The Record gives the following account
of the premature resurrection of the bodies
of the bodies of the Indians lately execut-
ed at Mankato:
On the day Of execution, number of
physicians from different parts of the State
were here to procure bodies for scientific
purposes. Before midnight on Friday, at
least eight or ten bodies were taken up
and carried off. Others were taken on
Saturday, Sunday and Monday nights, for
the same purpose; and very few, if any,
remain in the grave at the present time.
An eminent physician from an adjoining
town obtained the bodies of old Cut-Nose
and the large Indian that broke his rope;
and he has had them scrubbed, their hair
cut, and transformed generally SO that
were they to return to life again they
would not know themselves.
A number of orders for dead bodies have
been received here-One from Chicago by
physician for several bodies, for which
he proposed to pay the eH,ur0gont sum of
so each delivered in that city.

Governor Seymour's Message.

We present to our readers very clear
synopsis of that portion of Gov. SEYMoUR's
message which relates to national affairs.
The doccment in full would fill our paper,
to the exclusion of everything else. The
style and temper of the message is admir-
able, and its doctrines will meet the ap-
probation of conservative men of all par
ties. ..-

Interesting Correspondence Between
Gen. EEcCleilaD and EsisIsop Whip
pie, OF minnesota.

From the Roston Courier, Jan B.
We rejoice in the opportunity to publish
the following profoundly interesting and
affecting correspondence. communicated
to us by a valued friend
Ny DEAR SIR The following CORES
pondence between General Mcclellan and
Bishop Whipple Of Minnesota, took place
Immediately after the battle of Antietam
The Bishop, who had known the General
for years, allowed me to take copy of
the correspOndence-bu not for publica-
ton. Since the removal of General Nc
Clellan, however, there would seem to be
no improperly in the publication, and pos
sibly it may throw some light upon the
secret of his power over the army, gaining
their love and inspiring their confidence
Yours, &c, j. A. B.

The Senatorial Question.

The members of the Legislature are en-
tirely absorbed with the Senatorial ques-
ton. Every other interest than this is
disregarded, and laid aside. There are
many subjects demanding instant legisla-
ton; some, like the condition and COM
pensation of the sufferers by the Indian
raids, which ought to appeal to the hui
mainly as well as justice of members );
but they receive no attention. Nor will
they until Senator shall be chosen. Per-
sonal interests lie at the bottom of all poll
tics, nowadays; and these must be cared
for before public matters can have merited
recognition.
Under these circumstances, the sooner
the Senatorial question shall be disposed
of, the better And, within the limits of
any probable settlement, it will make very
little difference who may turn up the win
ming man. According to the accounts
given of each other by the friends of the
prominent candidates, both are corrupt,
and even criminally dishonest-well fitted
for cells in the penitentiary, but utterly
unfit for seats in the highest Legislative
body of the nation.
If it vera not that really pressing public
interests are put in allegiance by this con-
test, the wrangling of members might be a
source of legitimate amusement to those
who delight in rough-and- tumble scrimages
of the vulgar Sort A pair of hungry, i'll
fed ours, snarling over bone, furnishes
the only adequate illustration of the viru-
lence of the quarrel. There are many con-
siderations which conspire to render the
fight a violent one. 1t is not confined to
the Senatorship alone. 1t takes in the whole
range Of Federal patronage. 1t is consid-
cred that, if ALDRICH wins, the present
office holders will retain their positions,
and have another two years chance at the
pickings and stealings. Whereas, if RAM
sEY shall be transferred to Washington, it
is known that the whole State will be
marked with the gravestones of defunct
officials. This is the animus of the fight.
This is why every man holding office in
the Land, Surveying, Law, Post Office,
and Indian Departments of the Federal
Government here, are so vOciterous in
praise of ALDMoH, and so ready to spend
their "bottom dollars to insure his sue
cess. And this is why, too, that all the
hungry, starved, and half-clad office-seek-
ers and expectants, are the enthusiastic
admirers of RAMSEY
Such being the state of the contest, and
of the influences which control it, it need
not surprise any one if RAMSEY shall prove
successful. The Outs are always more
numerous than the ms RAMSEY can
make his promises go farther, and proba-
bly, do more effective service, than can be
done by the money of ALDRICH's office
holders. The Bank of Hope has always
greater resources than the Bank of Cash ;
and RAMSEY is President, Cashier, and
Board of Directors combined, of the for.
mer institution. So, as matters now
stand, and as between the Colonel and the
Governor, we may safely predict that the
latter will secure the coveted prize.

FREDERICK, September y, 1862.
Ny DEAR GENERAL: | have spent the

the great love they have to you When |
told them how tenderly you had spoken OF
them, and how you knelt with me in prayer
for Gods blessing upon them, many Il

side / heard, "GoI bless him, "God
bless the General" while here and there
some veteran claimed the privilege to say,
"God bless little Mac l had the oppor-
tunity to commend some dying men to
God, and to whisper the Saviour's name in
their ear for the last journey.
If did not fear Of wearying you, could
write an hour, telling you OF words of low
ing confidence spoken by hose brave suf-
ferers, who have been with you in good
and evil report. Twill not. But cannot
close without telling you how sweet is the
remembrance of the pleasant service held
in your camp, nor to assure you that it is a
pleasure every day to ask God to bless you.
Your way is rough. Many do not know
you. Many are jealous Of your success.
Many will try to fetter you. But let no
cloud above, or thorn beneath, trouble you

Saviour, the Holy Ghost our Comforter.
God will hear our prayers 1t may be

yond. God bless you.

officer of high rank in the rebel service,
and translated for the National Intelligent

description of the campaign on the PENN

Death of Gen. Sill.

This distinguished officer was killed in
the battle of Wednesday at Murfreesboro.
He entered the service as Colonel of the
33d Ohio Infantry, and had command of a
brigade under Gen. A. Med. McCook at
the battle of Shiloh. Upon the reorgan-
ization of Buell's army, after the retreat
to Louisville, he was placed in command
of the division to which his brigade was
attached, and was promoted to Brigadier,
we believe, about the same time. He was
in command of this division-the Third
in the recent battle. His standing in the
army was very high-none, indeed, were
winning reputation faster than himself.

FATAL ACCIDENT.-On Saturday
evening, Sept. 18th, a gang of worth
less vagabonds of the vicinity of
Maxwell, Genoa township, went up
into Harlem township for the pur-
pose of robbing a melon patch Al
though they claimed to be out
coon hunting, they were minus dogs
or axes. They succeeded in getting
the melons without any trouble; but
sad accident befel one of the par
ty on their way home. The con-
temptable gang was composed of
.Copperheads, and they being good
peace men, were well armed with
'daggers manufactured out of old files
by one of their brother Butternuts.
These daggers, when complete, are
about fifteen inches in length and
sharp on both edges, and are
carried in a leather scabbard, con-
cealed inside the pants. The night
was dark and rainy and the party
were running to seek shelter, when
the ill-fated young men fell. bursting
his melon and thrusting his dagger
into his thigh, severing an artery
and causing him to bleed to death in
a very few minutes, while his brave
comrades all deserted him, nearly
to death, and leaving
him in the storm to die uncared for;
an honest man chanced to pass by,
and discovering the trouble; went
to neighbor near by and procured
a light, while few of mis- compann-
ions, who had returned, carried him
into barn out of the drenching rain,
he living but a short time, and new
spoke after. A coroners inquest was
held and a verdict given in accord
ance with the above facts. L.

is unrivaled by any, and in all cases of Lame
ness, arising from Sprains, Bruises or Wrench

and Saddle Calls, Scratches, Mango, sc it will
also cure speedily. SPAWN and Ringbone may
be easily prevented and CURED in their incipi-
ent stages, but confirmed cases are beyond the
possibility of a radical cure. No case of the
kind, however, is so desperate or hopeless but
it may be alleviated by this Linament, and its
faithful application will always remove the
Lameness, and enable the horse to travel with
comparative ease.
Every horse owner should have this remedy
at hand, for its timely use at the first appear

those formidable diseases mentioned, to which
all horses are liable, and which render so many
otherwise valuable horses nearly worthless.
