NIisbehavlor Before the Enemy.

A general order just issued from head
quarters announces the dismissal from the
service of the United States of Second
Lieutenant Oliver Walton, of Company D,
lst Massachusetts Volunteers, on the charge
of misbehavior before the enemy. Colonel
Cowdin, of the same regiment, was Presi.
dent of the courtemartial, which was con-
vened by order of General Hooker. The
charge was cowardice and misbehavior be-
fore the enemy but the court martial neg
atived the charge of cowardice, but substi.
tuted the remainder. The fact of the case
is that on the 5th of May, at the battle of
Williamsburg, Lieutenant Walton left his
company, without permission, while the bat.
tie was raging and went to the rear, and
remained absent till the next morning. The
accused pleaded not guilty. Gen. McClel-
Ian, in confirming the finding of the court,
says:
The proceedings in this case are con-.
firmed. The Major General Commanding,
cannot, however, appreciate the negative Of
any part of the charge. The very witness
called by the prisoner, in his own defence,
testifies to his timidity and retreating under
fire. The sentence is too light. The pen.
pity for such conduct is Death."

The federal rams in the naval battle at
Memphis, were provided with companies Of
sharpshooters, who picked off the rebel gun>
ners, and thus kept their guns silent while
the ram was running into the vessel. The
rebel boats were also provided with sharp.
shooters, but they, like the rebel gunners,
did not succeed in hitting anybody. When
the ram, Queen of the West was running
into one of the rebel gunboats, company
of riAemen suddenly appeared on the bow
deck of the latter. The ram instantly open.

The camps are still ; all music is hushed
but that Of the cricket and the cieada. The
sentries' tread before my tent door solemnly
measures the passing moments. Death is
enjoying bic silent feast, and gloating over
the tempest of tomorrow. Its ghastly form
sometimes obtrudes itself upon the hours of
sleep, and the maBgled and the dying make
up the sombre shadows Of our dreams. O
Lord, how long!
The dawn of the Union will be told as
that of to day, by the crash OF shot and
shell, and the work of destruction will pro-.
ceed until Corinth and all its hosts are no
more, or until they yield to the power of a
just and beneficent government.
If we are defeated, we cannot escape. The
country here is waste. 1t is utterly ruin
ed, not vestige will remain after it is
trampled under foot by these mighty, con
flcting hosts. If no Minnesotian here ever
returns to his home, the State will not have
such occasion to mourn, as if the West her.

The Annual Financial Budget.

Senator Fessenden estimates that the an.
nual budget would be hereafter one hundred
and eighty millions of dollars, fifty millions
of which would be for permanent military
establishment of fifty thousand men. The
navy would require twenty-five millions a
year. An elaborate paper from military
source was published some time since show
ing that the expense of keeping up regi-
ment of infantry of the regular army in the
time of peace, was about half million of
dollars year. Considering the state of
things that must for years require mill
tary occupation Of the South, fifty millions
of dollars on army account is not an over
estimate. But twenty-five millions for the
future navy is altogether too low figure.
As the navy was before the war the appro-
priations were fifteen millions, more or less.
Mr.. Fessenden's estimate OF one hundred and
eighty millions year for COVE rnment ex-
penditures is not extravagant. Of this there
will be about fifty millions in the shape Of
interest on the public debt, should it not ex.
ceed one thousand million dollars.

MIR. Everett's Lecture.

We believe it is the unanimous opinion
of the audience that Mr.. EVERETT fully sus-
tained the very high reputation he has
achieved as an orator, and that the lecture
justifes the encomiums which have
been bestowed upon it in other cits
les. 1t commanded the undivided at.
tention of the audience, and many pas
sages were loudly applauded. The hall was
filled by intelligent and appreciative ladies
and gentelmen, some of whom came long
distance for the sole purpose Of hearing
the lecture.-Daily, 18th.

The Toronto Globe, under the head of
" Warlike Rumors," says that reports are
current in many quarters in the Provinces
that $4,000 more troops are to be sent
from Great Britain to Canada. The
Globe thinks that if this report be true, it
has some reference to the difficulties grow
ing out of the steamers Emile st. Pierre
and Bermuda, the former having been re.
captured from American officers by the
British crew, and the latter captured by
our blockading squadron while she was
running, as is claimed, from one British COL
ony to another, but having contraband
goods on board, intended for and consigned
to the rebels. The Globe thinks and hopes
that these difficulties can be settled in the
same manner as was the Mason and Slidell
difficulty, and depricates the sending of any
more troops to Canada.

Railroad to Lake Superior.
3. F. CRARY.

On the 4th inst, we published a Joint
Resolution introduced into the Senate by
MIR. RICE, authorising the State of Mime,
sofa to change the line of certain branch
railroads 10 said State, and for other pur-
poses. The original resolution was intro.
duced on the 18th of May, and was referred
to the Committee on Public Lands. On
the 18th of May it was reported back by
Mr.. RICE, with an amendment. It was
called up on the 4th of June and laid over,
and on the 9th of June Mr.. RICE called it
up again, and offered the Acknowledgement,
tute, which passed the Senate unanimously,
and is now before the House. No doubt
is entertained of its passage byithat body.
The Joint Resolution, as passed, is in5the
words following:
Whereas by an act of Congress approved
March third, eighteen hundred and fifty
seven, there was granted to the Territory of
Minnesota lands to aid in the construction
of a railroad from Saltwater, via st. Paul
and st. Anthony, to point between the
foot Of Big Stone lake and the mouth of
Sioux Wood river, with a branch. via st.
Cloud and Crow Wing, to the navigabIe
waters of the Red River of the North. the
northern terminus of which was fixed bv the
legislature of said Territory at st. Vincent:
and whereas it is DOW believed that the pub.
lie interests require change OF location of
part OF said branch road: Therefore
Resolved by the Senate and House of Rem.
resentatives of the United States of America
in Congress assembled, That the Legislature
of the State OF Minnesota is hereby authorized
70 vacate said oranch line at any point be.
tween st. Cloud and st. Vincent and relocate
the same. starting at any point between Still.
water and st. Vincent to the navigable waters
OF Lake Superior, and to locate and extend an
arm OF track of said branch road from Saint
Cloud to any point in the direction of the nav
lgabie waters OF the Red River of the North
that may be selected by the Legislature of
said State, and to select, in lieu of land here
tofore granted, an equal amount of land upon
the new lines when located in lieu of that the
said State would have been entitled to upon
the line hereby authorized to be vacated.
upon the same terms and condition as are pre-.
scrlbed in the act of March 3D. 1857, referred
to in the preamble of this resoluti n, and no
more Provided, That no part of said lands
snail be selected from any Indian reservation
or any reservation heretofore made for any
public purposes by the United States.
SEC. z. And be it further resolved, That the
sections and parts of sections of land, which
by such grant shall remain to the United
States, within six miles on each side of said
branch road and arm, shall not be sold for
less than double the minimum price of the
public land when sold; nor shall any of said
land become subject to private entry until the
same shall have been first offered at public
sale at the increased price.

The First Minnesota.

In the account of the battle of Fair
Oaks, published in the Cincinnati Commaer.
csal, it is said that g. Colonel Sulley's LIST
Minnesota, though delivering fire and re.
ceiviDg it from the time of entering battle
until the enemy were repuIsed, lost but two
men killed and two wounded. This happy
result is due to the skill of Colonel Sulley,
who took advantage of the crest of the hill
to cover his men," The Commercial also
says: The honors of the day were won
by Germans brigads and Kirby's battery.
1t was his fortune to bold the right of the
line. Had the fight opened on Sunday
Burns would have held the post of honor.
But Gormao sustained the position nobly.
His line constantly advancing and deliver.
ing fire, did not once waver. His official
report represents that his brigade made a
brilliant charge of Dayonets upon the ene-
my, who stood firmly to receive it until his
line was within ten or fifteen PAGES, when
they broke. Danas 7th Michigan and 10th
Massachusetts, on the left, won equal dis
tinctiOn. fs-
Among staff officers who were conspic.
uous in the fight, the following on General
Gorman's staff, deserve credit for admirable
conduct, viz: Capt. Hubbard, of Colum~
bus, Ohio, Assistant Adjutant General !;
Capt. Brown, Commissary Lieutenants
Raguet and B. L. Gorman, Captain E. L.
Sproat, volunteer Aide de Camp, and Bri-
gade Surgeon, D. w. Hand"

sAIN PAUL,


One of the remarkable features Of the
brilliant naval battle at Memphis is the fact
that not one of our gunboats received any
injury, although engaged with the rebel
gunboatsat distance of less than half 9
mile And it is an actual fact that the rebe
els fired at our gunboats at q distance of
scarcely forty rods, and failed to hit them |!
We bad heard of the rileman who at that
distance could not hit barn-door, but hith.
erto would have been willing to wage q
reasonable sum that even the most indiAer.
ent gunner could not fail to hit steamboat
at that distance. Thus unaccountably the
events Of war upset previously established
ideas.
