while making reconnaissance near Sebastopol,
was knocked down by the wind Of = cannon !,
ball, and the shock was SO severe as to cause
n par alysis of1his tongue, so that he could
neither move tor speak. Obtaining leave

After few shocks he could move his
tongue with more facility and at length,
after an unusually powerful shock. his speech
was restored, and he was fully recovered.

Well Timed.

There are those who strive for popularity
or, perhaps, more appropriately speaking-no
toriety, by annually abusing those members O
our Legislature who do not choose to be whip
ped into their particular line of interest, aut
to be controlled by their dictum. The boast
ing, domineering clique who were defeated OF
the Printing question on Wednesday, are o
this class. 1t is natural they should feel sore
under so severe castigation and it is not the
part of magnanimity to taunt them with harsh
language in the hour of their sad adversely.
| We write not with this purpose.
1t is part of the history of the past three
months, that the Pioneer, and its aid-de-camp,
the Times have proclaimed from day to day
almost, that their course upon a certain great
question had been fully endorsed by the people;
and that, when the Legislature convened, they
would have things all their own way. A brag-
gart, bullying course was adopted in the edto-
rial columns of these journals; and no man
even though he were private citizen-could
cross their path, without drawing down upon
his devoted head the most vituperative epi-
thets from their pens that our language is ca
pable ofaffording.
"Public opinion was on their side, and the
Pioneer was to have all the printing!" This
was the cry; and when it was given out that
all the printing was to 60 to the Pioneer, it
was we'll understood that the Pioneers edito-
rial friends, up st. Anthony street, were to
share in the spoils. .
Well, the Legislature has convened, and be-
hold the result! AS a natural consequence of
such open arrogance. backed only by falsehood
and unfounded assumption, the Printing takes
entirely another direction. The sentiment of
the people, as reflected from their repre-
sentatives, puts its heel upon the Pioneer and
its friends, and sustans men as public
printers, who are publicly known as being
among the Pioneers most decided opponents
in regard to the great local question upon
which that journal has attempted to hold pow
er and influence in Minnesota. That the mem
bers who were instrumental in bringing this
result about will be fully sustained in the act
by their constituents, we have not particle of
doubt. The rebuke was well timed and it's
moral effect will long be felt for the benefit Of
Minnesota, and regarded as warning to all
men who wish to rule by the ruin of their
neighbors.
There is cry now set up, that the dsposi-
tion of this printingiis blow at St. Paul. Heav-
en- pity St. Paul when she is so far gone, that
her welfare or even a day of her prosperity is
dependant upon any one of her presses, or all
of them combined, getting few thousand dol
lars worth of Legislative printing!
