Waste of Powder.

General GRANT and Adjutant General
THOMAS do not appear to estimate Cover
nor YATES, of Illinois, in an enthusiastic
point of view The Governor, in his visit
ing tour to the camps of the Illinois SOL
diers, arrived at Carthage (below the
Nicksburg batteries.) General MCCLEE-
NAND, whose corps was stationed there,
thought it proper to receive his distin-
guished guest with becoming ecla, and
accordingly ordered salute to be fired on
his arrival General GRANT sent to know
what all that shooting was about, and
upon learning the cause, disapproved the
act as ,raste Of pouder-(every pound
of which had to be run by the enemy's
batteries.) General THOMAS also waxed
very indignant, and spoke of ordering
General MCCLERNAND under arrest. These
officers manifestly do not think the Gov
ernor of Illinois is "worth the powder"

Extraordinary Case of Suicide.

The New York papers have long &C
counts of the suicide, 10y shooting, of a
Frenchman named EDMUND BARRON, at
the Metropolitan Hotel on Wednesday
last He was once millionaire but re-
verse of fortune reduced his income to
such low figure that he was obliged to
emigrate to this country for the purpose of
making livelihood. He arrived in New
York about two years ago, and by means
of little money which he had managed
to save from his creditors in Paris he con-
trived to live in comfortable circumstances.
The loss of his fortune preyed upon his
mind day and night, however, and finally
drove him to despair.
case, perhaps, is will, left by the de-
ceased, bequeathing his body to Doctor
Weisse, with the request that the skeleton
should be nicely set and placed some
where in his office. The document is
rather singular production, and runs as
follows:
/ hereby bequeath my body to my talented,
and some day or other illustrious friend, DIR. f.
Dunkin Weisse, of No. 80 West Fifteenth
street, New York, requesting him to set up my
skeleton nicely, and to place it somewhere in
his office. The best means could suggest to
effect it properly are the following: TO take
the flesh Off the bones with q knife as much as
possible; to cut small piece off the skull
with trepan, and pull the brain out; to
pierce holes in the shaft of every long bone
with a small gimlet so as to let the marrow
run out which will greatly improve the white
ness; to let it macerate in water a long while,
till all soft and cartilaginous parts come off
easily, and let it perfectly dry; then to soak it
in solution of magnesia Cor q lat de chduse),
and when dry to rub it all over with slicate of
potash, and ultimately to set it up with wire.
/ will consider the fulfllment of the above re-
quest as a special favor. 1t will be so nice to
see ones old dwelling place kept so clean and
in good order, instead of rotting away in some
dirty place. How handy, too when we are all
summoned to the Valley of Jehosaphat, to find
ones bones already together instead OF having
to struggle among a crowd, and to pick them
ND one by one in some charnel house. Should
my learned friend fail to comply with my re-
Quest, will certainly come back and pull his
hair out by the roots, provided that they give
Inc furlOugh. And now, with my love TO
E, goodbye.

Newspaper Pests.

Somewhere about the 18th of May,
Somebody at St. Anthony fired cannon,
which another Somebody interpreted as a
gloriication, with powder, over the defeat
of HOOKER The last named Somebody
vented his suspicious and Indignation
through the Press, of this city. Where
upon Mr. D. EDWARDS, of St. Anthony,
sent us a long and silly communication,
badly written and execrably spelled, with
a request that it should be inserted as
matter of Justice to the parties who fired
the cannon. On the strength of this COM
munication we corrected the erroneous
statement of the Press correspondent.
This, however, was unsatisfactory to Mr..
EDWARDS. He had written over large
amount of foolscap, and had a special am
bition to read his lucubratiOns in print.
So, when it failed to appear, he sent us
the following letter of complaint, which
we insert in all its manuscript beauty and
force:

Our readers, we know, will never par
don us for depriving them of the rich in

But, for their consolation, we can assure
them that the above letter, in matter and
style, is a fair counterpart of it, in every
thing but its length.

TO the Editor of the Pioneer:

article that appeared in the st. Paul Press on
the 18th, which you declined to publish on &C

On the 18th, another article appeared in the

in this place.

The Whole Story.

The cause of our invariable i'll success in
the military operations under the immed
ate eye of the government has been the
fruitful subject of conjecture. The inva-
riable success in western operations where
the Generals have acted on their Gown
hook" has also been as generally noticed.
Why success should follow our armies IN
one section and not in the other, is a mat
ter upon which people will have their
opinions. Our own opinion we find so adj
mirably expressed in the Rochester On. W
Union, that we copy what that paper says,
endorsing every word of it. The Union
says:
But the primary cause of all-the root of the
fatal evil, lies at Washington. No great move
ments ever took place without organization,
and no organization ever lived and had
Wholesome and successful being without

bellion has progressed two wears. Washing

The head of Washington is Lincoln. civilian:
the head OF Richmond is Davis a soldier.
Criticise as we will and say what we NAV about
subordinate men and matter, resources of COM
batants, &C., this war of two wears has been
fought by Mr.. Lincoln on the one side and
Davis on the other. We have had Scott.

our sword, but Mr.. Lincoln has himself or he
has permitted Cameron, a Stanton, a Com

other interfering power, to direct its point.

Republican, by Rev. F. A. CoLwELL,
Chaplain of the First Minnesota regiment,
we extract the following:
My object is to report the state of our own

is true, that regiments all around us have
buried from twenty to fifty, and some seventy,
while we have lost but single man by death
for over eight months. We have passed through
the late fight, and our regiment, although I'M
der severe fire at short range, and we furnished
twenty-five men to advance on boats, storm

all on the 10Th of July Of the succeed
Il year received his commission of
iull second lieutenant in that same regi-
ment In July, 1854, he was promoted to a
First Lieutenancy, and six months later
was appointed Aid to Major Gen. Wool,
Chief of the Eastern Department In the
following March he was promoted to a
Captaincy of the Second Cavalry. In 1861
he ranked No. in the list of Captains,

General Stone.

This officer has been assigned to duty
in the Department of the Gulf, and will
soon leave for that field of service. So
ends, BY public confession, says the New
York World, nearly the, most shameful
injustice which the administration has per-
petuated against any individual. Arrested
without cause, imprisoned without trial,
shut out from the service to which he has
devoted his life and to which the country
owes the safety of its capital, disgraced in
'he eyes of the whole country when
Worry only of honor, and in spite of the
repeated protests and appeals of his COM
mander for his trial, Gen. STONE at last
receives tardy justice.

An Ardent SqueeZcr.

The Cleveland Hera!d says of Rev. Mr..
HAGER of the Episcopal Church in Chica-
go, who has been on trial before an eccle-
sastical court at Peoria for conducting i'm
properly towards some ladies, that the
trial seems to be a perfect Little Pedling-
ton affair, and is bringing great scandal
and ridicule upon the church, and society
LoCKE-who was called for the defence,
testified to q habit the Rev Mr.. HAGER
seemed to have, as follows:
In my own case, Mr.. Hagcr always squeezed
my hand unpleasantly close, and so as to cause
pain. My wife remarked to me once that he
was very ardent squeezer and | think that is
a matter of general remark
