County school superintendent,

A law was passed at the last session of
the legislature authorizing the appoint
1uent by the Board Of Commissioners of
any county, at their option, OF a County
Superintendent of Common Schools. We
are glad to learn that the populous county
of Goodbue has elected r. j. W. HAM
COCK as County Superintendent, and
Steele County, Mr.. A. A. HARDWOOD. Mr..
A. B. STIoKNEy has been elected Superin-
tendert of the Washington county schools.
The above are all that have yet been re-
turned to the State Superintendent, but it
is believed all the larger counties, will
eventually adopt the system 1t has every
thing to recommend it to those who are
interested 10 education.

Capture Of "A Railroad Train by
Rebels.

From the Louisville Democrat.
vi late we have published frequent re-
ports OF the congregation of different guer-
iil.a bands in our State, and intimated
that their intention was raid on the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad. On
yesterday the train from this point to
Lebanon was captured by squad OF
eighty men under Capt. Bennett. The
train bad left this point with good load,
and upon reaching New Hope, u point
seven miles from Lebanon, it was fired
upon by party of men under Capt. Ben
nett. who claims thai he belongs to Nor
CANS brigade. In the firing upon the
train one of the guard was MORALLY
wounded, and another was slightly wound
e3. The guerrillas, after capturing the
train, set fire to and burned the passenger
cars, but permitted the engine and bag
gage car to 60 to Lebanon The freight
train, which left here for Lebanon. re-
turned Capt. Bennett STATED to the
passengers on the traiu that Morgan,s en-
tire command was in the State. and that
it Was their intention to DESTROY the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad How
much reliance is to be placed ia this re.
port, We are unable to say, but the recent
movements OF the guerrillas in the State
would indicate something of the kind.

Quota Of minnesota.

We find the following in special dis
patch to the Chicago Tribune, from Wash
ington:
The deficiencies of the last call and balance
remaining to be furnished by Wisconsin and
Minnesota. have been adjusted at the Provost
Marshal Generals Office, as follows: Wisc0n-
sins quota 1861; deficiency under former
calls, 1928, making balance of II, Ago remain
ing to be furnished. rrl
MinnesOta's quota is 2.189 deficiency, 1905 :;
makinga balance of 4,579 remaining to be fur
nished; these balances will be reduced by the
number of re- enlisted veterans.
Iowa is in surplus CT 757 over all calls, in
stead of $50, as previously reported.
1t appears that the balance of Minnesota
yet to be furnished is 1910, which will be
materially reduced by veteran re-enlist-
ments. The statement published a short
time ago made our quota to be raised,
5,437.

Marshal of the State has handed us the

The election of DR.. STEWART will be
claimed as great partisan victory, but in
reality it possesses no political significance
whatever. The canvass was conducted
almost wholly on personal and local issues,
which could only be raised for the occa-
sion, and are therefore not likely to gov
ern the action of electors hereafter. We
know that DR.. STEWART in this canvass
explicitly repudiated the doctrines of many
OF his radical supporters, and claimed
that 'he was running as a Union
candidate, not only in name, but
in reality. 1t is useless at this
time to show by what means and
appliances his success was achieved, for
they are we'll known to every voter, and
are of little interest, now that the canvass
is over. He is now our Mayor elect, and
as such we shall pay him due honor, and
at all times extend to him our heartfelt
sympathies, as we really believe they will
be very grateful to him before the expira-
ton of the term for which he was elected.
Unless the temper of the public is radically
changed, be will lose whatever character
he has acquired for good sense, to say
nothing of personal integrity. He will
be held accountable for every head
of cabbage destroyed by stray COW
or hog; every foul smell engendered by
the uncleanliness of his constituents ev-
cry bar-room or street broil all robberies
and thefts from stores or clothes-lines as
we'll as the existence of intemperance
among US, and what is delicately termed
the "social evil" Now, man that has
got all these things to account for is to be
commisserated, especially where the chen
ors are easy" and the emoluments light
Mr.. MoELRATH, the City Justice elect, is
a gentleman of excellent character, and
fully capable of performing the duties of
his Office to the satisfaction of every good
citizen.
Mr.. SHlFFBAUEE, the Comptroller, bears
good name, but we know but little Of
bis capacity. 1t is understood, however,
that Mr.. VAN HAMM will perform the du-
ties OF the office, as he has heretofore
while Mr.. LlENAU was It's incumben5.
Mr. WHITNEY needs no introduction to
our citizens Al! know that he will be a
faithful guardian of the city treasury.

Wall street depends upon having the earli-
est news, and consequently there is not a
leading stock dealing firm in New York
that does not have from one to half
dozen correspondents in Washington,
charged to spare no pains or expense in
furnishing them by telegraph, and gener-
ally in cipher, the earliest intelligence of
any success or disaster in the field, any i'm
portant action of the Treasury Department,
any rumor Of foreign complications-in
short, anything likely to affect the hopes
and fears of the community, which find
their barometer in the wavering of the gold
market. These correspondents are gener
ally men supposed to have tie confidence
of high officials, or access to early dis
patches, and for obvious reasons th.i. en-
gagement is kept as secret as possible.
Last summer one New York banking house
in boastful manner claimed that it could
always have news within an hour after the
President had it; and another was said to
have numbered among its correspondents
the chief Of staff of great army in the
field. Of course the services of such men
are not enlisted without a "considera-
ton - proportiOnate to the risks they
run in furnishing the desired news,
and to the nature and accuracy of the
news itself In general, this g cOnsidera-
ton" depends on what is made out OF
their information. Some are promised a

The Fremont Movement.
The Washington correspondent Of the
Milwaukee Wisconsin saws:

~
1t is useless for politicians to close their eyes
to the movement now being made in favor Of
Gen. Fremont for the Presidency. 1t is gath
ering bulk With every day and is being man
aged with great tack. Your correspondent is
not in this movement and is not champion
of it: but he would keep his eyes open to lit
tie purpose if he did not take note of this fact,
which stares every political observer i'll the
face. The new paper which is the organ of
this movement, the New Mutton, is read here
with great interest, although very bitter in
some of its criticisms of men and politics.
They saw Jessie Fremont never did SO much
inthe way of political work as she is doing
this winter.
tits confidently asserted by men who are by
no means crazy, that the vote OF New York
State may be given to Fremont in the Balti
more Convention. do not think this Will be
the case. but I know there are men whose
opinions are entitled to respect, that do
think So

Visiting Sick Soldiers.

By virtue of an act of the Legislature,
Governor MILLER has appointed DR.. J. H.
MURPHY, late of the Fourth Regiment, an
agent to visit all the hospitals and regi-
ments of Minnesota soldiers in the field,
with instructions to render every possible
comfort and assistance to the sick and
wounded. This is an excellentappointment.
To say nothing of what material comforts he
may be able to dispense to those who may
be suffering from bodily disease, his coun-
tenance and the CHEEKY tones of his voice
will be worth new lease of life to any
who have the concomitant and more to be
dreaded complaint which the doctors call
nOStaIgio, or yearning for home, or de-
preston of spirits from any other cause
The Governnlent Gold Certificates.
The plan which Secretary CHASE has
adopted to comply with the recent act of
Congress authorizing the sale of surplus
gold in the Treasury, is thus described by
the Journal Of Commerce: The Secre-
tary of the Treasury has introduced an
other novel feature in his financial opera
tons, to take effect on and after tomorrow
morning. 1t is species of Communication
for duties at the Custom House. Any
parties who wish may deposit legal tender
notes at the Sub-Treasury at one quarter
of one per cent. below the market price
of gold, and obtain a certificate which will
be received for duties at the Custom House.
We presume that Mr.. Cisco Will have the
fixing of this market price every morning
In less honest hands it would lead to GER
tain corruption, but the Assistant Treasu-
rer will do all that man can do to execute
such trust faithfully The certificates
will be issued in any sums and to any
amount. For instance. depositor wish
ing for gold certificate for $1,000 ascer-
tains that gold this morning was 1851 and
that Mr.. Cisco has fixed 16S for the days
business. He therefore deposits 81 $50 in
greenbacks at the Sub Treasury, and re-
ceives his 600 voucher. Whether the
price established in the morning will be
continued throughout the whole day, if the
street price Of gold should tuc:uate great
ly, carnot yet be told, Mr.. Cisco not hav-
ing decided that point. He will first see
how The plan works in practice, and bind
himself to no positive regulation until he
has the benefit Of experience as guide to
the greatest efficiency OF the SYSTEM"
