THE REPORTED ENGAGEMENT AT NEW ORLEANS.
The New Orleans dispatches of Greytown
Hollinsso abound in exaggerations that some,
among them the President, believe that the
braggart was whipped. 1t may be, however,
that he gained some triaipg advantage. II
more than that, why he steamed in such
haste to New Orleans is question not easily
answered. ...
TROUBLE AMONG THE INDIANS.
There is trouble among some Indians of
the Dakota Territory. Rebel emissaries and
whisky dealers, whose business has been in
terfered with by the agent, have induced
Yauckton, Sioux, to revolt, and on the
morning of September 27 he came to the
Agency with his tribe and demanded a coun-
Gil. A council was held, but many of the
demands made by the Indians were so un-
reasonable that the agent refused to accept
them, whereupon the tribe departed. Soon
two hundred warriors, armed with weapons
of savage warfare appeared, surrounded the
Agency buildings and threatened to burn
them if the agent remained firm. When the
messenger lett the savages were in groups
still menacing. The station is defenseless-
the nearest troops 1.-TWO companies) being at
Fort Randall, twelve miles distant. Rein
forcements are needed Immediately.
GOING TO HELP UNCLE SAM FIRST.
In one of the companies the Eighth Wis
copsin Regiment was young man, under
age, who enlisted without his fathers con.
sent, and contrary to his wishes. The father
a farmer, residing in the north. western parl
| of the State, wrote several letters to his son
| while the regiment were in quarters at CamE
Randall, for the purpose of persuading hin
to return. At last he wrote him that ht
must come-that he had a large amount o
| threshing TO do-that he could not afford tC
hire help, if it were to be had, (which wa:
hardly possible, owing to the number Of en-
| listments-and that he must return home and
help him, even if he enlisted again afterward
The young man replied;
"DEAR FATHER: can't go home at pres.
ent. l should he very glad to help you, but
Uncle Sam has got ID sight Jiggei
thTeshiHg on hand than yOu haze, and Tn
bound TO see him ont Of the S0OodS first"
LET SOUTH CAROLINA BEWARE.
The Irish Brigade at Fort Schuyler had
review on Saturday, and were addressed bl
the eloquent and gallant Meagher with hi
usual fervor, vigor and patriotism. He wa
followed by Captain Hogan, who remarked
as Mr.. Meagher had called on the brigade h
take an oath, he would willingly admiDiste
it. "The walls of this fort are strong, boys,
said he, "but if the walls within which Cor
coran is confined were ten times as strong
ask you, every man, to raise his hant
and swear he will to desert the fla
of his adopted country until Colonel Cor
coran is released, and triumphantly returne
to his home" Again we repeat, let tn
wind. bags of South Carolina beware. Th
blood of Old Ireland is up, and the battle
