GOV. Miilefss Letter.

The following is the letter of Governor
MILLER referred to in the communication
of Mr.. BRIsBN:
STATE OF MINNESOTA,
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
st. Paul, June Fl, 1866.
Hon. John B. Brisbn, Chairman Democratic
State Central Committee, ST. Paul, MINI:
DEAR SIR: In proclamation published in
the papers of this morning, have taken the
liberty to suggest that State Convention fol-
the purpose of organizing Soldiers Home,
be convened at q time to be designated by
yourself, and the Chairman of the Union State
Central Committee.
thought it probable that the political con-
vention of the two parties would meet at
about the same time, and if so, the delegates
thereto might also be appointed to represent
their respective neighborhoods In the conven-
ton to organize Soldiers Home.
If two or three veteran regiments, and
Brackets Battalion remain in the field, dis.
persed as they now are, it will be necessary to
dispatch the Commissioners to receive soldiers
votes on the morning of the 31st day of Au-
gust, and nominating conventions should gov
ern themselves accordingly.
Very respectfully yours,
STEPHEN MILLER

Fire at K"iia, Missouri

ST. LOUIS, June ~. "A telegram received at
Gen. Dodge's headquarters announces that a
fire broke out in Rplla this morning between
one and two o'clock which destroyed the main
business portion of liz. town. The Govern
ment buildings, Commissary and Quartermas-
ter's department, were saved by the interven-
ton of the troops, who were Immediately or
dered out and were promptly on the ground.
Government property amounting to 81 300, 900
was saved, and nothing lost with the exception
OF some blankets, buckets, powder and picks
used to extinguish the fire. The officers and
men are entitled to great credit for their
promptness and efficiency in subduing the pro-
CESS of the flames. The fire was supposed to
be the work of an incendiary.
Several millions of Government proper
ty have been destroyed within a month,
and the most convenient way of account
ing for such wholesale distinctions is to
charge it to rebel incendiaries. There are
strong suspicious, however, that some of
the Quartermasters are endeavoring to
square their accounts by fire, thinking they
will come out better than through the 9TH
er channels.

The New Engllsh Prince.
From the London Observer,

From the London Observer.
The ACCOMPLISHMENT of her Royal High
ness was expected to have taken place
early in July. The birth of the Prince on
Saturday, although somewhat earlier than
was anticipated, was certainly not so pre-
mature as that of Prince Victor. The
royal infant, it is said, is remarkably strong
and healthy, and shows no sign or indica-
ton whatever of premature birth. Our
readers will learn also with unalloyed sat-
isfaction that the health of her Royal
Highness the Princess of Wales is as salts
factory as could be expected under the cir
cumstances. Her Royal Highness was
present at Mr.. Halle's concert, at st.
James's Hall, on Friday afternoon, and had
returned to Marlborough House in all her
usual health, with the intention of joining
the dinner party which was to assemble
there (and did assembly, at eight O'Clock.
A slight feeling of indisposition, however,
deferred her Royal Highness from enter
ing the dining-room, and as the evening
drew on indications presented themselves
which speedily brought the medical attend
ants to her assistance, when, after q brief
suffering, bravely borne, the Princess be-
came the happy mother of a second prince
in the line OF British kings. The event ESQ
happily brought about has occasioned an
universal feeling of delight throughout the
metropolis, and the lodge at Marlborough
House was thronged from an early to q
late hour on Saturday with visitors anx-
ious to read the medical bulletin, and to
assure themselves that all was really as
well as their fervent hope would suggest.

United States and Mexico.

The Paris correspondent of the London
Times, under date of June Sth, writes as fol-
lows:
1t is certain the Mexican agent who arrived
in Paris was sent by Macmillan for the ex-
press purpose of explaining the critical state
of affairs In Mexico-the menacing attitude of
the Americans and the fear of his Majesty that
war would be declared by the United States,
now that the war with the South Is over. The
French government has therefore given the
Washington cabinet to understand very plainly
that Mexico is under the protection of France;
that France will not allow any power to attack
it; that fillibusters and adventures entering
Mexican territory with hostile designs will,
If taken in arms, be hanged or shot with
out loss of time or mercy; and that the
United States governments good faith, France,
OF course, does not doubt. by doing all in its
power, to keep its subjects from injury to her
protege. The Washington Cabinet probably
has no desire at this time to be on bad terms
with this country, and will no doubt act pru-
IDENTIFY in this affair. The language and tone
OF France may be called decidedly energetic
1t may not be literally correct as mention,
but Is substantially.

Replies Of Secretary Stanton and
1 Gen. Grant.

In reply to the several applications of
the Governor for additional troops upon
the frontier, and for the early discharge Of
all Minnesota volunteers outside of this
Department, Secretary STANTON writes as
follows:
WAR DEPARTMENT,
WASHINGTON, June 16, 1865
Hon. Stephen Miller, Governor of Minnesota:
Your application was referred to Lieut.. Gen.
Grant, whose report thereon, as follows, has
been approved by this Department:
IAN the troops asked for by Gen. Pope have
been ordered to him. cannot at present re-
commend that exceptions be made in favor of
the immediate muster out of Minnesota troops,
but where their station leaves them equally
available with other troops for duty on the
Minnesota frontier, they will be ordered
there"
Very respectfully your obedient servant,
E. NJ. STANTON,
Secretary of War.

Permanent soldiers Home.

The duty of providing for disabled SOL
diers, and for widows, and children made
orphans, during the'war, is generally &C
knowledged, but there is recommends
ton in the Proclamation of the Governor
in regard to permanent Soldiers Home
which we do not approve. He says:
I also respectfully suggest that representa-.
tiyes be appointed by every city, village and
township. to meet in Convention at Saint Paul,
at future day to be designated by the
Chairmen of the Democratic and Union State
Central Committees, for the purpose OF
founding and organizing permanent Sol
diers' Home, for the benefit OF those who nave
returned or may hereafter return TO the
State permanently disabled by wounds or by
sickness.
We cannot see the propriety of using
party machinery to accomplish the pur-
pose designed. If there is anything in
the world upon which the whsle people
can unite, it is in such matter as this.
But there is more serious objection. The
support of our disabled soldiers must be
assumed by the National or State authori-
ties. 1t will not do to make them depen-
dent upon the fitful charities of the peo-
pie. An institution founded upon such q
basis could not be permanent.

The real causes of the success of the North

West Point.

The New York Times contains the re-
suit and official lists of the examination of
the graduating class at West Point for
1865, which numbers sixty-eight cadets.
The most distinguished in studies are
CHARLES W. RAYMOND, of Brooklyn,
N. Y; LEWIS @. OvERMAN, Of Philadel-
phia, Penn. ALEXANDER N. MILLER, OF
Washington, D. c.; REUBEN W. PErRI-
KIN, of -; W. R. LlvERMoRE, o
Massachusetts, DAVID W. PAYNE, of New
York. Of these, Cadet RAYMOND will
probably be first, and Cadet OvERMAN
second. Of the whole class the Times
says:
their record shows them to be far above the
average: morally, their superintendent states
he has never met more honorable men; physi-
cally. thew are handsome, bright-eyed, clear

but to their country.
A high sense of honor and OF truth Is en-.
couraged and maintained as standard or code
supreme above all earthly law, and inferior
oniy to the will of the Creator, and the result
is that the superintendent claims never to have
met more honorable set OF men IN hls liis
than the Corps of Cadets. Their ideas and
private codes at times are erroneous, out they
are reasonable, open to conviction. and amena-

to 81. The difficulty of admission is
shown from the fact that of 4,70l who

The Radicals Dismayed.

The Chicago Tribune and other radical
journals are taken entirely aback by the
determined stand of President JOHNSON
on the question Of negro suffrage in the
South. The North Carolina proclamation,
they thought, was bad enough. In the
other Southern States they hoped that a
different system would be adopted; that
the Governors appointed would be North
ern men, and that measures would be taken
which would not only disfranchise nearly
all of the Southern citizens, but which
would also open the way, at least, for the
negro to vote. But now that even the
State Of Mississippi, the home of JEFF.
DAVIS, is reconstructed - and brought
back into practical relations with the Union
on the same principles as were adopted in
the case of North Carolina, their rage
knows no bounds They are convinced
now, what they were 10th to believe at first,
that the President has cut loose from them,
and Is determined to carry on the govern
ment without them.
But they, on their part, are determined
that he shall not do this, They knew the
hold that they possessed on the late Presi-
dent, how they compelled him to yield to
"'pressure," and they are determined, if
possible, to acquire and maintain similar
ascendancy of the present Executive.
They bave found out already that ANDREW
JOHNSON is different man to deal with
than ABRAHAM LINCOLN. The basis of their
plan OF reconstruction is the appointment
of Northern men as governors and Judges
of all the Southern States, and universal
suffrage for the blacks. In this they have
been signally defeated by the policy which
the President has adopted in North Caro-
lima and Mississippi, and which will be
carried out in every other Southern State.
