I noticed an article III your issue of
August 7tl'., which puts me in mind of a
similar incident near the same place
(Boyton Road,) two DAYS before the fall
of Petersburg, Virginia, when the End
corps was waiting for the 9Th corps to
come up. A rebel battery, posted OH the
edge of the timber, was playing on our
position with salute shot. We could see
every shot rs the pieces went of. Where
the End corps headquarters were the balls
got exhausted and the boys caught them
and played nine pin alley with them.
l was at that time with my company Go
I, LIST w. l. Cav.) doing duty OH 2nd
corps, headquarters, mounted orderly to
corps commander, Gen. Humphrey. Up
comes Gen. Grant and staff, Gen. Meade
and HUMPHREY and staff. Seeing their
intention of going out in the open field,
and knowing the danger, Immediately
notified Gen. Humphrey of the circum-
stances The general Immediately told
Gen. Gr.ut about it. His answer was,
" l have got to go there" In all there
must have nearly forty men on horse
back, posting themselves in the middle
of the open field, in full view of the rebel
battery. Out came the spy glasses to
view the position of the rebels. Then
We could see the smoke issue forth
through, the timber from the battery.
One shot struck fair in the middle of the
party, killing and nearly cutting in two,
Major Millward, acting assist. general to
Gen. Humphrey, then went through one
of Grants staff officers horses but not
injuring the rider. Ofcourse, the party
didn't stay long after that, being satisfied
about the position of the enemy.

The reports that come to us of the
condition Of the grain now being har.
vested are for the most part very fay.
orable. 1t is true that an occasional
complaint is heard Of slight datAagc
done by worm at the roots Of the
grain, but very little serious harm
from this cause is yet reported. A
good deal of the grain will not he quite
so plump US the Abest North Dakota
product usually appears, but will
nevertlelessi likely grade mostly No. l
hard. In several localities throughout
Pembina county the condition of the
grain is reported prime in every re.
spect. This fact taken in connection
with the likelihood of u good general
yield, is cause for great satisfaction
with the seasons prospects SO far.

of curiosity glanced ut the returns from
Flandreau, Moody county. his home.

and outraged to find the enumerator
had returned him as BASTARD The
enumeration was T. w. Pettigrew,
brother of Frank lettigrew Of Sioux

there has been u bitter political feud
for years. Mr.. Rice's Indignation was
unbounded. lie Immediately wrote

The federal statute provides II maxi.
mum penalty Of $1,000 fine and two
years. Imprisonment for an enumer-
ator willfully and knowingly making

taken under this law, independent of
criminal libel. Universal contempt is
expressed against Pettigrew for the
wantonness manifested and the pros

Dakota's Future.

The census of Dakota Ii now 10 nearly
ascertained "a to make it certain that the
population of the territory is nearly or
quite 400, 600. This wonderful growtl,
from the $4,000 Of the United States
census five years ago. It shows how far
from being "played out" the Dakota
boom is, audit foretells a future for the
territory surprising all the dreams Of ite
people. The census also convicts the
democratic party of an insane PARTISAN
ship beyond anything known in Ameri-
can history. The Bourbon majority in
the national house of representatives has
pcrsistcntly refused to consider the
appeals of Dakota for admission to the
sisterhood Of states, claiming that the
size and development ofthe territory did
not justify such action. Cleveland

st. Paul and Minneapolis were both
considerably excited OH Saturday last
over the announcement of the census
returns for the two cities. There had
been much speculation us tn the re.
lative growth of the two cities, Ill.
though it was conceded OH both sides
that Minneapolis had exceeded st.
Paul, but few had supposed that the
present difference in population would
reach over $4,000. Yet such is the
case, and Minneapolis is greatly re-.
joiced thereat, while there are many
in st. Paul who profess not to lie
altogether satisfied that the figuring is
correct. The two cities, however,
have had u growth almost phenomenal,
u growth in the last five years that has
no parallel in the history of the
country. That these two cities will
continue to grow rs they have, for the
next five years, may be doubted. 1t is
scarcely possible that this far North.
western country will continue to be so
largely dependent upon these two
cities us jobbing and commercial
centres. Rival trade cemters, though
less powerful, will develop nearer by,
and divide with st. Paul and Minne-
apolis the trade Of which they now
have a monopoly.

Territorial Fair.

: U Me lNUuC:
Arrangements for the Territorial Fair
to be held ut Huron on Sept. 10Th and
3Oth and Oct. LIST and End, are rapidly
progressing and the prospects for grand
success are very fattering. 1t has been
decided to allot separate spaces for the
various county exhibits and quite a
number ofcounties have already signitied
their intention of making display. A
definite and determined effort is now
being made to provide for large excursion
parties from the East and with such
promise of success that in all probability
there will be hundreds of eastern people
present to avail themselves of SO favor
able all opportunity to investigate
Dakota's productiveness. Under such
circumstances the desirability of having
a county represented will he understood
by all enterprising citizens. As is already
understood the transportation of these
exhibits will be without cost. Apply to
your station agent for particulars and
notify me at once if you desire space for
an exhibit. This is absolutely necessary
in order that the superintendent of con-
struction can act intelligently. The pri,,-
cipal railway companies are giving the
Fair their hearty encouragement. A
considerable portion Of the New Orleans
exhibit will be displayed. Governor
Pierce will be present and deliver the
fret animal orlrrocs
Large exhibits of fine horses and blood
ed stock are already assured. The Terri
torial Horticultural and Forestry Asso-
citation are making special exertions for
a fine display. Large purses have been
offered in the speed department and ex-
citing races may be expected. Negotia-
tons for grand band tournament now
promise success. Free motive power for
machinery is offered, AMI the exhibit in
this line will be u strong at
traction. The ladies department is re-
ceiving especial attention and an unusual
effort will be made to make it one of the
most pleasing features Of the exposition.
The Board of Agricultur have under
taken this great work. out of purely
patriotic motives, realizing the great
benefits that will accrue from asuccessful
display. Dakota astonislled the world at
New Orleans, and with a great portion of
the New Orleans exhibit at her command
she can upon her own soil far eclipse her
successful efforts at that place. Our
success depends upon the people,
and Dakota people never fail. Do not
depend upon the efforts of your neighbor.
Go to work Yourself. Notify me ut the
earliest possible moment of your intention
to exhibit that space may be provided.
Write your friends in the east to join
the excursion parties. Do your part and
Dakota will make the grandest exhibit in
the great northwest.
