The $25O,OOO scheme before the PeO-
pie for their Action.

The City Council, as shown by the pro-
ceedings published yesterday, on that
matter, have passed the resolution COM
mitting the city to the gift of quarter of
million to the Lake Superior and Mis-
sissipli Railroad Company, on condition
of the completion Of twenty miles of its
road within two years, and of perfecting
the line from st. Paul to the head of
Lake Superior within five years. This
action of the Council is subject to a ratili-
cation, by the people at the POLLS on the
fifteenth of this month, when the matter
viii be submitted, according to the terms
of the resolution. '
The subject is, therefore, wholly and
directly at the disposal of the people who
4 einterested in the future ofthe city--who
are TO be benefited by its growth, and to
bear It's burdens. We have already done
what we conceived to be our duty in the
premises, in opposing the scheme as i'll
timed, unnecessary, speculative aud de-
strrctiVe in its effects upon our city credit.
We have no new arguments to advance
against it; and the project has been so
thoroughly eanyassed, on both sides, that
we do not feel called upon to repeat those
which have been urged in opposition. The
tax-paying citizens are the ones to be
affected TO tleir benefit or injury, in the
final decision, which happily rests with
themselves; and We leave it to their sound
judgments to carry out their honest de-
sires for tie best good of all.

liz some remarks concerning railroad
gratuities, short time ago, We expressed
the opinion that St Paul could do better
with the gratuities if she wishes to deal in
them, than offer them in the Lake Supe-
rior direction; that the Minnesota Valley,
which had thus far built up and sutained
our city, presented more desirable route
for any public investment; and that if
that trade was taken away we should ex-
perience a vacuum which half a dozen
railroads to Lake Superior could not
fill up. The Faribault Republican quotes
our remarks and adds the following COM
ments:
That is certainly good common sense but
the PIONEER should not be surprised it its sen
sible suggestions are not readily adopted by the
people OF St. Paul. They have been so long
and so zealously taught that the only portion
Of the outside world in which they had any i'll
terest was the plains of the Saskatchewan, the
Winnepeg basin, and the tamarac swampS be-
tween Sunrise and Lake Superior, that they
will not be likely to adopt the sensible sugges-
tiOns of the PIONEER at once. 1t is SAID to be
hard learning old dogs new tricks, and dib
PIONEER will find it quite as hard to eradicate
the prejudice instilled into the minds of The
people OF st. Paul by the foolish teachers to-
whose teachings they have. so long and pa
tientiy listened. '''" 4i'

places, and left, as was supposed, dead on

additional satisfaction, that is so rarely

obituaries of himself in the newspapers.

Correspondence of the Pioneer.
Another American citizen of aboriginal de-

grounds of his Dakota fathers, by the persua-

number of persons have been engaged du-
ring the fall hunting and trapping in the Kan
diyohi Lake region, about sixty miles west of
Glencoe. Two of the number, Simon and
Oscar Horner, who are also enrolled as indie
pendent scouts, on Wednesday last, saw three
indians crossing point of land between two
lakes. The next day. while on the lookout
for the savages, they discovered an Indian near
Long Lake, about six miles northwest of the
Big Kandiyohi. As soon as the Indian saw the
Horners he endeavored to escape, but bullet
from the rifle of one of the brothers, travelled
a deal faster, and the Indian fell to the ground
shot through the neck. The wound was NOR

the brothers reached the body. Evidence of a

Heavy Strategy Again.

TIE Press is great on strategy, chiefly,
however, in the secondary signifcat;on of
the word, implying artitice to deceive the
enemy. The slaughter of ten thousand
men at the assault Oh Fredericksburg by
BURNSIDE, in its opinion, was only harm
less bit OF strategy-merely pretence of
doing something not intended to be done,
to amuse General LEE, while BANKS was
moving up the James river or the Chowan
river, to snatch the rebel capitol. But the
greatest strategical feat of the Press-the
boldest as we'll as the most subtle devel-
opment of its power, was its capture of
Richmond through General KEYEs, during
HooKEE's campaign south of the Rappa-
hammock. Its full column of staring
heads announcing in every conceiv-
able form of expression that Richmond
was "ours, was nothing however to the
column of strategical balderdash inflicted
upon its read RS, proving that Richmond
night, could, would, and should have been
taken, and therefore it ,cds taken, and
that anybody who dared to doubt, was
either fool or copperhead. The terri
BILE next morning awakened the Press to
consciousness that it was the laughing
stock of the town, and the great newspa-
per TURENkE, fell from his dizzy height,
amid the jeers of those he had deluded
into excesses. He still contended, how
ever, that Richmond was " logically +" tax
en-, and that it was through no fault of his
that the actuality was wanting. Strategy
and logical victories were his abomiAation
for long time. But the late campaign

terday's issue of the Press the following
speculatiOns:

We are inclined to guess that Meade's re.
cent advance was intended mainly as a diver.
sion in favor OF Burnside, and by menacinp
Lee with serious attack, prevent him sendinS
any reinforcements to Longstreet.
Among the circumstances which sustain
this view. is the fact that Meade did not nush
decisively forward till the 26th. when the gov
ernment had already received news of Grants
success at Chattanooga, which placed Lone
street in imminent danger of capture if the
requisite dispositions were not promptly made
to favor his escape into Virginia, or to enable
him to maintain his ground in East Tennessee
That Lee, relying on Meade's inactivity
would have made some such dispositions to
extricate Longstreet, is probable, and in order
TO ensure the capture or crushing of the latter
it was necessary for Meade to menace him.
That any more serious campaign was intended
TO be made upon a ten days supply of rations
does not seem probable.
Now we take the liberty to guess that the
newspapers & both in their proonosti-
cations of what Meade was going to do. and in
their Interpretation of his not doing it. have
said, and are saying, precisely what the mill
tary authorities, Meade included, have wanted
them TO say.
The above, written fifteen hundred miles
from the scene Of operations, and based
upon nothing, may delude very few into
the belief that the late campaign was q
complete success; but to the intelligent
reader it is unmitigated nonsense
