Examiner vs.. Times.

This platform, then, does not pledge the
new administration, if 1t come into power, to
stop the war, nor so much as to suspend hos
tilities for single moment, but only to make
efforts to induce the Confederate States to
come into convention for the restoration of
the Union that Is, to submit as cOndi-
ton of even an armistice. Examiner.
It appears from the above that the South
take very different view of the Chicago
Platform from the New York Times and
Tribune; view which will not be mate
rally altered by Mr.. MoCLELLANs letter
Of acceptance. They see and know that
the Democracy is pledged to the war un-
less they consent to come back into the
Union on such terms as may be agreed up
on. 1t is pledged by its platform. 1t is
doubly pledged by McCLEILAN's letter of
acceptance. But they also see and know
that if they come back the rights of the
States will be respected, which is an inn
possibility under the present Administra-
ton. MoOLELLAN's triumph will result in
Union party at the South. 1t will be an
"apple of discord to disturb JEFF DAVIS
Councils.

Another New Romance.

The fiction writer's of the Administra-
ton party are trying to amuse the public
just now by displays of their remarkable
inventive genius.
They recently gave what purported to
be letter from Gen. MCCLELLAN REQUEST
ing that draft should be ordered. They
dated the letter, however, prior to the ex-
istence Of any law for national draft,
and when bis army was actually crossing
the Potomac to go into action.
The latest romance is produced by
Sunday paper in New York, which pro-
fesses to give a plan of commercial union of
live separate confederacies into which the
Democrats and the rebels have agreed to
split this country. This last romance is
an ingeniously constructed thing, bnt over
looks the fact that the Democratic candi-
date for President and the convention
which nominated him are Enthusiastically
known to be in favor of the Union of States
organized by the fathers of the Revolu-
ton.

The Coming Draft.

As we understand that an opinion is cur
rent in the State that no draft will take
place on the recent call, it is proper to re-
mind our readers that the real time for
commencing the draft is on tho 10th inst,
the law requiring sixty days notice and
not fifty days as was first published. Yet
we believe that time will be given after
that date for filing quotas, if any effort
appears to be making to that end. twill
take several days to make up the accounts
with sub-districts, and in the meantime it
will be easy to fill the artillery regiment,
one hundred recruits for which were en-
listed yesterday,-which done, the draft
in this State will be very light. Our IN
derstanding now is that the Provost Mar
shall Generals orders are to commence
drafting in either District as soon as en-
listments drop off and the Boards of En-
rollment can make the necessary prepara-
tons.

Conflict of Authority In kentucky.

Conflict oil AuthOr1ty In Kentucky
Gen. EWING, commanding the District
of Kentucky, has issued to the Judges of
the Quarterly Courts orders to call the
Justices composing the several county
courts to meet and levy a tax, and raise
and maintain in each county company of
fifty men, to be reported to EWING for or
ders. The captain of each company to be
appointed by the county court subject to
approval Of the Circuit Judge. Of course,
Gov. BRAMLErrE, the lawful executive head
of the civil authority of the State, resists
such an encroachment upon the State gov
eminent by this Gen. EWING, and very
properly directs the Judges and Justices
not to obey EwING's orders. This order
of EWING may be a part of the LINCOLN
plot to gain such complete military control
of Kentucky as to dictate its vote for Pres
ident in November. If not, the authori-
ties in Washington will speedily correct
Gen. EWING. But in any event, Gov
BRAMLETTE is right in directing that the
order be not obeyed. If General SIBLEY
should issue such orders to the county au-
thorities of Minnesota, would not Gov.
MILLER caution him to hold up, and would
not our county officers disobey him?

From Fort Ridgely.

Col. PFAxNDxR writes to Gen. SBLRY
on the 9th, announcing the death of Lieut..
@. E. LINCOLN, of Company O, Second
Cavalry, commanding Company G Of the
Connecticut Cavalry. Lieut.. LINCOLN died
from typhoid fever. He was to have been
buried next morning with the usual mill
tary honors.
Lieut.. CURr1oE, of the SOth Wisconsin,
late Acting Post Adjutant, has been tenn
porarily assigned to the command of the
Connecticut Cavalry.
At Leavenworth Station, about twenty
miles north from Fort Ridgely, Sergeant
of Company F, Second Cavalry, while ex-
aiming a pistol, accidentally discharged
it and shot Corporal ODrIL, of the same
Company, the ball striking ODELL in the
breast and killing him instantly. Colonel
PFAENDER speaks of the deceased as hav-
ing been an excellent soldier and an init
mate friend of the Sergeant whose care
lessness caused his death.
Signs and tracks had been discovered
on Lake Hauskah, confirming the reported
appearance of the Indians at the coal
mines some time ago, but of late no Indi-
ans have been discovered or reported on
any part Of Col. PrAENDER's line.

Nomination Of Mcclellan.

From the Richmond Enquirer, Sept. g.
The platform of Chicago is now known and,
seeing that peace Democrats and war Demo
Gratis have compromised on Mcclellan, the said
platform is half peace and half war; being con.
structed in such q way as to drift to either side
and settle down next March in a war or peace
policy as circumstances may require. Armis-
tice will certainly be feature in the new pol
Icy; armistice with view to negotiation.
And now, supposing that armistice to be &C
cepted, 1t must be admitted that the solution
would be regarded by many good Confederates
as more perilous to our independence than Lin
coins war to the knife; for those "negotia-
lions will not necessarily be confined, as they
ought to be, to the confederate government;
they may address themselves severally, per-
haps unoficially, to state legislatures they
may wind their way through every ramifica-
ton of society, by commercial transactions
and private intercourse; may approach influ-
entail individual S in the shape of promises of
political support, nay of hard money; in every
conceivable manner that season of armistice
would be used to create here an Union party
once more. The effort would fail yet it
might distract and divide, and introduce trou-
blesome discord, when now there is a good
practical unanimity. There can be no doubt
that should Lincoln permit an election-and
should Mcclellan be the new President-and
should he offer an armistice for negotiation
even though it should be a real, gen.
ulne cessation OF hOStlllties by sea and
land-the cause of confederate independ-
ence would then begin to have new
kind of perils to encounter, and would
have to meet them by new effort of public
virtue more heroic than military achievement
ITSELF And, after all, be it remembered that,
if such an armstice is proposed, it is accompa-
MED by an implied threat. This is the very
feature which gave Mcclellan the precedence
over all mpetitOrs-that he is general and
young Napoleon, and Is supposed to know at
any time how the war can be brought to sue
cessful issue, if Lincoln would but let him
have his own way. We are about to be asked,
then, to negotiate under the Damocles sword;
they dare to hold up before US IN terrOrem the
hero of Harrison's Landing, as warning, that
if, after all promised Establishments and cOnsti-
tutiOnal guarantees, and we still hold out
against the Union of our fathers, that Young
Napoleon will be reluctantly compelled to ex-
terminate us at last.
A few days since the PIONEER took oc-
casion to say that to have incorporated
war plank in the Democratic platform,
provided negotiation failed, would be con-
sidered threat, and would be equivalent
to asking the South to treat, "with the
sword of Damocles suspended over their
heads" The above quotation from the
Richmond E.camine1' confirms our re-
marks, for the nomination of MCCLELLAN
is looked upon as supplying just such a
plank.

First Congressional District.

The Democracy of the First District
have nominated Hon. HENRY W. LAMBER-
TON, of Winona, for Congress. He is we'll
qualified for the position in every respect,
is largely identified with the material in
terests of the State, and very popula: with
all who know him personally. The full
Democratic vote of the district will be
given him, and in addition thereto the
suffrages of many who have hitherto ac-
lively supported the Republican ticket may
reasonably be counted on. The domina-
ton of Mr.. WINDOW in that district has
become SO arrogant that many will en-
brace the opportunity now presented of
checking his career in the national councils.

The Hon. lgnatius DOnnelIy.

We have pretty thoroughly dissected in
previous editorials the speech of the Hon.
IGNATIUs DoNNELLY on the Reconstruct
ton Of the Union" To call it speech is
hardly a proper use of terms, for from be-
ginning to end it does not display single
element of even passable craftsmanship.
1t is TRADE, without an argument, adj
dressed exclusively to the passions. 1t is
the old story of the fanatic and his monot-
onous one idea. 1t is rodomontade, full
Of empty buster and boasting, of passion
ate adjurations, of morbid sentimentality,
and of rhetorical pyrotechnics. 1t goes up
like rocket and comes down like a stick.
It is a medley of cubs, monsters, gorgons
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1864-09-16

and hydras;-of abortive metaphors and
impossible SMILES. In one minute we see
DoaNELLY in blaze of rhetorical glory ;
in the next he is lost in total eclipse One
minute he looms upon our astonished vision
breaking and bursting into scintellations of
purple and carmine. The next he is thor
oughly extinct.
The total ignorance of the first and COM
monest principles of Republican govern
ment as evidenced in this TRADE, are per-
fectly astonishing. The rights ofthe States
are completely ignored. The principle OF
local self-government is set aside with q
sneer. The national authority lis exalted
as absolutely paramount. And yet this
monstrosity of the DoNNEILY brain is
natural result of the teachings of LINCOLN
and SEWARD and other lights Of the Adolf
ton party. The disciple, spurning the
cunning and caution of the master, pushes
premises to conclusions, and jumps through
leagues of sophistry to appalling results.
But perhaps it would be unjust to Mr..
DoNNEILY to hold him absolutely RESPONSE
BILE for the principles be proclaims. In
deed we do not think he has ever stopped
to observe in what course he was drifting.
He is in every respect weak man; SEN
timentalist without power of reflection: q
fancy dealer in words, caring little what
purpose he puts them to, provided he can
succeed in making temporary sensation.
But while We are willing to admit this as
true, We must enter our protest against
man with such record, and Of such
calibre, ever representing the Second Con-
gressional District again in Congress as
sembled.

The Destruction OF the Indian Camp
by Con. Sully's Forces.

A copy Of Col. AoLARENs report to
Gen. Su1LY, Of the destruction of the
lodges and stores found in the Indian
camp, the day after the recent battle in
Dakota, has been received by Gen. S1BLRY,
Col. AoLARRN, for that purpose, was placed
in command of twelve companies detached
from various regiments. With Company
G, Second Minnesota Cavalry, deployed to
the front for protection, the other eleven
companies gathered the lodge poles and
all articles left in the camp or hid in the
ravines and woods and burned them.
From the number of poles, Col. MoLAREN
estimated the camp to have contained
1,4OO lodges. Among the Indian stores
collected and burned were tons of buffalo
meat, dried and packed in buffalo skins,
and large quantities of dried berries, and
tanned skins of buffalo, elk and antelopes,
with brass and copper kettles, saddles,
&C., in large number. Finding that more
than one day would be occupied in hunt
ing up what the Indians had hidden in the
woods and ravines, Col. MoLAREN caused
fires to be started in the brush, which,
spreading rapidly into the timber, drove
concealed Indians up the mountains, who,
in their hurry to get away, left dogs and
ponies tied, some of which were secured by
our men. During the time the camp was
being burned, the Indians hoisted white
flag on the mountain side, but Col. No
LAREN did not consider an Indian flag of
truce worth noticing.

duous, but on the whole convincing. Press.
The PIONEER has proved by Mr. DON
NRLLY's record that he is for no Union with
Slavery, and is consequently committed to
an abolition programme. The Press now
admits that the Republican party is an ab-
clifton party. The Press defends Don

General McClellan,s Letter of A..
ceptance,

Ever since the nomination of Gen. No
GILLIAN for the Presidency by the Chi
cago Convention, the Republican press has
been free and gratuitous in its advice to
him not to accept. To effect its purpose
and frighten the General into acquiescence
with its wishes, the Democratic Plat
form has been mutilated, misrepresented,
ana studlously exhibited as one in favor of
peace upon any terms. This was the last
0alu 'ne Administration could hope to play
WIN any chance of success. If NOBEL
Ian rum ABRAHAM LINCOLN was regarded
as beaten man, and every inducement
was accordingly brought to bear upon him
70 procure his refusal to accept. General
MoOLELLAN has perfectly understood the
strategy of the aboltionists, and in let
ter which we lay before our readers. be
accepts the nomination. The letter is
throughout mastery state paper, clear
exposition of policy, glorious exhibition
OF high Christian patriotism. He is for
peace on the basis of the Union and on no
other condition. He. is for the Union at
all hazards and under all circumstances.
He is for peace ,cith the Union, but under
no conceivable circumstance is he for peace
aoithout a Union. He is for the old Union.
one and indivisible, now and forever.
General MCCLELLAN accepts and the
country is redeemed. General MoCLEL-
Lam accepts and the hosannah Of nations
salvation ascends from every hilltop, and
echoes through every valley on this beau
tiful Sabbath day. In that one sentence
our destiny is achieved, our Constitution
saved, our Union preserved.
