The Minnesota First-- The Kill
ed and Wounded--Its Gal
liant Conduct.

Intense anxiety prevails among the
friends of our soldiers to obtain the names
of chose killed and wounded. The follow
ing despatch was received by Governor
Ramsey yesterday afternoon:
WASHINGTON, July 23.-Captains
McKune and WyckoE, and Assistant Sur
geon LeBoutillier are killed. Ackcr,
Putnam and Adams wounded. DR.. Stew
art is with the wounded, and probably ia
ken prisoner. German and Dick (Gorman)
not hurt WILKINSON.
In addition to the above we learn that
John Judkins, Of Company Ii, and Ser
geant Macklin are wounded. It will prob.
ably be several days before full returns 0!
the killed, wounded, prisoners, and miss
ing can be made out and transmitted.
1t will give every Ninncsotian the
greatest satisfaction to learn that our boys
behaved gallantly. The dispatches Say
hey were "the praise of all. - They were
owed down like grass by the batteries
upon which they advanced. The Aag q
the Minnesota was completely riddled."
The "mowed down like grass is high
wrought figure of an excited reporter,
without doubt, although the casualties
must have been numerous, and will carry
sorrow into many homes in this State.

Near Alexandria, July II, 1861. -.
L. THOMAS, ADJ't GEN'L U. S. ARMY,
SIR II am profoundly grateful for the
intended honor of which I have just been
notified officially by your department.
My relations to this regiment, and to
the people of Minnesota are such however
as to constrain me to decline the position
of Captain in the 18th Regiment U. S.
Infantry, which hereby do, and ask that
you will communicate the same to the
President of the United States.
Your obedient servant,

acrop at the best. The weather, in the
beginning of the season, was very nnfa-
vorable to the young plants. The ne W
crop will not be fully in the market till
late in the fall. Wheat and corn have
done better. There is now plenty of both,
of good quality, but, unfortunately, there
is no bacon going down from Kentucky
and Ohio, and both whites and blacks,
particularly the latter, are already made
discontented bythe want of it.
The planters, without exception, are
deeply in debt. Very many Of them have
Eortgaged three successive crops in ad-
w.nce to the commission houses, who
charge most exorbitautly for the accomo-
dation afforded, and this was done to en-
able them to purchase negroes, no matter
at what cost. This kind Of property is
now utterly unsaleable, the market price
being about seventy-fvc per cent. discount
from former rates, and no buyers.
THE SLAVES.
We were surprised to learn from this
gentleman that the negroes throughout
the South understood the condition Of
things perfectly, Gas we'll as you do" said
our informant. They have seen the move
mcnt of large bodies Of troops, heard the
conversation Of their masters, and picked
up at the public meetings large amo unit
of information, which they communica-
ted to each other. They are nov wait
iog patiently their liberation, which shey
confidently expect to take place very soon.
They are very carefully watched by their
owners, and throughout the districts
where the slaves are most numerous,
nightly patrols are out, leaving no nook
or corner unexplorcd. 1t will, in corse-
oucncc, be impossible for the slave States
to reinforce the troops in Virginia; they
now require their strength at home to
keep down insurrection, and remonstrances
against any further call for troops by Da-
Wis have been already made from several
States. Their whole disposab!e force is
now in the feld.-Eveni"g Post

THEN AND Now.-Speaking of the ap-
pearance of our Regiment, at the time OF
their departure, Mrs. swisshelm says:
"Looking over them as they stood, we
were glad to notice the clean and com
fortably ly-clothed appearance Of the men,
To which the Press adds-"Mrs. S.

COUNSEL.

Seek not to walk by borrowed light,
But keep unto thine own;
Do what thou dost with all thy m might,
And trust thyself alone!
Work for some good, nor idly lie
Within the human hive,
And though the outward man should die
Keep thou the heart alive!
Strive not to Danish pain and doubt
In pleasures noisy din;
The peace thou seekest for, without,
Is only found within.
If Fortune disregard thy claim,
By worth her slight attest,
Nor blush and hang the head for shame
When thou hast done thy best.
What the experience teaches true,
Be vigilant to heed!
The wisdom that we suffer too
Is wiser than creed.
Disdain neglect, ignore despair,
On loves and friendships gone;
Plant thou thy feet as on a stair,
And mount right up and on

The Real Condition Of the South
INTERESTING STATEMENTS FROM
TRUSTWORTHY SOURCE.


A gentleman whose honorable name, for
various reasons affecting himself and many
friends in the Cult States, must be sup
pressed, has just arrived in this city, where
he is receiving medical treatment for a
malady, the result of sixteen years contin-
uous business in the South. During an
interesting interview with him yesterday
we learned some very curious facts in re-
gard to the present condition Of the affairs
Of the South. On his way North by a
somewhat circuitous route, which brought
him to Louisville, Kentucky, he passed
through three principal camps Of the reb-
els. The men were not in good condition,
were very badly armed, and most Of them
with Indifferent muskets or shot-gups.
They had received little or no pay, and
we're under no discipline. When he left
New Orleans every family that could set
away was leaving the place, for two rea-
sons, one that the people there expect an
attack from the United States forces, and
the other that the yellow fever is also ex-
pected, and of violent type, for the rea-
son that the, low country around and
above the mouths of the. Mississippi has
been flooded for months With more than
the usual quantity of water, and sickly
season is regarded as certain.
There are but about sixteen hundred
troops at New Orleans, and not far from
the same number at Mobile. Both these
places could be captured by our troops
Without difficulty, and if the present block
ade is to be forced by the English or
French, the true plan, in the opinion of
our informant, for us is to retake and hold
all these ports. There will be no block
ade to force or talk about, and no place Tor
foreign ships to enter, unless by our per-
mission and on the payment Of the regular
duties into the United States treasury.
Clothing for the Southern armies is be-
coming very scarce. Our informant says
that ia three months time the soldiers
will be in rags and shoeless. OF leather
there is none to be found. In the couu-
try towns the shoemaker is the most impor-
tant parsonage, and enormous prices are
beginning to be asked for his work. A
bit of sole leather is worth its weight in
silver. -. -.

there any good reason why one descrip-
tion of contraband should be allowed to
flourish in the disafected region more
than another?

Mr.. EDITOR One of the most seri'
Gus obstacles which the friends of education
have TO encounter in their noble eiivrts to
advance the interests of common schools,
Is the carelcssness aud indifference of pa
rents and guardians In regard to the at
iedance of their children at school. The
recent report OF the Secretary of the Board
affords abundant proof that this is An evil
Of very great magnitude. To remedy this
serious evil, a bill was introduced into the
Legislature " to secure the attendance OF
children at school, Ii is very similar in
character to law of Massachusetts. A
State that expends more than a million Of
dollars annually for the cause of education,
il would seem, might well be cited as re-
spectacle authority. | notice in the poice
among the Mountains of October 3lst, an
article signed M. B., in which the writer
taxes what ingenuity he has, (not more
than ordinary in holding up to ridicule and
contempt the bill introduced. He sneer-
ingy alludes to sdraggiug children off to
school," There is not the slightest insinu-
alton of any such process in the bill. He
indicates that the man who should attempt
to "drag off children" might come in con-
tact with "thick le.leather," that doubt
less would be very di-agreeable, much like
coming in contact with an article that orig
mated under thick /" skull. The writer
exhibits either profound ignorance of the
bill, or a great want of candor and fairness
in the representations he sends forth to the
public. This is not the first time that a
laudable effort TO promote an important and
worthy object, has been met by gibes and
sneers, Instead of decorous and sound ar.
