A Contrast.

point Of the bayonette, Minnesota Fort.
were abandoned, and the troops all march,
ed off to Leavenworth under pretense of
putting down resistance to the laws. This
was just after the Indian Massacre at
Spirit Lake; and during the prevalence
Of the grasshopper famine. And our peo-
pie had all they could do to procure bread,
and no means to enter upon the defense Of
the frontier. We can all remember the
days and nigntsof anxiety, and the threat
ening attitude Of those hostile savages in
81, while our troops were overawing the
voters Of Kansas, to prevent the legal ex-
preston of their devotion to Freedom
Now Free Labor is in the ascendant, and
in the face Of one of the most formidable
rebcllions that ever threatened a nations
existence, the Administration at Washing
ton orders two full COMPARES of troops to
relieve the present garrisons Of our frontier
fortrcsses. In the great danger which
threatens our National Capital, the scat
tered homes Of our frontier settlers are the
object Of paternal care. Surely MIR. Lin
coin and Gen. Cameron deserve the affec-
Tomato regard of our people, and no doubt
we are in part indebted to our Congress
SIGNAL delegation for this care for our safety.
When Col. Miller was urging the men
here to volunteer for the defense of the
country, we said to him, sis it not better
they should stay and defend the frontier?'''
"That is the business Of the Govern
ment! It is ours to obey the Presidents
call,'' was his prompt reply; and the Gov
ernnent is attending to its business =.
Those men who refused to respond to
the Governors call throu! III fear Of having
their homes exposed, may now see how un-
worthy was their distrust of the chosen
guardians Of the nations honor and safety

burgh, one Of the mistaken brave men who
fought in Mexico-one Of nineteen who
came out Of charge made by one hundred

our first list Of volunteers, but he was the
second to volunteer, following Stephen
Miller. He, is we'll acquainted with mill
tary tactics and his company arc getting
along rapidly. The Seminary displayed a

Parsons has the Stars aud Stripes over his
office, and the loyal uptown democrats ran

be crazy with patriotic ardor. If Mime.
sofa sends another regiment, St. Cloud
will most probably furnish full company.
Men not actively engaged in farming can
very we'll be spared. The first feeling Of
dread as to possible Indian troubles is go
ing away as people reflect that even in this
emergency the Administration has left sui:
6cient garrison, at the Forts to preserve
the peace and ensure quiet. It is not as
when they were abandoned in the Kana.s
trouble. The force at Ridgely, Ripley
and Abercrombie is amply sufficient to en-
sure tranquility. Our people should show
their appre citation Of the care shown for
our safety In this time Of trial, by the au-
thorities at Washington; and every man
not raising food for the army can be spared
to join it if need be- 1t must not be said
to our children's children that st. Cloud
did nothing for the National defense. II
the time comes when it shall appear that
We can do more for our country by going
to the battle field than By staying here,
if. Cor instance, the yellow fever breaks
out amongst our Minnesota troops, and if
the sick and wounded suffer for want Of
care, we could not stay here, and feel that
some one else would have to look after the
home traitors if there are any then. Our
men now talk of attending to them
at once; but in cur sparse community it

The Baltimore Murders.

Baltimore was sudden attack of mob vi
olence but it was premeditated. A pub
lie meeting was called for the evening be-
fore, at which there was an immense
crowd, and the speakers used every effort
TO stir up the populacc to resist the pass
age Of troops. "Will you allow Northern
troops to pass through your city to slaueh-
ter your brethercn of the South p was the
question openly put, and the answer was a
"thunderiug, No, Never" A committee
vas appoin ed to carry out that resolution.
The press Of the city approved, and the
whole thing was thus publicly planned
The Pennsylvania Regiment, at the re-
quest Of the mayor, walked through the
city unarn,ed to avoid giving offense and
were loaded with all manner of insult the
rufians going so far as to take guilds Of TO-
bacco out Of their mouths and throw them
into the faces Of tho soldiers. The Massa-
chusetts regiment was attacked, eight SOL
diers killed and several wounded. Mayor
Brown and committee of Baltimo-
reans waited on the President and urged
him to send no more troops that way, and
to withdraw those at Cockeysville. There
were then $500 men there, aud 5000 on
the way. The President Welded
to the entrcat:es Of the Union men
Of Maryland, and, as matter of paci6ca-
ton sent all these troops back to Harris.
burg. No sooner were they gone than they
marched after them; tore up the railroad
and burned all the bridges until within
FIVE miles Of the Pennsylvania line. The
Government consented to sond its troops
ground by Annapolis to avoid giving Of.
tense to the loyal citizens of Maryland.
And Gov. Hicks writes the President ad-
vising him not to bring any more troops
through Maryland by any route; but to
ask England what We had better do. He
might rs we'll have asked Mr.. Lincoln to
pick up lis carpet bag and get out Of
Washington as quietly as he got into it,
lest he should disturb the patriots of that
part Of slavedom by the knowledge that
he was deserving the city. This advice was
read end considered and gravely answered
by Mr.. Seward, with the most polite as
suranccs Of good intentions on the part Of
the Government, and Maryland passes an
ordinance Of secession arms her citizens
and joins tho traitors.
But the Baltimore San says "Maryland
has no quarrel with the North aud will
not provoke one!'' Rich isn't it? Thus
double.died traitors and deliberate muir
derers, having injured the Government all
they can as protested friends, now throw
off their hypecritlcal cloak, and openly
join their deadly enemies and whimpcr
their innocence. Maryland. while claim
ing to be one Of the United States would
deny the common Government the right
to cross her territory. and claims to be the
injured party when she murders the troops
an their way TO defend the common Capitol.
Who does not feel that the Federal troops
should 20 through Baltimore or across

Rotations in Geometry, and, on tho spot
fell in love with at least four Of the new

The Seminary still labors under incon

non arrival of books purchased long ago.
These wants will soon be met, and the un

lightened thereby.
