Lieut.. J. STEWART LIVINGSTON, Second
Minnesota Volunteers, was ordered on the
22d inst. to report for duty to Capt. T. M.
SAUNDERS, Sd o. s. Artillery, Mastering
and Discussing Officer, and Assistant to
the Provost Marshal General, st. Paul.
BY an order of the War Department DIR.
EDMUND G. PUGsLEY, late assistant sur
geon of the First Regiment, has been
relieved from the disability resting upon
him on account of his discharge from the
service, on the decision of general court
martial, and has been allowed to return to
the service.
Private OSCAR F. CHENEY, I'd company
Minnesota Sharpshooters, attached to the
First Regiment, has been furloughed, to
enable him to enter the service of the
United States Military Telegraph Corps.
Private J. NJ. PALMER, company E, 9th
Minnesota Volunteers, has been honorably
discharged, to accept appointment in q. S.
colored troops.
Major DowN1E and several men of the
First Regiment arrived home on Friday
night for recruiting service. We learn
there is some prospect that majority OF
the men of the regiment will re-enlist as
veterans, and furloughs of sixty days will
be given them.
Aletter from the Third Regiment, dated
at I title Rock on the 9th inst, states that
375 men had re-enlisted and it was ex-
pected that, with few exceptions, the whole
regiment would re-enlist. The recruiting
officers in the State have already obtained
about fifty men.
A letter from Col. HUBBARD, of the
Fifth Regiment, to Lieut.. Col. GEEE, states
that the regiment had been transferred
from the Fifteenth to the Sixteenth army
corps. The letter was written before no
tice had been received of the extension OF
the time for the payment of the high boun-
ties to the 1st of March, and Col. HUBBARD
states that, if the bounties were extended
to that time, he thought a large majority
of the regiment would enlist
We learn from the Adjutant Genera
that since the quotas Of the towns were
assigned, there have been over fifty volun.

life of hardest labor, accompanied by
wearing excitement, and without bealtbful
and innocent recreation. And there is
another fact, established by the experence
of Idaho miners, as well as Califorpians
which is, that the chances of success in
amassing wealth in the mines do not actin.
ally exceed the chances of prudent labor
ing men in the older States. Not more
than one miner in ten does well, and not
more than one in a hundred makes a
fortune.
The soil of Minnesota yields its treas
ures to whoever will delve and dig. Labor
brings here a sure reward accompanied
with the benefits of organized society.
And while we know there are many who
propose to go to Idaho who ought to be
restrained as from doing foolish or crazy
act, so we believe there are but very few
in our State who can afford to give up
their prospects hele for the golden but un-
certain promises of Idaho.

The Military Protection Of Overland
Emigrants-

The report Of Captain CRAWFORD on his
operations in conducting an expedition for
the protection of emigrants overland to the
Pacific States and Territories says THE
settlements have extended so far up the
Snake river, on the western slope of the
Rocky Mountains, that the journey be-
tween the eastern and western settlements
is naturally shortened, and the recent es-
tablishment of military posts and camps
leaves but comparatively short distance
for emigrants to travel unprotected. There
was only one instance OF molestation by
Indians last year. From personal obser-
walton of the mines of the Boise river,
Captain CRAWFORD is satisfied that they
are fully equal to any ever discovered in
California, and he has no doubt by next
June there will be within the limits of
Idaho Territory population of ten thous-
and souls.

Receipts into the State Treasury
from Counties.

The Faribault Republican thinks it has
discovered great discrepancy between
the receipts from counties into the State
Treasury, ard their population and wealth.
The case is thus stated.
We find there are but three counties in the
State which have paid as much intO the State
Treasury as Rice county, viz: Dakota. Ohm
sted and Ramsey Olmsted has paid the most
of any county, being 535.62S.93. Dakota is
next. having paid $50 04S,13. Next is Ramsey.
S29,049.5S. All these are larger aud older
counties than Rice. which has paid in $27,-
956.42, only $2.493.16 less than Ramsey
county, with the populous city of St. Paul.
There are several other counties nearly twice
the size and more populous than Rice, which
have not paid near as much. Hennepin, the
most populous county in the State i'll 1860, and
containing two cities, has paid in only $26,
502.30. Fillmore, the next most populous,
and an older settled county, has paid in only
$50, 965 10. GOOdhue. anOtl er large and pop
ulous county, has paid in S22, 907. 26 WinOna,
$21, 66S. is: and washington. the Oldest, as
they claim, settled county in the State, has
paid in S15,441.61. These counties are all
larger counties than Rice, claim to have been
settled longer. vet they fall far behind our
little county in paying revenue into the State
Treasury. Whether property is not valued as
nigh III LnOSc COuGtIcS as III outs. OF WnCCueF
they don't pay their taxes we are not able to
say.
The mistake of the Republican is SIM
ply this /: It has taken the total receipts
from each county as revenue derived from
taxes, instead of deducting the amount
derived from the sale of school lands,
which was much larger in some counties
than in others. The receipts from each
county from taxes are under four heads,
viz: property, poll, interest, and delin-
quent war tax. Upon this basis we find
that Ramsey county has paid into the
treasury $2S, SO3.71 ; the same items in
Rice county produce only $S,752.66-
while the amount received from the latter
county under the head of school fund was
$19,473.75; and from the former only
$5,020.87. We have not taken the trouble
to examine the figures in other counties,
but presume discrepancies in receipts, as
compared with population and wealth,
may be as readily explained.

The Custom. House Traitors.

The strong minded wife Of Mr.. HENRY
B. STANTON has taken up the cudgel in his
behalf, and in a card to GREELEY indig-
nantly repudiates the idea that her hus-
band is guilty of the crimes against him.
THURLow WEED, in a virtuous outburst
upon the robberies of the government at
New York, thus declares his belief in
STATIONS criminality in the Albany JOu,'-
nal:
We have known Fl. B. Stanton from his
boyhood. Nothing short of irrefragablc evil
dence would have satisfied us that, in this
struggle, he would, as an officer OF the gov
eminent, send arms and munitions to the enc
my. But when, after placing his son at desk
by his side, he deliberately and gratultOusly,
in letter to the public. offers up that son as a
sacrifice and scapegOat, we believe him capa-
BILE of committing any crime in the DecaloSue.
And further says I. w.:
Until the administration thoroughly Sits and
probes the iniquities of the New York custom
house, the people will be justified in ,inquiring
whether their treasure and blood shall continue
to flow. by millions and in rivers, while its
own officials are playing into the hands OF the
enemy?
WE learn that the officers and men of
Minnesota regiments, who have been for
some time on recruiting service in the
State, have received orders to join their
regiments without delay. This order, of
course, does not include the Second, Third
and Fourth regiments, who have less than
twelve months to serve, and are allowed
to re-enlist as veterans. The recruiting
business hereafter is to be in charge of the
Provost Marshals, who are authorized to
pay SO to anybody who may bring in a
recruit.
