took place on Monday morning and after
noon. The same night, according to the
above, the attack was renewed, with re-
suit entirely satisfactory to the Union side.
The troops from Camp Dick Robinson
had moved forward, and by this time the
advance column must be formidable.

The CAVALRY COMpANIEs.-1

The CAVALRY CoMpAN1Es.-It is
with great pleasure we announce that in
our statements in Sundays paper we la
bored under a mistakc-a very natural one
however-as to the number of cavalry
compaies accepted from this State Yes
terday, however, Lieut.. Gov. Donnelly
telegraphed to both the War Department
and to Governor Ramsey, and received
last night from the latter dispatt saying,
"AcceptAe third Company Of CauaIrg."
This puts the matter beyond question.
The second company, now on its way here,
under Captain B. f. Smith, Of Blue Earth
county, will make the second, while the
company now nearly full, in this city, un-
der Capt. Bracket, will make the third.
Let all who wish to enter the service
as cavalry, come up and join one or the
other of these companies. They afford un-
doubted]y the best opportunity that will
DO offered Of that kind in this State.-

Pittsburg's Welcome to the Min
nesota Second.

A correspondent Of the St. Paul Press,
gives an enthusiastic account of the re-
ception Of the Second Regiment by the
the people of the Iron City. Pittsburs is
second to no city in hospitality, and she
nobly extends the hand Of welcome to
our brave men passing through her city
caring for and feeding them. The fol-
lowing is an extract from the correspon-
denre refe-rer to:
We arrived at Pittsourg on Friday eve
ming at dark, when We were marched to
the City Hall, and to our utter astonish-
ment found the Hall, which Was a very
commodious building, splendidly lighted
with gas, filled up with tables grosning
under an ample supply of first rate pro-
visions for the whole regiment, the band
of the regiment consisting of about forty
six musicians, all told, was Accommodated
at cross tables on dais at the upper end
of the hall. After supper the band play
I'd several pieces, in first rate style, and
was cnvited to a serenade by the head
men Of the entertainment The band
turned out and were well received by some
of the most prominent citizens Of Pitts
burg. Judge Shannon made an elegant
Union war speech. The band serenaded
till two o'clock next morning. The whole
regiment, the band and the ladies were
well housed for the night by the Commit
tee of arrangements. In the morning we
were al marched back again to the City
Hall, where first rate breakfast awaited
them, to which we did full justice. Never
as long a, we live, can we forget the kind
ness and joy with which the I'd Minneso-
ia Regiment was received and entertained
on that occasion at Pittsburg.

SECOND REGIMENT IN KENTUCKY
We find the following in the Louisville
Journal, about the regiment:
''The Second Minncsotr is in command
of Col. Van Cleve, an old United States
officer, who served with considerable dis
tinction in the Mexican war, but at the
close Of that campaign resigned his Office,
and retired to the shades Of privacy-en-
gaging his abilities in peaceful pursuits
but who, on the cry of the rebels that they
would destroy this great and glorious gov

FremOnt's Proclamation.

The Honorables Cyrus Aldrich aud
VIM. Window have replied to the query
addressed to all the members of our Con-
gressionsl Delegation by the Plain View
Committee. Mr.. Aldrich agrees with both
Gen. Fremont and the President, thinks
Fremont's Proclamation "a mastery stroke
of policy" and that the Presidents "mod-
.iicatioa" shows ono hostility to the mea-
sure" the condition Of the
war in all parts Of the country shall justi-
fly or require it." Which means that
when Kentucky is agreed that Missouri
shah be rid of the rebellion in the only
way her commanding general and her 10y
al people think possible, then Col. Aldrich
will be agreed to have her SO delivered
Is not this it Colonel? Missouri Union
men must be compelled to guard the most
vital property interests of those who are
sacking their homes, numbering their
brethren and plundering their estates, un.
. til Kentucky patriots agree to their adop-
ting stringent measures Of defence. The
Col. does not say whether he would vote
for law to free the slaves of rebels, but
goes around the corner in the following
neatly-turncd sentence:
"While, therefore, I recognize the
power OF Gen. Fremont to issue the proc.
lamation, and believe it to have been 9
most etfectual means of crushing the
"slaveholder's rebellion" I also think il
injudicious for citizens disconnected with
the Executive branch Of the Government
to assume to decide questions of military
exigency, without full knowledge of the
facts bcaring upon it, and which are ia,
better known to the President and his off.

Come, Colonel, this is not like your old.

Rlce's ground in this diplomatic caution

Cosr OF law suit.-Some twelve years
ago.a gentleman named Hartley died, and
bequeathed, by his will, about 100000
to the corporation of Southampton, Eng
land, to be expended in measures to pro-
mote the intellectual improvement or the,
inhabitants of the town. The will was.
disputed by distant and dubious relations
of the testator, and litigation went on into
the court of chancery. It ended in COM
promise, allowing the claimants G22, 500.
leaving about ELS, 900 for the corporation.
From that sum the costs were deducted,
amounting tn nearly $4,000, aud legacy
duty amounting to about "a 500, SO all

Threats which this system of slavery has
produced and protecting the idle gentry
who cannot "cut their own 6rewood, or
black their own boots'' and who would
faint at the idea of sour wives and daugh-
tiers working in the kitchen" These
troops, IN going over there to protect their
aristocratic neighbQrs, leave their own
wives and daughters not only to work in
the kitchen but, in many cases, to get the
frewocd and tend the stock, but if this
could be considered an Inconvenience,
they :re far more than repaid by the fact
that these ''gallant Kentuckians" receive
them with the most engaging condescen-
sion and speak to them just as p easant-
ly as if they were not "mudsiils greasy me-
chanics and small listed farmers, unfit to
associate with gentleman's body servant"
The Cincinnati Gazette says:
Men, women and chi dren, alike, has
ten to show py every kind attention and
every friendly word, their delight, at the
presence of these timely defenders. In a
word, the troops are pets with them, and
they arc loud in their admiration alike of
their appearance, their drill and their Or
der and quiet.
Is not that engaging ? But it is pleasant
to know that if these mudsills should be-
gin to presume on the affability of their su-
pcriors thy will soon be brought to feel
their position as poor white folks. The
present emergency no doubt justi6es very
considerable urbanify towards towards the

the rebels who steal negroes just as fast
as any other property. Kentucky has al
ways patronized, while despisiug, her poor
white overseers and negro catchers, and of
course, now, that she has a twenty fold
need of their services, their star will be in
the ascendent, and their chance of getting
into good society will be sufficient to repay
thousand fold, thesmall trouble of lcav-
ing their own business ITO suffei, and
their plebian wives and daughters to feed
pigs, while they are doing and daring that
my Lady, in Kentucky, may not lose the
indispensable services of the waiting maid
who stands behind her chair to lift her
'kerchief when it drops, and that my Lord
retains his body servant to brush his hat
and his groom to hold his syrup. Bravo,
