A Falsehood Nailed.

The Press of Sunday copies from the
unofficial text of the Chicago Times,
those words in the Democratic Platform
which read in the official version "to the
end that peace may be restored on the
basis of the federal usaion Of The States, y
making to read, according to the unotS-
cial version of the Times reporter, con
the basis Of the federal States." At the
time the Press was imposing this erro-
neous text upon the public, it hsd before it
the official copy of the Platform.
THAoKARAY once said that he contem-
plated the publication OF volume con-
tanning all the lies that the French wrote
about the English during the career OF
NAPOLEON. We think a bulkier volume
could be made by publishing all the lies
that the Press has uttered in regard to the
Democracy, during the Presidency Of
ABRAHAM LINCOLN. The French told
a0hite lies, sugar-coating their poison with
their proverbial wit. The Press tells black
lies, having no wit to point them with.
The audacity of the Press lying is truly
sublime.

Emigration Pamphlet.

The Commissioners appointed by the
Governor to examine pamphlets on emf
grafton and award the premiums offered
by the State for the best and second best,
met yesterday at the Capitol. They had
before them the manuscripts presented by
several competitors, and after diligent ex-
animation awarded the first prize of 5000
to Mr.. M. J. CoLBURN, and the second
prize of 800 to Mr.. WILLIAM R. SMITH,
of Minneapolis. The law makes it the
duty of the Secretary of State to cause to
be printed the best pamphlet, and such
portions of the second best as he shall
deem fit, in the English, German and Nor
wegian languages, for circulation in foreign
countries and among immigrants. The
sum of $4,000 was appropriated to pay ex-

TARY DESPOT1sM. Necessity knows
no laws" and too clearly has i been
demonstrated to the people of this conn
try, through four years of unmiti9ated
calamity and disaster, that it does not
know even constitutional law. It remains
therefore, for the Democracy to rise in
their majesty and vindicate the Constitu-
ton. 1t remains for them to show to the
world how great people can conduct a
war, and preserve unimpaired the charter
Of their civil rights. That they will do it,
we do not entertain the shadow of a doubt.
But if in this night of gloom and uncer-
tainty, Of tempest and peril, the citizens of
America should be tempted to throw over
board their old compass, and be guided by
the new one, the ship of state will most
assuredly drift "on to that promontory
from which no lighthouse gleams."

Anticipated Suicide.

If anybody should meet with "hid-
eous Mokanna " in the course of his trav-
els, he is requested to lay violent hands
upon him and restrain him. The s'hideous
Mokanna is undoubtedly abroad. It is
not safe to let him run loose. He has been
abroad ever since he escaped from the
Press Office. The "hideous Mokanna "
has a constitutional weakness for "corro-
sive acid and is bent upon destroying
himself. Druggists are hereby respect
fully cautioned against supplying any one
with cOrrosi0e acid in quantities sufficient
to fill "cauldron." The "hideous Mo-
kama wears veil, walks with a quick
decided step, and gives every evidence of
being insane. Nova Scotia papers please
copy.

Then and Now.

When the Democratic Convention met
in Charleston, four years ago, unfortu-
nately for the country, abolitionism and
secession succeeded in breaking it up. A
short time ago tie New York Tribune
said:
We Republicans recognized and treated the
boilers as our virtual and powerful allies. And
when, through their aid, we had elected Lin
coin and Hamlin, our triumph was nowhere
more generally or openly exulted over than in
Charleston, the fountain and focus of the re-
bellion.
The Democracy fell, and the nation fell
with it. The disunion effected for that
party secured the disunion of the country,
and aboitionists and rebels equally re-
joiced in the consummation of the end for
which they had jointly striven.

Abraham Lincoln on the Necessity of
Negotiation.

Suppose you 90 to AGAR, you cannot fight al
scGys; and a0hen, after much loss on both sides,
and no gain on either, you cease fighting, the ien-
teal questions to terms of intercourse are upon
you.-Lincoln's Inaugural message.
Mr.. LINCOLN never uttered truer words
than these. We have staked everything
for nearly four years on the varying for
tunes of war, and are not the same ques-
tons now before US as when the war COM
menced? These questions must be met
sooner or later, and why should they not
be settled by negotiation, at once?

The extravagant anticipations INDUCED
in by some people that Gen. HOODS army
would be captured or virtually destroyed
by Gen. SHERMAN, will be dissipated by
the perusal of SHERMAN's official dis
patches. He has taken Atlanta, and with
smaller losses than in some of the prelim-
mary actions, but the rebel army has es-
caped, and is almost intact, having, &C
cording to our own accounts, suffered a
loss of less than 1000 men, in killed,
wounded and prisoners, while our own
losses are set down at 1900. Without un-
derrating in the least the importance of
the capture of Atlanta, it must be con-
fessed that SHERMAN has failed in his main
object. Mr.. WILLIAM Sw1NToN of the New
York Times, in a letter dated the 9th
ult., which takes very cheerful view of
the military ''situation," says: "General
SHERMAN can take Atlanta any day; but
he aims at more than that-he means The
deSt'uctaOn OF the Western army Of the
Conyederacy." The italics are used in
the Times, and are very significant and
conclusive upon this point. But it appears
further, that the vast stores and munitions
of war supposed to have been in Atlanta,
were probably moved away or destroyed
by the rebels. They left only fourteen
guns, and destroyed seven locomotives and
eighty-one cars of ammunition. SHERMAN
has exhibited in his campaign wonderful
strategic ability aud indomitable tenacity
of purpose, which renders the failure to
attain his main object the more to be re-
GREETED. He says his army now needs
rest, but with his own restless disposition,
idleness cannot long prevail.

How the Nominations were Received
at ShakOpee.

The news of MoCLELLANs nomination
was received in St. Paul few minutes
after the hour at which it was made. A
gentleman from Shakopee drove through
to that place, twenty-six miles, in such
time that at two O'Clock in the afternoon
the Democracy there had fired 1O1 guns
in honor of the event. In the evening a
joyful ratification meeting, largely attend
ed, was held in the village. The sterling
Democracy of Scott county say they in
tend to do their full share towards giving
the vote of Minnesota to MCCLELLAN and
PRNDLEroN.

Gen. Sullyss Battle.

A corrected copy Of Gen. SuLLYs dis

from which it appears that the Indians
were driven from their position, and that
their camp was burned by SuIIY's forces.
From the account given by our own cor
respondent, and from private sources, we
are forced to the conclusion that SuLLY's
campaign has not achieved very important

We are under great obligations to the
Press for the very obliging manner in
which, during one of its lucid intervals, it
has explained the very marked and as
founding similarity that exists between a
"hideous Mokanna and the "Northern
Democracy" In fact, we think the whole
Democratic party are deeply indebted to
the ingenious discoveries of this wonderful
resemblance. It seems that the "hideous
Mokanna /" went and did very foolish
thing. The "hideous Mokanna,"
picture it think of it,"
actually threw himself (oh horrors y into
a cauldron (mercy on usD Of corrosice
acid, so that every vestige of the rascal
was destroyed except a lock- of his hair.
The Democracy, however, represented by
the hideous Mokanna, -" will he so thor
oughly cleaned out 1--WE protest against any
more such " cockpit CALCULATIONS y in the
Presidential election this fall, that not a
grease spot, much less clock of hair, -
will be left of them.
Itappears to US that if Ton MOORE had
known what fate was in reserve for the
Democracy, he never would have done
such naughty thing as to write that ugly
"Veiled Prophet of Korassan with its
"hideOus Mokanna." We can stand the
"cauldron'' and the corrosive acid,'' but
we cannot consent to be reduced to a
"grease spot" We should be pleased to
leave the Radicals ga lock of our hair" as
slight token of remembrance.

results, and that his large force could have
been much better employed. He has
doubtless met sufficient number of In
dams. and encountered sufficient resist
ance, and damaged the Indians to an ex-
teut that will allow the quartermasters to
straighten their accounts.
tits gratifying to know that the casualty
listin the Minnesota regiments is very light.
Two men were killed in BRACKErT's Bat
talon, and two in the Second Minnesota
Cavalry. Among the killed was Sergeant
GEORGE W. NoRrHuP, of Capt. SHELLY's
company, BRACKETS Battalion. Mr..
NoRTHUP was one of the most celebrated
guides and explorers of the Northwest,
and an educated and accomplished gentle
man. He was among the bravest of the
brave, always fighting in the front, and
never showing his back to the foe. Capt.
SHELLY's appreciation of his fine soldierly
qualities was often warmly expressed. He
considered him in every respect qualified
to command a regiment. His loss will be
sincerely regretted by bis comrades.
"Bully Wells, Killed by the In
dams.
We learn from Mr.. K1NGsBURY, of Blue
Earth county, that GEORGE WELLS, an old
settler of this State, and better known as
"Bully Wells" and his daughter, were
killed fortnight ago, on Rock Greek, west
of Desmoines River, by the Indians. He
was trapping when he met the Indians.
He attempted to converse with them, but
they would have nothing to say, and fred
on him, killing him instantly. His daugh-
ter was discovered MORALLY wounded. She
was taken to Paramount, Martin county,
where she died.
Mr.. WELLS was a noted trapper, and his
adventures among the Indians have been
quite romantic. He was out on the from
tier, beyond the settlements, during the
massacre Of 1862, and had no knowledge
of it until he returned to New Ulm several
months afterwards.
