The Ninth Regiment.

On Monday last, in the Senate, Mr..
WILKINSON offered resolution that the
Secretary of War be requested TO furnish
all the information in his possession touch
ing the arrest and incarceration of certain
soldiers Of the Ninth Minnesota Regiment
by the military authorities of Missouri, at
Jefferson City, Mr.. WILKINSON said a ne.
gro had come into the camp and told TIE
soldiers that he was freedman, and that
his former master, rebel, had gone into
the service of the Confederate Govern
ment. He also said that, by permission of
the commander of the post, Gen. Brown,
his wife and children We're imprisoned for
the purpose of being taken South for SALE

having been recently sent down there, con-
sidered this an outrage, and about forty of
them started out for their rescue. Reach
ing the depot, they found train of cars
there with the passengers all on board
They took the women and children out of
the hands OF the traders, and delivered
them over to the husband Hereupon
forty of the soldiers were arrested, thrown
into prison, and remain there now. Til,

Military Arrests.

According to the act of the last Con-
gress. requiring him to report to the pro-
per judicial tribunals of the United States
list of names of all persons arrested by
the military authorities and confined with
out being allowed the privilege of the
habeas corpus, Secretary STANTON has
sent to Chief Justice TANEY, of the Su-
preme Court, a list of all such persons at
present in the military prisons of the
United States. Most of the prisoners are
natives of Virginia, arrested upon such
charges as 'disloyalty;" "aiding the re-
bells" carrying rebel mail, running the
blockade" &c. Three individuals of Fair
fax county, are accused of being "rabid
secesh," Mary Jane Prater, of Cincin-
natl, is imprisoned for wearing soldiers
clothes, /" and Mary Jane Green, of Brax-
ton county, Virginia, for "cutting tele-
graph wires" Eight Virginians, citizens
of Barbour county, are held as hostages
for the Union Sheriff of that county cap
tured by the rebels, John Kelchen, of
Baltimore, is held upon charge of being a
British subject" while Jacob Lewis and
Samuel Rich, are held upon "no charge
given"

West Point.

Our national military school is again
full, and would be if its capacity were
twice as great as at present. Why should
it not be enlarged? If there is one lesson
taught us by this war above all others, it
is the necessity of military education in
the commanders of our armies. The at
tempts to excite vulgar prejudice against
West Point have died out of their own
manifest folly. Thousands of our young
volunteers are developing rare military
genius in the war Let such have chance
for the right training in military science,
and We shall not henceforth lack efficient
commanders in any exigency. Congress
will do well to consider this matter at the
present session.
We quote single paragraph from de-
fence of West Point in the army and
Nary Journal:
That West Point is the best single school in
the world we have the concurrent opinions of
English, French and German officers, The
French system of schools may be its superior,
but no one school is its equal. Not to concede
this argues entire ignorance of the academy.
But the truest answer at once to the attacks
upon West Point is found in the battle records
of this war. The great soldiers on both sides,
are, almost to man, graduates of West Point.
We need not repeat their names; every one is
familiar with them. Loyalty, the Test and
highest of public virtues. is mistaken by many
for ability. The two combined are essential in
order to make Generals and to win battles ;
and oil other things being equal the educated
officer is most likely to combine the two, and
like Grant, Meade, Rosecrans, Thomas, Gill
more and hundred Others, to obtain the re-
countrymen. for their patriotism, made prac-
teal by their West Point training.

The Route to Idaho.

We direct attention to communication
in another column on this subject, written
by an intelligent gentleman connected
with the late successful expedition to the
Missouri river. The writer has an intimate
knowledge of the country, derived for the
most part, from personal observation. He
proves conclusively that no route to the
Idaho gold helds possesses half the advan-
tageS as that through Minnesota, via st.
Paul and Mankato. This information
should be extended all over the country,
for the benefit of those who contemplate
the journey next season to Idaho, no less
than for the incidental advantages that
will accrue to our own State. We believe
our representatives in Congress cannot
devote their influence to any projects that
will subserve the material interests of the
State in greater degree than that under
consideration.
In order that the advantages of the
route may be auths relatively tested, it is
necessary that another expedition should
be started under the auspices of the Gov
eminent, to establish the route, and to
afford protection to emigrants. 1t is I'M
portant that the officer who is to conduct
the expedition should, at an early period
be designated, that he may have ample
time to complete his arrangements. The
time Of starting should, as near as possible
be designated aAd advertised throughout
the country, as well as information relat-
ing to outfit, 60. No time should be lost.
Thousands have already made up their
minds to 60, and are eager for information
regarding the cheapest, easiest, safes, and
most practicable route.

The Saint Paul Library Association.

The first Animal Meeting of the Asso-
citation lately organized by the Directors
of the Young Mems Christian Association
and the Directors of the Mercantile Library
Association, took place Monday evening
at the Library Rooms in Ingersoll's Block.
We deem this fitting occasion to call
public attention again to this meritorious
Association in order that the benefits of
the Society may be fully understood by
all our citizens and that the business
men may think for moment of what in
caloulable benefit to growing city is q
valuable pub lie Library. The Association
has about three hundred reading members.
and we trust that by another year the
number will be increased to one thousand.
The small fee charged for reading MEM
bership should induce almost every house
holder to invest two dollars in this Library
for the benefit of his children, even
though he should fail to read any of the
books himself.
Through the liberalty of the business
men and citizens of st. Paul the Associa
ton has fund of nearly or altogether
two thousand dollars to invest in standard
books during the present year, which
increase, with the number already on
hand, will make about 5000 volumes from
which the members will have the pleasure
ofselecting.
We rejoice that the Directors of the
former Library Associations have had the
public spirit to sink their rival feelings
and organize an Association which appeals
to the support of every true citizen, and
which gives us the foundation of one Of the
best and most useful public institution:
with which a city can be graced

Railroads of the United States.

The american Railroad Journal sums
up the actual mileage of railroads COM
pleted in the United States on the 1st of
January, 1864, at $3.50 miles, with about
10000 miles additional that are, or have
been, under construction The increase of
completed road during the past year has
been 1890 miles. Of the completed roads,
24,927 miles are in the loyal States, and
1888 miles in the States now in rebellion.
The condition of the latter is so bad that
many of them, on the return of the States
to loyalty, could be more properly classed
among the roads "under construction. {"
The total cost of the completed roads and
their equipment in the United States is one
thousand t,oo hundred and sirty-si1 mil
lion dolzars-quite respectable sum of
money to be invested in one branch of
business. Taking the grand total of roads
completed and under construction in the
several States, Ohio stands pre- eminent as
the railroad State, but falls behind Penn
sylvania in the number of miles completed.
The following are the railroad statistics of
tho tive 0reat railroad States.

A CORRESPONDENT complains, as a gross
inconsistency, and of baleful influence, that
the press, while denouncing the prize-6ght,
prints the full details. So it prints rob-
berries and murders, and denounces the
crimes. So it records the unchristian con-
troversies of Christian men and women,
and disapproves of them. So it tells you
the mercury was down below zero yester-
day morning, yet shrugs its shoulders at it.
When will all good people be intelligent
enough to comprehend and yield the fact
that the daily newspaper is but /" map of
busy life, "-tracing its shadows as we'll as
its lights-its crimes as well as it's benet.
cences-its shames as well as it's olor;es
and that the paper that does not do this
however useful and pleasant in Sundav'
schools, however valuable as moral ar 70
