4 'aruc Contra band anccdOte.

\ person living on Eden prairie, anx-
ious to procure the service of contrabands
from respect to the cause, came to Fort
Smelling, aud took home with him Mrs
Cudge and her daughter Dinah.
All things went on smoothly for few
days, when Mrs. Cudge came to the con-
clusion that she and her daughter could do
better than to remain in the employ Of
their new friend Accordingly she packed
up her traps and tramped back to the Fort
with her hopeful daughter, Miss Dinah,
much to the establishment Of their Colon-
im. friends of the latter locality.
On inquiry into the cause Of her change
of base, old Mrs. Cudge, with much dig
nifty, declared she ''would have them to
know she was not going to stay up dar
and do all sorts of chores that she and
her daughter had returned to "hold Massa
LINKUM to he contract " The above i

United states Six Per Cent. Loan.

Messrs. THOMPSON e. BIO, AGENTS in
this city, have received subscriptions to
this popular loan amounting to over t,ro
hundred MOusond dollars, and as the time
for subscriptions will cease on the lst Of
July, we advise all who wish q safe and
profitable investment toa apply Immediately.
The bonds issued under this loan are called
. llve-twentieS, because while they are
frenfy year bonds, they may be redeemed
by the Government in gold at any time
after foe years. Many people suppose
that the interest is only 5-2O-1OO per cent
this is mistake, they pay six per cent
interest, in yoitl, three per cent. every six
six months, on the first day of May, and
November. The duties on imports of all
articles from abroad must be paid in gold,
and this is the way Secretary CHASE gets
his gold; it is now being paid into the
Treasury at the rate Of two hundred thou
sand dollars each day, which is twice as
much az he needs to pay the interest in
gold. No local taxes can be levied on
these bonds, and no Income tax, unless
the holder has sufficient amount to give
him an income Of over 5000. The bonds
are issued IN various sums, varying from
$50 to $4,000, thus aiiording an opportu-
nifty for all classes Of people to become in
terested in them. Messrs. THOMPSON &
Bro, will give the fullest and most salts
factory explanations to those who desire
to invest

Rurnside.S Order Revoked.

The belief we expressed yesterday that
the President would not allow BURNsIDE's
order for the Chicago Times, to stand for
moment after it was brought to his no.
tice, has been verified. The order has
been revoked by the President, and the
proprietors of the Times have been in
formed that they were at liberty to
continue its publication. We trust
this may be a warning hereafter to mill
tary commanders, that the President will
not allow the liberty of the press to be
stricken down, in defiance of the plainest
provisions of the constitution which he has
sworn to support. The law passed at the
last session of Congress, is ample i'll its pro-
visions for the punishment of the alleged
offences of the Times. In that law all
good citizens will acquieSce, but It's eXecu-
ton devolves upon the civil authorities,
and not upon military commanders.

locked up in the Court House, trembling
for the naaterin of the establishment.
The bloodthirsty and free speech and
free press suppressing radicals, are trem-
bling in their boots all over the city of
Chicago. Hastily, resolutions are pro-
posed, calling upon the President to Gre
scind" the order for the suppression of the
radicals, who procured the "suppression. :"

at the same time, we suppose, the great,
the leading copperheads, of Chicago,
hurrying into the thoroughfares of the
city to appease the people, by assuring
them that the Terrorists of Chicago, the
stockholders of the Tribune and of the
Republican party, had had meeting in

luton to the President.!
The turbulent emotions of the popular
heart, which had So suddenly become eX
cited, we may well believe, us suddenly
become calm, and then, the trembling
stockholders and pcrsonacl of the Irib"~e
al felt assured that that crisishad passed :;
for, none could reasonably doubt that the
President would as readily comply with
the resolution of the Republican stock
holders of Chicago, to rescind," as he
did with their previous resolution to ''sup-

Ehe Endjan Campaign.

Gen. SHELLEY and staff left Saturday for
Camp Pope, on the Upper Minnesota, to
take command OF the expedition against
the Indians. We learn that the expedi-
ton is complete in ali its appointments,
and may be expected to move very soon
after the arrival Of its commander Gen.
SIELEY has had full information OF the
movements OF the Indians and their nten-
tons, and his plans are fully matured for
their punishment
Col MILLER, of the Seventh Regiment,
has taken the place of Gen SHELLEY at De
partment Headquarters in this city, and
will have command Of all the detences of
the frontier during the campaign. We
feel assured that he will do all that lies in
his power, with the limited force at his dis
posal, to protect the settlers. The line of
defence is very long, and, with the best
disposition OF forces, full protection cannot
be afforded at every point.

Charleston Project Abandoned.

The project of taking Charleston, tor
which two years have been spent in pre-
parations, has undoubtedly been aban-
doned by the government for an indef-
mite period The report that a considerable
number of Hunters troops have gone to
New Orleans, is probably true. The New
York Times says "'here is no prospect
that anything will be attempted in the De-
partment of the South this season. Orders
have been sent there to give turlOughs to
five per cent. of the men, and these in
structions are to be carried out forthwith. "
Tn ose simpleton journalists who, after
the defeat of Our iron-clads in Charleston
harbor, insisted that the movement was
only Reconnaissance, and that "the
battle" was speedily t, come Oft, will
probably cease, for a while, from giving
transformation to their indulgent readers
about ''the coming attack on Charleston. -

Immense Product Of Grain in
Minnesota.

The La Crosse Democrat, of Monday,
says, "We begin to think that the grana-
ries of Minnesota will never give out.
There is no end to the amount, judging
from the heavy loads the Davidson
line of steamers are continually landing at
the depot of the La Crosse and Milwaukee
railroad. Where does it all come from !?
is the frequent inquiry of people. We
can hardly tell. 1t seems impossible that
there can be much more left. What will
this country be ten years hence at this
rate? Imagine the amount OF transpor-
tation that will be necessary to carry the
produce of the upper country'to market.
1t is hard to state what will be the amount
of shipments of small grains this season,
but it will he well into the millions"

We have the important intelligence of
the falling back of Gen. LEE from the line
of the Rappahannock, and of the Occupa-
ton of Fredericksburg by our forces; but,
strange to say, the telegraph don't even
venture to guess where LEE has gone, and
we can't venture to do it. a portion of
his force may have been sent to the relief
of Vicksburg, while the balance will de-
fend Richmond inside its Notifications or

The Chicago Canal Convention.

The Chicago Canal Convention which
had been in session several days, closed its
labors on Wednesday afternoon The pro
ceedngs were void Of general interest,
being made up, to Il great extent, OF bun
combe speeches upon all conceivable sub

ed during the session, and referred to a
Committee, which reported the following,
and they were adopted
The representatives Of the loyal States as
sembled in National Convention at Chicago, de-
srous of connecting closer union. of perpet-
uating our nationality forever, of providing for
the common defence and promoting the ocner-
al welfare of our whole country adopt the fol-
lowing rcSolusiOnS:
RcSoired That we regard the enlargement OF
canals between the Mississippi River and the
Atlantic, with canals duly connecting the Lakes
It's OF great military and commercial importance;
we believe such enlargement with dimensions
sufficient to pass SunbOats from the Mississippi
to Lake Michigan. and from the Atlantic to and
from the great lakes, will furnish the cheapest
and most expeditions means of protecting the
northern frontier, and ut the same time will
promote the rapid development and perlnl-
ncnt union of our whole country
ResoireG, That these works are demanded
alike by military prudence, political wisdom.
and the necessities of commerce.: such works
will not be only national but continental. and
their early accomplishment is required by every
principle OF sound political economy.
Resolced; That such national highway be-
tween the Mississippi and the Lakes, as far as
practlcable should be FREE, without tolls or
restrictions, and we should deprccatc the plac-
ing OF this great national thOrOughtare i'll the
lllnds OF any private corporation or State. The
work should be accomplished by national
credit, and as soon as the cost is reimbursed to
the national treasury, should be rs free rs the
lakes 10 the commerce of the world.
Our Saskatchewan representative, JAS.
". TAYLOR, Esq, on Wednesday made a
long speech Oh the marriage OF the iron
rail to the great water communication Of
Mediterranean of the Continents" the Pa
cilic Railroads the siege of Vicksburg;
Gen. Butler; New England; Union men
Of the South, etc He elucidated at
considerable length, his views on the
Pacific Railroad question, and on
the Canal question. Contenling that
while the former Was was :. proper
subject for national cognizancc, the lat
ter was Il prop subject for State cog
nizance only; that Illinois, with her great
wealth and resources should not stand like
a pitiful mendicant asking Connress to Go
what she should do for herself, and that
New York should not be here in support
of that contemplate effort.
