The Old Sioux Treaty and Gov. Ramsey.
Advices just received from Washington
indicate that Gov. RANsEY's conduct and
transactions in the affair of the Old Sioux
Treaty, are about to be re-opeDed and re-
vived by Committee of the United States
Senate. 1t is alleged that there was q
large percentage reserved from the amount
due the Indians, which was never paid to
the Indians or their creditors. The ques-
ton, (which has lately been brought to Sem
ators, and which is not settled by the in.
vestigations heretofore bad, is, What has
become of this money! Did Governor
RAMSEY, who was then Superintendent of
this Department, or some one else, pocket
the money?

On the 18th instant, we attempted to
convince Governor RAMSEY that he was not
man to be relied on for truth and veracity.
We did this with the kindest motives in
the world; thinking, that when Cover
nor, who ought, from bis position, to stand
before the people as an exemplar of all
manly virtues, really found, and had it fairly
demonstrated before his eyes, that he was q
liar, he would consider it due to his posi-
ton, if not to his personal honor, to relieve
himself from the imputation, or to make q
manly apology for bis fault. But, it is clear
that Governor RAMSEY failed to comprehend
the point and import of our article. What
we brought, or intended to bring, directly
to bis apprehension, was
First, That, in 1859, while stumping the
State for Governor, he represented to the
people, as truth, that the public printing
done for the year 1858, amounted, in round
numbers, to $s8, 900; that the State Prin-
ter for that year. had, as the recipient of
that amount, swindled the State out OF

Report of the Sanitary Commission.

The report of the Sanitary Commission
is document of lO7 pages, and is both in
terestig and valuable, as presenting the dan.
gers to which our soldiers are most exposed,
and making valuable suggestions for the
preservation of their lives and health. We
compile some of its statistical results:
1t is ascertained satisfactorily that about
two-tLirds of the army are American born,
and nine-tenths are American citizens. The
average age of the army is triAe below Is
years. More than half the army are under

energy of Young America. In SO per cent
Of the regiments there was no inspect ion of
the recruits on enlistment, fact accounting
for much disease and physical weakness in
the army. The special attention of the
commission was given to camp sites, with
reference to health. Drainage, ventilation,
&C., receive their careful observation.
Ninety per cent of the tents are of good
canvas, the balance twiled cotton or drill
ling, or old and leaky; "a per cent have

gubernatorial candidate, uttered and re-.
peated to the people, very absurd and
monstrous lie.
Second, That, in Incorporating the same
statement substantially into bis late mes
sage by representing that the cost of the
public printing for 1861 amounted to only
one seventh part of that for 1858; and by
making this statement before the Legislative
Assembly in his capacity, and under his
oath, Of Governor be had added the guilt
of official, to that OF personal, lying.
These were the special points in our
article to which we called the Governor
attention. 1t is notifying to us to find
that the Governor did not apprehend these
points; for it is our particular pride that
we write plain and direct English, compre.
hensiole by any man of common understand.
ing. We are sure that the Governor failed
to appreciate that we brought forward the
official records for the purpose, and the sole
purpose,of proving the fact of bis lying, be.
yond possible question, because, liz bis reply
to our article through bis Official organ, he
fails entirely to discuss, or to attempt to
disprove. the fact of such lying.
1t is true that he treats Mr.. e. s. GooD.
RICH to great deal of personal abuse but
be don't refute the fact that ALEXANDER
RAMSEY, in 1857, on the stump, coined and
circulated an inexcusable, malicious lie con-
corning the public printing, for purposes
the most selfish and base. ...-
1t is true that he ridicules the personal
traits OF Mr.. GooDR1cH;s but he has nothing
to say about the moral, if not legal, perjury
of Governor RAMSEY, when he suggested
this same lie in his message to the Legisla.
tive Assembly, under the solemn sanction OF
his official oath.
Now, we want Governor RAMSEY to
take the PIONEER of the 18th instant, the
PIONEER of this morning, bis late message,
and the official records of the State, and to
lay them all out before him in bis Executive
Chamber, and to try and bring his mind to
bear on these points That, 10 stating,
personally, that the public printing for any
single year has amounted to $4,000, he
lied personally and that, in suggesting
in his message, that the public printing
of 1861 amounted to but a seventh part of
that of 1858, he lied upon his oath as Gov.
ernor, and thus lied officially. If he can
concentrate his mind on these points long
enough and steadily enough to see their
force and bearing, we have no doubt the
official records in bis keeping will convince
him, as they have everybody else, that he
has been guilty of very gross lying, person.
ally, as ALEXANDER RAMSEY, and officially,
as Governor of the State of Minnesota.
And, when he becomes thus convinced, let
him either deny the whole matter plumply
and saddle his soul with one lie more, or let
him frankly confess his guilty fault, as an
honest man and decent Governor ought,
and we will pray for such dissolution on his
behalf as is promised to the sincerely peni>
tent. But, in common courtesy, don't let
him offend our pride, again, by overlooking
the points which we have taken so much
pains to bring to his individual and execu.
tive apprehension.

Hon. e. M staunton Secretary of War.

The news OF the retirement of General
CAMERON from the Cabinet, and the appoint
ment in bis stead of Hon. E. NJ. STANTON,
Of the District of Columbia, as bis successor,
is confirmed by the dispatches which we
publish this morning.
We have nothing to say in reproach of
General CAMERoN's management of the bus.
mess of the War Department. But. we are
firm in the belief, that, if the public interests
required his withdrawal from the Cabinet,
no man in the whole Union could have been
selected with capacities so fully equal to the
place as those possessed by MIR. SrAUNroN.
He is man whose talents, energy, honesty
strength, endurance, are equal to any de-
mands that can be made upon them. He
was BUcHANAN's last Attorney General
having succeeded MIR. BLACK, when be was
transferred to the Secretaryship of State
it was bis sturdy honesty, bis true patriot
ism, and his tireless energy, that saved the
last administration from irredeemable infa-
my, and the Government itself from OVER
throw. He was the handspring, and half
the wheels, of the government machine, du
ring the last two months of BUcHANAN's
term.
The Government will conquer rebellion,
at.short hand, with STAUNToN in control, or
the Government will burst. His policy,
whatever it may be, will guide the Admin
istration. He is absolutely resistless in his
energy, and as absolutely uncopquerable in
his will and, with the army, thoroughly
prepared as it now is for active service, no
man could have been chosen who is better
fitted than be to make such service brilliant,
thorough, and effective.
Three facts are indicated by this appoint.
ment of Mr.. SrAUNToN First, That the war
is to be prosecuted with the utmost possible
vigor. Second, That it is to be prosecuted
according to the Presidential programme,
within the limits of the Constitution, and
that it is not to degenerate into a crusade
against the institution of slavery, or any
other institution of any State. Ihird, That
the President does not consider himself the
President of any political party, but as
President of the United States ard that
he. is not only ready but anxious to affiliate
with all patriots of whatever former politi>
crl creed. This act is the death.knell of
political parties, during the existence of this
civil war; and as such it becomes, also, a
trumpetrpeal of victory to our country and
our arms.

Much space in our paper this week

by those who had no personal knowledge of
the high qualities of the deceased.

Interesting Postal Decision.

The correspondence following between
CHARLES NICHOLS, Esq, Postmaster of this
city, and Assistant Postmaster General
KAssoN, shows that regulations have been
adopted which change the rate on letters
sent from this, or any other United States
Postof6ce,to the Sekirk Settlement. 1t has
been the custom heretofore to class letters
going to that Settlement as domestic let
tiers, and to charge for their transmission
the domestic letter rate, of three cents. It
will be seen that the rate in future will
be ten cents-the same as that upon
letters sent to the Canadian Provinces.
The correspondence follows:

often heard made against him, in that old
Sioux Treaty business, and which, at last,
seems to be again attracting the attention
of the Government; but, if he is guilty,
justice demands that the people of Minneso'
