A letter dropped by a rebel was recently nicked up by our men near Ilolly Springs from which the following is an extract, "I am discouraged, sick and worn out physically, mentally and morally. I need to be encouraged. I want to know what sensible men think now of our prospects "1 must confess that the prospects look very gloomy. I look around and see so much ambition, selfishness and wickedness, I almost blush to hear such men claim the Lord to be on our side. I just think we are overpowered. A great many of the delu sions with which we started out have be come unveiled and vanished, such as whip ping three to one, and so forth.

Tbon^stmfcetmnofthishu The Case of the Minnesota Indians* The following is the protest against Presi dential clemency in the case of the three hun. dred Indians convicted of participating in the Minnesota outrages, signed by Senator Wil kinson and Representatives Aldrioh and Win dorn, which was laid before the President, and of which we have heretofore given a tele graphic synopsis: WASHINGTON, Dec. 3, 1862. To the President of tho United States: SIR: We have learned, indirectly, that you intend to pardon or reprieve a large ma jority of the Indians in Minnesota, who have een formally condemned for their participa tion in the brutal massacre of our people in the months of August and September last.— If this be your purpose, as Representatives from that State, we beg leave most respectful ly to protest against it, and we do so for the following reasons: These Indians were condemned, most of them, upon the testimony of women whom they had carried into captivity, after having murdered their fathers, husbands and broth ers, and who were treated by these Indians with a brutality never known before in this country, nor equalled in the practices of the most barbarous nations. There were nearly ninet}' female captives. They were the wives and daughters of our neighbors and friends They were intelligent and virtuous women.— Some of them were wives and mothers oth ers were young and interesting girls. These savages, to whom you propose to ex tend your Executive clemency, when the whole country was quiet and the farmers were busily angaged in gathering their crops, arose with fearful violence, and traveling from one farm house to another, indiscriminately mur dered all the men, boys, and little children they came to and, although they sometimes spared the lives of the mothers and daugh ters, they did so only to take them into cap tivity which was infinitely worse that death. Mr. President, let us relate to you some facts with which we fear you have not here tofore been made acquainted. I Those Indians whom (as we understand) I yon propose to pardon and set free, have murdered in cold blood nearly or quite one availablee man to protect ., thousand of our people ravaged our frontier hey have ^ued our pileMe ,. 1 .. for a d:st ince of more than one hundred and fifty miles, north and south burned the houses of our settlers, and driven from their homes more than ten thousand of our people.

To show you, sir, the enormity of these outrages, we beg leave to state a few fiets which are well known to our people, but deli cacy forbids that we should mention the names of the parties to whom we refer. In one instance some ten or twelve of these Indians visited the house of a worthy farmer. who, at the time, was enframed with his sons in stacking wheat. They stealthily approach ed the place where the honest farmer was at work, and, seizing their opportunity, shot the father and his two sons at the stack. The) then went to the house, killed two little1 chil dren in the presence of their mother, who was quite ill with consumption, and then they took the sick mother and a beautiful little But this is not all, nor is it the most appalling feature of this awful tragedy. Its horrors is yet to be revealed. After removing these un happy prisoners to a lodge which was some miles away, these fiends incarnate, after plac ing a guard over the body of the weary and exhausted mother, took her little one outside the lodge, removed all her clothes, and fas tened her upon her back on the ground.— They then commenced their work of brutali ty upon the body of this young girl. One by one they violated her person, unmoved by her cries and unchecked by the evident signs of her approaching dissolution. This work was continued until her Heavenly Father re* lieved her from suffering. They left her dwd vpon the ground. This outrage was com mitted within a few feet of a sick and dying mother. more to CaB, A W E lira.

Instant, and reported the ahore fact,. the snfcseriWg A a Mr. President, there was nojustification or pretext even for these brutalities. We state what we know when we say that the Sioux agent, Major Galbraitb, has labored faithful lyand efficiantly for the welfare of these In dians. The Government, as yon know, has built a house and opened a farm for every one of these Indians who would reside upon -and cultivate it. Missionaries, as our worthy Bishop can testify, have labored zealously among them for their spiritual welfare. There There is another instance of a girl eighteen years of age. We knew her well before and at the time of her capture. She was as re fined and beautiful a girl as we had in the "U-A ...„,» u„«t». e~ ~Ac LJMr. Galpen ascertained from her that another Estate. had more ogr better friends no|woman wae Sbc behind l^r, a {Q a S a frrmn »_, *mkM ___... jgui fortunately fc*ed totestifiy against 0 were compelled to leave A *. -n. .r sPargl fwhoseiatber ande mother bad been I to effect the release of the nnfwtnnate cap* has been paid to them yearly the interest op- on $2,000,000. Farming implements have been purchased, and farmers have been era ployed by the Government to improve and cultivate their lands. These Indians are called by some, prisoners of war. There wag no war about it. It was wholesale robbery, rape and murder. These Indians were not at war with their murdered victims. The people of Minnesota, Mr. President, have stood firm by you, and by your Admin istration. They have given both you and it their cordiai support. They have not violated law. They have borne these sufferings with a patience such as but few people ever ex hibited under such extreme trial. These In dians are now at their mercy but our people have not risen up to slaughter them, because they believe that their President would deal with them justly. We are told, Mr. President, that a com mittee from Pennsylvania, whose familes are living happily in their pleasant homes in that State, have called upon you, and petitioned you. to pardon the Indians. We have a high respect for the religious sentiments of your petitioners but we submit that it is a bad taste, indeed, that it is entirely unbecoming them, to interfere in matters with which they are so little acquainted, and which relate en tirely to the security of our own people. Weprotdsi against the pardon of these In dians because, if it is done, the Indians will become more insolent and cruel than they ever were before, believeing—asthcj'- certain ly will believe—that their great father at Washington either justifies their acts or is afraid to punish them forthcir crimes. We pro4est agaimt it, because if the Presi dent does not permit these executions to take place under the forms of law, the outraged people of Minnesota will dispose of these wretches without law. These two people cannot live together. We do not wish to see mob law inaugurat ed in Minnesota, as it certainly will be if you force the people to it. We tremble at the ap proach of such a condition of things in our Slate. 1 I! all rilJifl .ui.ii mmmm arms had been mangled with the savages' knives and otherwise fearfully wounded, and left on the ground for dead You can give us peace, or you can give us lawless violence. We pray you, sir, in view of all that we have suffered, and of the danger which still awaits us, let the law be executed —let justice he done our people. With high respect, we are your ob'tservants, M. S. WII.KIXSOX, Cvuts ALDKICH, tty WM. Wixnosf. The Minnesota Captives Among the Indians I.:/tij-ts Made to Ransom Them. The following from the Vermilion, D. T., Republican gives the sequel up to November. 22d, the date of the paper, of the narrative furnish by William G. Stewart, of Sioux City in a letter to Governor Ramsey, which we published a few days ago. concerning the whereabouts of the Minnesota captives now in the hands of the Indians. About the first instant, Mr. Galpen being to the American Fur Company, with eleven' others, on their way down from the moun tains, in a Mackinaw boat, while some 150 miles above Fort Pierre, were fired into by 400 Santies, and compelled to go ashore with their provisions, &c, and would have been murdered had it not been for Galpcn's wife —a Yancton Sioux-—who told the Indians that if they killed them (the whites,) her re lations would not stop until they massacred the last one of their party seen by Galpen. Among the Indians was found a Miss Price, a young lady about eighteen yeara old, a daughter of James Price, of Illinois.
