The hue and cry put forth by the Pioneer
in regard to the forged endorsements on our
new city orders, is pure bosh. Nothing of
the kind is possible, unless, they wero exc
cuted in their own office. May be on that
score, there is some truth in it. as they seem
to be the only ones who know anything about
it. That's stop thief" arrangement.

the victims, as they lie scattered promiscu-

happen every day, as there are dozen rum

papers east say that ladies are learning this

~ The Pensions proposed by the Bill
now pending in Congress are not confined to
those injured in the service, nor even to those
who have been in actual service-but are to
be granted to all who were enrolled, even if
they never left home. Each mans pension,
for life, to be equal to the full pay of the rank

DIED.-On Saturday last, for want of nour-
ishment, the Weekly Neaos Letter, aged about
five weeks. The subject Of this obituary
came into the world with brilliant prospects,
and bid fair to enjoy long life. But, alas !
the hopes of its friends were doomed to bitter
disappointment. 1t was early deserted by
one of its parents, and under the heartless
pretense of having no time" &c. The tre-
mendous responsibility Of caring for the semi
orphan being laid on the surviving parent,
nature was unequal to the task. The Neacs
Letter gave signs of decay, and soon died
natural death. Rest quiet cat in peace!

UNION AssOCIATIoN.-We learn from the
Pioneer that the annual meeting of this Asso-
citation for the election Of officers, was held on
Wednesday afternoon at the Office of VIM.
Sp.igg Hall, Esq. DR.. Vim. II. Morton pre-
sided. The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year:
Presiaent--Hon r. R. Nelson.
Tce-P e-Pssidents-Wm. L. Banning, West
colt Wilkin, Andrew Levering, Howard Linds-
ley, A. c. Jones, and Col. D. A. Robertson.
Treasurer-Harwood Iglehart.
Secretary-James Mills.
1t was resolved to " celebrate" any inter-
esting event that could be discovered in the
history of the Middle States, by supper at
the .Winslow House, on Tuesday evening,
January IL. To carry out this design, Com
mittee of Arrangements consisting of Messrs
John P. Owens, R. F. Houseworth, B. w.
Lott, Capt I. c. George, VIM P. Murray, DR..
j. II. Stewart, and Harwood Igehart, was
appointed.
On motion, MessrS. James Mills, W. Sprigg
Hall, and Andrew Levering, were appointed a
Committee on Toasts and "a" Pome."
The proposition to have union celebration
at St. Anthony was quietly passed over, ow-
ing to conscientious scruples on the part of
some of the members to confning themselves
exclusively to cold water and root beer at the
supper table"
"A FREE FIGuT.-It is said that the literal
definition of " A Free Fight" is when you are
permitted to resist aggression, or resent in
suits and unprovoked assaults, without having
to pay for it. We witnessed an illustration
of this most just principle yesterday near the
Winslow House. Johnathan and Charles,
We will call them, who were working together
on the street walks were pounced upon by
three men who had been disappointed in not
getting the same job. Now Johnathan and
Charles both being athletic and strong, mas
tered their assaiants, gave them sound
whaling, and tumbled them down the bluff"
lnJuring two of the parties of quite severely.
But the guardians of the law were not
just then about, so Johnathan and Charles
continued their labors, and did not have to pay
their hard earnings back to the city as
free" contribution to the exchequer.

ii trust as above, or may require foreclo-
sure of the mortgage executed to secure the
same," as the greater or less gravity of the
default might require.
l have thus set forth, in as brief terms as
the nature of the case would admit, the cir
cumstances under which the loan of State
credit was authorized by the people, the con-
ditions upon which it was made, and the Sc
cuiites exacted by the State The early
completion of the Railroads being indispens-
ihle to the prosperity of the State, in develop
ing her resources, the loan amendment was
adopted, as he has stated, with singular un-
animity.
Minnesota is much the largest State in the
Northwest, being more than twice the size of
iowa, and III her climate, soil and the excel
ience OF her cereal productions she is not sur
passed: Her population is mainly of emigrants
from New England, New York, PENNSYLVANIA,
anu the W c>tern States The rapdity with
which she has advanced is without precedent.
| even in the history of the West In 1850 her
census tables showed less than 5000 people.
and comparatively small amount of proper
ty. In 1858, although no regular census has
been taken, it is estimated that her population
amounts to nearly quarter of million and
the Auditor of State reports the taxable pro-
perty to be more than $50, 100000.
In view Of this statement of facts, the sim
pie question for capitalists to determine is,
whether the bonds of Minnesota, issued with
the sanction of vast majority Of her people,
without distinction of party, and backed by
securities of unquestionable character and
value, are not as desirable as means Of in
yestment as those Of any other State in the
Union. ....

ponds are issued by the Governor until they
are thoroughly examined and reported upon
