LETTER FROM MINNESOTA.

lsr -r June 10, iooz.
Mr.. EpIroR:-I was at one time a
constant reader Of your paper, but
since Iremoved TO far off Minnesota,
have not had the pleasure of reading
a single column in your Journal, nor
do know whether il is in existence or
not. / came here in the spring Of '61,
Just before the war commenced. |
came from Mason county, Va. Many
of our brave sons and some of my
friends and relatives, have fallen VIC
tins TO this wicked and unhOly rebel
lion. How many wives, mothers and
sisters mourn the loss of their hus.
bands, sons and brothers, is sad ques-
ton which is not easily answered. My
heart grows sick and faint and / totter
with CONSERVATION, when / think Of the
iuhuman butchery that is now being
perpetrated in our once happy country.
Notwithstanding our land and coun-
try is agitated with intestine war, and
the temple Of Liberty erected by the
blood Of our progenitors is rocked to
and fro by civil commotion, our young
and growing State, Minnesota, stands
the storm with unhinching bravery; and
we have great reason to rejoice and
feel thankful, that we are so far from
the seat of war. But our distance from
the seat Of war does not deter us from
sympathizing with those loyal places
that have sustained the ravages OF arms.
Our State has sent five full regiments Of
infantry, one cavalry regiment. and one
company OF sharp-shooters. The Min
nesota 1st distinguished itself in the
battles OF Bulls Run and Balls Bluff,
besides rendering important service
doing picket duty. and in various skir-
mishes. The Minnesota End was in
the battle of Mill Springs where Zolli-
Golfer played out, and made a gallant
charge at the point of the bayonet,
aided BY a regiment Of Buckeye boys,
thus turning the tide of battle in our
favor. The Minnesota 5th did excel
lent service at Corinth where sleep

tain the fact. Perhaps contribution

Mr.. HARpER:-Haying some spare

Two thousand of our brigade that went
out on scout on the End OF June, re-
turned on the 10th, having marched
over two hundred miles within IA days,
having two skirmishes with the rebels,
and routing them both times.
On the 18th we had an engagement
with the Pay-master. Every man was
able for duty. and stood up to the fight
manfully. The engagement lasted one
day, when the Pay-master retired with
the loss of a good many OF Uncle Sans
green-backs; no loss on our side. This
is the third engagement we have had
with the Pay-master, he being COM
PEELED TO retire in every battle. Green
backs are fourished by The soldiers at
present, while stuck up over the stores
and shops can be seen-green- backs
wanted--confederate shin-plasters at a
discount Of 4 per cent.
Scouting parties are constantly bring

ding through the country and shooting
