DI,ppei.

This place, before which some desperate
fighting was going n at last accounts, is a
fort ess which the Danes have surrounded
with series of ingenious and novel de-
lenses. Tbs first obstruction which its
assailants will meet is an irregular line of
masked bitches, with sharp stakes firmly
fixed at the bottom to impede the unlucky
man who may tall through; next comes a
line of checauc de f,.tse; then another of
large man traps; and finally common
wire fence-tle latter simple but very
effective impeachment to both infantry and
cavalry. Not content with these Ines of
RECOMMENDATION, the Danish engineers have
crowned both scarp and counterscarp of
the earthworks with bristling line of
sharp swords, an expedient borrowed ap-
parently from the French defenses of the
breach at Badejos. Both within aad with
OFT she works are fixed planks studded
With ing nails, the points upward, and
1oacealed by a light covering of earth.
we must add to these amenities the mines
that underle all the assailable parts.

THE WEEKLY PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT.

has a right to insist on this; and either the
originals or copies, brought up by consent
or certiorari, may be looked into. 1t is
for this, among other purposes, that our
statutes provide for the reduction of the
evidence before the commit ing magistrate,
to writing.
1t does not appear from the decision,
nor are we otherwise informed, but that
the facts stated as appearing on the hear
ing of the case were derived from the
dispositions taken before the committing
magistrate, and such is to be presumed to
be the case until the contrary is shown.
But even had there been no written depo-
sitions taken before the magistrate and
affitlavits not before him were used at the
hearing by the prisoner, without objection,
there could DO no error in admitting them,
and the result would be the same as on
the proper introduction of the regular
dispositions.
We see no flaw for any body to pick at
in this decision,
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1864-04-22

generous in few instances, is but signal
for general rush of all these champions
of charity upon the unfortunate victims Of
such liberality.
We would not be understood as int;mat-
ing aught against the sacred duty of meek-
eyed charity and all its kin red sympa-
thies, but we are convinced t. at this FASH
ionable frenzy for ostentatious benevolence
is turning charity aside from its true cur
rent ard objects, if it is not absolutely dry
Ing up the fountains from whence it
springs. When it become: necessary for
everything We do in this way to be parad-
ed before The public, we shall soon begin
to neglect that private charity which "lets
lot tho right hand know what the left
hand doeth"
Undoubtedly, there may be some occa-
sion for the exercise of this kind of private
charity among our pevplc. But, however
this may be, we hope onr citizens will sus-.
pect the benevolence or patriotism Of all
these fashionable beggars until they begin
to head their subscription lists with figures,
representing dollars, marked paid, instead
of subscribing their names

of the groundlings and partisan gladiators.
Neither of them, perhaps, ever read the
Constitution OF the United States, or can
interpret BY history or by their knowledge
of tho science of government the mean
ing of our institutions, or anything else !;
yet while, perhaps, they do not know how
to make either bread, butter, or laws, high
government officers, and men who claim
to be statesmen and patriots, throng and
listen to these silly girls recitation of pre-
pared, ultra balderlash.
We did hope that the era of the ABBY
FoLsoMs, FANNY WRIGHTs and LUCY
STONES was about concluded, and that we
might have a few American FLORENCE
NIGHTENeALEs bat We presume now that
even toe VIRGIN MARY would receive but
slight consideration among us, if she did
not espouse, on the stump, some ultra or
fanatical doctrine.

sioux Indemnify Claims.

We have received from the Hon. WIZ.
WINDoM his report as Chairman of the
Committee on Indian Affairs, on the re-
port of the Commissioners on claims pre-
sented for injuries and depredations of the
Sioux Indians, in 1852, toget er with the
following note, which we print for the ben
eft of claimants: tta r.
--.l b0o2 WASHINGTON, April z, 1864.
10 The Editor Of che Pioneer:
Please advise claimants not to sell their
claims at sacrifice.
There is but little doubt as to the passage OF
the bill for their reliefat this session. Dr..
Truly yours. WIN. WINDOW q
The report of Mr.. WINDOW is an able
review of the several treaties and acts Of
Congress, from which it appears: a'
First That there is now in the Treasury
of the Uuited States fund which be-
longed to said Indians, and which has by
act of Congress declared forfeited for the
express purpose of paying these claims =
an amount more than twice as great as
that awarded by said commissioners, and
for which an appropriation is sought. efi
Second. That the Indians themselves
have solemnly agreed by treaty stipula-
tons that this compensation should be
paid out of this fund thus forfeited. oa
Third That the government has ex-
pressly undertaken to guarantee the good
conduct of these bands, aud to fully in
demnify all persons who may suffer in
juries from their deprodaticns, and has
retained in it's hands fund for that very
purpose.

Politics or War.

An undue amount of attention seems
inst now to be paid to party organization,
rarty names and party measures. A great
deal Of exultation is exhibited by many
politicians and partizan journals over the
certainty that this or that candidate will
be nominated, or over the assurance that
this or that platform will be adopted. As
much care seems to be bestowed upon the
subject of the coming elections as upon
what may be the results OF our next sum-
mer campaign against the rebels, and there
are some to be found who actually re-
joice quite as heartily over the success
of their particularly partizan ticket at
some minor election as they would at the
triumph of our armies. .ieeI grT iJ
While we acknowledge the truth of the
assertion that "peace hath its triumphs
no less renowned than war;" we should
remember that war hath triumphs still,
and that in Gods providence there is
time fur all things. We believe that this
is the time. the day and the hour to fight.
The country was never better prepared for
putting forth its greatest military exertions
than now, and wisdom says let rs strike
the great 6nal blow without further pro.
crastination, aad make this the business OF
the whole country until it is accomplished,
before we stop any more to daily with
political triAes, which but serve now a.
impediments to the one great cause. 70 nc
