Another General from Minnesota.

The President has appointed JOHN B.
SANBoRN Brigadier General of volun-
teers. We learn that Gen. GRANT repeat
eddy recommended Col. SANBoRN's ad-
vancement, and that his commission as
Brigadier General was sent on to Vicks-
burg shortly after his resignation as Colo
mel of the Minnesota Fourth, and was sent
back to Washington with the endorsement
that he had resigned his Colonelcy and
left the service; upon which the commits
sion was revoked by the President; but
upon representation of the circumstances
of the case, he was re-appointed.
Gen. SANBoRN was in command of a
brigade of GRANTS army for more than a
year, and some time of division, and
participated in some of the severest &C
tons fought in Mississippi With no pre-
JUDGES in his favor when he entered the
service, we have become convinced from
the testimony of those who have had OPP
portunities of observing his conduct in
the field, that he is one of the best volun-
teer officers in the service, and can rejoice
at his deserved promotion.
Minnesota has now two Major Generals
and three Brigadier Generals in the SER
vice, which we believe is a larger number
than any other State, in proportion to
population

The Case OF the Ruth.

Fl. G. RooD, Special Agent, reports to
q. S. Treasurer SPINNER, from the wreck
of the steamer Ruth: We have found
fragments and charred notes of all demo-
nations contained in the boxes, containing
$2,600,0Oo, Which goes far towards prov
ing that the notes had not been distracted
from the boxes to any great extent, if at
all. Evidence was taken by the commit
tee in regard to the shipment on board.
Guards were placed on board up tcethe
time of the fire and destruction of the boat,
proves that no part of the notes were taken
out. Box No. was the only one that
was opened, from which ten packages of
fves and one of tens was taken out, the
space filed with shavings, by the Assist
ant Treasurer at St. Louis No fragment
ment was found Of this partially filed case,
and it may all have been consumed

from the general expression of sentiment,
these qualities are properly appreciated by
the people. We entertain no doubt of his
election and it will be an election fully
justified by the intrinsic merits of the
man.
ISAAC V. D. HEARD, is nominated for
reelection as County Attorney. Mr..
HEARD is young lawyer, who has already
filled&he Office with great credit Indeed,
his rank at the bar, as a criminal lawyer,
is not second to that of any other in the
State. We are free to say that, political
considerations aside, his election would
subserve the ends of justice, in our county,
in the highest degree.
Mr.. FORD is nominated for Register OF
Deeds Mr.. PAssAvANT, the present Reg
lister, will be reelected.
The present Judge of Probate, Mr.. LAM
BERT, is nominated for reelection. The
Union candidate, Mr.. CRowELL, capable
lawyer, and competent and proper man,
will beat him, without doubt.

A soldier Murdered and Scalped by

Company A Formerly Capt. CApYs),
Eighth Regiment, with Second Sergeant
w. H. EDWARDS and another soldier
started from Paynesville, Stearns county.
to go to Richmond, in the same county.
and, while ascending small hill, about
three miles from Paynesville, three Indians
sprung up out of the grass by the road
side, and fired almostsat the same instant.
One shot took effect in the right breast of
Sergeant EDWARDS, and he fell from his
horse Capt. BUrTERFIELD rode up to him
and asked him if he was much hurt. Ed
WARDS answered: eyes, l am killed. ;"
Believing they could do nothing to save
EDWARDS, and observing that the Indians
were loading their guns for another voley,
Capt. BUTrERFIELD and the other soldier
put spurs to their horses, and left poor Ed
WARDS to his fate. And dreadful fate it
was; for when Capt. BUTTERFIELD, with a
party of soldiers, returned, they found that
EDWARDS had been scalped, perhaps while
still living, as he had deep cash in his
head. The body Of Mr.. EDWARDS was
brought to Anoka on Sunday. He for
merly lived at Champlin, opposite Anoka,
and leaves wife and four children.
Paynesville is about thirty five miles south
east of St. Cloud.

Meeting of Democratic National Com.
mittees in New York.

The National Committees, popularity
known as the douglas, ''Breckinridge'
and "Bell Everett committees of former
days, met at the St. Nicholas Hotel in
New York on Monday, the 18th instant
Nearly two hundred gentlemen were pres
ent, among whom were many of the we'll
known conservatives in the loyal States.
The meeting was strictly private. 1t was
known, however, that AUGUST BELMONT
was chosen chairman, and Hon. THOMAS
B. FLORENCE, of Pennsylvania, and DR..
CoTTMAN, of Louisan, were appointed sec
retaries
Over two hours were spent in the friend
ly discussion of propositions; one sug-
costing union between all persons Of
whatever name opposed to dbolitionism,
another fixing the day upon which the
Joint committees should meet and call a
National Convention. 1t was agreed on
all hands, to hold National Convention,
to which not only the Democratic party but
all who subscribed to the essential doc
trines of that party should be invited but
it was thought inadvisable to issue such a
call till after Congress had assembled.

The Union County and Legtslat,va
Ticket.

1t is to be said in favor of the County and
Legislative ticket, nominated Thursday.
by the Union Convention, that, as a whole
Its material is very respectable. We don't
call to mind single nominee who can,
properly, be stigmatized as vagabond.
And that, putting it in comparison with
any ticket that has been presented to this
people, for five years back, is, in itself, no
mean compliment.
The nomination of Col. ROBERTSON for
Sheriff, is particularly gratifying. We be-
lieve this accords with the general desire
OF the county. The Colonel has filled the
office with ability and with entire satisfac-
ton to all interests. He is a man of ca
pacities far beyond those usually found in
an officer of that grade, of thorough in
tegrity, large business experience and tai
ent, and of high tone in all things. 1t is
a credit to the county that gentleman of
his Parts will consent to serve the public
a. Sheriff. His election admits of no
question.
For Register of Deeds, Mr. PAssAvANT,
the present incumbent, is nominated. He
has made careful and excellent officer.
and will be re elected.
Mr.. c. 7. WHITNEY, an old resident.
and IN al respects reputable and response
bile, is nominated for Treasurer. If ROB-
ERT A. SMITH don't run against him, he
will be the next Treasurer; and, if elected,
he will make good officer
For County Attorney, HENRY J. HORN,
Esq, is the nominee. He is good law
yer, popular at the bar and with the peo-
pie. The only joke connected with his
nomination., is, that he was put on the
ticket as representative Of the Demo-
cratic clement
r. f. CEowELL, Esq, is the nominee
for Judge OF Probate. He is fully COM
petent, both in respect to legal ability and
moral character. His election would be
creditable to the county.
In the First Legislative District, CHARLES
D. GILFILLAN, Esq, is nominated for the
Senate, and Hon. EDMUND RICE, and Mr.
R. F. Frz, for the House In the Twenty
First District, JOHN N1coLs, Esq, is nomi-
mated for the Senate, and Captain A. R.
KEIFER for the House.
The Legislative nominees are not to be
cavilled against on the score OF character.
They are men of good abilities, and far
above the average cf Ramsey county leg
islative candidates. We forbear stating
such objections, on other grounds, as we
might be disposed to urge, as it is proba-
bic the ticket may not stand as composed
by the Convention. 1t will be time to
criticse it when it shall be finally COM
peted for public consideration AID action.

Expected Battle in Arkansas.

Gen. STEELE, at latest advices, was at
Brownsville, in Prairie county, Arkansas,
on the road to, and only twenty-seven
miles distant from, Little Rock. There the
rebels are reported in strong position
four miles out from Little Rock, and if
they did not "skedaddle,' battle has
probably been fought before this. We have
no fears of the result.

The Democratic Legislative and
County Ticket.

The proceedings of the Democratic
County and Legislative District Conven-
tions, held yesterday, will be found report
ed under the local head.
The nomination of Mr.. PEoKHAM, for
Senator in the First District, is very re-
spectacle one. This gentleman has abili-
ty to fill the position for which he is desig-
mated, with credit to himself and to the
city. We regret that we cannot advocate
his election. But, we are fully convinced
that the interests ofthe community would
be best subserved by the election of his
competitor. Mr.. RICE, by vir.ue of his
legislative experience, his abilities as a
lawyer, his connection with the important
railway enterprises, on the success of
which the future interests and rank
of St. Paul depends, seems to
be pointed out, in the mind of the
whole property holding portion of the
community, as the man above all others
best calculated to advance our interests !;
and we have no doubt this general senti-
ment will, as it ought to, secure his cleo
ton.
Mr.. JOHN B. BRIsBIN, the nominee for
Senator in the Twenty-frst District, is a
lawyer of many years residence here
well known as man of great brilliancy OF
intellect, and gross depravity Of charac-
ter. In the latter respect, he is as thor
oughly antipodal to Mr.. JOHN N1co1s, as
it is possible for any man to be. 1t would
be doubling the ,nerest sense OF common
decency in the community of that District,
to question the probability of Mr.. NICoLs's
election.
Messrs. STRoTnER and STANLEY are
nominated for Representatives in the First
District, and VIM. Won HAMM for Repre-
sentative in the Twenty-First District.
The nominee for Sheriff, Mr.. THoMp.
SON, we never heard of before, and know
nothing about.
The nominee for County Treasurer,
ROBERT A. SMITH, is the present very
competent, efficient and courteous incum.
bent. He has proved himself in all re.
spects capable and honest; and, Judging

The Reaction i'm North Carolina.

A letter recently received from loyal
list in Raleigh, North Carolina, says the
feeling in that State against the tyranny
of the Richmond oligarchy is intense.
Union peace meetings are frequent in the
eastern and southern counties, and Union
men, who have heretofore been silent, are
becoming bold and persistent in their de-
mands for peace.
1t is expected that Gov. VANoE's next
message to the State legislature will widen
the breach between the State and the
Richmond governments. Gov. VANoE's
friends say he will recall all the North
Carolina troops serving in the rebel army.
The position assumed by the Raleigh
Standard, in favor of peace, is said to
meet with general commentator.

M afne Election.

The Maine election took place on Mon.
day, and resulted, as far as returns have
been received, in the election of the Re-
publican Union ticket by increased major
tiles. Their candidate for Governor was
Mr.. SAMUEL CoNY, about whom very little
is known outside of the State, except that
he was formerly Democrat, and claims to
be a Democrat yet. BIoN BRADBURY was
the candidate of the war democrats and
copperheads, who came together this year
in one convention.

Reorganization OF Florida.

Mr.. L. J. Sr1oKNEY, Tax Commissioner
of Florida, arrived in Washington on
Tuesday. He comes for the purpose of
representing to tie President the desire of
the people of Florida that force should
be sent to that State, to relieve them from
rebel rule, of which, he says, they are
heartily tired, and that they may be ena-
bled to reorganize the State Government
and elect members of Congress. He says
that, if such force is sent Immediately,
their Senators and Representatives can be
elected in time to take their seats in Con-
gress at the commencement of the next
session.

sertels in the Provost Marshal's office,
