Health OF Senator Douglas.


The country awaits with painful anxiety
the result of the alarming illness of Senator
Douglas. We find nothing in the Chicago
papers, and the telegraph is silent as to his
condition, but letter from correspondent,
written on Sunday, leads us to believe that
he is better. We quote the following pas
sage: n ria a .sea tDea. NJ atsm
You will have heard of the serious illness Of
Judge Douglas. The most anxious sollcitude
exists here and throughout the country, as to
the termination of his sickness-infammato
rheumatism with typhoid fever. Many an
earnest prayer will go up to-day for his speedy
restoration to health. The fremont House
(where he is stopping with his family is con-
stantly thronged by his friends, who are evel
making inquiries as to any changes in his con-
dition. He is attended almost constantly by
four of the most skillful physicians in this city
Last evening he was very ill, but to-day biz
condition is somewhat better, and the hope j!
entertained that he may recover.

To the Editors ofhe Pioneer and Democrat:
ST.. CLOUD, May 20, 1861.
Before it was known that the First Reg
iment of volunteers was full, number of
our st. Cloud men enrolled their names to
serve as soon as they should be needed. The
number has been constantly increasing by
accessions from different portions of Stearns
county, and from the counties further
North. The company will represent a
large area of Northern Minnesota, and in
view of its being composed of men from
several counties, it will probably adopt the
name of Northern Minnesota Volunteers,
or the Upper Mississippi Volunteers. The
time for organization was fixed as far ahead
as next Wednesday, that full notice might
be given to all who had enrolled their names.
We hope to have a company full in few
days. 1t having been represented by q
recruiting officer from the First Regiment
that the Second Regiment was now full,
seven of our men have left to join com.
pany at Fort Smelling. We think it must
be mistake about the Second Regiment
being full.

Seizure of Steamers by Virginia.--
Secretary Stewards Letter Relative
Thereto.

Gov. LErcHER, OF Virginia, Immediately
upon the destruction OF the Norfolk Navy
Yard, and the blockade of the Chesapeake
seized the steamships Yorktown and James
town, of the New York and Virginia steam'
ship company. He offered, subsequently, to
pay the owners for the steamers, and they
applied to Secretary SEWARD for bis views
on the subject. He responded as follows:
WASHINGTON, May l6.
SIR Il have received your letter of yester-
days date, asking me to give you in writing
my reasons for considering an acceptance on
your part of Gov. Letchers proposition to pur.
town, recently seized by his orders and now in
his possession, an act of treason. An insur-
rection has broken out in several States of this
Union, including Virginia, designed to over.
throw the government of the United States.
The executive authorities of the State are
parties to that instruction, and so are public
enemies. Their action in Selling or buying
vessels to be employed in executing that de-
cisiOn, is not merely without authority of law,
but is treason. 1t is treason for any person to
give aid or comfort to public enemies. To sell
vessels to them, which it is their purpose to use
as ships of war, is to give them aid and com.
fort. To receive money from them in payment
for vessels which they have seized for their
purposes, would be to convert the unlawful
seizure into sale, and would subject the party
offending to the pains and penalties of treason,
and the government would not hesitate to
bring the offender to punishment.
[Signed,] WIN. H. SEWARD.
To G. HENN1KEN, Esq, N. Y. and Va. s. s. Co.,

FARTHER POINT, May 20.
The Canadian arrived off here this morn
ing. Advices two days later say the Amer
lean crisis continued the leading topic
everywhere.
Markets for American produce generally
continued excited. 1t was reported in Lon.
don that an American ship from Liverpool
en- route for New Orleans had been insured
at fifteen per cent.
The Chambers of Deputation had called
the attention of the French Government to
the necessity of taking measures for the
protection of French vessels in American
ports. The ministers of commerce and
marine promised to have conference with
the Emperor on the subject.
Tbs London Times points that America
has heretofore industriously INDICATED the
principles and precedents Of all which now
govern the action Of her own belligerent
rights. 1t says she upheld privateering and
demanded the right of search, and both
these are now turned against her.

Correspondence Of Pioneer and Democrat.
LANGOLA, (Platte River) Mimi,
May II, 1861.
Notwithstanding the wetand uncomfort-
able state of the weather, about one hun.
dred and fifty people assembled here this
afternoon to participate in flag raising.
A handsome flag staff had been previously
erected for the occasion. The flag was a
contribution from the ladies of the neigh
borhood, number of whom walked in the
procession, and assisted in the ceremony of
raising it. The young men were also out
with muskets, and went through the old
fashioned militia drill. Uncle George was
on hand, of course, with as much ardor as
the youngest. 1t being too rainy to have
speaking out of doors, the assembly, after
giving three cheers for the flag, repaired to
a hall near by and listened to short ad-
dresses from Messrs. E. o. Hamilton, @. G.
Andrews, w. s. Moore and T. 81. Barrett.
Great enthusiasm was manifested, and after
the speaking the company were entertained
by fine collation., also furnished by the
ladies. In fact think the ladies are en-.
titled to the principal credit for the occasion.
For patriotism and beauty they are not
surpassed. ~
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1861-05-24

If any conclusion can safely be drawn
from the character of the preparations by
the government, as disclosed by the cores
pondents of the leading papers, it is that a
powerful blow is soon to be struck at the
rebellion in Virginia, that will be felt
through the whole length and breadth of
this gigantic Instruction. The magnitude
of the preparations necessary to make it
efectual, is sufficient answer to the COM
plants of the military critics of the news
papers, thas the government was wasting
time in unnecessary delay.
Shreveport daily news., 1861-09-28
