Now that war is on, Dave Clough will pose as
the war Governor of Minnesota.
The above paragraph is taken from
the Mortified NeaUs, Joel P. Heat
wole's paper. AS a sample of bad
taste and unfairness it has only been
equalled, and never excelled, by the
Wheeling Register in its criticism of
the administration in 1861 1866. Dave
Clough can no more help being war
governor than Heatwole can help be-
ing member Of a war congress; and the
idea OF Dave Clough posing" is as
improbable as the idea Of HeatWole
not posing.

SOME vivisector should be allowed
to make an elaborate examination of
the individual who recently wrote a
communication to the ST. Paul Pioneer
Press which was headed "Dewey de-
serves no praise" The writer must be
wrong mentally and morally, to put
fourth such a proposition. If Dewey
did no more than his duty he deserves
the praise of his fellow citizens. But
the people believe that Dewey not only
did his full duty but he brought to the

that his achievement very closely ap-

Recalled by the Possibility of Scrap
With Spain.
At this time, when all the talk is
about the controversy between the
United States and Spain, old soldiers
are reminded of the DAYS which tried
mems pluck during the late war.
Justice t. B Douthit, Of Salem,
showed SENTINEL man copy
of an extra" issued by the editors of
the old Salem Peoples Press, on July
9th, 1861. 1t contains letter from
Capt. Wharton, of the "Forsyth
Grays," dated Manassas Gap, Va July
22d, the day after the great battle.
In his letter Capt. Wharton says:
'Our regiment is now and has been
for four days at place called Bulls
Run or Point of Rocks, four miles
from Manassas Gap, where the great
battle was fought yesterday Sunday
The mum Der of the enemy, as reported
by themselves, was from co. 900 to
10000 and they were completely routed
and wounded and 900 prisoners. Our
loss is supposed to be about 2 500 in
killed and wounded, our strength hav-
ing been less than 40, ,000.'
"Our regiment was placed in the
centre, but the attack was principally
on the left wing of our army. AL
though the enemy fired some $50 shot
and shell at US, they did not approach
near enough for musketry, and not a
single man in our regiment was hurt.
We captured from the enemy a large
amount of artillery and baggage"
The "eXtra" contains other reports
from the big battle. A letter dated
July 25th says: "a passenger from
Manassas says that only between 40
and SO were killed in the North Caro-
lima Regiments. The only officer
killed was Col, Fisher"
