From the Winona Republican, June 3.
AT their session on Monday evening, the
members of the City Council of Winona,
IN Palpable violation of the trust confided
IN them by the citizens, deliberately voted
to place every interest of this community
ldentlfed with the public Levee, at the
mercy OF the WlnOna and st. Peter Rail-
road Company, by granting to the said
company the right of running their trains
down the entire length of Front street to
the eastern limit of the city.
This morning, st. Paul's church in this
city was consecrated to the worship of

From the Glencoe Register
SEVERAL families of emigrants have Wis
tied this county with a view of hunting
up homes, but we regret to say that in
most every instance they return to the
Minnesota river, being afraid to settle here
in consequence of anticipated Indian diff
culties. We almost dispair of any emigra-
ton this year. We trust by another sea-
son this internal and blighting Indian
trouble will be ended. Our little commu-
nifty cannot stand it much longer. We
still hope for the best.
WE regret to say that the whole of the

4 Sentence DisapprOved.

Much surprise has been excited in off,
cial circles (says Washington letter to the
New York T'id"ne) by the proceedings
OF a military commission in the army of
the Potomac, of which Gen. DANIEL E.
SICKLEs was President. The nature of
the three cases referred to is sufficiently
apparent from the charge and specifica-
ton in one of them, which are as follows:
CHARGE-Treason
SPEoIFICATION-In this. that James r. Oil
yer, being citizen of Maryland. was taken
prisoner while in arms in the ranks and uni
form OF the rebel army, at RappahannOck ford,
February %, 1868.
The accused pleaded guilty to the spec
ification, but not guilty to the charges.
The charges filed with the commission set
forth that in April, 1862, he went to Rich
mond, intending to make his home there,
and enlisted in the course of the same
month. Upon this state of facts the court
found the accused guilty of treason, and
sentenced him to be hanged
Gen. Hooker forwarded the proceed

dangerous heresies and terrible conse-

wholesale Lying.

The Abolition press has always had pecu-
liar genius for ialsehood, but lately it has
eclipsed It's entire previous record by the m0at
unblushng and outrageous lies, of which ever
pretending to the slightest responsibility have
been guilty.
The two last huge lies turned out OF the
mint, are that Quantrill and his men, while
numbering in l.awren ce, hurgahed for Vallan-
dgham, and that Vallandigham when in the
South advised stubborn resistance, and hold

Negro VaIOr,

On the subject of negro valor, the Buffalo
Courier is permitted TO publish the following
extract from private letter written by an
officer in the army before Charleston. The
bubble of negro soldiery seems in fair way
to collapse before it is fairly inflated. Even
the New York Times confesses that the "ne
gro, like the mule, lacks the highest military
qualities. This is the extract alluded to
above:
"General Gilmore was undoubtedly forced
into the assault upon Fort Wagner against
his better Judgement have great confidence
in him, and think from the way he is going to
work now that Charleston will certainly fall
1t will be slow but snre lie has set all the
negro soldiers at fatigue work, which is what
every other General ought to do The stories
about their splendid fighting are all in my
eye At the assault, they ran away as fast
as they could, and came near demoralizng
the whole attacking force. la an hour after
the fight commenced over thousand Of them
came struggling down the south end of the
Island, and before morning there were at the
hospital and dock over 800 of them, not hurt

soldiers at the dock, see the New York

nessee without having met with any resist

Annlher AhoIltion FI1zIe.

The Abolitionists Of this city made an
other attempt at grand political demon
stration at the Court House Saturday night.
Compared with the Democratic meetings
held at the same place last week, it was a
manihceut failure. The meeting was, per-
haps, some little larger than SHERMAS's,
but, in point of enthusiasm, was even a
more complete failure. Abolitionism is
dead, completely dead, in this city and
county, and all attempts to resuscitste and
gslvanize it will be labor lost on the part
of the few adhering "faithful." General
JosEPH GElGRR, addressed the mournful
gathering. His speech was of the most
radical Abolition kind, going as far, if not
farther, in his advocacy Of niggensm, as
WENDELL PHlLLrps or LLOYD GARRIsoN.
1t was too strong meat for the Dayton
Abolitionists. They are progressive, but
it was evident, from the manner in which
his remarks were received, that the rank
and file of the party here have not, as yet,
been educated up to the standard of negro
equality as presented and advocated by
the versatile GEIGER. We trust that the
managers will bring few more of ust
such speakers here before the dose of the
campaign, and have crowd that will at
least compare iavorably with township
meeting, out to hear them. 1t will tend
to open the eyes of their deluded followers,
