ADJUTANT GENERALS OFFICE,
ST. PAUL. MINI, March II, 1864.
GENERAL ORDERS, NO. 8.
Having. thus far, been able to procure the
proper credits for but small number of the
citizens of Minnesota who have enlisted in the
military organizations of other States, owing
in great measure to the fact of our not being
able to give the proper spelling of the name of
the volunteer, and designation of his company
and regiment; in order, therefore, that we
may be enabled as far as possible to overcome
these difficulties, it is recommended:
l. That Supervisors of towns, and Common
Councils OF cities will procure and forward to
this Office, by mail OF other safe conveyance, at
the earliest day practicable, afiidavits in refer.
ence to such volunteers, who are not known to
be already credited to some portion of the
State.
II. Such atfidavits must give the full name
of the volunteer, correctly spelled, and if his
name is known to be incorrectly spelled upon
the muster roll OF his company, such fact and
such spelling should, likewise, be given, toge.
the regiment and company in which he en-
listed, and the State under whose auspices the
same was recruited.
III. Each affidavit must contain statement
that the volunteer was citizen, or actual resi-
dent of the town claiming him, together with
such known facts as 60 to support that con-
clusion, such as the length of time he was
such resident, his having voted Or paid poll tax
in the town, his having left his family therein,
their having received assistance from the town,
&c.
Nv. A separate affidavit must be made for
each volunteer claimed and written upon one
half sheet of legal, or foOlscap writing paper,
neatly folded, with the name of the town max
ing the claim, the name of the volunteer, and
designation of his regiment and company
plainly written upon the back.
V. All such affidavits must be filed in this
Office on or before the 10th day of May, 1864,
after which time, abstracts will be made out
for the several States in whose organizations
such volunteers may have respectively enlisted,
and such abstracts forwarded to the Adjutant
Generals of such States for comparison with
respective bureaus.
The names of all persons certified to by such
Adjutant Generals as having enlisted from this
State, will be submitted to the Provost Mar
shall General of the United States, and if by him
found correct, they will be accredited to the
towns establishing their right thereto. While
we will thus secure credit for large number
of volunteers, otherwise lost to the State and
the towns, yet it is not to be expected that full
credit can be obtained for all that is justly our
due, as the records in the offices of the several
Adjutant Generals, do not in all cases contain
an exhibit of residence.
BY order the Commander-in-C Chief.

Mobile and is Defenees.

Cffioial news has been received at Wash
ington, giving assurance that all things
are progressing favonably at Mobile. Fort
Morgan, it is said, still holds out; but the
larger porti,n of our feet has passed it to
Gaines. Fort Morgan is said to mount
I32 guns, consisting of riAed guns, and
smooth-borzs of the hrgest ealibre. p
Mobile has defeRces on the south, west,
and north. The Alabama river, and the
defeuces on Pintos Island, and the forts as
the mouth of Mobile Bay, are considered
the fortifeations on the esst. In this cir
Gle of defences, running from the bay on
the south to the Alabama river on the
north, there are thirteen forts. These are
earUu-s.s.. ----l,.U - SAID, were construct-
ed by the best engineering talent in the
south. Owing to The peculiar conforma-
tion of the ground, these earthworks are
not constructed in such manner that the
capture of one fort does not give any ad-
vantage as it is commanded by other forts.
There are, consequently, weak points in the
line. If these defences are attacked by
land force, we shah see whether their
boosted strength and extent are only rebel
croaking or not.
Within the harNor, the rebels still have
a feet Of gunboats, carrying sixty guns,
but not very formidable, if once they come
in contact with Farragut's war dogs.
The distractions in the harbor, about
three or four miles from the city and ex-
tending from the east to the west shore of
he river, are similar to those between
Forts Gaines and Morgan. Here it is that

The fact that Mobile is in great danger,
s evidenced by the fact that the Copper
lead sympathizers of the North, such as |
Druid, are endeayoring to disparage the
7alue and importance of Mobile to the |
ebels. But this is certain, that the cap
ure of Mobile will result in splitting the
once more.

who recently arrived from the 'front.' We
learn of deeds of heroism, and the extraor-
| dinary achievements of brave non-com-
missioned officer of that regiment, who
we are sorry to say, died of his injuries, and
his remains lie buried in the 'sacred soil"
of Virginia. The facts in the case come
well authenticated, and from such a source
that they cannot for moment be disbe-
lieved, as ineredulous as they may seem.
On the llth of June last, during the raid
Of Gen. Sheridan towards Gordonsville.
Capt. Hastings, with a battalion of the 5th
Cavalry, was ordered to charge on a sta.
ton, but on Sheir way thither he overlook
lengthy train, and Immediately sent back
word that effect to Gen. Custer. In the
meantime the rebels, disturbed by the near
approach Of the Union troops, commenced
a first class skedaddle. The pursuit was
kept up for quite distance, and Capt.
Hastings and Sergeant Phillips, of Con pa
ny d, in the excitement became tempora-
rily detached from the main body, and rode
considerably in advance. The former lost
his sabre, and used his revolver to a good
advantage. Sergt. Phillips rode into the
midst of body of rebel cavalry, who were
in full fight, and sabred right and LETT
Although the rebels showed fight several
times, this daring Sergeant kept on using
his weapon with deadly effect and after
riding about mile he had succeeded in |
dispatching 20 of the enemy.
Repeatedly he was called back; but not |
hearing, or probably not caring to heed |
any such order he kept on in his deadly |
work. He never demanded a surrender. |
but every time he struck he split a rebels |
head in twain. After the train had been |
captured, Captain Hastings was riding
along, when he discovered wounded SOL |
der lying in the middle of the road, whom
he recognized as the daring Sergeant, who |
y short time before had been riding by his
side, doing such terrible execution He
was shot through the thigh. Two COM
rades were ordered to dress his wound
which they did, after carving him short
distance from the road. Tho poor fellow.
however, gradually sank INTO that sleep
which knows no waking-in a brief space
of time he died. His remains were left on
the Geld covered with blanket, and were
subsequently buried near the spot.
The next day; as our troops were passing
over the same ground, they found several
caps of dead rebels, all of which were cut
through to the brim, it is supposed by i
Philips sabre. Such heroism as thisis sell
dom witnessed, and although his friends
may mourn his loss, they have the assur-
ance that be nobly did his duty.

Capt. Hewett has been intrusted with the
construction of the fortifcations for The de-
fence of Louisville. He has now some two
hundred laborers at work, and aceessions
are daily being made to his fatigue corps.
We are assured that the work viii be push
ed to rapid completion. 1'he plan is very
extensive, and, when finished, the work
viii prove quite formidable. We under
stand that a force of two thousand contra
bands will shortly be employed upon the
defences. A large amount of labor is to be
performed, and it viii require several
months to do it. When the work is COM
pleted, we will have the satisfaction of
knowing that Louisville will be one of tho
best fortified cities in the Union. We will
then no longer start with alarm and trem-
bic at the rumors of rebel raids into our
State, but, safe behind our defenees, an air
of security will pervade the city, and We
will mock at all hostile demonstrations

The Chicago OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
for Unity.

No political party was ever made up Of
such conglomerate materials as now com
pose the opposition party. The party tao
tics and party machinery Of that orgahiza-
tion have been like net thrown into the sea,
dragging all sorts of wriggling thing sto the
shore. The party to meet at Chicago, is
mainly composed of that portion Of the
Democratic party, which in the beginning
Of the war, had virtue enough to plant
itself on the side of Liberty and Union, but
which gradually, by reason of party pref
udices, got sloughed off and back again in
totbeir previous sympethies with the South
Those of the old Democratic party who
identified themselves with the war, have
been thoroughly transformed in their feel
ings, and now have as little sympathy with
the prevalent sentiment of the Democracy
as they have with the rebels- Rl1t the re,
mAInderi emoHtered oy the WoundinS OF
old party jealousies, chagrined and morti-
fed at defeat, aHd frightened at the pros
pect Of serving in the army themselves, are
welded together by one common feeling Of
hatred for the present Administration. In
ADDITION to these of the old Democracy,
there are to be added all that class of men,
who, for various reasons, have been switched
of from the Union party, to the different
kinds of opposition which have been en-
gendered in the progress of the war.
All these heterogeneous elements are to
be combined at Chicago, in the nomination
ofa candidate, and the adoption of plat
form of principles, if the chemistry Of po-
litical chicanery can accomplish such an
object. Men who are violently bowling for
Peace and unconditional surrender to the
rebels; men who -prste- of State Rights
here in the North, as is done in Charleston
or Richmond; men who worship Vallan-
dighan, and have 4 mortal hatred Of the
Niger; men who regard every dollar spent
in the war as robbery, and every life lost
as murder; men who, preferring party to
principles, and who are ready to nominate
a professional war man, without adopting
any platform; men of all species, ranging
from a class Of comparatively respectable
loyalty, to a class of questionable LOYALTY
are to be brought together and union of
these conflicting elements to be achieved.
In order to accomplish so difficult task.
the Democratic Press are preaching vio-
lently upon the necessity Of union. They
admit that there are soids differences Of
opinion as to the candidates and principles
to Be adopted, but yet urge upon the faith
ful, the necessity Of union.

platform at Chicago will be one ofthe most

plished.
