General Ben. Grierson, the famous cav
airy raider, who penetrated the shell OF
the Confederacy,n by a famous raid, spent
last Thursday night in Ravenna. In ls49

liant and m~eritorious services on the field.
May has been prolific in frosts this year.
Nearly every night to the sth there were
frosts. Grapes, small fruit, and the more
tender varieties of fruit trees, have been
generally injured, and in some localities
entirely cut of. Upon the night of the
18th there was a bitter frost, so severe in
some localities as blight apples, though
this was not general.

Suggestion.

We all remember how in the very crisis
of our contest General Grant electrified
the nation by announcing his intention
Gto fight it out on this line if it takes all
summer" He fought it out, though it
took not only all the summer but all the
fan and all the winter, and in the early
spring his army entered the gates of
Richmond and the c~onfederacy fell
We entrest u Congress now to eight
II out on this line if it takes all summer"
If its members adjourn without hsvinglaid
down its policy in reference to the South
ern states, and established thst policy on
foundations so deep and broad that no
usurpation or interference on the part Of
the President can overturn it. they will have
failed to do all their duty. We do not wish
TO hurry them in this work-it is one
which should be consummated with the ut
,nost care. caution and elaboration. We
hope, indeed, that they may not complete
the labor until they are ready to accept as
its foundation Rqual Justice to white and
black. But we especially hope that, what
ever they do, they may 10 it thoroughly,
completely, patiently, aud not the least in
ahurry, and that they viii not adjourn
until it is done, if it be not until the
fourth of next March Let them right 1t
oat on this Inc, even if it takes them as
bong to win a lasting and final triumph
as it did Grant.

In other words, the total wheat crop
will be less han the average by about
eight million barrels of flour, and the ma
tionsl loss will amount to about sixty
million dollars. The loss to this State
will be about fifteen million dollars, OF
about six dollars to every man, woman
and child in the State.
There is no need, however, to fear very
high prices on account of the decrease OF
the crop. The wheat crop of 1860 wa;
173, IO4, 600 bushels. The Agricultural
Department estimated the crop of wheat
in 1863 at l91, 900, 600 bushels, which is an
increase on 1860 of IL per cent. If thi:
be correct, the ordinary crop of 1866 would
be 2l2, OOO, 900. A deduction of 49, 900, O0O
would be a deficiency of 20 per cent. OF
what the crop should be, but only To-
100000 bushels less than the crop Of
1860. This production viii be ample tc
supply the consumption of the entire
country, but the surplus for expectation
will be very small.

CAPTAIN FIELDS.
His Body Found Partially Eaten by
Wolves.
Special Correspondents of the st. Paul Pioneer
FoRr ABERcRoMBIE, D. T, May 4.


Special correspondence of the St. Paul Pioneer.
Fort ABERcRoMBIE, D. T, May A.
After a long seaach the body of the late
Captain A. r. Fields has been found, as
also the body of one of the men who were
with him when he left his command. The
body of the private found is supposed to
be that of Smith, from the description of
the man, as left by members ofthe ID cav
airy.
The bsdies were found on the LIST Of
May, about fifteen miles nearly south of
Twin Lakes Station, by q small detach-
ment of soldiers who were accompanying
the father of the Captain in the search
for the bodies.
The body of Captain Fields when found
was lying on its back, but had been eaten
somewhat by wolves, as had also the body
of Smith O. who was lying on his face.
The bodies were about one rod apart, so
hat they must have persisted or become
helpless about the same time.
From all the observations of the search
they must have witnessed the inclemen-
cies of the storm of the night, and prob
ably died the next morning or sometime
during the day. They had, undoubtedly,
HOI lidNeleu any Oh lOOli Us OdpIdLH t.
had On when found a pair of rubber over
shoes, which would have been cut and
worn more or less had he have travelled
through the crust.
Thus ends the surpense which his many
friends have been in so long.
We know his fate, and sad indeed it
was. What the anxiety of the father,
who for so long a time has searched the
prairies for some evidence of the missing
son, none can tell, nor can pen describe
the anguish which the father must have
felt when the reality of his sons fate was
brought home to him by the finding of
the body. Thus has ended the career of
three, and probably of four, of u noble
volunteers, who, although they did not
fallin the front ranks by rebel or Indian
bullets, yet they have fallen in the service
of their country, and have given up their
lives, which is the most that man can do,
" Peace to their ashes"
The body of Smith % was buried
where it was found; that of Capt. Fields
was wrapped in blankets and brought &c
this post. MI. Field leaves with the body
for his home in Red Wing.
The body Of the fourth man may never
be found, as no further search will be
made. ).
