The ST.. PAUL PREss.-Just so soon as
we can make room in our advertising COL
umns, We intend publishing the Prospec-
tus of the St. Paul Press but in the mean
time would recommend it to all who want
a frst-rate, reliable newspaper. All our
citizens should take the Daily Press which
can be had at $6 per annum while the
Weekly can be obtained in clubs Of twen'
ty at 81 per copy. It is the duty Of every
man who wishes to see loyal paper at our
State Capitol to sustain the Press as it is
the only paper published there which is
truly and honorably anti-secesslon. The
Pioneer is as traitorous as it dare be, and
still make show to retain the government
advertising. The Journal is undisguised-
ly and openly secession, and that man il
half a traitor who aids to support it. Do
not neglect to subscribe for tho Press.

of boats and barges crossed the Cumber-

all their artillery and stores. Gen. Thom-
as took possession of the rebels boats, trans
ported his troops across the river, and is in
full Pursuit.

on the war, concluded to remain, hear him

Mr.. Fisk's Lecture.

The lecture delivered by Rev. Mr.. Fisk
Of St. Paul, At Anoka on the 10th, was
worth the ride Of fifty miles, mercury 2S0
below zero, to hear. He opened by paint
ing in colors painfully vivid the horizons
of this war, of brother tsking the life of
brother, of hundreds of thousands of men
of the same nation being armed to take
each others lives, Of the cost in money, in
Ithe destruction ofproperty public and pri-
vate, and the Withdrawing of so many thou
sands from the ranks Of the producing
classes. Then he showed that all this &C.
oumulated woe was brought upon us by
slavery. That slavery and slavery alone
is the sin for which God is judging us in
this war, and that for US to refrain from in
juringits only foe was suicide, that to at
firm our determination not to interfere with
slavery is defying God and vowing that we
will not repent and turn from our national
sin. 1t was powerful, conclusive utter
ance of the truth and was listened to with
breathlcss interest interrupted occasionally
by applause.
1t is the most hopeful sign Of the times
that 50 many Of our religious teachers are
fearlessly pointing out our national sin and
urging the people to repentance.

One OF OUR st. Cloud boys, in the
First Regiment writing from Camp Stone
to his friends here, under date Of Jan. 9Th
says:
Seen. Stone is under arrest. They be-
love him to be secesh, and 700 have
thought 40 for some time. He has been
holding correspondence with the rebels !;
and said they were men Of their word, and
were to be believed and trusted in all
things" This news has since been con-
6rmed by telegraphic dispatches. The
soldiers write that they have always
thought the defeat at Balls Bluff, was a
premeditated slaughter by Gen. Stone
When men feel thus towards their officers,
it is seldom without cause.
