The Sixth Regiment.

The work Of recruiting for the Sixth Re.
giment seems to have taken new impulse.
1t will be seen by the General Orders
published this morning, that commissions
as Second Lieutenants will be issued to the
recruiting officers Of the first ten organiza.
tions of men of fifteen or upwards. This
will iDcite to renewed activity. Under this
order commission will be issued to the per-
con selected, probably the recruiting officer
of the McOlellan Guards, now having over
thirty men; also to the company being
raised by Capt. WOODWARD in Houston
county; also to the Sigel Guards of Ram.
sey county; also to Captain BRoALEY's
company being raised in Washington coun~
ty; all three of the last named companies
having over the number required. There
are also several organizations which very
nearly reach the number fixed by the order,
and will probably in few days pass it.
There is also, we are glad to see, a renew.
ed feeling among the people.
In Washington county, always forward
in every patriotic work, the citizens have
by private contribution raised fund for
which $40 will be paid to each volunteer.
Last night large and enthusiastic war
meeting was held at Saltwater land tonight,
we understand, similar one will be held
at Taylor's Falls.
We are also informed that preparations
are on foot for great meeting in st. An.
thony or Minneapolis. Bounty funds will
no doubt be provided, either from public
or private source.
Why will not st. Paul stir in this mat.
ter? There should be meetings held, funds
subscribed /; and the City Council should
put its shoulder to the wheel.
These examples will be speedily followed
in the other prominent localities of the State
Hastings, Red Wing, Lake City, Waba-
shaw, Winona, Brownsville, st. Cloud, AM
Okla, Shakopee, Mankato, &c., should all
stir in the matter.
Those who will not, cannot, contribute
their personal services, should at least con.
tribute their funds towards the filling up of
the Regiment. In this way only can Min.
nesota be placed beyond the possibility off
draft.-Daily, July 10.

There seems to be very little difference of
opinion in regard to the duty of using ne
groes in the laborious work which always
attends military operations, but on the ques-
tion of arming them men of the best judg-
ments differ. Our own sentiments coincide
with the views of the Cincinnati Commercial,
which are thus expressed:
The question as to arming negroes should
be settled by the answer to this question:
Will the Government be stronger in the field
if it is done? If this is answered affirma-
lively, let the negroes be armed-ifnegative.
ly, refuse to permit them to bear arms.
Persons who are loud advocates of arming
negroes, generally declare that the rebels
cannot be conquered without their prescrip-
ton. 1t is their opinion doubtless that the
policy which they advocate will greatly
strengthen the Government. We know
gentlemen who are afflicted with an absos
lutte superstition on this point. But suppose
for every negro armed and put in the field
to fight under the National colors, there is
a white man so unintormed or misinformed
so ignorant of the motives or hostile to
the tendencies of the movement--as to be
overweight, and by the fact of armed
negroes, driven by some passion or preju.
dice, into the rebel ranks. 1t does not
seem to US that, if this should be the effect,
the operation would be one promising very
brilliant results on our part. We have no
suueamishness On the subject of armiDg
negroes, provided it should appear indispen-
sable-pro6table. The question is not one
OF sentiment, but of calculation. 1t is
question of forces-of profit and loss. Will
it pay2 Our own judgment is that it would
no'--certainly not outside of South Caro-
lima.

Bad Prospects Of Crops in Engla nd.

The latest reports of the condition OF
crops in England are extremely unfavora'
BILE, and has caused material rise in bread
stufs on both sides of the Atlantic. The
New York Eoening Post of last Saturday
contains condensed accounts from sixteen
of the greatest agricultural counties, which
show that the weather had been unseason-
ably cold, and almost continuous wet, and
serious apprehensions were everywhere en-
tertained respecting the wheat plant.

From the Plains.

A dispatch received in this city by the
family of ex.alderman Sylvester Sexton,
now en- route for California by the overland
route, reports that the rear of the train was
attacked by the Indians on the 28th of
June, and two men were killed. The 10.
cality and names are not appended, further
than to say that the Chicago party were all
safe.--Chicago Tribune, 18th.

Colonel Qate Senator) Fitch of Indiana
evidently belongs to the fighting persuasion.
He has had half dozen sharp battles in
Arkansas, and whipped the rebels every
time. How does it happen that every off.
Ger that is roundly abused by the Chicago
Tribune las Colonel Fitch was at Memphis,)
Turns out to be first rate officer?

As about one hundred, or perhaps even
more, have already enlisted for the Sixth

fourths of their quota it would ill the regi-
ment to the minimum.
