from the Fond du Lac (Wis.) district, is at the

Minneapolis on legal business. This is Gen.
Bragg's first visit to these two cities, and to
say that he Is favorably impressed with the
business push and activity, and the indications
of prosperity everywhere observable, but
family expresses it. Gen. Bragg was for some
time during the war in command of the "Old
Iron Brigade" name earned under the COM
mand Of Gen. John Gibbon, now of Fort
Smelling, position gained by good service,
and in which he gained most enviable repu-
tation as brave and gallant officer. His ca
reer in Congress, like that of the army, has
been most creditable to himself, his State and
the country, his stand against the payment of
Southern claims for property, etc., destroyed
during the war, alone emitting him to the
gratitude of the American people.
