The Presidential I'm brogliO.

A Washington dispatch to the Chicago
Tribune, under date Of the I'd inst, says
an Interesting correspondence has taken
place between Secretary CHASE and Presi-
dent LINCOLN on the subject of the PoME-
ROY circular.
Some days since CHASE sent note to
the President, saying he had not seen
PoMERoY's circular until it was published,
and that he disapproved of it; but, never
theless at the solicitation of friends, he
stood in the attitude of a candidate for the
Presidency, and he submitted to Mr.. LIN
COLIN the question whether such attitude
was incompatible with his relations as a
member of the Cabinet.
The President replied he had not seen
PoMERoY's circular and as to whether
CHAsE's candidacy was incompatible with
his position as a member of the Cabinet,
that was question for him (CHAsE) to
decide.
Another journal gives the following as
q verbatim copy of the correspondence be-

The Indian War.

A dispatch from Milwaukee of the Sd
instant says: Generals SIBLEY and SULLY,
who have been here in consultation with
Gen. POPE, in relation to the coming cam
paign against the Northwestern Indians,
left yesterday-General SIBLEY going to
Minnesota, and General SULLY to the Up
per Missouri. Gen. SULLY is to be in COM
mand in the field, anu will at once make
the necessary preparations. His stores
will be procured at st. Louis and sent up
the Missouri. The expedition will move
up the Missouri as soon as the season is
sufficiently advanced, and will afford pro-
lection to the thousands of emigrants who
are preparing to go by water. A line of
military posts will be established for the
permanent protection of the overland
travel. The expedition will accomplish
more for the interests of tire Northwest,
than any that has ever been sent against
the Indians.

MIR. DOnnelly's Speech.

We have received a long speech recently
made in the House by Mr.. DoNNELLY, of
this State. Not having room for the
speech in full, we quote the following SYM
opsis of his budget Of interesting facts,
from the New York Post:
In the year 1870 we had but 1929 900 peo-
pie; in 1860 we possessed population of 81
10000; the difference. 27,5l6,OOO, being the
sum of our growth in seventy years.
How far is this growth due to the natural
increase of the population in the country in
1890? To ascertain this, it will be necessary
to institute some comparison with the rates of
growth of other nations.
England and Wales possessed. in 1870, a pop
ulatiOn of nearly 3, 900, 900; in 1861, q popula-
ton OF 20, 227 TAG. In other words, the growth
of England and Wales was thirty per cent.
less in three hundred years than that of the
United States in seventy years But, as it may
be argued that the rate of growth of all na-
tons has increased in modern times, we will
cOntine our comparison within q shorter pc
Rod.
In 1901 the population of England and
Wales was 9, 15G Ill; it 1861 it was 70, 227 ZAP,
being an increase of III per cent in sixty
years. 1t is true that England had, during
that time sent out considerable emigration
to differ ent parts of the world, which, from the
best data attainable, estimate at S52,O11, be-
tween 1925 and 1885, but on the other hand
the census of 1851 shows that England in
that year contained 519,959 natives of Ireland
and 80, 087 natives of Scotland, making to-
tai of 65O,046. The difference therefore be-
tween the emmigration and the immigration
is not great enough to materially affect the ra-
ito of growth.
If we apply that ratio to our own country
we find that we should to-day possess q popu-
latiOn of II, 728, 12O; about one-third our pres
ent population.
Like all western men Mr.. DONNELLY
closed with an allusiOn to his own State
Minnesota. The ratio of increase of the
whole nation, from 1850 to 1860, was but
354 per cent, he said. That of the West,
as a whole, was over IS per cent and of
the State of Minnesota 2,761 per cent!

The National House of Representatives
at Washington, on the 25th ult., two
thirds OF the Democrats being present,
voted that neutrality, or indifference, or
anything short of hearty support of the
Government" was "crime." The fol-
lowing are the resolutions, offered by Mr..
Schenck:
Resolred. That the present war which this
Government is carrying on against armed in
surrectionists and others, banded together un-
der t e name of "Southern Confederacy," was
brought on by q wicked and wholly uniustiia-
BILE rebellion, and all those engaged in or aiding
or encouraging it are public enemies and
should be treated as such.
Resolued, That this rebellion shall be effect
ually put down: and that to prevent the recur-
renee of such rebellions in future. the causes
which led to this one must be permanently re-
moved.
Resolved, That in this struggle which is going
on for the saving of our country and free gov
eminent. there is no middle ground on which
any good citizen or true patriot can stand :,
neutrality, or Indifference, or anything short of
hearty support of the Government, being a
crime where the question is between LOYALTY
and treason.

THE WEEKLY PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT.
Death Of Col. Dahlgren.

The reported death of this officer has
been confirmed by our dispatches this
morning. We append brief sketch of
his military career:
Colonel Uric Dahlgren was born in the
State of Pennsylvania, and was the son of Adj
miral Dahlgren, the commander of the tfleet
operating off Charleston. He was young but
dashing officer, and earned his Coloncls COM
mission by his bravery.
The subject of this sketch first came into no.
tice during the present war as an Aid-de-camp,
having been appointed OH May 30, 1862 to that
position from the District of Columbia with
the rank of Captain. lie was ordered to re-
port to Gen. Fremont, then ut the head of the
Mountain Department, and was by him assign
ed to the staff of Gen. Rufus SaxtOn, then
commanding division in that section of cOun-
try. Under Gen. Fremont Captain Dahlgren
participated in the campaign near Cross Keys,
Va, June s, 1862. When Gen. Fremont was
relieved of his command Captain Dahlgren
was attached to Gen. Sigels staff, and partici-
pated in the campaign of the Army of Virginia
and in the operations in the valley before
Washington.
Capt. Dahlgren on November 8, 1862, made
a successful dash into the city of Fredericks-
burg, at the head of small force. He sue
ceeded in taking during this raid larger num-
Der of military prisoners than those which
composed his command, captured quantity
of materiel, besides killing and wounding sew
eral rebels During this brilliant expedition,
he lost but one killed and four missing. Gen.
Sigel spoke highly of this affair.
During the Pennsylvania campaign of June
and July, 1868, Capt. Dahlgren behaved with
distinguished gallantry, and was severely
wounded during an engagement near Hagers-
town, finally having !his leg amputated below
the knee. From his gallantry on this occasion
he was promoted to the rank of colonel of vol
unteers, to date from that particular time.

Stanton on the Draft.

Secretary Stanton, in reply to letter
requesting his views regarding joint reso-
lation No. Al of the House of Representa-
tives to continue the payment of bounties,
ETC., says:
LIST. That in his opinion the requisite troops
can be raised more eNpeditiously by continuing
tho payment Of bounties to the first of April
than by any other means.
"a. That at present great eXertiOns are being
made in the several States to raise their quota
by volunteers, so as TO avoid draft, the peo-
pie preferring that method of furnishing
troops.
Sd. That Gen. Burnside Gen. Hancock and
the State Legislatures and Executives are earn
estly requesting a continuance of bountics I'M
til the first of April
4th. That in his opinion the joint resolution
OF the House is wise and judicious, and that
its speedy passage by the Senate would greatly
promote the public welfare and strengthen the
military force more quickly and efficiently than
can be accomplished by any other mode

coin.

The Union members of the Ohio Legis
lature, to the number of sxty-three, held
caucus at Columbus, on the evening Of
February Goth, and unanimously recon-
mended President LINCOLN for reelection.
Theresolution adopted IS as follows:
Resolved, That in the opinion of this Con.
vention the people of Ohio, and her soldiers in
the army, demand the re nomination of Abra
ham Lincoln to the Presidency of the United
States.
The Columbus dispatch to the Tribune
makes the following report Of the Legisla-
tive caucus:
About sixty-three out OF one hundred and
i've OF the Union members of the Legislature,
met in caucus, and passed resolution saving
that the people of Ohio and her soldiers in the
army demand the reelection of Abraham Lin
coin: Before the adoption OF the resolution
nearly all the Chase men had left the hall. and
there were not at the time a majority of the
Union members present.

We notice among our exchanges, in
comments upon the discovery of coal by
MIR. EAMEs, as announced by us last week,
frequent recurrence of two errors. We
see that many of them designate the bed
as OF camel coal, the truth being that
though the coal is of highly bituminous
character, it is not entitled to the name of
camel, but is believed to be really the
more valuable for all uses in being true
bituminous. Again, now that an actaal
discovery is made, and proved to be valu-
able, other persons are coming forward
with specimens of coal, or renewing for
mier publications asserting the existence of
coal. Mr.. EAMEs found in nearly every
part of the State he examined, drift coal
in greater quantity probably than exists in
any other drift on the continent This
drift is from the west-north-west, and the
coal in it is only an indication of large
coal beds and probably out-croppings in
the uplift of the northwest 1t is not, al.
though bushels of it may be dug out at
different points, any proof of true coal
veins near such localities. This drift coal
probably accounts for specimens in the
possession of Indians and other unscienti-
fio explorers.
But while they are at it, will not some
of our learned Swans reproduce all their
past predictions or assertions of coal beds
within the limits of our State? To en-
courage them we may be permitted to hint
that as soon as our railroads are sufficient
ly extended to make coal mining pay, the
most extensive beds of coal existing in the
west will perhaps be opened within one
hundred and fifty miles of St. Paul in an
other quarter of the State from the Cot
tonwood region.

PROCLAMATION BY THE Gov
ERNOR.
To the People Of Minnesota.

The deficiency in the quota of the State is
less than fourteen hundred men,-the liberal
Government bounties have been extended to
the first of April next, land one more united
effort will supply that number and maintain
the reputation of Minnesota.
1t is due to the old organizations that their
ranks should be filled, and until that be accom-
plshed an attempt to enlist new regiment
would seem inappropriate. therefore earn
estly invoke the patriotism of the State to
place beside the veterans of Minnesota this
further contribution of fourteen hundred men
to the great cause of the Union.
While the old regiments have equal claims
upon our sympathies, and all should be
promptly strengthened, may say that, if the
First Regiment Minnesota Volunteers shall be
filled to the minimum, or Whereabouts, by the
LIST OF April, have the assurance Of Brigadier
General Slblev, commanding the District that
he will make the necessary application with
myself. to have it placed upon the frontier in
lieu of the gallant Sixth, the officers and men
OF which desire southern campaign.
have not doubt that such an application
to the War Department will be successful.
Let it be remembered that by the blessing of
Providence, the present will be the closing
year of the war,-that an early discharge will
not reduce the liberal bounties paid by the
government and that, if we fail in this holy
duty, The d/dtf must .foliop.
l recently said to large audience that
through your partially was Governor of the
bravest men and noblcst women on earth and
now appeal to my fellow soldiers of the Min
nesota First.-to the towns deficient in their
quotas,-and to the citizens generally, to aid
me in saving our noble State from the stigma
of a compulsory draft.
To those who shall more Immediately respond
to this appeal, l have only to say, that iiv-
ing, your sacrifices will be appreciated, and
falling, you will illustrate the truth of the de-
caratiOn, that
The iittest place for man to die
Il where he dies for man."

The New Ham psllire Election.

The New Hampshire election occurs to-
day, Tuesday, March s. Very great inte-
rest is felt in the result, as it will be taken
as an indication of what may be expected
in The Presidential canvass. Both parties
are fully organized and profess to be con-
fideIt of success. Some uneasiness has
been felt among the Republicans, at the
manifest strength and pluck of the Demo-
cracy. Last year the Democrats had two
candidates and polled majority of the
votes, but the legislature elected the Re-
publican candidate. There is no third can
didate this year to carry the election to
the legislature, and the contest will be de-
cided on election day The list of candi-
dates for State officers is as follows:

wholesome Hanging i'm Florida.

A correspondent with Gen. SEYMouR,s
expedition in Florida, relates the following
incident:
One day last week a party of four negroes.
belonging to one of the colored regiments in
Florida, committed rape on white woman.
Three of them were taken on Wednesday and
tried by Il drumhead court martial They were
convicted, sentenced to be hung. and an hour
afterwards two of them were swinging at Camp
Finegan. The other was brought into Jack
sonville, where at twenty minutes notice. q
scaffold was erected the troops called out the
citizens notified, and he had shared the right
eous fate of his fellows. The body was allowed
to remain twenty-four hours before being Gu t
down. Gen. Seymour charactcristically sent
up the proceedings of the court for Gen. Gill
mOre's approval, with an endorsement on the
back that the sentence had been carried into
effect
