HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE.-Tbe
Chicago Times pays the following compl-
ment to Governor Randall of Wisconsin /:
" We doubt whether any State has excelled
Wisconsin, if, indeed, any has equalled her,
in the manner in which she has prepared
her troops for the campaign. Her four
splendid regiments have two hundred extra
suits of clothes to each, including panta.
looms of this material and extra shoes each
has extra medicine chests, with men to care
for the sick, and men appointed to return
the bodies of the killed to the State for in>
terment, at the expense of the State and
each received their pay from the State be"
fore leaving its borders. Willing, in times
like these, to give credit to whom credit is
due, without regard to party differences, it
should be stated that this position for the
Wisconsin troops has come mainly of the
exertions Of Governor Randall, who has also
shown commenable liberality towards his
political opponents in the appointment of
officers, and who has now gone forward to
Washington to lock after the comfort of the
several regiments. We wish we could COM
pliment the Governors of all the loyal States
as justly as we can compliment the Wiscon-
sin Governor"

Another Seat In the Senate Should be
Vacated, and its Occupant Expelled.

The Senate of the United States vindi-
Gated not only its own dignity but the pop.
ular hatred of treason, when it vacated the
seats of the Senators from the rebellious
States by formal expulsion. 1t could take
another step in the same direction, to the
benefit of the loyal cause, and to the salts.
faction of the people.
There are drawer and manlier traitors
within the limits of the old Union than
JOHN G. BRECKENRIDGE; but it is to the
great credit of DAVIS, and TooMBs, and
STEPHENS, and SLIDELL, that none of them
are so despicable as he. They openly de-
fed the authority of the Government, and
took upon themselves the consequences of
treason /; he plots, and apologies for, rebel
lion, while holding official position under the
Government, receiving pay from its treas
ury, and bound by his oath to lis support.
While the expelled Senators were still in
their seats, BRECKENRIDGE was their conf.
Dental adviser and friend. His sympathies
were in all their disloyal movements, and
his vote gave effect, as far as possible, to all
their traitorous schemes. Since then he
has done his utmost, by corrupting the loyal
sentiment of Kentucky by striving, with
its Governor, to drag his noble State into
the meshes of the Southern Confederacy !;
by arr aigning, in the Senate, the President
for the high virtue of saving the Govern
ment, and covertly apologizing for the un-
natural crime of rebellion in these, and
other respects, he has exerted all the power
he could, with safety to his neck, to MAKE
the Revolution success, and Republican
Government failure. And, when the other
day the army of the Union encountered its
terrible reverse, this Senator of the Union
is reported to have visited the rebel prison.
ers, cheering them amid their misfortunes
by expressions of sympathy for their cause,
and assuring them of its ultimate triumph.
The Government, in all its departments,
has already gone too far in its liberation Of
traitors. There should be limit set to
permissible treason, and JOHN G. BREcK1N-
RIDGE should be put outside of it. Owing
all he is to the Union, and to the generous
confidence of its supporters, he should be
made to pay the penalty Of an migrate to
both. He ought to be expelled from his
seat; and it would excite no tears if his
colleague, POWELL, were sent into private
life with him.

The complaints Of the insufficient clothing

of the Executive in such shape as to de-

Col. JOHN B. SANBoRN, Adjutant Genera! of
Minnesota:
SIR-Yesterday committee of gentlemen of
Minneapolis called upon me and represented
that two letters from privates in the First Regi-
ment of Minnes sofa Volunteers, now in Virgil.
MIA, had been received at that place, complain
ing of the insufficient clothing of the men of
the regiment. This is the first intimation
have received, from either officers or men OF
the regiment, from its first organization to this
time, of any deficiency in this regard. Among
new troops, unframed to the careful preserva.
ton of the property, clothing and equipments.
amidst the necessarily rough life of the camp
and field, there will doubtless often be instan-
ces of suffering or Inconvenience, even though
the authorities have done all in their power
to have it otherwise. Yet it becomes Us, in
guarding the interest and comfort of the men
who SO generously volunteered their lives in
defence of their country, to relieve their neces.
sites, no matter how occasi0ned.
Therefore, for the purpose of certain infor-
nation on this subject, and to insure all the
relief within our capacity, and to enlist also
the interest of the General Government in those
gallant men, desire you to proceed at once
to the seat of war; and on consultation with
Col German and his officers, and examination
of the men, if there is found to be restitution
of any kind, you will make such representa-
tions in person to the War Department as shall
remedy all reasonable complaint and defcien-
cies. And if these representations shall not
secure prompt attention, you will at once com.
municate to me by telegraph the fact, when
will Immediately take measures to use what
ever of credit the State Of Minnesota may pos

BILE and efficient condition.
Very respectfully,

To the Editors OF the Pioneer and Democrat
The sick of the Minnesota Regiment now
in hospital here are

Private Arnold, of Saltwater, Company B.
They are all improving. They have been
provided with all things that could contrib.
ute to their comfort, and they receive from
the physicians, nurses and friends, the kind
est attention.
l would suggest to the good people Of
Minnesota that they should send few arti-
cles for the use of the sick, such as sheets,
pillow cases, shirts, flannel and linen or cot
ton, slippers, (cheap ones,) calico wrappers,
(uot lined) socks, (woolen or cotton,) few
pairs of pants and also coats for the use OF
such as may be discharged, palm leaf fans,
and any other articles for those that may be
brought to the hospital.
The sick when they leave camp leave all
behind, and when they reach the hospitals
they are without change of clothing. Such
was the condition of those from our State.
Not pillow had a covering, neither had
the hospital sheets enough to enable them
to change. Those here have all they re-
quire, and will want for nothing, but many
more may come. Any articles sent by ex.
press, charges prepaid, to-

The Great Confederate Collector.

ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS, the Vice Pres
ident of the colored Confederates, is, &C.
cording to the Philadelphia Enquirer, max
ing collecting tour of the Cotton States,
to raise means to support the rebellion. In
discharging his duties in this behalf, it is
his custom to get the planters together and
make them speech, and such one be
made at Augusta, Georgia, on the 18th of
this month.
Mr.. STEPHENS is quite frank with his
hearers generally, but sometimes speaks in
an authoritative tone, that smacks strongly
of the masters whip. He says that the
original estimate of the Secretary of the
Rebel Treasury was fifty millions, but that
they may want hundred millions, and if
the war continues they shall want more. If
it cannot be raised by contributions of cot
ton, it shall be raised otherwise. 81 tell
"you," he says, Z" that the Government dares
"not to be subjugated, and if the people do
not contribute, I tell you ve intend to haze
1.-The money, and taxation will be resorted
"to if nothing else will raise it," This is
plain and pointed talk.
Having been Intercepted on the proba-
BILE value Of the Confederate paper which
he intends to exchange for Confederate cot
ton, Mr.. STEPHENS delivers himself in this
wise:
II have been frequently asked if these
"bonds were good. Well, want to be
"equally frank upon that point. If we sue.
coed, if we establish our independence, If
"we are not overridden, if we are not SUBJ
"jugated, I feel no hesitancy in telling you
cit is the best Government stock in the
world that I know of. These pay eight
"per cent. semi.annually; therefore, if there
SIS short war, these bonds will very soon
command fifteen or twenty per cent. but
candor also compels me to state that if
LINCOLN overruns us-if we are subjugated,
"these bonds will not be worth single dime,
"and nothing else you have will be worth
"anything."
This, also, is plain talk, and the last words
of the passage, stating that, in the event of
the failure of the rebellion, "nothing else in
the Cotton States will be worth anything"
more than the bonds, discloses secret mo.
tive, on the part Of the conspirators, for ex-
acting this immense loan from the planters,
in addition to the mere want of money. 1t
is to get most of their available property,
their very means of support, SO linked in
and dependent upon the success of the con-
spiracy, that they will be compelled to sup
port it or lose their all.
