Sinking Of the Teeumeeh At Mobile
HAfbOr.

Sinking Of the Teeumseh at Mobile
Harbor.
Regarding the sinking of the gunboat
Tecumseh at Mobile Harbor, the papers
give the following card, signed by Charles
T. Langley, Acting Master; Gardner Cot
terel, Acting Ensign; Samuel Shinn, Gun
ner's Mate; Patrick Gould, Quarter Gun
ner; William O'Brien, Seaman; Frank
Cozzens, Seaman Richard Collins, Ordi-
nary Seaman and Peter Parker, Lands
man.
After stating that the account of Mr..
Conley, previously given, could not be-
correct, as that gentleman was forty-6ve
miles from the place when the event oc-
Cured, the card goes on to say:
On the morning of the 9Th of August,
signal was made by the flagship Hartford
to the whole feet to advance on the rebel
Fort Morgan, the Monitor Tecumseh tax
ing the lead. We threw two shells at the
fort when we were mile Off Our guns
we're then reloaded with solid 15-inch
shot and charge of forty-6ve pounds of
powder. We did not fire more than two
shells at the fort, but were reserving our
next broadside for the rebel ram Tennessee.
When about abreast Of Fort Morgan an
order was given to 60 ahead at full speed.
Our gallant Captain intention was to butt
the ram and fire two solid shot at the same
time, but ere he could give orders to re-
volve our turret, torpedo Internal MA
chine exploded under US, causing the water
to rush up into the boiler deck and turret
chamber, where nothing brt confusion and
despair reigned. The gunners, crew and
those that were in the pilot house succeed
ed in getting out before she settled down
beneath the waves. We had three boats
towing alongside, two of which we're i'm
mediately filed, but were swamped. We
succeeded in cutting the painter of the
third one, and commenced to pull as best
we could to the feet.
We succeeded in picking up two of our
ofticers-Mr. Langley and Mr.. Cotterel
After pulling for an hour, we reached one
Of our small tug boats near Sand Island,
from which We were transferred. As far
as We can learn, there have been twelve
more of our comrades saved Twelve are
in the feet in the bay, and four prisoners
in Fort Morgan.

indication of that dividing Of the North

SIR: have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of communication from the Secretary
of War, dated the 21st inst, informing me of
my promotion TO the position OF brigadier-
general of volunteers.
This appointment / decline to accept. In
order that my motives for so doing may be
clearly understood, will state that when those
who administer this government re-adopt the
original intention of I Prosecuting this war for
the restoration of the Union, l, together with
hundreds of officers, and thousands OF men, at
present out of service, will be found ready and
willing to return. Until such time consider
the post Of honor to be the private station.

ACTING ASST Provost MARSHAL GENERALLY
OFFICE, ST. PAUL, Mimi.
Aug. ~, 1864.
To the Editor Of the Pioneer:
Some questions have been asked through
your columns concerning the propriety of hold.
ing men to service under the draft who are not
susceptible of enlistment by their voluntary
acts.
1t is but justice to the Surgeons and Boards
Of Enrolment of the two Congressional Dis
tricts Of this State to say that their action has
been based upon orders received from the War
Department which are SO positive and concise
as to permit but very little if any discretionary
power.
While it may seem unequal and unjust to
draft man into service who has been refused
the right to enlist yet it is nevertheless the law.
BY reference to the annexed telegram just
received from General Fry in answer to my
special inquiry upon this subject the cause for
this distinction may be understood. 1t is un-
questonably true, and fact known to military
men that when soldier becomes diseased or
disabled, the same principle which must govern
in his discharge from, could not apply in re-
ceiving him into the military service. A man
may be rejected as a recruit on account of some
special disability which could not be sufficient
cause for discharge when once in service.
Many men become partially disabled while in
service who are not subjects for discharge, but
who can always be used as clerks, orderlies,
teamsters, and for many other purposes equal
ly as beneficial to the serviee as could those of
perfect physical ability.
When man volunteers government especial
ly with the inducement offered by bounties) ex-
poets him to perform all the duties ola soldier
however hard they may at times be, and of
course expects all able bodied men. But the
drafted men as stated in special orders per-
tanning to this subject is already in the service,
and can be discharged only under the rules and
regulations which govern in cases of examina-
tons for discharged volunteers. Hoping this
brief examination may remove any erroneous
ideas of citizens concerning the order of the
Board,
Iremain very respectfully. yours,
JNO. T. AVERILL,
Lieut. Col. 4. A. P. NJ. Gen. MINI.
TELEGRAM FROM GEN. FRY.
To Lieut.. Colonel AvRR1LL, st. Paul:
By telegraph from Washington, Aug. 25, 1854.
The examination of volunteers viii be gov
erned by the regulations for the volunteer re-
cruiting service. The examination OF drafted
men by paragraph eighty-fve,. 1851, regula-
tons OF my bureau. The principle in the two
cases is not the same. In the first case men are
examined on application to enter into the ser
vice. In the second they are already in service
BY draft and are examined with view to dis
charge from service. The rules for the two
purposes are not identical.

The Deaf and Dumb Institute for the
State of Minnesota commences its next
term on the second Tuesday of September.
There is only one term per annum, extend
ing from September to June. There were
ten scholars the last term, some of whom
when they entered the Institution were ig-
norant of almost everything-their minds
almost a perfect blank. Within five
months they were able to write letters
home to their friends. 1t is expected the
next term will open with twenty scholars.
The Superintendent, Prof KINNEY is an
accomplished teacher, and as all deaf and
dumb persons residing in this State ofsuit-
able age and capacity to receive instruc-
ton, are by law entitled to be received
and instructed in the Institution, free of
charge, parents will be negligent of duty
ifthey do not allow their unfortunate off
spriRg to avail themselves of the opportu-
nifty thus presented for education.

y There has probably been no drought
in the Last quarter of century, that
has extended over q greater section of
country than the drought of the present
summer. y It has extended all over the
Eastern, middle and Western States,
and many Of the Southern States
The States south of Kentucky and
Virginia, have had an abundance of
rain, All the States north of that line
have been more or less burned by that
drought 70 We, learn also that the
drought o,has extended oton California,
where they say they have had little or
no rain for the spaeeof two years >
e The effect of So widely extended .
drought must be to diminish all Q the
crops. In some sections the wheat is
very much injured, and in Others, the
corn crop is burned out. as IN. Mary

the coming year. IT will be- borne in
mind that the next season is the period
ical seventh simmer When the lakes
show great rise of water, and also the
westernriYers. In 1853 we had spring
and summer of almost Continued rain.
1865 is the seventh year when the great
rise in the lakes shows itself A 1t has
been noted in the Western States that
the periodical flood took place every
seventh year. Thus in 1874, 1851, and
in 1858, the lakes and the rivers were
very high. So we may consider this
very dry season prelude TO very wet
one.
There is one advantage Of dry sea-
sons which should not be overlooked,
and that is,.if we raise lcsstin quantity,
the quality is generally better. The
fruits of the earth are reaped in a
sounder condition. This circumstance
should be considered when we, are la
menting the injurious consequences Of
long continued drought
The great drought also extends to
England. The last adyices state that
the hay croplis very short and that the
season has been dryer ,la than an has been
known in many 5esrs.H A AUHgoI
tits also noted that this great drought
has been accompanied BY more contin-
ally hot weather than ever was before
in the Nerthern United. States. The
heats of tropical cline have, been felt
in the States bordering on the st, Law
renee and the Great Lakes.
