Dakota as One state.

EDITOR Carrie; Without trespassing
upon your time will say that after cast
ing the Republican ticket for twenty-five
years, experience teaches me that Congress
will confer great fhvof on the people of
Dakota bv- admitting il as one State, We
are aware that it will make few Office
seeke-s sore, but bear in mind it Is the
bard-working class who are TO be benefited
by this act. The whole Nation is looking
on TO see what is to be the result.
= see nothing unreasonable in Mr.
.Springers bill; hope it will pass We
swant the present worth of Dakota, and
not 70 be kept out Of the Union for ten
years for the sake of giving some fire-eater
a fat oflice-say, for instance, representa-
ton Of the southern half. Therefore, l
ask Congress, in behalf of large majority
of both North and South Dakota, to give
no oredence to wire-pulling in this case,
but give us Dakota whole.

Michigan's lumber supply.

One of his colleagues in the Senate said
to Mr.. Palmer Of Michigan the other day:
palmer, Isuppose that between legiti-
mate numbering, lumber stealing and
fires, the timber is getting pretty scarce in
Michigan"
For a moment Mr. Palmer looked ut
his friend pityingly and then replied:
"Just to think what q common school
system we have and with it all, United
States Senator to ask such a question
Why, my dear sir, there is timber enough
now standing in the State Of Michigan to
make three board fences, posts and all,
fifteen boards high, clear around the
earth, once a year for fifteen years"
That removed the questioner's doubts
at least in Mr., Palmer's opinion, / sup

But he was utterly exhausted in this long

paid to him till the next morning, and
very little then. He died from the injury
after enduring great suffering.

From the window where was had a
good view of the proceedings below. In
a short time all the force of the place, in
GLIDING regiment OF cavalry, was drawn
mp in front of the jail. / heard Col. Lee
directing the pursuit. He was in tower
ing passion, and shouted out his orders in
very angry tone. Said he: Don't take
one of the villains alive. Shoot them down
and let them lie in the woods" He
ordered pickets to be placed at the ferries
of the Chattahoochee, along the railroads
and at all cross roads. ! was glad to hear
such arrangements, for these were the
very places we had agreed to avoid!
All night long the guard talked over
their adventures. There was hammock
belonging to one Of the prisoners in the
front room, and this he kindly permitted
me to occupy. 1t was suspended right be-
fore the window, and could hear and see
much that was going on. The guards had
their reserve around a camp fire close by,
and could hear their discussion Of their
parts in the affray. Generally they
lauded their own bravery to the SKIES,
telling how they had served the prisoners
who had broken out upon them. Occa-
sionally one who had been present then
would suggest that it did not show great
deal Of bravery to let unarmed men snatch
their guns from them, but such limited
ISLANDERS were always received with the
contempt tney deserved, ana the WorK OF
self praise went on. One wondered at the
speed of the Yankees who had been kept
in prison so long. Another, of a philo-
sophical turn of mind, accounted for it by
saying that they had received so much
practice in running away in all the battles
they had fought, that it was no wonder
they were feet of foot! This sally re-
ceiTed prodigious applauseI
This was doleful night. AS 1 heard
one after another of the Q1IarCi9 tell how
he had shot one Of the prisoners, how an
other had been wounded and had no doubt
crawled of somewhere to die, and speak
of the great preparation for the search, it
did seem very doubtful whether any
would survive.
