Line commissioners estimate that about
500 will require support during the win
ter, and about 100 others occasional aid.
1t will be highly satisfactory to know
that the correspondence of the Governor
with the General Government has elected
the fact that TIE expenses of the Indian
War are to be assumed at Washington.
The Governor has advised the Attor-
ney General to prosecute the suit of the
State against fraudulent pre-emptors Of
School Lands, in the Supreme Court Of
the United States he re-iterates his an.
nual recommendation for more thorough
and efficient School System; states that
the financial difficulties of the State Uni.
versity are in course of satisfactory ad-
justmcnt, and discusses the important SUBJ
jcct of public lands at considerable
length; and repeats his protest against
the improvidcnt legislation which scizcs
upon various prctexts to squander the,s
away.
There are seven Banks in Minnesota
two of them, the Marine Bank and the
Bank of Minnesota, being new organiza-
tions. Their outstanding circulation on
the LIST of January was $2OO,3l6, being
an increase of $l19, 1870 since January 1st,
1862.
The State Prison is shown to be eco
nomically and ably managed, but greatly
neglected by the State.
On the subjec of railroads there are
no important recommendations.
The Governor alludes with a natural
pride to the success of Minnesota in
raising more than its quota of soldiers for
the national cause, and in connection
with the Indian war justly remarks that
as the annals of savage warfare afford no
parallel to the extent and ferocitv of the
outbreak, so also wemay search our early
Colonial records in vain for an instance
of great Indian uprising so promptly
and effectually quelled; but he does not
say what he might have done, with equal
truth. that this result was chiefly due to
the energy and judicous management of
the Comander-in-C Chief.
The Governor regards the Immediate
removal of the Indians as an imperative
necessity, and the capital punishment OF
the guilty prisoners as sine qua non in
the settlement of our Indian difficulties.
He argues at length the right of the State
to try the guilty Indians-if released by
the Governments her own courts, and
RENTS the whole question to the Lcgisla.
ture. The peroration of the message is
devoted to national affairs, and besides
being exceedingly fine as piece of rhet.
oric, is eminently "sound on the goose.

Neither House transacted any business
yesterday. At II o'clock they met in
joint convention when the Governor
delivered his annual message. After its
reading both Houses adjourned.
There was . large crowd in attend
ance during its delivery including many
ladies.

| THE GOVBDNOD,1 MB10A0B.
The two houses assembled in JOINT con-
vcntion Wednesday at 12o'clock to listen
to the Governors message, but they
formed small portion Of the numerous
audience who had gathered for the same
purpose. An unusually large number Of
ladies occupied seats within the bar, and
they seemed to be, and we are bound to
presume were, deeply interested in the
Governors exposition Of the affairs Of
his administration. - s. ..l,.& :,
The message. which we print at length
on our second page, is astatesman-like and
dignified document, and presents very
clear and exhaustive review of the trans
actions of the several departments. His
exhibit of the financial condition of the
State is particularly gratifying, especially
in view of the largely increased pressure
of taxation which the war has imposed
upon us-the wide destruction Of proper
ty inflicted by the Indian raid, and the
immense diminution of the labor re-
sources of the State from the withdrawal
Of such large numbers of its citizens from
industrial pursuits to swell the ranks Of
the national armies. -i.r-

LEsxuR, Jan. q 1863.
There will Of course be anxious specn-
lation whether or not the Second Mime
sofa was engaged II the late battle near
Murfreesboro. Let me say what I know
Of its connections. The Brigade (the
3rd) consists Of the 9th and So Ohio,
18th regulars, 87th Indiana e new regi-
ment) and the End Minnesota. To this
brigade is attached Loder's (regnlar) bat
terry, ably commanded by Lieut.. Smith
of St. Paul. When you hear of either Of
the above regiments or Of that battery
being engaged, you may infer that the
second was in. So if the brigade COM
mander, Gen. Steadman, is named as to
the division commander, it is mixed.
The division (thc LIST. used to be Gen.
Thomas, but he now commands the Cen
ter of Rosecrans army, consisting of five
divisions of which his old .'1st divi ion, "
is one. The bri gade commanders were
Gems. Schepf, Fry and Steadman. On
Gen. Thomas having higher command,
Gen. Schepf succeeded to the division
as ranking Brigadier, but he is q be:
lieve) on the Bruce court Of inquiry, and
Gen Fry became division commander.
On the 18th ult., Lieut.. Col. Bishop
wrote me that it was then understood that
Gen. Schuyler Hamilton was to command
the division. Gen. H., it will be remem-
bered, was the commanderof the division
in which the 18th Minnesota served at Cor
NTH. ....-..s .-..fr.~.a~-
So you read of Schepffs, or Fry's,
or Hamilton's division, being in an en-
gagemcnt, it is we'll enough to count in
the Second. .-.--.-.- ....-...
My own conjecture is, that our regi-
ment has not yet been engaged. I be-
lievc the division has been separated.
Col. Harlan's brigade, that we read OF
chasing Morganup into Kentucky, I take
to be Gen. Fry's brigade. Gen. Stead
mans was near Huntsville, Tennessee,
when last heard of, expecting to be re-
lieved, and join the main army at Nash
Vile. .-. ....
The % Minnesota, 35th Ohio and 18th
regulars, were just below where 'the in
evitable Morgan gobbled brigade a
few weeks since. 1t is compliment to
our regiment and the others that Morgan
never called at their camp, although he
''gobbled' the detachment above, and
''shelled out" the one below. ...
Yours, S. P. j.
-General Fry was captured by
the rebels on December 3lst with the haul
of 1900 prisoners taken in sudden raid
upon our right flank. 1t is possible,
therefore, that the Second Minnesota may
be among them. Gen. Hamilton COM
manded the reserves. Schepf is not

A general allegation in complaint that the
plaintiff is the owner in fee of land is sufficient
by opening street through such, lands. If the
right to such damages had passed to some one
other than the plaintiff, by assignment or other

damages. -s-.5 .ssts
The Legislature has the power to appoint off,
GERS within the limits of municipal corporation,
