The Pioneer in g Queer way.

Unable to refute the points we have made
showing the ignorance, self-sufhciency and
vanity of Bogus Governor SHELLEY, the Pio-
neer of yesterday retorts in an article abus-
ing Gov. RAMsEY--an individual by the way
now in private station whose crimes are :
being wiser and shrewder man than the
Indian Trader, and having beaten him for the
Gubernatorial Office by the honest and fairly
cast votes of the people; which result com-
PEELED S1BLEY and his friends to forge cleo
ton returns enough, and reject honest votes
enough to obtain for him the certificate from
the majority Of the Board of Canvassers,
namely, those two precious rascals, JuGeLER
r. Brown and SAM MEpARY.
The principal point the Pioneer makes
against ALEXANDER RAMSEY" is, that he
"and the men who surround him have deter
mined to ruin the &dte!"
Isn't this amusing?
Now, it is generally thought that Mr.. RAM
sEY has some interest in not seeing the State
"ruined |" One of these reasons that strikes
us most prominently is, that in that event,
with his large property ramifed in every di-
rection, he would very probably .6nd himse!,
ruined along sOnh the s0hole body politict
But the Pioneer after its own peculiar fash
ion clinches the argument on this head by
referring to our ridicule of the unlawyer-ke,
unstatesman-like recommendation of SIBLEY
to tax 'he improvements on unpatented lands
even il tie lands themselves couldn't be tax
ed; and it then says:
If the MrNNEsoTIAS's objections were sustained
by the Legislature, the entire burden ct taxa Son
would fall within a narrow scope of country. ana
be borne almost entirely by the more populous
toWns," -
A little further along it draws from this
and other premises the cage deduction
"And in this result Gov RAMSEY. and the
clique which surrounds the MIxNEsorIAx, would
find their account and be satisfied"
Really! Isn't this good? Editor Coop
RICH, whose hand we recognize in this article,
which was doubtless written after due con-
sutation with bis friend S1BLEY, had better
60 abroad again and surrender the pen edito-
rial into Mills hand once more for though
coarse fellow enough, we do not think the
sub,editor would have drawn SO silly a con-
cluson from such premises.
Just look at it. II, as argues the Pioneer,
the improvements on unpatented lands are
not taxed, the "more popi1ous tosoms" will
have to bear the main burden of taxation
Ergo, as Governor RAMsEY's property is
nOtoriously and almost exclusively Town
PROPERTY, and not a little of it in the "pop-
aioas tom" Of ST Paul, he would find has
account" in seeing his property pouBLY
TAXED, and, consequently, that this is the
reason the MINNEsorrAN, at his alleged insti-
cation, ridicules Mister S1BLEY's proposition
of dividing improvements" from the real es-
tate and taxing them separately!!
Was ever absurdity greater
Suppose Editor GooDRrcH tries again.
This, his first effort at leading editorial
since his return from the east, is not calculat-
ed to add to his reputation for force, point,
or strong argument, however we'll it might
pass off for fine writing.

The Difficulty between Senators Wilson
and Gvin Settled.

We see by the news from Washington
that the difficulty between Senator's WILSON
of Massachusetts, and GwIN of California
have been adjusted. Senator's ORIrTENDEN,
SEWARD and DAVIS acted as friendly com
mittee of adjustment. This committee drew
up statement that Mr.. GwIE in calling Mr..
WILSON a F." demagogue" for his opposition
to the California appropriations imputed un-
worthy motives to the latter; and yet, not
withstandiug this, Mr.. w. was by no means
justified in using the very approbious epithet
contained in the phrase with which be retail.
lated, that it was better to be demagogue
than thief" After stating other things in
connection, the committee add:
ave are possessed of fact which, indeed, is
apparent on the face of the reported debate that
Mr. Wilson in nsinc the epithet e,nnioved did not
impute any want OF personal integrity or honor to
Mr.. Gv'in, but merely reflected upon his course OF
legislation in regard to California which Mr.. Will
son deemed extravagant and wasteful, although
the expression as obviously liable TO an offensive
and dishonoring constructions with this disclaim-
cr adopted by Mr.. Wilson, We hold that Mr.. Gwin
is bound TO withdraw the disrespectful language
required by Mr.. Wilson and Withdrawal from
MIR. Gwin shall be deemed to have been made by
them respectively, when they shall have express
ed in writing their assent to this report. f
Messrs Gw1N and WILSON both gave their
signatures to this adjustment; and SO the
matter has ended, and we are glad of it.
What would have been the consequences had
not the affair been thus settled, we can only
conjecture Senator WILSON it is we'll known,
would not accept a challenge to fight duel;
but, as 10 the Books matter avowed his in
tention to defend himself, however and when
ever attacked If Mr. GwIN had tried ona
personal assault vi ct armis there might have
been unpleasant results to himself-perhaps
to both sides.
A person familiar with past political his
tory can understand the peculiar sensitive
ness of Mr. Gw1N to the appelation OF thief
In the early part of Jackson's administration
he was, if our recollection serves us correctly

capacity became large defanlter to govern.

nuRING visit to St Paul a week since,
we called at the new and commodious rooms
occupied as the Republican headquarters,
where we found Jared Benson, Esq, cordial
aud agreeable as ever, and deeply Interested
in whatever is of Importance to the Republi-
c,n party. A better man for the position he
occupies--Chairman of the Central Conmit-
tee--we believe could not be found, and the
party in ali sections of the State may rest as.
sured that tle interests of our cause are we'll
attended to. He is initiating complete and
thorough organization Of the party through
out the State, and proposes before another
election to have matters in fire working order.

are cordially invited TO cali at the rooms O.

The compliment to Mr.. BENSON in the
the above article is deserved. Republicans
from the interior should not fail to visit The

The Important necison a Hoax,

1t will be seen by the following letter from
Senator JONES, Of Iowa, to citizen of Du-
buque, that the reported decision of the Su-
preme Court Of the United States, that the
unpatented public lands which have been
entered, are not subject to taxation by The
local authorities, turns out to be fabrica-
ton.
The report Of such decision has gone the
rounds of the papers Of the United States,
and it seems that Mr.. BARNEY, of Dubuque,
wrote to Senator JONES to ascertain the truth
in relation to the matter. Mr.. JONES has
written in reply as follows:
WAsHINGToN CRY, June Is, 1853
SIR ii called on the Clerk of the q. s.
Supreme Court, relative to the decision OF
the Supreme Court of tie United States with
regard 70 the illegaty Of taxing lands before
the issue Of the patents. He informs me that
there is no such opinion given; and as he
owns much land in the West that is subject
to taxation, which would be exempt un-
der such decision as that referred to by
you, he would certainly know as to the deci
sion, if any such has been made. He says
the newspaper report is without the least
foundation.

a fine farming country around, and generally
level. A good deal of attention is beginning
to be paid here to the cultivation Of fruit.
Several brick and some very neat dwellings
are to be seen mere.
Thus far, the country from Cairo up has
been pretty dense forest, but now we have
only occasional groves; and, some 8 or 10
miles after leaving De Sofa, we are on the
open prairie.
The next place is Du Quoin. where are
coal mines which yield very abundantly and
are very near the surface. In many places
around coal is found at depth varying from
8 to IL feet. This is evidently growing
place, and has population of about 1900.
At 81. John's the next station is large coal
bed worked closed to the road, and the coal
is found about five feet below. This is appa-
rently new town, and there are not many
