Republican State Convention.

The Republican State Central Committee
have called State Convention at Ingersoll's
Hall in this city, on Thursday, the 4th day of
August, to nominate four candidates to be sup
ported for Presidential Electors and three for
Judges of the Supreme Court. The call is
headed g Union Safe Convention but only
those are invited to meet by delegates

platform adopted by the recent Baltimore Con-
ventiOn, with respect to he suppression of the

Petersburg.

The city Of Petersburg, Dinwiddie county,
Va, is on the south bank of the Appomatox
River, twelve miles above its junction with the
James at City Point, and is twenty-five miles
by railway and twenty three miles by turnpike
southeast Of Richmond. Its pOpu' alton in
1854 was $1,000, and was growing rapidly. 1t
was one of the greatest tobacco markets of
Virginia, and contains many ii ne public and
private buildings. Several of its streets are
lined with three story brick houses, giving it
fine uniform appearance. 1t is at the head of
tide water upon the Appomatox, which is nav
igable to the town for vessels of one hundred
tons The fall in the river Immediately above
the town furnishes a splendid water power,
which is employed in several extensive manu-
featuring establishments. The Great Southern
Railway, from Richmond to Charleston, passes
directly through the city. Until this war
commenced, however, there was break of
about mile in the road, in the town, making
necessary a transfer of freight and passengers
from depot to depot. Military necessity"
however, caused the railroad connection to be
perfected and this road, the great feeder

the most important in the Southern Confed-

FROM UTAH.
Trouble among the Saints-.-E pull
sion of a Brother.

From the Desert Ners June /, is condensed
the following interesting points relative to the
career and expulsion of one Brother GIBSON
from the Latter Day Saints. 1t seems that
GIBsoN arrived in Utah on his way to the Ma.
lay Islands in the fall of '49. He was out of
funds, but managed to secure them by lectur-
ing upon Oceanica. In course of time he
sought baptism and was soon Elder GIBSON
He went down to the Pacific coast, lectured at
San Francisco, and was accused of being
Mormon but denied it. Finally he reached
Sandwich Islands and soon made his presence
felt among the natives, and was rapidly making
good thing" out of them, when commit
tee from Utah went on to investigate the Elder.
They found him living in clover, possessing
acres of land by thousands, his sheep by the
same figures, and his horses and cattle.
geese and turkeys in droves. More than all
this, he dispensed Mormon offices and titles
like groceries from . country store. He had
ordained hosts of Kamchamehas subjects as
Apostles, High Priests, Seventies" Elders
and everything else, and even the women re-
ceived from his hands the honors of priestesses
and other titles suggested by his cunning to
touch their veneration, while he touched their
property. Our Mormon delegation visited him
and demonstrated with him, but he could not
see it, and suggested to them the propriety of
speedy departure. Z few hints of lynch law
by the newly converted natives accelerated
their departure.
The Neacs, the Mormon organ tins consoles
The brethren:
It is not the first time in the history Of this
movement that we have known of dark DAYS
in distant missions; but we need not tell the
Saints that tho sc days have gone past forever
Il il with much satisfaction that we can look
back upon the past and contemplate through
what the Church has passed and see to-day the
certain overthrow of evil. Men in their weak
ness. their folly and their pride might ten. fif-
teen twenty or more years ago travel in for
hidden palhs and for a while with compare
tive inpunity cover up their tracks; but to-
day. a 1.-THE Of such nonsense or villainy would
find them out and send them to their legiti-
mate pace quicker than they ever dreamed OF,
and all rejoice that it is so now and cannot be
repeated.

4 Valuable Literary Paper.

The best literary paper of the day is the
Round 7 able, published weekly, at New York.
The success of it's first volume, encouraged It's
publishers to introduce many changes and val
liable improvements in the second Toiume'
which renders it now one of the neatest and
most readable gaze.tes in the country. Its ar
ticles, embracing every department in the lite
rary world, are written with scholarly taste
and neatness and their subjects apply chosen
with view TO please the literary public, while
its reviews of all kinds, are characterized by
their fairness and ability. This paper serves
to supply vacuum heretofore existing in the
Newspaper department of literature in this
country, and aims to avoid the wishy-washy
stories and nOyellettes, that fill most of our
weeklies, and robs them OF all interest to read

To the Editor Of the Pioneer
Permit me TO say to all parents, and to all
young gentlemen and ladies desiring to find
the facilities for procuring liberal education
within our own State, that Hamline University
at Red Wing affords such facilities. There is
an ample course of study and an able corps of
instructors. In short, regular collegiate edu-
cation may be obtained, as complete as at the
older institutions of the land. Rev. Jabez
Brooks, A. NJ, the President, is an accomplish
ed scholar and Christian gentleman, and deeply
devoted to his work. The late commence
ment was season of interest to all who were
80 fortunate as to be present. The attendance
during the past year, Notwithstanding the war,
which took many of the best students, has
been larger than any former year. The ex-
aminations showed thoroughness, and the lite
rary exercises we're highly commendable. The
honorary degree of L L. D. was conferred on
Prof j. G. Blair, of the Ohio University. Miss
Mary c. Eberman completed the ladies' course
and received the degree of L. B. A. Miss r.

The National Situation,

The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Independent and the Ereoi,,o
Post takes view of the national finances
quite the reverse of iiattering. The cid
and intelligent correspondent is an nvete-
rate and radical abolitionist; but he fire.
quently speaks on public affairs witt COM
mendable frankness. What he says has
all the more weight in view of the fact
that gold, instead OF rising 200 has gone
far beyond, and everything we cat, drink
and wear follow it up. We quote:
The premium upon gold is rising rapidly 10
200. the treasury IS empty, the revenues Of
Government will not cover One-haf of the
current expenditures. Congress goes on pass
ing bills which make vast appropriations, the
salaries OF officials are increased and there is
M obstinate determination TO let theState banks
alone and what seems to be cOwardly fear Of
adopting radical changes in the rates OF taxa.

and refuse to believe that the country is in
danger of great distress. the whole frame
work Of society is shaken TO It's centre by the
alarming imitation of the currency 1t is not
the part of courageous craftsmanship to hide
these facts, or to claim that the country is
prosperous when it is not. Hence. | frequent.
hear hat Mr.. Chase, when asked by his friends
OF the condition of the country. and especially
of the condition of the national finances gives
them a reply which sends them away despon-
ding.
1t is the first step toward reform TO convince
Congress and the people of the dangers which
surround us. We have been so long accus
toned to boastful falsehoods respecting the
condition of national affairs, that it is a very
hard task to convince Congress that we are in
danger of q vast and destructive currency pam
ic. Yet such is the truth. And while honor
able " Conservatives" in Congress are afraid to
double the taxes, lest the people shall become
dissatisfied, the depreciation In the curren ~ is
bringing distress to every door and dishearten-
ing loyal people. There is time enough vet
to rescue the government from the financial
dangers which surround it. 1t is in the power
of Congress and the Secretary of the Treasury
to reduce the volume Of currency ailoat. and
to avert its further depreciation, But to ac-
cOmplish such q result immediate action is nee
essary.
Gen. Grants Virginia campaign will last for
several weeks yet and it need not surprise any
one if it should not be successfully concluded
till autumn This fact need not affect the
finances, and it would not if there was not
redundant currency. General Grant is doing
well. The great battle is yet to be fought,
though twenty eight thousand wounded sol
diers have already come up from his army
since the present campaign opened.

Injustice TO White Troops

The New York Times OF the 21sG, has
the following timely caution to certain
newspapers who have landed the conduct
of the black troops and disparaged our
brave white soldiers:
We submit to some OF our contemporaries
that it Is not necessary TO disparage the char
acter of our white soldiers in order to give the
colored troops their just praise. We notice in
one or two city Journals special mention made
OF the fact that in some instances not cOlored
soldier 1inched. while the whites " skulked"
Ii is quite possible that in individual cases this
may have been true; but it is absurd to cite
them a5 evidences of the superiority of negtoes
over our own soldiers. Nothing is TO be gained
in any quarter by such misrepresentation
while gross and objectionable injustice is done
to Us brave troops as ever fought for inst
cause anywhere on the face of the earth.
Nobody grudges word OF praise for the
negro troops which they honestly deserve.
Whenever they do better in battle than is
expected of them, it is but fair that they
should receive credit in reports of COM
handing Generals, provided always that
the valor OF the white soldier is not un-
justly sighted by omissions, or by invidi-
GUS comparisons. But fulsome laudation
of the negro at the expense of the white
soldie. is quite another matter. 1t is nau-
seous and intolerable; and, if indul led in
to any extent by radical war correspond
ents and newspapers, must produce an in
tensity of dislike on the part of white to-
wards black soldiers, which will have bad
effect in al army operations where the
latter engaged.
The radicals, who originate these stories
for well known political objects, will find
that they are handling weapon which
cuts both ways; for nothing would be SO
likely to bring about tremendous reac-
ton against negro troops and their injudi-
cious eulogizers, as this class of outrageous
lbels upon the white soldiers of the re-
public.

The Chicago Tribune contains letter
from disappointed adventurer of small
capital in brains and morey, which is full
of ridiculous and spiteful talsetoods, and
sneers concerning St. Paul and it's citi-

St. Paul is not pre- eminently parioic city,

st. Paul is full of copperheads, as your cor

lots are very low now; you can buy o lot two
miles-only too miles-from the Post Office. on

We are sorry to have A. J. G. dissats-

perhaps in some small towns of Illinois -

three hundred dollars, expecting to buy
