NEWS OF OUR OWN STATE.

THE Henderson Monitor of Wednesday states
that grasshoppers have completely ruined the
wheat in Nicollet county. Vegetables are not
to be thought of, as they have stripped every
thing of that kind clean. They are now even
destroying plums and grapes. Farmers whose
crops have been destroyed by grasshoppers are
coming 10 town, and offering to work WIFI
their teams at less than half the usual wages.

THE LIE Sueur Statesman says the grasshop-

county as far up as Col. Danes farm, and into
the timber, East, as far as Lexington. Where
the grasshoppers have not visited the crops
never looked more promising, especially in the
timber.
THE st. Peter Tribune has the following
item on the grasshopper plague and its effects
The grasshOppers are still on the rampage
in this (Ncollet) and Brown counties. In the
vicinity of New Ulm, the crops have been en-
trely destroyed, and the people thereabouts
feel gloomy enough. Money has suddenly be.

4 Surprise that came near Finding a
Tragedy.
From the New York News.

From the New York News.
A very singular story is current in Brooklyn,
which through the studied reticence Of the
parties concerned and their highly respecta.
BILE connections, has been successfully kept
out of the papers We may, however, without
mentioning names, give the facts for the de-
location of our readers and as a warning to
jealous and overimpetuous husbands. Some
three months ago, a gentleman whom, for con-
venience, we shall call Mr.. L., New York
merchant and resident of Brooklin, became
the husband of a very young and lovely lady,
and the time passed with the happy couple as
blissfulIy as it usually does under such happy
circumstances. Some two weeks ago, MIR. l..
received a summons to 60 to Chicago on some
business which imperatively demanded his
personal attention. With feelings of the deep
est regret he announced his departure to the
fond partner of his bosom, and each lamented
it sorely. However, he started off on his
journey, and expected to be absent sixteen
days.
Arrived in Chicago, he, in day or two, re.
ceived tender epistle from his wife, filled with
tender expressions, and concluded with the as
surance that she had wept ever since her hus-
bands departure. To his great delight MIR. l..
finished up his business several days sooner
than he had expected and with hasty dispatch
returned nome Reaching the end of his jour-
ney some three days sooner than he was eX-
surprise He reached his house just as the
shades of evening were wrapping all objects in
a sort of twilight. Letting himself into his
house with latcn-key, he stole gently to the
apartment where he felt sure he would find the
object he was in search of. He did find her.
But, horror of horrors, under what circum-
stances1 She was standing near a window,
with her back toward him, her head fondly re-
clining upon the shoulder of male companion,
whose arm was tenderly twned around her
waist.
Filled with rage at this unexpected sight,
and with an impetuosity peculiar to his dis
position, lie drew revolver and approaching
his wife, struck her heavy blow on the head.
She turned, screamed, and fell senseless to the
floor. The gentleman at his side turned, and
revealed 10 the gaze of the astounded husband
an old and esteemed friend, and the stepbrother
of his wife. The gentleman's rage immedi-
ately turned upon himself, and with cry of
despair, he pointed the pistol at his head and
fred, the contents inficting slight scalp
wound. Of course the house was aroused, and
the greatest excitement prevailed The injured
husband and wife were carried to separate
apartments, doctor sent for, and policeman,
alarmed by the discharge of firearms. entered
the house to see if anything was the matter.
Mutual explanations and apologies were made,
and in day or two the affair was looked
upon as joke. But it came near being a
serious one.

Third Illinois Cavalry.

The following communication from q
member of this Regiment, We are assured
expresses the sentiments of large ma
jority of the officers and men, who keenly
feel the disgrace that has attached to the
whole body through the disorderly conduct
of a few. The Regiment, if sent to the
frontier, will have ample opportunity, in
its passage through the country, to prove
to the people that the excuses committed
here by some of the men, were exceptional
to its general conduct, and will not again
be allowed to occur:
Fort SMELLING, June u, 1865.
To the Editor of the Pioneer:
desire through the medium of your paper
to say few words in behalf of the Third Hi.
nois Cavalry, which passed through your city
yesterday. We regret exceedingly that few
who are enrolled with us should so far forget
what are the true characteristics of gentle
man or q soldier as to practice base and cow
ardly assaults and vilainous attacks upon the
citizens of your place. We appreciate the
mild language of your paper in abiding to the
facts: but what we wish to say is, that such
by no means constitutes the general character
OF our Regiment On the contrary they are
much opposed 10 such disreputable conduct.
There are few of them that would not will
ingly give their assistance to the punishment
of that class. We hope that during our stay
here those who are entitled to good name
will not be regarded as outlaws.
This is Veteran Regiment. For four years
they have been exposed to the seyerest perils
and hardships of a soldiers life in the South.
They have done the government Invaluable
service. They enlisted and re-enlisted to crush
the rebellion: that is done. and we feel that
Justice to us demands that We be discharged.
But 10y the curious strategy Of officials some.
where, we are here; and are forced to believe
that our heretofore brilliant character is tarn-
ished by few.
Be it always said. to the honor of our off,
GERS, that while they are kind aud generous to
their men, they will never tolerate such pro-
ceedngs. They may in this movement have
Stacked their discipline, trusting. to The honesty
of their men to do right. May justice DE
measured to all, is the ardent wish OF me ma
joriiy. SoADiEn.

ALTOONA, June 14.-Gen. Grant met a

passed on his way eastward. The Grand
Commandery of Knights Templar, now in
session here, formed in line previous to the
arrival of the train. They were dressed
in full regalia and accompanied by splsn-

double columns at the depot in front of the
Logan House, and extended from the track
to the door by which the General was to

distance above the depot to take on COM

the arrangements made for his reception.

thousands, occupied every available foot.

Gov. Miller ana the Late Capt. SkarO

To the Editor Of the Pioneer:
l notice, this morning, in the PIONEER an
article copied from the st. Peter Tribune, re
hashing its old SANDER upon Gov. Miller, for
the alleged outrage" he committed in not ap.
pointing the late Capt. Skaro Major of the 9th
Regt. MINI. Vol. Infantry, some months since.
II the editor of the Tribune and the people of
st. Peter have the least respect for the memo
ry of one of the most gallant and meritorious
officers that this or any other State ever sent
forth to defend the cause of the Union, the
sooner they "dry up" about this matter the
greater it will be to their credit.
Capt. Skaro is dead: he died a noble death In
the hour OF victory, while bravely leading his
command to an assault upon the enemy's
WORKS. Let him rest in peace, embalmed in
the memory OF his comrades who saw him
fall, and of his fellow.citzens at home!
!, But something is due to the living as we'll as
the dead. To accuse Gov. Miller of doing
wrong in the appointment he made, is not only
doing great injustice to the Governor, but is
also making base reflection upon the charac-
ter and honor of the brave and gallant soldier
VINO received the appointment instead OF Capt.
Skaro-Maj. Fl. B. Strait. 1t is also an ignOr-
ant, or petulently foolish charge of un-officer-
ike cOnduct-t0 designate 1t by no harSher
terms-upon the line and portion Of the field
and staff officers of the 9th Regiment, who were
instrumental In calling Gov. Miller's attention
to the error in the regimental record, and to
point out wherein the true record, on file in
the Adjutant Generals Office, would settle the
matter OF dispute in regard to seniority between
the two captains
Who that knows Maj Horace B. Strait will
believe for moment thar he is capable of ac-
ceptlng commission that he is not regularly
entitled to under the rules of promotion as
adopted by our State Executive? Who believes
that the officers OF the Regiment would ever
nave asked his promotion over one so brave,
so competent ard so we'll beloved as Skaro.
unless they had legitimate grounds to ask it
Let the Tribune inform itself OF the facts before
it again arraigns the honor of Gov Miller,
Maj. Strait and the officers of the 9th Regiment
before the bar of public opinion.
MesSrS. Editors, l am not in politics-neyer
will be while in the army-care nothing about
VINO Is Governor, now or hereafter. so he be
competent, faithful and trustworthy Citizen
am not an apologist for Gov. Miller's official
SINS, II he has committed any, and don't pro.
pose to become his OF any other mans cham
plon In the fight that now appears to be brew
ing for the succession" But that he and we
OF the 9th Regiment shall be made to suffer
because he took occasion to disregard wrong
~ made up regimental record and to put
worthy and meritOrious officer in the rank
which military custom and law entitled him
to, is something we don't intend to stand-if
we can help it.

Chaplain Hudson on Ben. Butler

Correspondence Of the Boston journal
NEW YORK, June 6.-Qhaplain Hudson's
pamphlet entitled, GA Chaplain's Cam
paign with Gen. Butler" is making some
thing of stir in these parts, especially in
connection with Gen. Grants order on
Chaplain Hudson's release, which is freely
shown. l have seen certified copy of
the order from Gen. Grants chief of staff,
giving MIR. Hudson permission to make
any use of the order he pleased. In the
order of release addressed to the Secre-
tary of War, Gen. Grant says that Gen.
Butler on leaving the command of the
James, assigned as reason for keeping
MIR. Hudson in confinement that he had
not time to convene court martial, while
it appears from Gen. Buffers own state
ments, Gen. Grant says, that Gen. B. bad
a court martial in the field at the time,
and during Hudson's close confinement.
Another reason assigned by Gen But
ter, Gen. Grant says, was that he (Butler)
being the complainant, could not leave
his duties to prosecute the case. To this
Gen. Grant replies, that the articles of
war made it the duty of Gen. Butler in
such case to have made out his complaint
under oath and sent it at once to his SUI
perior officer, which he failed to do.
Therefore without going into the merits
of the case at all, whether Chaplain Hud-
son was or was not guilty of disobedience
of orders, on Gen. Buffers own showing
he was illegally held, and ordered to be
honorably discharged. These papers from
Gen. Grant and his chief of staff are to be
made public, and I send you the substance

SERIOUS CAsUALrY,-On Thursday eve
ming, Mace Eustis. Esq, of Minneapolis. met
with severe accident, which nearly caused
his death. He went into his stable after dark,
where he had a valuable COW and calf, to sepa-
rate the latter from its dam, when the cow
made ferocioas charge on him, and hooked
him in the neck, the horn goring him near the
carotid artery. The COW then lifted him up,
so that for moment he was suspended almost
on her horn before he could disengage himself.
On getting loose, and fearing that some of
the arteries of the neck were severed, he held
the wound close with his hands, until Drs.
Murphy and Ames could be sent for to dress it.
They found the carotid artery laid bare, but by
miracle, almost, not severed. half an inch
variance in the wound would have caused al
most instant death. Mr.. Eustis is in very
low state, but his physicians hope for his re-
covery, a.wish heartily Joined in by his large
circle of friends.
