For the Pioneer
Benton COunty-The late NOminatin ~
Convention, &c.

Mr.. EDITOR In Benton, Wright, Cass
and Stearns Counties, our friends are all alive
to the Importance of the approaching contest
and are putting forth corresponding efforts
thereto. At the District Convention held or
the 10th instant, to nominate one candidate
for the Council and two candidates for the
House of Representatives, out of the twenty
nine delegates composing it, but nine Rice men
could be found!
In accordance to the call of the District
Democratic Central Committee, the Conven-
ton assembled, and in order to test the senti-
ments of the delegates, John S. Jameson. Esq
one OF MIR. OLMsTED's warmest supporters, was
nominated for President. The vote was taken
by holding up of hands, and he was elected by
large majority. A committee on credentials
was then appointed, who at once proceeded
to the discharge of the duties assigned them
After their report, Chas. Webb, the "Tama-
rack correspondent of the democrat" came
forward and claimed seat as delegate from
the Sank Rapids Preccint, and endeavored by
various Tamany Hall maneuvres to awe the
convention into admitting him as member
On the 18th instant, delegates throughout the
District were elected and in no Precinct more
than that of Sank Rapids did Olmsted and
Rice feeling run higher. The friends of these
gentlemen exerted every nerve in order to Sc
cure delegates known to be in favor of the man
of their choice to Congress On counting the
votes it was found that those ardent and active
friends of Mr.. Olmsted, Geo. w. Sweet. ESQ =.
and William Cornell, ESQ.,, had thirty votes,
whilst Mr.. Heath and Mr.. Gray, the Rice
candidates, had but t,reire! This result al,
though it nettled the Rice men, was acquies,
ced in by them until the day of the District
Convention, when the ever faithful twelve
knowing that the result of the deliberations Of
the District Convention would fall with crush
ing force upon their idol, adjourned to Mr..
Russell's stable and chose their pets, Webb
and Gray, to the Convention, and gave them
credentials, upon which Mr.. Webb claimed a
seat! When it is known that Mr.. Webb took

The following letter from gentleman I'D
Washington, needs no comment. We COM
mend it to the attention of our readers =
WASHINGTON CITY, Sept, IA, 1855.
SIR:-The Land Sales are not yet ordered
to be postponed, the Commissioner is most ia
vorably disposed to the postponement, and has
sent to the Secretary of the Interior strong
recommendation to that effect
The Secretary of the INTERIOR is not yet here,
but will be tonight; when an interview takes
place between him, the President, and others,
which, it is believed, will result favorable to
the postponement.
AS some of your people anticipated, Mr..
RICE had be n the cause of the sales being
brought on. He had urged the Government
officers in the most earnest manner, as his let
tiers here on file show, to bring on these Land
Sales at the earliest moment On the 9th
April last, he wrote to the proper Department,
earnestly urging that the Proclamation for the
sale be issued
On the 18th June last, from st. Paul, he
again wrote here, urging that the proclama-
ton for these sales be issued Immediately
which letters are here on file in the Office OF
the Secretary of the Interior have seen and
read them both The Secretary of the Interi-
or in his report to the President, says that
these sales were proclaimed at the urgent re-
quest of the Hon. n. NJ. RICE, delegate from
the Territory of Minnesota.
Now we shall see what the hard working
settler thinks of the conduct of Mr.. RICE. His
course has brought on more serious calamity
than has befallen our Territory since its or.
ganization But he was serving the men o.
money and the spectators by and through
whom he expects to force himself upon the
people again.
H. NJ. RICE also recommended the Winnie
bago Indians to be located on the Minnesota
about their present location; a copy Of the
letter will soon arrive in Minnesota
So much for the land Sales--so much fox
Winnebagoes
Now, if HENRY NJ. RICE can be elected af
ter the exposure of his duplcity and second
Land specializing acts, God only knows what
sort of stuff your people are made of.
Truly, VERITAS.

The Currency War.
week or two ago the Galena and Mineral Point
brokers and their allies elsewhere, who are making
war upon the Atlanta Bank and the Bank of the In
terror sent down large package of the bills Of those
banks for redemption--rumor says to the amount of
two or three hundred thousand dollars. Late advices
from Atlanta state that the bills are being promptly
redeemed in gold coin of the denomination of one dol
lar! 1t will probably take the agent from three to
four weeks to get through with the count. Mean
while the money lying idle, the brokers making the
run lose fifteen hundred two thousand dollars
in the way of interest, the business community are
pressed for lack of needful money facties-ali cas-
ses suffer loss, none obtain any good. Atlanta and
Interior money passes as readily to-day when the
war commenced. Nobody expects the war to
run of circulation. And if it could, everybody
knows its place would be supplied by currency Of
which we know less and which there would be
strong probability of suffering serious loss Our pre-
sent banking law is too stringent to give
cy equal to the demand. But nobody is moving to
secure such amendments as would remove this obec-
ton to it. The war is exclusively a money war
money against money-with enough of personality in
it to give it exhilarating spice. The brokers and
the bankers do the fddng-the people pay the fd-
dlers. 1t may be sport to those who active par
ticipants-but it entails incalculabe mischief upon
those who not. The dollar coin and other
contingents, will probably bring the currency war to
a speedy conclusion. If, however. the allies should
conclude to winter in the CIimea, we doubt not Sc
bastopol will be just strong spring as it is
now.

Call in Buffalo.

Our eastern friends, en route for Kan
sas, having occasion to call in Buffalo,
N. Y, will do well to stop at the Niagara
Temperance House. They will have
every desirable accommodation, besides
having an opportunity of making the ae-
quaintance of III. A. BILLINGS, Esq, our
General Agent, who sojourns at this
House. He keeps himself fully supplied
with information relating to the Territory,
which he will be happy to communicate
to those in want of knowledge on this
subject. He has also arrangements with
railroads, and other means of convey
ance west from that point, by which he
can furnish tickets from that point to
Kansas city, No., at reduced rates.

Surety of the Peace.

E. Chapman, of this city, was required
last week to furnish security to keep
the peace, on complaint of one of our
citizens, before j. s. EMERY, ESQ.,; and
on refusal TO do so. was sent to the Mar
slial of the Territory for safe-kceping.-
Chief justice LEcoMPrE finally took bail
from him to answer before the Supreme
Court, first term, in the sum of 81 900.
The prisoner had frequently threatened
the lives of several of our citizens; and
his course of conduct for weeks past has
been such rs TO demand the Intervention
of the civil authorities. Only two days
previous to his arrest. he was brought up
before the magistrate, on complaint Of
three persons, for presenting a revolver
and threatning to shoot them; but for
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. was discharged.

Advertising

We have concluded to open a limited
space in our columns for advertisements !;
but are determined to protect the general
reader as far as possible against an en-
croaehment on the original and selected
matter, by demanding liberal cornpensa-
ton for our services. The very large
circulation in the eastern States which
the Herald has received, besides the
heavy circulation In every part OF
Kansas Territory, justifies us in saying
that to those who wish TO secure the trade
or patronage of the people of the Terrific
~, or who are seeking location here,
there is no better advertising medium in
the world. Our regular price will be
ten cents a line for the first insertion, and
fire cents a line for each subsequent ias-
sertion.

Nav Years Supper.

In company with large number OF
our citizens, We had the pleasure of par
taking of New Years banquet, on the
evening of the LIST inst, at the boarding
house of LIrcHFIELD d BrRLEIGH, of this
city. We were disappointed, first, in see
ing so many ladies in attendance, hardly
supposing there were so many in the
Territory and. secondly, in finding ON
the occasion so great a variety of dish
es. and all 50 excellently prepared.
We seemed to forget, for the time be-
ing, that We were away from the conven-
fences and refinements of eastern life.
All appeared in excellent health and spir-
its, and, as one speaker very happily re-
marked, rather contrasted with the con-
dition he was told in St. Louis he would
find the people in-that the Yankees at
Lawrence were literally starving for the
necessaries of life.
Mr.. LIrcHFIELD was the pioneer in
Kansas in the way of keeping boarding
house. We are informed that he COM
menced operations by large log. in the
open air, where he did his cooking. and
has worked his way along, sometimes
feeding as many as two hundred and fifty
persons per day at his pioneer boarding
house"
To our eastern friends, accustomed to
city life, We should regret description of
his residence, now surrounded with so
many conyeniences but at future day
they shall have picture of early pioneer
life in Kansas and if daguerreotypist
shall visit us, we will give them few en-
cravings, particularly of the public Jsi!d-
ings. Those who wish to procure good
board and comfortable quarters in Law
renee will do well to look in ON our
| friends.
