Yankton's success at yesterdays letting,
At New York City. of contracts for Indian
supplies and transportation is = matter
upon which we congratulate this commu.
nifty. From what We have learned from
the scene of the letting it is reasonable 10
presume that all Of the Indian supplies fur.
nished outside of Yankton will come over
the Dakota Southern road, that the balance
will be purchased from our farmers and
ground in our mills and that the whole
will be shipped to its destinations by river
from Yankton. That out of three hundred
bidders u commercial and transportation
men should carly off the lions share of
these contracts is q recognition of our in.
importance as q commercial point-a re.
cognltion which comes to US through the
force of circumstance and the wide awake
energy of our people. The Indian depart
ment was not particularly frlendly.to Ysnk-
ton, but the memorable lowest bid is a thing
which cannot be overcome-it is the long.

ful of His Status.

full OF His Status.
To the Editor of the N. Y. Tribune:
SIR: Some seventeen years ago there
came 10 our loyalty such startlir G news that
the community was aroused al it never had
been before. Volunteer organizations were
formed to stay the danger supposed to
threaten the stability if not existence of our
government; and l found myself a member
Of the first regiment raised in our city, and
presumably without quite knowing for what
reason. We were soon sent to the front
however, and l was there Joined directly by
three brothers as foolhardy as myself one
of whom fell in battle before my eyes, and
one other long since died from the effects
of his years of service in the field.
/ know that our mother experienced
considerable anxiety because of our con-
duct; but we had broken from all family
and kindred restraint, in the beliefthat such
action was praiseworthy, and it is one
source of comfort in connection with the
memory of my brothers, that they
both died in the firm conviction that it
was 30. The thrilling events surrounding
US at that time are 80 long passed that it is
somewhat difficult for a defective memory
to recall the exact status of the conflicting
forces; but | distinctly remember that Sum-
ner, Sedgwick, Hooker, Hancock and Hentz-
eiman, were among our early commanders,
and Balls Bluff, Fair Oaks, Malvern Hill,
Antietam and Fredericksburgh, took earliest
prominence in our recollections of battle ex-
perience; and that our whole forces were
under the administration of Mr.. Lincoln,
who was regarded by the soldiers with .
great degree of veneration- which may, for
sooth, have been inspired by the peculiar
uncertainties of the field, the exalted Msi-
tion he held, or the frequency with which
his name appeared in print and campfire
conversation.
Now, the question l wish you to decide
for me il whether our army was the loyal
one and Mr.. Lincoln the defender Of our
country, and Mr. Davis the head Of forces
striving to destroy it or was Mr.. Davis the
loyal ruler, and will those Of us who fought
OF the side upheld by Mr.. Lincoln in the
future be CO; sidered traitors? For one, I GER
tainly acted from the purest motives, 10 the
lightthen given me, and il it was a false one,
desire to most humbly beg the pardon Of
those I mistakenly fought. N. G.

Gen. Dewey has decided, we are inform

ing tour in his own behalf, the object being
to cultivate the people of the territory and
by and by run himself into a nomination as

home, it is probable that he will not lie
idle while this IS going on. Gen. Dewey
has availed himself OF the services of w. X.

THE SCHOOL TEXT BOOKS.

The State Board of Examiners at their
session in Columbia last week adopted
full set of text books for use in the COM
mon schools of the State, and these books
will now become the standard text books
for s,ae in all the schools which receive
the public money to pay or assist in pay
ing the salaries of the teachers, and they
viii continue &c BE the text books for the
next five years, as there is no power to
change them under our school law du-
ring that period. The selections have
been thoroughly considered, and we have
no doubt they are all good, and that as
system they will be found excellent.
Without undertaking to criticise or no.
tice all of the selections made, we desire
especially to express qualification at the
selection of Davidson's History of South
Carolina, because 1t is an impartial and
re.:shle histor' wE:cn does justice to
our State, thereby enabling the student
to correctly inform himself upon the re-
cord of South Carolina instead OF being
misled by the aspersions contained in
Northern histories. The selection of
Webster's Dictionary only adds one
more to ita many testimonials of worth
and excellence, and was In every respect
advisable, in" smuch as these dictionaries
are the acknowledged natioaal standard,
and are in general use in South Carolina,
30 that to have changed them would have
been to saddle an enormous outlay of
money upon the poorer classes Of our
people who are attempting to educate
shei- children. The selection of Rev
nold's Readers and copy books was also
deserved tribute to Southern author
ship, and we hope that it will be an in
centive 10 Southern scholars to engage in
the work of giving is q complete system
of text books for our schools. The list of
books adopted appears on another page
Of this issue, and teachers would do we'll
to cut the list ont and retain It for refer
