Col. AvKRI1L has received orders from
Washington to retain all recruits for HAM
COCKS corps, and form them into COM
pany here, before sending them to Wash
ington. The time for recruiting for this
corps has been extended to period not
yet announced. Recruiting officers de-
tailed for this service are to report to the
superintendent of the volunteer recruiting
service for instructions.
There is no organization Of the army that
offers such opportunities for honorable SER
vice and such handsome remuneration forit,
as HANoooR's corps. Let Us look at the lat
ter inducements for moment. Each re-
cruit az soon as mustered in at St. Paul,
will receive bounty of $500, and in addi-
ton, the regular instalments from the
government, in proportion to the period of
enlistment, as follows: 500 for one years
service, one third paid on enlistment;
5000 for two years service, one third
on enlistment; $500 for three years. SER
vice, one third on enlistment. As vete-
ran who has seen two years. service is ex-
empt from the draft, be can get in addi-
ton to the above, as a substitute, from
tive to three hundred dollars for each
each years service, which will make in the
aggregate bounty of over $1,000 for
three years service, and in the same pro-
portion for one and two years The best
arms in the possession of the Government
will be furnished HANoooK's corps, and
when the men are discharged they will be
allowed to retain their arms.

The Peace Movement.

Although we do not anticipate any i'm
mediate practical results from the semi.of-
fetal attempts now making to secure q
basis upon which negotiations for peace
may be attempted, We are nevertheless in
clined, both from our sympathies, and the
conclusions of our judgment, to welcome
all such efforts as political moves in the
right direction. So long as Mr.. LINCOLN
clings to his abolition policy as a sine qua
non in the diplomatic programme, SO long
he veakens the southern faith in any
practical hopes they may have entertained
that return to the Union would secure
to them their constitutional rights. New
ertheless, the seeds now being sown may
hereafter spring up and bear fruit. The
popular mind must be turned away from
war as the oily arbitrament of great po-
litical differences, and become accustomed
to negotiation, and mutual efforts to adjust
our difficulties through peaceful channel,
before such attempts as are now being
made can prove available. They are sim.
ply precursors or forerunners of what may
yet be undertaken on wider scale. The
South is by no means exhausted, although
temporarily paralyzed in her military ope-
rations, and it will require an immense ex-
penditure of men and money to realize the
policy Of complete subjugation. It is not
impossible that Mr.. DAVIS may be playing
game of diplomacy, the tendencies and
objects of which are not spprehended or
fathomed by the radicals. .

Lexislatins the Negro Up and the
White Man Down.

The St. Paul Press, the organ of the
Republican party in this State urges an
amendment of the Constitution to give
negroes the right of suffrage, and at the
same time the passage of another amend
ment taking away the right from white
men, who do not possess, in the estimation
of that highly cultivated and humane
journal, sufficient education to exercise it
intelligently.
Taking partisan view of the question,
nothing would please Us better than to
have the dominant party 60 before the
people at the next general election on an
issue Of this character; but the members
of the present Legislature, if we may
Judge from the personal intercourse we
have had with them, have too much good
sense to be led into such an impolitic
measure, at the instigation of their party
organ. The idea of comforting the privi-
lege of voting on the negro, and at the
same time taking away the right from
white men, because they may not possess
the advantages Of education, could only
have originated in the brain of fanatic
or fool. If he could prescribe the educa-
tional test, it would be, we presume, the
ability of the citizen to read, pronounce
and understand all the jaw-breaking words
in one of his editorials, without the aid OF
WEBSTER unabridged.

South Carolina should be the first to take

Said Mr.. Orr, in the Confederate Con-

This move is not In the hands of timid men.
Sustained, as they are, by the volume of senfi-
ment in the country and army, and BY their
own sense of duty, they are determined that,
in some form, the statesmanship of the conn.
try shall be invoked In an honest effort to end
the carnival Of death by negotiation.

for that Service, and probably 20 to
Pittsburgh direct; thence by rail to tide

Dispatch from Colonel Fry.
Col. AvERnL received yesterday the
following dispatch from the Provost Mar
shal General:
By Telegraph
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23,-44O Pm.
To Col. AvERnL:
The revised quota of the State of Minnesota
under call of December 10, is thirty-six hun.
dred and thirty-six (s,63s). 1.-The apportion-
ment to Districts will be mailed to You from
this Office tomorrow. Notify the Governor.
JAMES B. FRY,
Provost Marshal General.
The quota of the State (S,sS6 men) is
much less than we had been led to expect
from former communications of the Pro.
vost Marshal General. About a month
ago the quota was assigned by him as fol-
lows:
Secono OlstrlcI.. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 3, 567!
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1865-01-27
Total for State


This was such an obvious error as re-
CARDS the quota of the State, and such
glaring injustice to the Second or North
ern District, that no publication was made
of the assignment, and Col. AvERnI i'm
mediately transmitted to the Department
his own figures regarding the number of
men enlisted, the excess of years of SER
vice, etc. which were subsequently adopted
by Col. Fry in lieu of the data upon which
he had based the assignment. Colonel
AvRR11L is entitled, to the gratitude of
every citizen of the State for his efforts to
get justice from the War Department in
regard to a matter 80 vitality affecting
us all.
Although the quotas of the Districts have
not been assigned, we confidently believe
that the quota of the Second District will
not exceed eleven hundred men, and We
think it will not be over one thousand.
Our enrolment is less than the First Dis
trict, and it appears from the books Of the
Provost Marshal that we are in consider
able excess over the First District as re-
CARDS the number of men furnished, az
well as years of service.
When the quota Of the State was first
assigned, everybody was appalled, at its
magnitude, and had no heart to engage in
efforts to aid volunteering. But now that
a large portion of the burden has been
taken of, we hope to hear from every Sec
ton of the State that the people are once
more actively at work filling their quotas
with volunteers.
