DESERT OF SAuARA.-Perhaps no more
hopeless enterprise could be undertaken than
to reclaim the great African desert Of Sahara,
where no rain ever falls. and there are but oc-
casional cases to give relief to the weary and
faiuting caravans that traverse it.. Modern
science, however. laughs at seeming impossi-
bilties. Skillful engineers in the French army
in Alsicrs propose to sink Artesian Wells at
different points, with strong confidence that
thus water could be reached and forced to the
surface. In 1860, five Artesian wells had
been opened, around which, as vegetation
tlrives luxuriantly, thirty thousand palm trees
and one thousand fruit trees were planted,
and two thriving villages established. At
the depth of little over FIVE hundred feet.
an underground river or lake was struck, and
from two of them live fish have been thrown
up, showing that there was large body Of
water underneath. The French government
by this means hope to make the route across
the desert to Timbucto fertile and fit for trav-
elsrs, and thus bring the whole overland trav-
el and commerce through Algeria, which will
be one of the greatest ftats Of modern scien-
tic enterprise.

SUSPENDED LIFE.-A scientific German
publication states that among other curiosities.
Dr. Grusselback, professor of chemistry at
the University Of Upsala. has little serpent
which, although rigid and frozen as marble,
can, by the aldo stimulating aspersion, dis
covered by the Doctor, be brought to life in a
few minutes, becoming as lively as the day it
was captured. now some ten years ago. DR..
Grusselback has discovered the means Of be-
nnmbing and reviving it at his pleasure. If
this principal can only be carried ont on man as
we'll as for reptiles, death would lose its en-
pire over mankind, and we should preserve
lie as mum,nies were preserved by the
Egyptians DR.. Grusselback's process is
nothing more, apparently. than simply lower
ing the temperature just to that point where
the cold produces torpor without injuring
any of the tissues. In this state the body is
neither dead nor alive-it is torpid. The
professor has laid his scheme before the Swc.
dish Government, and proposes that con.
demned criminal shall be handed to him for the
purpose of experiment! The Doctor pur.
poses, ifhe can only get his man, to benumb
himas he benumbs his little serpent. for one or
two years, and then TO resuscitate him from
apparent death by his aspersio~ stimulate.

AMERICAN NATioxAlITY.-The present

Of independent States rights. and extirpafed
the hidden death Of the slave power. The

States, or mere partnership. to be dissolved
at will but that It is the organic Law of ma
tionaliiy. adopted by the people of all the

stitu,ion was created and ratified, not by the
States in their corporate capacity, but by the
people Of the several conmonwealihs. in pop.
ular convention, in their capacities of citizens
Of one country. Each person owes immedi-
ate allegiance to the Federal Government as
much as though there were no political subdi-
visions known ns States; and for all the pur-
poses Of national life, each citizen surrender
every right, obligation and individuality, and
consents 60 be merged with the One People !:

the country, listen to the proclamations Of can
non reverberating through the wastes Of

wondrous arc described by the kissing shell
that carrys unquenehabls fire into the citadel
of States Rights. Overlook the devastated
territory of secession with its soulcss ruins,
deep trodden fields and throngs Of widowhood
and orphanage; then turn to the still United
States and count the swarming millions and
hear the undiminishcd hum of manufactures,
the war of commerce aud the sweep of the

alton is everywhere, from the mountain top to

Position Of tie Pioneer in respect to tie
Rebellion, the Administration, and
Politics.
The Pioneer believes in crushing out
the rebellion by any means known to
civilized warfnir, which will accomplish
the result; and in the employment Of
such means, it will not be over-nco or
squeamish as to their character. 1t re
CARDS the rebellion MS gigantic not mere
ly in its proportions, but in its criminal
ty ;'and the 20! cies which will soonest
and most etieciuaiIy end it. and the spirit
which gave it beng, are the politics
which The Pioneer Will most heartily
sustain.
The Pioneer looks upon the Federal
Administration as the only legal or possible
exponent and the agent. during its term,
of the active power of the Gnvernment.-
And, inasmuch as this is crisis in which
the Government can be upheld only by
force. and inasmuch, also, rs the Admin
istration is the only medium through
which such necessary force can pc exerted,
it will support the war measure of the
President and his Cabinet. while the
rebellion continues whether such measures
accord with the preconceivel notions of
lis l. litOr or not. Tie fact is cheerfullv
recognized that the President and his
Cabinet are as patriotic as any men in
the land-that from their positions they
have better opportunities for determining
just policies than any others can have
and that they are weighted with respon
tibilities which compel honest action ON
their parts, and which ought TO compel,
at the same time. the generous sympa-
thies and upbolding bid of the whole
loyal peple. 1t IS not designed however,
that such support by The Pioneer shall
be pIind and sycophantic. 1t reserves the
right of criticism, which is the proper
privilege of the independent journal; and
this it will Away employ at its discretion,
in jult and generous tone, and for Ie-
gitimate aud patriotic ends.
The Pioneer is independent in respect
to party poicies. 1t owes allegiance to no
clique or party organization. 1t supports
the measures and men best approved Of
its judgment. In respect TO the great
national contest of the coming year, The
Pioneer will labor to unite into n sinrle
organization the whole loyal sentiment of
the country, SO that the general voice of
the patriotic masses may be uttered with
out division or distraction, in favor of a
reunited country, of constitution vind;-

The Weekly Pioneer is the only Journal
which started with the organization Of
the Territorial Government. and has sur
yived through all the business and poIili
cal changes of the last fifteen years. For
ten years it has been under Its present
management. The fact that it has thus
been published, without interruption,
when competing enterprises have failed.
iustifies the Publishers in assuming that
IFS general management has been salts
factory to the public. They therefore
propose no essential change for the year
1864. AS heretofore, it will he their
aim to Faithfully represent and support
the interests of Minnesota; and to fur
nish its people with the latest and most
