Settlers Returning to the Upper Min.
nesOta Valley.

On petition of large number of resi-
dents of Renville county, Gov. MILLER has
appointed S. A. GEORGE, JOHN MOORE and
D1M1RIoK FEDERER, Commissioners of that
county, which was, it is said, entirely de-
populated by the Indian war in 1862.
Since that time many of the settlers have
returned to their farms and many new i'm
migrants have established themselves there,
so that county organization has again
become necessary.

Wanted...S0methin for Republicans
to Fire At.

Our Republican opponents, before the
Chicago nominations, having nothing to
say in favor of their own candidates, told
the people to wait till the Democratic Con-
vention had met and given them some
thing to fire at, and then they would COM
mence the political campaign in earnest.
The Chicago Convention has met, adopted
q platform and nominated candidates, and
our Republican friends are busted in blaz-
ing away with blank cartridges at targets
visible only their excited imaginations A
part of the time they turn their volleys
upon the mythical peace-at-any-price par
ty, or assail a fancied rebelious organiza-
ton in Northern States, day after day
seeing and hearing strange sights and
sounds of mystical import, till some Of
the valiant political warriors, like our un-
fortunate neighbor of the Press, actually
90 crazy and rave in their delusion, with
out cessation, of the horrible visions i'm
pressed upon their wandering minds.
The Eastern wing of the Republican
force is Just now combating an illusOry
project of an armistice with the rebels
which shall give the South full opportunity
to recruit their armies and treasury while
the North wastes its powers ard monies
in idle waiting. As no Democrat, much
less the Democratic party, advocates such
a suicidal measure, what are the Admins
tration folks firing at, unless they fear the
growing treason to our nationality in their
own ranks, or are madly firing at the
empty air.
Wouldn't it be great blessing to the
sorely afflicted Republican party, if some
man, falsely claiming to be a Democrat,
should come out and boldly advocate Sc
cessionp 1t would be almost as useful to
them as the cunning help they are getting
from the rebel papers!
In their fright at the phantoms Of their
diseased minds, the administration parti-
Fans are committing the mistake of over
loading their guns, and consequently suffer
themselves from the recOil. Witness their
base SANDERS of MCCLELLAN, that are max
ing him hosts of friends every day.

Democratic Convention.

The Democratic Convention held Sept,
9th, was the largest and most respect.
able in character of any that has been held
since the memorable campaign of 1860.
The delegates seemed to be animated by
that enthusiasm which is the surest guar
antee of their firm faith in Democratic
principles, as well as the brightest har-
binger of success.
Hon. A. G. CHATF1RLD, of Scott county,
was nominated as Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court; and Hon. ELI 7. WILDER,
of Goodhue county, and Hon. EDWARD O.
HAMLN, of Stearns county, as Associate
Justices.
he Presidential electors nominated
were CHARLES HARK1Ns, WILLIAM j. CUL-
LEN, E. ST.. JULIAN Cox and W. L. BRAoK-
INRIDGK.
After the adjournment of the State
Convention, the delegates to the Second
District Congressional Convention assem-
bled, and after an animated contest placed
in nomination fer Congress Hon. JOHN NJ.
GILMAN, of Ramsey county.
Whatever mry have been the original
preferences of the delegates, the nomina-
tons were acquiesced in by all with the
utmost harmony and good feeling, and
made the unanimous choice of the Con-
ventions If the same spirit and devotion
to principle prevails among the masses, the
election of the whole ticket is certain.

steamers Fired On,

Every mail brings new reports of steam
ers along the Lower Mississippi being fired
on by rebels. The Mississippi States are
nominally under our flag, but it would re-
suire larger army than we have now in
the field to restore and maintain good or
der there, unless we can win the people
back to their old allegiance. s'.''

The Rebel Soldiers.

A correspondent, writing from Mobile
Bay, says:
1t has been repeatedly said by deserters and
sensation itemizers that the garrison of Fort
Morgan was in a state of mutiny; that many of
the men were in irons for refusing to do duty
that they were tired of the war and anxious to
escape from the rebel service. There is no
truth in such stories. have conversed with
many of the prisoners, and find that their faith
convinced that when the chance is given them
a large majority will fight bravely and well for
what they conceive to be their violated rights.
Learn them that their rights are not en-
dangered by the Union, and these same
soldiers may then have less faith in their
confederacy.

The Maine Elections.

Partial returns and anticipations of Re-
publican gains come from Maine by tele-
graph to-day. 1t will be well enough to
wait until full returns are given, and wise
to bear in mind that the newspaper dis
patches are almost completely controlled
by Republicans, who will, of course, send
the most favorable reports of their side.
The following are the tickets that were
run in Maine:
