We publish, X. request, this week /.
speech of Parsona Brownlo~'s, delivered
at Fair in Kent County, Mich. Il is
told in the Parsons rough, homcly way,
but contains volumes of history / concern
ing the rebellion in its strongholds-of
the sufferings Of Union men, and the in
famous barbarity Of the rebels. Northern
doughface Democrats have nothing to say
Of the patriot Hahn, who was hung be-
cause he prayed for the President Of his
country, nor Of the hundreds of others
murdered for simila, reasons, but they
can discuss arbitrary arrests" "Aboli-
tionism," etc, Without limit, Reader,
when you have finished Parsou Bro1wnloWn' s
speech, ask yourself if there is any place,
either in this world or that which is to
come, hot enough for Southern rebels and
Northern sympathizers. -: ~os-4

COL. al1LLER's: LECTURE.

AS was annouced in our last weeks is-

ing: By request Of the Ladies' Soldiers
Aid Society he delivered lecture at the
Seminary en- Nv ednesday evening, for the
benefit Of the Society. Although no bills
were issued until the preceding afternoon,
the house was a perfect jam. Word had
spread in the. country, and people were in
from a circuit Of twenty miles, anxious to
hear and see the Colonel. At the time
announced for the lecture, z. II. Morse,
Esq was called to the chair, an6 in a few
pertinent remarks introduced Col! Miller
to the audience. The appearance Of the
speaker on the stage, was greeted with
continued applause. The subject chosen
was, ''The History Of the First Minnesota
Regiment" Of which Col. NJ. had been
for more than ayear Lieutenant Colonel.
He opened by stating that the First was,
by one or two days, the oldest regiment in
the field: The various movements Of the
regiment during the time the Colonel was
connected with it, the dozen or more bat.

There is probably no. man in Northern
Minnesota who could have received so en-

DEMOCRATIC CAPITAL.

The 100 Illinois is said to be disbanded. -
The regiment. except company X, refused to do
anything more until the President withdraws
his proclamation.
The above, which we find in the St.
Paul Pioneer, can be set down as a mon
strous falsehood, manufactured out of The
whole cloth, and most probably in the Pr
oneer Office. As so much was said BY
the Democratic press about the disastrous
effects that the Presidents proclamation Of
Freedom would have on the army, and as
their predictions have all come to naught,
it is necessary to manufacture such affairs.
"The wish is father to the thought: In
no way could such an event as that con-
taiued in the above paragraph take place,
but by all the regiment, save Company K,
being Democrats-uncombed, unlettered,
unwashed, from Egypt-and these are the
very fellows that stay out Of the army.
They consider their place to be at home,
where, in safety, they can elamor at the
Administration for what efforts it may
make to crush the rebellion. Too long
they succeeded in governing its policy,
but now, when the President listens to bet
ter counscls, and shapes matters accord
ing to his own judgment, these copper
heads howl as the iron heel is being
ground ON their friends iu Dixie. When
you find = man in tho army who com.
plains Of the Proclamation, you may be
certain that he is one Of the same stripe

a fence to command more extensive view
steadying himself with his gun. The
butt of the gun slipped and the top Of the
hammer struck the rail exploding ths cap
and the whole charge. The buckshot
passed through his hands, severing the
ends Of two fingers upon the left hand,

nostril, others entered his neck, while one
penetrated his breast. The latter the sur
geon was unable to trace with a probe

that it penetrated the lung. The great
thickness Of his coat and overcoat proba-

THE PLOT ACK OwLEDGED.

& - F-l1=
The Montreal, Commercial Advertiser, a
Canadian Secesh organ, gives the following
semi-oficial account of the just exposed, and
exploded conspiracy. The object, as admit
ted, was to relieve the Johnson's Island prs-
oners, and .any further operations on the
lakes were left to the discretion of the officer
in conmand'.-an open confession that all
the burning, pillage and damage, would have
been done which opportunity afforded: bs
The expedition intended to effect the lib
Grafton of the Confederate officers held pris-
oners on Johnson's Island, Lake Erie, having
failed, i'll order to remove the misapprehen-
sions that may be created by Federal accounts
of Canadian plot to burn Western cities, we
give below all the facts in which the public
is interested. which may we are assured Ee
implicitly relied on e
+a" The Washington Government having re-
fused to continue the exchange of prisoners
officers accustomed to a tropical climate to
Johnson's Island, where $500 of them were
corfned in wrctched quarters, absolutely un-
fit to house cattle. There is no reason to
doubt that the officers selected for this; prison
We're those upon whom the cold, damp cli-
mate, would act most preiudicially. 1t was
in fact an attempted murder, without public
ly ineurring the odium of slaughter. g
these circumstances the Confederate
Government determined to make an attempt
to rescue the doomed officers, and for this
purpose an expedition was fitted out consist
ing of thirty-six officers under the commad
of one who had distinguished himself in
similar dashing enterprises, and three hum
dred men. The officers embarked at VIII
mington in the Confederate steamer R. E.
Lee, and landed at Halifax The cotton and
tobacco brought by that steamer as freight
were. sold to furnish the funds required.
amounting TO $11o,o0o. The men came ov-
erland through the States, in small parties to
the general rendezvous.
The intention was to surprise the FEEDER
al garrison on Johnson's Island, liberate the
prisoners, convey them to Canada in vessels
provided for that purpose, and forward them
to Halifax, to Nassau or Bermuda; the great
er part of the funds being specially devoted
to paying their passage to ore Of these points.
Amy further operations on the Lakes were
left to the discretion of the officer in COM
mand, whose orders were stringent and per-
emptory to avoid breach of British neutrali-
ty, and to take care that even the semblance
of International wrong should be prevented.
Had Johnson's Island been taken, it might
have formed basis for other operations
against Federal commerce on the Lakes; but
the real object of the expedition was to res
cue two thousand valuable Ewes from the CRU
| city which had devoted them to slow but
certain death in a climate and situation inthe
last degree inimical to them.o
