LORD RAcLAN.-A letter writer, speaking Of
the headquarters of this gentleman, says:
ssHis Lordship lives in large house appropri-
ated to the purpose, about two miles from the
front camp, and maintains in grand style with his
suit of apartments, and silver plate and service.
The house and tables for his grooms and horses,
the large marques of his officers, and the guard
tents pitched around with flags floating from them,
form quite military settlement and gay
scene."
No wonder that the people of England found
fault with tho Ministry for maintaining this bonn
bastic Lord.
The correspondent of the London Times brings
the hammer part of his pen down on the head of
his Lordship in the following style:
"Lord Raglan shows neither ideas nor genius
nay, not even energy. He seems to live in the
ply evrey want by his cherished Peninsular recol-
lections, imagining that what was excellent in
1909 in Spain and Portugal must needs be the
best in the Crimea in 1854 and 1855. But with
all his recollcctions, he seems to forget that imi
tatiDg few peculiarities of the old duke makes q
great general just little as taking snuff imparts
the genius Of a Napoleon. He tries to copy, and
is,therefore, usual, carcature of the original
Because the duke did not care about exposing
himself when it was necessary to do so he exposed
himself often when it was not wanted-nay, he
exposed himself for the sake of exposing himself
instead of choosing his position whore he
could best and overlook the action. saw him
myself, in the battle of Inkermann, occupying du-
ring grea tpart of the day, position where the
cooked hat soon attracted an enviable notice from
the enemy's guns, and where, at the same time,
nobody could find him. The duke was cold and
harsh to his soldiers; Lord Raglan caricatures
him, and his coldness assumes character of indf-
ference.o I

RoDDERr OF MAJoR CUxx1xcnAx, PAYxAsrxn
U. s. A.-Thursday evening, the 18th inst, the
most daring robbery that every took place ii this
Territory, occurred in this city. Before bed
time, three men, with their faces covered, entered
the quarters Of Major Cunningham, Paymastcr
United States Army, whom they seized BY the
throat and knocked senselcss with stick Of wood.
They then took from his pocket the key Of his
iron safe, which they opened and robbed Of
large amount of public money. They went out
by the front door, which they locked behind them,
having entered by the back way, through the cor
raj. Il Is not yet known how much money they
took, but it will amount to several thousand dof-
lars It was kept in two iron safes, one Of which,
it is known they entered the key being left in it.
Major Cunningham had intended leaving that
morning for, Fort Defiance, to pay the troops
there, but was unwell and could not 60; and tho
robbery must have been committed BY those Who
knew the premises well. and that be had large
amount Of money in bis quarters: This robbery
was one of more than usual boldness, the hour
being before bed time, and two gentlemen being
up and talking in an adjoining room. The Major
is badly, but we hope not dangerously injured.-
We have since learned that the amount Of money
taken was about $40, 000.-Sarta Fs Gazette.

THE RAILROAD QUESTION.


So far at least as Congress is concerned, we
think this question is settled in favor Of the Rail-
road Company, the Senate having refused to con-
cur with the House in the annulmcnt of the char
ter. Well so be it. We have fought the mat
ter long and desperately not the Railroad but the
fraud upon which the Railroad was based, be-
heving that Company which would ccnnive at
or sanction the alteration of the Bill, would prove
curse and o monopoly to our Territory. We
have never been unfaItering in this position, but
on all occasions, and from the very commence
ment Of the discussion have maintained the same
views. How far we are correct in these views,
time only will determine, but we could not then
nor can We now, nor ever will we sanction that
which we know to be q deliberate wrong. Had
the original Company allowed the Bill To pass
Congress without mutilation, and had the people
OF Minnesota been permitted to actupon the char
ter as was the intention of the Bill, through their
Representatives, all the pickering, and hard feel
ing and opposition they have encountered would
have been avoided, and to-day there could not
have been found man who would have raised
his voice against the Company, or the measure; !;
but no, they sought to impose upon the people of
this Territory, but the people at once arose and
resented it, and out of this grew formidable op-
position. The election was carried on the issue
of fraud or no fraud, and the position taken by
the TINES was sustained. The repeal of the Bill
by Congress was caused by the Fraud, and had
not monied influence been brought to bear on our
Legislature, that body would have passed resolu.
tions .condemning the act of bad men, and so far
every position taken by us would have been tri-
umphantly sustained. But when we learned that
the House Bill, annuling the charter, had gone to
the Committee Of the Senate, of which Jones and
Douglas were members, and interested in the sue
cess of the Railroad, and when we saw the action
of our own Legislature, brought about by means
best known to those interested, we felt very con-
fdent that the Committee would report adversely
to the action of the House, and that the Compa-
ny would be successful in retaining the charter.
From all We can learn, such is the case. Very
we'll; be it so. We submit to the action of ssthe
powers that be," and if the Company will 90 on
and build the Railroad, and if they will carry out
even tho provisions of their liberal charter, we
shall be the last to oppose them; but if they do
not, then let those who have been so fast to throw
the interests of our Territory into the hands of
Wall street speeulators without proper safe
guards, bear the responsibility. Go on, gentle
men /; give US the road, and let's see if you will
fulfil your contract. a la fa aolq vsdj I

TIE BoUSrY LAND BnL.-This Bill, which gives
two hundred millions of acres of land to the old
soldiers, has received the signature of the Presi-
dent. and is now law. We regret the passage
of this Bill, not that we wish to take from the old
soldiers any thing which may be the means Of
comforting them in their old age, but we believe
the Bill will be the means of causing speculation
to run rampant, and therby keep the lands from
development. The only and proper way for the
Government to put stop to such speculation is
to give to actual settlers certain number of acres
of land they can cultivate and call their own
Then this speculation in Government lands will
cease, but not until then.
