The drouth in Minnesota 10 terrible.
For six weeks there has been no rain.
Springlwheat is everywhers shrivsled
and yellowed by the burning sun, and
is prem aturely heading out few incbes
above the desiccated soil. Grass on the
burning prairies is parched to an su-
tumnal hue. Indian corn, alone, helds
up its head against the drought, and has
a vigorous and thrifty look. Winter
wheat also looks well. The rivers are
lower than ever known before. Even
the wells are getting dry. The same
drouth extends throughout Iowa and
over the ~h,le region west Of the Mis-
souri,. SO intense has it been in Min
nesota that Gen. Sihley's EXPEDITION can
not move. The whole country between
Fort Abercrombie and Pembina has
been burned over by prairie fires, and it
would be impossible to subsist animate,
or find sufficient water even for an emf
grant train.

the cause for few minutes, OF q most
frlgh,iul excitement. A large number
OF rockets of all sizes, were lying on thf
ground beneath the platform. when by
some mishap they caught fire. lmme-
distely they commenced to burst and Ia
shoot among the people. The tremend
GUS crowd ran 10 every direction, push
ing, screaming, trampling each other
down and making their way out Of the
Park as best they could. In three min
ntes, however, the thing was all over
and most of tho folks went back
No dangerous injuries were received

another still had bis head badly cut

Tas rsesidsnt has undoubsedly man.
things to answer tor, for which be ]
and should be held responsible. liiegs
and arbitrary arreats have in many cs's
Seen made BY political or personal enc
mics, and in many cases by over zcaloo
and partissn officials, which probsbl!
are not brought to the attention OF tn
President. Whist We object to 's, tina
the President claims the right in ever!
case to make arbitrary arrests in State
not even in rebellion, and where MARTA
law has not been declared. We venture
to say, that the American people vii
never tolerate this doctrine, nor VII
they ever permit either the President oil
any military commander to violate the
Constitution by abridging free speech
or free press. There is no ground for
debate, nor will the people debate the
question.
Undoubtedly military commanders DO
many acts for which the President IS not
70 blame. They may use their Official
position to wrong and outrage public
sentiment, to pillage and plumber and
speculate. The President is not re-
sponsible for this unless after the mat.
tiers are brought to bis attention he does
not repadiate their actions, except 50 far
- he may be responsible for appointing
weak, incompetent or lad men to OH
cial positions. In the conduct OF the
war there is scarcely AZ honest man but
that will coucede that the war ought to
be conducted on principles Of civilized
warfare, as praoticed By Christian ma
tions. A. rebels, We have right to
take their ives, but We have no l.cence
to murder. 1t wonld be unjust to oul
own men to expose them to retaliation
for acts Of barbarity.
1t seems that Montgomery and other
Of bis stripe in Florida leading Negro
brigade. have initiated asystem Of war
fare upon non combattants, women and
children, murder, arson and pillsge, that
ought to mantle the cheek Of every true
soldier with shame. 1t does not ad-
vance our cause at all on the contrary
it makes union more doubtful, it sub
ject. Us to the scorn Of Europe II de-
moralizes our own armies, and makes
the condition Of every negro taken ii
battle infinitely worse than death, and
subjects whi'e soldiers to punishment
by way Of retaliation, they would no
have to endure as prisoners of war.
We earnestly hope tho President WI
discountensnce this system of barbar
Gus and unciviIlzed warfa,e e. Posterit'
will be inclined to Judge Mr.. Liucol
with leniency tor any faults he may con
init il done with honest motives an,
with the sincere intention to preserv
the national life. But il, by his means
constitutional and civil liberty shall b
Lost, impartial history will consign hin
to infamy. If, ip addition, be shall
countenance war upon unotfcndin,
women and children and give up wome
to the indiscriminate lust Of an infur
ated African sodiery and finally to ma
sacre, then history will pause for word
with which to denounce the tyrant an
monster.
