®p ®t MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1862. THE WAR IN VIRGINIA., The war in Virginia has now based the compass. After sixteen months of indus trious strategy the hostile armies have got ground to their old positions and the bat tle of Bull Bon has been fought over Sgain. A loyal army of 230,000 jneu has been reduced to half its original number, and a rebel army of less than Than 100,000 has been recuperated to a figure which emboldens Its leaders to assume the offensive and threaten the national capital. “When the Confederate Congress met last spring, Jeff. Davis sent them a message deploring the weakness of his army, and the expiration of the term of enlistment of the larger portion of his soldiers. He mentioned the fact that the Union army had been mustered for three years’ service, while the rebel raiments had been taken for only twelve months, and that they would Soon be reduced by disbandment to an alarming weakness. He therefore urged the immediate passage of a conscription Jaw. Tbc conscription law was passed and pur 236,000 .soldiers rested on their Epades whife it was being executed. Un able to keep up a show of strength at Manassas and Centreville, General Jo Johnston broke up his camps on . the 22d of February, folded his tents and stole silently away. This Was a humane and creditable act, for it •‘saved the effusion of blood;” and our General, not to be outdone in civilized practices, kindly neglected to pursue him, tut gave him ten weeks in which to draft a new army, and then went down to meet him at the particular place in Virginia where a small army, or an undisciplined army, could most successfully resist an in vading force much superior in numbers and efficiency. We do not wonder that the Richmond papers have vied with the Mew York Herald and Chicago Times, in praising our General. They would have hecn strangely wanting in gratitude if they had not done so. Having described the circle whichbriugs the contending forces back to their old Camps, it becomes interesting to . know whether the same gen eralship is to prevail another year. Jeff Davis is in the same piuch for recruits that he was last spring. He has asked for a new conscription, and he Will get it We are full thirty days ahead of him in the raising of a new army, and this thirty days is sufficient, if decently improved, to crush the rebellion- Bat we cannot do it by waiting to let the enemy riralt and drill their new army. The Fabi an policy must give way to swift, sudden and terrible blows, or the country is ruined. Jt must he confessed that we cannot put our finger upon a single advantage we have jraincdovertheenemyin Virginia. Tiiebat- Jles of Winchester and "Williamsburg were liolh accidental We drove the rebels, but gained no advantage over them. All the other engagements from Bull Run to Mal vern Hill, have been disastrous to us, and the delaying has been infinitely more dis astrous than the fighting. It would EC cm as though our turn to achieve a suc cess in that quaiter ought to come now, if it is ever coming. "We devoutly believe it Ras come. “ TnE Dutt op tbe Democratic Paf.tt.— There has never been a lime when the Democratic party was so eamestjy called upon to w’ork un ceasingly for success—to work for success that it aaay preserve the government. * * » # WeC- are temperately bat firmly to urge ‘the cardinal principles of the party until they are juactically recognized and adopted. We can elect, a conservative congress if we work.’*— Chi~ cauo Timet. The cardinal principles to which the se cession Times refers, are the dogmas of Odhoim—secession and slavery. Their practical adoption” works the destruc tion of free government as taught by Jef terson. There is more danger than many imagine that a “conservative congress” may he elected this falL The Union and War party has just furnished the government with 000,000 more men, thereby weaken ing it lo that extent at home. The “ con servative” Democrats have not volun teered—not a man of them. They are Slaying at home lo vote —and seize upon the State governments and congress, in the ab sence of a million oT patriots who have ; gone to the war. This is their intention. Since the death of Douglas, the organize” lion of the Northern Democratic party has passed into the hands of secessionists. The 3\ nights of the Golden Circle are the rul ing spirits and control the organization. A considerable portion of the Democrats of the free States are truly and sincerely loyal men. They are in favor ofa vigorous snd radical prosecution of the war. They gus'iiin the acts of the late session of Con gress, and desire that the confiscation law Shall .be fully enforced. This class of Dem ocrats have freely enlisted, and have sent their full proper lion .of soldiers to the field under the late and previous calls. But the other class are lories. Their sympathies are with the South. They want the Gov ernment surrendered to the rebels, or at least, to acknowledge their independence. They call themselves “conservative dem ocrats.” The Chicago Times is their Illinois mouth-piece, and YaUaudigham is Iheir representative man at the North. They have got possession of the machinery and name of the old democratic party, and thereby expect to inveigle multitudes of loyal and patriotic democrats into sup porting their tickets at the ensuing Stale and Congressional elections. But every man thus elected, will be a friend of the. confederates and essentially a traitor. Give' them control of Congress and not a dollar will be voted to carry on the war, unless encumbered with some dastardly condition proposing to surrender to the rebels or to accept such terms as they may dictate. "While our sons and brothers are in Ibc field combatting the enemy, the lories at home will open a 'guerilla Hre-in-the-rear. The Union men are thus to be placed between two fires: one of bullets and in front and the other of ballots behind. The success of the “ con eervatives ” alias tones, at the polls would be more disastrous to the Union cause than the loss of a campaign in the field, and is more to be dreaded. The time bqs come for all true Union men to stand to gether against the common enemy. The lime has come for War Democrats to sep arate themselves from a party that has fallen into disloyal hands—a party that is now wielded in the interests of traitors for the destruction of the Union. • THE IDBEE tEACEPARTIES. The Revolutionary -war was forced upon cur grandfathers, on whose part it was a v\ar of defense. All their acts, from Lex ington to Torktown, were purely defensive. &o with the war of 1812-15. So with our share in the present civil war. We were forced into it. Our ancestors might, by base submission to wrong, have avoided Iheir wars. And so might we. They chose war as the more manly alternative. We have done the same. They were never ashamed of their course, nor shall we have occasion to be ashamed of ours. The parallel may be still further contin ued. The tones of the first revolution and tie federalists of the middle period, cried out lustily for peace. While a barbarous foe was devastating the valley of the Wy oming, ravaging New Jersey, burning towns in Connecticut, or cutting the throats of patriots in the Carolines; while the savage allies of the British were de stroying our settlements in the Northwest and hostile fleets were riding in Chesapeake Buy—these infamous wretches were de claiming against the., prosecution of the war, and counselling submission to the demands of the enemy. Both the tories snd the federalists called our fithers lunat ics, and the war in which we were engaged “unholy ” and “unnatural” It was a crime, in their opinion, to defend the coun try ; a crime not to crouch at the feet of tyrants. Great Britain was the mother countiy; the Biilish people were our brcth ren. There wao a bond of fraternal obli gation on the one side to allow the other bide to make war without making war in return. But there was an- unyielding and self-sacrificing patriotism in the hearts of the people. It rose higher and higher as the danger became more alarming. Our fathers in the end triumphed over all their adversaries. The foreign enemy they sent Lome, beaten and humbled. The domes tic traitor they trampled in the dost, and made his name infamous. And now for the third time the Republic is in danger; and for the third time a rab ble of cowards and traitors cry out against the unnatural and 4 ‘ fratracidal ” war; as if there were any other way of securing an honorable peace; as if there were.some lliing unholy in the thought of putting down armed traitors; as if the Republic were not worth standing up for to the death. The rascals have not even the poor, merit of originality in their meannes. All their ideas, predictions, arguments, watch words, down to their familiar cant, are stolen from the tones and federalists. There were doleful predictions after the rout on Long Island—again after the surrender of Hull—and now they are solemnly repeated after eveiy disaster. Our fathers were warned to give up the hopeless contest, and we also are warned to give up. The traitorous advice was unheeded then, and the Republic was saved. It will be un heeded now, and future generations will bless our memories. The lories and federalists continually predicted defeat ; and when it came, they chuckled over their foresight, mocked at the obstinate “ fanatics ” who would neither give up nor compromise, and clamored still louder for peace. Ho w faithfully their ex ample is followed to-day. But a lime of reckoning came at last The traitors were swept away as by a whirlwind. Their children disowned them. The world pronounced them infamous. They sunk to a level where they were below the range of pity, and hardly worthy of contempt. All their double-dealing, treachery aud heartless cowardice were exposed to aU the world, and all the world loathed them. Will it be otherwise with the go-betweens of our time? Has human nature so changed that a man can he a Mend and an cremy at the same lime, or safely run between two hostile camps—one day a patriot, the next a traitor? There are but tto sides in this contest. Who ever is not for the Republic, willing to aid | it, if need be, with his purse and his sword; whoever does not set his lace against any peace which compromises the honor of our people, or who would rather see liberty die that slavery might live, —will hereafter be bis neighbor’s scoff his own shame, his children’s sorrow, a walking pillory, an outcast, a something in human form de graded below humanity, but not worthy of the sympathy claimed by a beast. Tlie Superiority of the Bayonet; General Order No. 20, from the headquar ters of the department of the South, which will be found in another column, deserves to be copied and reissued not only by every com mander of a department, but by every divis ion general and every chief of a brigade in the army. The use ot the bayonet has been far too much neglected heretofore, and at the ex pense of valuable lives. For armies drawn up in line of battle, to fire away at each other, alternately advancing and retreating, when there is a bay onct at the end of their rides or muskets, is simply superb folly. Powder aud * balls, and time and soldiers arc wasted to a (ruinous extent, before any decisive result can obtained, while a Ijgyonet charge decides the contest at once, and if carried on with vigor, always in favor of the attacking party, llbe bayonet is in fact emphatically the weap on of the offensive; hence its superior excel lence. General Hunter’s remarks on the sub jeet express this very clearly. He says: “' he bayonet should be constantly placed btJbre the soldiers as the decisive weapon of every battle, to which all others arc subordi nate. Whilst irresolution and inactivity will expose them to repeated volliesfromthe rifles and other firearms of the enemy, a vigorous tharge promptly executed will expose them, lo but one volley, withininiediate victory as its (result,” This fact has been proved in every battle where the bayonet has been used. At .the lime of the Hungarian revolution, the •raw recruits of the revolutionary party drove (the drilled and disciplined veterans of the 1 Austrian army before them in every engage ment, by means of the bayonet. There is something so terrible in a steady line of bay onets advancing with irresistible energy upon (an enemy, that the threatened party rarely "awaits the collision. We hope, therefore, that Gen. Hunter’s order will receive the at tention which is due to it; satisfied that wherever we shall hear of a bayonet attack, we shall also hear of a victory. lowa military Appointments.

A Unionist of the South, occupying a ,prominent position at home, has lately arrived at the Bast, and communicated with his old friend Parson Brownlow, at Philadelphia. A letter from the latter mentions, among the items of news brought from East Tennessee, the hanging of Dr. Gideon Thompson of Cleve land, for being a Union man. He also says that hanging, confiscation and starvation are Blaring the people of East Tennessee in the face. Air. Thompson was an old gentle man ; he had three sons and a son-in-law in the rebel army, but this was not sufficient to save his life. This is a fair specimen of the ferocity of the rebels, that so many of oar generals are trying to conciliate. The St. Paul Press has no doubt that the Indian outbreak now desolating Minne sota is the result of white intrigue. Seces sion agents from Missouri are the chief insti gators ; yet they (the white villains) will claim to be legitimate soldiers, and demand to be treated as honorable prisoners of war. It is frared that a general war with all the Indian tribes will be inevitable. K37 The Eev. Thomas K. Beecher, (young est brother of Henry Ward) stumped the El mira district to raise the new regiment of volunteers. He then enlisted as a private; but the officers declined to receive hjm, say ing he could do more good to the cause with his voice than with a musket. He then of fered to go as chaplain, and was accepted. MrsjfEsoTA.—The Gth Minnesota regiment is now foil, and officered as follows; Colyhfl— William Crooks of Itamray. Lieut'(k4oi‘£l —J. T.

Feeling against Appointment of Sccesh Provost Marshals — The Quiet of the Skate threatened hy it —Suw Provost Marshals should be Appointed ■. —A Volunteer* once aK. G. C., makes some Startling Revelations—A diabolical Conspiracy —Secessionists in Springfield, [Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune.] BriuKGPpnjj, Ang. 20,1863, A good deal of feeling is'being engendered among the people in the southern part of the State on account of the manner in whiih pro vost marshals are appointed. It appears the mode is for members of Congress to recom mend them to the marshal general in Missouri, this State being included in the district in which Missouri ie. The marshal general, I understand, has stated that In such cases a re commendation will be considered equivalent to an appointment, except in some very extra ordinary instance. Kow, just look how this mode of appoint ment would work in southern and central Il linois. What sort of provost marshals would W. J. Allen, M. 0., now confined for treason, a general in the K. G. C.’s recommend ? and, even in this district, what sort of men would Knapp, onr M. C., appoint? Knapp’s loyalty is questioned’at home. A short time since his home paper stated that it was freely charged around tbc county in which he lived, that he was a K. G. C., and called upon Mr. Knapp to ccmc out and purge himself. He has not yet done so, and probably never.wilh The same may be said ot other districts in the State. What sort ofprovost marshals would Kich ardson appoint ? Complaints are received here from many southern counties that the marshal’s ap pointees are in most, if not all cases, open and avowed secessionists or secret K. G. C. trai tors. Trouble is anticipated in consequence. To these scoundrels is given the power to hunt down, jwng and imprison Union men, or drive them out of the State. I notice that even in St. Louis rank secessionists receive these appointments. If such a course is persevered in, the general government must look to this State. It will take a goodly portion of the volunteers now being raised to preserve it. I learn the governor is very much exercised in regard to this matter, and is desirous of puttirg a stop to so heniong an outrage upon a State which is now struggling with the en ergies of an aroused giant not only to restore the Union, but to preserve the peace within her own borders. The best way of arranging this matter would he for the government; to appoint Marshal Phillips the provost marshal of this State. He would he sore to scrutinize every recommendation and to appoint no men who were not thoroughly Union. Or the marshals might he appointed by the pres ident on the suggestion of the* governor, which would be still better. Complaints continue to come up from Union men from Egypt, aed considerable alarm is manifested by them. Many petitions for leave to raise home guards "have been made. Others say, that all the Union men having gene to the war, they are entirely at the mercy of the K. G. C.’e, who seldom or never volunteer. I was shown to-day a very* remarkable letter from a man "who had just volunteered into one of the regiments raised in Egypt. He acknowledged' that he had been aK. G. C. for nearly a year, but now makes a clean bicast of it. He says that it hod been determined upon by a concerted movement, upon an agreed day, to throw all the trains on the railroad south of Ceutralia from the tracks. Machines called u clasps ” are to be used to place upon the rails for the pnrpcse, the places selected for the nefarious design being the highest bridges and em bankments. The signals watching the track are to he first killed, and then the traitors are to give, the signal to the train to pass on. The time chosen is a day when the largest number ot volunteers will be on their way to the South. Alter this diabolical project has been consummated, the traitors are to scour through the country killing the Union men and laying waste their property. The writer asseverates most religiously that such a pro ject is in process of Incubation, and he calls the attention of the State authorities most earnestly to it. The letter has been placed in the hands of the United States marshal- * Even in this city secession sentiments are sometimes most unblusbingly and scandalous ly exhibited. A short time since, at a festi val or sociable of a Baptist church, a young lady commenced playing and singing the Star Spangled Banner at the piano. Immediately the lady of the house protested that no such song should be played or snug there, and ac cordingly it was brought to a very sudden ter mination, but not, however, before several slrong-mindtd sccesh females bad left tbe tcoeq. At an Episcopal church sociable, a few evenings since, several ladies exhibited seccsh boquets. Towards the close Dixie was sung with fervor; af.tr which, a strong Union lady having commenced singing, by way of oppo sition, ‘‘John Brown’s body lies mouldering in the grave,” a general scatteration of se ceeb took place. They rushed out of hearing on ail sides. There is no doubt but there ex ists a most bitter secesh element in this city. It is principally to be found in the families which have married south, or id those of bitter democratic partisan proclivities. The following, regiments have been mus tered into service: 72nd—Col. Starring.Chicago. 73rd—Col. Jaqnes, Springfield. 77th—Col. Mack, Kankakee. 80th-—Col. Allen, Ceutralia. 81st—Col. Dollins, Anna, 83rd—Col Harding, Monmouth. 85th—Col. Moore, Anna. 04th—Col.

Bzxros Barracks, St. Louis, 1 August Stith, 1862. f Editors Chicago Tribune In my miscellaneous readings this morning I came upon the following, which is partly trnc and partly false. As it is somewhat ap plicable to my own situation, I will quote it, making it a test for further comments: “ A prisoner’s fate is perhaps the worst that can bcful a soldier. To die on the battle Held is slory;5 lory; to be disabled by wounds and the loss of in.bs is an nnextisguishahle claim to the grati tude of a country; hut to waste away in captivity breaks down body and mind.” This beautiful August morning finds me in the condition of a paroled prisoner of war; yet I do not know but my “ body and mind ” i are as vigorous as they ever have been. Per- | haps the thinking apparatus is in more active ! operation than it were wont, from the fact that it is chaffing against those invisible fet ters which limit my perigrinations to the city of St. Louis in general, and Benton Barracks in particular. Mr. Editor, since I have seen yon I have smelt powder, and I like the smell of it, and I want to smtll some more. u 'When shall we be exchanged ?” is the cry of twenty-one hundred within these barracks ip a similar condition to my own—brave men as ever drew bead on a rebel, and guilty of no crime but tbat the rebels were too many for them. I am mortified, I am chagrined, I regret very much that the party which I led hainot the power to shoot thirty-five men a-piece before the thirty-five a-plcce could shoot each one of ns, but such is the lament able fact, a mathematical problem it became necessary for me to solve one morning after some severe exercise, before a late breakfast, when the mental faculties are supposed to be in a vigorous state. If one of those thirty live had shot me dead, I should have been gallorions; if they had kindly shattered my leg or arm, linking me with the wooden-leg or short-arm fraternity, then I should have never questioned that Ihad. “aninextinguish able claim to the gratitude of my country,” but as it is, I shrink away abashed, compelled iidkmvdUrtSy to “ waste away in captivity.” The “paroled prisoner question,” one which is of no particular interest outside the barracks, is one which within them, among men who have suddenly been taken from a life of great activity to one of comparative idleness, condemns them individually and is therefore .ot vital interest. The paroled prisoners, both officers and men, equally with the other soldiers now in the barracks are required to guard the camp. A number of them are now in irons for re fusing to do this duty. The ground of their refusal is, that by so doing they violate their psrole, which requires them not to aid of as sist in any way against the Southern confede racy unless exchanged. It is maintained by the authorities that guarding their own camp is not a belligerent act, being simply for their own sell-protection. Wheiner the rebels, if they sbontd attack this camp of instruction for soldiers, and should discover a paroled prisoner on his beat, with a musket on his shoulder, would thus nicely discriminate, is a matter of question. I asked a paroled officer ttc other day, who had been officer of the guard, what he would do, suppoeiag his guard were paroled prisoners, and a party of ' secession soldiers should make their appear ance at the gate and demand entrance. His reply was, “ As a man of honor, I should keep my parole. I should lay do wn my sword and order my men to lay down their muskets.” Now, thcprisunersintluscampareofconroO} men who have seen service, hardly one of whom but is eager for the fray again, only asking that they be exchanged and return to ’ tin ir respective regiments, and, if possible, no - longer “ wsste away in captivity wbick breaks down body and mind.” Tours, forthe Union, Cavalux.

Murders at Breckinridge Station, Origin and Extent of the Diffi- culties. .[From the St. Paul Press, August 513.] The news received up to the latest hoar, last evening, from Fort Ridgely, was to the efllct*that the garrison was awaiting the arri val of reinforcements and the raising of the siege. Col. Sibley did not move his command from St Peter on Monday, as we stated yesterday, but he did so on Tuesday, and undoubtedly arrived at Fort Ridgely last evening. The missionaries, Kevs. Messrs. Riggs and Williamson, and their families, neighbors, ang others, to the number of forty-five, hith erto reported massacred, have reached the settlements on the Minnesota River. An in teresting narration of their escape will be found below. There has been no additional news received from Fort Ridgely or the Chippewa Agency. SEVERE FIGHTING AT NEW ULM, The severest fighting of the war so far, that we have any account ot, took plaice on Situr day and Sunday at New Ulm. The savage*, to the number of 600 or 400, boldly came into • the town and fired upon the force under Judge Flandrau. They would skulk behind build ings, and get chance shots at stragglers, their aim in many cases being only too accurate. Ihc lorce for the protection of the place was gathered together near the centre of the town, while the outskirts were entirely aban doned to the Indians, who larked and sneak ed behind the dwellings, or burned them, as they chose The Indians must have suffered severely during The engagement, though as Ihey carried away their dead it is not known bow msny weie made to bite the dust. The loss on our side was ten killed and fifty ore wounded, some of them mortally. Among these-killed are Capt. Dodd, well known to all the older settlers of this city; Rav. Mr. Smith 6t Mankato; Mr. Edwards, editor of the LaSeur county paper, and Jerry Quinn of St. Peter. Rev. Mr. Stein, of Judson, was one of the principal fighters for the defense of the place, and had the best rifle on the ground. The forces at New Ulm were reinforced on Sunday, and the Indians fell back. The place was then evacuated by the sfttlers, and the entire lorce fell back towards Mankato; so that New Ulm, or what remains of it, la en tirely abandoned by both friend and foe. ESCAPE OF THE MISSIONARIES—XARRATIVB OF ONE OF TUB PARTY. v Mr. D. Wilson Moore, who escaped with, the mission party, has reached St. Paul. He, wiih his lamily, was boarding at P.nutazee, with Rev. S. K. Riggs. At 0 o’clock on” ihc evening of the 18th, Monday, a friendly Indian came to the house, stating that the Indians "were murdering the ■whiles and robbing the stores at the Lower Agency. A lew honrs later another informed ilii-m that similar scenes were transpiring at Xtllow Medicine Agency, and they were ad vised and urged to make tbeir escape. They lelt in haste at 1 o’clock, and piloted by the Indians through a ravine two or three miles, to the rapids, were set across the river and kft on a lonely island. On Tuesday after noon they were visited by Mr. David Hunter, who informed them that he had his teams hidden in a swamp, and was nearly ready to start, and that they might join him. Mr, R-ggs* teams had been taken by the Indians. Mr, Cunningham went back to try to re cover them, and succeeded in getting one horse, which they attached to a buggy that the Indians had left. They set out on Tues day night, with an os team, a two-horse team, a horse and buggy, Air. Hunter taking with him a part of Dr. Williamson’s family— he Llmtilf determining to remain. Soon other families joined them, making a party of about forty persons. The order of march was as follows: The men walking in advance, with orders if fired upon to return the fire, and then assail the attacking party with clubs. They struck out into the prairie, first north east, then south to the Lac qui Parle road, leading to Fort Ridgley, Beaver Creek settlement they found de stroyed. Inquiring of some Indians where the while people were, they replied; “All gone to the fort, and you go, too, or yon will be shot.” It is reported taat the people were nearly all killed. ■When within eight miles of the fort, Dr. Williamson and the rest of his family over took them, having been persuaded to leave the friendly Indians—making, in ail, a 1 of forty-live persons. When within fcu«- miles of the fort, Dr. ■Williamson and Mr. Hunter went forward, to see whether they could get in, Mr. Hunter lelt the doctor a quarter of a mile from the fort and advanced alone, quietly, sometimes creeping on his hands ana knees, and suc ceeded in passing the Indians and entering, at 12 o’clock Friday night. The lieutenant in command told him that they had 500 persons, chiefiy women and children, in the fort; that the force was small; that they had been fighting five days and were very much exhausted, and advised him to strike across the prairie to Henderson. They saw, three or four miles from the fort, a boy lying dead by the wayside, and some Indians on horseback. They came by way of Cummins and Door place, and found every! house on the way de beittd, doors not locked, oxen yoked and fas tened, and evidences of panic and hasty flight. The mission party came safely through, some of them stopping at St. Peterand others at Henderson. Mr. Riggs will be in St. Paul this week. His house was robbed a few hours alter they left it, and it is supposed that they would all have perished had they re mained. Dr. ’Williamson is at St. Peter. The immediate occasion of the insurrection is supposed to be the delay of pavment of an nuities, though it is thought that the diffi culty has been growing for two or three years. Dr. Williamson believes that the principal cans e of it is, that the lukpaduda massacre was never properly punished. The lawless tribes, laving obtained so much booty for nothing, and without punishment, supposed that they might commit similar depredations with im punity. LETTERS FROM GOV. DONNELLY. Headquarters Indian Expedition, St. Peter, Aug. 25,18W—a a. m. Editors of the Press: The entire force now here—consisting, as near as 1 can ascertain, of 1,000 infantry and about stO cavalry—are preparing to start across the country, a distance ot forty-five miles, to Perl Ridgley. It is understood that the cavalry are to be thrown forward, and, if it appears practicable, will be urged through by a lorced march to the fort. The steamer baa arrived here, bringing two cannon. They inspire still greater confidence among officers and men. Ton will probably have learned, before this reaches you, of the events that occurred at New-Dim. Gov. Sibley sent forward 150 men to reinforce the force defending the town. They reacted there on Sunday morning. Their arrival was the signal for the Indians, who were besieging the place, to fall back. Tbc defenders of the town thus relieved—said to number some 000—as a great part of the tovrtrt-as destroyed and the women and chil dnn all gone, moved off and came to .Man kato. At the same time it was observed that- the email bands of Indians who were committing depredations along the line of scattered se£ ih meets from ten to twenty miles west of the Minnesota River also fell back. This would seem to indicate one of two things—either a general concentration of their foices at or near the fort, or, what is more probable, a general fleeing from the wrath to come. The day of retribution will be a ter rible one, and it will he indeed deserved. The atrocities committed by them were hor rible, Siirnge to) say, they take no scalps. Nearly all the dead bodies found have tbeir throats cut. The name Dakota is said to mean “ the throat Jcutters.” It is said that they en tered into this outbreak alter full considera tion, and with a full knowledge of the risks they encountered from the power ot the whites, and made up their minds to die in case of a failure. How tar the result will " justify this heroic deteimination remains to bo seen. There is no dcubt that at New trim they fenght boldly and determinedly. Ignatius Donnell*. OUTBREAK ON RED RIVER. COPY OF A PETVATE LETTZH to JTDBON PAUSES. Four Abkbcboxbie. Dacotah Tzb't. } Aug. 25tb, Monday, 4 o'clock, a. m, J We are passing through a great Indian ex citement. Nothing like it has ever happened in this port of the country. Our interpreter went over to Yellow Medicine the Ist oi July to the Indian payment. He returned last wttk, and reported that the government had Jailed to pay the Indians, and he feared the result would be Indian depredations. The commander doubled the guards all arouud. Thus we went along till last Saturday morning, when a messenger arrived, and iu tormed us tbat some 500 Indians had crossed the Otter Tall to or cut off a Urge train of goods (some thirty teams) belonging to the Hudson Bay Company and the gov ernment. These teams were between thU place and Georgetown. "Word was sent out ordering the teams to this fort as quick as possible. Messengers were also sent to Breckinridge, Old Crossing, Graham’s Point, and to all the settlers round about, ordering them to fiee to this place for protection, as we could give them none outside. Every body came, with their families, goods and cattle. Three men stopped in Breckinridge. They were at the Breckinridge House, and they said that should remain and defend their things at all events. About the middle of the afternoon six men were sent out on hors es, to see if they could get any information from the Indians. Tney went down as far as Breckinridge, and as they approached the house they saw that the windows were bro ken in, the doors opened, and cattle killed and cutup. They called, but received no an swer. All at once a huge number of Indians spiung up from behind hoards, wood, and other things, and imdc for them. They turn ed their horses and run off, thus saving their lives. Yesterday morning a party went down. The bodies of the three men were found lying on the floor of the Breckinridge House, bally cut up. Tnere were chains round their legs, and the floors of the rooms were covered with blood, looking as though these meu hid been drawn round by their legs and killed slowly, as they had their war dance. The cattle, some twenty, were killed and driven off. The stage was found In Red river, with the top cut oil'. The driver and horses cannot be found. We do not know, but it is supposed that the stage arrived there in the cv» ning, with some 2,500 pounds of freight, the driver killed, the horses and goods sioicn. Many of these goods I should judge were for Mr. atone, post sutler, by articles found ou the prairies; and I bad but a shore time be fore ordered a bill from St. Cloud, which X was expecting by every stage. The mall which came down from Bad river last Friday was very large. Two large bags were found cut open, the letters broken open, and scattered over the prairie. Several drafts have been found, I am told. 'Where the Indians are now is not known, though some were seen-by the guard last night. We are ready for them, come when they please. We cm-protect ourselves. We have but one company, andean give no pro tection to outsiders, unless’ they come to us. We must have more soldiers here, or the peo ple and travel cannot be protected, and it is a shame that the authorities have left the In habitants of this whole upper country to be . protected by one company. Think of It—to-, day not a single man, woman or child living inihe townof Breckinridge. What has been the fate of other towns below we have not heard. TVe feel perfectly safe in the fort The sol diers from Georgetown came in to-night, and we have got some seventy citizens carrying anna. THE ORIGIN AND EXTEXT OP OUR IXDIAX DIFFICULTIES. The important and interesting narrative of Other-Day, throws great light on the origin and extent of the Indian : outbreak, a very much abreviates the. proportions of the af fair. The prevailing idea that - this outbreak was an organized aud preconcerted raid of all the Dakota bands, involving wide combinations with other tribes, seems to be entirely dissi pated by tins simple and straight forward siory. There might have been a concealed organization with a view to an onslaught on the whiles, among some of the M’de W.ikan ton Indians at the Lower Agency; but it is . quite obvious from this narrative that if such a conspiracy existed, several ot the most nu merous bands and influential chiefs were not in it or in any manner accessory to it. Wa bssbaw, who arrived just before the outbreak was totally ignorant of it. It is also evident that none of the Upper gioux, the WahpetoßS and Slssitons, or Yank tons, knew anything o! such a conspiracy; and they came into the raid after the rising at the Lower Agency, only because, with true Indian logic, they regarded themselves as hopelessly involved in the punishment which they foresaw would be visited on their friends, the former—the Wakpetons—giving in their adhesion with great reluctance, aud protesting throughout against the murder of the whites. It was evident that it was by the connivance of the Wakpetons, that Other-Day was Ena bled to (.fleet the rescue of the whites at the Upper Agency without opposition. It is also gratifying to know that The tanner Indians ot liieHaz’cwood Republic are not only not par ties to the raid, but even meditated an armed opposition to it. According to Other-Day, one of the Indians at Lacqui Parle, and beyond, were implicated, in it, or knew anything about it. A great many oftbe plain Indians had gone westward io hunt bufialo. Except a few straggling Yajiktons, there were no Missouri Indians engaged in the affair, and none within reach who could since have been assembled. It is evident there was no preconcert or organiza tion among the Sioux bands. It is as once a further evidence of this, and a proof that there was no combination with the Chippe was—a thing of itself im probable—that a war party of one hundred Sioux hod, a few days before, started out from the country above Teliow Medicine, against the Chtppewas at Red Lake. From these facts it is obvious tint it is only the Sioux on or near the Reservation who are implicated in these murders, or wil ling parties to it. Supposing the whole of these far and near, who were accessible at the time, to have been since drawn into it, their whole force cannot number more than SOO. This seems to us, and we are somewhat ac quainted with the numbers and localities of the various bands, a "high estimate of the numbers engaged, and we do not think it probable that there are now more than. 600 in the affair. The first accounts received, by a confusion of dates, indicated an apparent simultaneous ness in tbe massacres at different points which naturally ltd to the belief of an organized and general uprising. But we now know that these events followed upon one another, the successive effects of a blind and sanguinary contagion, without design or premeditation. The first blow' was struck on Sunday, at Ac ton, Meeker county, by four miscreants of Little Six’s hand. They fled to Redwood, w here, covered with the blood of their victims andfiarful of being delivered up to the au thorities, they took advantage of the prevail ing disaffection to incite an insurrection, and escape punishment themselves by involving the whole tribe in tbe same crime. Whit followed are tbe natural results of the Indian character. Let Col. Sibley then abandon these panic-bred chimeras of vast armies of Indians, and k ovc forward at once to mete out to the rascals Ihp jmt punishment of their crimes.

While we dally see °*her papers calling themselves democratic engaged in the diereoutable work of playing into the hands of the common enemy, we rarely deem their conduct worthy of notice, because like the man who stole a horse In or der to gain notoriety, they prefer the notoriety of infamy for themselves, to the welfare of the Democratic party. Bat when we see the Register) through inadvertence even doing wtong or making a mistake, we feel it to'be. the duty of friendship aa well as a duty to the vmerable party around whose past histories -tl ere are so many glorious associations* to cili its attention to the fact, - - .Seme weeks ago an individual named Fnu _cis !W. Hughes, issnedvorious addresses to th ‘‘Democracy of Pennsylvania,” which were very graphically written, and very elaborately ‘‘got up.’* No man who read them and who knew thtir source could fail to see that the writer was seeking notoriety at the cost of the “ Democracy of Pennsylvania.” Some papers at the East very foolishly accused the>riter of uttering treasonable sentiments; whereupon Mr. Hughes sent copies of his productions to Gov. Seward, asking that gentleman for his opinion.. Mr. SewardJ very courteously read the documents, and assuming that thy had no covert meaning, returned them to thelrauthor with some wholesome advice to the effect that men ss loyal as the Democracy of Pensylvania might find some more appropriate time th e pn sent to be seeking to keep alive party distinctions and divisions, wnen there was au armed enemy in the field threatening the ex istence of the republic. The State Register very properly and justly compliments Mr. Seward for hU letter, but we think it travels very far out of its way when it speaks of Mr. F. W. Hughes as a man en titled to speak for the Democracy of Penusyl vani, or when it speaks of Mr. Hughes and the Pennsylvania Democracy’ as identical, "Who U Mr. Hughes V His he no history in the past Jrom which the Register might have learned that Mr. Hughes’ association with the democracy is after the style of Lucifer with the angels who did not rebeL If the Register^ ill look to its files of 1360, it may find thatVr. Hughes is great in the way of addresses, will find that before aud after the convention, and. before and alter tne Balljmore convention, Mr. Hughes, in pronnnclamentoea, profesrtTJg-.to '-speak Jfior the Democracy of Pennsylvania m*largcPthat Democracy con sisted in of the admin istration, anAy>H.ahJß Buchanan and Mr. Bnchamm’KpabinethacTnecided that no man could be a not a supporter of the adminiiTpttion, • particularly in the choice of candidatetfbr the approaching elec tion, therefore, he,M£. F. TV. Hughes, chair man of the state central commit tee ot far ’as he could do so by his paper mwifiMttpes ruled out o£ the democratic party who were not tup pences of Mr. Hughes v.-as one of the gang who sup ported irfSsrder that Lincoln might be elected, Vsjd\the south be famished with a pretext Mr, Hughes, was prolific during 18G0 of proclamations and circulars. He thrust himself in the way of concession and harmony, insisting that Breckinridge was the only Democratic candi date. Mr. Hughes was juntas much a Dem ocrat then as be is now; just as much a dis nnionist then as now, and as he was then the ally of Breckinridge, Yancey and Slidell, aud we think, il he dared do so, he would openly profess their cause now. He calls upon the Democracy to turn aside from the war at this moment, to pass resolu tions denouncing the. abolitionists for pro ducing this war, when he knows, and every man knows, that had it not be.cn for just such men as he at the North, there wonld have been no disunion candidate in 1800, and abo lition would have been swept from theUnd by tbe election of the representative man of the Democracy. The Reyhter may have a forgiving spirit, its charity may be so great that it ,can lie down with the betrayers of the Democratic party, the traitors of I860; it may in its own love of the human family consent to act and consort with W. F. Hughes, the arch traitor of Penn sylvania, or, which wonld be far less objec tionable, claim Jessee D. Bright as a familiar, but we have no idea that the Democracy of Illinois or Pennsylvania will follow in the as sociation. The men above all others who deserve reprobation, condemnation and public de testation are those who, calling themseives Democrats, supported the disunion ticket in 1860, knowing as they well did, the purpose and determination of tue South to dissolve tbe Union in case Lincoln was elected. We might respect Jeff. Davis and Tauccy, but for their miserable tools like this man Hughes, there can be no other feeling than contempt. It m«y do well for secessiou-if-they dare newspapers to claim fellowship with Hughes, and boast that he is not a traitor, but for a really Democratic paper like the Register to be caught in such a trap, is rather Incomprehen sible. Tire I. onQon Bally Notvs on Earlßas- sell’s Juettcr. [Prom the Daily r-'evr?, Aug. 15.] Lord Russell, in his reply to Mr. Seward, assumes an air of very conscious superiority, in referring to the policy of tue cabinet on the American war. He directs attention, in a tone of rather lofty self-gia’ulation, to the magnanimous conduct of the British govern ment in having maintained a strict and im partial neutrality, notwithstanding “thein sults constantly heaped upon the British name in speeches and newspapers” in the United Slates. We cannot well appreciate the magnanimity of such a proceeding, nor do we think it veiy dignified to claim credit for superior virtue on any such ground. In the first place, there has re illy been very little seriously to complain of in the general tone of feeling toward this country on the other side of the Atlantic. Violent and in temperate things have no doubt been said and written in the excitement of the contest; but afterall, these hostile demonstrations are few compared with the speeches and writings of a better and more friendly character. But had they been far more numerous it is surely hardly consistent with dignity and self-respect to make any reference to such temporary ebu lilions of feeling in an official dispatch. Tue formal intercourse of responsible govern ments is regulated by the maxims and usages cf international law, by recognized principles of public right, not by the fluctuations popu lar iteling. These maxims of public law remain as the guides of public action amidst all the various changes of opinion; and it is but a poor boast for any government to say it has not been deterred by unlriendly criticism from doing its obvious duty toward a friendly power. Besides, in this particular case, Mr. Seward might well reply in the words of the foreign secretary's own dispatch: “As to the course of opinion in this country, the president (the foreign secretary) is aware that perfect free dom of comment upon all public events is in this country the invariable practice, sanction ed by law, and approved by the universal sense of the nation/’ Recent events have, however, furnished Mr. Seward with another retort more pointed and direct if not more conclusive. "Whatever insnhs may have been “ heaped on the Brit ish name” in America, no public man of cha racter and position on the other side of the Atlantic has yet that we know of reviled the whole British nation in the presence of the leading representative of the American gov ernment, and with the hearty support of the leading organs of that government. An Eng l#h member of Parliament, has recently called He people of the Northern States “the Beam refuse of Europe,” in the presence of the Vine minister of England, and at a public Banquet given in his honor; and the journal that specially represents the prime minister applauds the speaker and the speech to the very - echo. Tlls journal, Imdecd, goes out of its way to emphasize the insult by endeavoring to mag nify the importance of the speaker: “Mr. Roebuck, 1 ’ says the ministerial organ, “ does not, indeed, speak with the autnoritv of a milkier, or with the practical responsibilities ot a political office; but he is an old and dis tinguished politician, the representative of an important community, and renowned for his fearlessness and independence. It is this “distinguishedpolitician,” whom the minis terial organ delights to honor, who calls the Americans “ the scum and refuse of Europe,” Alter this, we shall, hardly, perhaps, venture on any further official complaints of the in sults heaped bn the British same in speeches and writings on the other aide of the Atlantic. Sensible Order of Gen. Hunter ontUe Use of me Bayonet* Headquarters Dept, op the Sours, J Hilton Head, Tort Rotal, S. C., V August 15,1852. j General Orders No. 26.—The majorgeu cral commanding desires to call the attention cl' all regimental infantry officers in this de partment to the paramount importance of jamilhrizing their commands with the manual of the bayonet Our soldiers should be in structed in regard to the proper use of this weapon as their greatest assurance of safety, and most certain means of success in every struggle. The bayonet should be constantly placed before them as the decisive weapon of every battle; not merely as a useful accessory or means of support to artillery, musketry, and the sabres of cavalry, bet as the chief and final aim of the service, to which all others are subordinate. They should be taught that, on the battle field, whiht irresolution or in activity will expose them to decimation by repeated volleys from the rifles and other fire arms of the enemy, a vigorous, charge, promptly executed and in good order, will expose them to but one voiley,with Immediate victory as its result. It is in bayonet charges that the physical superiority and higher intelligence of our stalwart soldiers over the enemy can make itself felt. They should be taught this truth—that with bay onets properly handled by-obedient regi ments, we are invincible; and their atten tion should be strongly drawn to this other fact, that bayonetiers, except in isolated cases, rarely come in actual collision —the side pos sessing-superior weight and - discipline, and which, rushes forward determined that noth ing bn’ death shall stop it, invariably breaking the morale of the enemy before reaching them, and .even disordering the one volley whicn the foe may fire, or attempt to fire, before turning in flight- All portions of the bayonet exercises are.-important—not that men in actual conflict can. assume all the attitudes and perform all the motions prescribed iu the manual; but because the-familiarity yrlth the weapon thus acquired, gives them confidence and mastery in its use. In suchhonrs of drill as the climate will permit, regimental infan try officers will .devote their . utmost truth will be impressed upon the men, lit ref erence to the bayonet charge, that “ from the nettle danger,. we pluck the flower safety.” In all reviews and inspection of troops here after to be htld,.the Major-General command ing will scrutinize, with special care, the pro ficiency cf all infantry raiments, and .regi ments serving as infantry, in the manual of the. bayonet.
