The Indian vs. the Atrican.
yphy should the poor captured rebel Indians
In Minnesota lie hung, when the Federal*
havs three regiments of Indians? If these
men are soldiers, as by the act of the govern
ment the three thousand in onr service must
be considered, how can they be treated as fel
ous and not soldiers ? The red man, the orig
inal possessor of the soil, surely stands a worse
chance than the African.—[Argus.
The above is characteristic. We have failed
to detect, in a careful reading of that paper,
the first instance in which it has given the
government credit for a single proper act, or
in which it has tailed to find fault; and yet
the Argus is a loyal paper, of course. It has
no sympathy for rebellion, though it never has
a railing accusation to bring against the reb
els ; it has great sympathy for the government,
though it finds fault with all its acts; it has
very ardent desires for the success of our gov
ernment in putting down rebellion, though it
is innocent of ever Jiving expression to any
such desires. Yet the Argus is loyal, for its ;
editors are loyal men, of course; for who ever
knew a Democrat w ho was not loyal, and a
friend to his country'
It is known to our readers that three hun
dred Indians in Minnesota, guilty of the mur
der of at least one thousand defenceless peo
ple of that State—the victims in most cases j
women and children—have been arrested and ■
sentenced to death. The President lias re- i
fused to sanction the finding of the court and j
their execution, except in the case of thirty- j
nine, who, the evidence showed, w ere guilty
not simply of acts of war, hut of wanton mas
sacre of the perfectly defenceless. But the
Armi* obieets to their execution, and would
have them treated not as lelons, bat as prison- i
ers of war—“swear them and let them go,” to
tomahawk and scalp still other women and
children! We can imagine no possible rea
son lor this course of the Argus, except that
the culprits were the allies of its democratic j
friends in the South—the pliant tools of the
rebels, as shown by Senator Rice of that State. j
But what we wish to notice specially is the
tlur at the African, which the Argus con
trives to get off. “The red man—the original
possessor of the soil—surely stands a worse •
chance than the African.” The red man, the
“original possessor,” sold his claim to the soil
in Minnesota for an annuity, and has been
treated honorably and farily by the govern
ment; but still he becomes the instrument of
rebels, and imbrues his hands in the warm
blood of defenceless women and children; but
for him the Argus has “bowels of compassion.”
But the African, stolen from his native soil,
and for generations reduced to the most abject
bondage for no crime—for him there must be
no compassion! And yet who has ever known
the African to return evil for good? When
has he betrayed the confidence of those who J
have shown him a favor, or laliored for his ele
vation? When did he ever become the tool
of assassins to murder those who had treated ;
him kindly? But he is black; God has made j
him so, and though never treacherous, though
characterized for his docility, and though his :
affectional qualities dominate in his soul, the
Argus would show him no mercy; while the |
ever treacherous Indian, because he is not a
slave, but is the tool and instrument of slave
holders, it would treat with a lenity of which !
he has proved himself unworthy. Such, to
our mind, seems the exact ground occupied
by the Eastern Argus.
Opinions of n Maine General Officer.
A few days since we received a private let
ter from an officer in the service, from this
State, a man who was among the earliest to of
fer his services to the government, w ho fought
at the first battle of Buil Run, w ho has been
in some of the most sanguinary conflicts of
the war, who has never flinched from duty,
and who now is in command of a brigade in
one of the localities most favorably situated
to allow him to observe critically the relation
of the slave iuterest to the war, and to judge
wisely of the effect of the President's emanci
pation proclamation, which he—old Democrat
as he is—warmly sustains. We are not at lib
erty to give his hume, but we ask careful at- |
tention to the following extracts:
Butler lias organized two regiments of fu- j
gitive slaves—“Native Guards”—free negroes \
large number of them enlisted for my regi
ment (officers’ scouts) brought down from Ba
ton Kouge. Everybody speaks in the highest
terms of them. They tire “raw” you know,
have had little drill, but have already shown
themselves at the “Bayou Lafource” allair
brave and true. I know they will tight.
There is another thing, in my judgment,
which our people do not quite understand.—
McClellan and Buell have had the idea that it
was necessary to drill an army a great w hile
before putting them into action. This must i
depend upon the kind of soldiers you have.
Such men as we have from the North will not j
stand it. Such men as we are sending from
the State of Maine, are better fitted for fiyht
three months after enlistment than they ever
will be. They are men of intelligence—action.
A longer period of inactivity—friends lost by
disease, Ac., — discourages and demoralizes
them. Pul them into the tight, for me, when
their courage is good. The army of the Po
tomac (the old army) is not worth so much
to-day as it was twelve months ago. The new
levies—nine months men—may infuse new life j
into them, but in God's name don’t let them j
become demoralized by long delay with the
old stagers. * *
-‘s popularity with the army was simp
ly on account of his peace policy—never w ill
ingly driving his men to the front, or putting
them under lire. Soldiers are not over anx-,
ious to get into a light, but those who survive
fee! very proud of it aftet wards. More men
however, have been lost by disease than could
have been lost in any unsuccessful attack to
take Richmond. But still we think while de
lay kills men by disease that God is at fault,
while death in battle is chargeable to man.
The Alabama legislature have resolved that
rather than surrender Mobile, their only sea
port, to the invaders, it should be defended
from street to street, from house to house,
inch by inch, until if it were taken, the
victors’ spoils should be only a heap of ashes.
The Mayor of Mobile is perfectly satisfied with
this understanding. Meanwhile Gov. Brown
of Georgia sends this message to his legisla
ture:
1 have been informed by the Military Com
mander at Savannah, that it is inteuded to
make a defense of the city to extremity: anti
he requests assistance from the state in the
removal of the women aud children anti other
non-combatants from the city. In view of
the fate of New Orleans and other cities that
have been surrendered to the enemy, I cordial
ly endorse and approve this resolution of the
Confederate General. Get us hold the city as
long as a house or a brick w’till is left standing,
behind which our troops can fight; and let the
state assume the loss occasioned by the des
truction of property, or at least, divide it with
the sufferers.
It will be necessary that food and shelter be
provided for such of the non-combatants as
are unable to take care of themselves, as soon
as possible, that they may be removed in ad
vance of the attack. Therefore I recommend
an early appropriation 01 two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars for this purpose.
Are these peaceful words of erring brothers
ready to return to the Union—for a considera
tion ?

Howard’s Division, I
Fredericksburg, Ya., Dec. 12th, 1862. i
To the Editorn of the Portland Preen :
You will have learned by telegraph long be
fore this reaches you, the main matures of the
taking of Fredericksburg, by Gen. Howard’s
Division assisted by most of the Artillery of
| Sumner’s command. No doubt it was a day
of anxious waiting to all who were aware that
the army was iu motion, but you at home can
not easiiy comprehend the intensity of anxiety
of those who witness the details of action,while
the event hangs iu fearful uncertainty—the de
pression at times—the ebb and flow of hope,
and on the. other hand the excitement which
attends success; the glow of exultation, the
thrill of admiration for those who have attain
ed it, thankfulness to Him who gave it;—these
emotions mingling till and crowd the heart,the
preponderance of each depending upon the pe
culiar temperament of the beholder. Of the
participant the same is true adding the inteusi
llcation of which comes from personal con
tact. and the varied emotions which spring
from self-love.
Experience taught us lessons of this kind
yesterday, when in the darkness of the foggy
morning hour just after swallowing a hasty
breakfast, we heard the opening roar of the
cannon, and listened with practiced ear to de
cide w hether they were our own or the ene
my’s guns; iu the bustle of a hurried depart
ure from cani|)—the buckling on of spurs—the
clasping round of sabre belts, rolling up of
robes or blankets,fastening them upon the sad
dles. sharp words to the Hurried ostler who has
too much to do in too short a time—the brief
and pointed directions of the general, sending
one aid here,and another there,giving distinct
ly tile order of march—which brigade leads,
where the column will be formed, the place
for the artillery. On the horses now, trotting
over the frozen and icy ground; the Adjutant
Geueral to stop at this point aud see each
brigade ont of camp; the Ordnance OHicer, to
go ill search of the ammunition train which
has already moved ; one brigade is long in get
ting out of'camp; the general often looks at
his watch, and remarks that" the appointed
hour has not quite arrived; the forge of our
battery gets stuck fast iu crossing a brook;
lilt vt^iii iiui.'cs uu uui iuii luguuu , iui j ciij.»
upon the frosty ground: they are turned this
way, then that; whipped, scolded; men lift
on the wheels; tlie forge still sticks fast; the
appointed hour lias arrived; the general is
getting i npatient, hut the aid sent to bring
out the dilatory brigade arrives and says Geu.
-lias started and we now see the head
of his column; the eight horses of the forge,
are turned far off to the left while the strength
of the artillery men and others,the general has
temporarily impressed, is applied directly anil
with levers to the wheels and then the horses
pull a little, feel encouraged when it starts, as
do we all, and up comes tlie forge out of the
liird when it has been delayed llfteen minutes,
which have seemed an hour. The cannon mean
while are booming away. Au aid of the Gen
eral rides up and says tlie other two divis
ions are in motion parallel to ours. We are
to cross three bridges which are expected to
be completed by the time we reach the river's
bank.
The fog is lifting, and there is some dan
ger that our column will be seen liy the ene
my as it passes over the hill, anil it will cer
tainly draw their lire upon 11s, if seen. The
kindly fog covers us till we are protected by
another hill, behind which we are ordered to
inarch and halt till further orders. It seems
that tlie bridges are not yet finished, though
begun at ‘1 o'clock a. m. Soon the word comes
that the laying of the pontoons progresses ve
ry slowly, owing to ‘.he enemy's sharp shoot
ers who are concealed in houses and behind,
barricades, rille-pits etc., and "drop" our engi
neers as soon as they step upon the bridge.
It is now sunrise and the bridge is not half
way across. A brigade of our division is or
dered lorw aid—part to support the batteries,
and part to stand upon tlie bunk and, if possi
ble. to clear away tlie rebel sharpshooters by
volleys. Col. Hall's brigade, consisting of tlie
19th and -Oth Mass., the pill Mich., tlie 69th
and 4gd N. Y. ami lgptb I*a., goes to the front.
Gen. Howard accompanied them to a point
near our batteries, and as they tiled past him,
he spoke words of cheer to the men. He then
returned ami rode along tlie front of all the
remaining regiments including the 19th Maine
which belongs to Gen. Sully’s brigade, address
ing the men in a similar manner.
Your space will not allow me to go through
the anxious day as minutely as I have liegun.
Soon Geu. II. rides over to the advanced brig
ade. where the shells have been striking un
comfortably near, but no one hurt except those
upon tlie bank of tlie river by the villainous
bullets of tlie rebel sharpshooters. A Lt. Col
onel and three captains have already been
struck—Lt. Col. Hull, we know him w ell,mor
tally wounded.
It is now nearly 4 o'clock p. m.. and that
bridge is only hall way across. The 7th Mich.,
formerly Col. Hall’s regiment volunteers to
cross in boats in the face of tlie firing, drive
off the sharpshooters, and protect the finish
ing of tlie bridge. (Jen. H. gives his hearty
approval.
The boats are made ready. They rush Irom
cover and into the boats; push off, one after
the other. The bullets come in showers and
kill terribly. The head boat is forced to put
back, but out it goes again, and another is
now pushing to the very middle of tlie river.
On they go. seven of them, in the face of de
struction, blit armed with a noble purpose and
sublime courage. Yes, and armed with good
effective rifles, with which they pour hack a
storm of halls. One touches the further shore
—they shout and rush up tlie hank—an an
swering cheer resounded from those who
watched from the other shore. The 7th Mich
__„ /‘..i _1 .
Baxter, lias lieen wounded, but their colors J
are up, and they dash forward, driving the re- 1
bels before them—rush into houses and behind
all covers, and there hold their ground. The
bridge building can now go on. A stand of ,
colors is captured, which the proud captor
brings back to Gen. Howard, who thanks and
commends him, inquiring his name. He does
not claim to have taken it without aid from
others. He wishes to return to the tight, and |
the General takes the tlag and sutlers him to
return. The regiment is in a critical place,
but others soon join it from the bouts, and in
less than one hour the bridge is finished.
Now the remainder of the Division passes
over. But, as soon as the columu appeared
upon the hill, the enemy’s cannon opened
fiercely upon it. Must it wind its slow length
along amid such tearing destruction? Gen.
11. sits with his staff by the brink of the river,
and near the end of the bridge, till one brig
ade has passed. The shells burst about him
and strike terribly close. They plunge into
the solid earth. The pieces whiz in every di
rection ; some drop into the river w ith a sound
like that of a hot iron plunged into water.—
Gen. H. crosses with his staff and now stands
upon the other bank, w hile the remainder of
his command comes over. The bullets now
whistle past. They come down the street in
fearful profusion. Aids go and come from
Col. Hall, who is advancing slowly up the
street with his brigade. Col. Hall himself
comes and consults with Gen. Howard, and
says, “they are killing my men frightfully.”—
“Instruct them to go slowly and cautiously,
seeking every possible cover,” is the answer.
Dec. 13th. If spared through this day, your
correspondent will continue this account.—
Loss in Hall’s brigade, 3 officers killed, 8
wounded; 85 men killed, 180 wounded. Loss
in the other brigades thus far, slight. H.

Compliment to the Maine Cavalry.—
We Hud in the December number of the Lon
don Coruhill Magazine, in an article entitled
“Campaigning under Gen. Pope,” a handsome
compliment to the Maine Cavalry. The writer
says:—
Much of the Federal Cavalry was w retched
ly made up; but there was a Maine Regiment,
of broad, long-armed swordsmen, whose equals
! I have never seen. In this regiment the horses
of each company were of a distinct color.
£y“The Grenada (Miss.) Appeal states that
i John M. Botts has been presented with a mag
nificent e-tate in the county of Culpepper, re
cently purchased from Hon. Jeremiah Morton
by Franklin Stearns, Esq., who tti former days
was an ardent political supporter of Botts, and
shared his imprisonment in General Winder’s
jail. Mr. Botts has kept very quiet since his
release from prison.

Tiie Poems of Adelaide A. Procter. Bos
ton: Ticknor & Fields. 32mo. pp. viii. 416.
For sale in this city, by II. L. Davis, 53 Ex
change Street.
Rarely indeed is genius transmitted in the
direct line of descent; some element of its con
summate perfection seems always wanting in
the second generation. But Bryan Procter,
better known by his anagrammatic pseudo
me of “Barry Cornwall,” was not a man of
transcendent genius. His more ambitious un
dertakings in verse were failures; though he
possessed a rare susceptibility to that intricate
harmony of language w’bich belongs to lyric
poetry. His songs will be long remembered
and sung, and his daughter's name will be
remembered with his own. Her first volume.
emit led “Legends and Lyrics a book of
t®*seswas published five years ago. The
legends are deficient in characterization;
and tlie lyrics, though written in pure,
limpid English and only occasionally de
fective in meter, lack force and are full of un
warranted melancholy. There are passages
however of unmistakable promise, like this:
“Listen, and I will fell thee
The song Creation sings,
From the humming ufbees in the heather,
To the flutter ofaugesi' wings.
An echo rings forever,
Tiie sound can never cease;
It s|u'aks to God of giory.
It speaks toearth of peace.”
A second series of “Legends and Lyrics” np
peared in 1861, much more elaborate and com
plete than the first. “The Lost Chord” be
longs to the secontl series, the chance struck
chord of music, “like the sound of a great
Amen.” This and many other little poems of
Miss Procter’s second volume have already
achieved popularity. Her religious poems arc
chiefly collected in tlie “Chaplet of Verses,”
published last May. for the benefit of a catho
lic Night Refuge, for homeless women and
children. The last poem of this volume, is
well known:
“Our Beasts, and onr Thieves, and our Chattels
Ha* e weight for good or for ill;
But the |KMir are only His image.
His presence. His word. His will;—
And so Lu7aius lies at our doorstep
And Hives neglects him still.”
Miss Proctor’s creed is Roman Catholic; her
religious poems are with lew exceptions Cath
olic in a better sense.
The American publishers have brought out
these three volumes in one, hound in blue and
gold ami printed at the university press. It
is unnecessary to say another word about its
mechanical execution.

^ ‘ The Louisville Democrat of Thursday
last says: We published yesterday a list of

party or dance, and were enjoying it hugely,
when onr men surrounded the house and cap
our boys taking their places,
"Danced all night, 'till broad daylight.
And weut home with the girls iu the morning."
Two reports have been made to the

Tlte minority reported that the safety of the

Xy An account of the libel suit of the
Count Joannes alias Jones r». F. H. Under
wood of the Boston Atlas, lias been prepared
lor our columns by ait obliging frieud, but is
crowded out by the late press of news. In
deed, it is unsafe saying anything about the
Count, who bus now lour suits on hand, in
cluding one against the Boston Advertiser for
printing the report from which ours was con
densed, ami another against Gov. Andrewsjbr
addressing him as Mr. Jones.
Xy The editor of the Montreal Advertiser
says that he lias seen “a private letter from an
influential and well known member of tile
House of Commons, received by the North
American, iu which the opinion is expressed
that the Emperor of the French will recog
nize the Southern Confederacy whether Great
Britain and Russia join with him in doing so
or not.” Well, what then ? Are we to under
stand that this influential M. P. has received
private advices from Louis Napoleon? or is
his opinion not much better than another
man's ?

The Betreat from Fredericksburg—An Inci
dent of Saturday’s Battle.
New Yoijk. Dec. 17.
The following Incident is related by the
Times'correspondent: About half past one
o’clock the first line of battle in Gen. Gibbon's
division was relieved by the second, when the
brigade commanded by Col. Hoot charged ov
er the open Held beyoud the railroad down in
to the edge of the wood, occupying the breast
works, and capturing two hundred prisoners
belonging to the dGtii N. C. and a S. C. regi
ment. Gen. Gibbons was severely wounded
in the right hand. They held their own some
time, but were compelled to fall back.
Tlie Second Maine Battery advanced with
Gililxm's division; when it fell back three guns
were left behind to bear upon the advancing
enemy. An order came at that moment to
cease firing, as the force coming from the
woods were our own men. When it had ad
vanced, however, to within fifty yards, the
commander of tlie battery became convinced
that tln^ were rebels and moving to capture
this battery. Five guns were opened on them,
but after five rounds had been fired, the bat
tery was ordered to fail back. Having fallen
back, tlie captain called for volunteers to re
turn and bring off tlie battery.
Sergeant Berry, Sergeant Hubble, Corporal
If. Greely and twelve men belonging to tlie
10th Maine regiment stepped forward. The
undertaking, though a hazardous one, proved
successful, as tlie abandoned gun was brought
off in safety. It was w hile the fight was pro
gressing at tills point that Gen. Bayard was
fatally wounded.
More of Gen. Banks* Transports put into
Hilton Head.
New Yoke, Dec. 17.

Gen. Burnside’s Reasons for Withdrawing
, from Fredericksburg.
Philadelphia, Dec. 17.
The Press publishes a dispatch from Gen.
Burnside to Gen. Halleck, received at t) o’clock
last evening, announcing the withdrawal of
the army of the Potomac from Fredericks
burg. Gen. Burnside says:
“ Feeling fully convinced that the position
in front could not be carried, and as it was a
military necessity either to attack or retire,
and as a repulse would have been disastrous
to us under existing circumstances, the army
was withdrawn without loss either of property
or men.”

course they were bound further south than

Banks’ expedition.

tlie delay which has rendered abortive the
plans of Gen. Burnside’s command.
