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.

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.

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.

liCt ter from a Paroled Prisoner.
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

Col. Sibley did not move his command from

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.

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.

What tlio Illinois State Register is
Poiog,
[From the Chicago Post, Aug. 20th.]
The Illinois State Register is a Democratic
paper entitled to the respect and confidence
of the Democratic party. 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.

[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.
