Correspondence with the War Depart

The foregoing, and that published in Saturday
paper, is the correspondence which thought, as
stated in my first number, Mr.. Emerson's attacks
upon me might make it necessary for me to publish.
1t has been agreeable task to me, give it to the
public; but as Mr. Emerson learnt nothing from my
leniency with him last winter, when he was so fierce
to attack me on account of my management of the
roads, and when 1 had it in my power to make this
same expose, but was commencing again his old game
with me, and that without the slightest reason there
for, believed that patience had had her perfect
work, and the public would sustain me in making the
expose I have.

Sir-I regret to learn that efforts have been made
to induce you remove Capt. Simpson Of the Topo-
graphical Engineers from his position superntend-
ent of public roads in Minnesota. The appropria.
tons made by Congress have been and are being ex-
pended under his personal direction, and can bear
testimony to the judicious and careful manner in
which he has discharged his duties. Capt. Simpson
is better acquainted with the routine Of the business
and with the responsibility of contractors, than any
other man can possibly be, and, in my judgment, the
public interests would lie seriously affected b, the
substitution of any other individual however capable,
for Capt. S.
The acknowledged ability of Capt. Simpson as a
scientific man, and his high character as an officer
and gentleman, afford the surest guarantee to the
Department and to tie public, that the funds provid-
ed Tor the construction OF roads in this Territory will
be expended in the most economical manner, and with
a due regard to the wants and wishes Of those most
interested. have the honor to be,
