LETTER FROM FARGO. 1 /Vac Mr. Editor . -Since that season 1 of the year Is fast approaching when tbe average young man turns toward the land ' of the setting sun And liks himself wbcih- ' cr be rhall seek what her fertile plains ' Save in store for him. and more especially' ' from the fact that the late adventures of . ' certain noble cons of Cape May in the great south wear were attended by (lis- j I attrout results, it has occurred to me that ' 1 an epistle, with a few candid opinion! from ; ' s south Jersey-man in Dakota, would out 1 be inappropriate at the present time. 1 In writing of the Territory it is fashionable, and indeed it is only natural that : 1 It should be an. to commence with Fargo, the great northwestern wheat region. ' The city takes iu name from the late ' ' Mr. Fargo, of Wolla. Fargo & Co., ex- ! ' pressmen. It is loomed about 275 miles | 1 northwest of SL Paul. Minn., on the west i hsnk of tbe Bed river on the North. | 1 While this place has not developed as rap 1 idly, perhaps, as arroe of the mushroom | ' clUes in the mining districts of the ccn- I tralweet, its advance l(js been a healthy ] ' one and it is already asa-omiog proportions ' ' that surpass even tho moat aanguinc hopes j i of its projectors. In '72 there was not s [ 1 shanty to mark the spot where today ' stands a city of 6000 souls. lis growth { 1 has been more marked within .the past, three years. Tbe use of real esuie values 1 will Illustrate l hie point more clearly. Lots that could hare bre»~pnrchased in ; < '79 for J150 are scjliel nt^ the present time for five, clgbfand ten thousand doi- j i la r*. and they are iVgrrat demand at these j : apparent enormous figures. Fargo has ail modern improvements and ; conveniences.

After tbe surrender of Appomattox I gave all the necessary orders for tbe parolling and releasing of priwinen. and ordered General Meade to march the army to take tbe Burkville and tbe Western mvl.
