IS Peace at Amy Prices

The radical newspapers, with their &C
customed fertility in lying, insist that the
democrats are for compromise and ''peace
at any price" The dictum of Mr.. Sew
ARD that ga Union must be Union of
willing, not of conquered States,' and the
dictum of President LINCOLN, in his inar-
gural address: "Suppose you 60 to war,
you cannot fight always, and when, after
much loss on both sides, and no gain on
either, you leave fighting, the identical
question as to terms of intercourse are
again upon yOu,"-are, without doubt,
accepted to-day by many thinkers, who
are also patriots But "peace at any
price" has not been announced as the po-
litical creed of any party, or any consider
able body of men at the North. The only
prominent politicians who have advocated
"peace on the best possible TERMS" are
Mr.. VALLANDIGHAM and HORACE GREELEY.

Military Resources of France.

The military strength of France is al
ways a subject of apprehension in Europe.
The cost of maintaining it constitutes the
largest item in the annual expenditure,
and nearly double the whole naval and CO.
lonial outlay. The usual peace establish
ment consists of 4O4, 1872 infantry, and
$1,000 cavalry; in war these numbers
may be augmented to 757,725 infantry
and 1929 cavalry, making a total OF
913, 489 soldiers, or very nearly one in forty
of the whole population, adult and other
wise. The establishment for the year
1868 is counted and distributed as follows:
Interior, SSs,562; Algeria, 55,2s5; TIA
ly, 1880, China, 915; Cochin China,
Ito; Mexico, 27,945. Total, 44O,s36
No doubt the force in Mexico must be in
creased. The first detachment, in con.
junction with British naval squadron
and Spanish army, was 5000 men. The
allies having withdrawn, France has more
than quadrupled her first contingent. The
Mexican expedition is very unpopular IN
France, which is one reason why it must
be prosecuted with vigor. 1t is NApoLE'
oN's first blunder, but great one.

Real Estate in Chicago.

The real estate market in Chicago is
very active at present. Sales are numer-
GUS and prices rising.
The Chicago Times of the 10th inst,
gives list of sales lately made, all for
cash at high figures, and remarks:
These are only an index to the numerous
transfers of real estate now being made almost
daily. The price of property in Chicago is
rapidly rising, and much greater anxiety is
manifested to invest than formerly. The soil
of Chicago will soon be worth as much bank
paper as will cover it, and even then increase
Many purchases are now being made by parties
from the east and large numbers of their cap
italists are turning their attention. to Chicago as
the very best place for purchasing property.
We expect to see some of these eastern
capitalists here in St. Paul soon after the
opening of navigation, which they will
probably find to be better place for in
vestments than even Chicago. Our best
business lots can be purchased at from
800 to $50 per front foot.

Boston Gifts to Mcclellan.

Gen. MCCLELLAN was presented IN BoS-
ton, on Thursday last, with a suberb sword,
costing $9OO-the offering of citizens from
dollar subscriptions. Hon. GEO. LUNT was
delegated to transmit the testimonial. In
doing so he said the occasion was not in
tended to be formal, and that therefore he
should proceed at once to read a letter
which had been prepared, In accepting
the splendid gift, Gen. MCCLELLAN, with
much feeling, spoke as follows -
accept this, Mr. Chairman and gentlemen,
with something beyond the ordinary feelings of
pride and pleasure natural in such a case; it
adds one more to the many obligations to
which have become indebted to you since /
came among you, and it is an additional proof
of that regard and friendship which l believe is
entertained towards me here. Accept my sin
cere thanks, and believe it shall never be used
except in the cause of justice and of right.
Mr.. Fiske, of the firm of Jordan, Marsh
q Co., then presented him with casket
of shell, inlaid with mother-of-pearl, and
finished with gold, containing a list of the
subscribers to the sword.
The sword is probably the finest that has
ever before been made in the country.
The handle represents mass OF laurel
leaves, girt round with three rows of fine
pearls. The guard is in the shape of shell,
richly chased and raised. From the guard
branch of laurel starts, which is set with
pearls and unites it to the top. The latter
is surmounted by large diamond of the
first water, weighing three carats, and val
ued at $500. The scabbard is very massive,
and has three richly chased tips. The
upper one represents two recording angels
with the scroll of fame. The centre has
cherubs with wreath of flowers, American
shield, munitions of war, &C., &c. The
lower tip represents the Goddess of Lib
erty. All these mountings are in high re-
lief richly chased, and are very artistic.

Reflections upon Gen. Banks.

The New Orleans correspondent of the
New York Ecpress says the letters in the
New York Times casting reflections upon
the Administration of Gen. BANKS are
untrue in every particular. Since the adj
vent of the new regime great changes
have occurred there You see ten people
in the streets now where one was seen a
month ago. Business is improving, and a
general turn for the better seems to have
occurred 1t is said that Gen. HAMILToN's
business in Washington is to complain OF
Gen. BANKS, against whom he is very Bit
ter. He says BANKS would not give him
troops for Texas and was generally DISC
bodient to his wishes. The radicals will
never forgive Gen. BANKS for being a
friend of Gen. MCCLELLAN.

Showing the White Feather.

The Albany Journal makes a text OF
the Tlibune;s declaration that, if three
months more of fighting shall not end the
rebellion, ''let us bow to our destiny, and
make the best attainable peace and
says
If affording laid and comfort to the enemy
is treason, this can be nothing less. Assure the
rebels that this humiliating avowal of the Irs-
bune is the sentiment of the people of the North,
and they would be stimulated to the most her
culean efforts to prevent any decisive action
during the next 'three months" Is

Gates something worse than fear. The ante

In spite of the accumulation of evidence

really trying to suppress the REBELLION and
restore the Union.

Political Epithets.

Many Of our destructive contemporaries,
seemingly conscious of the weakness OF
their position, have abandoned argument
for opprobrious epithets. The Chicago
Tribane-a newspaper of high character
in none of its departments-is the fruitful
source of the nonsensical nicknames adopted
by the lesser luminaries which revolve
around it. The Tribune shrieks cooper
head" Then the St. Paul Press echoes
"copperhead. Then the Union cries
copperhead" from its weak throat, and
of course it IS a sort of "military neces-
sity &" that all the little radical papers of
the State should follow suit.

The CessiOn of Douglas County. w is
cOnsin, to Minnesota.

Our readers will remember that the me-
mortal from the Legislature Of Minnesota
to the State OF Wisconsin, passed the
House, was read the second time in the
Senate, and, On motion of Senator SMITH,
of this city, was referred, nearly week
ago, to the Committee on State Affairs, in
whose hands it still remains.
The memorial provides for the appoint
ment of Commissioner, by whose hands
it shall be borne to the authorities OF Wis
consin. This course is the usual one be-
tween independent iCommonwealths, and
is the proper one to be pursued in the
present case. The mere passage of the
memorial, and the transmission of it by
mail, would show want of earnestness on
our part, and want of respect for our
sister State, which, together, would be apt
to prove fatal to the end we wish to at
tain.
Douglas County is of great Importance
to Minnesota, and Of very little conse-
quence to Wisconsin. Without it, we have
no port on Lake Superior; while Wisconsin
could very we'll give it. to us, as she would
still retain the best port on the Lake, in
Bayfield,, and one more conveniently stu
ated for the purposes of her people.
This matter of fcession by one State to
another, is not without precedent. AS we
recollect, New York ceded to Pennsylvania
the harbor of Erie, to give the latter port
on the Lakes; and, we believe that Wis
consin, our mother State, will do US like
service, if we apply in proper manner.
We trust, therefore, that this important
memorial will be dispatched at once, with
the Commissioner, to Madison.

The Last Hope of the Radicals.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
concludes an article on the bill for arming
the negroes as follows:
But there is one thing that it will not answer
for the party in power to forget, which is that
this experiment necessarily limits their oppOr-
tunity to save the Union. They are therefore
under the strongest motives to make the negro
army success. If 1t .fnls there uiMb be "othing
to,. Them to fill back upon, a'ad they maH be o5hged
either to resign the Government to the Democrats
and let them t,y to sare the Union IN their acay, or
else to acknowledge the independence Of the Con-
feeracy and make the best terms possible NTH the
rebel leaders, They have hazarded all upon this
last and only venture-let them do their utmost
to succeed in it, or the future offers them moth
ing but destruction and dishonor.
The humiliating confession is made in
Yesterdays Press that the national cause
is lost without the aid of the wretched,
ebony, thick-lipped, tiat-nosed, woolley-
headed negro!" This is significant adj
mission, showing how little hope the
Administration has of suppressing the re-
bellion, or restoring the Union. The case
stands thus: The Administration having
confessed it's inability to bring the war to
successful conclusion with white soldiers,
has staked its all upon the negro recruits
which are expected to swarm to the aid OF
the Abolitionists As our Springfield con-
temporary says, if the scheme fails, the
party in power will be obliged to resign
the Government to the Democrats, or else
acknowledge the independence of the
Southern Confederacy. This is narrowing
the issue down to point which every man
can understand. If the negro fails to res
cue the Administration party, the party is
ruined irretriveably. The cry of the Abo-
litionists is Help us. darkey, or we sink. ,

a Wonder of the Telegraph.

On the 9TH inst, at San Francisco, the
Pacific Telegraph Company adopted a
memorial to Congress against the with
drawal of the telegraph subsidy, making
two pages of printed matter, which was
telegraphed to Washington the same day,
presented to the Senate, and ordered to
lie on the table and be printed, and was
the same day acted upon by the Leglsla-
ture of California! At the rate OF pro-
gress we are now making, a 'girdle round
the earth in forty minutes" will soon be
considered slow time.

THE WEEKLY PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT.



Tn the House of Representatives, or
Saturday, Mr.. PORTER, from the joint
committee on Indian Affairs, introduced 8
joint resolution, looking towards the call
ing out of the State Militia, for additional
protection to the frontier, and to the re-
moval of the Indians from the Southwest
ern and Western part of the State, before
the LIST of July next, if Congress makes no
provision therefor.
The citizens of the interior part of the
State have no idea of the feeling of inse-
curity in the border counties and the dan
ger is that our State authorities, not un-
derstanding fully the feeling of the people,
will do nothing until spring opens and the
stampede commences from the State.
We are informed by Messrs. PORTER
and W1swELL, the Representatives from
Blue Earth County, that they are receiv-
ing letters daily from prominent citizens,
and all to the same effect, that the county
will be depopulated in the spring, unless
speedy protection is sent to the border !;
and as pertinent to this subject, and a
sample of the letters sent these gentlemen,
we copy the following paragraphs from a
private letter of a prominent lawyer in
Mankato, received yesterday:
find our whole frontier is likely to be aban-
dOned with the opening Of Spring. 1 heard
nothing of it until about three weeks ago.
have made pretty diligent inquiry, and have
not found one single man that does not intend
to leave with his family as soon as Spring
opens. 1 have found two or three who talk of
trying to stay themselves, but if something is
not speedily done you may look for greater
rush of emigration from the State than you
ever saw to it. About this there can be no mis-
take, unless the people are made to feel that
they will be protected, and when sufficient
force shall be marching into the Indian coun-
try. All feel that there is not now enough SOL
diers to leave a sufficient guard to the border.
At all events, something must be cone or our
county is as completely used up as Brown. 1
hope some action will be taken to remove the
Indians by the State in case the General Gov
eminent fails. This is as essential to feeling
OF security as that of more troops.
Ihave never been so much discouraged about
our local prospects. 1t is no use to say to the
people that there is no danger. They point to
the number of troops in the State; and which
they admit it is sufficient to meet the Indian
force, yet it is only sufficient, and none can be
left to protect us from marauders, and they are
right. have been utterly astonished that
troops have been allowed to leave the State, YET
it has been done, and if the Legislature does
not interfere, 1 fear disastrous consequences.
We think the Legislature cannot toe
soon adopt such measures as will tend to
allay the fears of citizens in the border
counties.
