Kelley received such a severe blow that he did not

W~ The literature of war is previously ex-
emplifed in the following cool writing from
the London Times:
1--WE may suppose-and it is neither an i'm
probable nor an agreeable supposition-that
the loss of the two sides was in much the same
ratio as at the battle of the Alma-that is two
to one in our favor. At this rate, in about a
week we should lose five thousand to ten thou
and of the enemy, and in two months time
should achieve the destruction of $4,000 Rus
slams, at the cost of the whole Allied army.
There is nothing at all out of the way in this
calculation, when it is considered that we have
to throw into our losses the constant drain by
sickness. AS matter of fact, this is and al
ways has been, the Russian mode of warfare.
That power, mancipis locuple, egens 0ris, al
ways has been lavish of life, and ready to
pay two of its own for one of the foe. The
artillery men who turned their guns on the
melee of British and Russian cavalry on the
25th acted on the customary calculation that
Russian dragon counted for nothing when
there was an opportunity of destroying Brit
ish one. Whenever, then, the enemy can at
taclr'us with reasonable hope of losing only
two to our one, we may depend upon it that
he will and that the Emperor will hail it as a
victory over US. He will not grudge two
Borodinos to destroy the two invading armies.
When such is the calculation evidently acted
upon, and the result answers to it, what is it
but question of supply? All things con-
sidered, we really cannot expect to continue
always killing and wOunding two Russians to
our one at least we cannot hope to do more
than this; we may do less. At all events, if
the contest goes on at its present rate, our
forces now in the Crimea will be DESTROYED
somewhere about New Years Day, and we
shall have the doubtful satisfaction of know
ing that the Russians have lost twice as manv.
but are at last, masters of the feld."-

A SON OF ST. ANDREW.
For the Daily Pioneer.
Anniversary of the Battle Of New Or
leans.

1 noticed in your issue of December 30th,
an article headed Eighth of January Celebra-
ton" doubt not it will meet the views and
feelings Of not only the entire Democracy, but
of all parties. Andrew Jackson, whose deeds
of "noble daring" on the battle field, it is in
tended to commemorate, has ceased to be the
Idol of a particular party, the memory of his
greatness is the property Of the Nation-of
the World. The same tomb that encloses his
hallowed remains, should obliterate from men,
DRY all the bitter feelings of party, and his vir-
tues should alone be remembered. And on
each returning anniversary, that heart does
not throb in an American bosom, that pulsates
not with increased energy at the bare mention
of his name, who, though reared in the wilds
of the West, was the noblest tree of the for
est, and our thoughts run back on "memory's
telegraph binding the present with the past.
1t is duty not only due to the illustrious
dead, but to our posterity to meet on fitting
occasions and rehearse the numerous virtues of
our patriot fathers. Affection prompts it, du-
ty commands it, patriotism compels it.
Next in praise and thanksgiving to that
God who is the author of all good, should be
our reverence and regard for those who have
been the instruments in planning and carrying
out those great and grand policies which have
made us all powerful and prosperous as Ma
tion
1t is not as military chieftain, "baptized
in BLOOD" that we reverence the memory of
Andrew jackson. With him "peace had his
victories" no less renowned than War.
1 would therefore wish that, the day pass
not without being held in remembrance by a
celebration worthy the occasion, and for one,
l feel that "it would be good for us to be
there" R. S. S. A.

no information on the subject. Whereupon,
Mr.. Stevens moved reference of the subject to
the Executive Committee. -

for adjournment so as to make it read " on

sition would be made by which gentlemen from
various Counties, who are interested in Agri-
culture, and are now present, can be admitted
to the floor.
Capt. Holcombe moved to amend the fifth
section OF the Bylaws, so as to allow the cti-
zens of counties where there are not organized
societies, but who are present at this meeting
to participate in its proceedings.
Mr.. Stevens, in the absence of the report by
the Executive Committee on the subject, mov-
ed that the Hon. H. H. Sibley be invited to
deliver the next annual address before the So

MIR. Sibley declined, but the motion was
pressed by the mover and adopted.
On motion of Mr.. Hotchkiss, a committee
of three, consisting of Messrs Hotchkiss, s.

on Mr.. SibleY and officially communicate the
resolve Of the Society.

Territorial Road from st. Paul to Trav.
erse des Sioux.

A survey has just been completed I'M
der the superintendent of Messrs. Mel
son Roberts and Joseph Guion, as commits
sioners, by D. McCallum, Surveyor; for a
Road from st. Paul to Traverse DIES Sioux.
Commencing at the Ferry on the west side
of the Mississippi River, opposite the lower
town of St. Paul. from thence running in a
south-easterly course, ascending the bluff
near where the town road passes to Kapo-
sia, then taking southwest course leaving
Mendoza about half mile to the west,
pursuing the same course and following the
ridge bounding Black Dog Prairie on the
northeast, it enters Black Dog Prairie near
the southern extremity, and from thence
the route is through Oak Openings, and
Rolling Prairie, until after crossing Credit
River, near the 10 mile post, and at the
crossing of the old road, it enters Shakopee
Prairie east of said road. From thence the
route is nearly west until it reaches the
town of Shakopee, 90 miles from st. Paul
Passing through Shakopee on End street,
its course lies in southwest direction en-
tering Sand Prairie, and crossing Sand creek
near the present crossing and following the
general course Of the old road, it passes
through Roberts Prairie and enters the Big
Woods near the point where the old road
crosses Roberts Creek, making the distance
from st. Paul 49 miles, and from Shakopee
20 miles. Theroute through the Big Woods
is nearly in direct line, and materially
shortening the distance now travelled
After leaving the Big Woods, it enters
LIE Suer at Commerce street, 60 miles from
St. Paul, 80 miles from Shakopee, and -
miles from Roberts Claim. Leaving LIE
Suer, its course bears more to the South,
crossing LIE Suer Prairie, it strikes the Riv-
er at Traverse DIES Sioux, making the whole
distance from ST. Paul. 81 ga miles. This
route as laid out and surveyed is shorter,
and through far more pleasant portion of
the country than the one now travelled.
