The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1864-04-22

!. cB- New York, April l6.---It is said thl
there is no truth in the reported postponemen
ofthe draft, ~ ..
/ cy-Thc Supreme Court Of the United State
adjourned sine die to- day after announcing tn
decision ofa long list of cases.
ey- Thos A. Osborne has been appointe
United States Marshal for Kansas, in place Il
Mcdowell, recently elected Mayor of Leaven
worth, and Geo N. Decosta, of that State, ha
been appointed Paymaster.
gB- The President has approved the act ex
tending for two years from date the time with
in which the State and Territories may accep
the grants of land donation for the establishment
of colleges for the benefit Of agriculture and
mechanical arts. West Virginia is now included
within the limits Of this law.
ly- There are indications in military affair
that the authorities are at least fully alive tt
the Importance of putting the troops into the
army. Officers and soldiers on detached duty
aud furlough, throughout the North, have for
some weeks been hurried to the front. Hard
ly since the war begun has there been such a
scarcity of shoulder straps and blue Jackets in
the North. In few weeks more our whole
force will be in the presence of the enemy.
There is reason to believe that but few regular
troops will be allowed to spend the summer in
mere garrison duty. The important posts and
lines of communication are to be held by the
militia. This policy will give eour active arm
les immense strength, and as they will not, when
all is ready, have to wait long or go farto find
the enemy, we may expect something decisive
before the middle of the summer. .
eB" The left wing 18th Army Corps which
for so long time has only boosted two generals,
has now five. Gen. Dodge commands the en-
tire left wing. Gen. Veatch and Gen. Sweeny
command divisions. The commands of Gen
Stephenson and Gen. Fuller, late Colonel of the
27th Ohio, ara not yet announced. 1t ID sup
posed they will command brigades. -.'
sT- In order to correct erroneous impressions,
it is proper to state that the Presidents order of
March last requires that the accounts OF men
raised by voluntary enlissments be made up to
April 18th, and the draft be made as soon there
nfte as practicable. No authority is given fo'
the assertion that it will take place May lst'
There are more or less necessary and real delays
connected with proper adjustment of accounts

given, serve only to increase the difficulties.
eB~ The steamer Virginia arrived at New
York yesterday, bringing Queenstown dates to
the 3Oth of March, three days later than pre-
vious advices. She brings important news On
he 2sth ult the Prussians attempted to storm
the Danish stronghold, Duppel, but after an
of from five to seven hours, were
to give mp the attempt. Their less
is not stated, but must have been severe, as the
Prussian soldiers, after several failures, refused
TO obey their officers, who urged them to an
other onset The Danish loss was small. It'll
was expected that the conference to adjust the

l2th of April. There seems to be serious
hitch in the French Mexican programme. Max
imillan has apparently just discovered that
there is a possibility of his becoming heir to
the imperial throne of Austria, through the
failure of issue of his brother, the present EN-
peror. AT least such is the assigned reason for
his deferrinp the formal acceptance of the Mex
can crown. There is little doubt that Other
motives have actusted the rostponement, FRI
he Emperor Francis Joseph is only 30, has
,oung wife, and, We believe, an infant daugh-
cr, Any questions arising from dynastic con
alterations would surely have been considered
vss ago, as well as now, hence the poor ex,
,use alleged is merely blind for more eogent
'easons The Mexican crown, under the Infiu'
,nce of these rumors, is fuctuating from day to
lay The Popes health is improving.
