Massachusetts to be put ON a War
Footing.

A bill has been introduced into the Mas
sachusetts Legislature providing for putting
the State upon perfect war footing. By
its provisions the able-bodied male popula-
ton of the State from eighteen to twenty
four years of age, fremen and all, is
constituted the active rcilitia; and those
from twenty-four to forty-five are desig-
mated as the reserve. The former are to
be organized in three companies, and are
to drill or parade three days in each year,
one of these parades to be the usual May
training, and shall do camp duty for three
days, and drillby companies six hoursin each
month from May to November, and three
hours in each month for the balance OF the
year. Gall for active service shall first
apply to those from twenty to twenty
five years of age, next from twenty-five to
thirty, and next from thirty to thirty
five. Exemptions are based on the
French military system.

Gen. franklin VIndicatel.

We are glad to learn that Gen. FRANK
LIN, who is one of the ablest offices we
have, has been completely indicated from
the aspersions thrown upon him by the
radical journals subsequent to the battle of
Fredericksburg. The New York Times
publishes statement, altogether too long
for our columns of the conduct of Gen.
FRANKLIN at the battle of Fredericksburg,
in reply to an impeachment of it contained
in letter from the editor of the Times,
written at Washington on the Oath of Jan
uary. In that letter the statement was
unequivocally made that Gen. BURNSIDE
intended his main attack to be made by
our left wing, under Gen. FRANKLIN, and
that the battle was lost by Gen. FRANKLIN's
failure to make that attack, with the force
and vigor contemplated by his orders, and
which were essential to success. After
perusal of the orders and documents re-
ferred to above, Mr.. RAYMOND has the cam
dor to say: cit seems to us clear that
Gen. FRANKLIN not only performed all the
services enjoined upon him in his orders,
but that he did more than was contemplate
ed by them by pushing the attack upon
the enemy in his front. 1t is to be pre-
sumed that the Government does not con-
slider his conduct in that affair obnoxious to
censure, or it would have given him
Court of Inquiry; and if this is the case he
ought to be relieved from any implied GEN.
sure and placed in position where the
country can again have the benefit of his
unquestioned ability in the prosecution of
the war;"

The Richmond Enquirer of the 10Th
contains long article reviewing the stu
alton, calling upon the rebel government
to place every available man in the field !;
to revoke all furloughs, arrest summarily
all deserters, and to impress on the army
that there can be no peace, either from
the imperious DEGREES of King Cotton, for
eign mediation, or the Northwest. 1t at
tacks VALLANDIeHAM severely; declaring
that he has voted for war appropriations,
and will soon stand where JOHN VAN BU-
rem does; that, in fact, Union meetings
which are going on all over the North, give
the Federal administration six months
more to carry on the war. The Enquirer
then adds that the Confederates must fight
or submit; that the Confederate army
must be told that the Yankee enemy has
just commenced to fight, and that we, the
Confederates, are but in the middle of this
war, which, at the opening of the spring
and summer campaign, promises to be
more unrelenting and severe than any other
in the history Of war. The Richmond
journals contain numerous articles for an
increase of taxation, saying that it is de-
manded by the entire South.

The increase of Wealth Over POpn-
iatfOn.

Since this war commenced many faint
hearted people have been constantly pre-
dieting that the government never could
suppress the rebellion, not for lack Of SOL
diers, not that those soldiers were not as
brave as the rebels, but because the war,
if continued until the suppression Of the
rebellion should be accomplished would
create debt that never could be paid. 1t
is not surprising that many cake this view
of the case when they reflect upon the
enormous expenditure that this war is in
curing, but these timid ones need only
turn to the census reports to see how
groundless are their fears.
People are not generally aware how
much the increase of the wealth of this ma
ton exceeds that Of the population. The
increase of population from 1850 to 1860
was 1852 per cent and the increase of
property was 1879 per cent. AT this
rate the wealth of the nation would double
in about eight and half years.
During the last fifty years the growth of
the population of the United States has no
where exceeded 334 per cent, while prop
erty, in the same period has accumulated
$50 per cent.
With SUI ,h enormous increase in wealth,
this country, in a few years Of peace, can,
without materially retarding her pros
perity, pay the debt of this war, great as
it may be. ...--.

!. The new Chippewa treaty.

The telegraphic announcement of the
terms Of this treaty was incorrect in some
respects, particularly in regard tothe place
where the Indians are to reside hereafter.
A Washington letter to an eastern paper
states that by the terms of this treaty, the
Chippewa Indians in Minnesota, now set
tied around Gull Lake, on the southern
border Of Cass County, are to be removed
to the vicinity of Red Lake, about 100
miles further north, on the boundary line
between Polk and Pembina counties, and
at least $50 miles north of the present
outskirts of white settlement or civilization.
The country around there is a vast swampy
desert, containing but a very small propor-
ton of reclaimable lands. Red Lake is a
body of water about thirty seven miles long,
and sixteen miles in its greatest breadth.
In outline it resembles two lakes joined to-
gether by narrow strait of water. The
according to the authority above
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS some curious stipula-
tons. Among others, it provides that the
superintendent of these Indians shall be
entrusted to board composed of ministers
exclusively all white and married. This,
we suppose, is a prccaution against both
cupidity and the tendency to mix the races
which Indian agents have been so prone to
develop in their intercourse with the saw
age.
Before leaving Washington for their
homes, the chiefs comprising the mission
called upon the President, accompanied by
Senator RAMSEY and other Minnesotians,
to express their satisfaction at the happy
termination of their diplomatic efforts.
They were well received, and had "big
talk The President assured them of the
good will and protection of the Govern
ment as long as they deserved it, and they
promised good behavior in the future.

Third Minnesota Light Battery and
Its Commander.

Capt. JOHN JONES, and Lieut.. WH1ppLE
of Faribault, and Lieut.. HENDRICKS, of st.
Paul, are recruiting for the Third Mime
sofa Light Battery, which will be attached
to the expedition soon to start for the In
dian country. We desire to say word at
this time, particularly, in behalf of Capt.
JONES who has been commissioned by Gov.
RAMSEY as Captain of this battery He
was, until recently, Ordnance Sergeant of
the United States Army, and stationed at
Fort Ridgley, and by special order of the
Department was honorably discharged the
service in order to accept a higher position.
Capt. JONES entered the service in 1916,
and was connected with the Artillery arm
of the service until the year 1856, when he
was appointed Ordnance Sergeant, posi-
ton conferred only upon the highest testi-
monials for fidelity and ability.
He served in the Light Artillery through
out the Mexican war, and bore from the
field honorable scars and an honorable
name. All Minnesotians know how much
is due to the gallantry of this gentleman
for the safety Of Fort Ridgley. Our citi-
zens who sought refuge there during the
dark days Of the Sioux massacre, are all
witnesses to his judgment and great skill
as an Artillerist
His battery should be filed in day,
and we are sure that were his merits and
services brought before the pubic, as they
richly deserve, that our young men would
never hesitate to engage with gentleman
everyway competent to lead them, and
who is so much of soldier as to be I'M
willing to assume from others honors not
his Own.

Appointments from Minnesota.

In addition to the appointment of D. A.

in regard to the specific duties incumbent
on Mrs. Sw1ssHELM, in the prosecution of
the war, but can hail the appointment
az q partial fulfiment of Geographic
prophecy s'that the President and Score
fary STANTON are about to adopt vigorous

Major General N. j. II. Dana.

We are gratifed to announce that Gen.
DANA's nomination as Major. General was
confirmed by the Senate on the 9th inst
We had not seen his name in the published
lists of combinations, and were in doubt
in regard to his position, but a private
letter received by gentleman of this city
from the General himself, sets the matter
at rest. The appointment of two Major
Generals, VAN CLEvE and DANA, and
three Brigadier Generals, GoRMAN, SHELLEY,
and SUILY, (who halls from Minnesota,
is compliment to this State that will
be highly appreciated by all its citizens.

E.etter to Gov. Seymour, from TIA
Chief Justice Of Illinois.

The Chicago Post publishes long let
ter written by the Hon. J. D. CAToN, chief
Justice of the State of Illinois to Governor
HoRATIo SEYMOUR. The Judge points out
most clearly the duty as well as policy Of
the Democratic party. It is not by stop
ping the war, as proposed by the Chicago
Times, but by a continued effort on their
part to discharge all their constitutional
duties to the government. He condemns
many of the acts of the administration,
which are open to the free criticism of all
men, but he advises the Democratic party
to remain true to its patriotic support Of
the government, and thus afford place
where patriotic Republicans, Disguised
with the administration, may find compan-
ions and fellow-patriots, having no higher
or other aim than to save the country.

Rebel Governor Brown, of Georgia,
don't seem to have made much by seces-
sion, if we may credit the following growl
from his late message:
The Abolition Government at Washington
from which we seeded on account of its dis
regard for the violation of State rights--has
shown itself more attached to the rights of the
States, and more careful not to violate them
than our own Government, which had its very
origin in this great doctrine.

New York Legislature and the Gold
Question.

The New York Legislature seems deter
mined to put total extinguisheron specu-
lations in gold and bills Of exchange. By
the provisions of the following bill, it will
be seen that all gold held by banks, bank
ers, or other associations, on which money
has been loaned, will be forced on the
market, and it is no difficult matter to pre-
dict considerable fall in the price. Who
Will buy it? Dealers will not, for il pays
no interest; and the only class likely to
Invest are those who have no faith in the
Government, and hoard gold only as a
preventive of future poverty. Such, of
course, are largely in the minority just
now, and cannot have the least weight in
controlling the market Gold ought. con-
sequently, to sink to its level-125-
should no great disaster attend our armies.
