THE INDIAN WAR IN THE NORTHWEST
The latest advices from Minnesota state tha
at the battle at New Ulm, on Saturday, the2
ult,, the whites suffered loss of ten killed ant
ffty-one wounded, and, feeling too weak to re
sist another attack, withdrew to Mankato
Forty-fve families are reported murdered at q
point sixty miles southwest of New Ulm, but
the number ia thought TO be exaggerated. The
outbreak appears to be general one, and in
cludes within its scope very large district of
territory.
There Ia also great excitement in Iowa rela
tive to the Indian raid in that State. A large
body of we'll armed Sioux have been reported
as coming down the west bank of the Des
Moines river, marking their progress with mur-
der and conAsgration. Settlers in Emmett and
Dickerson counties are fleeing north. Help 10
asked, and troops are to be sent up.
II is rumored that STERLING PRIoE, the rebel
General, is the instigator of these Indian out
breaks, and that the arms used by the savages
were furnished by him.
THE WAR in VIRGINIA.
The rebels, it seems, got into General PoPE's
rear, and on Tuesday night, the 26sh ult., cap
tured Manassas Junction, obtaining large
amount Of Federal stores, and on Wednesday
they proceeded as far as Fairfax, from which
point STuART's cavalry made dash on Vienna,
which Is only twelve or thirteen miles from
Washington. During these proceedings, sew
eral fights occurred, and our loss is reported as
large. General Pore sends a dispatch to Gen.
HALLEcK, under date of ten o'clock Thursday
night, stating that, on discovering that the en-
emy were turning his right,he withdrew from
Warrenton Junction TO Manassas Junction, ar
riviDg there three hours after JACKSON had
evacuated Il. JACKSON retreated by way of|
Centerville, and was met by MCDOWELL and
sIoEL six miles from that place, late in the
afternoon, when q severe fight took place
which was terminated by the darkness. The
rebels wore repulsed at every point HINT
zELMAn's corps were to move on JACKSON at
daylight on Friday morning, aud PoPE could
not see how the enemy were to escape without
heavy loss. There bad been several other en-
gagements, In one of which STURoEs is said to
have lost nine cannon, and in another HOOKER
achieved q complete victory.
Another dispatch from General Pore to Gen.
ersl HALLEcK, under date Of "Field of Battle,
Graveton, near Gainesville, August 80, u states
that terrific battle was fought the day before,
Friday, the 29th ult., with the combined forces
of the enemy, which lasted with continuous
fury from daylight till after dark by which
time the enemy was driven from the field,
which was occupied by our forces. Our forces
were too much exhausted to push matters, but
General PoPE stated he should do 90 In the
course ofthe morning Of Saturday, as soon 90
Fra JOHN PoRrER's corps should come up from
Manassas. The enemy was still in our front,
but badly used.
General PoPE states our loss in the battle Of
Fdcay at not less than eight thousand in kill
cd, wounded and missing. From the appear.
ance Of the field, the enemy's loss was two to
one Of ours. The battle was fought on the
identical battle field Of Bull Run.
