From lfoundspille.-A new correspondent
from MOundsyille- vox-under date Of ssatur-
day, sends US a communication, from which we
take few extracts. In speaking of the Camp
Meeting he describes scene:
just on the outside of the tents, lin COM
pany with several others, was walking along,
all at once my eyes caught scene, which was
amusing, and at the same time appalling, at
first sight. man was tied to tree and brisk
fire blazing up all around him, some shouting,
John Rogers at the stake.n
There was heavy rain here yesterday even
ing and last night, which was much needed in
the way of recruiting the pastures, and reviving
the late corn.
A stranger, stopping at one of the Mounsville
Hotels was reported to have been robbed of
some $40, few nights since he was under the
influence of liquor at the time. An arrest was
made, but no proof sufficient to convict, and the
man was discharged. / think when man has
forty dollars these hard timos, he had better
stay sober.

ScandGL--In passing an Alderman's Office
yesterday, we found Mrs. Muloch making an
endless complaint to the Squire about the
scandalous ,alk of one Mrs. Post. In the
midst of Mrs. NJ. IS complaint Mrs. Post came in
flushed and excited, and proceeded to give her
version of the case. Mrs. Post was small,
nervous, fdgety little body, with a wild, watch
full, wicked black eye, and a tongue of remarka-
bic length end volubiIty. To have tongue is
nothing remarkable, but to have tongue like
Mrs. Posts is indeed wonder. No person on
earth could analyzeit, and no other tongue could
begin to rival it. In a single quarter of an hour
it gave utterance to more SANDER than twenty
common tongues of expert scandal mongers
could give utterance in twenty years. In fact
she has "a tongue of tongues, glib oily and meri-
tricious Mrs. Muloch attempted to gain say
something in regard to her husbands stealing a
ham of meat, but Mrs. Post proceeded with
tissue oflies SO overwhelming that Mrs. NJ. sunk
down in hear seat apparently ovcrpowered. =
How long Mrs. P. would have continued mad the
magistrate not dismissed her with the remark
that he had no Jurisdiction in such cases, no
one can calculate. Mrs. MULCH left the office,
looking perfect martyr to this never ceasing,
scandalous tongue, and Mrs. Post followed her.

Below we give an important communica-
ton from Mr.. HENDRICKS, Commissioner of
the Land Office at Washington, which puts
the construction upon the Land Grant Act
Of Congress, which the opponents of the 3d.
100000 Loan always contended was the
correct one-and that is, that the Compa-
MES have no land to offer as security to tile
State-not an acre-until they progress far
enough with their completed roads, so as
to reach the remoter points where lands are to
be found on each side of it, opposite to the
portion that is completed 1t is we'll known,
that for the first forty or fifty miles, there is
little or no land they can get opposite to their
roads, on each side thereof This knocks
the last prop from unde. the Swindle. The
man who, with this record before him, will
still sustain the $dO00,0OO Loan, goes for it
with his eyes open to the fact, that the State
is entirely unsecured for the Loan, and that
our only reliance for its honest application to
building the roads, and not its appropriation
as plumber, depends entirely On the integrity of
the Railroad Officers themselves, some of
whom are the very men but recently engag

An Unfortunate RIundert

The st. Paul .4doertiser of the 9th inst,
in contrasting the weather here in Minnesota
during March, with the temperature at Holli-

the blunder of reporting, that on the 18th
of March, the mercury in the Thermometer
here at st. Paul, at o'clock, A. NJ, indcat
ed degree of cold equivalent to 1G Q beiow
zero when the truth is, that it was so much
abo0e zero at that time We doubt
not, this was typographical blunder; but
weekly paper has much less excuse for
such an accident than daily paper. Should
we follow the small tactics of its ally of the
Times, we would take advantage of this err
ror, and represent it as willul falsehood !;
or even if we were disposed to be unfair as it
is itself, We would Ia Times, characterize
this blunder as only part of a deliberate sys-
TEN by the .4dregtiser to unduly depreciate
the climate as well as the business character
of Minnesota But we don't make any
such absurd accusation. We believe the ed

To the Editors of the Minnesotian.
GENTS Please take notice that there are

brides, nor bowed the knee to the Railroad
Swindle, and myself and neghbors are of
them. The course pursued by the Winona
delegation in the Legislature both in regard
to your press and upon the Swindling bill, we
consider uncalled for and unjust. They act
as if they deemed themselves the people 8
masters-bnt there are some around my
diggings who are yet free-and invite them
one and all to meet us in the town of Beaver
and discuss the 100000 Loan Bill. They
can set their own timc-give US due notice.

MankatO all RiUht9

The Mankato Independent of the Goth, thus
speaks of the state of sentiment in that vici-
nifty upon the Loan Swindle
Gas far as we are able to learn, we find
that the five million loan bill has but few
supporters in this vicinity. We find that
many persons who were at first favorably
disposed towards the measure, have, upon a
careful reading and investigation of the bill
as finally passed, determined to oppose it.
1t only needs but thorough sitting to OK
pose the carefully concealed deformities of
the swindle, and awaken the people to true
sense of the danger impending upon the adop-
ton of the proposed amendment to the Con
stitution,"
Here as another paragraph from the same
pape'. The progress of truth is onward
"The leading disputant in favor of the five
million loan bill, in the discussion before the
Lyceum on Friday night week, has, after an
examination of the bill, withdrawn his sup
port and is now one of its most inveteratc
opponents. This is result that must inevi-
tally follow Investigation Of the monster

Outrage at st. ClOud-Mrs. Swfsshe lm.s
Press Destroyed by Mob!


1--WE had prepared lengthy account for
yesterdays paper of the dastardly outrage
committed at st. Cloud on Mrs. Swisshelm's
press, but it was crowded out by other matter
The facts are these
On the oath of March the office of the St.
Cloud Pisi'or, WIS broken open in the dark
by some rpffians, the press destroyed, and
the type and fixtures of the office thrown in
to the street and river.
On the ensuing evening large meeting of
citizens assembled at the Stearns House r.
suant to general call, to learn from Mrs. S.
herself an account of the matter and it's caus-
es, and express their indignation at the out
rage.
The Hon. G. 7. Stearns was called to the
Chair, and n Smith chosen Secretary.
Mrs. Swisshelm then read an account of the
matter, &c. AMI the causes which led to it.
After which on motion the Chair, appoint
ed committee of five to draft resolutions
expressive Of the sense Of the meeting, who
were among the most influential citizens OF
St. Cloud.
Also business committee to devise ways
and means to ensure the speedy republica-
ton of the Pisitor
The first committee reported set Of reso-
lutions censurng the perpetrators Of the
cOwardly outrage, whom they termed as
"thieves, burglars, and assassins" worthy of
home in the Penitentiary, condemning them
in no measured terms, sustaining Mrs. Swiss
helm and her course, and offering to protect
and assist her when the Visitor shall be again
published, which were adopted unanimously,
and the meeting adjourned.
This is the true account of the matter
and differs from the partial and one sided YER
sion given by the Sank Rapids Frontiermaa
the writing editor of which is relative by
marriage of the chief investigator of the out
rage. They have been properly rebuked,
however, for this high-handed outrage in at
tempting to stife and crush free press in
such mean manner. Let the decent citi-
zens of st. C,opd see to it that Mrs. S. is a.
gain established and well sustained, ss they
have resolved. One such paper as hers is of
more value to their town than hundred of
