PardOned.

Governor MILLER has pardoned JOHN
HOWARD, convicted in this county in 1862,
and sentenced to the State Prison for six
years, for robbery while armed with a
dangerous weapon, with intent, if resisted,
to MAIN and kill the person robbed, etc.
The petition for pardon was signed by
many influential persons. The warden
of the State Prison states that he has con-
Quoted himself during bis imprisonment
with propriety, and Mr.. GRACE, Deputy
Sheriff of this county, says HOWARD was
the means of preventing the murder OF one
of the turkeys while he was confined in
our jail These reasons would seem to be
sufficient to justify the remission of the
unexpired term of his sentence. But a
further inducement was offered to the
Governor, for the exercise Of his Glenn
ency, by lawyer of this city, who prom
ised that ho would get Howard to enlist
in the Union army. We trust he will not
fulfil his promise. Our brave soldiers do
not want to associate with convicted rob-
bers, even if they do behave with propriety
while in prison.

EHttcr Bands Of Sioux Profess q
Desire for Peace.

We learn that letters have been received
from Father ANDRE, at St. Joseph, by
General SIBLEY, enclosing communications
from several of the Sioux chiefs, who pro.
fess ar earnest desire for peace, but who
decline to commit themselves fully until
they have had general consultation with
the other bands on the Missouri. Father
ANDRE states that since the expedition of
General SHELLEY last summer, the upper
bands OF Sioux have entirely changed their
views with regard to their ability to fight
against American troops. A year since
they were audacious and defiant, Boosting
that one of their warriors was more
than match for ten Americans, and could
easily beat out their brains with toma-
hawk. Since, for the first time, they met
the American troops in battle, they have
discovered their powerlessness in the field
against a disciplined force, and they very
much deprecate another visitation of like
kind.
Father ANDRE has addressed an earnest
appeal to the several chiefs of the Sioux
bands, to save themselves from speedy de-
struction by full and early submission to
the government. What effect it will have
upon the wild warriors to whom it is adj
dressed, remains to be seen.

General POpe'spCOm muntcatiOn.

The notice given by Gen. POPE to Idaho
emigrants, of the Indian force they will
have to encounter on the Upper Missouri
route, will be likely to turn many to the
safer route through Nebraska, during the
ensuing season. 1t does not appear that
any military protection is to be afforded
beyond the Missouri, excepting incident
ally, through Gen. SULLYs offensive move
ments against the Indians 1t is there
fore recommended to emigrants to con-
ceutrate at some point on the river, above
Fort Randall, in sufficient numbers to
protect themselves on their journey
Emigrants through Minnesota will be
protected by large cavalry force to a
point on the Missouri, about twenty miles
south of the place where the Indians were
driven across last season by Gen. SBLEY,
which is nearly due west from Fort Aber-
crolnbie. This force will set out from
Minnesota as early as possible in the
Spring.
AS an appropriation has been made for
a government expedition to start from
Fort Abercrombie in the spring, for the
single purpose of protecting emigrants, it
is presumed that it will be of sufficient
magnitude to accomplish the object, and
that it will have the cooperation of our
regular military force, as far as possible
without interfering with the grand object
of pursuing and fighting the Indians.

The Press endeavors to depreciate the
important franchise now in possession of
the Minnesota Valley Railroad Company,
by connecting it with, and making its val
ne entirely dependent upon, the success OF
the lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad
Company in getting grant of lands,
without which, the Press says:
The Minnesota Valley Road would be de-
cidedly Improbable. useless and unmeaning
investment.
Not a bushel of grain or dollars worth of
goods would ever come or 60 over that road in
competition with the WinOna and st. Peter
road, unless we first furnish it an outlet to
Lake Superior.
The two projects must stand or fall together.
and both depend for their success upon one
event, the passage of the bill now before the
National House of Representatives granting
lands to aid in the construction of the Lake
Superior and Mississippi Railroad.
We believe the Minnesota Valley Com
pany will not feel particularly indebted to
the Press for publishing such an incorrect
statement of the conditions precedent upon
which the success of their enterprise de-
ponds. The Company undoubtedly places
just estimate on prospective connection
with Lake Superior, but they will not con-
slider their investment Improbable, use
less and unmeaning," should Congress re-
fuse grant Of lands to the Company
named by the Press In short, the
Valley Company "stands on its own
bottom" which is quite as broad
and solid, as that which supports the "air
line" to Superior. 1t has Immigrant
that will build the road and stock it, and
passes through country that will afford
a local business of infinitely greater
amount than any Superior road can hope
to acquire for quarter of a century at
least. There can be no competition be-
tween this road and the Winona road, for
more than fifty miles from St. Paul, at
least.

Hon. THOMAS CLARK, editor of the Lake
Superior Gazette, and gentleman who
possesses a vast amount of geological
knowledge relating to this State, makes
the following remarks on the recent dis
covery of coal on the Cottonwood river:
1t is with no surprise that we learn that coal
is discovered in Minnesota. The geological
exposures of the western half of that State, to-
gether with what we had learned long since.
convinced us that labor in shafting in proper
localities, would not be fruitless. In the win.
ter of 1S59-6O, the Hon. Messrs Evans, of Blue
Earth, and Hodges, of Olmsted, Senators of
the Minnesota legislature, gave information
which convinced all enquiring minds of the
necessity of geological survey of the Blue
Earth and Minnesota river valleys. The same
carbOniferOus exposures, more or less covered
by drift, have been found by explorers extend
ing from Iowa to the Lake of the Woods.
Professor Owen, ever cautious in all his state
ments gives evidence of coal associations. in
his report on the Red River and St. Louis val.
leys and northern lakes, and from critical ex-
aminations made in railway SURVEYS. we are
more than satisfied that the shales and carbon
ferrous drifts in the valleys of the Upper Mis-
sissippi. Snake and Kettle rivers warrant the
conclusion that Minnesota contains the Goals
necessary for domestic use and in abundance
for the reduction other unbounded mineral re-
sources on the borders of this lake.

1t is said that the Secretary of War
has reversed the decision of the Provost

not filed their quota must stand the draft.

tricts raised more than enough surplus to
fill this deficiency.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10, 1864.
My DEAR SIR: Your kind note is just re-
ceived As it has been SO long on the way,
have telegraphed you that will reply by mail
At the instance of many who think that the
election to the Chief Magistracy, a commit
tee composed of prominent Senators and Rep
resentatves and citizens has been organized
here for taking measures to promote that OBJ
ject.
This Committee. through subcommittee,
has conferred with me. and have explained
to them the objections which seem to me to
exist against any use of my name in that con-
nectiOn. They have taken these objections
into consideration, and assure me that they
think ought not to refuse its USE and / have
consented to their wishes: assuring them,
however, that whenever any consideration, by
them. or by the friends of our cause, thought
entitled to weight, should indicate the expe-
diency of any other course, no considera-
tons of personal delieacy towards me should
be allowed to prevent its being taken.
If I know my own heart, desire nothing so
much as the suppression of this rebellion, and
the re-establishment of Union, order and pros
peritv on sure and safe foundations. And l
should despise myself if 1 felt capable of allow
ing any personal objects to influence me to
any action which would affect, by one jot or
title. injuriOusly. the accomplishment of those
objects. And it is source of real qualification

OF course under the circumstances. desire
the support of Ohio. If, however, it shall
be the pleasure of majority of our friends in
Ohio to indicate preference for another, I
shall ccept their action with that cheerful &C:
quiescence which is due from me to friends
who have trusted and honored me beyond any
claim or merit of mine.
Respectfully, your friend,

After the presentation of the flag was over,
