Thk St. Cloud Union says that Charles
R. Rice, Esq., one of the earliest settlers of
Minnesota and brother of Senator Rice,
arrived in St. Cloud with his family on
Tuesday last. Mr. Rice intends to make his
future home in St. Cloud.
There was a sale of $20,000 Minnesota
eight per cent, bonds in New York last
week, the assets of the Corn Exchange
Bank of Illinois. The bonds were sold for
75 per cent, of their face—a less price than
they would have brought in St. Paul.
We learn from Mr. J. E. Thompson, the
Agent for the patriotic loan in this State,
that quite a number of subscriptions have
already been received, and there is no doubt
that Minnesota will furnish its quota of
money as well as of men, to sustain the
government.
We learn that Mr. Rawson proposes to
exhibit his panorama on Thursday evening
for the benefit of the volunteers of the Third
Regiment. It is proposed to put the sum
raised into the hands of the Ladies’ Aid
Society, to be distributed as they see fit.
We hope the ladies will lend their exertions
to get a full house.
The New York Tribune announces that
“ Jabez B. Irwin,” has been appointed First
Lieutenant of the regular Infantry. We
understand that it is our townsman, Mr.
Javen B. Irvine. Mr. Irvine was a volun
teer at the battle of Bull Run, and display
ed much gallantry in capturing the rebel
Col. Boone. He is a good soldier, and we
are glad that his claims to a commission
have at last been recognized by the War
Department.
One of oar crack shots brought down, a
few weeks ago, by a ball in the eye, a
splendid bald eagle, measuring six feet
between the tips of its extended wings.
It lias been prepared and preserved so as to
present the appearance ot life by an ex«
perienced taxidermist, and now ornaments
the office of our worthy Mayor. Its beak
and claws look as if the bird would have
been an ugly customer to handle, if its
captor had been unarmed.
The First at Edwards’ Ferry. —A lets
ter irom Lieutenant Edward H. Foster
dated at Camp Stone, October 28tb, was
received by his lather yesterday, and we are
permitted to make the following extract,
showing that our Firet Regiment still main
tains its reputation for coo! and steady
bravery:
I cannot at present describe the affair at Ed
wards’ Ferry, bat of this be .assured, that the
Minnesota was the first to cross and the last to
re-cross; also, that they did not take a scare
as the Second New York did, hum their knap
sacks, and throw away their gnns; but toe
brought everything hack belonging to us.
Minnesota Artillery.—lt is understood
that the First Minnesota Artillery Compa
ny, now being recruited at Fort Snelling, is
to be raised to the maximum number of one
hundred and fifty men, and that the Gover
nor has determined to appoint as its com
mander, United States Ordnance Sergeant
John Jones, now in charge of the United
States property at Fort Ridgley. We hope
this rumor is true. Sergeant Jones has the
reputation of being the most accomplished
soldier and the most thorough artillerist in
the State He was one of Major Sher«
man’s old drill sergeants in his dying bat
tery. He enlisted in the army in 1645, and
has served continuously ever since. He
fought at Monterey, at Vera Cruz, at Cerro
Gordo, at Contreras, Cherubusco, and the
City of Mexico. He was wounded at the
latter engagement in the neck by a ball
which is still nnbedde i in his flesh. For
his gallantry in thise actions be was men
tioned by numt in the regimental, brigade
and division reports. He has received every
mark of merit ever given to a non-commis
sioned officer in the regular army. He is a
man of gentle manners and good education.
We hope if Sergeant Jones is appointed
that he will accept, ana if be does he will
so train the Minnesota Battery that it will
prove an honor and never disgrace the
State.
Officers of the Third and Fourth
Regiment. —The officers of these regiments
were finally determined on yesterday, and
the following order issued :
General Headquarters, State of Minn..)
Adjutant General’s Office, >
Bt. Paul, Nov. 5, 1861. J
It is hereby announced that the following
appointments have been made for the Third
and Fourth Regiments of Minnesota Volun
teers, viz:
FOK THE THIRD REGIMENT.
Colonel, Captain Henry C. Lester, of Wino
na County.
Lieutenant Colonel, Benjamin F. Smith, of
Blue Earth County.
Major, John A. Hadley, of Steele County.
FOR THE FOURTH BEOIHENT.
Colonel, John B. Sanborn, of Ramsey County.
Lieutenant Colonel, Lieutenant Miner T.
Thomas, of Washington Connty.
Major, Lieutenant A. Edwards Welch, of
Goodhne Connty.
And the above officers will each be obeyed
and respected accordingly.
The above offioerß will report themselves
forthwith in person at this offioe for duty.
By order of the Commander.in-Chief,
JOHN B. SANBORN,
Adjutant General.
Will it Pay to Enlist? —There is no
government in the world that pays its sol
diers so liberally as the government of the
United States, and leaving out of the ques
tion all patriotic inducements, the wages
that can be saved by an economical soldier
should lead men to consider whether they
can do as well in any other business, while
the war lasts. Statements are made showing
that a man if he was economical could save
$450 from bis wages in the three years, and
the hundred dollars bounty would make
him $550. Now ifhe was paid once in two
months, and invests his wages in the 7 3-10
treasury notes, the interest would amount
to $46, making $596 for his three years’
work, besides his clothes and food. In ad
dition to this the amount that might be
saved from the tations, if used advantage
ously, would make quite a little sum, and
the land that will be given at the close of
the war will swell the Bum still more, mak
ing the grand total $835. It is not pre
tended that all, or many, would save this
amount. But all might do so by exercising a
rigid economy. The question is whether any
laboring man, and we might say, any busi
ness man in Minnesota, can felicitate him
self on saving a like amount, over and above
his expenses, in the three years of the war,
if it lasts so long.
Meteorological Notes for October,
1861—The month was characterized by
very variable weather and temperature, and
with a considerable amount of high wind.
Altogether it was by no means equal to its
predecessor of 1860. Still while there were
severe frosts on several mornings, the month
passed without snow. The extremes of tem
perature were very great. The mercury
ranged from 75° on the Bth to 23 r> on the
26th.
The thermometer gives results as follows:
Maximum of the mouth, (Bth) 75®
Minimum of the mouth, (26th) 23®
Highest daily mean, (Bth) 63®
Lowest daily mean, (26th) 33
Greatest daily range, (20th) 29®
Least daily range, (3d) 2°
Range of the month 52°
Mean of the month 10-455
The mean temperature of the mouth was
one degree below that of 1860, and four
above that of 1859.
Rain was observed to fall on eight days
to the amount of 2.80 inches—more than
one and a bait inches less than in October,
1860.
There were thirteen clear days, including
days which were partly clear.
The winds were as usual in Minnesota
very variable.
The total amount of rain and melted
snow which has reached the earth since
January Ist, 13 26.58 inches—one inch less
than at the same date last year. P.
Col. Wm. H. Nobles. —We discover
among the officers ot General Sherman’s
expedition the name of our old townsman,
Col. Wm. H. Nobles. He goes out as
Lieutenant Colonel, commanding the New
York Seventy-ninth Regiment. This regi
ment is known as the regiment of Highland
ers, and at the battle of Bull Run was com
manded by Col. James Cameron, a brother
of the Secretary of War, who was killed
in that action. We might be under some
doubt if the Col. Wm. H. Nobles named
was our veritable “Bill,” but the Tribune
says he i 3 “of wagon road notoriety,” and
we don’t know of any other person of that
name to whom these words would apply.
Guppy. —A letter in the Minneapolis
News says that “ C. 0. Guppy, so well
known in Minnesota has turned up again,
this time in the capacity of a soldier. He
was on a visit to our camp a few days since
and, like every sensible person, says that the
First Minnesota cannot be beat. He is, I
believe, a “u high private in the rear rank”
in one of tbe Massachusetts regiments.”
Major Dike of the First Regiment ar
rived at Hastings on his way to Faribault
Tuesday evening in excellent health and
spirits.
Governor’s Secretary. —We are in
formed that Col. R. F. Fisk, of this city
will succeed Dr. Foster as the Private Sec
retary of the Governor.

THE WEEKLY PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT.
All Sorts of Items.
—Says the Springfield Republican :> —
‘That the South is to be whipped—must
be whipped—is only too evident; but what
she will be good for after the job is done
we do not see.”
—lt is mysteriously announced that the
Prince of Wales has seen his intended—at
Rumsenhein—but what he thinks of her is
unpublished.
—The New Orleans Picayune admits
that the braggart, Hollins, was chased up
the river by the Richmond—bis ram pro
boscis broken and his machinery disar
ranged.
—Poverty is a bully if you are afraid of
her and truckle to her. Poverty is good
natured enough if you meet her like a man.
—The great Southern and commercial
free trade Convention, which held its an
nual session this year at Macon, Georgia,
petitioned the rebel Congress at Richmond
to “ throw open all the Southern ports.”
This is considered a very good joke.
—Foreign papers say a pretty and tal
ented German artiste has put herself up at
lottery. There are to be 505 tickets at 50
thalers each, and the drawer or winning
number is to have during twelve months the
exclusive right to her—professional services
of course.
—The Legislature of North Carolina, at
its late session, authorized the issuance by
the Treasurer of the State of one million
of treasury notes, in sums ranging from five
cents to one dollar.
—lf, by the expenditure of a thousand
millions of dollars, we succeed in restoring
the Union, it will be as profitable a pecu
niary investment as mortal man ever made.
— Prentice.
—The Duke of Manchester is engaged in
preparing from his family papers two vol*
umes for the press, illustrative of English
society from Queen Elizabeth to Quten
Anne. The work is expected for the corny
ing season.
—One of the cavalry companies were
convulsed the other night by oue of their
number, who is the “ dryest of chaps,” re
marking iu relation to one of his comrades
woo was snoring quite vociferously, “ Well,
boys.that’s the first man I ever heard snore
old hundred without missing a note.”
—Since the 19th of April last seventy
vessels oi war have been fitted out at the
Brooklyn navy yard. Many of these were
first class ships, and the entire number is
larger than the numuer of vessels iu com
mission at any time previous to the rebel
lion since the formation of our navy.
—Hon. John I. Slingerland, of Albauy
county, N. Y., one of the leaders iu the
Anti-Rent party since 1836, member o
Congress during one term twelve years ago,
and several times in the State Legislature,
died at his residence iu New Scotland, on
Saturday last, aged 57 years His decease
was sudden.
lt is thought the neefssities of France
and England on account of the usual and
somewhat general failure of, the crops
abroad, and the fact that our people, de
pending upon themselves, will buy very lit
tle from foreign nations, will pour in upon
us a perfect torrent of gold and silver.
—A New York paper says it is ascer
tained that no less than eight hundred and
forty-four lives have been lost by seamen
falling overboard during the past nine
months, and the large number elicits the
inquiry whether there may not be some de
feet in the rigging or mismanagement on
board of ships to occasion so large a loss
of life in this way.
—Hon. Robert J. Walker is now on a
visit to bis relatives iu Washington, and
sustains the administration with all bis abil
ity. When he heard of the disastrous re
connoisaance at Ball Bluff, he exclaimed
“ Do not let us despair ; we have the ships
and the seamen, and the money. The rebels
have neither. The army will not fail us,
and the navy never did.”
—The proprietor ol the Montreal Gazelle
says he was taught in his chilbood to be
lieve “ that George Washington was a
filthy rebel who ought to have been hung.”
A man with such shocking bad education
could hardly be expected to have just views
on American affairs, and we are not sur
prised that the Gazette assails the cause and
men of the North.
—That eminent patriot, Mr. Smith
O’Brien has been spending his summer
partly at the Camp of Chalons, France, en
joying the hospitality of the Duke of Ma**
genta, and partly at Posthe and some conn
try seats under the Cirpathian Mountains,
studying the Hungarian question. The
result of bis observation is that in no two
countries is there in all respects a more
striking resemblance than between the sit
uation of Hungary and Ireland. He made
a glowing speech in Ireland recently, in
which be expressed himself frankly to this
effect.
—The gold snuff box voted by the
Common Council of New York city, some
time ago, was presented to Major Anderson
Wednesday alternoon by Mayor Wood, at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, where a very select
party of ladies and gentlemen were in
attendance.
Baker’s Enlogy on Rrodertck
The most famous oration pronounced in
America, since the days of Webster, was
that of Edward D. Baker over the dead
body of David Broderick in San Francisco,
on the IBth of September, 1859. The con
cluding passages are strangeb appropriate
to the occasion of the death ‘of their au
thor:
A Senator lies dead in our midst! He
is wrapped in a bloody shroud, and we, to
whom his toils and cares were given, are
abotft to bear him to the place appointed
for all the living. It is not fit that such a
man should pass to the tomb unheralded ;
it is not fit that such a life should steal un
noticed to its close; it is not fit that such a
death should call forth no rebuke, or be
surrounded by no public lamentation. We
are here of every station and pursuit, of
every creed and character, each in his capa
city of citizen, to swell the mournful tribute
which the majesty of the people offers to the
unreplying dead. The hopes of high-hearted
friends droop like fading flowers upon his
breast, and the struggling sigh compels the
tear in eyes that seldom weep. Around him
are those who have known him best, and
loved him longest; who have shared the
triumph, and endured the defeat. Near him
are the gravest and noblest of the State,
possessed by a grief at once earnest and sin
cere ; while beyond, the masses of the people
that be loved, and for whom his life was
given, gather like a thunder cloud of swell
ing and indignant grief.
And now, as the shadows turn towards
the east, and we prepare to bear these poor
remains to their silent resting place, let us
not seek to repress the generous pride which
prompts a recital of noble deeds of manly
virtues. He rose unaided and alone ; he
began his career without lamily or foriune,
in the face of difficulties ; he inherited pov
erty and obscurity; he died a Senator in
Congress, having written his name in the
history o the great straggle for the rights
of the people against the despotism of or
ganization and the corruption of power.
He leaves in the hearts of his friends the
tenderest and the proudest recollections.
He was honest, faithful, earnest, sincere,
generous and brave. He felt, in all the
great crisis of his iile, that be was a leader
in the ranks and for the rights of masses of
men, aud he could not falter. When he re
turned from that fatal held, while the dark
wing of the Archangel of death was cast
ing his shadows upon his brow, his greatest
anxiety was as to the performance of hi®
duty. He felt that all his strength and all
his life belonged to the cause to which he
had devoted them. “Baker,” said he, and
to me they were his last words—“ Baker,
wheD I was struck I tried to stand firm, but
the blow blinded me, and I could r.ot.” I
trust it is no shame to my manhood that
tears blinded me as he said it.
But fellow citizens, the voice of lamenta
tion is not uttered by private friendship
alone—the blow that struck his maniy
breast has touched the heart of a people,
and as the sad tidings spread, a general
gloom prevails. Who now can speak
for California ? Who be the interpreter
of the wants of the Pacific coast ? Who
can appeal to the community of the Atlan
tic who love free labor? Who can speak
for masses of men with a passionate love
for the classes irom whence he sprung?
Who can defy the blandishments of power,
the insolence of office, the corruptions of
Administrations ? Whut hopes are buried
with him in the grave ?
“ Ah ? who that gallant spirit shall resume,
Leap from Eurotas’ bank, and call us from
the tomb.”
But the last word must be spoken and
the imperious mandate of death must be
fulfilled. Thus, O, brave heart! we bear
tbee to thy rest. Thus, surrounded by tens
of thousand, we leave thee to the equal
grave. As in life no other voice among us
so rung its trumpet blast upon the ear of
freedom, so in death its echoes will reverber
ate amid our mountains and our valleys,
UDtil truth aud valor cease to appeal to the
human heart.
Good friend! true hero! hail and farewell!
False Notions
That the rebel army is badly equipped,
that it is deficient in food, that it is badly
armed, that it is not so large as our own.
The southern papers that reach us give a
different statement of facts. The rebel army
cannot be deficient in any ot these things.
The advertising columns of the Richmond
papers contain accounts of all kinds of
military goods to be had, including a large
amount of blankets. Ihe .rices of food
prove that there is a large abuudance. Cat
tle from Texas are passing into Louisiana
in large quantifies. Prices as follow-:
Beef, first quality, per head, §25,i35; do
second quality, $lB-25; milch cows, s4oa
60; hogs grO'-i, 100 lbs. SlO 13; sheep
per head, §3-4; veal calves, first quamy,
$9»12; second quality, 50a9. Suit pork
is high. In regard to arms, we kuow that
an immense number was stolen from our
arsenals by Floyd, but in addition to that a
large supply has been received by way of
Mutamoras and up the Rio Grande. That
they have plenty of men we know whenever
a fight occurs, tor they usually outnumber
us in every engagement. North Carolina
has sent no less than thirty regiments into
the field, and when she can do that, other
and licher States, like Georgia and Louis
iana, can send a great many more, it is
ahout time that we had got rid of the no
tion of the weakness of the South, aud made
up our ramd to fight the rebels earnestly as
the only way to put down rebellion.—C«/i
--onnat* Commercal.
The editor of the Lawrence Republican
writes to his paper from Kansas City, under
date of October 10th :
A few days since a lady, whose property
had coolly and deliberately walked off and
set up on iti own account, came to General
Sturgis for redress. After hearing her
story the General replied: “Madam, if I
had your nigger, I should feel it my duty to
return him, and would cheerfully do so;
but if he has got into Lane’s brigade, all
bell couldn’t get him!” The lady gave the
matter up, and her chattel is now becoming
the owner of property.
