Congressional,

On Monday, in the Senate, resolution
was offered that the Secretary Of War fur.
nish the Senate with copies Of all orders Of
the Executive to General McC lellan relative
to an advance Of the army Of the Potomac
on Richmond, and all the correspondence
between the said General McC ellan and the
Executive from the date of the order of the
22d of February to the advance on Manas~
sas, up to May LIST; also, a statement of the
numerical force Of the Army Of the Potomac
as shown in November, 1861. and in Janu-
ary, February, and March, 1862; also, the
number Of troops General Mcclellan took
from Fortress Monroe, the number at the
Fortress, and the reinforcements sent to him
up to June 1st, 1862.
To the House. of Representatives Mr..
Diven asked the House to excuse his col.
leagues, Messrs. Van Valkenburg and Pom.
eroy, and himself, from service for the re-
mainder of the session. They desired to
return to their respective districts, to use
their influence in raising troops for the SER
vice of the country. In taking leave of the
House, should the application be granted
for season, perhaps forever, be (Diven)
desired to say, if the constitution and the
Union are to be saved, it must be by the
strong military arm in the battle field.
The Senate and House on Tuesday voted
to adhere to their respective con6scation
bills, and a committee of conference was
appointed. The committee will probably
recommend the Senate bill, with the eman-
cipation clause of the House bill attached.
The tariff bill. after amendment, was passed
by the Senate. The conference committees
report on the Treasury note bill was con-
Cured in by the House. 1t is believed that
Congress will adjourn on Saturday or Mon
day next. 1t is great pity that it did not
adjourn months ago, but better late than
never.
By compromise between the Senate and
House on the Treasury note bill, bat $685.
100000 are to be issued in notes below SIS,
and $15,OOO,00O are to be reserved for the
payment of temporary deposits. This will
leave $l00, 100000 to be circulated-more
than enough for the good of the country
unless bank.rags shall be taxed out of ex-
istence, Of which there is now no prospect.

D0WN-RED RIVER TRALNs-MAIL ARRANGE
MENTS-MINERS' OUTFIT, SC.
ST. CLOUD, Mimi. July 5. 1862.
To tie Editor of the Pioneer and Democrat:
Our town and the surrounding country
yesterday celebrated the eighty-sixth ami.
versary of our national birth in the DID,
fashioned, and of course appropriate, manner.
We had the Declaration read in English
and German, and orations in the English
and German languages were delivered. The
grafton in German was delivered by DR.. q.
P. Fischer, and was eloquent and effective.
The GRAFTON in English was delivered by
VIM. j. Parsons, Esq, and was listened to
with attention and marked favor. Our Brass
Band furnished US with all the national airs
and many other pieces of great beauty. At
the close of the exercises, contribution for
the benefit of the Band was taken up, which
amounted to $3.50. The citizens spread a
collation. in the grove, which was partaken
of by about 600 persons.
The last lumber "drive of the season
(Morrison's) passed down yesterday. 1t
contains upwards of four million feet of
pine logs; and when these get down to st.
Anthony our navigation will be uninter-
rupted for the remainder of the summer.
Last evening one Of Burbank & Co.'S Red
river trains consisting of thirty-ive wagons
arrived, and is now loading at our levee with
goods for the Hudson Bay Company and
other parties in British Columbia.
We now have daily line of stages to
your city on both SIDES of the river, but not
a daily mail. Our people and the whole
Upper Mississippi country are completely
and thoroughly exasperated at the managers
and getters-up of the new mail arrangements,
which deprive US of what has now become q
necessity, the Daily Pioneer and Democrat.
Our crops, including corn, are all looking
superbly; and Notwithstanding Stearns
county has furnished three companies
volunteers, the area OF land in crop this
season exceeds that of last by about twenty
per cent.
There are quite number of business
houses and greater number of private
dwellings in process of erection here, and
our population is steadily and healthily in.
creasing, both "in the natural way" and by
immigration.
The "Prairie schooner" is craft fire..
quently seen among US, and the amount of
trade in the way of outfits for miners and
gold seekers at this point would astonish
you metropolitans.
The route from St. Paul to Georgetown
or Graham's Point and Fort Abercrombie
is undoubtedly the best to reach Salmon
river, and next season will be the favorite.
Yours truly, o.

PRESIDENT LINcoLN.-The special cores
pondent of the London Times, writing from
New York speaks as follows:
"There can be no doubt that the President
is the most popular man in the United States
Without education or marked ability, without
the personal advantage of fine presence or
courteous manners, and placed unexpectedly in
a position of unparalleled difficulty and danger,
he has so conducted himself amid the storm of
passion that RACES around him as to have won
the good opinion of everybody.
There is not a journal in the country that
speaks of him except with high respect there
is not a soldier in the field who does not love
and honor him and there is not man in pri-
vate lite, whatever may be his political opinions
or his views upon the origin, conduct, or pro-
gress of the war, who does not cheerfully admit
that Mr.. Lincoln has shown himself equal to
his work, and rescued the presidential office
from the contempt into which it was falling.
The explanation is found in his manly COM
mon sense and his unquestonable honesty
lncorrupt amid the corruption, persevering
amid the vaciation, and single minded amid
the false pretense and tortuous double dealing
of three-fourths of the public men with whom
he has been brought into contact, be has con-
ccntrated upon himself without seeking it an
amount of confidence that Washington himself
never enjoyed and of popularity that was only
heaped upon that patriots memory after death
had sanctified his claim to veneration.
Two other traits in Mr.. Lincoln's character
are his good nature and his pluck, equal TO that
of Lord Palmerston, in backing his friends, of
both of which his message to Congress exoner-
ating his Ministers, and especially Mr.. Simon
Cameron, from all blame for any error or ile-
galty of which they may have been guilty, and
assuming the whole responsibility of every one
of their acts, is a very remarkable proof.

Hear us for our debts, and get ready that

long trusted ; acknowledge your indebtedness,
AID dive into your pockets that you may
promptly fork over. II there be any among you,
one single patron, that don't owe us something,
then to him we say--step aside, consider your
self a gentleman.
Ii the rest wish to know why we dun them.
this is our answer: not that we care about our
selves but our creditors do. Would YOU rather
that we went to Jail and you 20 free, than pay
your debt and keep US moving? AS we agreed,
we have worked for y1u as we contracted, we
have furnished our papers to you but as you
don't pay, we dun YOU. Here are arrange
ments for job work, contracts for subscriptions,
promises for long credit, and duns for deferred
payment.

he don't pay the printer ?--if any, let him

poor, and him rich at our expense.

VERMONT AND THE DIRECT TAx...DIT.
TY ON SEAPE MANUFAOTURER

An amendment was made to the tax bill which
was very important to the agricultural states,
and therefore to Vermont. The direct land tax
was suspended for two years. This was diff
ficult question. 1t was important to retain the
direct tax, so as to make the lands of the rebels
pay the tax if the rebels themselves will not do
it, while on the other hand j, was alleged that
some of the new Western states are utterly un-
able to pay the tax. The navigation of the
Mississippi and trade having been interrupted,
corn and wheat cannot be expected from those
states without great cost, and these articles are
of little value. Corn has actually been used for
fuel, being cheaper than wood or coal This
direct tax being postponed, Vermont will de-
rive the benefit from it.. Compared with any
other New England State, her tax will be small,
because her manufactures are few. You can es-
innate the saving to Vermont by postponement
her share Of the direct tax was S2l ,56S per
annum-about half a million dollars saved to
Vermont. Another consequence will follow /:
the pay of her tax collectors will be small, very
inadequate think, because it is to be a percent
age on the amount collected. The Senate had
authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to in
creas, the pay when necessary, as | think it
would be in all states which are mainly agricu-
tural; but the Committee Of conference struck
it out. So much for the consolation of dis
appointed candidates Tor collectorships. BY the
way, it will be some days before the pamphlet
of tax acts can be printed. The new tax act
alone fills more than one hundred pages of me-
dium parchment--about two hundred of cap
size sheets
In response t. a call from Vermont, Mr..
Walton moved TO fix a duty of forty per cent.
ad valorem on "slates, roofing states, slate
pencils, slate chimney pieces, mantles, slabs for
tables, and all other manufactures of slate" in
stead of the 80 per cent. provided in the bill
Mr. +. a. Conkling of n. Y. moved to strike
out "roofing slate upon which no quorum
voted, and to prevent breaking up the commit
tee of the whole, this amendment was accepted
The amendment of Mr.. Walton was then
adopted: so the duty ON roofing states now
stands at 80 per cent, and on all other manu-.
factures at 40 per cent. The slate business in
Vermont is getting to be immense. She can
supply the world with slate pencils, and that is
an article so cheap that it will bear high duty.
Other manufactures of slate, such as mantle
pieces, table tops, &c. &C., as conducted in
Vermont, are really articles of fancy and luxu-
ry, and as such they come within the rule oil
high duties. Indeed the enameed slate work
of Vermont is more beautiful than the most
costly foreign marbles, ard is taking theil
place.-COr. WaltOn's Journal.
