Destruction of Another Southern Steamer
By Fire Boat and Cargo n Total Loss.


Tuesday s New Orleans Pieayune says:
We learn from the officers of the steamer
Col. 4. H. Judson, which arrived here this
morning, that the steamer Ashland, Captain
Dye, bound hither with cotton from Tensas
River, took fire and was burned to the
waters edge, the morning Of the 10th, about
one mile above Carters Point, on the Tensas.
The fire broke out about nine o'clock IN
the morning, and when first discovered the
whole Of the cargo on the larboard side was
in blaze. The FIRE subsequently spread
with great rapidity, and within the space Of
five minutes, the whole boat was one mass
of flame. The officers, crew and passengers,
however, were all saved, though the engin-
eer and portion Of the men were driven BY
the flames overheard, and compelled to swim
ashore. .
The Ashland had on board at the time
/, eco bales Of cotton, 653 sacks of cotton
seed and ffty-two hides the greater part Of
which is total loss The steamers books
and papers were also burned with the boat

desperate Attempt to Rscnpe from tn

desperate Attempt TO Escape from the
California Penitentiary-Three ConvIcts
Shot Dead and Seventeen Wounded.
A San Francisco correspondent writes in q
late letter:
Some thirty convicts in our State Prison
paid, last week, costly tribute to the liberty
that they adore afar off Seldom have con-
victs essayed to obtain their freedom under
more desperate discouragements. A water
cart was just passing outward through the
gate of the high wall that surrounds the
yard, when suddenly these thirty made q
desperate rush for the open gate. There
were three guards by the gate, aud Sheriff
Kinnard, of Sutter County, who had Just
lodged prisoner at the Office, stood near
them.
The convicts divided into four squads, and
each squad snatched freeman to use in the
fight as a shield from the shots of the
guards on the wall. The ringleader picked
up the Sheriff, and throwing him over his
shoulder, bore him as Digger bears pap
poose. The Sheriff, finding all his struggles
in vain, finally threw his own cloak over the
face of his sold man of the SCI" when he
was dropped like hot potato.
But soon coming upon another unused
guard, the convict shouldered him and was
making good time, when shot in the rear
stretched him dead upon the ground. The
officers OF the prison, meanwhile, had picked
up their arms, and we're giving chase to the
fugitives, whose numbers would have in
definitely increased, if trusty prisoner had
not slammed to the gate, and so prevented a
general delivery. The officers blazed away
as they ran, with very good effect.
Seven men, who had used between them
Deputy-W arden Penny as their cover, soon
fell, the deputy himself catching one ball on
his elbow, shattering the bones, and making
it probable that he will lose his arm. When
three of the prisoners had been killed, and
thirteen others wounded, all but one, who is
still missing, of the unharmed, wheeled
about, surrendered, and were marched bach
to quarters. Every fellow who engaged il
this race for liberty was a long-term man
and all were MeXicans

Minnesota and Pacific Railroad Com
panys

Official notice has been received here by
this Company, to the effect that 22,46O
acres of land within the six mile limits, and
286,392 acres of land within the fifteen
mile limits; making an aggregate of 30S,872
acres of land have been listed, certified and
set apart to this Company, on the 9th inst.
This last amount, together with the amount
previously certified and set apart to this
Company, makes an aggregate of 627 1862
acres of land.
AS soon as twenty miles of this important
road is in operation, the absolute title vests
in the Company to one hundred and twenty
sections of this land, which may be at once
put into market.
The proceeds from the sale Of such fine
lands as are included within the limits of
the land grant of this Company, will prove
ample to fully secure the bonds of the Com.
pany contemplated to be issued for con-
struction, and will place these securities
upon.a sound basis, which cannot but in
crease in value as the road is pushed ahead,
and opens the country for settlement, with
the ready means of shipping the crops at all
seasons of the year.
This Company have contracted for the
speedy construction of its lines with Messrs.
o. w. Barnes & Co., of Philadelphia, and
they require but action on the part of the
Legislature to remove obstacles, to put the
road in operation, and speedily put our
upper country in direct communication
with st. Anthony and st. Paul. W

We hear great deal, nowadays, about
the sacredness of party platforms. We
believe the Republican menbers of the
Legislature esteem the Chicago platform
revelation of more than human wisdom, in
its utterances on the negro question, but in
matters relating to the interests OF the white
people of Minnesota. they are not so regard
full of the pledges upon which they were
elected. We. have case in point. Will
the reader please compare, the following
resolution on the Railroad question, unani-
mously adopted by the Republican State
Convention which met in this city in
August last, with the declaration adopted
last week by the Republican members of
both branches of the Legislature:

RESOLUTIONS FROM TEXAS.
The Governor transmitted resolutions of the
State of Texas relating to coercion, They de
clare that the Federal Government has no pow
the States to the Federal authority, and that if
the attempt is made to coerce any of its sister
States of the South by force of arms into sub
lection to Federal rule, that Texas will make
common cause with them in resisting, by all
means and to the last extremity such uncon-
stitutonal violence and tyrannical usurpationiof
power.

adopted By tho Republican

The weekly pioneer and Democrat., 1861-02-22

In August, 1860, the Republicans in
State Convention, solemuly declared that
the "present Indebtedness" Il. e., the
State Railroad bonds) should be made
"subservient to the building of the roads" !"
In February, 1861, the Republican men,
bers Of the Legislature, elected upon this
platform, declare with equal earnestness, and
under the solemn sanction of their official
oaths, that "the construction of our land
grant Railroads. should not be made "in
any manner dependent upon an attempted
settlement of the State Railroad bonds, but
each question should be considered and de-
termined upon its own merits"
If the Republicans can so completely
ignore their State platform, to carry out a
Railroad policy, can they not with equal
propriety, let the Chicago platform "slide,"
instead of the Union?

national debt Of over $700,000,O00, with on
army Of 100000 men, aud n navy with $4,000
seamep. He predicted that the future of this
war would be bankrupt treasury and stalking
starvation, and a military despotism; that, in
six months from this time, the "northern lion
will arouse, and demand to know the reason Of
the acts Of this hour; that the objects Of this
war we're not TO maintain the Constitution, for
that had been violated and that, for one, he
entered his protest against this war. He asked
gentlemen, do they believe they can settle this
question with resort to arms without subju.
eating these States? He referred TO the "una.
nimity of the South and said this war was OF
subjugaton, while he was for peace.
This he wanted, because We can never &C.
complish our object by war. He held that
Horace Greeley welded a more powerful infu.
ence than any other man north Of Mason and
Dixons line. He held that the only disunion.
lists per Sc were the Republicans. He said that
the President had no right to blockade the
ports. He was satisfied that anything he could
say or do would not have tendency to check
the Administration but in obedience to his
own views, and to those whom he had the honor
to represent on this floor, who we're interested
in the preservation of the Constitution intact,
he was bound to speak against the action Of
the Administration. %.
Mr.. HOLMAN was not here to defend the
Administration, which was not Of his choice,
but when public liberties we're in danger, pa
triotism might well silence the clamors Of
party. He nevertheless favored the policy Of
the Government. During his remarks he refer.
red to Mr.. Vallandighsm, of Ohio, when
Mr.. r.VALLANDIGHAM replied that the only
difference between himself and the gentleman
was that he Mr.. Vallandigham) looked for this
settlement through peace while he Mr.. Hol.
mani looked for O settlement through war.
Mr.. HOLMAN, resuming, held that this war
war simply one Of public Indignation and wrath
against the comm ssion of unlawful acts. He
defended the Administration, and said there
can be no compromise at the defense Of the
Union. This war was for the Union and not
for the subjugation Of Gny States, or the supre.
macy of the North. 1t was oil for the Majesty
of the Constitution.
On motion, the committee rose and reported
the bill to the House, with instructions that the
committee was unable to come to any conclu-
sion thereon.
On motion of Mr.. BLAIR, of Missouri, the
House again resolved itself into Committee
of the Whole on the state Of the Union,-and

Mr.. VALLhNDIGHAM understood that
this bill proposed radical change in the army;
also, a large increase in the number of men.

finely. Marshal Lamon and Commissioner

uniforms. One man in uniform was there
whom it was worth long journey to see,
WINFIELD SCOTT, now commanding larger
army than any nation of Europe has in the
field, and more worthy to command them than
any living general. He was accompanied by
Adjutant General Cooper. Mr. Seward was
present. When General Scott retired, there
was great rush to see him by the many stran.
gers present. and as he stepped into his car.
riage, three cheers were heartily given for him,
which he gracefully acknowledged.
