Our friend, Capt. L. B. MARTIN, late of the
Fourth Minnesota, drew the Smizer Farm, va
lued at SAC, 900, at the st. Louis Sanitary Fair,
and is now in that city preparing to receive the
transfer and title. We know Of no one more
worthy of being hit by such streak OF good
luck than Captain MARTIN, and no one who
will bear unexpected good fortune with better
grace. We clip the following telegram relat-
ing to the matter:
DAVENPORT, June 8.-Captain L. B. Martin,
late of the 4th Minnesota, now clerk in the Of
fee of Captain Hunt in the Quartermaster De-
partment of this city, is the lucky holder of
ticket No. "a, 472, which is announced by tele.
graph as drawing the Smizer Farm.
Capt. Martin had taken in Mr.. Carpenter,
as associate clerk in the same office as a part
ner in the fortunes of his ticket; through
which arrangement the two gents become
joint proprietors in this valuable property, va
lued at from thirty to forty thousand dollars.
The above is not strictly correct Captain
MARTIN and Mr.. CARPENTER each purchased a
ticket and made an agreement, in jocular
spirit, that each should have half the proceeds,
in case either ticket won the prize.

THE New Orleans Times vouches for the en-
tire accuracy Of the following anecdote of Gen.
LEE. When on his way from Texas, where,
up to the time of the treachery of General
TwIGGs, he had been in the United States ser
vice, he stopped in Galveston and made call
upon distinguished clergyman who was MS
warm personal friend. In the course OF con-
versation between the clergyman and the tnen
Col. LEE the latter expressed himself deeply
grieved at the course of South Carolina and
the States which had followed her suicidal ex-
ample, and devoutly expressed the hope that
his own Virginia might be restrained from
committing the same fatal act But, says
Col. LEE. lit she, too, goes out of the Union,
/ shall be impelled to join my fortunes with
hers" This closed the interview, and General
LEE. with tears coursing down his cheeks, took
his departure. Said his friend, the clergyman,
"if Virginia should to day 60 back to the
Union Gen. LEE would foreake the desperate
fortunes of the rebellion, and 60 with his ma
tive State

Correspondence of the World
New ORLEANS, May 25.
Since Gen. Banks came down he called
before him the twenty-four members of
the State convention who voted against
emancipation, and called them to account
tor having done so. Taeir leader, Mr..
Abel, defended their conduct with his
usual intrepidity, when, to their astonish-
ment, Gen. Banks dismissed them, with
the remark that they had acted correctly {;
and that, without compensation to the 10y
al master, the negro ought not to be un-

free by those who had no personal interest
in the subject matter.
Except in bis taking it upon himself to
examine into the course Of the members
of body called together under his own
order, to represent the sovereignty of the
State, and to lay the permanent constitu-
tionai foundations of its government. and
who should act without the least dread of
the possibility of executive interference.
this occurrence affords Us reason to hope
that the mental hallucination which OBJ
scured the Generals mind before his trip
to Red River has been very much dis
PEELED by the conclusions and thunder
storms which be experienced there.

For Fort Ridsely and James River

The troops intended to establish the new
post, Fort Wadsworth, Oh James River,
left Fort Smelling on Tuesday morning for
For. Ridgely, there to remain until the sup
plies for the new post are brought up and then
to march for the James river. Companies B,
E. and K, Of the Thirtieth Wisconsin, and
Company NJ of the Second Cavalry will garri-
son the new post. Company G, of the Thir-
tieth Wisconsin, and the company of Connec-
ticut cavalry, accompany the above, to report
to the commandant at Fort Ridgely for duty.
Company Z, of the Second Cavalry, will march
a few days after to escort the supply train for
Fort Wadsworth as far as Fort Ridgely, and
then reports there for duty.
Some surprise being expressed at Wisconsin
men being sent to this State for duty, 1t is
proper to say that six companies of their regi-
ment are with Gen. Sully, part of them being
designed for garrison Of the new post to be es-
tablished on the Missouri river. A part of the
same regiment was with Gen. Sully last year.

DepOpulatiOn Of Ireland.

Irish papers still speak of the large depart
ures of emigrants for America no less than
1900 taking passage in the steamers Kangaroo,
City of Baltimore and Kedar, all leaving Liver
pool in single week for New York, and 500
more were awaiting means for their transport
alton. The Western Star says -" The results
of the emigration drain will soon be sensibly
felt in nearly every locality throughout south
and west Nor is the exodus confined to those
parts OF the country alone. We learn that a
large number Of emigrants have left Ulster for
america as well as Australia. If we stop to
consider the rate at which people are leaving
this country at present, we must come to the
conclusion that the land will soon revert into
pasturage, and that in a short time Ireland will
have to depend on foreign counties for bread

The Fifth Regiment.

Adjutant General MALMRos has received a
report from Major BECHT, commanding the
Fifth, Of the part borne by that regiment in
Gen. BANKS expedition up the Red river. Its
length and the late hour at which it was re.
ceived prevent our publishing it this morning.
The report is well written sketch of the prin.
cipal events of the expedition. The Fifth had
the advance, as skirmishers of the division, in
the several battles and skirmishes, and per.
formed its work well, though, fortunately
meeting with comparatively light loss. fifteen
men wounded and two missing, being all It's

Surgeons Graham and Johnson, who
we're left with our wounded at Ciodds
Mountain, Pulaski county, after the recent
fight there, arrived in this city yester-
day, having come by way of Richmond.
DR.. Graham attended upon the rebel Gen.
eral Jenkins after he was wounded and
amputated his arm at the shoulder, but in
consequence of lack of attention or lack
of competency on the part of the rebel sur
geons, hemorrhage took place and Jen
kins died. DR.. Graham was sent for q
second time Just before Jenkins died, and
had long conversation with him. Like
old Falstaff, he "babbled O. green fields +"
and spoke Of his early youth, spent upon
the old homestead on the banks of the
Ohio He regretted that the war had ever
commenced, and said he had all along
hoped that the unhappy difficulties would
