Bnlicr, after spiking the guns and the ■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canae it ■ to rotgm at once into the Union from which -only by force and the chicanery of rebel lead ers it was ever withdrawn.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. THE PESHSYLTIKH EE. SERVES. -General Headed Last Order—A State ment of the JDUUcDIty. Hx&rqrAnrrns Amt op the Potomac. I May 8,13.4. f GENERAL orders NO. 23. The commanding General has learned that not withstanding the caution contained in General Orders No 12, of April 25, SCI, from these head quarters, there arc men In the army who refaee to do duty on the ground that their term of service has expired. It will be made known to each men that their conduct being open mutiny, they will be punished with death, without tria-. unless they return to dntv;and hereafter any soldier who re fuses to do duty on similar plea, will instantly be shot without anyform o! trial whatever. The honor of the service and the necessities of the hour admit of no other disposition of such cases. The Commanding General again expresses the hope that the soldiers of th*s army will respect folly ask lor and cbeetfnliy abide by the decision of the War Deportment, with respect to their term of service, hot be has no further word or warnin'- for those who, at a time like the present, choo-e to defy authority. Corps and other independent commanders arc charged with the execution of rhu order. Dy command of Major Gen. Meade. tJ S. Williams. A. A, G. ■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. TISE WAR tV lORTH CARO* LEVA. Oar Force* Withdraw From Little TVa>lllusion—The Situation.

Mranns, May S.—The True DtUa says; It is 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 ish, to nave the channel of the river turned in that direction,and their opponen s have frequently had to invoke the interference cf the Police Joit to prevent such a misdirection of the war of Little Rod Bnt this cannot effect ihe navigation of the river at Grand Ecore, for the thaler that flows Into tbe lube at its head, through ihe canal, must come ont into the river below, by the way of Grand Baton or Bayou Pierre, and tbe depth of the chan nel at the point where onr tnrsports and ennboats ure now stationed, or on the falls at Alexandra will not bc effected by the cot-off.

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. Tour friend, W. T. Srzrjian, Maj.-Gen, [Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.] 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. (Signed,) S. A. lluulbot, Major General U. S. V. 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. ■)From the Cairo News, 2.] General Bnvman, on Thursday last, issued an order prohibiting the transportation of mail matter Into any part o! Kentucky or Tennessee In this District not occupied by Union troops. Tills is n iommon sense onto, nnd should toe been mode lenpneo. For tally a year past the mail has been the test mems of communication between tae reb cl- South and their aiders and sympathizers *a the worth. Their epics In this city and other places could with Impuultylorwaidall neededinforma lon respecting army movements, the sacredness of the Stilfprovinn inple security against jl n cto at delation. The reins must bo drawn tighter With the rebels: they must be made to fed that they are rebels, and that they have forfeited most of the ritht* which they formerly enjoyed. Wherever they have the power. Union men are made to suf fer Western Kentucky is rated with a rod of Iron. Tfce rebels boast that not a Union vote shall be cast Inthclet District, die next election, outside the Federal lines, and that they will send a Copperhead la Anderson’s place, to represent them in the next Congress. Union men are mercilessly conscript, or forced to leave their homes and families to pre vent being sent to swell the rebel army—the coons broken cp, and the very semblance uf justice abol ished ; yet so tender have we been with these peo ple that nntll recently we permitted their free in grese within onr lines; trade had scarce a restric tion, and we famished them the means of commc nicatlon with their friends and • sympathizers abroad. If *the Government cannot protect Its friends in Kentucky, it can at least prevent its ene mies from enjoying any benefit from their proxim iiy to the North; it can cat off the supplies which they have been receiving from the North, and cox pel them to rely npon their own exhausted re* sources. Let the system of non-intercourse, in augurated by Gen. Brayman, be rlgidlv carried oV, and in a few months disloyaltyln Western Ken tnckv will be comparatively unknown, and her peo ple be but too anxious to return into that Union which they are now laboring to destroy. 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.

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. FBO n DUBIKfcUF.

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 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.

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.

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.
