BXPSCTB O TO O WINNICHUTA W A PJB O The people of the Northern portion oi the United States have been more oi less excited during the past two years, on ac count of the threaieuiu *. attitude of cer tain European powers touching our na tional affairs. Indeed, there has been more cause for the fears expressed than has been suspected by a large majority of 4£| those most directly intorestedi It is uoW well known that a dissolution of the Union has been the hope and ex pectation of a number of the most influ ential politicians and statesmen of the South. They have been preparing for the event a number of years—dating back probably to days of nullification in South Carolina. Not ouly had they been pre paring for it, but they were u?ing every cxcition in their power to hasten its con- summation. To recapitulate their oper ations of preparation, would be but a rep petition of what is now familiar to all.— Suffice it to say they were prepared and the election of Lincoln served as a pre text for opening the contest, while the first shot fired at the fated Sumptcr was a signal to other nations, as well as a warn ing to the unsuspecting North, that they were indeed ready. We say "unsuspect ing," for, although the whole matter had been talked over time after time, by and between the parties intelested although European jdUrnals took up the theme and those most friendly to monarchy pointed out the advantages to be derived by their respective powers from this dissolution. Yet the people of the Noith could not be made to believe but that the blood that coursed the veins of the illustrious Wash ington, Marion, Sumpter, Lee and Gaines, still mingled with that ot their descend ants, and that nothing could happen be neath the canopy of heaven by which they could be induced to betray the im portant trust confided to their keeping, bj their immortal ancestors. In this, howev- er, time has proven that the people of the north were mistaken. The dissolution of the Union was a matter perfectly under- stood by the leading southern statesmen, and certain European powers long too, before the tocsin of rebellion was sound- ed from the bell to crs at Charleston. Almost simultaneous with the breaking out of the rebellion, British, French and Spanish troops were hurried to Mexico for mu picicmieu purpose off enforcing tfte payment of certain monies, said to be due the subjects of these allied powers. These claims, compared to the enormous expense of fitting out the expedition, sink into ut ter insignificance. And besides this, it is well known that these claims—long standing as they were, and accumulated under as aggravating circumstances as co'd be imagined—were yet of that nature as would have made them easily adjusted, under that liberal form of government the Republicans of that country were endeav oring to establish at the time of its inva sion. But, it was not until the troops of the three powers had landed on Mexican* soil, and their ships had blockaded the Mexi- can ports, that the people of the United States would believe they saw the real de signs of the invading forces. The enor- mous claims they had crossed the ocean for the purpose of adjusting, were really insignificant. The people, whose country they were invading and whose commerce they were destroying, were weak and im becile, compared to the vast resources of the invaders, rendered doubly so by tbe intestine war then raging within its bor ders. They found them an easy prey, and to what particular desire There can be but one conclusion—the estahlishing of an Empire on this continent, and, we may safely say, Empires, beginning with Mex ico, aud extending them by conquest or otherwise, until the term Republic should be a word only used to express a peculiar form of government, once attempted by a professedly free people, but which had also proven a failure! That this was the real design of the al- lied powers, there can be no doubting. Governments of a Republican form are hateful as well as detrimental to Monarch- ies and it is but natural that they should seek any pretext for their overthrow. The United States had become a mighty Re- public, and its influence aa such was being felt and feared by all who wore the sem blance of a crown. Under this influence, Republics were springing into existence everywhere, and while these United States were at peace with themselves, or while they remained united, no power dared to molest any people who desired to form for themselves a republican government, 'and' especially so with reference to this con tinent. The first work them to be done was to encourage a speedy dissolution of the Utirotf. War must of necessity follow N mm ••*••..- mmmmmmmtamu N -••:..*-.—,. amtnumtmm ._. -..?m»»\«» *«.««*' ...... ..--,... ..*,,..,•...... the attempt, aud while that was raging, the time had come for the commencement of the long matured plan, of making the entire continent One vast Empire. The work began, tbe plan worked well for them for a time but the task is not done!— England and Spain it is true, left the field somewhat disgusted with the work before them. The lattet remembered' the forti- fied mountain passes in the days when Mexico was contending for freedom, while the former had many reasonv The un- popularity of the measure, even on Eng lish soil, was one, but another, and per haps, greater reason, was tbe threatening aspect of things across the channel. The bubbles had already began to rine from the troubled seas of Ireland—the angry waves would soon be rolling with madden ing fury, until perhaps the turbulent sea should wash the base ot the throne itself, or this gem in the crown of Button, bo forever lost to a long Hue of monarchs England withdrew from motives of poli cy, Spain Withdrew from fear, but Louis Napolcan perseveres in the undertaking.' entirely forgetting that he had an une'e who was once greater than the nephew— who like him, was once Emperor of France and afterwards abdicated his throne in dis grace He seems to be striving for an "idea," the acquisition of that coveted jew- el may perhaps loose him a more coveted crown. To bring about this last mention ed result, the people of the north must be more firmly united. If we would avert the calamities which a war with France would bring upon us, we must give to those in power our united support in crush ing eut the rebellion, so as to be prepared to meet an invading foe in such numbers as will make him rue the day he ever im agined himself Dictator to a fne and en lightened people. To do this properly, none but good men and true patriots should be called to fill offices of important tiust. Men of sound patriotic principles are those needed for these trying times, aud on'y such should be entrusted with the affairs of the Nation of States. Minnesotians! this last named duty can be commenced by you at our next elec- tion. Come to the polls, one and all, but come with the determination of voting, or.ly for those whom you know are true to the government, and just to the country —vote therefore the UNION TICKET. White iu St. Panl last week we had the pleasure of meeting Hon. Ignatius Dopnelly, member of Congress elect from this District. He will start for Washing ton about the 20th inst., but before that time will favor our citizens with an ad dress. It will be well worth hearing. Mrs. S wisshelm and daughter arrived in the city on Saturday evening and left the next afternoon for Washington. The International is doing an excellent business, having a large number of guests-, but. still making all eomforcable. The popularity of this hole) is- easily account- ed for by the politeness of all connected with it, from the porter to that prince of Clerks, Vebbcr, and by the superior ac- comodations that are extended to all who stop there, Tbe rates are as low as at any other first-dees hotel in the city, while everything elso is much better than can be found elsewhere. Under these cir cumstances, who wouldn't stop at the In- ternational Going up to Fort Snelling on Saturday we found Col. Miller, at present in com- mand of the post, as genial and warm hearted as ever, and dispatching business in that quiet, expedious way which* makes bins such a favorite in tbe army. He starts for Winona on the 6th inst., to su perintend the shipment of the three regi- ments which are being sent South To wa'd the close of the month he will make our citizens a visit. Lieut. Stephen Miller of the 7th. Regi- ment, is acting as Post Adjutant, and in a vsry acceptable manner. He will be in this city this week, to remain a few days and will then rejoin his regiment and ac company, it on its march Southward. Hatche's Battaliou was encamped on-the opposite side of the river from the Fort. It was to leave on Monday for Pembina. Major Smith and Phumey were pay ing off the soldiers as the Fort and Capt. Corning the teainstear* who had been- en- gaged on Gen-. Sibley's expedition. These latter are- from- Missouri', and present as ill-visage a orew aa one would often meet. Many of them have been in tbe rebel-ser vice, and all are generally designated as "Missouri, guerillas/' A serious affray had occurred among them on Friday evening, when a wagon master named Heiis shot one of theso "guerillas" named who had beer* following "him fee some day* threatening his life On the evening hv question he came to Heins, and telling him that one of them must die, thrust his hand under his coat as if to draw a concealed Weapon, When Heins shot him with a revolver, the ball entering his Hide.'.' The wagon- master immediately gave himself up, but will undoubtedly, be acquitted. The wounded man died on Sabbath morning. This occurred at the teamster's camp, out side the Fort. LieUt. Miller showed us into the cell where Little Crow's son and three other Sioux Indians were confined, awaiting tri- al. Young Little Crow is more intelligent looking than most Indians but, even mere boy as he is, claims to have imbued bis hands in tbe bloody slaughter of last summer Two of the othe are common looking animals, while the third old vil- lain carries the mark of his fiendish na ture so plainly on his face that he ought to be bung if it cannot be proved that he ever killed any person, for nothing was lacking but the opportunity. Mi O E S E O N A E CAPK&TON'S CAP, POINT LOOKOUT VAL- 1 LET, DEKALL CO., AIA. Sept. 6, 1863. J. DfeAte DEMOCRAT.—Here we are some thirty or forty miles to the right and south of Chat tanooga after a hot dusty march from our late camp near Stevenson, Ala. We started for this place, distance some thirty miles, on the 30th of August. Crossing the Tennessee riv er at Caperton's Ferry without resistance, on a fine pontoon bridge of fifty-nine boats, or a scow, Headquarters were established at the house of Htigh Caperlin at the foot of Raccoon Mountain, tho Division encamping for the urght on the bottom lands between the foot of the mountain and the river. The next day was occupied in moving troops, artillery and trains up the mountain. Sept. 1st, Headquar ters were established on the top of the moun tains iti a small valley dividing the two ridges, Raccoon and Sand Mountain. The next day the whole division crossed and descended Sind Mountain encamping at this place, a distance of sixteen miles. Two companies of the 1st Bast Tennessee under Lt. Col. Brewnlow, the Parson's son, escorled us over, and the deli cate manner in which they hunted out bush whackers and "gobbled up" guerillas was a caution and an example. The* road over the -mountain scenery was fine and the mountain scenery in* some places picturesque. The inhabitants residing on the mountain were mostly Union and were pro fuse in their expressions of delight at the ap pearance, for tbe first time, of the Union Army. The boys appreciated their gcod nature by stripping apple and peach orchards, digging potatoes and helping themselves to "roasting aenpj-allv The importance 0f the* pre%ent movement cannot be overestimated nor lost sight of 'mid the brilliancy of the operations at Charleston. That is a contest on the outer rim of £he re bellion. Rosecrans menaces its very center and heart. With the taking of Chattanooga, an entering wedge will be inserted into the vi tals of the Confederacy, which will not only split it asunder, but destroy the net-work of railways—so long the moving power of its vi tality—and put the military poWer of the re bellion at the mercy of a few vigorous- blows. Mamy may view our sitnation with alarm, but We do not.- With unbounded confidence in the capacity of onr leader, and from the fact of otor left flank being Covered by Barnside's col ftm'n, and our right protected by the Tennes see river, the strength of our center, and our own invincibleness, we have no fears for our ultimate success. Ere long we will place the standard of Liberty at the end of the Depart ment created for Rosecrans and his army to occupy and posess. A new one will have to be created soon. We have been one year slow ly but surely piercing the Confederacy and getting before Chattanooga and, should we fail now and be compelled to make a retrograde movement, ii would be disastrous indeed to the Union cause. A prominent General re marked, a few days since, that he would rath er lie still six months making preparations, than to move immediately without a certain prospect of success. A- retreat would be an nihilation. Victory—the heart of the rebel Mo* reached East Tennessee freed, the chain of communication broken—the occupation of the rich lands of Georgia and the destruction and demoralization of Bragg's Army. God grant us success! Battery news unimportant. Dr. L. F. Rus sell, the surgeon, has left for Minnesota. His loss is regretted, as he was gentlemanly and attentive, and an excellent surgeon. The DEMOCRAT of Aug. 20th, has been re ceived in camp and read with interest. The nomination of Col. Miller and the Republican platform—as embodied in the resolutions of the Convention—were points of discussion. The Col-, has many friends in the Battery. SEPT. 6TH-.—Look out for stirring news from this quarter. The whole army i» making a tremendous flank movement, and' it is the in tention to strike Dalton, Ga., on. the Western & Atlantic R. R., thereby cutting off Bragg's retreat, and forcing him. to- fight, or retreat through the almost impassable forests north of us into N. C. or S. C. By this movement the whole of Middle Tennessee is left open to Bragg which, if he enters, he is doomed.— Burnside is taking care of East Tennessee. I am afraid this information is contraband now, whether it will bewhen this reaches you, remains' to be seen. I think I am right. The troops are moving with celerity over these atony, craggy, range*of mountains. -\-rr**- *A'j,.-.. OfcHmaffWIWflW DIXIE. A gentleman can probably marry any lady of his acquaintance —if he pleases.
