Resolutions Of the Republican Mem
bers Of the i S.Senate.

The suhjoined manifesto has been
unanimously adopted by the RePub,
lican members of the United States
Senate, representing more than two
thirds of The Northern States, and
constituting large majority. The
Herald characterizes it as Zone oi
Ire most important State papers that
has appeared since the beginning of
the var: -s4t
First.-Tbe only course Of sustain
lido this Gov, rOnent, aud restoring
and preserving tie national existence,
and perpetuating tbs national integ,
rity, is by d vigorous aud successful
prosecution of the war-the Same
being a patriotic and Just VT 90
the part of this nation, produced py,
and rendered necessary to suppress,
a causeless and atrocious rebellion
SecOnd.-Tbe theory Of our gov
eminent, and the carly and uniform
practical construction thereof, Is
that the President should be aided
BY Cabinet Council agreeing with
him 10 political principles and general
policy, aud that all important public
measures and appointments. should
he the result oil their combined wis
dom and deliberations. This most
obviously necessary condition OF
things, without which DO administra-
ton can succeed, We and the public
believe does not exist, and thr refore
such selections and changes in its
me mbers should be made as will Sc
cure the country unity OF purpose and
action in all material and essential
respects, more especially iu the pres
ent crisis Of public affairs.
Third.-The Cabinet should be
exclusively composed Of statesmen
who are the cordial, resolute, unwh-
vering supporters Of the principles
ami purposes above stated.
Fourtb.-It is mwi5e aud nnsafe
to commit the direction, conduct or
execution Of any military operation
or separate general command or en-
ter rise in this war TO any enc who
is not cordial believer and sup
porter Of the same principles and
purposes first above stated. .,

Gloomy Editorials.

The latest Southern journals received
contain very gloomy editorials, most of
them on the Southern CONSUMPTION act
The Columbus (Ga.) Times has long
article showing that but 10000 men re-
main in the States in full rebel possession
who can be called upon under the whole
sale CONSUMPTION just ordered by Jeff.
Davis. 1t presents detailed statistics to
show this.
The North Carolina press complain Bit
terly Of the quota placed upon that State
being larger than that of any other State.
The Raleigh Progress is complained of
by the Petersburg Enpress for following
in the footsteps of the Raleigh Standard,
a journal very hostile to the Richmond
government. The Progress says that
Davis must have more troops or abandon
the cause.
- The Richmond Examiner calls for
court of inquiry in the case of Gen. Lee,
regarding the attack on Meade at Gettys-
burg, and also one for Pemberton, on the
surrender of Vicksburg.

A Massachusetts, man, who for the. last
three years has been resident of Rich
mond, furnishes some important facts rela-
tive to that city; among them the follow
ing: ..- I-. l..l ......
The defences about Richmond are vcryEgood,
the city being entirely surrounded with line
of earth-works, and in some portions they are
double lines; but they are not adequately MANN
ed; but very few guns are mounted. The
number of troops in the city does not exceed
sixteen thousand, which are entirely inadequate
for its defense against any reasonable force that
we might bring against it. At no time since
last summer has hescity been in a condition
to resist an attack from ten thousand men.
Although dhe proposition that ten thou
sand men could at any time since last
summer take city garrisoned by sixteen
thousand, behind every strong defences, I"
does not appear altogether selfevident,
yet there can be but little doubt that Rich
mond could and would have been taken
long ere this, but for the foolish obstinacy
Of the administration in refusing to let
anybody take Richmond by way of the
peninsula. That would be an acknowl-
edgment Of McCLELLAN's judgment and
SrANroN's folly, which a partizan admin
istration cannot afford to make.

A Traitorous Telegraphic Messenger.

From the Washington Republican, July %.
John Lancaster, youth about fifteen
years of age, was on Monday arrested by
Captain johnson upon the charge of open
ing and destroying important government
telegraphic dispatches. It appears that
this bow was for sometime employed as
messenger in the American Telegraph Of
fi,e. but of late has been employed in car
rying dispatches to and from the War De-
partment. Some complaint was made to
the War Department about dispatches not
reaching their proper destination. Capt.
Johnson was Immediately notified of the
fact. and to ferret out the cause. He kept
strict vigilance over the boy. and he dis
covered that he used to open the dispatch
es and read them, and, if there was any
information in them that would kelly be
valuable to the rebels, he would through
other sources transmit it South, and des-
troy the dispatches. When arrested other
evidence was obtained which clearly proved
the above statement. He has brother
attached to General Lees staff, while his
father holds an important position under
jeff Davis. He acknowledged that he
used to send information South through
the medium of his brother, who used to
run backwards and forwards. He was
sent to the Old Capitol.

ADJUrAc"r GENERALS OFFICE.
ST. fAUL, Minnesota, July 90, 1868.
The Governor and COMMUNICATIVE Chief of
the military forces of the State in behalf of
the people thereof, hereby tenders his heart
felt thanks to the officers and men of the First
Regiment of Minnesota Volunteers. for their
gallant conduct on the bloody but victorious
battlefield of Gettysburg Being the first con-
tribution of our young Commonwealth to the
Armies of the Nation, it devolved upon your
regiment, not merely to maintain, but actually
to create the military reputation of the State,
and to develOpe for the first time the unconl-
promising loyalty and fearless bravery of our
people. The trust reposed in you has been
nobly executed. You have set an example that
must kindle a lofty emulation in all other regi-
ments engaged in the great struggle to crush
this wicked rebellion. You, being now, as
we believe, the oldest volunteer regiment in
the service of the United States, and thus being
naturally entitled to stand at the head of the
great Volunteer Army of the Union we rejoice
that you have shown yourselves worthy to
hold that exalted position, and that, in the
browning act of your glorious career in the
battle of Gettysburg, you have performed deeds
worthy of the holy cause in which you are en-
gagged, and have shed an unfading ustre, not
only upon the arms of the State, but of the
whole Union.
With the most profound sorrow we mourn
the fearful loss that your regiment sustained on
that last bloody battlefield. More than two
thirds of your number killed and wounded is q
calamity terrible to yourselves. your friends,
and your country.
Had the cause been less sacred no results
could furnish a recompense in any degree COM
mensuratc with such a sacrifice: but sit is
sweet to die for ones country" and, in ex-
change for the lives of your dead comrades, we
have nation saved. Their graves will remain
forever green and will become the >hrines for
patriotism in all time to come.
To the wounded we tender our warmess
sympathies, trusting that they may soon he re-
stored to health, and saved to their country and
friends, and that they may be spared to live
among greatful people long years after the
flag that they have so bravely borne to victory
shall again wave in triumph and in peace over
a united people.

ing line from the Upper Mississippi to
Chicago, about fifty miles shorter than any
other. There was no decision, however, on
this point. 1


On Tuesday morning last, brace of
Sioux warriors stole pair Of horses from
MIR. BRANHAM, near Greenleaf, in Meeker
county. The scouts belonging to Captain
D. W. ALIENS Company, Cd, First Min
nesota Cavalry, were patroling the coun-
try between Pipe and Long Lake, when
they discovered the trail of the Indians,
leading off southwest of Kandiyohi Lake,
and about west of Glencoe, towards Yellow
Medicine.
The scouts gave the alarm to Capt. AL
LEN, who was at Pipe Lake, and Lieut..
VAN DoozEN at Long Lake. They both
started off in pursuit Of the enemy. After
a ride of thirty-five miles, which was about
twelve miles south, and about the same
distance west of Kandiyohi, they came on
Messrs. Indians, who had picketed the
horses out and were taking quiet nap.
Captain ALLEN and his men surrounded
them, when JOHN CLARK, of his company,
discharged his carbine into the side of one
of the Indians, as ticker, which had the
effect to awake them. The Indians then
sprang up, and having full armory, they
poured the shot thick and fast into Capt.
ALIENS men; killing valuable horse,
wounding W. CRANE and JAMES FARM
HAM, and wounded Capt. ALIENS grey
charger, one of the finest animals in the
service.
During all this time the Captain and
Lieut.. VAN DoozEN were firing into the
carcasses of the Indians, which seemed to
have no more effect than shooting into a
a maple log. At last they seized one
OF the Indians by the hair, threw
him on his knees, and beat his brains
out with carbine. The other knock
ed down the Captains boy, Oscar, with
musket; but Oscar had his revolv-
er pointed at the breast of the Indian at
the time he received" the blow, which went
off, and the Indian dropped too, protesting
he was a good Indian. The Indians show
ed great courage and great tenacity of
life. A bullet hole through the body, did
not make them wink. Capt. Allen, Lieut..
Van Dozen, and every man engaging in
the conflict, exhibited no fear at all. The
Indians had number of guns, besides
being bullet proof Lieut.. Col. Pfander
passed the trail the same day, bnt his
good Indian guide told him it was an old
trail. We could tell the Colonel some
thing about those good Indians, if he
would lend US his ear The scalps are
saved

The Providence Journal publishes two
interesting letters from its correspondent
on board the Montauk, dated the 18th
and 18th of July. In one of these letters
it is stated that on the 18th the rebels
were engaged in hanging cotton bales
along the southern face of Fort Sumter.
That fact confirms the belief that the fort
was found in the previous bombardment
to be weak, and that it suffered serious
damage. The wild firing of the enemy
showed that they did not know the posi-
ton of the batteries General Gilmore was
erecting at that time. d 1--F'
