There is an increasing desire that this al
wsys successful general should be placed in
soIne command ii this quarter. &c IS Il ght-
ing general and that Is what the crisis calls
TAI. The country has confidence in the man
who captured Fort Donelson and won the
battle Of Pi,tsbuEg Landing, the great battle
followed up to the utter destruction Of the
enemy, II he had not been restrained By high
er authority. The attack Of the newspapers
upon Gen. Grant hare utterly failed to shake
his well-earncd reputation. he is fdoltzed by
his sold e1s, and his name alone would be a
tower IF strength here, As 1t is now In the
southwest.

The Men omonec Indians in Council
Singular Statements.

Tho shawana (Wis.) Journal, Of the 2s:h
ult., contains report Of council Of the Me-
ncmonee Indians, held at Klshona, In which
some remarkable statements were made One
Of the chiefs (Mch-chi-ke-nt1o) said that Dan
dy, the chief Of the Winncbagocs, had told
him that blow was to be struck this sum-
mcr at the white settlers, that he Dandy hsd
communication with the 6ecesslonlsts OF the
South, and that all the tribes Of the North
west Tere TO rise this summer and make
common cause with the reoels. Hs SAID fur
t1er, that if the Menomonees would join
them they would be protected by the South,
hut If they did not, the other tribes would
make war on them and exteruinate them.
Several other chiefs followed with similar rev
Citations Of the conspiracy concocted against
the whites at the instigation Of the rebels
There WIS general and gratifying expression
Of loyalty among the Menomoaecs at the
meeting, and determination on the part o.
the chiefs to remain faithful to their treaty
obligations aud peaceable toward the whites
This action Of the 3lenomonccs furnishes :
pleasing contrast to the villainous conduct Q

pine are OF the utmost importance to the e.
fcieucy ofour troops. Asingle regiment we'll
drilled is as effective in action rs two regi-
ments Of und1scIplined!recruits. It should be
the policy Of the general government to pro-
vide reserve corps Of million Of armed
end equipped men. Such force might be
placed in camps of instruction, at least for
stated periods during the ensuing year. They
would thus be at all times available for tha
purpose Of filing u2 the reduced rauks OF the
old regiments in active service, They could
also be be called into rcquisition, ut any time
or place, or on the occasion Of any sudden
emergency.
We should ever be prepared to march upon
the enemy with IN over erwhe1mipg force. We
should make the very earth tremb1o beneath
tho feet Of our well trained and inyiucible
batteries.
