To Voters.

The voters of Grant County have duty TO

VIM. McGonigal is before us for reelection.
He has served in the Office for many years
Every man in the County knows his character
The position is one of great responsibility. 1t
is one that sharper could get rich in. II is
one that Judge McGonigal makes only small
salary in Estates are settled under his man.
agement. quickly and eheaply, and no man is
afraid that what be may leave behind h m
will go wrong or be sqdandered by sharp prac>
tice if left TO the disposition OF Judge Metfon-
igal IL is probably the last time the voters
win have the privilege of voting for him. II
would be clever compliment to give him the
unanimous vote Of the county. He has been
made the candidate of the Republicans but
that was not his doing Il is creditable to
the Democrats that they have made no NOM
lna.ion against him. Those who vote for him
viii indicate their willingness to go outside OF
party when they know they have good man.
II would be some thing for the people to re-
me.nber with pleausre and with pride if next
Tuesday the count would show over 7,ooo
woes cast for Judge NEG onigal.
There is another man. called out for his
merits. An Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court is to be elected and for the position the
name of the Hon. VIM. P. Lyon is presented.
There is no candidate nominated against hun

For town officers let US have good men, as
heretofore We wish to be able as long as we
are a citizen of Grant County to hold 1t up TO
view az the model OF the State for good gov

the following Yesterday

the following yesterday:
General W. P. Dewey was confirmed by
the Senate on Tuesday of this week for sec,
ond term of four years as Surveyor General OF
this Territory. This is important news. 1t is
also interesting in connection with the fact
that great efforts have recently been made to
supercede Gen. Dewey in his Office, which are
thus proved to have met with disastrous fall
ure, although his opponents have put in sever
al weeks of industrious work at Washington
while the General has steadfastly remained at
his post of duty and refrained from personal
labors in his own behalf
But the Dakotaian of March 23d has

tory arrived at Yankton last evening, and to-
day took possession of his Office, Gen. Dewey
retiring. Owing to the absence of any noti-

HEARTS OF OAK.
BY GEORGE WESLEY.

Upon the banks of d small stream known
as Bier creek, a stream that flow ed into
the Sautee river, was encampcd, at The time
of which we write, body of Tories.
Ii may be we'll to s:ate just here, tha; the
operations of the BRUSH in South Carolina
were at this SINE contracted almost entirely
within that section of country which was
enclosed by the Sautee, the Cougaree aud
EdISto rivers.
For the first time the British began to
unders' ard that their cause was doubtful.
BanGs Of Tories aud outlaws rpamed the
country, pluudeiing from both sides aud
spreading death and deso!ation everywhere.
II is with one ui these rowing bands that
we have to d,--a detachment belonging ~
the troops of the infamous Col. Ta,leton.
1t WAS toward the close of pleasant after
noou near midsummer that we look IN upon
them. The camp was in the wildest cnn-
fusion all the men seemed CROW ding t.
ward large tent situated somewhat back
Of the Others. This tcut was filed with
officers and privates. while in the centre of
the ring thus formed STOOL two wIo were
evidently prisoners. They were IA queer
looking coupie-a man and youth. The
man was Yankee, a tall, lank, loose-j Joint
ed, good uatured fellow from New Eng land
His companion WAS frank, open faced,
years Of age. His form was well develop
ed, and lie possessed an amount of strength
which few grown men would have cared to
cope with.
Si Keen, the Yankee. was one uf the spies
employed by General M,rion, a fact which
was well known to the British. AT the
time of i,is capture lie was not engaged
upon a spying expedition, but that made
no diffe renee to his INSCRIPTIONS enemies.
Our young hero, Frank Ralston, was a
friend and devoted companion of Si.-
Frank had lost his parents at the beginning <
of the Struggle for liberty, and, boy though
he was. he joined ;he PARROT band under
Marion, He had served his country faith
fully. A warm friendship had sprung az
between the youth aud 81, who was an &c
complished scout aud trailer. He was in
deStcd to the Yankee for his knowledge Of
woodcraft, aud ho had proven himself AN
apt scholar. They had been out together
upon a foraging raid, and had fallen into
the hands of their enemies. Although not
captured within the eueny's line. yet the
wcIi-kuown character of the Yankee was
enough to- condemn him.
As soon as the prisoners were brought
irto camp. court martial WAS immediately
