Death of Col. Ellsworth.

The death of this young officer while haul
ing down secession flag in Alexandra,
created intense excitement at Washington,
and was the only casualty, so far as we have
learned, attending the occupation of Airing
ton Heights and Alexandria by the Union
forces.
Col. ELLSWORTH, we believe, was formerly
a bookkeeper in Chicago, and was an en-.
thusiast in military affairs. He attained
wide spread reputation as commander of
the Chicago Zouaves, the first organization
of the kind in this country. He afterwards
went to Springfield and studied law with
ABRAHAM LINCOLN, and upon the breaking
out of the war raised splendid regiment
of New York Firemen, and was chosen as
their commander.

The BlOckading Fleet.

There is not, as yet, any definite organi-
cation of the blockade fleet. Annexed,
however, are the names of the vessels, wih
ornaments ON board, which have been COM
missioned to guard the different posts. None
of the regular vessels ordered are inserted,
except those on active duty or almost ready
for their crews.
TO form an idea of the extent to which
this fleet increases the fighting material of
the service, it should be borne in mind that
we have never before had more than 40
ships, and 1000 sailors in commission in
the entire navy. There are several other
vessels said to be undergoing preparations
for conversion into gunboats, and many of
the transports employed by the Government
could, and doubtless will be, made available
for blockading purposes but the list given
includes every craft at present really en-
gagged:

The Texan RascaIity.

Our readers will find in another column
an interesting account of one of the most
Infamous outrages that have yet transpired
since the commencement of the Southern
rebellion, and one which we trust will be
amply avenged. Col. CARLOS A. WAITE
was sent out to supersede Gen. TwIGGs,
when the government was informed that
the latter meditated treason, but arrived
too late to be of service in thwarting the
designs Of the traitor. By stipula.
tion between TwIGGs and the Texan rebels,
the officers and soldiers were to be allowed
provisions and necessary arms for defence,
and unmolested passage to the coast, which
has been shamefully violated in many par.
ticulars, especially in the arrest of the Off
GERS at San Antonio, and their being com.
PEELED to sign parole not to engage in the
war.

No Occasion for Hurry.

The New York Evening Post deprecates
haste in our army movements, and thinks
delay is manilestly on our side. 1t says:
We, in the mean time, are weaker now than
We shall be ten days hence, and shall be less
formidable then than we shall be ten days af
terward. We grow stronger between sun and
sun our men are better drilled, better disci-
plined, better armed. Every mail brings the
news of thousands added to their number. We
have made the amplest arrangements for sup
plying them with arms OF the best quality and
the most deadly construction. Arms are man.
ufactured at home with all the speed of which
our workshops are capable; arms are arriving
from foreign countries in entire cargOeS.
The Post declares that Washington is now
beyond peril, and there is not another fort
that the rebels can now take. AS to the
captured posts, they can be retaken in our
own way and at our own leisure. Mean
time the blockade will destroy all Southern
commerce. The same paper also tells US
that the time for occupying Montgomery
New Orleans, Mobile and Charleston will
of course, be postponed until next winter,
when, if the blockade shall not have per-
formed its work, the great Army of the
West may move down the Mississippi and
break up the rebel Government. The Post,
therefore, counsels delay, believing that we
shall be decided gamers by such a policy,
and the rebels the losers. Per contra, the
New York Times has the following on the
inactivity Of the Administration
1t becomes absolutely necessary to ask, in
view of the above facts, whether We have
Government? whether the President and his
civil and military advisers comprehend the
real state of the crisis :? and whether they have
the nerve to back up the people of the free
States, who have in three weeks subscribed
s23, OOO, 600? or whether the great people are
ahead of the powers that are here, and will
have to rise in their might and speak with
thunder tones that this war must be prompt,
vigorous and aggressive, since all lamb-like
councils and paternal admonitiOns are, and
have been, thrown away, like "pearls before
swine"
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1861-05-31

The ground taken by the Governors of
some of the Border Slave States, that their
Commonwealth shall occupy position of
armed neutrality between the Federal Gov.
eminent and the Rebellious States, is not
only illogical and absurd, but it is Treason
in its most cowardly shape. In government
as in the church, be that is not for us is
against US. The man who talks of neutral
ity between parties whereof one is the
legitimately constituted authority of the
Nation, and the other an armed band of
rebels against that authority, avows himself
by that fact a sympathiser with the latter,
and wanting only the nerve to join hands
with them openly.
OF this cowardly, traitorous class, is
BER1AH MAGoFF1N, of Kentucky. Among
the telegraphic news will be found pro-
clamation from this craven secessionist,
forbidding "any movement upon Kentucky
soil, or occupation of any part, post, or
place therein, for any purpose whatever,
until authorized by invitation or permission
of the Legislative and Executive authori.
ties" by the army of the Federal Govern
ment.
Such pretensions as these on the part of
State Executive, should meet with but
one response from the President. The
national army should instantly make a
"movement upon Kentucky SOIL" and
occupy" that apart" on which the State
Capitol is built; erect scafold there, and
hang Governor BERIAH MAaoFFIN until he
"be dead, dead, dead" and there should
be permitted neither Minister of Justice nor
of God to pray for mercy on his SOUL"
In this way, State neutrality" and its
advocates, might be, and ought to be, for
ever silenced.

TINE is calculated all over the world BY

TINE is calculated all over the world by
the position of the sun. When the sun is
at meridian over a certain portion of the
earth, it is noon in that portion of the globe.
It follows that at the particular period al
luded to, it must be before and after noon
in other parts of the globe. If dispatch
can be instantaneously sent around the
world and return to its starting place, it
will actually, in calculation, have gained a
day, because it has travelled in that time
the same space that the sun seems to ira
verse in twenty -four hours, but which more
properly is the time occupied by revolu-
ton of the earth upon its axis.

Joe BrOwn...IIis Face.

We always knew JOE Brown would
make handsome picture. We told him
so, years ago; and appealed to him by all
the ties of long acquaintan ce, and a close
friendship, to sit for his presentment."
But be obstinately refused. He told us
that when he left off footing the fife, and
the army, he put away warlike things !;
and that the tube of the Daguerreo-
type machine reminded him uDpleasantly
of cannon, and ditto of grape and canister !;
and that for his part, he preferred to take
both in liquid form, internally, in the
shape of 4" Heidsick" and Bohea." And
though really strong man, and brave
one, yet the influence of association was so
powerful upon him, that he could never
bring himself to face the apparatus.
We don't know what necromancy WHIT
NEY practced upon him, but we have the
ocular evidence before US that he has been
"took." And WHITNEY never did better
thing; for we have j osEPH here just as he
is-with look as honest as a saint, as
knowing as prophet, and as cunning as
the devil. There is no installing him, or
his character, from this picture. A noble
old pioneer, with fine, frank, intelligent
face full, broad chest, covering great,
big heart; we are glad to have his portrait
to add to the list of those who have done
the State some service" as former Editors
of the PIONEER AND DEMoCRAT.

lam Down. Corporal TYLER of II

LAID Down. = Corporal Tyler of the
Massachusetts, 9th Regiment, was one Of
the wounded by the mob at Baltimore. In
describing his experience, he says, he saw a
man with three stones under his arm and
one in his hand, pelting away at the troops,
when he fired at him, and, to use Tyler's
own language" the man dropped the bricks
and la,d dowm.' There is a deal of Yankee
in this roundabout phrase.

Sailing Beef for Summer Use.

From the New England Farmer, whose

them from various sources. we copy the fol-
lowing modes. for the benefit of our readers
16 OTIS. Of salt, and OF. of saltpeter, for
each 100 ibs beef es
Rub the pieces all over with salt, and pack
it in edgewise, and after layer is completed,
take an ak or maui and pound down solid.
Then sprinkle on little saltpetre and fill up
all interstices with salt, and so on until the
cask is full Those who do hot like saltpetre
may omit it without injury to the meat.
+ Mr.. "A. Wanzer, who communicated this
recipe to the Albany Cultirator, says he has
salted his beef in this way for fifteen years,
that it needs no soaking before boiling, and
will he tender and sweet the year around
: BY this way of sailing it makes its own brine,
and never wants re-packing, nor the brine
scalding. If the brine should not cover it in
the spring, sufficient may be added for that
purpose. :,
Take barrel and turn it up over an old
nan or kettle and burn cobs or hard wood
for seven or eight days, keeping water on the
head Of the barrel to prevent its drying.
Make pickle as follows: .......-
or. Of saltpetre, 2 qts. of molasses, 2 gal
Ions of water, for each 100 lbs. of ham.

Boil these over gentle fire, and skim of
the scum as it rises. Pack hams with the
shank end downward, and when the pickle
is cool pour it over them or the beef. They
