The whole valley, or that part Of it visited by

p!ke, rnd all the barns containing hay aud other
forage, have been burned. This portion OF Lou

of subsistence for themselves and horses, and
from which they have made periodical attacks
upon our line through AshDy5, Suckers, or

Letter from Superior.

SUPERIOR, May 10, 1864
EDITOR PIONEER The steamer Michi-
gan, from Chicago, arrived at Quebec Pier
this morning, with twenty-five passengers,
mostly old residents returning, and several
experienced miners for the North Shore
Mines. Two cattle dealers from Ontona-
gon were on board, who expected to pur-
chase cattle here. Unfortunately the
droves are en- route tor Superior, and will
reach here in time for the next boat. The
Michigan cleared with two hundred barrels
of fish recently caught at the rapids of the
st. Louis River, also merchandise, &c.
The Michigan will run regularly between
Chicago and Superior, and can acccmmo-
date about one hundred and fifty head of
cattle. We are assured that the cars will
run in July from Bayde Noquet, Lake
Michigan, to Marquette, Lake Superior.
YourSt. Paul hotels will doubtless feel the
benefit of the Peninsula Railroad, for pas
sengers prefer to visit St. Paul from Supe-
rior in preference to returning the way
they came.
The lumber interest of Superior and the
North Shore has received great impetus
from the high prices of lumber at the cop
per mines. I am afraid we canhot supply
one-fourth part of the demand. Mar
quette, the iron depot of Lake Superior,
and terminus of the Peninsula Railroad,
will be the center Of attraction this sum-
mer, owing to the silver lead discoveries
in its neighborhood. Numerous compa-
MES shave been formed to make explora.

Fourth Of July!"
The Journal Of Commerce probably gives
sound advice when it says:
We counsel now the utmost calmness and
patience. The overland route to Richmond ia
one OF Immense difficulty, one which we have
Ceen assured on high military authority would
always oe found hazardous and costly. Grant
uoID!iessly counted the cost before he under
took II. and has already intimated his determin-
atiOn 70 aonere to the line if it takes him all
summeI. certainly we may take example from
the patient tenacity Of purpose thus indicated.
we may nave immediate results from q renewal
of battles, or we may have no results for some
time to come. We may hear of the most br;i0
liant success, or Of reverses> lot - No
man be ashamed to reverse his indon,ent IN =,
these times whatever be the the comnIev;on
of the news, and let all possess their sonIs IN
patience. We have raised grand army. We ~
have an administration that has evinced great
anxiety in the selection of generals to suit
their views of the necessity Of the occasion !:
our soldiers have already fought heroically'
and in the battles to come, no one doubts they
will fight as the army of the Potomac has al.
ways fought. Patience, these times, till we
have the end of this present waiting.

Length of the Campaign.

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Ecening Post states that the more sagac-
ious military men at the capital are expecting
six weeks campaign in Virginia before Rich
mond falls Gen. Grant will not throw his
troops needlessly against the intrenchments of
the rebel capital, even if he should have the
opportunity, which is not expected at present.
The General, says the writer. has never coun.
tenanced the announcements of "great victo-
ries in the newspapers; on the contrary she
has said that still harder fighting was to come,
and that the rebel army has not yet been beat
en-. He also said to an eager and enthusiastic
friend, who was inquiring in reference to the
prospects of capturing Richmond, and espec-
tally in respect to the time when the rebel cap-
ital might be expected to fall into our hands

tions, mine, 60. If they can succeed in
obtaining miners in sufficient numbers to
develop the resources of their locations,
they will be fortunate.
Our people are anxiously awaiting the
result of the late land grant to your st.
Paul railroad. Let me assure the Compa-
ny that the Lake Superior iron ore is far
superior to that Of England I believe the
rails can be furnished much cheaper and
of far better quality than those laid by
the st. Paul and Pacific Railroad.
The late judicial election resulted in q
majority OF votes for Mr.. Scion F. Olough,
who was requested to run by citizens of
Superior and Polk county. The citizens
of Bad River, LaPointe county, where an
illegal Indian vote was polled bya certain
official in November, 1853, luckily for Mr..
Olough, did not know of the election, and
the said official was afraid to venture there
on account of the ice. s.

Mr.. Hamlin's was declared unanimous and
was ratified by the Convention. In response

thanks for the honor.
Sundry ballots were had for the second dele

lows.

The election OF Mr.. Berry by the delegation
of the First District, was unanimously ratified
by the Convention, and Mr.. Berry was called
out.
He believed there was no necessity for COM
parison of opinions. In these times mems
minds were fixed. He could not be changed
from his conclusions, but he would try to do
his duty in the National Convention, and he
believed it would be according to the minds of
the Democracy of Minnesota.
One ballot was had for the other delegate
from the First District, in which A. G. Chat

Mr.. Brisbin was called for and returned cor.
dial thanks for the especially fattering manner
In which he had been chosen. He looked upon
the National Convention to assemble next
fourth of July in Chicago as charged with the
most solemn responsibilities of any assemblage
that ever met in this country. So far as the
Eastern States have yet acted, they have
chosen their most patriotic men for delegates,
not instructing them by resolutions or plat
forms, but selecting men they could rely upon.
He trusted that Convention would enunciate
the principles of the party and endeavor to ar
rest the seeming inevitable progress of our 60.
vernment, as now conducted, to destruction.
In that Convention he should endeavor to act
for the best interests of the country, in repre-
senting the patriotic sentiments of the Democ-
racy of Minnesota.
The following named gentleman were placed
in nomination: II. T. Welles, of Minneapolis;
B. B. Meeker, of st. Anthony; Segraye Smith,
