Charleston.

The rumor in Tuesdays dispatches Of
the capture of Charleston, proves to have
been entirely unfounded. The Press was
a little too fast in saying that "the victori-
GUS cannon of HUNTER and Dupont send
up a salute of thunder to the old flag,
which waves in sympathetic victory over
Northern and Southern traitors;" and so
was Secretary FISK, in raising the atore-
said old flag over the Capitol in honor
of this Geographic victory. "Wait 4 little

JOINT RESOLUTION for the distribution of Ger.
H. tain public books and documents. 1s II
Resolred BIZ the Senate and House Of Represen-
taives of the United States of Amersca IN Congress
assembled, That the Secretary of the Interior,
and all other custodians thereof, be and are
hereby authOized and directed to cause equal
distribution to be made forthwith, among the
members of the two houses Of the present Con-
gress, of all books and documents heretofore
printed or purchased at the cost of the Govern
ment, and not actually belonging to any public
library, or the library kept for use in any de-
partment Of the Government excepting, how
ever all such books and documents as are en-
braced in any existing order for the distribution
thereof among the members of either House of
Congress.
Approved, March 8, 1868. ''i .i'"' ron " ,
The Journal Of Commerce says there
are now on hand several hundred thousand
dollars worth of books and publications of
various kinds. By this resolution each
member of the last Congress is to receive
from five to ten thousand dollars worth of
books. The decks are SWEET clean. Not
book is left on hand! Not only will
the rebel States be deprived Of any share
of public documents on their restoration
to peace and the. Union, but the Govern
ment will be unable to supply new States
and Territories with its standard publica-
tons, and the entire reserve of books and
publications now held by the Government
to supply future demands, at home and
abroad, down to the last sheet, whether
purchased or published by Government,
will be mercilessly sacrificed to the rapacity
of the members of the late Congress!
A more gross disregard of public right
was never recorded on the statute books
of a nation. AS public act, it is Van
dalisb, and for the purposes of private plum
der it is unequaled by any mileage or dis
tribution act on record

MES of the 22d Wisconsin Neutrality-suspicious.
600 men-who were guarding the Little
Harpeth bridge, at Brentwood Station,
about eight miles this side of Nashville,
thereby cutting off all our railroad commu-
nication with that city. Thus has been
nearly completed what was so disastrously
begun to our brigade at Spring Hill. 1t
will be remembered that our brigade-con-
sisting of the S5th Indiana, 22d Wiscon-
sin, and 10Th Michigan, was nearly all,
killed or captured in the battle at Spring
Hill, on the 9Th of this month. Lieuten-
ant Col. Bloodgood succeeded in saving
about one-half of his regiment in that bat
tie, and, with one company of the 10Th
Michigan, was detailed for duty at Brent
wood; and now this last bold stroke ofthe
rebels closes the military career of these
two regiments season, at least.

HEADQUARTERS DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA
DEPARTMENT OF THE NORTHWEST, y
ST PAUL, Minn April 4 1863
Very truly Yours,
B. B. MEEKER.

DEPARTMENT OF THE NORTHWEST, y
ST. PAUL, MIMI, April, 4, 1861
Hon. B. B. MEEKER, St. Anthony:
SIR In reply to your communication
of the 1st inst, beg leave to state that
the whole resources of the military author
tiles in this district will be used to protect
the frontier against any renewed incursions
on the part of the hostile Indians, and to
ensure the safety of the settlers. There
are already scouts posted at the more ex-
posed points, and there will be such dis
position made of the forces, which are not
embraced in the contemplated expedition,
as etfectually, hope, to prevent any raids
even if attempted. The programme has
not yet been completed, but the companies
of the 1st Minnesota Mounted Rangers
will be stationed as rapidly as they can be
fully equipped, in such positions as will en-
able the people safely to proceed with their
ordinary avocations. There are already,
as you are probably aware, companies of
infantry posted at intervals along the line,
where, in case of an attack by the Indians,
the latter would be warmly met and re-
pulsed. 1t is my intention to take the field
as soon as the season is sufficiently ad-
vanced to permit Of it, and, meanwhile, a
strict watch will be kept up, so that it will
be difficult for even small band of In
dams to make any hostile demonstration,
without being discovered and properly
chastised.
My impression is that there will be no
appearance of Sioux Indians On the frontier
during the spring, although threats have
been made by the bands congregated at
Devils Lake, that they would attack Fort
Abercrombie after the disappearance of
the snow in that region. l do not believe
they will attempt it. I have had CORES
pond1 hce for the past four months, with
we'll informed persons, resident ON the
British line, as well as others on the Mis-
souri, river, and am confident that none
of the bands who were concerned in the
horrible massacres of the last season are
even as near as Devils Lake. They fed to
point high up on the Missouri river, 25O
miles above Fort Pierre, before the clos
ing in of winter, and at the latest advice
they were still in that locality. A small
band of eight lodges have been the only
Sioux of whom traces could be found upon
any of the waters of the Minnesota river,
and they have fled in the direction of Big
Stone Lake, abandoning their dried meat
and furs, on discovering that party was
in search of them.
1t is highly important to the State, as
well as to the public service generally,
that the plains should be cleared effectual-
ly of the bands of savage robbers and MUIR
derers who infest them, and the apprehen-
sions of our citizens permanently quieted.
trust that this double object will be ac-
complished within the next six months.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
H. H. SIBLEY,
Brig. Gen. Commanding.

In publishing the order of Brigade

In publishing the order of Brigadier
General Darlington, upon assuming COM
mand of the government of the military
district of Indiana, the indianapolis Sen
tinel remarks:
This is new feature in the history of our
State. Never before has Indiana been placed
under military rule. 1t is dangerous delega-
ton ofpower. General Darlington is not am
enable to the civil power of the State. He is
above it. He is not responsible to the people
of Indiana for the discharge of the trust confid-
ed to him. He is an officer of the Federal
Government. He receives his orders from and
reports to the Federal military authorities; he
executes their will, and not the will OF the
people of his military department. In that re-
gard this new department in the Federal Gov
eminent overrides the sovereignty and indie
'pendence of the State.

Correspondence of the Buffalo Courier
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Ofiice seek
ers crowd the city. The CONSUMPTION law
providing for the appointment of some
eight or ten hundred officers with fair pay,
has caused grand rush amongst those,
who are the ''particular friends of Abra-

White House, one morning was there
early, the first one. / went to see an old
friend-Mr. Nicolay, the Private Secretary.
l was quite surprised to meet "Louis, ;"
the same "Louis' who has been there
so long-the usher. Well, in an hour
not less than fifty office-seekers were

Democratic Soldiers.

1t is suggested by gentleman who is
we'll posted, that the falling off in the ag-
gregate Democratic vote is owing to the
fact that of the quota of men raised by
this city last fall, under the call for six
hundred thousand men, about two thirds
were Democrats.

The City Election.

q The election Tuesday resulted in the
success eff the entire Democratic Ticket.
The contest was animated, but conducted
with remarkable good feeling on both
sides. Various causes tended to reduce
the usual majority for Mayor. The Re-
publican candidate was the most popular
man of the party, aud for "the good of
the cause" is reported to have disbursed
more literally than could have been ex-
pected, considering his slim chances for sue
cess. On the other hand the Democratic
candidate lost some votes from a class of
persons that were dissatisfied with his une-
quivocal loyalty, as shown in his remarks
on accepting the nomination. He said he
would ask no man to vote for him who did
not agree with him in sentiment on ma
tional affairs, and they took him at his
word. His success, under these circum-
stances, is handsome tribute to his worth.
The following are the officers elected:
Mayor-JOHN E. WARREN. 70
