When he had received correct informa-

it would bo sent lmmediatcly. Something

fact that the dispatches of Mr. Raymond,

COLONEL GARDINER OF GEORGIA.-The
Baltimore american, speaking of the return
of prisoners at Fortress Monroe, thus ex-
plains the reference in the Geographic dis
patches to Col. Gardner, of Georgia:
The released soldiers are sent home under
circumstances highly creditable to them,
aud also evidenciDg the good faith of their
captors. During the heat of the battle the
federal forces had driven back Georgia
and some other Southern regiments, and
occupied the ground upon which the con-
test took place. Col. Gordner, of Georgia,
and others of his command, we're left behind
wounded, and in the lull of the battle they
were taken care of and brought off the field
by these United States soldiers.
The retreat of the United States forces
commenced soon after, and Colonel Gar
diner requested the men to remain and
continue their care of him and bis men,
pledging his word that they should alter
ward be released. He repeated his pledge to
the officer of Connecticut regiment, and
the men remained. They were soon after
captured and at first treated as pris-
oners of war, but the circumstances of
their capture were stated by Col. Gardiner,
and during their stay near the junction
they were allowed to render their aid in
taking care of the Federal wounded, and on
arriving at Richmond were billeted at diff
ferent hotels and allowed the liberty of the
city. Finally they were released uncondi-
tionally, no parole being required of them.

the strength of the government, and to fur
nish to the rebels the aid and comfort, the
hope, they are constantly and anxiously
looking fer from discussions among the peo-
ple of the loyal States.
1t is not proposed by this movement to
create third party, but it is hoped that a
PEOPLES UNION may be formed for the pur-
pose expressed in the call, which shall gather
such impetus and strength, by the day for
which the convention is called, as to induce
the present political parties to omit party
nominations.
1t is hoped, therefore, that all who favor
the movement will cooperate together
in effecting county and township organ
izations, and in electing delegates to the
convention. ~ ca. =. re-
, In the selection of delegates, we would
suggest that they be chosen, SO far as may

News FROM THE FoRT.--The Mankato
Record says one day last week private in
Capt Dickerson's company, named Conk.
lin, attempted to stab with large dirk
knife Lieutenant belonging to Captain
Keifer's German company. The Lieutenant
was quelling difficulty between some mem.
bcrs of his company, when Conklin inter-
fered. He was Immediately arrested by
other members of the company, but released
at the command of the Lieutenant. Conk-
lin then struck vicious blow at the Lieu.
tenant, which the latter lodged, knocking
his assailant down by striking him with the
back of sword. Conklin was subsequent
ly arrested, and charges being preferred
against him, he was committed to the guard
house for trial. The penalty for such an
offense is death, or such other punishment
as may be adjudged by court martial.

SMALL BUs1NEss.-We have noticed in
some of our State papers elaborate criti-
cisms on the conduct of Hon. Cyrus AID
rich in furnishing stimulant in the shape
of cold Bourbon" to our exhausted, wet.
hungry, and disheartened soldiers, on their
return from the battle field. These criticisms
savored too much of the cant of Mawworm
and Uriah Heep, rather than regard for the
soldier, to be worthy of reply, and we re-
greet the soldiers have felt called upon to
defend Mr.. Aldrich, in their letters publish
ed in the newspapers. Those who would
denounce the kindly meant act of Colonel
Aldrich, considering the circumstances,
generally belong to class of pseudo philan-
thropists, who regard the Maine liquor law
as the most perfect work of human wisdom,
and total abstinence as the ultima thule of
human perfection.

A SMART M1NNEsor1AN.-A few days
ago we published an account of the gift Of
$4,000 by Mr.. F. A. Harrison formerly of
Minnesota. A letter in the New York
Tribune puts little different face on the
transaction, and shows that Mr.. Harrison
learned thing or two while resident of this
State. The correspondent of the Tribune
says
A few days since we were gratifed and sur.
prsed to hear that gentleman from Min
nesota had come forward and made an unask.
ed loan of SAG, 900 to the Government; gratified
ed at such an exhibition of spontaneous patri-
otism, and surprised that any man who lived
in Minnesota should have $40, 900. That mys-
terry, however has been explained by the fact,
that he never took his funds to that labyrinth
of real estate speculatiOns, but kept them in
this city, where he formally resided. And it
further appears, that his money was in Mis-.
souri, currency, which, though at par here in
ordinary business transactions is at a discount
of eight per cent. below gold and New York
exchange. In q few days the amount will be
returned to him in gold, and he will realize by
the transaction the net sum of So $50 If the
story is true q have abstained from investiga.
ting it too closely, for fear of spelling t) there
is good deal of human nature to the square
acre even in Minnesota!

who have escaped from the South and

them having been put to it rather strong

Call for q State convention,

Whereas, The paramount need of the
country, at the present time, is the preserva.
ton of the Government in its complete In
tegrity; by means Of which alone, the prin>
ciples upon which it is founded can be per.
petuated and
Whereas, The public servants who have
the immediate care and responsibility for
its preservation, will be comparatively pow~
erless to secure it without the united sup.
port of the loyal masses +; and
Whereas, The revival of past party names
and dogmas, in the present condition of
public affairs, is calculated to distract and
divide the councils of the nation, by engen.
dering strife and discussions among the pa
trlotlc people OF all classes;
Therefore the Undersigned citizens of the
State of Minnesota, most respectfully In
vite the electors of the State, regardless of
past party differences, who are for MAIN
tanning the Union of all the States, at any
sacrifice and at every hazard and to that
end are resolved to sustain the Federal
Government in it's efforts to crush out and re.
move the last vestige of rebellion against its
authority, to unite in call for State Del.
egate Convention, to be held in the city of
st. Panl, on the 9th day OF September next
at twelve o'clock, NJ, to select suitable cam
didates for the Offices of Governor, Lieuten-
ant Governor, Secretary of State, State
Treasurer, and Attorney General, to be
voted for by the said electors at the ensuing
State Election in October next.
1t is hoped that those persons who have
been instrumental in calling purely party
Convention, as we'll as those who may have
contemplated such call for the future, will
feel disposed, in consideration of the premi-
ses, to reconsider their views upon the SUBJ
ject and cooperate in this movement.
The different counties to be represented
in said Convention as follows:

AN AWKWARD MIsrAKE.-A family of
Germans, eight in number, were on their
way to st. Paul, Minnesota, on Saturday
night, on the Cincinnati and Indianapolis
Railroad. Hearing the cry of St. Paul, IA
station about forty miles from Cincinnati, J
by the brakeman, the reutons quickly
jumped out Of the cars, concluding that they
were at their journeys end. Before they
discovered their mistake, the train had
started, and the disappointed emigrants
were doomed to fortyseight hours delay in
a place where they had neither money nor
friends. The citizens of that little village
took charge of them, however.
