of soldiers recruited under the operation of the
act of Congress authorizing the Governors of
the loyal States to send recruiting agents into
the rebel States. 1t will be remembered that
this provision was inserted in the amendatory
enrolment act of July, 1864, at the imperative
instance of Massachusetts,, whose Representa-
tives in Congress voted with the copperheads
against the repeal of the three hundred dollar
clause. until the Republicans reluctantly con-
sented to the provision above mentioned. The

NEWS OF OUR OWN STATE.

The Winona Republican says the grow
ing crop of wheat never looked more
promising at this season. It is estimated
that the next crop will be the largest ever
harvested in the State. Thus far the
wheat crop has been exempt from the at
tacks of destructive insects of all kinds.
WORK has been resumed on the Winona
and st. Peter Railroad beyond Rochester.
Wool is selling in Rochester at from IS to
40 cents per pound. So says the Re
publican.
WHEAT to the amount of $4,000 bushels
was shipped from Winona on Friday, by the
new route ola Savanna and the Racine
and Mississippi Railroad, which has placed
line of freight boats and barges on the
river this season. By this route wheat is
transported to Milwaukee, Racine or Chi
cago, giving shippers the advantage of
either market.

IMPORTANT DECsION.-In the case

IMPORTANT DEusION.-In the case of
United States vs. McCarty, before the Circuit
Court
The court decided to quash the indictment
against jeremiah McCarty, on the motion
made by MIR. Heard, on the ground that the
provision of the draft law under which the in
dictment was found was imperative and void,
for the reason that it did not fix any certain
term Of punishment.
McCarty was indicted for getting the dis
charge of drafted man before the Board of
Enrolment upon fraudulent claim of exemp.
ton. For such an offence the section of the
law in question provides punishment for the
length of time that the man was drafted. I'm
der the law the man was drafted during the
existence of the rebellion, not exceeding three
years. When the rebellion would end. the
Court held was q question which it was
impossible for it to ascertain, and the term of
Imprisonment must therefore be indefinite and
uncertain. This settles the case of DR.. Dibb
and others charged with violation of the
same section.

The Riot at Staten Island...Further
Particulars.

New YORK, June 22.-In the matter of
the riot on Staten Island, last evening, it
appears the citizens were giving an enter
tainment to the 133d Regiment, just re :.
turned from the war. Some of the mem
bers of detachment of the Goth, guarding
the cotton on the quarantine grounds,
came to the place of entertainment and
were in friendly spirit asked to take re.
freshments, and partook of them. After
wards discussion sprung up relative to
the merits of the two regiments, in which
the citizens participated, and couple of
the Goth got into fight. Getting the
worst of the fight they ran to their quar-
ters, got their muskets, loaded them, fixed
bayonets, and returned, using offensive
language.
They were set upon, their muskets taken
from them, and driven inside the gates of
the quarantine ground. This enraged
nearly the entire detachment, and they
took their stand inside the gates, with
their muskets loaded. By this time q
large crowd gathered about the gates, and
stones were thrown at the armed soldiers
inside. They responded by firing DELHI.
erately, and with much regularity, volley
after volley into the crowd. The fight
was KEEP: up for nearly half hour, with
muskets on one side and stones on the
other. Finally boat arrived having on
board Lieut.. Colonel Nelson, in command
of the detachment of the Goth, and he was
informed of the state of affairs. He i'm
mediately leaped ashore fastened to the
gate, commanding the men to desist and
return to their quarters. His commad was
scarcely uttered when he was shot by one
of his own men, the ball passing through
bis breast. He will probably die. he is
a son of Judge Nelson, of williamsburg,
Westchester county, and about % years
of age. Capt. Wilson of the Naugatuck,
was notified of the affair and he ordered q
squad of sailors with Minnie rifles down to
the scene of action, and arrested several
of the rioters; also taking away tie mus
kets of others. The disturbance was then
quelled. Among the wounded were Peter
King, a returned soldier employed in the
cotton houses, shot in the right lex.
breaking the bone in two places. The leo
will have to be amputated. Mortimer
Durges, 1S3d regiment, shot in the left
arm, rendering amputation necessary.
Some twenty or thirty altogether were
wounded.

A CURIoslTY.-We saw yesterday a
curiosity, in the hands of Senator Ramsey, be-
ing Autographed copy of the Japan FIX
press" an English paper, published in Jeddo,
Japan, and sent to him by Geo. Cochran, of
Philadelphia, Paymaster in the Navy. The
paper is written on sheets by the editor, and
the manuscript transferred to stone and printed
by the japanese photographers, who are very
skillful. Thus news in the English tongue is
published in the capital of that country. and by
the work of natives who cannot read word of
what they print. Senator Ramsey has sent the
paper to the Historical society-an appropri-
ate place for such curiosities.
