French fleet wanted supplies. The Mexi-
cans refused, saying they could not fight
them on the Atlantic and feed them on
the Pacific. The ships then commenced
entering the harbor, when the Mexicans
opened from shore batteries and the fort,
three miles from the fleet The shore bat
teries were soon silenced, but the Fort
maintained itself.
After destroying twelve houses and
damaging fifty, the fleet put to sea without
supplies.

I HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAC,
Jan. 26.-This morning Gen. Burnside
turned over the command of the army to
Gen. Hooker. As soon as the change was
known, Gen. Burnside was waited upon
by the principal officers, who took leave of
him with regret.
The following is the address of General
Burnside to the army:
HEADQuARrERs ARMY OF THE PoToMAC,l
January 26.
GENERAL Orders, NO. 9. Ra
BY direction of the President Of the
United States, the Commanding General
this day transfers the command of this Ar
my to Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker.
The short time that he has directed
your movements has not been fruitful of
victory, nor any considerable advancement
of our line, but it has again demonstrated
an amount of courage, patience and en-
durance, that under more favorable cir
cumstances would have accomplished great
results.
Continue to exercise these virtues, be
true in your devotion to your country and
the principles you have sworn to maintain,
give to the brave and skilltul Generals
who have long been identified with you,
your full and cordial support and co-ope-
ration, and you will deserve success.
Your General in taking an affectionate
leave Of the army from which he separates
with SO much regret, may be pardoned if
he bids an especial farewell to his long and
tried associates Of the 9th corps.
His prayers are that God may be with
you and grant you continued success.
By Command of Maj. Gen. BURNSIDE.

Government Circulation.
Rev. G. D. BOwDIsH.

By the new bill which passed the Senate
on the 18th instant, the Treasury is author
lied to issue 100000, 900 Government
notes to the banks of the country, based
upon deposits of Government bonds as col
lateral security.
This $3OO,OOO,OOO will, in part, be al
lotted to the several States according to
representation in Congress. The other
part, or such portions as are applied for,
may be allotted according to the existing
bank capital of the respective States.
In statement showing the bank circu-
lation of each State, and bank capital,
January, 1868, with the Government cir
culation proposed by Senator SHERMAN, we
find the bank capital of Minnesota set
down at 100000, with a circulation of
$4,000, which would give the State a
Government circulation of 81, 1851 900.

BreVet Rank.
O.. NJ.

Congress has under consideration the
passage Of law authorizing the President
to confer brevet rank upon volunteer as
we'll as regular officers. This "brevet q"
gives an officer on whom it is conferred
neither higher pay nor position, but it is a
testimonial of good conduct. 1t is thought
that it will drive officers into the field to
seek distinction, rather than encourage
their hanging around Washington to ask
it of secretaries and congressman, and that
it will serve as an incentive to brave acts.
Said Senator RICHARDSON
Il can see no reason in the world why
we may not pass such a law. While was
in the service 1 would rather have had
brevet rank than actual promotion. /
should have priced it more. During the
progress of the Mexican war, / received

there is no evidence in the world except
my say-so for it. If had the evidence,
by brevet rank, that had conducted my
self creditably on the battlefield, it would
be something that l could point to, and
that my children could point to, and every
body could point to. This is what makes
the soldier; that is what makes the officer

Punish IN eMt of Deserters.

The Governor on Friday sent to the
House of Representatives, a communica-
ton enclosing telegraphic dispatch from
Gen. RosECRANs stigmatizing in strong
terms the crime of desertiOn, so alarmingly
prevalent in the army, and suggesting the
passage of law DISTINGUISHING and dis
qualifying deserters from ever holding Of
fee in the State, as for other infamous
crimes. The message of the Governor and
the dispatch of Gen. RosEoRANs were re-
terred to the committee on Military Affairs.
1t will be observed in our special dispatch
es that the Military Committee OF the
Michigan Legislature have introduced a
bill Furnishing desertion, which embraces
substantially the penalties suggested by
Gen RosEcRANs.

Accident on the River,

Notwithstanding the fact that the ice
on the river has become very much weak
ened within the past three or four days,
teams have continued to travel upon it
with but little interruption although at
very great risk. Yesterday evening an
accident occurred on the river, near the city,
which will be likely to deter persons from
venturing on the ice again, with teams,
during the remainder of the season. A
family of persons from Waupun, Wiscon-
sin, were coming to Winona, and travelled
from La Crosse to this place ON the ice, in
wagon drawn by three spans of mules.
On arriving near the lower end of the
levee, the forward pair of mules broke
through the river, and were drowned be-
fore they could be extricated. The other
four mules and the wagon and contents,
were narrowly saved from being carried
under the ice. - Winona Republican,

"A Bridegroom Left in the Rear.

a loving couple who got married in Stat

tour for this city. After reaching William
antic, and getting comfortably seated in
the cars, the bridegroom discovered that
he had lost his tickets. While he stepped
out to replace them, the missing tickets
were discovered; and learning this on his
return to the Car, he at once went out again
to exchange the last set Of tickets for Lin
coin currency, but on again starting for
the cars, he saw them steaming away at a
2:4O gait to Hartford-bride and all! It
was the last train for the day, and the
newly made husband, determined not to
lose his bride, hired a team and drove
frantically to Andover, hoping to inter-

Remedies for Diptheria...Letter from
Rev. Mr.. BOwdish OF Faribault.

TO the Editor Of the Pioneer:
FARIBAuLr, MIMI, Feb. "a, 1868.
Seeing accounts in your paper of the
ravages of Diptheria in this State, l desire
to give to the suffering the following
treatment, furnished by an eminent ply
stefan of New York, who used it with
great success when that disease ragged so
fearfully few years ago. Please find a
place for 1t and request exchanges to copy.
Yours truly,
C. G. BOWDISH.
DIprHER1A OR P UTRIDSoRE THRoAT.-This
disease, the papers inform us, is doing ter
rible work, especially among children, in
some counties Immediately surrounding
us, and many cases in our own county
have already occurred. 1 desire to make
known the treatment which has been most
successful, and which has been generally
adopted by the medical faculty of the city
of Albany. The following letter is from
DR.. S. o. VANDERPooL, of that city:
ALBANY, 1868.
MY DEAR SIR Il received your letter making
inquiries concerning Diptheria.
BRIEFLY The local symptoms which seem
worse to the patient, are secondary to the ply
stefan. No strong applications are made. If
the patient is old enough he may gargle with
yeast and water, or vinegar and water, either OF
which give temporary relief to the burning; if
too young use swab with some yeast, so that
the accumulated mucus may be removed. In
during the feYerish stage (Which is usually
shorD with the following for a child four or
five years old: one drop muriatic acid, and four
or five drops muir. tinct iron, in teaspoonful
thick syrup, every two to four hours, according
to the urgency of the symptoms. Use nutri-
tious diet, and as soon as the fever abates COM
mence with stimulants in combination with
beef tea, say teaspoonful of good whisky every
three hours. The pain in swallowing is so
great that it is difficult to induce children to
take sufficient food it must be frequently Of
fered in some palatable form. When croupy
symptoms superVene, commune as ABOVE, altern-
ating with lao gr. bi-iOdide mercury, rubbed
in sugar, counter irritated with spirits turpen-
tine and sweet oil over the throat.
The disease is one of low type and impaired
vitality-is constitutional as much as scarlet
fever, so that any tampering by caustics or
other strong applications, increases the size of
the slough, and thus aggravates in many cases
the local symptoms. AS in all epidemics, after
a season the virulence of the poison exhausts
itself, so that many cases, looking as bad as
those that die in the ouset, get well.
Truly yours,
s. OAKLEY VANDERPOOL.

fighting II out with them TO the bitter end
while Greeley, frightened at his own emancipa-
ton shadow, says, let us do all we can till May
