cept so far as practical lexpeTience shall

When the insurgents shall have dis

existing, including those which affect
slavery, will cease also, and all the
moral, economical, and political ques- :

whether they grew out of Il, will, by
force Of the Constitution, pass over to
the arbitrament OF courts Of law and
to the councils Of Legislation.
INDIVIDUAL STATES WOULD BE VEL
COINED BACK.
l am not unsophisticated enough
to expect that cohspirators, while yet
unsubdued, and exercising an nnre-
sisted despotism in the insurrectionary
States, will sue for or even accept IN
amnesty based on the surrender of the
power they have so recklessly usurp-
ed. Nevertheless, l know thatif any
such conspirator should tender his
submission upon such terms that he
will at once receive o candid hearing,
and an answer prompted purely by u
desire for peace, with the maintainance
of the Union. On the other hand, I
do expect propositions Of peace with a
restoration of the Union TO come, rot
from the Confederates in authority,
nor through them, but from citizens
and States under and behind them.
And I expect such propositions from
citizens and States TO come over the
Confederates in power, just SO fast as
those citizens and States shall be de-
livered by the Federal arms from the
usurpatien by which they are now op-
pressed. -.rr-sr-. -.r.....
All the world knows, that SO far as
| am concerned, and, l believe, SO far
as the President is concerned, all such
applications will receive just such an
answer as becomes great, magnani- ,
nous and humane people, TO grant to
brethren who have come back from
their waDderings to seek shelter in
the common ark Of our national secu-
rity and happiness. ...s.r
THE PROSPECT. -
The sun is setting, So surely as it
shall rise again, so surely d. think
that the great events we have now
celebrated prelude the end of our na-
tionaI troubles and the restoration of
the national authority, with peace,
prosperity and freedom throughout
the whole land, from the lakes to the
gulf, and from ocean to ocean.
And so bid you good night; and
may God have you, with our whole
country, always in His holy and
paternal keeping.
Enthusiastic chs ers were given at
the conclusion of the speech.

We are on q Georgia mob in siglt

that Copperhcads were the indirect

three long years to save the dear old

be in vain. The lives of dear ones
who have fallen on the bloody fields
will have been wantonly sacrificed
We arc all for peace and speedy
peace, but God forbid We should have
other than an honorable peace-a
peace that will ever honor our brave
comrades who have fallen. Such a
peace we are all ready to receive
Anything short Of an honorable peace

In answer to many inquiries we are re-
quested to state that the residence of vol
unteers in Hatch's Battalion and Second
Cavalry regiment, and also recruits for old
regiments since October, 1868, as given
in the muster rolls is conclusive on that
subject, whether the names are checked
or not. The Adjutant General has re-
oeived notice that 21S men of the Fourth
regiment have re-enlisted. He has also
received the names of IT'S additionafre
enlisted men id the Third regiment. These
names will be credited on the quota of the

At the request of Committee desire to call
The attention of the loyal men and women of
Minnesota to the Mississippi Valley Sanitary
Fair, to be held at Saint Louis, NO., on the
18th day of May next. Its worthy objects are
already we'll known to the public. The prob
abilities are that the Sanitary demands of our
selfsacrifciQg soldiers will be greater the COM
ing campaign than before In view of this,
patriotic men and women throughout all the
loyal States are putting forth their best efforts
to abundantly provide for the sick and wound
ed soldiers. Minnesota is cordially invited to
cooperate with her sister States of"the West
and send her contributions to this great fair,
by measures of which, it is hoped and believed
that FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS may
be raised. Minnesota troops are in the field
and will enjoy the fruits of this benifcence.
The Minnesota officers on duty in or near this
city, are about to call a meeting to take such
means as will insure the agitation of this be-
nevOlent enterprise in every village and neigh
borhOOd of our State. Let old Union Aid So
cieties be rcorganized, new ones formed and
committees appointed in every county to facil-
itate this noble work.
Minnesotians will be here, both ladies and
gentlemen, to take charge of whatever may
be forwarded, and arrangements will be made
so that all goods may be shipped, safe and
free, for the donors, to st. Louis, whether for
sale or exhibition.
Will the patriotic men and women of Min
nesota take hold of this noble work and bear
an honorable part in the greatest effort that
will be made during this great struggle to pro-
vide for the suffering victims of this remorse-
less war? J. H. BAKER.

There have been so many postpone

incredulous as to whether there will be a
draft on the 10th of March, but the above
seems to be settler for everybody. The
draft is inevitable, and those who are ex-
posed to it have had sufficient warning to
prepare themselves. There is time yet
for towns to fill their quotas. The govern
ment still offers the 500 bounty and pre-

Two Soldiers of the Second Cavalry
found Dead.

ST. PETER, Feb. q, 1864.
To The Editor If the Pioneer:
The bodies of two soldiers were found to-day
on the Fort road between this city and Fort
Ridgley. They were found by some soldiers
of the Sixth regiment on their way from the
Fort to this place, for loads of grain.
These men were of company NJ, Second
Minnesota Cavalry, and had received fur
Tough at Fort Smelling, and were on their road
home. They lived in the vicinity where they
were found dead, about one and half miles
1 O'Clock in the afternoon of the the 10th, ten
miles this way-they were walking along as
men should. Whether they were frozen, or
whether, from intoxication and cold combiued,
they met their fate, is vet to be revealed.
They were Germans, and were found some
had been touched or moved since first they fell
or laid down. The German, near whose house
they were found said he saw one of the bodies
wing there some five days before When
asked why he did not report it or care for it
he replied that he "had nothing to do with
soldiers" And today, when these men of the
Sixth stopped to care for and examine the
body of the one he had seen days before, they
found the body of the other, and also discov-
cred that the one he had seen, and which was
within thirty rods of his door, was his own
brother-in-law! And, without doubt, both of
the poor fellows were intending to reach his
house the night they met their sad fate.
How should such man be punished

Meteorological Notes for February.
1864. 81 vlu, t43i

The principal feature which marked the past
month. was the almost total absence of rain or
snow. OF the former there was slight sprink-
ling on the morning of the oath, and of the
latter several short squalls or iurries but alto
gether there was no impression made upon the
gage: no moisture even was found in it. The
early prophecies Of severe winter have utterly
failed of fulfillment. 1t seems pretty clearly
proved that the habits of animals furnish no
basis on which to found prediction of the
weather for more than few days in advance.
Nothing short of q series of recorded observa-
tons, continued through period of at least
twenty years, can entitle any one to be consid-
cred weather-wise. The long continued alb
sence Of precipitation is likely to prove Sc
ri0us injury to the State during the coming
season. 1t is not now apparent from what
source we are to expect the usual spring rise
in the rivers. There is said to be little or no
amount of snow near their head waters; and
there must be rains of unusual duration and
amount to affect materially their present stage,
which is reported to be two feet lower than at
this time last year.
