enlarged to a nine column sheet, with the following editorial from Hon. David Blakeley With the present number of the hic-igo Pott, its senior proprietor for the first time assumes the management and control of its editorial columns. This statement is made necessary in view of the fact that the course of the paper has been in many respects essentially ui variance with the settled principles which have characterized his whole political life, and which there rfeems at present less cause than'ever that J»e should-abandon. For this reason, and in order to 'secure entire harmony in the counsels and conduct of the paper, the undersigned have be come possessed of the entire remaining interests, and hereafter ~ihe Chicago Post will take advanced ground as the firm and unflinching advocate of those great principles of universal freedom, human rights, and human equality, which the late terrible civil commotion served to bring into partial recognition, and which it shall be the constant aim of the Pott to cause to he fully and firmly estab lished as the fundamental law ©t thethe land. Mr. Blakely is an able writer, and a geutleman both inaui out ot the elitotial chair, and this change will give to theford, Pott a spirit and tone .viiich is has hereto fore much lacked. We wish it abundant success. To our readers we would say that the PoA is furnished at $U,00, which is a cheaper rate than the other Chicago dailies. —~s-^ a* THS President has vetoed the civil rights bill. FROM the Quartermaster General's Office, Washington, we have received a pamphlet containing the names of Union soldiers buried in the National Ccmentry at Alex andria, Va,—3601 in all. Also, a volume of 22 S pages containing the names of The Martryrs who, for Our Country, gave up their Lives in the Prison Pens in Alexandria. It brings a fresh shudder of horror, of deep, bitter detesta tion for the fiends in human shape who slowly, surely and devilishly starved our soldiers to death. When all the other sins of the authors of the rebellion shall have been washed away, this will stand againit them to their "deep damnation." TUB Independent is the title of a new paper that has been started in Carvtr, Minnesota, witn Mr. F. Belfoy as ed tor and proprietor. It is a seven column sheet, and commendable in all save its politics, which are Democratic. A SELL.—The -oil well at Bed Wing proved to be a sell. It was kept up by some chaps pouring oil into the well at night. They were caught At it, and the oil ex eitement has subsided. A M7MBKB of our exchanges have been pretty severe on Mr. Blakely, of the Chi cago Pott, for an article which appeared in thai paper reflecting on the country presa. The article in question was never written by Mr. Blakely, but by an editor now not connected with the paper. SKKSIBLI ADVICX.-—In reply to the cor respondence of some invalid, the New York Ledgersays: "The beet State this iide of the Paoiflc slope for a sick man to go to get well, is Minnesota." this is a well known fact, and it is becoming widely disseminated throughout the United States. —Prttt. -. —There is tobe a great national conven ion of all the trades' unions of the coun try. 4 353S FKWIAIf DEMONSTRATION. FAIR HAVBN, MINN, March 22,1866. Pnm Our Regular Correspondent. EDITOR DEMOCRAT.—This morning, Thos. Straw, of Kimball Prairie, four miles west here, came through town in a sad plight, having one shoulder dislocated, his face scratched »nd bruised in a frightful man nor, and other slight injuries. Ourfirstre-KAler porter stated that a tree had fallen on kim next one believed his team ran away with him: butfinelywe fell in with one who had heard Straw's own story, who related the following Some time stare Straw set his dog on an Irish neighbor's pigs that were ib mischief on hfs premises the pigs ran home with bloody cars, the sight of which stung the Irish blood to fury, and they swore ven gance on Straw, "they'd have blud for Mud, and make the spalpeen rue it." This morning Straw was passing their premises, and the old man oame out and met him, and a war of words^oommenced that raged with terrible fury. Next come the blows* But two or three rounds were discharged, till the old lady came to the rescue with a four-foot shelalah, and aimed a blow at Straw's head. At the same time, their dog caught Straw by the leg, and he came down with a crash, putting his shoulder out of joint. By-this time, the 'small fry" had clustered around. A boy held the dog, and one of the girls interceded for poor Straw. After the old man bad kicked and pounded his victim to bis satisfaction, he left him to his fate. Straw made his way to a hu mane neighbor, who took his team, and caried him to Dr. Kemp. The Dootor set things to rights in good shape, and 8traw has gone home in very good spirits. We understand that the assailant's name was Welch.—ID. 6KN. GRANT'S INTUITIONS. Prom the JV. J". Herald. One of the best proofs of General'! Grant's greatness is the facility with which he reads men's characters and selects his subordinates. Almost every early member of his staff, selected when unknown, and when their latent qualities where bid to all other eyes than those of Grant, have be come successful and famous. He saw and appreciated Sherman when laid on the shelf as a madman. He made McPherson his chief engineer, when all others saw in him only a talented Captain of the Engineer corps. He made General Barry his chief of artillery when a Captain, and saw him rise to be a Major General. He selected Sheridan, out of the midst of his first battle in which he hsd ever seen him, to command his cavalry on the Potomac. He selected John A. Rawlings to be his Adju tant General when he was but a Captain in the volunteer service, and has seen him rise by merit alone to the position of Briga 'dier General in the ^regular army. Away back in the days of Fort Donelson. when, as a Brigadier General, Grant was entitled to one Adjutant General, he selected Pri vate Theodore S. Bowers, in whom.he had discerned the qualities which afterwards made him distinguished, to be sort of assistant or chief clerk to his Adjutant General. No sooner had he obtained the requisite rank than he made Rawlings his chief of staff, and made Bowers his Adju tant General, and saw him rise from a pri vate in the volunteers to be a Colonel in the regular army. —We publish elsewhere some account of th remarkable career or a late general in Union army. He served with distinc tion, was brevettcd a brigadier, was honor ably mustered ont, was appointed general agent of a leading insurance company, wooed and won an estimable lady of Hart and while oS a bridal tour was recog nived in Cleveland, Ohio, by Mr. James Horner of St. Peter, as ik« person who, in 1861, presented a forged shcti" signed by Col. Pratt, of St. Peter, to Messrs. Temple & Beaupre, of St. Paul calling for $5£0 in gold, which was paid. The story as related is very brief, but in the hands of skillful workers in the romance of crime, might be Amplified into a ponderous yellow covered volume.—St Paul Ptttt. —Do you ever see Mrs. Swisshelm's Re constructionist It is a lively little sheet, published every Saturday by Mrs. S., and, befoie the Chronicle began to speak in its present manly tones, was the only paper in the city that was decidedly and openly for freedom.—N. Y. Independent. —"I remember." said Sydney Smith, "entering a room with glass all around it at the French embassy, and.saw myself reflected on every side. I took it for a meeting of the clergy, and was delighted of course/' —"Ike," said Mrs. Partington, "how do they find ont the distance between the earth and the sun?" "Oh," said the young hopeful, "they calculate a quarter of the distanee. and then multiply by four.". NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
