To THE EDITOR: think it duty owe to

battery to correct statement made by "Carle-
ton " in your issue of the 23d ult. in regard to
the battle of Baton Rouge, La, Aug. 5, 1862
He says that 1.-The COnfederates rushed upon
the I'd Mass battery Tor, as he chooses to call
1t, Nims's battery,) aud captured two guns and
used them upon the 9Th Mich; that the 9th
Mich. charged and recaptured the guns hand
ing them over to Capt. Minis" Not one word
of this is true. Let me tell you what know
about this battle. On the night of Aug. at
roll-call only seven men out of LAG men
belonging to the I'd Mass. battery reported for
duty; the others were more or less sick from
swamp fever, contracted at Vicksburg Miss.
The battery was camped on the left of North
Boulevard street, and on its left and q few
yards in advance, ON Florida street, was the
camp of the 9TH VT, with the 2lst Ind.s camp
in advance of them about 100 yards When
the firing commenced the men belonging to
the battery left the company hospital and took
their places at the guns. The battery moved
out on to Florida street. and advanced about rs
yards and went into action on the right of the
road, with part of the 9th Mich and the Both
Mass. as support-the 9th Mich. on its right
and the Both Mass. on its left. The new posi-
ton was taken about 100 yards in dvance of
the first and just on the right of the camp of
the 2lst Ind. Here the battery remained until
ordered to fall back with the whole line. Now,
in regard to the 9th Mich, this is the story of
their recapturing two guns: Two guns were
taken from the old United States barracks and
manned by some infantry troops. These guns
were placed on Government street (some call
1t the Clay Cut road. They had no horses and
were used as a Sort of siege gun. The 9th
Mich. was camped about rs yards in rear of
these guns, behind fence. On the right of
the road the 4th La. made a charge and cap
tured the guns. In less time than can write
it that part Of the 9th Mich. that was not sup
porting the I'd Mass battery came around the
fence with yell and made a counter charge
upon the 4th La, recapturing the guns and
making terrible work with the Confederates.
This was over 600 yards from either position
of the I'd Mass. battery.-WM. MARYLAND Capt,
I'd Mass battery, Andover, Mass.

There is rumor abroad that Secretary
Teller will be lkely to resign if it be.
comes necessary to remove the secre-
tary's office to bismarck. AS the posi-.
ton he holds is said to be worth about
$4,000 year, such course would in
crease his reputation for grit Huron
Times.
It's pretty nearly time for this sort Of
nonsense to come to an end. We are not
Authorized to speak for Secretary Teller,
but We are satisfied that he is not de-
sirous of being portrayed in ,he atti.
tude of refusing to recognize Bismarck
for any factious reasons. His position
thus far has been taken on good and
sufficient grounds and his future move.
ments will be wholly consistent with his
sworn duty as the only officer in the ter.
rltory who is directly answerablc to the
general government for his acts as the
custodian of valuable United States
property and the dispenser of United
States funds. The rumor of his resigna
tion is fathered by the wishes of the cap
ital faction, but they are more than likely
to be disappointed.

The idea OF "ring rule" is always in
open hostility to good government and
usually brings financial trouble and

dangers incurred are many and the
means employed notoriously foul. The
Ordway outfit is as extensive III Dakota
as ever the carpet bag system was in the
south and with as little respect to the
wishes OF the people and less decency us
office holders. Always on the alert in
cunning organizations and townslte pro.
jects. AS rule hiding the true condi.
tion OF the county by appointing clever
clerk to attend their bidding. The con-
dition of the counties in south
Dakota is wondered at by our people
and yet no positive stand HIS taken
the wheat fields OF their presence. 1t is
often the case that Ordway has imported
his Vermont friends to live off of the
people, aud thus prevent the proper and
Just administration of our laws. In no
county in north Dakota has their pres.
ence been so numerous or their deeds SO
barefaced without exposure as in our
neighbor on the west. Ramsey county
knew there were before it's organization
those who were waiting to partake of the
spoils and to-day bleeding at its treasury

that the men who made possible solid
north in their own interest have been
abandoned by that solid north and that
for this reason they seek to create solid
south in their own interest. II they
succeed the solid south, under the manip.
ulation OF their agents, will be invoked
to carry out the designs of the northern
ling, which has felled to secure the aid
and comfort it requires from its own
section. 1t is the prevailing sentiment
in the north that the capital ring must
go and that Ordwayism must be trampled
under foot. This sentiment will be acted
upon at caucuses, conventions and at the
polls during the comiig fall. Aban.
doned by their own section, the corrupt
combination seek aid and comfort in the
south. If the south falls into this trap
it will give aid and comfort to its enc.
mics and it will abandon its friends in
the north who arc uble and anxious to
administer defeat to the very men against
whom the south is naturally arraycd.
These are the cold facts.

In its inception the Press and Dako-
taian favored the proposition to organize
solid south as measure of defense
aud olfense against the northern ring
which has done so much to bring dis
grace upon all OF Dakota. It did this in
the honest conviction that tho move
ment would be productive of good re-
suits and it continued in this faith until
it discovered that the solid south move
was instigated by the very men against
whom it was directed and has since been
carried forward by their agents. 1t fur
ther discovered that the ring was power
less on it's own side of the line and that
the perpetuation of its power
depended almost entirely upon the
strength it could secretly develop IN the
south. It was desperate situation for
the ring and its reliance for success was
upon adroit management and the guilt
bility of those whom it sought to use.
Becoming convinced that this is the true
condition OF affairs, the Press and Da.
kotaian does not propose to assist in
carrying out scheme which will end
only in the betrayal of the south and
the supremacy of those whom the south
desires to defeat. Some of the papers
have charged us with inconsistency IL
taking this course, but that We are en-
tirely CONSISTENT in our position time
and future developments will fully
nroYe.

The Vermillion Republican takes ex-
ceptions to the statements of the Press
and Dakotaian relative to the manage
ment Of the Dakota university and en-.
ters general denial thereof. We gave
these statements as reports that we're
being passed from mouth to mouth. with
the suggestion that it might be we'll
enough to enquire into them. The Re.
publican as usual coustrues our remarks
Is an exhibition of Yankton's alleged
unfriendliness to Vermillion, condition
of affairs which exists only in the col
umns of the Republican. Ii Yankton
was really hostile to Vermillion, it would
probably not take pains to make sugges
tions for the improvement OF its favorite
institution, the university.

called for the 9th, 10th and 11th of Sep

by the Phil Kearney post of Yankton.
The George Il. Thomas post of Redfield
has also issued circular calling an
annual reunion at Redfeld on the 10th,
llth and 18th. The opposing calls have
mystifed would be attendants somewhat,
aud the doubt as to which Is the genuine
call is liable to have bad effect on
both.
The call fer the reunion at Yankton is
the authorized call, Yankton having been
voted as the place at the last reunion at
Sioux Falls. The Redfield post made o
mistake in issuing its call which has
been corrected from Major Free, com
mander of the department of Dakota
The reunion will be held at Yankton or

them. Palmer relinquished part OF his
land for the town site and has filed SOL
diers scrip on the same, aud Percival has
relinquished his to his brother Cal, who
is to prove upon it. People of this age
should awake and shake off the fetters
OF such an administration. Here is car.
pet-bagism in all its indecency. What
can be expected of men that will take
the solemn homestead oath and enter
land that is intended to be for townsite
purposes in few days. When officials
OF such Influence take oaths of this ma.
ture it is not perjury. Some one whis-
pers that one Of these men seeks re.elec-
tion and is in the hands OF his friends, 80
you could not catch him for he is liable
to drop in any cheap politicians pocket.
In Ramsey county neither the peoples
money nor property is served to Its pro-
per use, and 1t is said that in an Office
three blocks from the county building
occupied by e. V. Barton that he had
taken s75 90 desk and some chairs out
of the clerk OF courts room, and since
the fire 1t is rumored that this furniture
was burned. This man is also in the
hands of his friends for reelection. This
man is going the rounds and saying,
"don't you think my stewardship has
been good and that l ought to draw
three dollar fees for two years more?"
The Pioneer Press. of Devils Lake,
said that 1t would print next week an ex-
posure of the county officials aud what
had become Of all the money. So when
the commissioners met that afternoon
each official was on thorns, and when the
superintendent Of schools plead for the
stolen school money there was a circus
on top that will be fixed up some way so
as to heal over the wound before the
Pioneer Press is issued.
Next week we will fish around smong
the treasurer's accounts and show the
people who it is that is liable for the
$4,000 of school money that is short, and
other items that will effect the taxpayers
of Ramsey county, and cause cold chills
to circulate not far from certain high
officials.

An article in the Nelson County News
is published in this issue which is on
interesting account OF the Ordway meth
cd of making county seats. There are
some other facts in connection with the
history of this case, one of which is:
The organization Of Ramsey county was
never placed on record in the secre-
tary's office. Another is that two sets of
commissioners were commissioned for
that county aud that the extra set of
commissions was suppressed and never
delivered 10 the parties.
