SIR-Your letter of the Sd inst has been re-
ferred to me by Maj. Gen. Pope. have ex-
amined the Partridge received by Gen. Pope.
and can account for the premature discharge
by the following reasons:
LIST, Either No. did not hold his thumb
tight enough upon the vent and by admitting
the air into the piece, caused the discharge. or,
End, The flannel of which the cartridge is
made is OF too coarse texture, and when
rammed home into the gun some grain of pow
der must have been forced through the flannel
and fired by some OF the surrounding fire that
always remains in the gun.
The following paragraph from the Ordnance
Manual shows how cartridge bag should be
made:
Ordnance Manual, page 271.
" The cartridge bag is cylindrical bag with
a circular bottom, made of merino or serge.
The material should be composed entirely of
WOOL, tree from any mixture Of thread or cot
ton, and of sufficiently close texture to prevent
the powder from sitting through: that which
is twilled is preferred. Flannel is used when
other material cannot be conveniently obtain.
ed"
The cartridge sent to these Headquarters BY
you is not made according to the above direc-
lions, the cloth is too coarse, and in my Opin-
ion the second reason given above will account
for the premature discharge of the piece.
am sir, your Obedient servant,

Now, in 1864, is held an election in the
same State, upon vital question, but un-
der military law and extraordinary test
oaths, where only 26, 1919 votes are polled!
This is called free suffrage! Can it be
that rejecting men of the opposition will
be satisfied with an election like this? Do
you wish to carry elections in this manner,
North or South? Do you see no danger
to the perpetuity of free institutions, when
military power can stife the voice of nearly
three-fourths of the electors of State
We firmly believe that unless our rulers
are checked in their unauthorized and un-
iustifable exercise of military power, our
free institutions will be utterly lost before
the Southern rebellion is crushed. They
exist now only in name in some States
that are not in rebellion. This is no party
question; it's magnitude and Importance
is above all the platforms of the day.

Minnesota Regiments In Missouri.

A private letter informs US that the Fifth,
Seventh and Ninth Minnesota Regiments
were at st. Louis on the 9TH inst, on
transports, bound for Jefferson City, on
the Missouri. While at st. Louis each
regiment drew new outfits. The boys all
looked well and hearty, and as neat as
veterans ought to look.

The ACCIDENTS IN FIRING THE SANFORD
sALuTR.-Capt. Haight, Chief of Ordnance,
of Gen. Pope's Staff, reports as follows to the
Adjutant General of this State upon the cause
of the recent accidents in firing the Sanborn
guns:

enteen cents, including an estimated appro-
priation for the fiscal year of 1866 of
100000, 100000 (nine hundred millions.)
The war being certain to continue one
year longer if Mr.. LINCOLN is reelected,
this may be considered a fair estimate.
Bot deducting the estimated appropriation
for 1865 we have an actual appropria-
ton, alreadymsa ofFOUR THOUSAND
ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-ONE
MILLIONS FOUR HUNDRED AND
EIGHTY-FOUR THOUSAND SEVEN
HUNDRED AND THIRTY-TWO DOL
LARS AND SEVENTEEN CENTS, C$4,-
4s1, 4s4,732.17.)
Bear in mind that these enormous fig
ures are the official debt according to ap-
preparations already made by Congress,
and that they erceed the official debt as
stated by the Secretary of the Treasury
by too thousand four hundred and sinty-
three millions, sac hundred and Seventeen
thousand, sir haadred and ninety.tyo
dollars and seoenteen cents, (S2,643,617,-
692.17.)
You have now got before you a true
official statement of the debt. Any state
ment that places the debt less than $4,4s1,-
484,7s2,17, is made with the view of de-
ceiving taxpayers into the support of Mr..
LINCOLN for the presidency. The official
statement of the Secretary of the Treasu-
ry is in every respect a false statement
because it leaves out of view essential
facts. The above are the true figures as
they will be presented to Congress on the
first Monday in November next.
With these figures before you, you can
see that the public debt oftAe United States
already sacaNoDs up The value Of real eS-
tate IN the free states and territories, as
stated at the head of this article. In 9TH
er words, ifyour farm is worth nine thou
sand dollars, you have got to pay a tax
equal to seven per cent. interest on it's val
ne, in order to keep it from passing into
thehands of the public creditor. By anoth-
er year taxation will be equalized, and the
burthen Of it will fall upon real-estate.
Can you affordto pay $3.50 90 per AMMAN,

Suffrage under military Rule.

)The summing up Of the recent vote of
Maryland on the new constitution SUBJ
mitted to the people for acceptance or re-
lection, as given in the dispatches, is an
instructive commentary on the manner in
which the voice of the people of that State
has been expressed under military rule.
The total vote for and against the new
constitution is set down at 26,129. That
no careless reader may suppose this vote
is fair expression Of the will Of the peo-
pie, we give below the vote for President
in 1870 II il az follows:
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1864-10-21
TO THE FARMER.

We have already proved to you from of
fetal figures that your farm is now. mort
gagged forlthe payment of the public debt
tolan extent equal to nearly one-half ofits
value. H.1
The figures which we gave you were as
follows: Total valuation of real estate in
the free States and Territories $685.
101, 1892 according to the census report.
Public debtas officially proclaimed 81, 017,-
S67, O4O; so that by these figures, farm
valued att 100000 is mortgaged for
100000, and farm valued at 100000
is mortgaged for 100000.
We told you moreover, that the official
acknowledgment Of the public debt was
not the true statement of the debt, and
that in reality the debt was much larger
than we had seen fit to represent it.
We now put this inquiry to you. "hat
is the true method of arriving at q proxl-
mate estimate of the cost of the war; Our
answer is, we must find it by footlng up
the total congressional appropriations for
the expenses of the government since the
inauguration of the rebellion You will
agree with us that such course is fair for
the following reason. These appropria-
tions have been legally made, and have
become part of our public laws. APP
propriations thus made by acts Of Con-
gress have got to be met and paid, and
being met and paid they form in their ag-
gregate our public debt. So far we are
agreed. An OFFICIAL statement has just
been compiled from the records Of the Of
fee of the Clerk of the House of Repre-
sentatives, showing the following appro-
priation for Government expenses since the
war commenced.

TIE TkUTH,

In speaking Of the report Of Gen. JOSEPH E.
JoHSsT0E, the fall of V.cksbUTg, and General
PEBIBERToE, the Richmond EIamiRsr makes
the following statement:
So far from VicksbuIg having been sUrren-
deIsd on account of q scarcity CT supplies, it
now appears, e5fetai'y, tlst Pemberton hsd, at
the tire et tas 5urTelder, about 40 600 pounds
Of pork and bacon, which had been reserved for
The E1bsi5tence Of his troops in the event Of at
tempting TO cut his way ogt of the city. Also,
81 ,24l pounds Of rice, 5000 bushels Of peas,
ll2 234 pounds ct suga', 3,240 pounds Of soap,
527 pounds ta!iow caUdlss, p pounds star can
dies, and 42S 600 pounds Of sslt
We desire to eEter into no controversy on the
point made BY the EElRiHsT, but merely TO
state fact that came to our knowledge shortly
sftsr The surrender OF tbs river stronghold. The
Yankees occupied tie iy early in the forenoon
OF the 4lh JAY, and On tle afternoon Of the
same day threw tie bas5n In question into The
river, as \ sanitary Precaut;on. The whole lot
VS. 50 badly damaged tl!st tie stencil was ST.
most overPo EeTing, when the doors Of tho CELLARS
| in which it was stored we're thrown open, and to
| prevent sicbHess ii Wal c! once disposed of as
| stated. Our informant was aa cid resident who
occupied promiuani POIiti0n in the city, and
Witnessed the disposition made Of the bacon.
The quantity named by him was the same as
stated by the EDamiRsT.
