St. Paul and VVinona Railroad.

The Wabashaw Herald states that measures
have already been taken to procure a survey of
the contemplated railroad between st. Paul and
Winona, along the West bank of the Mississip-
pi for which charter and grant of swamp
lands were given by the Legislature last win
ter. The people along the route are to be
called upon to assist in defraying the expenses
of the survey. The citizens of Wabashaw and
other towns on the river feel lively interest in
this project, and public meeting is proposed
at the place named to take into consideration
ways and means with reference thereto. We
should be very glad to witness the construc-
ton ofthis road but the fact thtlt the company to
chich the grant of lands for this purpose acas giu-
en-, do not design to accept the grant, is not Gerry
encouraging sympton...-- Winona Republican Ill.,
The Republican is mistaken in regard
to the acceptance of this grant, and has
probably COMPOUNDED the rejection of the

ma branch, and designs to build the road
as soon as possible. The Company has

Life at the South.

Those people at the North who are con-
stantly complaining of the high prices of
living and the many disadvantages and
annoyances resulting from the war, will
see in the following, from the Atlanta,
(Ga.) hteAigencer, how little reason they
have to complain, and how inconsiderable
are their Inconvenience as compared with
the sufferings Of the people of the South.
Says the IntelHgencer: f.a oy
To-day OsnaDurgs, yarns, sheetings and
shirtings are higher than ever was known in
Georgia. A poor country woman can't get a
bunch of thread for less than ten dollars
(think of that, ten dollars pound, and cotton
at the highest not more than eighteen or twen-
ty cents pond), and it sells at eight dollars
and half a bunch by the bale. A yard of Os-
naburgs, shifting or sheeting cannot be bought
for less than 81 to ST. 10, and will cost from
ninety cen S to 81 by the bale. ~ %

We understand there was gathering
here this week of the magnates of the Al
DR1oH faction of the Republican party, and
that the fall campaign for State officers
was so arranged as to leave "out in the
cold all who were prominent in the sup
port of Gov. RAMSEY for the Senate. A
few of those present, we learn, having a
wholesome fear that Bluff ALEoK's big
cleaver might leave them headless some
bright morning, were for letting bygones
be bygones, and UNFOLDING the unity of
the great Republican party, but the
principal ALDRIoH fugleman, who was the
ruling spirit of the meeting, declared
against "burying the Ratchet " until "the
traitors were slaughtered" and it is said
his counsels prevailed. If we are not mis-
informed, the names of the victims for ex-
piatory sacrifice were designated and their
executioners appointed--the altar is to be
the floor of the next Republican State Con-
vention. As some of the gentlemen Sc
lected for political death and burial, in or
der to appease the unquiet names of the
ALDR1oH faction, are among our personal
friends, we have deemed it our duty to
forewarn them of their doom" fore

A Slight Revelation I'm the DR.. Bur-
dell Murder.

CHARLES LEWIS, recently executed at
Trenton, N. j., for the crime of murder,
made confession prior to his death which
throws a faint ray of light upon the BUR-
DELL-CUNNINGHAM tragedy, enacted few
years ago in New York. He said his real
name was CHARLES W. S1MoNDs; that he
was well acquainted with DR.. BURDEIL and
Mrs. CUNNINGHAM, and was in company
with the former on the evening of his MUIR
der, and admitted he knew more of the
murder than he would divulge. In his
trunk was found a handkerchief marked

The War in Tennessee.

From indications in the news we receive
from the army of Gen. RosECRANs, bat
tie seems impending. The rebels are daily
growing holder in their attacks, while the
garrison at Murfreesboro are often COM
PEELED to remain idle in camp, within hear
ing Of the frequent skirmishes occurring
about them. Under this inaction our troops
grow FESTIVE, although their confidence in
their General keeps them within the
bounds of discipline. The reinforcements
sent to General BURNSIDE at Cincinnati,
operates as check upon the rebels in
front of RosEoRANs. VAN DORM, and the
Southern leaders had hoped to repeat the
operations last fall, by drawing Gen. Rose
GRAMS from his base Of supplies at Nash
vile, and giving him the slip, compelling
him to take the back track again, like his
predecessor, Gen. BUELL.. RosEoRANs is
too willy soldier. His reputation as a
military leader precludes the idea of sup
posing any serious disaster can occur to
our cause while he commands in Tonnes
see. 1t will not surprise US to hear that
Generals BURNSIDE and RosEoRANs, on
putting their heads together, should con-
trive trap that will catch the astute VAN
Dorm, and the whole rebel horde, now

the curse Of the land both before the war
and in the war. Proposals to overthrow
the constitutional President have from time
to time come from that radical faction, and
as often they have been met by the solid
front Of conservatism, sternly opposing
and frightening into silence the instiga-
tors of treason. The old-time disunion-
lists of the North, the men who declared
the Union devilish, and avowed their de-
termination to overthrow it-these are the
class of men at the North who are to-day
enemies IF the Government, of the Con-
stitution, of the Union. While other men
differ as to the ways of saving the Union,
as to the measures most likely to restore
it's power, these men are now as always
pledged to its overthrow, advocates of
measures which they think tend to destroy
the Union, opponents of all measures which
seem calculated to restore its strength.
The Union will be saved. The pledge of
it's future glory is in the attachment of the
people to the Constitution which makes
and governs it. There will be no peace by
disunion, for there are no Americans in the
North who will consent to it, except only
the radical abolition faction, and they are

The Blue Earth Valley.

The Milwaukee Ne,cs says correspon-

Blue Earth Valley in Minnesota. As a
farming country he thinks it superior to
the best prairie counties of Wisconsin.
1t is better watered, timber is more easily
attained, and the soil is rich black loan,
with more sand than on Wisconsin prai-
ries, yielding wheat and other grains boun-
tifully. Mankato is the local market,
where wheat has been worth dollar the
past winter. Eastern drovers seek that
section largely in the fall for the purchase
of beef ~ 1890.

Abolition 4" Union Savers.''

The offering of a pledge ofloyalty to the
people is an invention designed to convey
the idea that there was so much disloyalty
in the North as to require every man to
"show his hand" The suggestion is a
false one, and so recognized by the coun-
try. It is very much like asking men to
pledge themselves to honesty, or women
to form leagues for a public vow of virtue.
The proposal itself would be insulting.
All the devices of this kind which can
be invented do not conceal the great
truth that while the people at the North
are determined, heart and soul, to sus-
tain the government Of the United States,

On Friday last Charles Lewis was hung
at Trenton, New Jersey, for the murder of
James Rowand, at Princeton, on the 18th
day of November last. From admissions
which he made just before his death, the
belief is strong that he was the murderer
of DR.. Harvey Burdell, in Bond street,
New York, in 1867, which event caused
such a sensation in that city, and for which
Mrs. Cunningham was tried and acquit-
ted. A correspondent of the New York
Tribune, who visited Lewis in his cell, re-
lates the following:
He was, according to his own story, well
acquainted with DR.. Harvey Burdell and
Mrs. Cunningham; was in company with
DR.. Burdell on the evening of his murder,
and had seen him win pile of money in
Bowery gambling house. About that
time Lewis went a-missing, and no more
was seen of him until the 18th of June,
1862, just after his release from the State
Prison at Auburn, where he had served a
term of five years for committing burg
larry in Albany. He next turns up about
the time stated, in New York, in possess
sion of $4,000 in gold 2o-dollar pieces,
which he was anxious to convert into Gov
eminent bonds. He said he never had an
accomplice in his crime, his reason being
that they always wanted to go halves, and
were likely to ''peach" upon him.
In a recent conversation with one of his
counsel, in the hearing of one of the spe
cial Deputy Sherifs at Trenton, he ad-
mitted that he knew more about the MUIR
der of DR.. Burdell than he would divulge.
In his trunk was found q pocket-hand-
kerchief marked "Charles j. Ketcham. u
It may be remembered that shirt,
marked with the same name, was found
in q bloody condition in the attic Of the
house Of Burdell, the day after the
Bond street tragedy. Those who know
most about Lewis believe the hand
kerchief to have come from the same
place, and to have belonged to the same
owner. The theory established on the trial
of Mrs. Cunningham, that Burdell was
killed by left-handed person, is also re-
concilable with the left-handed habits OF
Lewis. He was seen chopping wood at
Milestone with his left-hand, and the evil
dence on the Coroner's inquest on the
body of Mr.. Rowand, shows the blows to
have been struck by left-handed man, on
the presumption that it was dealt from
behind, and Lewis subsequently admitted
that he used the club with his left-hand.
Lewis, before his death, confessed him
self guilty of score or more of murders,
arsons, &C., and during his confinement,
and up to the last moment, manifested the
most fiendish and brutal instincts. With
such contempt and horror did the people
of Trenton regard Lewis, they refused to
allow his body to be buried in the town,
even in the POtter's field. -
