General Hooker.

We are permitted to publish the follow

iof this officer. We publish it, believing il

sions that are as erroneous az they are I'm
Just:
You may feel some interest in knowing
that,I spent last Sunday in Baltimore with
General Hooker. lie rejoices as earnestly
Ias any other person in the success of Gen:
Meade, but feels most deeply the injustice
dome himself: It is some evidence, think,
lot Hooker's fitness to command, that Meade
Book the army precisely as he left it, with
Fthe exception: Of reinforcemsnts, and found
it so, ready for action and victory: You
may ask: Why did not Hooker lead it to
action and victory The reason is si.rply
this-that reinforcements were withheld
from him which were given to Meade on the
very day that he assumed command. Ever
since the invasion began Hooker had been
pleading reinforcements. He had said to
Gen. Halleck and the War Department: Il
am able, with the force have, to whip Lee,
but not to capture his army. The country
will not be satisfied if Lee is permitted to
get back, and he may be as easily captured
as whipped. Give me Couch and the gar
rison at Hsrper's Ferry 10000 men, Hal
leck refused. Having command of the
troops at Harper's Ferry, Hooker then took
responsibility, and ordered the evacuation.
1Ialleck countermanded the order. Hooker
then telegraphed: 1 now demand REIN
forcements, or earnestly beg to be relieved
Of my commando He was relieved, and
the very messenger who brought ualleck's
order to Meade, brought the order giving
him the forces for which Hooker had wait
ed and begged in vain. Such is simple
statement of the facts. said to the Gen
eral: 1t is too bad that you should have
that splendid prize so near your hand and
not allowed to pluck it, He replied with
quivering lip:
1t is hard fortune.'
give you my word that the stories about
his drunkenness are utterly false. So far
from being drunk at Charlottesville, the
fact is that when he was made insensible by
the concussion Of a cannon shot against a
column upon which he was leaning, and
spirits were wanted 70: his use by the sur
geon, not drop could be found at bis quar-

Wives and Carpets.

The Chicago journal thus learncdly
philosophises on these themes.
In the selection Of a carpet, you should
always prefer one with small figures, for
the two webs Of which the fabric consists
arc alw ays more closely iu,erwoven than in
where large figures are wrought
There is a good deal Of true philosophy
in this that will apply to matters widely diff
ferent from the selections Of carpets. A
man commits sad mistake when he se-
lects wife that cuts too large swell on
the carpet Of life-in other words. makes
much display. The attractions fade, the
web Of life becomes worn out, weak. and all
the gay figures that seemed SO charming at
first, disappear like summer flowers in au
tumn. Many a man has made fimsy linsey
woolsey of himself by striving to weave too
large figure, and is worn out, used up, like
old carpets hanging on = fence, ere he has
lived out half his allotted days Of usefulness.
Many man wears out like = carpet that is
never swept, by the dust n indulgence
like that carpet he needs shaking or whip
ping he needs aetivity-something to think
of, something to do.
Look out, then, for large figures; and

This famous Chief we are pleased to
learn, has offered his services to the Gov
ernment to march against the Sioux, with
the request that he may join Hatch's Battal-
ion: Eersays Major Hatch is the right man
in the right place, and that If he succeeds in
raising and equipping his Battalion in tho
manner proposed the Sioux will be either
driven, or exterminated in three months

Hatch has been much among the Indians,

him, is anxious to go with him on his pro-

Capt: Bond, that Indians may be received,
and we trust the Chippewa Chiefs offer
will be accepted.
Having, during the last ten years, BEEN
on numerous war parties killing and captur-

Hail, Minnesota First!

The thunders of battle burst
Over the glorious.
Firm as the ocean rock,
Met ye the foeman;
Breaking the battle-shock
Like Spartan or Roman.
On every battle-plain
BY the famed river,
We count our noble slain!
Slain to deliver.
Our land from the tyrant heel
Now and forever.
Then, shall we cringe and kneel!
Never nay, Nerer'
Brothers, whose bloody breath
Come with rattle;
Brothers, who died the death
OF heroes in battle
We give you praise and tears,
Dauntless and glorious!
We give you sighs and cheers
For dying victorious!
We have fought by your side,
Shoulder to shoulder,
Where the fierce battle tide
Came bolder and bolder.
We know the part ye bore
Fighting and dying,
Where every helping corps
Was routed and flying
Sad are our hearts tonight
For our dear brothers -;
Sadder the bursting hearts
Of widows and mothers!
Weep not, ye stricken ones;
Their death is all glorious
Brothers and noble sons,
Dying 2act>tSuus.
