EDITOR DEMocRAr.-As.I wrote you in
my last, the search forr' the lost men (Capt.
Fielis and party) has been continued from
day to day up, to the LAT Of this month,
when vi were SUCCESSFUL lin finding Capt!
Fields and ~onas of the. men Of The party
With him. I'M ssiisyig1
They were found south and a little west
of this post, distance Is miles, and few
miles east Of the road from this post to Fl.
wadsworth and south Of the s'Sibley trail y
From appearances, it seems that they were
trying to reach the timber at the foot Of
the coleaus, distant from them about seven
miles. il.
Where they had abandoned their horses
is not yet with any certainty ascertained,
but it is most probable that the horses were
exhausted and abandoned somewhere be-
tween this and the. place the Captain and
man were found. Within sight of timber,
where they knew was shelter, and possibly
friends, they fell, exhausted, frozen, into
the cold embraces Of death. as.T
The, we're somewhat consumed and mu.
tilated by Wild animals. Mr.. Field iden-
tilted his son by his clothing. They were
q sad sight to look upon, and it was heart
rending to witasss the anguish Of the be-
reaved parent, as he thus met the loved son
whom he had many days looked for, with
the hope of finding him alive. s2sss:s -
~ The remains Of Capt. F., in
charge of his. father, will BE taken to Red
Wing, the home of Ne. Field. The private
soldier will be buried where found, the
grave and locality being so marked that his
friends may recover and remove his re-
mains. 10, .a3eg,. z4Gg.si %,EI Il ss..5 IL
The articles found in the pockets Of the
soldier will be sent to headquarters at Fl.
Abercrombie. No one at this post can
| identify the man. 1t IS supposed that his
friends will be enabled to identify him by
the articles found on his person. Where
the fourth man Of tho party is, no one, as
yet, can determine. Every effort; possible
has been made to learn the fate of these
men. and recover their bodies If dead, and
it will, at least, be a qualification to. their
friends to know that such an effort has
been made, and thus far SO successful. Un-
doubtedly, many have thought that they
should have been found long before this
time. Such an opinion formed by those
totally unacquainted with the circums.an-
ces, would be materially changed if once
they became aware Of the large extent of
country to be searched, the unevenness OF
its surface, the great depths of the snow,
and other great impcdiments TO- success

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC RAIL-
ROAD.

On the first page we copy from the WASH
iueton Globe an excellent speech made by
Hon. /. Donnelly, Member of Congress
from this District, in defense Of the North
srn Pacific Railroad Bill. Mr.. D. demon
strates plainly aud forcihly that the. Cow
ernment runs no risk in granting to the.
road the aid asked for: that with the pro-
Rress Of the work, the land would more
than pay ALI expenses. But what is Of far
greater importance, it would set'le up with
mn industrious population a vast extent of
territory along the proro ed line that
though rich aud fertile, is yet pnoccup'ed.
g k,raiIroad to the Pacific would draw thou
sands upon thousands of emigrants both
from Europe and from the crowded cities
of tho East, who would create new States
aud continually increasing wealth for the
whole country. >'~-'.~5".S' ,.<>t
The measure was ably sustained in the
House by Hons, Tkaddeus Stevens and
William D. Kelley, Of Pennsylvania, Mr.
Dodge, of New York. Mr.. Price, Of Iowa,
and others; but the opposition under
Messr,. Weatwerth and Nashburne, Of IL
hnois, and, to their shame be it said, other
Western members, proved TOO strong, and
the bill was defeated. The whole int1u-
encs Of the Central Pacific Road, which
has been most muni6cently endowed by
the Government, was used against this bill.
Our readers will find MIR. Donnelly's
speech WE worth reading. It contains
many facts valuable to be learnsd and re-
membered, and which will tend to rouse
the people Of the West to an imperative de
mand that the Government shall extend
such aid Us will secure the building of the
road.

The Chicago Tribune speaks as follows o.
IL ,onte and the defeat of the bill:
BRIDGE ACROSS THE NIISsISSIP'
Pr RIVER. "

TIE need Of bridge across the Missis-
s;ppi at this place has long been felt, and
all will be gratifed to learn that the pros
poets for the early building of such bridge
are most Aattering. The books Of the St.
Cloud Bridge Company have been open for
some time and twenty thousand dolhrs of
the stock have already been taken BY our
swn citizens. Thirty thousand dollars on
" win be received, and the ten thousand
vet uusubscribed will be taken in . few
days. 1870 s..-.3 -
A proposition has been made to the Com
pany by responsible party to build the
superstructure Of the bridge for fifteen
thousand dollars, the spansto be two hum
dred feet each, requiring two piers in the
river. The roadway would, be placed on
the top, eighteen feet above the lower
course-wny. This plan is similar to that
Of the lower Minneapolis bridge. It is at
present contemplated to build the piers in
September Of this year; let the contract
for the timber in the latter part of the fall !;
and have the bridge ready for crossing
about the first of July. 867.. ,r1s~s, ?
This project IS in the hauds of prominent
and wealthy men, who will push the mat
ter through vigorously. Another year will
doubtless witness bridge across the Mis-
sissipp, at St. Cloud as an accomplished
fact. The benefits which would aow from
it to- this city will present then selves to
every one. ~. f;a@T'i ,'',i%. 1871: r' =

"The Southern NAL, due on Thurs lay

have papers from Galveston of the 18TH
They contain Geographic dispatches from
Philadelphia of the proceedings of the Ma
tional Convention. We give on our outside
to-day the first days proceedings. On the
second day, the 18th, the permanent organ
ization was effected, by the election of SEN
tor Dooli,tle as President, and Vice Pres.
ident from each State.
Mr.. Vallandigham, not wishing to mar
tho harmony of the Convention, withdrew
from the Convention and declined taking
his seat The following dispatch was re-
ceived from the President:
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1G.-ITon. o. H.
Browning, Hon. A. W. Randall and the
Convention at Philadelphia: "Tbank you
for yonr cheering and encouraging dis
patch. The finger oil Providence is uner
ring and will guide you safely through.
The people must be trusted, and the country
will be restored. My faith is mistaken as
to the ultimate success"
(Signed,) ANDREW JOHNSON.
The proceedings of the Convention were
most harmonious. Resolutions and an ad-
dress were adopted unanimously, and the
Convention adjourned sine die on the even
ing the 10th. A dispatch says:
The address, but not the resolutions, was
written by Raymond. 1t is merely the res
olutions elaborated.
During the reading of the address an
almost breathless silence prevailed, the
President having requested that no demon
stration be made, quiet was thus resumed
till the speaker arrived at the following
paragraph:
"And the ten million of Americans who
live at the South would be unworthy citi-
zens of free Commonwealth, degenerated
sons of common ancestry, unfit even to
become guardians of the rights and princi-
pies bequcathed TO us by the fathers and
founders of the Republic if they could ac
cept with submission the humiliation thus
sought to be imposed upon them"
The vast audience broke forth in an I'M
restrained burst of applause, which lasted
several minutes, at the conclusion of hich,
upon motion, the paragraph was roread,
and again the applause broke forth with
redoubed effect
We shall endeavor TO give full synopsis
Of the proceedings in our next.

the staff that rode behind him were

they rode after spectre.

FOR the Herald.


KAUFMAN, Tex, Aug, 18th 'G6.
Editor Herald Prom the information
We have been enabled to collect, personally
aud by correspondence, We are led to believe
that the present Legislature now In session
will ballot for two United States Senators
TO represent the State Of Texas in the Fed
eral Congress. We are not aware Of any
man OF note having been suggested for this
high and responsible position IN the Eastern
District, unless II be that OF Gen. A. II.
Norton, thai whom more fitting Senator
could not be found.
Whatever may have been the antecedents
of Gen. Norton, the facts are too plain for
controversy that he Won d be the choice Of
the people, whatever may be the action Of
the Legislature.
His course in the Convention has made
for him nm army Of friends throughout the
State, who, previous to the sitting of that
body we're much opposed to him. His NOR
al honesty, h abilities and his gentleman
ly bearing, IL elected will add at lenst one
name TO the American Senate OF whom his
constituents would be proud.
The course of Gen. Norton has been uni
versnlly straight forward, aud VIC can say
with truth, that m man has pursued his pol
icy with more frmness and with less guile
than he. II is men Of this stamp alone
that the radical fiction now in power will
admit If ever they do admit any, 10 a seat
in the Senate.
An ardent supporter Of the policy
of President Johnson warm cou-
: servative unionist, we feel satisfied that in
him the sovereign people Of Texas will find
an ardent advocate, and staunch defender
of their rights as guaranteed to them under
the Constitution.
Let the people be up then and rally to
his upport-instructin their representa-
tives to vote for him as their first choice
and not let past political differences stand
in the way Of sending an able, honest and
talented Senator from one of the greatest
States in the Union.
Gen. Norton has many warm friends at
Austin who, if they knew he would consent
to his name being used for the position,
would be acting manfully in his behalf;
AID when it is known, as it soon must be,
that he is the choice of Northern and East.
ern Texas, his election is beyond all cavil.
Yours respectfully,
VOX POPULI.

The article favors the election Of Hon. A.

a gentleman for whom we entertain the
highest regard, and who is conscientious
in everything he writes. Coming from
such source, we do not feel at liberty to
