Edwin D Morgan, Republican nom-
inee, has been elected United States Sena-
tor from New York, in place Of Preston
King.
=. This is great Union triumph.
1t is said the rebels are growing sick
Of the war, and sue tor peace. Do not
build any great hopes on the. strength Of
.this:,r - -. ~
The Herald represents that Gen.
Butler hss declined the command rendered
him in Louisiana aud Texas.
Burnside has been offered the new De-
partment embracing North and South Car.
olina, with thirty days allowed to decide
whether he will accept. .
The report that Longstreet had join
ed Bragg with thirteen brigades is con-
6rmed by the vicksburgh Wing.
An order has been issued in Missouri
for executing guerlllas, robbers, confeder-
ate recruiting officers, &c.
The Major Generals aud Brigadier
Generals, in Gen. Grants army in regard
to the Copperhead demonstrations At
Springfield aud Indianapolis, deprecate
aud dcnounce them, and compare them,
rather unfavorably, with jeff Davis and
his crew.
Our Illinois and Western soldiers,
are unanimous in denouncing every man
who raises his voice for peace, peace
conventions, or armistices. They are only
anxious, to be allowed the privilege Of
going forward and putting down rebellion
At the point cfthe bayonet. They do moi
fear the result.
The House Military Committee has
decided to report in favor Of granting
$3.50, 900 to this State for expenses in
CURED in the Indian War, refusing,
however, the further sum Of 100000

From these causes Of corruption, We
now find ourselves aoundering in 4 sea Of

depend upon them to make the promises
Of Stearns County-one Of the richest aud

standard: Various methods have been
suggested for accomplishing this result,
the most prominent Of which is funding
the entire County debt, calling 10 all out
standing orders, and bringing them at once
up to par. We leave it to the Board to
decide what means they shall employ in
performing this duty expected Of them BY
our taxpayers, trusting aud believing
that they will choose whatever is best,
