Gov. svyift Of minnesota.

Hon. Henry A. Swift, Governor of Mime
sofa, is native of Ravenna- He emigrated
to that State in 1850, and already occupies the
Executive Chair. He is agentleman of great
ability. extensive requirements, and sterling
integrity. To show how he is appreciated
in the State of his adoption, we transfer to
our columns the following editorial article
from the leading daily paper of the State,
The st. Paul Daily Press of the 18th inst:
Gov. SwlFT's MEssAGE.-The two houses
of the Legislature, inteImingled with a large
auditory of ladies and gentlemen from the
city, assembled yesterday at 2 P. NJ, in the
Hall of the House of Repres sntatiyes, to lis
ten to the Governors Message, which, as usu-
al in this State, was read by the Governor in
person.
This document, which will be found in a
supplementary sheet of this paper, is regard
ed, on all hands, as one of the ablest and best
written documents which has ever emanated
from the Executive Chair of this State.
1t is complete and lucid resume ofsthe
public business of the State for the past year,
in all its departments, and the broad and saga
c;ous views which it presents of leading ques
tions of public policy, both as to what has
DcSu OUHc, duu Hudb pIOpoScd W OS uOhS,
will at once place Gov. Swift in popular es-
timation, where he has long been held in
the regard of those who know him best
in the front rank of our leading statesmen.
Among the numerous topics presented we
refer our readers especially to his succinct and
masterly exposition of the projected railroad
system of the State, which harmonises all
conflicting interests in one comprehensive and
liberal plan of railroad developement to his
recommendations in relation to the opening of
ernigrant routes to Idaho; to financial ques-
tions the State University problem, and nu-
merous other matters. He does not omit to
pay we'll merited compliments to his prede-
cessor and successor in Office.
The eloquent pereraion on national affairs
will command general attention scarcely less
! by the exalted tone of patriotism which per-
vades it than by the-choice and even elegant
rhetoric in which its sentiments are clothed.
The ST. Paul Daily Pioneer, the leading
opposition paper of the State, gives the mes
sage the following candid, generous and just
notice
Gov SwIET's MEssAGE.-We refer our
4 readers to the second page fer the message oi
! Gov. Swift, which was delivered to the Leg
islature yesterday. 1t is a clear exposition oi
the affairs of the State, and embraces all the
general ader will care to know of the ope.
ration of the various Executive departments
of the government. The suggestions in re.
!, gard to future legislation are marked by thai
practical good sense, which it is only justice
to say is prominent trait in the character O
Gov. Swift. We cannot give this morning
any extended summary of the message bu
advise all to read it. s

We have been and changed our base, came
down from Chattanooga on the 9th inst, and
it was as cold, rough, wet and disagreeable a

bad and the mules SO poor that We lost one

we get full ratiens and plenty of forage for

duty at this place, this being the terminus
of the Nashville and Chattanooga R. R., and
the depot of supplies for the army at Chatta-
nooga.
As soon as the R. R. bridge at Whiteside is
finished, the ears can run up to Chattanooga
and then hope the army there will get full

Had Faith.

It sesus that Gen. McCleIlan,s nomination
as a Presidential candidate is, after all, not q
genuine nomination, but a sham--a dslusion
and snare. In a caucus Of the opposition, at
Washington, Mr.. Fernando Wood enquired
whether the conservatives had not already
nominated their candidate, GEN. Mcclellan ?s
Mr.. Mallory said that the nomination of Gen.
Mcclellan was regarded by the conservatives
who met at Cincinnati and Philadelphia as
simply suggestion or recommendation of
that gentleman as candidate, and that they
were ready to unite on anybody nominated by
the Democratic Convention for. President.
It IS too bad to treat Sc great man SO shab-
billy. It is wretched fate for young Ma
po.eoD, to become the sport of demagogues,
TO be nominated one day and dropped the
next. sa1 :.
Wenotice by the way, that the National
Democratic Committee 9 charmed by the sue.
cess of the Republicans at Chicago, have de,
termined 10 court fortune by holding theil
next convention at the same place. They
ought to remember that not only the plac'
where the Republican Convention was held
but also the principles which it announced
brought success to its candidates.

and Fee threatened to strike him. Brush
told him to do so if be liked, when Fee struck
him in the face, and Brush drew pistol and

and lodging in the lung. Fee then knocked
Brush down and kicked him two or thee
times, and fell to the floor. He was taken
