Card from GOrden Il. Cole ESQ., ne.
publican Candidate for Attorney
General.

ST. PAUL, Aug. 20.
To the Editors Of the Minnssotian:
was surprised to learn on my arrival IN
your city this morning, that the Democratic
Candidate for Attorney General had challeng-
ed me to public discussion Of the issues
made by the two parties in this canvass.
This contest is not of my seeking. AS
you are aware, the article in your paper Of the
2Sd inst, was published without my know
ledge. Now, make no pretension to the ex-
tensive reputation which my opponent posses
es. The respect due to the acknowledged
abilities of that gentleman, I shall ever be
among the first to accord and in his nomin-
alton, recognise the most fattering compli-
ment which the Democracy could have paid
me- But, while l neither seek nor desire the
distinction to be found in personal comparis
on, yet, such is my confidence in the strength
of those principles which, with the other can
didates upon the Republican Ticket, l have
the honor to represent, that l shall not shrink
from the issue thus rendered me.
regret, that prior to the appearance o
Mr.. BRIsBIN's card, arrangements had beer
made which leave only one week at my dis
posal prior to September Goth; after which
time l shall be engaged in the preparation
and trial of my cases in the District Court o
my own county. Icheerfully accept, however
Mr.. BR1sB1N's polite invitation to signify tn
time, place and manner, when, and where il
which will meet him, and subjoin the follow
ing appointments for the week at my com
mand -
At Wilton, Waseca Co., Monday, Sept. 9Th.
Faribault, Rice Co.. Tuesday, Sept. 9Th.
Owatonna, Steele Co., Wednesday, Sept 7th.
Mantorville, Dodge Co., Thursday, Sept. sth
Rochester, Olmsted Co., Friday, Sept. 9Th.
Winona, Winona Co., Saturday, Sept. 10th.
Such further arrangements respecting tn
order in which we shall speak, hour of the da
&C., can readily be made either by ourselve
or the Central Committees.
In conclusion have to say, that | disclail
all responsibility for the tone of the artic
contained in your paper of the Esd, as I pr
sumo Mr.. BRIsBIN does, for that of the a
ticles in the Pioneer which provoked it.
Respectfully, G. E. Cole.

The Democratic PlatfOrms...Att the Cap
ftal aud at the Post Office.

The Democratic Platform at the Capital
was set up, it is said, by 10. R. Brown. The
one in the Post Office Square must have been
built on the same principles.
The distinguishing feature of the juggler's
style of architecture, "now you see it, and
now you don't see it, gentlemen" was stri-
kingly illustrated in the Post Office Square
Platform. in the midst of General Shields
particularly heavy speech. We doubt if any
platform could have stood such an amount Of
prosaic, antiquated nonsense as the General
got off. The Democratic Platform collapsed
under it. The General should have chosen for
his text, that very excellent extract from the
Scriptures, CA little while and l am with
you, and yet again little while and l am not
with you"
Here" said the General, "you have a
platform upon which we can all stand" The
next instant the Generals venerable head was
seen disappearing behind the foot lights.
"Oh. what fall was there, my countrymen,
Then YOU and and all of us fell down,
| And the bloody Republicans triumphed over us!'

DAKOTA MATTERs.-Post Master Cave re-
turned yesterday from Dakota Territory,
where he has been on a prospecting tour in
company with Ex-Gov. Kidder, j. W. Kerr,
Chase, Dunwell, and others. The remainder
of the party have driven their stakes at Sioux
Falls City, and remained to attend to their in
terests. At the Capital City there is especial
thrift and prosperity, and the settlers through
out the valley are in the best of cheer.
We are indebted to Mr.. Cave for the Sec
ond number of the Dakota Democrat, which
gives additional news of the progress of things
in general in the Territory. Weare inclined
to think, however, that Samuel is looking out
for No. l, am ng the chances-real estate or
other operations, to the exclusion of the nee
essary attention editorally to his paper-but
we can't blame him much.
Township surveys are being made to the
extent Of about 1900 square miles extending
west from the Minnesota Line across the Sioux
to the Vermillion, and from the Iowa line
north to near Lake Preston. Subdivision sur
veys were being made to a limited extent in
the immediate vicinity of Sioux Falls.

REVIVAL IN REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS
We have heard of several cash sales of City
real estate recently, at figures that betoken
revival of old prices and better times. Our
City and State is. steadily gaining in the esti-
nation of people abroad. Scarcely DO we
pick up an exchange that does not contain
letter written by some travelling editor or
other correspondent, speaking in the highest
terms of our City and the State, and their
advantages generally. Were liberal system
of advertising adopted by operators, and the
local Press supported as it should be, even
much more might be done to attract monied
visitors to our State, and influence them tt
make investments here.

MORTALITY AMONG CHILDREN.-We learn
from physicians and others that during the
last few days the mortality among children
has been much greater than ever known here
before The disease is cholera infantum.-
Persons cannot be too careful what they al

green fruit, unripe watermelons, &C., in our
market and groceries, and very cheap, too, it
is no wonder that there is much sickness and
even death

SHOOTING BURGLAR.-A nervous gent re-
siding in the Northern part of the First Ward
having missed several of his poultry recently,
kept sharp look out in the region of his
hennery the last few nights. Night before
last, having got up in the night casually, he
went to the window and took survey of the
premises, when 10 there stood the thief, in
the act of making another foray into the coop!
The gent was not long in levelling his. blum
derbuss and blazed away, as well as he could
see, for the night was very dark. Mr.. burg
lar did mt come down as he expected, howev-
err, and the upshot of the affair was that the
gent found he had riddled fine pair Of his
own pants, which had been hanging on a
clothes-line. So much for not looking twice
before shooting once.

all this season. and are extending their facilities

making preparations for heavy trade, and as
their large establishment has better opportunities
for wholesale business than other dealers who

Merchants should call on them for the purchase o.

they will saue considerable, and be better suited

were hideous 1t is said to be in revenge for

French AND SARDINIAN Loss AT THE BAT
TIE OF SoLFERINo.- BY the Weser it is sta
ted officially that the losses of the Sandman
army were unfortunately very considerable,
and do not amount to less than 40 officers
killed, and $50 wounded, 642 sub officers and
~privates killed, 3,4O9 wounded, and 1858
soldiers missing, making a total of 1925 alb
sent at roll call.
The loss of the French army amounte to
1000 rank and file, killed and wounled,
and 700 officers hors de combat, of whom
$50 were killed. Among the wounded are
Gems. de Ladmirault, Forey, Anger, Dieu,
and Douay. Seven Coils. and six Lieut..
Coils. nave been killed.
As to the losses of the Austrian army, they
cannot yet be calculated, but they must have
been very considerable, from the number of
killed and wounded which were left on the
field of battle, which extended not less than
- miles in length. They left in our hands
30 pieces of cannon, a great number OF am
munition wagons, four colors and 5000 pris-
oners.
A writer from Verona, under date OF June
20, says:
There are here some 400 or 500 Pied
montese and some French prisoners. What
the losses on this side may turn out to be it
is impossible as yet to state with precision.
They cannot be less than 10000 or $4,000
men, hors de combat.
No Generals were killed. Among the
wounded were Count Palfry, slightly, Gen.
Philipovigs, Gen. Baltin, and believe one or
two others. Several Colonies and numbers
of officers have been killed or wounded.
Prince G.. Windischgratz is dead, as we'll as

while the g%unner's crew were engaged in bat.

Wilson and William Nokes were killed, their
heads being blown off and their bodies being
thrown a considerable distance. Eight other
persons were severely wounded.
CoRoNER's INoUEsT.-We learn that a ne
gro, the property of Lewis Harrell, in the up
per part of this county, was murdered, a day
or two since, by Joseph Cowie. From thu
evidence produced in the case, it seems tina
I Cowie and the negro were in a canoe on thu
= Roanoke River, and some misunderstanding
E occurred which caused the negro to use harsh
language, and in an attempt to correct him
Cowie inflicted a blow on his head, with
j paddle, which knocked the negro out of tn,
1 boat and so stunned him as to cause him tt
, drown Immediately. Coroner James h. III
lison held an inquest over the body of the
: deceased, on Monday last, and the verdlc
n of the jury was in accordance with the abov
facts.-Dem. Banner.

DESTRUCTION OF AN AUSTRIAN STEAMBOAT
AND TWO HUNDRED MEN.-The following is an
extract from the letter of the D1iI4 Ness'
correspondent, dated June 21:
THE day before yesterday one ofthe Aus
tri an steamboats, which ran on the Lake of
Garda, had started from the opposite bank
with the object of accommodating Garihaldi's
forces at Sale. As after the action at Virle,
it was thought prudent to strengthen the
Cacciatori dele Alpi, a Piedmontese battery
was sent there with two battalion of Fanti's
division. They had just arrived when the
Francis Joseph steamboat was ordered to
steer to the Brescian side of the Garda. She
therefore steamed in that direction; but at
the moment she was entering the harbor of
Sale, the Piedmontese battery opened its fire
upon her. Our guns had been so we'll d;rec-
ted that two Of their round shot soon destroy
ed her elegant stern. OF course this was a
signal for a hasty retreat, but as she was a.
bout to turn her helm, a well directed gren-
ade fell Oh the middle Of her deck. Two Sc
conds afterwards a tremendous explosion was
heard; the grenade had made its way into the
magazine, and in less than FIVE minutes the
Francis Joseph was in flames. A distress
signal was hoisted, but before the Bsnedek
could be sent from Peschiera to help her
crew, she sank in the midst of the lake. Not
one of the two hundred men she had on board
was saved; all of them persisted, either burn.
to death by the flames, or drowned in the
waters of the classic Benacus."
DESTRUCTION By FIRE.-The tobacco facto
ry on the outskirts of Oxford, belonging tt
Messrs. Cooper, Kingsbury and Venable
which conducted business under the name
of Kingsbury & Co., was consumed by fir,
on Sunday night. It was evidently the worl
of an incendiary. No clue has yet been hat
as to the guilty wretch. The loss is estima
ted to amount to $12, 900 or SAC 600, abou
$4,000 of which is covered by insurance.

the future of our own work, by its history
so far. we have every reason, to be satisfied
and hopeful. The road is now clear of float
inc debt. and has deposite of over $50. 900
TO nav on the Bonded debt of $3.50, 900. So
that in fact, we owe less than $500, 900, of the
Bond debt at this day. We have paid the
State 6 per cent on her preferred stock, have
some means on hand, and the Road can most
certainly, unless some calamity befalls, from
this time forth begin to divide some amount
of profits among the Stockholders. No Road
in this country has ever done better at an earli-
