No State has suffered so much from the
desolation and horrors of war, yet
none is more thoroughly loyal. When
the news of the dreadful "Indian
Massacre" was received how natural
for those brave soldiers, who were
separated from their homes by more
than thousand miles, patiently wait
ing for the "On to Richmond" to de-
sire to return to Minnesota and defend their
loved ones from the barbarities of their
savage foe. But they murmured not, and
still are waiting for the "On to Richmond. -
Although Minnesota is farther removed
from what is supposed to he the heart OF
the Washington-than any other
State-California excepted-there is no
member which is more vigorous and pat
riotic. Possibly the political views which
mingles with the "vitalizing element" at
the heart, is neutralized in its long passage,
so that this extreme member is really
more healthful than any other. When the
tumult of war shall have ceased, and we
are permitted to view the great "war
drama with calmness and accuracy
surely no State will be entitled to more
sympathy and honor from grateful millions
than Minnesota. If it shall be true of the

CAMPS AND CAMPERS.

people and the people to the army.
CAMPS AND CAMPERS.
Spite of all the annoyances, shOrtcom-
ings, want, squalor, hardship Of lite in
camp, there are some who are absolutely
contended in it who can come in mired
to the head, and in the wet and dirt of to-
day smoke the pipe of peace and happi-
ness. Neither damp, nor dyspepsia, nor
filth, nor fatigue can disturb that flow of
animal spirits which, if not imbibed from
their much loved horses, is very much like
it. Without books, paper, music, art, wo-
man, all that is lovely or sublime in the
world, they still thrive like the sauroid
from the very rudeness of the earth. Their
resources are few, but intense. They
smoke, drink, recite and listen to coarse
stories, and indulge in badinage and games
when not on duty.
This Is not very attractive picture for
the refined man or the refined woman. 1t
is the inevitable decentralization Of camp
life, not necessary, but concomitant with
war in all armies and at all times.
Closely connected with the army, at its
heels and in it's midst, is drawn that pro-
miscuous crowd of camp followers, cormo-
rants, spectators, sharpers, Jews, and
abandoned men and women. The amount
of vice and social leprosy, which is congre-
gated in and about Memphis is something
appalling to contemplate. 1t spawns on
every square. 1t flaunts in gaudy, tawdry
rags at the hotels, upon the steamboats,, in
private houses, and in the camps them
selves.
The thirteen millions of the paymasters
has recently added to this flock. Giddy,
thoughtless, heartless women, wives pur-
suing with more than classic fury their
prosecuted husbands even to the verge of
battle; putative wives and lost angels,
who may be beyond the scope of sympa-
thy, but not beyond the reach of our char
ity, all mingling in this mad, giddy dance
of death.
'"When lovely woman stoops to folly"
she stoops so low as to be beyond the pale
of hope almost. A few such we have here,
the complementary of their counterparts
in cloth. Poor creatures all, who are hav-
ing what is in their language called, "a
high time"
There is another side to this in the ar
my, and one we willingly turn to. Pain,
death and disease are in our hospitals,
armed with all the fevers and contagious
in the catalogue. Heroic and blessed
women and men are fighting the arch enc
my with earnest purpose and unfagging
spirit. Sympathy, Kindness, duty, reli-
gion and science are their weapons, and
they are winning noble victories. Thrice
blessed spirits, the salt of the earth. These
are sufficient to redeem the fame of fallen
humanity. Spectacles these which cannot
but make the angels envy, and which can
not but bring tears of compassion to the
eyes Of every true soldier.

Real estate in this city and vicinity is
much sought after at the present time, and
is steadily advancing in value. The COM
ing season will be one of great activity
here, in building and other improvements,
judging from the present indications.
Scarcely an eligible dwelling house is to
be rented in town, and every building that
is capable of being converted into store,
shop or warehouse is already engaged for
the spring and summer trade. Real estate
that was on sale at nominal prices in 1862,
acquired cash value at the opening of
the year, and has already risen in price
and will continue to do so steadily at an
average advance of full five per cent. per
month. We have been advised of many
sales within the last few weeks, and shall
endeavor to keep our readers posted here
after. Will our friends be kind enough to
inform us of every sale that comes within
their knowledge as well as any contempla-
ted Improvement in the way of building in
this city or county.

of Public Instruction we gather the fol-
lowing additional interesting facts, show
ing the present defective working of the
Common School System in this State and
the wide field open for improvement in
the future.
We find that of the whole number of
persons in the State between the ages Of
five and twenty-one years, only abut one
half Of that number attend school at all
during the year; while those who do at
tend school are in attendance on an aver
age, but about one half of the time school
is actually taught.

The wheat market this winter las been
quite brisk, although, as general thing,
the travel has not been good. The prices
have been exceedingly variable, depending
on circumstances, but principally on the
rise and fall of gold. At one time, it was
selling at one dollar per bushel The av-
erage, however, has been from eighty-fve
to ninety cents. We have endeavored to
collect the amounts now in store from the
principal dealers, which have been given
us as follows:

There are seven stone SchOOlhOuseS in
the State, three of brick, and about three
hundred frame houses and about the
same number of log schoolhouses.
The above facts are suggestive of the
necessity of thorough reform in our school
system, and as the prospects are now for
an increased demand OF lands in this State
and at advanced prices, we earnestly hope
soon to have school fund arising from
sales and rents Of our School Lands which
will sustain our schools without burthen-
some taxation and afford such renumera-
tive wages to teachers that we can employ
the best the country affords; in which
event the system will gradually reform it.
