THE NEWS.
Ncwhem advices of April 30 confirm the
■evnenation of Washington, N. C., hy order of

■destruction of much property that could not
he carried away. It was discovered thit the
enemy had left for Virginia, leaving but seven
■companies in front of the place. Besponalve
to similar call onr forces also retire, lor It
seems only sensible to concede that North
Carolina, will follow the fortunes of Rich
mond, and Its possession he fully decided by
the issue, of the approaching battle. All
minor flghtingin the State until anch event
is only a waste of powder. If Grant drives
Lee’s army out of Richmond, not even the
most sanguine rebel will seriously loot to
see the rebel army make a stand in the old
North State. The first general disturbance
■of the rebel supremacy therein will canae it
■ to rotgm at once into the Union from which
-only by force and the chicanery of rebel lead
ers it was ever withdrawn.
And we have elsewhere fresh proof of the
atrocities and appalling terrorism resorted to
by the rebels to keep down the rising Union
ism in that State. This gives the saddest fea
ture to the temporary retraction of ourforcest
for the dispatch states that the rebels have
already commenced massacrclng all who hare
accepted the President's Amnesty Proclama
tion, and pressing into their service all capa
ble of bearing arms. This will fall heavily
upon the loyal men indneed by our occupa
tion of the points now vacated, to break
cover and avow their sentiments.
Western Kentucky is to be strictly left out
In the cold, as Ikr ss mail facilities for the
present arc concerned, it being suspected
that the privileges thereof while enjoyed
have been more helpful than dtherwisc to the
rebel cause.
Gold inude only a latnt wiggle yesterday,
and changed the quarters (of a cent) only
iligh ly, tailing nearly two cents. This
means nothing, except that the gtld opera
tors are doubtful of what is to tarn up. They
will know soon. They know now that a
great Federal victory will make gold even at
18 too hot for anybody to hold.
The difficulty with the Pennsylvania- Re
serves in the Potomac Army seems to be still
open. We give, elsewhere, Gen, Mehde's
last, and most significant orders, and a Wash
ington dispatch which will convey a fall
Idea of the points at issue. These Reserves
arc Maj. Gen. McCalTs old Division, and they
Lave done some excellent fighting. It is a
3 Sty if their reputation is to be tarnished by
mutinous demurring now,
• We regret to say that another special dis
patch in bur yesterday's issue is probably
true, which stated that a train, belonging to
• Gen. Steele's army, of 240 wagons, guarded
by portions of the Gtb Missouri, 18th Illinois,
mid ISth and sth Indiana cavalry, and seven
pieces of artillery, were all captured by the
guerilla chieftain Marmadnke, on the 35th ult,
< when about thirty miles from Pine Blali; on
the train's return trip for provisions. Oar
dispatch placed the loss of men at onethons
. and captured, besides those who fell in the
fight. This Is a severe blow to Grn. Steele,
and may compel his army to fall back to Lit
tle Bock or Pine Blnit Our troops on the
west side of the Mississippi have met a bad
• streak .of lock >hi« spring.
At Dnbnqne yesterday was held the North
western Ship Canal Convention, having for
its object the improvement of the Fox river
of Wisconsin as the water outlet to the Lakes
for the trade of the Mississippi For thfc
measure the most efficient workers Just now
-are the railroads with their oppressive tariffs
cn produce.
A Cairo dispatch gives ns In fall, Maj.
•Gen. S, A- Hurl‘mt's Farewell Order to the
10th Army Corps. It Is a very haadsome
tribute to the valor and service of that noble
•body of troops.
Our news this morning reports Banks ret
rograding from Grand Ecorc, and thus the
Shreveport Expedition Is at an end. a lt was
virtually so pronounced indeed, when, im
mediately subsequent to the recent battle,
•Gen. Sherman peremptorily called off a large
force of Gen. Banks' army. Neither Gen-
Grant nor Gen. Sherman favor Just now the
acatteration policy. All that is to be done
in Louisiana or west of the Mississippi is to
hold what we have, keep the river open by
gnuboatlaxatlvis and wait for the resnltsof
•the approaching grand battles.
We give a most interesting item of news in
our Me mphis dispatch, detailing the reception
of a letter from Major General Shermm by
■the Memphis Home Guard, stating in very
happy terms the whole question at Issue. He
‘tells them that It Is for the loyal citizens of
.Memphis to defend their own home?, and the
manner in which they have responded to his
orders and to this letter gives good assurance
that they will do so.
A Northern rebel piper declares that “ the
*•* fortunes ol the Republic are staked on a
‘•‘elrg'e battle; the defeat of Gen. Grant is
i 4 llic dissolution of the Union.” That is
precisely the way the tones talked during the
Revolution. They were eternally prognostic
casing the overthrow and dissolution of the
infant Republic Before each battle they
would predict, that if it were lost, all was
lost; bnt “If it were g-lned, It would only
“lea single step in a long and arduous
TOud.”
At Cincinnati yesterday the military au
thorities made a. seizure of several steam
boats for transportation purposes, and sent
them to Louisville.
In Congress yesterday Dan Yoorhecs made
a buret to defend bis fellow Copperheads,
•Judge Eckels and Davis of Indiana, from the
•cbsige recently preferred by Garfield of Ohio
<n tbefloor of the Boose, that on the per
son of a rebel captured on his way South
were found letters from each of these wor
thies, introducing him to the traitor Breck
inridge. Yoorhecs may prove that the bearer
of the letters forged them, but he cannot
persuade the country that it would not be a
help to a young adventurer with the bead
rebels to bear such letters from Eckels or
Davis, or even Dan Voorbees.
Bnt successive defeats only stimulated the
patriots to moke greater exertions. Com
plete triumph at last crowned their efforts.
But they bad*to wade through seven years of
bloody toil before U was achieved. Why
should this contest be given up on the loss of
4i battle ? Ought we not to make as much
sacrifice to maintain the Union as they did to
found it ? Is the Union worth less to ns and
cnrchUdrcntb&nitwasinits beginning to oar
forefathers and their children ? If they could
fight seven years for a hopeful theory, how
long ought wc to fight for a glorious fact ? A
Republic with them was an experiment; with
ns it is a reality. They gave us the best form
-of government ever bequeathed to mankind.
They enjoined on us to watch over it, defend
and perpetuate it
The special dispatch to this paper which
•appeared !u yesterday's issue, announcing
that Banks'army had*fallen back to Alexan
dria, and had whipped the rebel force which
annoyed Us retreat, capturing 1,000 prisoners
and nine guns, seems to be confirmed by
subsequent dispatches. The honor of the
achievement is credited to the 19th Army
■Corps, and if this success proves to be true,
as stated, It places as many prisoners in-our
hands as the rebda took from ns at the
Mansfield fight
A dispatch from Denver, Colorado, an
roueccs a fresh defeat of a party of hostile
Indiana on the South Platte. Gov. Evans is
moving for a veiy sensible and feasible meth
od ol complete protection to emigrants seek-*
ing the gold regions, against the acts of the
redskins.
The House yesterday passed the bill guar
■antcelng a Bepublican lorm ot government
to the people In the revolted States and pro-
Tiding for their return to the Union. The
-debate thereon was the occasion for vehe
ment harangues by the Copperheads.
OPimUGTHE BUI.
The impression generally prevailed last
week that this week Sherman’s and Grant’s
Annies would open the campaign. Earner
went so far ns to name Hay Ist as the day
ibr the grand advance to begin. But it did
-not. The dame was mistaken; bat not dls
- -cournged. 6be now asserts th«t Sherman
nsked a lew days’ delay in order to complete
his preparations, and that ere the week ends
the bugle will sound 44 boots and saddles.”
Ueanwhile a heavy stream of soldiers is poor
ing reinforcements into Sherman’s army, and
a heavier stream is swelling Grant’s vast
host, which reports state to number 250,003
or even more than that If ben Grant strikes,
Sherman will also strike, and Butler will
strike. Eigel is where he eon pat In a telling
Blow.
Sherman has now a good stock of supplies
VOLUMEXVII.
accumulated at Ohattanoogi It is generally
believed that he -will make direct lor Atlanta,
a point second only to Richmond In impor
tance to the rebels, and in a strategic point
of view, of more value to the Confederates
than their present • capital. Longstreet hav
tog withdrawn from East Tennessee to rein-*
force Lee, Sherman is no longer menaced by
the danger of a large rebel force marching
through Boll's Gap and falling on his line of
communications across the States of Tennes
see and Kentucky. He has probably occu
pied and fortified the Gaps before this time.
Sherman has great natural obstacles to
overcome before he can reach Atlanta The
rebels under Johnson bold a line of Immense
strength near Dalton. It Includes the strong
ly fortified positions at Tunnel Hill and Buz
zard's Roost. And beyond these arc the
Coosa and Etowa rivers to be crossed in the
face of a vigilant, powerful and resolute
enemy. But once these difficulties are sur
mounted and the rocky chain is passed, Sher
man's army will emerge upon the plains of
Georgia, and find a country comparatively
unexhausted of supplies, with roads running
parallel with the streams leading to Charles
ton and Savannah.
And now comes to appear, if it has not
before, the'propriety, of the one hundred
days call. An army of over four hundred
thousand men will soon be operating simul
taneously on the extremes of the Confede
racy. We need the special levy called for to
guard against contingencies.
It would be fortunate for the country if all
the States would imitate those of the West
that have offered to raise one hundred thou
sand men for one hundred days. If General
Grant should fail in his first movements,
those men w ill be needed to resist the de
moniac energy with which Lee's army will
advance into Maryland and Pennsylvania, or
in the event of the defeat of Sherman below
Chattanooga, seek to roll back the wave of
war upon the Ohio. On the other hand,
should Gen. .Grant overcome Lee and drive
bis army within the fortifications of Rich
mond, wre ought then to be able to penetrate
the South from Chattanooga on the one side,
and Weldon, North Carolina, on the other,
and hy one decisive blow destroy the sources
of the life of the rebellion in the Carolinas,
Georgia, and Alabama. ’Whatever then may
be our fortune, it Is desirable that our force
In the field should be augmented as much as
possible.

■Washington, May 2.—The Thrj«’dispatch ears;
There is trouble brewing In the army among the
Pennsylvania Reserve troous. A knowledge of the
facts which underlie the difference between them
and the War Department may become both useful
and Interesting. In May, 1861. Pennsylvania or
ganized a 44 Deserve Corps.” of fifteen regiments,
and swore the men in lor her service, for three
years, subject to the call of the.Trcsidcnt. In July,
alter the bttt'e of Bnfi Dun, the President called
forthem. They were sent to Washington and soon
thereafter were muttered Into the service of the
United States. The men claim that their time will
be up in May, 186*. Thev seek to fortify this claim
by citing an order of the War Department and the
practice of the Pension Bureau, dating ihotermof
service from the day of enrollment. The War De
partmint rules, bowetcr, that troops mast serve
the United States three years from the date ofthelr
muster into the service of the United States.
This would stem to be law and common
sense, and the Government will undoubted
ly adhere to its expressed purpose to retain the
troops In rhe service. They, to be sure, will feel
restive under the prolongation of the term lor
which they intended originally to contract. Bat
they did deliberately contract with the government
for three years’ service, and it would seam as if
there was nothing for them, to do bat to stick to
the bargain manfully, and to look to tbelr State au
thorities and their own officers for any satisfaction
they may crave lor not having the two months thev'
had served in Pcniisy.vanla allowed upon and de
ducted from the time for which it was notorious
that the United States alone made contracts with
soldiers. It is said that the private* In the Deserve
regiments have unanimously determined to qnletly
lay down their arms and refuse to perform farther
duty when their time is np, ns they measure it. It
i« to be hoped they will be dissuaded from this ac
tion. Gen. Meade has addre-sed to them a circu
lar. In which kindness and firmness are well blend*
«d. and in which he entreats them to patriotic be
havior.

said the Confederates hare made a ent-off or canal
above Grand Ecore, by means of which they ex
pect to empty Red River into Grand Lake. We
are perfectly well aware of the fact that each a
canal can very easily be made, for it has long been
tie desire of a certain class of property holders
residing on the shores of this lake, in De Solo par

rived from Memphis, bringing dates of the 3d, p.
ro. The following letter, written on account of
rerorts given of the late review at Memphis, and
addresses then delivered to the officers, was read
to various regiments at their parade on Tuesday.
At its conclusion the hoys signified their hearty
assent to the sentiments of the letter by three
hearty cheers for Gen. Sherman. Such an outburst

Headq’rs Military Drv. Mississippi, »
Nashville, Teen., April 2G, 1864. f
Cctond John McDonald, Msmphit:
Dear Sir— I Laverecdved a copy of the Bulletin
with an account of your review and Generals Ilarl
hut’s and Dockland's speeches. 1 have always ex
pressed myself so frankly on this subject that I
don’t believe a single man in Memphis la ignorant
of my opinion. It is boih doty and should be a
pleasure to a brave man to defend his property.
The United States has done for Memphis all its
people could ask, and they are now honnd In honor
to relieve our soldiers of all that local doty of gnard
ard defense which is necessary, leaving onr paid
soldiers to go forth and meet the enemy wherever
he may be found.
1 know that enrolled men In Memphis will fight
who own property. We have a right to remove to
some foreign land eveiy citizen who Is hostile or
inert; bat instead of Its being done suddenly and
violently, II will occur naturally and slowly.
Gen. Dockland is perfectly right in giving strong
preference, in business favor, to those who not
only pnbltcly acknowledge their duties of citizens
and tax-payers, bnt who take np arms and fight
for peace. If in time silent and grumbling citi
zens endanger the safety and peace by connivance
with an enemy outside, I trust he will make short
work of them. I honor and respect the enrolled
militia of Mcmphis,nndst sert that If they persevere
in the plan we have initiated, the time will come
. when fools, who pretend to make light of them,
will repent in death and poverty their folly and
cowardice.
Yon may read this to your command.

Gen. S. A. Hnrtbut yesterday Issued the follow
ing order, upon taking leave of the ICth army
corps:
GEN. nURLBUT’S FAREWELL ORDER.
nzApqcAitTzna Plm Abut Corps. J
Cairo, 111., May 2, :8»4. }
GENERAL OBDER NO. 43.
The Lieutenant General commanding the armies
of the United States has this day relieved mo from
the command of ihe IGth army corps. In bc mak
ing from a body of officers and men wimntha c
so lone commanded, it would be iiMropej anl in
consistent with my feelings If I did not ei* e so ae
testimonial o( service? rendered and dml s p -r
--formed by this corps. One year ago the 16U. arm •
corps bore upon its rolls S\OOQ men. From th 9
ample force heavy details were eenttoVickslnrg.
and others to Arkansas, and their services u. de
other commanders and in other organizations h. ye
become historic. 'With the remainder thollnrof
the Memphis and Charleston railroad and the lines
of the Tennessee, Ohio and Mississippi rivers from
Pedocah to Helena were long and
successfully held. The left wing of
this corps, under command of Brig. Gen. Dodge,
co-opcratcd with Maj Gen Sh< raum in his advance
in October to relieve Chattanooga and Koox
ville,and now bolds the right flank of the active
army of Tennessee. Two divisions of this corps
participated in the march to Meridian, and under
the able direction of Brig. Gen. A. d. Smith rolled
buck the tide ot disastrous battle on Red River. It
is with proper pride that I claim Smith and Mo wer
and their commands as parts of this corps. Nor
do I forget to give credit to a detachment from the
17th armv corps, which marched and fonghc as
brothers inarms with them. Nor is it least among
the credits due to the ICth army corps, that it for
nieled to Maj. Gen. W. T. Sherman, then com
manded the ISth corps, I>7o wagons and teams and
7,tCO new muskets, for without that transportation
tis march trom Corinth to Chattanooga and from
Chattanooga to Knoxville could not have been
made in the time necessary for the relief of those
points.
Reduced by these heavy drafts the slender
retiduo of the IRlh army corp was. notwithstand
ing, expected to cover the line of the o-d district of
Vest Tennessee, to protect the river and to hold
immerse depots and hospitals at Memphis.
The cavalry division reduced by exposure and
duty—(lor the record shows constant and dashing
w orhV—by furlough of veteran regiments and ab
solute want of horses to comparative inefficiency,
and infantry not more than sufficient for garrison
duty, rendered this command unequal to the task
assigned it. They have lost no honor by not per
forming impossibilities. Every day now brings
yon additional strength, and soon the day will
come when yon wilT reckon with the enemy for
this long enforced delay.
I shall not have the honor to command yon when
that day of reckoning comes. I trust yon may be
led by abetter officer, bat I shall nioice in yoor
success, for 1 know that you can and will do what
ever the same number of troops can perform. 1
beg of yon all to remember, that whatever may
happen to Individuals, whether of praise or blame,
of promotion or apparent censure, our cause sur
vives precious as ever, the nation remains, endu
ring, eternal. Let no event, of any nature, make
an officer swerve from the plain path of his mani
fest doty, or vary one hair from the devotion he
owes to the country, of which all officers, of all
grade?, are only temporary agents and servant?.
End the war first, crush out the rebellion, and we
shall all have time enough to quarrel over the re
set ciive merits and demerits of officer?.
It is to bc expeettd that libel and
slander will follow all who are
entrusted with important command, and Ido not
expect to be, nor have I been an exception to the
common fate; but when all these have done their
worst, 1 know that slow bnt inevitable truth
will overtake them, and that justice will at last be
done to all For such success as has happened in
the administration of my widely scattered com
mand, I confess myself largely indebted to the
corps staff officers, and to the prompt aud unvary
ing support I have constantly had from division
commanders. These pleasant relations are now
broken up. but their efficiency remains, far such
officer as the Commander-in-chief mavpnt in my
place. For me nothing remains bat to await with
patience and fulfil with punctuality whatsoever
may dc ordered. Officers aud men of the 16th
Army Corns, I hid you aa affectionate farewell.

Caieo, May 4.—Little Bock advices of the 91th
ultimo give information of a fight at Jacksonport
on the Tbun?da> previous, between our cavalry aud
McCrav, The latter had some six hundred robbers
with him. As usual, he made a dash for this place,
end cs scon as he was firtd upon took to his heels.
Our loss was two wounded. We picked up ten
dead rebels and eight wounded prisoners they had
left
At the fight at Augusta, on White river, thirteen
more dead rebels have been louud iu iho woods,
who probably died from wounds, making seventy-
Uirce we have had to bury for that fight. Colonel
Love, a rebel from Missouri, was among the killed
at the lasi fight at Jackeonport.
A scouting party recently came up with a band
of six euerritts in ihe vicinity of Pine Blnff and
killed their leader, the notorious “wild Jim” ol
Memphis. Three baßs pierced him at the same
moment, and literally took his head off.

THE WAR IN TIBGINII.
1 lie Situation—Tho Blow About to be
(Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune,]
Washington, May 4.
There are many exciting rumors afloat, and re
ports fully sustain the prognostications in recent
dispatches. The whole army In Virginia has, for
several days, been under marching orders, with
eight days rations. A sharp, strong, comprehen
sive blow Is to be struck, which will include the
ope ration of an army of nearly half a million men,
and extend along one whole great lino from Vir
ginia to the Tennessee. Bntlcr and Slgel have
also important parts to play In tho movement on
Richmond.
New York, May 4.—The Post's special says':
The rebels arc concentrating on immense number
of troops In Virginia, bnt oar military leaders pro
fees to be perfectly satisfied with tho situation. All
mail communication with the army of tho Potomac
and with the troops Is prohibited for the present.
The Washington special to the N. Y. Times says:
Mr. £. A. Pan) sends the following to this bureau:
All is quiet with the army of the Potomac to-day.
Everything Is in readiness for a movement at the
proper moment. Onr troops arc In excellent
spirits and anxions to advance against tbe enemy
under their new Command^r-in-Chlef.
General Burnside’s command ib in a favorable
position.
Deserters from the enemy all agree that Lee is
milking extensive preparations to meet Grant.
These people also profess to "believe that Rich*
ir.ond is being evacuated.'
The Wor'd t Washington special says:
An officer, formerly of tbe 18th North Carolina,
brought here to-duy. baring been captured on tbe
Potomac, says the general belief in Richmond is
that Lee’s entire army at present numbers about
ZU.U) and Longj-ircet, who was at Charlottsviile
when he left, bad 20, i 09. lie states that, should
Richmond be besieged, it could hold out one
month.
The Washington Sepub’lcan says It begins to be
feared in high military quarters that Lee Is en
deavoring to escape from the Ripldan to bis works
in the neighborhood of Richmond.
[By the Malls.]
Near Ai uxoton Heights, April 27,13‘4.—W0
are on the move again this morning—where to we
do not know, unless to meet the rebels up ou the
Rapidan. All writing of letters is now prohibited
at the front. The impression Is that there is to be
a big fight shortly, and an order has been issued
that no letters will te allowed from tho front for 3d
or 40 days. •
Bealtok, Va., April 27,1SG4.—Everything beto
kens a forward movement. Sutlers and speculators
have been sent to the rear, as well as ail extra bag
gage. We have eight days 1 rations on hand, and
under orders to march at a moment's notice.
Culpepper April 2.x.— I This army Is
again ready to move at any moment with Increased
numbers. Its morale never was better, its disci
pline nevermore perfect. Every effort has been
made to perfect the recruits {u tbe maffual ofarms
and manipulations of the line, and these efforts
have been successful. The maj- rity of the old
treops, veterans Included, are anxious tc be ou the
move, and declare that camp life is becoming Irk
sonc and sptrit'ess.
Tbe place is being fortified with earthworks, but
to what fxientlamcmlbletosayat present, but
heavy details arc made dally for this work. This
position is evidently lo he held at nil hazards, as a
base of supplies. The railroad is to be caro u'!y
gcanli d, and solid, and In many ca-ej. massive
block houi-cshave been put np ail along the line
fr- im Culpepper to Washington.
Fairfax Court House, April 23,— As the time
approaches for the contemplated movements, we
begin to sec what we all along have believed would
occur. Refugees by scores are coming within onr
lines, all desiring to go Norm. To-day, twQuty
seven in 000 squad passed oar camp, among the
number, nineteen whites and-eight colored; most
of them were women and children. The party was
very poorly clothed, and many of tbe children were
barefooted and bareheaded. One man, with whom
I talked, said there was food enough, but the poor
end laboring people could not get it. Two deser
ters came in with them, and remained at the *•re
serve” post, waiting fer several more who wero on
tie way to our lines. For several days past par
tis* of this character have passed our camp, the
majority of whom have been poor whites, whose
condition, in many instances, is even worse th-iq
that of the blacks.
Pdilaleli aiA, May 4.—The Enquirer has tho
following special dispatch from Baltimore: 1 con
versed to-day with a dc*cr»er from the reb l army,
and only a few days from Richmond, who tooß the
oath of allegiance. He was bora in Virginia, has
been tn the Southern army three years and has
seen much service. He saw Longstrcet and his
whole army in Richmond some weeks ago. He
bos been all through Lee's fortifications, and
thinks them impregnable from a front attack. He
says the whole strength of Lee’s present army Is
not over 80,000, their food and clothing being bad,
but better now than heretofore. Rebel offi
cers and leaders pretend to be sanguine
of success, but the rank and file of the
army ere disheartened and less hopeful. The
rebel cavalry horses arc nearly starved, and unable
to stand fatigue. Only the feur of being shut pre
vents thousands of rebel privates from deserting.
They all want peace on any terms. Leo fears most
an attack in the roar, and being outflanked.
Evident preparations were seen at Richmond for
removing the archives and civil officials farther
south.
Cairo, May 4.
The whole city Is In a terrible state of commo
tion. Sly Informant says Lee’s fortifications ex
tend many miles back from bis present position on
the Raplaan.

(y-seven. In Colerain township, Captain Galich’s
company, composed almost exclusively of farmers,
and numbering ninety-three men, reported ninety
two for dnty, and the ninety-third on the sica-liat.
These facts show the earnest snlrlt of the people
and the appreciation felt of the* emergency under

of the fault-finders and rebel sympathizers hare
faded upon their laces at the gallant display sud
denly made of the really formidable nature of the
military organization in our midst.

[From the Detroit Free Press, 4th.]
Tbe chiefs of tbo Red Lake Pembina tribes from
the far Northwest, on their return from a visit to
Washington, passed through this dtr on Friday
night last. One of oar reporters fell in with them
up at Grand Haven, on Lake Michigan shore, and
■ from tbo United States interpreter, Mr. F. A. War
ren, obtained some facts which will he of Interest
to oar readers. There are seventeen of the chiefs
in charge of a brother of Senator Ramsey, of Min
nesota. accompanied by a physician. Or. Town
.-end, tbe United States Interpreter, and the cele
brated guide, Mr. Peter Butencan. Mr. B. was
tuide for Governor Stevens In hie Pacific Railroad
junmev; also for Capt Fisk In bis overland route
to Idaho last eeasoo, and was also guide to Gen
Sibley in bis last Summer’s campaign against the
Indians.
The chiefs were sent food by the government,
they having become dissatisfied with a treaty made
with them last summer, and in consequence have
made some depredations upon traders and mem
bers of the Hudson Bay Company, who were en
gaged In taking t? mda out from St. Pan 1 . In their
recent visit to Washington a tatisfiicjory treaty
was formed, by which the chiefs representing the
Red Lake and ti.mbma tnhes of Chlppewas relin
quish all right and title to government of between
two or three million acres of land along the Bed
river of the North, Tho Indians are to receive
Irom government an annuity of i -0,000 for twenty
years, part to be paid In money and part to be paid
•n goods. They are to be taught the arts of civili
zation, and for this purpose an Indian farm Is to
’•e opened and cultivated. a grist mill, saw mill,
etc., built. The present habitation of these tribas

gc.n-cwau-abc (Leading Feather); Moou-go-o-moro
(VcoEC dung) :Jlis-no-mndy-tiua (Bed Boar). They
are noble representatives of the Indian race, so far
as physical stature and carriage are concerned,
semeof them standing six feet and font Inches in
their moccasins, and straight as arrows. They are
far superior to the more southern tribes of Indians
that Inhabit Nebraska, Kansas and the Indian ter
ritory The Bed Lake and Pemhlua tribes belong
to the Chippewa family, and speak substantially
the same language, though they have different rules
and refutations, and are, to all intents and purpos
es a distinct and sovereign people. They are at
war with the Slonx, and pursue them withdeadly
hate whenever an opportunity occurs. One of these
chiefs about twenty years of age, ilay-gha-ke-aoish
hr name, (the Sweeping Wind), last spring fell up
on a camp of Slonx In the night time and killed
nineofthelrnumbcr. -Mr. Warremthe Interpreter,
eavcitas his opinion that considerable trouble
mkht he expected with the Northwestern Indiana
this season. The Chiefs cxprcsathemselveshlghly
d( Tabled with their visit to Washington and New
York. Ifvm take them tho rest of their Uvea to
relate the wonderful sights they saw. They hid
never seen a city as large as Bt. Paul, had never
seen o locomotive train, though they had oftan
be n told about tho wild and fiery horse, with hta
lun'-B of iron and ribs of steel, that belches forth
flro B from his nostrils and feeds upon wood and
water Their astonishment found expression In
various ways. Some shook their heads In dubious
wonderment, others laughed, and some were
mute and motlonlesswltu amazement. They were
much surprised to see thelrgrcat Father Abraham,
who owned so many cities and big farms, and was
tho Eig Chief of so many people, appear so plain
and simple. Inthclromclal meetings with Gov.

Recrcitino.— We hear the most satisfactory re
ports from those who arc raising companies and
regiments for the one .hundred day service. The
is increasing, and will soon be at fever
heat. Some of the oldest and wealthiest citizens
of Chief go are talking of raising a “grey-heard”
company, to be composed of men over forty-five,
to be attached to one of the regiments. It is un
derstood that Judge Fuller ana men of that char
acter arc engaged m the movement. We hope i t
will succeed. If any men have an interest In the
stability of the Government, and our success tn the
field, it Is those who are large property holders.
They surely bare a vital Interest in putting down
rebellion.
The First Peclment Is fast filling up. It Is un
derstood that sixty new names were added to the
muster rcll yesterday.
The officers to whom Col. flooghhaa given au
thority to enlist men for the Second Regiment, are
meeting with flattering success. Col. Sbimp has
taken hold ofthe Thirtf Regiment, Jost as he takes
bold of anything else, as u he meant to carry It
through all right. lie is getting along gloriously.
Onr American citizens will have to bestir them
pelves, or Peter and his German soldiers will be the
first in the field.
At five o’clock yesterday afternoon a meeting
was held in the large hall ot Bryant & Stratton's
Commercial College, tbe object In view being the
enrollment of a company, from among the mem
bers of tbe inst ttntlon, to enter in the regiment of
Col. Houch. Authority to recruit such company
has been given to Charles M. Brown, late ot the
101 th ill. Tbe meeting was colled to order by
Prof, llombcck, when Major Haskell made a most
stirring addtess. The latter has also a company la
the ecrac regiment which it is proposed tbe new
organization shall join. Tbe master roll of the
Bryant & Stratton Guards was well commenced
yes’erday, end will fill ap rapidly. This company
Is being gotten together under the best auspices,
and of such material as will moke it attractive to
many of our yonng men desirous to do their duty
In tbepresent crisis.
