The Indian War about Ended.

From the dispatches which Gen. Pope
received from Gen. Sibley yesterday, it
appears that the Indian war, SO far as the
Lower Sioux are concerned, is nearly ex-
terminated. With the exception of
scarcely half q dozen who remain with
Little Crow, the entire force of Indians
belonging to the lower bands have sur
rendered TO Gen. Sibley, and he has, i, il
believed, upwards of two thousand prison
ers.
A portion of the Sissitons under Sleepy
Eyes, have gone of over the Coteau prai-
RE towards the Big Sioux River. These
are believed to be the ones who commit
ted the murders at Lake Shetek and 9th,
er places near the Iowa line. A force OF
mounted men are already in pursuit of,
and will no doubt soon capture these fell
lows; and the Yanktons, or Cut heads,
who have been mixed up in these affairs
and who have more particularly been con,
cerned in the attacks on Fort Abercrom
bic, and the murders on Red River, will
be promptly pursued and properly pun.
ished.
This will all be the work of verv short
time, and We may all soon rejoice that
one of the most horrible wars that the
world has ever witnessed, is about termin.

A report which we mentioned last night
to the effect hat the enemy's cavalry, l0,-
600 strong, was at Leesburg. and perhaps
bound on dash into Washington, caused
unusual precaution to be taken last night
by the authorities. An expedition was
sent out to ascertain the facts. They
proceeded to Leesburg and finding only
a few cavalry there they entered the town.
There they learned that Stuart's cavalry
had been encamped near the town on the
road to Conrad's Ferry, from Sunday
noon until Monday NJ, at which time
they passed through Lersburg on their
way back to Winchester as was supposed
Scouts from various other directions have
come in, all Of whom bring the report of
no enemy in force this side of Bull Run
and Kitten Mountain.
A reconnaissance to Culpepper found
only few cavalry there.

FACTS vs.. FAISEHOOD.


1t has all along been affirmed, to prove
the undoubtcd loyalty of their party, by
Democratic leaders, chat as many or more
Democrats have enlisted in the National
army as Republicans The late election
affords an excellent opportunity of testing
the correctness of these assertions. Let
as look at the returns of the Iowa regi-
ments, which fortunately for our own
State as well as the proof, have the priv.
ilege of expressing their choice for rulers
over the country which they are absen,
from home only to defend. Observe the
votes of those now in the State; two, three
and even FIVE Republican votes TO one
Democratic. The discrepancy will be
much greater in the regiments in the field,
for thousands who went away Democrats
have had their eyes somewhat opened by
passing events which they know best how
to realize, and as honest men and patriots
they will hereafter discard party and vote
for the good of the country.
If any of our Democratic friends are
at all skeptical, let them refer to the vote
OF Iowa soldiers in the Keokuk Hospital
published in this number. Thirty-two
Democrats to two hundred and FIVE Re-
publicans does not look as though more
Democrats had gone to the war (from the
loyal States, we mean than Republicans
