We acknowledge the receipt of Captain
JAMES L. F1sK's report to the War Depart
ment of the expedition which he COM
manded to escort emigrants from Fort
Abercrombie to Fort Benton and the Wal
la Walla The portion of the report over
the signature of Capt. Fisk makes only
two pages. The principal part of the
document is journal of the expedition,
kept by SAMUEL r. BOND, Esq, "journal-
ist," whose letters to the PIONEER en-
braced the substance of what is contained
in the Report. There is also short Re-
port from DR.. Odd, Surgeon of the Ex-
petition; and an itinerary of the route by
DAVID CHARLTON, the Engineer. The Re-
port is interesting and will be very valua-
bic to those who may desire to take the
route of the Expedition to the Pacific or
any intermediate point.

The First Minnesota Volunteers.

An exchange says: The First Mime
sofa Regiment, which disputes with the
Second New York State Militia, or Eighty
second Volunteers, as to the priority Of
the date of its being mustered into the
United States service, has made applica-
ton to the War Department to be sent
home for service in their State against In
dian riads upon its defenceless homes, not
many months ago so ruthlessly visited.
This regiment was in every battle at which
Mcclellan commanded; also at the first
Bull Run, Chantilly and Fredericksburg.
1t has given three brigadiers to the service
from its Colonelcy-viz: Dana, German
and Sully. Governor Ramsey, who is
now East, favors the application for the
regiment to be sent to its native State. 1t
has been in service since May, 1861, and,
though from constant service much reduc-
ed in effective strength, shows yet a cred
liable muster roll in rank and file.

New Indian Treaty.

The treaty recently concluded between
the Government and the Chippewa Indi-
ans at Washington, was signed on the 10Th
by Commissioner Dole and Indian Agent
Thompson on the part Of the United
States, and the Chiefs on the part of the
Chippewas. Hole-in-the-day, q principal
Chief of this tribe, has not made his APP
rearance, guilty conscience causing him
to hesitate about putting himself in the
power of the friends of the murdered citi-
zens of Minnesota. The action OF the
Chiefs who did not participate in the re-
cent outrages amounts to virtual declar-
alton of independence and reputation of
HOle-in-the-day.

OUR ARMY CORRESPONDENCE.
LETTER FROM THE THIRD
REGlMENT.

To the Editor Of the Pioneer:
Fort HEIMAN, Tenn, March Is.
The transports having on board the Sd
Minnesota, 95th Iowa and 111th Illinois,
after entering the Tennessee river, moved
on in advance of the gunboats and arrived
within two miles of this fort at two o.
clock yesterday morning. Owing TO very
high water, We were unable to effect
landing and waited till daybreak for the
gunboats to come up. We then, the Tus-
cumbia taking the lead, moved up two
miles above here to the Paris Landing, and
then disembarked.
at II O'Clock A. NJ, yesterday, the Third
Minnesota were ordered to march to Fort
lehman, leaving knapsacks and even blan-
kets behind. The route being circuitous,
we had seven miles to march, the weather
also being warm. On arriving here, we
found little else but ruins, the fort having
recently been abandoned and burned by
Federal officer. A few log huts and stable
sheds are unlnjured. But the chilnneys
still standing show that a good many build
ings have been destroyed. Our Third
boys barely found shelter The weather,
however, being mild no one suffered.
The Tenth Illinois bivouacked on higher
ground.
We were all somewhat disappointed in
not finding an enemy. We are to re-
main here till further orders from Gen.
Asboth, commanding the expedition, with
a company of the Sd regular cavalry
preceded the infantry hither, and then
returned with his staff, and a small es-
cort to the transports at Paris Landing
The steamers remained there till this
morning, our officers and men in the
meantime waiting as patiently as possible
for them to bring up the rations and
blankets.
Gen. Asboth proceeded on up the river
this forenoon with the gunboat fleet and
the 35th Iowa.

The New Judge of the Supreme
Court.
EDMUND RICE.

The President has named and the Sen
ate confirmed, Stephen J. Field, now Chief
Justice of California, as the tenth Judge
of the Supreme Court of the United States,
which office was created by the last Con-
gress. He is brother of David Dudley
Field of New York City. He is fine
general scholar as we'll as thorough law
yer. The New York Erening Post says,
in early life he enjoyed great advantages
both of study and travel. When boy he
spent three years in the East, at Athens
and Smyrna, until he learned to speak
modern Greek like a native. He was
graduated at Williams College, in 1887,
with the highest honors Of his class. At
ter passing ten years in this city, in 1913
he went abroad, and passed year and q
half in Europe. Returning in the fall of
1S49, just at the moment when there was
a large emigration to California he remov-
ed to that State. He was member of the
first Legislature, and introduced and had
passed the several laws concerning the ju-
dietary and regulating the procedure, civil
and criminal.
In 1857 he was elected Judge of the Su-
preme Court of California for six years
from January l., 1868. For several years
past he has been the Chief Justice of the
State.

Interesting to County Auditors.

The following letter from the Acting
Commissioner of Internal Revenue to Hon.
CHAs. MCILRATH, Auditor of State, modi-
flying the former decision of that Depart
ment in regard to sales of property for
State taxes, is of special interest to Coun-
ty Auditors
TREAS DEPT, OFFICE INTERIOR REvENUE,l
WASHINGTON, March 8, 1868. {
SIR: Mr.. Boutwell,, the late Commissioner,
has considered the communication made to you
by Mr.. Cole, Attorney General for the State of
Minnesota under date of Feb. goth, 1868, and
transmitted to this Office under cover of yonr
letter of the Dist ultimo.
The letter of the late Commissioner in which
it was held that the County Auditors are liable
to duty of one-tenth of one per cent on the
gross amount of sales of lands of delinquent
taxpayers, and that certificates of such sales,
or deeds Of conveyance, are liable to stamp
duty, was written in the belief that County Au-
ditors were acting, in such transactions, as
county officers, and not as officers of the State
1t is believed that as County officers, they
are subject to the opinion then given, but as
State officers, sales made at auction, for and on
account of the State, would be exempt from
the auctioneer's tax, and the conveyances
would also be exempt from stamp duty.
The decisions of the office have been uni
formly to the effect that it was not the inten-
ton of Congress to levy tax upon the prop
erty or business of the States.
The fourth section of the act passed 25th De-
cember, 1862, is construed to exempt from
duty only those official instruments, documents
and papers issued or used by the officers of the
United States Government, the duties on which
if paid, would be a charge upon the treasury OF
the United States.
This decision will apply also to official in
struments, documents and papers issued or used
by the officers of a State.
Very Respectfully,
C. K. ESTEE, Acting Commissioner.
To Hon. CHAs. McLLRArH, Auditor of State
of Minnesota, st. Paul.

Sensible, Patriotic Doctrine.

We have received from Maj MURPHY, of
Shakopee, a copy of letter written by
EDMUND RICE, Esq, upon the condition of
public affairs, and the duty of Democrats
in relation thereto. The letter was pri-
vate one, and Maj. MURPHY, in transmit
ting it, requested that Mr.. R1cE's consent
should be obtained for its publication. We
have not been able to see Mr.. r. since its
receipt; but as the letter contains sound
doctrine, is thoroughly patriotic in its tone,
and as its publication can do the writer no
possible discredit, but may work public
good, we do not hesitate in taking the lib
erty of laying it before our readers on our
own responsibility. We commend it to
general perusal, and especially to the care
full consideration of members of the Demo-
cratic party.

War Vessels Building In England.

The Boston Post has information from
its London Correspondent that five large
steamers are in course of construction in
the shipyards of the Clyde and the Thames,
which, if they do not come into the hands
of our Government by purchase, will go
into those of the rebels. One of the lar.
gest, building by Thompson & Go. on the
Clyde) is to be wholly encased in malleable
steel. She is to have two prows, one
within the other, with an alright COM
partment of fifteen feet between them.
She is of peculiar model, designed to be
used as ram, and to present an invulnera-
BILE surface to shot, and will have a speed
of sixteen knots an hour. The agents of
the owners of this and the other vessels,
having become disguised with the rebels
by visit to the South, the steamers are
offered for sale to our Government, but if
refused they will be sold to the rebels.

Col. Thomas w. IHigginsOn.

The reported capture of a negro expedi-
ton into Georgia and Florida, and of its
commander, Col. HIGGINLoN, will not oc-
casion much regret among those who are
acquainted with the character and antece-
dents of that officer Col. HIGGINsoN was
a Unitarian minister of Massachusetts,, and
until the breaking out of the war, was al
ways known as an out-and-out disunionist
He participated in several disunion con-
ventions at Worcester, his place Of resi-
dence, where resolutions were passed de-
handing the secession of the Northern
States. In fact, the only difference be-
tween him and the bitterest Carolina trail
tor was, that he wanted to dissolve the
Union because he could not abolish slavery
where it existed, and was protected by the
Constitution, while the Carolinians would
break up the Union because slavery could
not be extended over the whole country,
and protected by law. Col. HIGGINsoN
engaged in the war, not to restore the
Union and the authority of the Constitu-
ton, but to put down slavery, and he
would not be in the service a single day
for any other purpose.

Rev. DR.. Chaplin is now enjoying a
visit to Italy. He writes from Rome, that
his sojourn in that city has been one of
singular delight to him. He will, on his
return, deliver a series of lectures upon
Rome, and the suggestions which foreign
travel give to mind like his will greatly
inure to the intellectual profit of his liberal
congregation.

The foregoing summary shows the loss
in Is months to have been Sc per cent, -
and the men fit for service only % per cent.
of the entire number which had ever be-
longed to the company. If we suppose
100000 men to have served the length of
time that has CHANGED to this company, the
residue fit for active service would be now
only $4,000. Such reduction in the
force forcibly shows the necessity of large
additional levies, and gives some counte-
nance to the report that the President,
armed with his CONSUMPTION powers, will
call for number of drafted men equal to
that of any hitherto embraced in any one
call.

Splendid Condition of the Army of
the Cumberland.

The Cincinnati Commercial gives graf
flying account of the condition of Gen.
RosEcRANs' Army. The men are well
clothed, we'll fed, splendidly armed, and
have comfortable quarters. The hospitals
are in admirable order, better constructed,
provided and attended than many il Ohio.
The foraging parties have been exceeding
ly successful. The business of foraging
has been carried on Observation-Disclosures
whole army, indeed, has been exercised at
it-and the result is great deal of whole
some recreation and some spirited fighting
for the troops, and the accumulation of an
immense quantity of corn and other arti-
cles of value and necessity. For weeks,
hardly day has passed but rebel prison.
ers, to the number of one or two hundred,
have been brought in.
A gentleman, whose opportunities for OBJ
servation were unusually good, owing to
his extensive acquaintance not only with
the officers of highest rank, but with the
men in the ranks says, that though he
spent several days in the army, and visited
half dozen regiments, with many of the
men OF which he was we'll acquainted, he
Gid not see drunken or dirty or despon-
dent man. The men are clearly, erect,
well shod. Their gun-barrels glitter like
tubes of silver. They respect themselves,
know their own fighting qualities, and
have the most unlimited confidence in the
genius and invincibility of cold Rosie
