"proof to convict," and of the three requisites, the latter is evidently the all-important one to the end in view. Of the mode and amount of evidence necessary to determine the presence of each of these requisites, this act, as I have already said, makes you the judge. Of what constitutes "proof to convict," I may remark that convictiou itself is of course the best evidence, but in cases where no actual conviction has been had, it would seem that the only evidence which would prima facie constitute "proof to convict," would be the voluntary confessions of the parties themselves, when made under such circumstances as to render it competent to prove these confessions i on the trial in court. Such confessions are clearly "proof to convict," in the strict sense of that phrase, especially when they are supplemented and confirmed by the similar confessions of accomplices. Any proof short of this would leave doubt of its sufficiency until an actual convictiou should have been obtained. It is evident that the proofs submitted to .- ?nnli/Jitir r\f nlaimg nnrtpr vuu lu esuiuuau cue >auui?; v? ....... this act, should not rest solely on the affidavits, or statements of the individual claimant, but should in all cases be'supported and attested by the official certificates of the officers who were charged with the arrest, detention and trial, of the persons on account of whose arrest apd delivery with proof to convict, the claim is made. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, JAS. A. DUNBAR, Acting Attorney-General. In presenting proofs of claims, the claimant must in all cases file therewith the official certificate of the officer to whom the delivery of the party arrested was made. In all cases of actual conviction in court, the claimant must file the certificate of the United States District Attorney, stating that the claimant furnishes the necessary "proof to convict." In all cases of confession, the claimant must file the certificate of the officer who received the confession, stating that it was in all respects voluntary. All claims will be examined in the order in which they are filed, and twenty days from the date hereof will be allowed for filing claims and proofs. By order of His Excellency, the Governor. . H. H. D. BYRON, Private Secretary. Correspondence of the Yorkville Enquirer. LETTER FROM~ MINNESOTA. St. Paul, February 22, 1873. I have gradually approached the north pole until I have got as near to it as a reasonable man might wish. I feel the cold wind from the eternal icebergs of the north every time I venture ten feet from the fire-side. To-day the thermometer marks twenty-eight degrees below zero, which is an intensity of cold that you in the genial clime of South Carolina can not realize. In going from my hotel this morning, (a less distance than from the Enquirer office to the depot) I had to stop and warm at stores along the street four times. My nose and ears ached with the bitter cold, and my fingers were benumbed. It is the wind 1 '? u?i_x rr matmases inecoiaso nneuse. 1 ncn^-cigui degrees below zero, with a stfbng wind, such as has been blowing to-day, is worse than forty-five degrees below zero and the atmosphere still. In the great storm of last month, nearly two hundred people were frozen to death, yet the thermometer did not sink to thirty* degrees below zero until after the storm was over. It was the fearful, blinding wind and snow that did the work. Men perished within fifty feet of houses, not being able to see ten feet from them. The most heart-rending stories reach my ears of the suffering by the storm. Of over one hundred instances of terrible torture, perhaps that of Mr. Evans, of Fillmore county, is the saddest. He was a minister, and had been away to preach, taking his family with him. On his return in his sleigh the storm overtook him when within less than a mile of home. He had with him his wife, little boy and babe. His horse became blinded by the storm, and finally stopped in a snow drift, unable to go any further. Mr. Evans took his little boy in his arms and pushed through the terrible drifts and blinding snow for home. He found it, aud left his little boy to return to the sleigh, taking some blankets with him. These he wrapped around his frail wife,and, taking the babe in his arras, started for home. Poor man, he never found it! The home he found is above, and was reached through icy portals. In the blinding, driving, pelting snow and fearful cold he lost his way, and perished with his tender little babe folded to his breast. Who can picture the agony of this poor man as he floundered in the bewildering drifts, completely lost, but knowing that his wife was freezing in the sleigh alone, that his child was at home dying alone, and he unable to reach either of them, or save the babe in his arms ? Could death, in any form, be more cruel? None but God above knows how long he struggled in the blinding blast before he yielded to the fury of the storm. All we do know is, that father, mother, child and babe perished. When the neighbors called at the house after the abatement of the storm, it had but a solitary little frozen occupant. The poor child had died alone?died in pain and grief, for the icy tears were upon its little cheek. The wife and mother was found in the sleigh, a stiffened corpse. The dead father, with the dead babe upon his breast, was a mile away, where he had sunk down frozen, exhausted and lost in the driving snow. Another sad case was that of a young man who was just returning from Canada with his bride. His father went out to meet them, and the happy trio were driving home iu a sleigh, unconscious of danger. Suddenly the storm burst upon them. The team could not keep the road and finally it was lost. To find it again was the only hope, and father and son left the sleigh to find the road. They never returned. They became lost themselves, and wandered, nobody knows where, only their dead bodies were found a mile and a i .L. LI?u fi? nail out upon tut: uiean pi tune. jluo jauj became anxious for their safety and left the sleigh to try and find them. She became lost herself, and was found two days after under the shelter of a pile of logs, but frozen so badly that both lower limbs have been amputated below the knee. Poor girl! the cruel storm has left her upon the shore, a wreck, crippled and desolate. I might fill many columns of the Enquirer with interesting details of the great storm, some of which the reader might not be inclined to believe. But you cannot realize the terrible fury of the storms that rage iu this extreme northern State. To-day, I do not believe a man could live out upon the prairie, exposed to the wind, more than two hours. I know that my time would be up in less than two hours. I would not risk an hour for a fortune. You may laugh at this, reader, in the warm and genial State of South Carolina, but it is the truth. This has been a fearful winter. Every rail- j road in the State has spent more money keep- j ing the tracks clear from snow (or trying to) j than for any other item. It has cost some of: the roads seventy-five thousand dollars a j month. In the northern part of the State the coldest weather marked fifty-two degrees below zero. A man cannot realize how cold that is. Yet with all the fearful drawbacks of cli, mate, Minnesota is progressing finely. Her taxable property increases at the rate of about fifteen millions of dollars a year. For instance, in the county adjoining this, there was, in 1862, two million dollars worth of taxable 1 property. Last year there was nearly nine millions! In some of the counties, the increase was even greater. So you see an extraordinarily cold climate seems to spur the j people to hard labor, and consequently they j become rapidly wealthy. A man has to work here lively to keep from freezing, and sometimes they freeze any way. Land is cheap, and is nnequaled for the culture of wheat. For from five to fifteen dollars an acre you can buy land that will bring from thirty to forty bushels of wheat to the acre every year. The wheat crop never fails. It is now worth, in the country, from ninety cents to a dollar a bushel. Corn is worth forty cents ; pork, three fifty a hundred ; potatoes, forty cents, and in fact, everything in the provision line is very cheap. I will give you another letter from here shortly. Nemo.

Steam on Common Roads.?The following is an extract of a letter received by Mr. Richard Tozer, of Columbia, from the general agent of the Traction Steam Engine Company in New York, Mr. W. C. Oastler. It was written by Mr. G. W. Dick, of Ross, Ohio: We have used our engine for almost all possible purposes. On the gravel road, for drawing logs out of the wood, for threshing grain, and are now hauling pork in the streets of Cincinnati, over a boulder pavement. On the macadamized road we draw from Hamilton to Venice, including wagons, 25,000 pounds of coal, at one load?a distance of 11 miles. For logs in the woods she is uuequaled ; we detach the engine from the wagon, and roll the tree on to the wagon, an inch at a time, if we choose, and hold it there?a feat that horse power will not perform. All who see her at this are amazed at the power we possess, and say she seems a thing of life. We drew a tree of average girth of over 7 feet, and 731 in length, from our timber, about four miles distant, and we calculate it weighed eight tons or more. We have threshed nearly 40,000 bushels of j grain with her since harvest, and have found | no place that we were unable to reach, no ; matter what the grade or how deep the mud. j Her facility for taking herself and thresher j away, makes her a great favorite with the farmers, who have been bored with hitching their horses to a heavy steam engine, and spoiling them with the overload. Our greatest gain is in time, moving from place to place. In five minutes after the last sheaf is through, we are on the road ; and we once moved 600 I feet, and were threshing again in ten minutes from the time the last sheaf was through at | the last place (by a watch held on us by a I friend.) We are now drawing pork in the streets of Cincinnati, and we draw from twelve to fifteen tons at a load. After the Officials.?Joseph Crews, one of the members of the Legislature from Laurens, publishes the following card in the Columbia Union of last Saturday: Important?To all Whom it may Concern.?All persons who hold orders upon the State Treasurer, drawn against any appropriation made by the General Assembly, at its recent session, are hereby requested to inform the undersigned, by mail, as to the amount of their respective orders, for what and by whom they were drawn, and whether payment has been refused. The object of this notice is to facilitate the payment in full of all orders that have been legally drawn against existing ap> propriations. No charge will be made for the registration. Holders of such orders are earnestly advised not to submit to any discount, as there are ample funds to pay them in full. TAomrr Pornra u uo?>rxi vajuno* Jinaitrial anb Commercial.

SPRING, 1873. TO MERCHANTS. THE great aim of our HOUSE, since Its establishment, has been to make Charlotto A WHOLESALE MART, and ours THE HOUSE, and to conduct our business so as to outgrow the alleged and even accepted opinion of some that thereis a kind of obloquy attached to them for buying in Charlotte; and having, by the very great increase of our business (since we removed to our new and elgant Store,) been convinced that we have partially succeded in our cherished plan, we have concluded to endeavor to still further eradicate the erroneous idea, by presenting, this coming season, to the Trade a still - . .wn nTTirrvncD A QQCRTRT) STOCK JLiA?lClX!<IV A A U JDU1 imt than even WE ever offered before, so that a country Merchant will be able to fina in our House, not only what he needs, but a very large Stock to select from; thereby being enabled to operate with a much smaller capital than he can by buying in different houses North, where he must necessarily buy more goods than he actually needs IN ORDER TO HAVE AN ASSORTMENT. In view of the foregoing, Mr. RINTELS left on the 27th January, (much earlier than usual,) for Northern Markets and Manufacturing places, where ho will remain two months in making our purchases, buying everything from first hands on the same terms as any Jobbing House in Baltimore, Philadelphia, or New York; and the assortment when thus completed will foot up in amount to upward of TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. The expenses attached to carrying on a business here being much less than it would be in Northern Cities, and having a lower rate of freight than smaller shippers here, we are in a position to successfully COMPETE WITH ANY JOBBING HOUSE in the United States, and to the inspection of which wo invite the Trade. We are pleased to state to those unacquainted with our House, that we keep complete lines of DRY GOODS, GROCERIES, HARDWARE, Olothing, Boots and Shoes, Notions, and even Millinery. Our Retail Department is complete, with the latest Novelties, and in bulk second to none in the City. Our Millinery Department will be carried on as usual. Very Respectfully, WITTKOWSKY & RINTELS.
