place In the ranks, not knowing, even by

the thick Of the fight ut Manassas, on the
memorable alst Of July, ISL and whcu the the
National troops retreated to Alexandria aud
Washington, Logan, who was slow to leave
tho field, got separated from his regiment,
was taken prisoner as L rebel By squad Of

pretty roughly and carried him along under
guard to Alexandria, where he was kept tTo
days in tue guard house, his captors speaking
no English, ard.he Was not acquainted with

Gen. Blenker and interrogated. He declared
himsefa Union volunteer, but had forgotten
the name Of his regiment, company and off,
Of their suspicious, for Logan did not disclose
the fact that he was CONGRESSMAN. Hc was
ordered back to the guard. house.
On leaving headquarters he vas recognized
by another member Of Congress, Who hlppen-

Southern friends and their allies counted sure

he gave them timely notice that there must be
no nonsense. no Interruption OF the Ni4siss;p-

Colonel 4. 3. Rhctt, Jr., Editor Of Mercury:
In the 1ercuTy Of this date you appear to
have written under misapprchcnsion # the
facts connected with the present stat'ts Of the
negroes captured In arms on Morris nnd
James Islands, which permit me to state as
follows:
Tic proclamation of The President, dated
December "a, 1862, directed that all negro
slaves captured Ia arms, should be at once
delivered over to the executive authorities of
the respective States to which they belong. to
be dealt with according to the Laws Of said
6tttes.
An Informal application was made By the
State authorities for the negroes captured in
this vicinity; but us none ot them, 1t appear
cd, had been slayes Of citizens Of South Car
authority. for at The moment there was no
official Information ut these headquarters Of
the aet Of Congress by which "all negroes
and lnn]attoes, Kho shall be eEgagcd IN war
or be taken in arms against the Confederate
states," or shall give aid or comfort 10 the
cucmlea OF llE tuU1euG11lf GLa1es, were Ql-
rectcd to be turned over TO the authorities Of
tic "State or States in which they shall be
captured, to be dealt with according to the
present or future la1s Of such State or
SiatcB''
On the 21st Of July, however. the command.
ing General teleg.arhed to the Secretary of
War for instructions rs to the disposition to
be made Of the nesroes captured on Morris
and james Island, and on the I'D received
reply that they mus. be turned oscr to the
State authorities, by virtue Of the joint reso-
luton Of Congress in question
Accordingly, on the 29th Of July, as soon
as copy Of the resolution OF act was re-
ceiycd, lis Excellency, Gov. Bonha,a, was in.
formed that tic negroes captured were held
subject to his orders, to bc dealt with accord
ing to the 1aTs ct South Carolina.
On nthe eamc day {29th Jr1y) Gov. Bonham
requested that they should be retained In
military custody until he could make arrange
msnts to dispose Of them, aud in that Gus.
looy they stu remain, awaiting the orders OF

S7. Paul, Aug. a5, 1863.
! Tho Democratic convention met to-
cay to appoint delegates to the State Conyen-
ton which meets on Wednesday, They pass
cd resolutions instructing the delegates to
support ex-senator Henry II. Rice, In the
State Convention, for the office Of Governor.
The Copperheads have been denouncing Rice
bitterly Tor the last year, and especially so
this summer; but hoping to win with bis
ramc at the head Of their ticket, they have
offered to let him make his own platform, and
select the remainder Of the ticket, II he will
accept. Is he is shrewd enough to sec that
it will take majority OF the votes cast in the
State to elect him, It Is doubtful whether he
accepts, even under these circumstances, but
his nomination is almost certain If he says the
word at present.
Mr. Rice is seriously i'll at his house in this
city, suffering from hemorrhage.
Rice stock stands well, there Is more proba-
bility Of lis getting the nomination than there
Is Of his accepting. The Copperheads have
imported the great living martyr Edison B..
O1ds, who performs at the international
Hold this evening. He bringsa supply Of
waite paper.
Dates from the Indian expedition up to the
18th bring nothing startling. They are jour
neying lomcward without accident, and ex-
pected to reach Fort Abercrombie last Thurs.

Gov. Curtin is no alarmist, but cautious.
It is contemplated to raise cavalry force of

Philadelphia is now full Of politics. The
