GUS test oath to the lips of the patriotic
fathers and mothers of our brave boys,
who stood like wall of fire and of bayo-
nets between us and the enemies of our
country. More recently, when asked for
a writ of habeas corpus, he declined to
grant it for the reason that his mind was
made up, and it would entail unnecessary
expense on the appellant. This cores
pondence reveals the purpose of the Ad-
ministration to claim, and, if possible, to
exercise the right to conscript certain clas-
ses of State officials, and thereby to estab-
lish principle that might break up the
State Government and blot out its s0ver-
eighty. Its exercise was prevented only
by the firmness of Governor Vance in re-
sisting these dangerous encroachments
upon State rights.

Indena nifty for swamp Lands.

The subject of Indemnity for Swamp
Lands under the Acts of Congress of 1866
and 1857 seems to be misunderstood by
parties intesested, and claims involving
large amounts are made upon the General
Land Office. The points by which the ap-
plicants should be governed, and which
guide the Commissioner in his decision,
may be briefly stated. In 1866 an Act Of
Congress was passed confirming the origi-
nal locaters of swamp lands in their titles

Minnesota: s s biz
SIR-The enclosed circular embodies the
plan agreed upon with agents from several
States represented here, and it has been SUBJ
mitted to the Governors of all the States named
in II, for their concurrence.
1t is desirable to have as little delay as pos.
,sible in getting your reply, as the bodies OF our
soldiers are in many cases, so much exposed
as to require prompt attention, and the grounds
should be speedily arranged for their reception.
Pennsylvania has bought very suitable
piece Of ground on one of the most prominent
parts of the battle field, and his Excellency
Governor Curtin authorizes me to say to you,
that if your State desires q conveyance in fee
simple, of your burial ground in this cemetery,
Pennsylvania will make deed to you for it.
Otherwise she will hold the title in trust for
the purposes designated in the circular.
With great respect, 1 subscribe myself your
Excellency's obedient servant,
DAVID WILLS, Agent.

A Clerical Horse Thief.-.Letter from

To the Editor Of the Pioneer:
DEAR SIR desire, through the columns
of your paper, to correct any wrong i'm
pressions which may be made upon the
minds of your readers by. the following
poster, which has just been issued from
this town, and circulated in this and adj
joining States:
FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD!
Taken from the stable of the subscriber in
Faribault, Aug. 3d. a horse and buggy.
Said horse and buggy was hired byaOne Rev.A.
G. Smith, under the pretence of going to Man.
katO.
Said Smith is about So or 40 years of age, 6
feet inch in height sandy hair, &c. *
He is well known as Methodist Minister. 1t
is generally supposed he left in company with
a woman and little girl aged about three
years. Said woman is rather good looking,
about thirty years of age, with black hair and
eyes.
The above reward, will be paid, &c, &c.
s. G. RATHBONE.
FAR1BAULT, Aug. 10, 1868.
have quoted with one of the bills be-
fore me, taking so much as is necessary
to give statement of the case, and to
make the correction. 1t is well known
that Rev. CD A. G. Smith is not a Metho-
dist, and has no connection with the Meth
odist Church but it as well known that
he is a member of the Episcopal Church,
and candidate for the ministry in that
for the past (about) seven months. We
are quite willing to take all that belongs
to us, but when the church engages in
PROSECUTING, and happen to draw larger
prize than they wanted, We most respect
fully decline to take any share in the
hOnOrs.
Yours truly c. G. BOWDISH,
Pastor of the NJ. E. Church, Faribault, MINI.

"FRoM GREENLEAFs GRAPERY, WITH
COMPLIMENTS. That is all there was of
it, so far as the writing went. And that
was enough. For, underneath the note,
spread out on huge platter, lay clusters
of ripe grapes, delightful to the sight, and
luscious to the taste. They were grown
by D. G. GREEN1EAF, Esq, whose success
as florist and horticulturist is second to
none in our State. The varieties were, the
"Black july" the "Rose Ohasselas, " and
the " Chasselas de Fontaineblau, all early
and delicious. These were the first speci-
mems Of native-grown grapes we had seen
this season, and these were fully ripened.
