nessee and Missouri, states which are
claimed by the insurgents, are already rep
resented in Congress, and are submitting,
with perfect freedom and in proper spirit,
their advice upon the course best calcula-
ted to bring about, in the shortest time,
firm, lasting and honorable peace. Rep-
resentatives have been sent, also, from
Louisiana, and others are understood to be
coming from Arkansas.
"There is a preponderating argument
in favor of the Congressional form of con-
ference, over that which is suggested by
NJ. Drouyn De L'Huys, viz: that, while
accession to the latter would bring the
government into concurrence with the in
surgents in disregarding and setting aside
an important part of the Constitution OF
the United States, and so would be of
pernicious example; the Congressional
conference, on the contrary, preserves
and gives new strength to that sacred in
strument, which must continue through
future ages the sheet-anchor of the Re-

\ new and magnificent Chamber of
Commerce was opened and dedicated to
trade by the merchants of Milwaukee, on
the Sd inst. An interesting address was
delivered on the occasion by Hon. THOMAS
WHITNEY, devoted to resume of the
growth of that portion of the Northwest
which had business with Milwaukee, dur
ing the last twenty years from which we
extract the following in respect to our
own State:
Let me give you few facts, in passing,
relating to Minnesota alone, whose inter-
ests, from the relative position she occu-
pies, are SO closely allied to those of our
own State.
Five years ago, we were shipping grain
and provisions to Minnesota, for the sup
port of her inhabitants and for seed for
her crops. To-day she is contesting with
us for the palm as wheat growing State,
and if she has thus far failed of success,
it is on the score Of quantity alone, and
not that of quality. No longer ago than
1857 and 1858, she was an importer to a
large extent, yet in 1860, only two years
later, she was an exporter of not less than
10000 900 bushels of wheat, mostly to this
market. Loa 32l 41i 5-

Sentiment and Song in the Army
of the Potomac.

We make the following extract from q
letter handed to US, written by soldier in
the Army of the Potomac 1t brings out
in strong light what we take to be the uni
versal sentiment among the soldiers of that
army
The army does not like the idea of fight
ing for the abolition of slavery. Fighting
for the Constitution is all very well, but
when it comes to the best blood of the
country being poured out for black scoun-
drel who would cut your throat if he got a
good chance, 1t as at least too bad *
would like to have the Constitution re-
established, and l am miNing to right at
the risk of my life to that end. But us far
as slavery is concerned, l am opposed to
any interference with it. ! can tell you,
M, that aboltonist are very scarce
in the army; no matter how great
may be their bias in that direction,
they very soon change their tune when
they come to these parts. pity the poor
paper boy who would be foolish enough to
sing out, "New York Tribune, anywhere
in the vicinity of our camp. 1t would be
the last time he would be caught in such
scrape. One fellow tried it not long ago,
but he called it ''to-day's paper, and was
mounted on fine horse 1t was lucky for
him that he could ride pretty well, or he
would not have tried it again. | tell you
these incidents M, just to let you
know the state of feeling in the camp on
this subject. Now you are eternally both
ering me about my last song. The follow
ing is the latest, and may be tie last:
Attention, brave boys, to the verses I'll sing ::
Some fond rccollections to your mem'ry they'll
bring
OF the days when our banners VIGOROUSLY
waved,
And our way with dead rebels and traitors was
paved.
Then up with the shout; make it ring through
the land
McClcllan's our General, by him we will stand
Come back, Little Mac, lead the hosts of the
free
And proudly we'll die for our country with
thee.
Our Generals are brave as the world ever knew
To their flag and their country they've always
been true;
Their men will stand by them till they conquer
or fall,
But you, Little Mac, you're the idol of all!
Then, up, up with the shout; make it ring
everywhere,
McClellans our General, his glory we'll share
Come back, Little Mac, and again we will
cheer
The gallant young General we all love so dear.
We're obedient to orders; to our country we're
true;
No matter who leads u.s. our duty wen do;
Could we chose our own General, Little Mac is
the one,
Our Generals, too, want him, then why don't he
come?
Then, up, up with the shout; at the top of each
VOice
McClellans our General, our idol and choice.
Come back, Little Mac, and your presence
shall be
tower of strength to the sons of the free!

An intelligent man who formerly resid-
ed in this city, but who, tor reasons not
proper to mention here has resided in
Richmond for the last ten months. has re-
Gently arrived i'll Washington. He was a
clerk in the Adiutant Generals office I'M
der the Contederacy, and resigned his po-
stion for the double purpose of avoiding
the CONSUMPTION and making his escape to
the North. He came North on foot. creep
ing along stealthily, and between Culpep-
per Court House and the Potomac he did
not happen to meet . single rebel or fed
eTal soldier. The information which he
has communicated to the authorities here
is considered authentic, and am enabled
to give You Il few particulars
The fact that he was clerk in the office
of the Adjutant General gives Importance
to his statement concerning the rebel army
He says that there are only +Sl regiments
in the Southern army, but that these are
ali kept full, and all skeleton regiments
have been abandoned; the total number Of
men at the present time being $4,000,
which ,rW certainty be Increased 10 700, 900
by tie first Of june The whole number
of rebel officers he estimates at $4,000, or
about one-half of these in the Federal
army, and he asserts most positively that
droves of that kidney do not crowd the ho-
tells of Richmond as they DO here. He
says it is !: common occurrence for men
to be shot down for attempting to
shirk their duty, and that TO his knowl-
edge, gathered from the records, at least
$500 have thus persisted in different parts
of the country. When he left Richmond
there were five thousand negroes engaged
in strengthening the dofences of that city,
and now it is surrounded by three lines of
Notifications. He describes the conster-
nation that prevailed in the rebel capital
when the Merrimac was blown up, and
when General Mcclellan was at HarrisOn's
Landing, as truly frightful, and there was
at least one occasion when the city might
have been captured with ease. 1t was q
common saying among the Confederates,
that the on y man they feared was Nc
Clellan. In the opinion of the informant,
the rebellion can never be put down until
the finances of the rebels are ruined or
their army broken, for until those events
take place the leaders will have their own
way and the masses remain in a state of
subjugation. Cripple the head devils,
and then things will come right

provisions, &c, to supply home demand, till
the spring of 1858. In that year it may be said
their exports commenced. In the years that
have elapsed since, the change has been won
dertul. They are now exporters by the millions
of bushels when five years ago they were
obliged to send abroad to supply the necessities
of their own people
Very truly yours, JOHN LAWLER.
The growth of this state, as Mr.. Lawler
remarks, has been truly wonderful Tn
1850 she had but 1900 acres of titled land;
in 1860, 433,267. In 1850 her entire crop
of grain and potatoes was but II ,7O9 bush
els; in 1860, 14,693,51 bushels. In
1859, she had 124,972 acres of wheat,
yielding 2,374,4l5 bushels; in 1862,
231,31 acres, yielding 5,1Ol, 432 bushels,
an increase of 106,343 acres, and of
1927, 027 bushels Of wheat in one year,
an increase of eighty-five per cent. in the
breath of wheat sown, and one hundred
and fourteen per cent. in the product.
Her wheat crop in 1860 was nearly five
times greater than that Of I'll New Eng
land in the same year.
Her population in 1860 was one hundred
and seventy-one thousand eight hundred
and siXty-tour; gain OF one hundred
and sixtytive thousand seven hundred and
eighty-seven since 1850, being only about
One-sixth of that of all the New England
states in 1890
Her area Of soil is equal to that of Ohio,
Maryland, New Hampshire, Vermont, New

that of Pennsylvania and Ohio, One-fourth
greater than that of all the New England
States, and more than equal to the COM
bined area of Maine, New Hampshire, YER
mont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Con-
necticut, Maryland, New Jersey and Della
ware. Notwithstanding she was an i'm
porter in 81 and '5S, the ratio OF the
increase of her wheat crop from 80 to go
was greater than that of any State in the
Union.
Her average yield of wheat in 80 was
10 bushels to the acre; in 1860, % bushels
in 1860 she had So per cent. of her titled
land sown to wheat, percentage nearly
double that of either Ohio, Illinois or Iowa
In Michigan and Wisconsin only, of all the
States in the Union, does the relative area
Of wheat to the cultivated land compare
with that of Minnesota.

The correspondent of the Philadelphis

The correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press says, the appointment of General
Hooker as COMMANDMENT Chief is various
ly received by the army. To speak truth
fully, confidence in the powers at the Cap
ital has become SO impaired, that the sol
diers have come to regard all the changes
and plans with indifference. Every one,
however, feels that the new general will
do one Or two things, and that right speed
ily-destroy the rebel army, or our own.
