movement under Hancock, they said, took the
people by surprise; for it was not known when

through other sources, is to the effect that on

From the sixth Regiment.

We hope the following extracts Of pri-
vate letter of the 18th inst. from an intell-
igent soldier Of the Sixth regiment, will
attract the attention of the officers of the
Minnesota Sanitary Commission, and lead
to some measures whereby our suffering
soldiers at Helena can be made the recip-
tents of share Of the generous contribu-
tons from this State to the parent So
ciety. The writer says:
1.-THE health of the regiment is miserable
There are, am informed, seven hundred and
seventeen CID reported on the sick book,
there being not more than one hundred and
sixty in the regiment reported for duty. The
sickness of the regiment is rapidly on the
increase and something must be done. We
must be taken away from Helena, the most un-
healthy place we could have been sent to.
endeavors with Major General Candy, in COM
mand of the Western Division of the Missis-
sippi, to have Us sent to healthier station to
recruit our exhausted energies. Major Gen.
Dana came up and inspected our post. He was
shown the condition Of the regiment and it is
now sure thing on our being removed to a
better place to do light duty as provost guard
with our quarters in town. 1t is very probable
that we will 20 to New Orleans, may be to
Memphis; viii inform you in case of any
move. 1t is strange the way the Sanitary Com
mission is managed. There are many sick
in the hospitals who, if they had the many lit
tie delicacies said to be provided by the Com
mission, would gain the strength they so much
need. Do you think q sick man wants any
such thing as piece of bareback or slop
called beef soup. They want chicken soup,
mutton broth, corn meal cruel. or canned fruit.
Men have died for the lack of those very ar
ticles the Sanitary Commission should furnish.
Men are lying in the hospitals here at the point
of death almost, that some of those delicacies
might save. There is shameful mismanage-
ment somewhere in the Commission. The
people of the North ought to know this. Not
one-third of the articles provided come to the
western army, at least such is my honest be-
lief Judge by the complaints of men in the
hospitals and my own experience in the regi-
ment

ment of the United States not to compro-
mise with rebels, OR TO OFFER ANY
TERMS OF PEACE except such as may
be based upon an unconditional surren-
der"
ABRAHAM LINCOLN has approved of and

Presidency. Alarmed at the great politi-
cal revolution now progressing in the nor
them States, brought about by his "To

ter, be it remembered, is in perfect accord
with the principles enunciated in the Bal
timore Platform, Mr.. LINCOLN and his CO.
adjutors are now meditsting "peace

acting the effect of this letter. ,s
Mr.. LINCOLN has no honest inten-
ton OF offering. reasonable terms OF
of peace to the South. He cannot do it
without taking back everything that he
has said or written upon the subject since
the war commenced. The whole scheme
is black political contrivance to dupe the
voters of this country, allay the excite
ment produced by the Niagara Falls letter,
and secure if possible another four years
lease OF power to party rotten with cor
ruption and iniquity. The plot will fail,
miserably fail for we have learned to our
cost that &c eternal vigilance is the price

From the Frontier

Gen. SHELLEY received advices the Gath,
that a fresh trail of three Indians was re-
Gently discovered by party oftroops near
Norway Lake, in Monongalia county, and
that one COW had been killed and other
animals wounded in the neighborhood, it
was supposed, by the Indians. This is the
first report of Indians having been seen on
the frontier north of the Minnesota, and it
can hardly be believed that hostile Indians
have ventured there, until they have &C
tually been seen by credible witnesses.
Col. PFGNDRR reports that on Wednesday,
the 18th inst, at about 10 p. NJ, eight or
ten Indians made their appearance in front
of the stockade at the coal mines on the
Cottonwood. They were pursued by six
men from the post and made their escape
in the darkness. The Cottonwood post is
oudside of the line of frontier posts, and
the farthest west of any. Col. PF&NpRR
had sent thirty cavalrymen, under Lieut..
McGRADE, to unite with the scouts from
the head of the Redwood in pursuit Of the
party Of Indians who were discovered near
the Hole in the Mountain. Thirty-two
unassigned recruits have recently been
added to Col. PF4NDER's command.

Governor SEYMOUR in the Journal of that
city: ..I
1t is proper to state that Governor Seymour
is not candidate for nomination at Chicago
and he is utterly opposed to the use of his
name for any public position
There is no public man in the nation
who enjoys the confidence of the conserv.
alive population of the Western States in
larger degree than Governor SEYMOUR,
and his determination not to permit his
name to 60 before the Chicago Convention
will be very generally regretted.

The Chicago Convention.

The Convention which meets at Chicago
on Monday next, will combine a larger
amount of real patriotism, intellectual
ability, and unfeigned devotion to the best
interests of the country, than has been
concentrated or represented in similar
body of men for decade Of years. The
contrast in these respects between the
Democratic and Republican Conventions
will tell so emphatically in favor Of the
former, that any comparison as to the
points indicated would be superhuous.
The Convention will be made up, not only
of intelligent and thoughtful, but of earn
est men who, having regard simply to the
perilous condition of our country, and
being DESTROYS, by the employment Of all
efficient and honorable means, of opening
an avenue of escape from the pressing
evils which beset us, will employ their
talent and their time in the construction
of a platform, and the selection OF rep
resentative man, both of which shall be
acceptable to majority of the American
people. In the prosecution of this bust
ness, the Convention will discard all per-
sonal prejudices in favor of particular
candidates; and acting upon the senti-
ment embodied in the popular political
maxim, principles, not men," will give
to the country the name best calculated to
reconcile unimportant differences of opin-
ion, and platform upon which the peace
sentiment Of differing portions Of the
community can find safe and honorable
footing.
In crisis like the present, it is neither
wise or patriotic to carry our prejudices or
prepossessions in favor of any one man, to
such an extent as to render us blind to the
higher interests involved in the settlement
of unusual and complicated questions. Our
partislity for the man, must sink into en-
tire and utter insignifcance, when weighed
in the balance against condition OF af-
fairs involving the very existence of the
nation and rising to the "full height of
this great argument" we must welcome
with accord and reclamation the names TO
be inscribed upon the banner of UNION
AND LIBERTY.
The Convention will embody in its plat
form an emphatic and indignant protest
against the executive usurpations which
are one by one extinguishing the beacon
light of constitutional liberty, and an indi-
cation of the basis upon which negotiations
tor satisfactory peace can be undertaken /;
and having performed its Office with digni-
ty and ability, its record will pass into his
tory as one long to be held in grateful re-
membrance. ,es94l pa gal roiloAsHa ao1s a
