There must have "cracked noble heart"
when Commander FLUssER was killed on the
deck of his own vessel in North Carolina. He
was born in Maryland, and received an appoint
ment in the navy from Kentucky on the 18th
of July, 1847. Since that time he has perform
ed no less than fourteen years of active service,
nine-tenths of which were at sea. He was at
tached to the frigate Savannah, under Commo-
dore SALrER, in 1916, g, Y, and when the war
broke out, refusing to resign, the Government
gave him command of the brig Dolphin, which
was subsequently sunk at Norfolk. HoLL1Ns,
who thought to steal the Susquehanna for the
rebels, wrote to him to join his ''native South, !"
and the following note was sent back, by that
rebels messenger:
DEAR CARL shall never do it. What be one of
the very first to fire on the fag2 Not l. have NO
appetite for argument tonight; my heart Is sick.
Is it net enough to drive an honest man ont of Els
senses to find thieves making great nation destroy
itself; Where are your wits man? How can this
business endf In "peace" and "slavery." The
end may inaugurate an era Of blood unparalleled
VIII the South be whipped by the Northi Not
whipped by the south? Not while the Alleghanies
rise above level land just look, then, at the proe-
pect Blood, rapine des0lation, war! Rollins,
.Thou can'st not shake thy CORY locks al me
And ray, did IT,"
Yours in Union,
c w. FLUsSER.
Would that the conspirators, who plunged
the country into this 81 era of blood /" had but
the same vision of the future! 1t has proved
all but prophetic.

The Sioux Reservation.

In answer to enquiries of Senator WILKIN-
SON and Representative WINDOW, the Commits.
sioner of the Land Office returns the following
rather Indifferent reply:
GENERAL LAND OFFICE, April 4, 1864.
SIR: Your letter of the goth ult., referred by
two questions prOpounded by D. G.. Shillock,
Esq, viz:
LIST. When will the Sioux Reservation be
open for settlement?
2rd. Will there be any arrangement to Sc
cure to the people, who have settled ON these
claims years ago under q mistaken survey of
the same their homesteads?
In reply have the honor to inform YOU that
the act of Sd March, 1868, (Stat. Vol. IL, page
S19) for the removal of Sioux bands of fndi-
ans, and for the disposition of their bands in
Minnesota, requires certain preliminary pro-
ceedings on the part of the Secretary of the
Interior in order to the final disposal of said re-
serve, which when completed will be subject
to entry on certain conditions. As yet, how
ever, this office must pause until advised of
the action of the Secretary of the Interior in
the premises.
As to the rights of parties who have settled
before the survey of the Reserve, or under
vance, can be expressed by this office, but
where the matter in actual cases comes before
this office, the same will carefully be examined
with view to such suggestive remedies as the
law and facts of the several cases may seem to
justify.
Very respectfully your obt servant,
J. NJ. EDMUNDS,
Commissioner
Hon. VIM. WINDOW, House of Reps.

THE WEEKLY PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT

his feet, his hands stretched and nailed TO the
crossbeam. His legs were fastened to the cross
with an iron chain, and his arms bound around
with cords, and on the cord around his waits.
was inserted 9 piece of wood, on which was
written his name and offence; q similar piece
on his right arm contained his SENTENCE
namely to remain day and night on the cross
until he died: another on his left arm had the
name of the Judge, with his title and officers.
The criminal was nailed to the cross inside the
Yamun in the presence of the magistrate, and
then carried by four coolies to one of the prin-
cipal thoroughfares leading from the cities,
where he was left during the day, but removed
at night inside the prison for fear of his friends
attempting to rescue him, and again carried
forth at daylight in charge Of two soldiers. He
was crucifed at noon on Wednesday, and Mr..
Jones conversed with him at five O'Clock in the
evening. He complained of pain in the chest,
and thirst. On Thursday he slept for some
hours when the cross was laid down within
the goal compound. No one was allowed to
supply him with food or drink, and during the
day there was quite a fair in front of the cross,
people being attracted from distance, and the
swectmeat vendors driving large trade. On
Saturday he was still alive. when to TaOtal was
appealed to by foreigner to put an end to the
wretches sufferings, and he Immediately gave
orders that vinegar should b. administered,
which he expected would produce immediate
death; but the result was otherwise, and at
sunset, when the cross was taken within the
goal, two soldiers, with stout bamboos, broke
his legs, and then strangled him.

Generals Blair and schench.


The remarkable correspondence in our tele-
graphic news, suggests the inquiry, how Gen.
erals ScnENcK and BLAIR have retained their
seats in the present Congress. in direct contra
vention of the first Article OF the Federal Con-
stitution, which says that
No person holding any Office under the Uni.
ted States. shall be q member of either house
during his continuance in Office
The President, in his message to the House,
last week. in answer to inquiries concerning
ScurNCK and BLAIR, distinctly confesses the
existence OF secret verbal understanding be-
tween himself and these officers to evade the
above clause of the Constitution. Neither of
these officers surrendered his commission, but
continued to hold their offices, and both of
them might. if they had been so disposed
have drawn full pay as officers of the United
States and as Members of Congress. Under o
similar arrangement, the Halls of Congress
might be filled with army officers, as really un-
der the pay and control Of the Executive as
any officers of the United States serving under
him anywhere. The evident intent of the
clause of the Constitution quoted, was to Sc
cure the independence of the legislative branch
of the Government. The bargain between the
President, ScHENCK and BLAIR, was simply a
bargain to defeat that intent, by permitting
the military dependents Of the Executive to
take part in the deliberations of the House.
Though SCHENCK and BLAIR unbuckled their
spurs at the door, the Executive had pledged
himself to strap them to the heels Of his
faithful Knights again when they passed out
the Hail.

The Governors Proclamation.

While due commentator will be extended
to the motives which Influenced Gov. MILLER's
appeal to the people of the State to raise the
eleven hundred men now deficient on our quo
to, by voluntary enlistment, it may be set down
as fixed fact that it viii be unheeded in dis
tricts where the greatest deficiencies exist, and
wholly fail of accomplishing the object
designed. If. under the impulse of the
extraordinary bounties rendered by
the government, and extended from time
to lime during season when labor was not in
great demand, and the terrors of the draft were
staring them in the face, the deficient districts
were unable or unwilling to raise the number
of men required of them, it cannot be expect.
ed they will do so now when all pecuniary in
ducements are withdrawn, and the draft, in
stead of being an object of terror and aversion,
has been made by the authorities at Washing
ton such a contemplate farce that the veriest
coward in the State would not bulge an inch
or give dollar to gain an exemption from its
operation.

The Land Grant.

We learn from Mr.. WILLIAM l. BAN
MING, who returned from Washington on
Sunday, that the Senate bill granting lands
to the Lake Superior and Mississippi Rail-
road Company was materially amended in
the House Of Representatives. The name
of this company was stricken out, and the
grant was made to the State, to be dis
posed of by the Legislature-the land,
however, to be applied on a railroad from
81. Paul TO Lake Superior. A strong
effort was made to strike est. Paul " as
starting point out Of the bill, but it was
unsuccessful, and the Legislature win be
bound by the terms of the grant. There
was another amendment for branch to
the town of Superior. We have not learned
that these amendments have been acted
on in the Senate.

STATE OF MINNESOTA, EXECUTIVE DEp'r)
ST.. PAUL, May 3, 1864.

STATE OF MINNESOTA, EXECUTIVE Drp'r.l
ST.. PAUL, May 8, 1864.
To the People Of Minnesota:
The discovery and corrections of sevara,
omissions in the account of the Provost Mar.
shall General with the State of Minnesota hos
materially reduced the number of men dine 70
tht General Government.
The balance now established by that Depart
ment is about eleven hundred, and Lieut. Col.
Averill, the A. A. Provost Marshal General. has
imperative instructions to draft this deficiency
from the towns that are in arrear.
1t is probable that he will not be in readiness
to execute this order, until about the eighth or
tenth instant; and meanwhile earnestly. en-
woke, from such towns and districts as are
known to be deficient, the most untirlng effort
to furnish for the old Minnesota Organizations
the said eleven hundred men.
We shall thus encourage and cheer our gall
liant soldiers who are already in the field, rem
der efficient aid to the Government of the
United States, and avoid the stigma and morti-
fcation of draft

What Became Of a Super-loya
Provost Marshal.
