The people are sick tired of these contests and it ltd also be found that those who the most forward in initiating this reuient, would be the last to bear expense. Let our citizens act calrn md wisely in the matter, and notits into a fruitless eontest to gratify ""aiders. O I N A A The Press, finding tllat the Chipper swindle is becoming altogether too for it to hold, is striving its utmost asuin dodge the question, and wants direct eur attention and the ntten- of the public iuto another channel. has been compelled to leave off fals ing the sentiments of the people ot orthern Minnesota in its attempts to —ag them into the support of the treaty. Hav:ng brought it thus around in the right direction, we opose to hold it up to the work it st beguu—of wilfully supporting a ost outrageous swindle—or compel it —ankly to admit that, from natural in incts, it did a mean thing, that it is )rry and will try to do better in the lture. Our pedantic friend first takes ex eption to the grammar of the DEMO AT in the clause wherein it opposes he treaty because the removal ot the JLippewa Indians from the State is not novided for. Very well when the Press improves its own orthography 'vide the spelling of Mr. Donnelly's Jlame in the "Colloquy," etc.,) we may .hink of accepting ius'ructiou at its aands^but until it obtains some knowl edge of die rudiments, we must beg to be excused from studying Murray under its tutorship. The Press, in its efforts to dodge the public contempt which is being show- etod upon it, and which it has richly deserved, for its course in upholding and justifying this gigautic swindle, entreats us to hold Senator Ramsey "up to public reprobation" for what he has done in treaties wiih the Chip- pewa Indians, and thinks v.e onght to do it. We have no doubt but that the Press would be rejoiced at almost any thing that would afford relief in its present unenviable position. Willing to humor it for a short time, we will take a hasty glance at some of Senator Ramsey's treaties. In our issue of two weeks ago, we referred to a treaty Senator Ramsey made with the Chippewas of the Mis sissippi whereby he, without doubt, saved the people of Noithern Minne sota from the horrors of a double In dian massacre. But this treaty pro -vided that the claims of traders, and the doing. o*ih«. Agency, should be Af» reC ntizens, but it will be noticed th*t persons principally interested in movement are mm-residents and whwsc interests are opposed to ^welfare of tk\s portion of the town, folly of such an action can be scon cd the robbery and fraud carried on by the Press* friends for yeafs/it was sup pressed. We callod the attention of the Press'tq this "but for certain reasons of it* own" liatVjmirnal "deems it prudent to keep iha&y" about the "faithlessness to tNJaPJes.'" But as a witness is not obWgtfd 'to give testimony (hut will ciimiu&'fe himsolf, we will excuse the Press from answering the inquiries impounded in that article. lu rtre case of the treaty with the Red Lake Chippewas, about which the Press is so much exercised, as with the Mississippi Chippewas. Senator Ram soy was called on to make a treaty and restore peace, after the Press' friends had attempted the work and through fear or inability, given it up. The Press will a-member how its friends started out wttfh the vain boast that in the treaty with the Red Lake Chippe was t*cy itiretrded to teste 820,000 apiece. And tad t'hey tnado the tfretfty, there is no doubt 'but tfoat they would have made good their word at the same time. But, having un unfailing at tachment to their scalps, they dared not venture into the Indian country, and so returned-to -St Paul. As «&«&! .« sweh emergencies, "Sen-,' ator Ramsey was -calMeA oil "to settle the matter, and although but poorly pro vided with presents «wd -the necessary adjuncts to treating with Indians and although the latter had become incens ed at the delay, he was in every Way successful— secured peace, restored the Red River to navigation, &c, fcc. He went to make a treaty—not to perpe- tvatc a swindle—and he accomplished Sirs purpose. O principal objection to this treaty has atar«5s boon that the editor of the Pre** was owe -of *fcc arty that accom jpawwe" Senator Ramsey. Here was •ccrtaiwily sufficient material for any •quantity of sfcaldwggary. Bet lie •mistook his man. Senator Ramsey's iwrpose was not te swindle eith er the Indians or ifec Govern* mont^ 85© that there was no •chawoe for hangers-on to fiR their poefcets with "dtoppiogs." Ilcrrcc the bitter oppo sition of the Press to this treaty and its Sings at Senator Ramsey. This was not the case with the new Chippewa scheme. The. nije little sum of $150,000 was to be divided among a few artful workers, and the Press for "certain reasons of its own," was delighted, and could not restrain expressions ol joy it the '•benefits" that r.ould result from the new treaty to the "people of the frontier." So, Mr. Donnelly occupies relatively some what the same position as Senator Ramsey. Our Sena.or prevented a swindle, so has Mr. Donnelly. The former is too strong to be injured by the Press, and that paper will find that the latter is in an equally impreg nable position. The wishes ot the people of halt a State cannot be tram* pled on by an unscrupulous sheet, and a cabal of Indian officials and politi cians who have worn out iu advance of their aspirations. Mr. Donnelly's abil ities and his honesty, have given him a hold upon the voters of Northern Minnesota which will tell before the close of next Novcmbsr. We trust that we have fully satisfied the Press with regard to Senator Ram sey's treaties. And now we would say to it, if you cannot be honest be manly. If you will not openly and fairly ac knowledge the injury you have at tempted to perpetrate upon this portion of the State and upon a faithful Rep resentative, stand up boldly in do- feusc of your swindling scheme. Do not attempt to evade and dodge and crawl. Hold fast to the corpse of your bantling press it close to you warm it breathe i..to its nostrils, and if breath from such a source will not restore its putrid life, thcu indeed has the blow given by Mr. Donnelly been fatal O A I S O S O E O N I N E A E O N I E O S S In answer to a letter addressed to Gov.

This conversa tion is rambling, fatuous and unintelli gible. From a few disjointed sentences we should judge that the Press sees In dians, Indian ponies and canoes passing in review befoVe it it sees the nice little prifco of $20,000 \yt transportation slip from its grasp and it chatters about roads, subsistence, &c,—at the same time doing -considerable bad spelling The poet thing terrifies itself by com juringHptWo anrrita inimicallo Tndian swind&cs-*-3J"r.

"How are the mighty fallen!" robbed the Indians most outrageously $ he fled from bis port, pursued by att the retributive terrors of a guilty coir science perfectly craied, he reached this place, shouting that thc savages were coming $ in the night he^arose from his bed, started toward Minneap- olis, and was found several days after ward ou the prairie, where he had fallen by his own hand. The case of the Press is of a milder form, but was produced by the sau.c cause. That paper engaged in a great Indian swindle, and now in the peculiar state of its mind, it talks to itself about Indians, though rather in a melancholy tone, especially wheu mentioning the #20)000. But the case is a harmless one there need be no fears of the un fortunate object of commiseration do ing itself or any one else violence in ded we are confident that a child ti: ght play with it. v.

From the forces of the enemy with in the enemy's new lines, it is evident that Beauregard has been reinforced from Lee's army* No report has been received by the department concerning the casualties of the army in its operations since cross ing the James, except the death of Major Norton, mentioned yesterday. General Sherman reports to-day that the enemy gave way last night in the midst of darkness and storm* and at daylight he entered his lines. From right to left the whole army is in pur suit as far as the Chatahotchie. Gen. Sherman adds "I start at once for Marietta." No military intelligence from any other quarter has been received to-day. (Signed) fc. M. STANTON. Secretary of Wftr^ On the 14th Gen. Smith assaulted and carried the principal lines of the enemy's works at Petersburg, taking 13 cannon, several stands of colors, and between 300 and 400 prisoners. This line is two miles from Petersburg. The works were of the very strong est kind, more difficult to take than Missionary Ridge at Chattanooga.— The hardest fighting was done by the black troops The forts they stormed wero the worst of all. After the affair Was over. Gen. Smith went to thank them and tell them he was proud of their courage and dash.
