Irish Americans of Mimi esOta:

At the request of many of your fellow
countrymen, the Executive has kindly per.
mitted the citizens of Minnesota, who are
of Irish birth Or descent, to organize them
selves into distinct regiment, and has des
signated the Eighth Regiment for that pur.
pose.
The time has now come for action, and
while other classes of our fellow citizens are
rushing to defend their country, let it not be
said that we are behind them. Your coun-
trymen of other States, have gained for
themselves reputation for gallantry and
bravery second to none. Let US share with
them the dangers of the field and the duties
of a soldier, and prove ourselves equally
worthy the thanks and praise of our adopt
ed country. Let us prove ourselves not un-
grateful for the many favors which we have
received from this Government.
The undersigned has been appointed by
the Commander. in Chief to visit the differ.
ent populous counties in the State, for the
purpose of fastening the organization of
Irish-Americap Companies, to fill up the
Eighth Regiment, and thereby facilitate its
organization. Owing to the brief period
that intervenes between this and the 18th,
it will be impossible tomake other than hasty
visits, and be therefore takes this method of
requesting the active cooperation of all
Irish Americans in the different counties in
this matter.
Let companies be organized at once. By
volunteering before the 18th, persons will
receive the bounties offered by the Govern
ment and their respective counties, cities or
towns, and at the same time avoid the dis
grace OF draft whereas all those who are
drafted will receive but $11.OO per month
and no bounty.
All communications addressed to Shako-
pee will receive prompt attention.
Respectfully your fellow-citizen,
il. MCDONALD.
Papers throughout the State please copy.

A Card from Major Cullen.

TO the Editor Of thu Pioneer and n
DEAR Sir: Having SAINT jAhs folleNiag Com.
munication for publication to the Daily Press,
and the editor Of that paper having refused q
place for it in his columns, even al an sdver.
tisement, desire to have the same appear in
your paper. Yours respectfully, IA y
W. J. CULLEN.
st. Paul, August 8, 1862.
To the Editor of tie Saint Paul Daily Press:
DEAR SIR: Ever since my nomination for
Congress, I observe that you have been en-
deavoring, through your paper, to impress
the public with the belief that I am not
friendly to the prosecution Of the war for the
suppression Of the rebellion, and that Mr..
Donuelly is the only patriotic candidate for
Congress before the people of this District.
Now, Sir, so far as professions of devotion
to the country are concerned, I have only to
say that all who know me know that I am
and always have been, uncompromisingly in
favor of using the whole power and means Of
the country, for the thorough and complete
suppression of the rebellion. am for prose-.
cutting the war and suppressing the rebellion
for the sake of the country, and not, as is
feared is the case with your party and your
candidate, for the attainment of partisan
ends and purposes. Now, for the purpose
of testing the patriotism of the candidates
for Congress, propose to Mr.. Donnelly
that we both shoulder our muskets, and
enter the ranks as "privates " in the same
company; be sworn in, and march to the
defence of our country neither of us to
seek or accept any other position than that
of "private while in the service. Then
let the people choose between us for Con-
gress while thus fighting for our country,
and the one elected shall lay down the mus
ket, and take his seat in Congress at the
opening of the first session for which he may
be elected, but not before, unless the war is
sooner terminated, and the other to fight on
as private in the ranks. This is my chal-
lenge to Mr.. Donnelly. This was my propo-
sition to him at the Winslow House, alluded
to and falsely represented in your paper of
this morning. If Mr.. Donnelly does not &C,
cept this proposition, I hope to hear no more
of his superior patriotism and devotion to
the country.
Respectfully yours, w. j. CULLEN.

DIR. w. Carey, surgeon of the 4Sth
Ohio, made prisoner at the battle of Shiloh
and now post surgeon at Camp Chase, is
publishing in the Cincinnati Commercial,
some "reminiscences of his captivity. We
extract the following, which occurred at
Tuscaloosa:
A minister of the gospel was conducting the
services but few Sabbaths since, in militia.
nv camp near the city. He took occasion to
read to the troops Qor their consolation in
these times of want and starvation,) the ninth
chapter of st. Luke, in which is narrated the
miracle of Christ feeding the multitude, and
when he came to the 10th verse. which
reads as follows, "When he took the five
loaves and two fishes, and looked up to Hea.
ven. he blessed them and break and gave to
the disciples to sup before the multitude,
which was about 1000" And they did eat and
were all filed and there were taken up of
fragments that remained twelve baskets" AZ
ter he had thus concluded, stalwart and rus.
tic butternut clad individual screached out at
the top of his voice, saying, "Bully for Christ.
wish we had him for our COmmissary, in.
stead of old John Sheldon, the d-n stingy old
brute"

Now, it is reported that the President,
has definitely and finally refused to enrol
Africans into the ranks of the army, and
put arms into their hands, as soldiers and
numbers of our people can see nothing to
wage the war for, under such a decision,

We throw out the suggestion and query

"A gentleman, recently from Washing
ton, tells q characteristic anecdote of our
facetious Chief Magistrate. In response to
a very high recommendation for Brigadier
Generalship, Mr.. Lincoln replied that the
number of officers of this grade allowed by
Congress 1.-TWO hundred) was already full, be
could make no more appointments. What
we needed now was the rank and file. There
were enough generals. He was afraid our
army would soon be in a like predicament
with certain great Western herdsman,
who, in bis ambition to improve his stock,
had entirely overlooked the value of cows
and calves, and to bis dismay found he had
nothing left but bulls.

Those who voluntarily enlist before the
18th of August, get $25 of the 800 bounty
offered by the Government on being mus.
tered into service, and $l3 per month in
advance.
Those who are drafted or 60 as substi-
tutes will get only $ll per month, and no
bounty.
We hope extraordinary efforts will be
made to fill up the quota of Ramsey county
before the 18th by voluntary enlistments.
1t will be most credltable to our patriotism,
and have an excellent effect on other Sec
lions of the State.

Charleston Must Soon Fall!!
The Richmond Papers Systematically
announce the Reinforcement
OF Jackson. PA
TPKR rKIxsRAPH.l


FORTRESS Monroe, June %, $50 A. N.-The
Metamcra arrived nom city Point last night too
late to send a dispatch through.
The Richmond papers Of Saturday contain a
brief account Of bloody battle Tough, on Mon.
day last on James Island, near Charleston, y. G
between ave federal regiments and battery OF
PARROT guns, and parts Of four Confederate regi.
ments and battery. The battle lasted all day,
with 4 heavy loss on both sides. A
The Charleston Mercury feared the battle would
be renewed the NEXT day, and expressed appre.
hension for the safety Of the city, In conseq
Of tine great haustion Of th thern troops and
the loss Of many officers.
Generals Evans and Pembroke ccmplimen.ed
the troops for their bravery in standing under the
shells Of our gunboats and batteries.
The fght took place within four miles OF
Charleston, and from the tone Of an editorial in
the Mercury ! should think that the rebels had
been cut of from retreat from James Island by
our gunboats; and II this be 90, Charlss,, must
soon fall.
The Dispatch says that 10 can be no longer de-
MED that Jackson has been heavily reinforced
lately, and that the Federal columns must either
decline fght or fall back across the Potomac.
