to mingle freely with the soldiers of both armies
and handy jests and coarse wit with them, and not
be subject to the ordinary gossip she is greatly de-
ceived. She says she is related to prominent faun

learn what has been said about her; but almost in
the same breath expresses the wish that she could
draw the rope around the necks Of some who are in

Indians on Maine Prairie.

On Thursday last the men Of Mr..
Fields family went to their home to har-
vest crops taking with them Miss Field
a daughter and sister to cook. In the al:
ternoon she went out alone to gather ha-
xcl nuts and was suddenly confronted by
an Indian who had crawlcd up until with
in rod of her in the brush. She fed
for the field where the men were at work
screaming and the Indian after her. She
being strong, active and feet of foot kept
before him some time but he caught her
dress which gave way in his grasp, aud
made pass ut her with his knife. She
threw up her arm to catch the blow and re-
ceivcd wound on the feshy part Of the
arm, not very deep cut Of over an inch
long. They soon came in sight Of and
quite near the men at work, when her
pursuer gave up the chase, turned and
fled.

Gen. Pope.

THIS officer appears to be making most
vigorous preparations for prosecuting the
Indian war; He expects to have 10000
troops in the field this winter and those
who have conversed with him have the
impression that he intends to exterminate
the vermin. lie proposes to build chain
Of forts along our entire frontier from ten
to fifteen miles apart; and, in short, ap-
pears to understand the importance Of his
mission and to be determined to fulfil it.
We have no doubt, but that in short
time i. will be perfectly safe for settlers to
return to their homes everywhere. Troops
are to be stationed at Sank Centre, Paynes-
Vile, Forest City, and all along the west
crn border, while horsemen will scour the
country, and as the leaves will soon fall
tho prairies can be burned, the beasts Of
prey can be smoked out and killed,
and each one allotted to his six feet home
stead on any soil where he may be found.

Sept. 18th, 1862.
DEAR Mrs. Almost cv-
cry day VIC hear Of charges being made
against our company for ''takiny' horses
and means Of subsistence without ally au-
thority whatcvc: or giving the proper
vouchcs for the same here state at the
rc4ues, OF Captain Freeman that these
charges are false as the people that make
them. We have not, in single instance,
impressed a horse without giving the re-
ccipts and wherever horses were being
used 10y the farmers and We could, We
have left them. In the expedition, as far
az stealing is concerned We have had the
fame without the gain,' aud would now
like to have it known that this company
known us the Northern Rangers have no
connection whatever with small band Of
men sailing under the orders Of A. J. Mel.
son or company Of "Home Guards COM
manded by Capt. Kamsdcll and stationed
ut Sank Centre where there are few wo-
men who will when necessary protect
them with :heir lives. The Qusr:crmas-
ter and myself wien it distinctly under
stood that We impress no horses without
giving receipts to the owners tor tue same
and the forage and subsistence necessary
for our use We purchase Of the legal own
ers. giving them the proper vouchers
therefor
For the acts Of Rev \. j. Nelson and
Captain Ramsdell, of Sank Centre, VIC are
not responsible, neither do we countenance
them. We are here TO protect property,
not to destroy, and our Captain has ex-
pressed bis disapprobation Of their ma
rauding movcm ents-st ciug no Indians
but plunderjng deserted houses. write
this as matter of justice to the men un-
der the command Of Capt. Freeman who
would not wilfuly wrong any one neither
suffer it to be done by any under his COM
unnd.
write by camp FIRE where there is
much confusion and must draw this to a
close hoping that you will zee that our
! company suffers no injustice in false re-
ports.

ranged for our young lady typos to spend
Sabbath with their friends expecting them
home on Sabbath evening, but they toe
were unavoldadly detained, and the lest
we can do is the slip We present this week
in lieu of paper.
Ts Our readers at distance we say that
this change in the appearance Of the
DEMOCRAT is but indicative and faint
illustration Of the change which has pass.
ed upon our community and State The
usual avocations Of the people have, in
great measure, been discontinued. Famil-
les have been leaving and returning,.-
We are constantly alternating between a
filling of security and iniment dauger.-
Some are leaving the State 6anely and
there are the leavetakings oftriends, the
disposition of furniture books and CLOTH
ing. So many different verbal accounts
to be head, weighed and judged, every
thing, in short is 50 thrown out Of the
usual order that it is almost impossible to
keep steady on with business like ours ;
but, unless some very serious cause of a.
larm, not now anticipated, should arise We
shall get out our paper regularly in fu-
ture.

Our Railroad.

The Directors of the Minnesota and Pa
cific Railroad met at St. Paul on Monday
and resolved to run their road up Main
Street, St. Anthony and to have running
there in two weeks, to extend the road to
Anoka this fall, and to St. Cloud next
season. Some of the St. Anthony people
oppose the Main Street route and may be
able to compel delay but if not the com
pany will doubtless carry out the pro-
gramme laid down.
On our late trip down We had the pleas
ure Of seeing the Iron horse on Minneso-
ia soil, snort'ng along before his tender,
baggage car and two passenger cars. 1t
was welcome sight, but the usefulness
Of the road is very much lessencd by its
St Paul terminus being so far from the
business center OF the city.

Our Issue this week.

Contrary to our expectations we were
able to get out full sheet, and give our
usual amount Of latter last week, and
hoped to continue to do 50. But We had
written for little daughter to come home,
and accounts of small bands Of Indians
made US fear that the stage might be at
tackled, aud Oh Saturday We started down
to meet her, found she was not on the way
and went on to Minneapolis. There it
became necessary We should 50 on Mon

Southern News.

Soon after uAr last issue the news from
the Grand army was quite magnificent.
Mcclellan had got in motion, had cartur-
ed 5000 rebels then $4,000 and had the
whole rebel army in a trap-that same
trap so cunpipgly laid for it, when per-
mitted to come within FIVE miles of Wash
ington, and to cross into Maryland. 1t
was just going to be cut to pieces or cap
tured and the war brought to speedy
and successful termination. Next thing
We hear is that "Pennsylvania is safe:
and every body delighted. The rebel ar
my has been driven from Maryland,
across the Potomac and Mcclellan is a he
70 once more, with fair prospect Of an
other eighteen months campaign on the
sacred soil keeping Washington safe; and
watching the rebels.
Our troops are crossing the Potomac, at
Frederic where the landing was disputed.
Gen. Barnes and Sykes Brigade had a
fight in which they lost about $50 men
and held their ground on the Virginia
shore. The loss Of the enemy was thought
to be heavy.
Every paper for some weeks has III
formed US that the "rebel army is demon
allied and dispensing" but it appears to
agree with them, for they fight as we'll as
ever. On the goth a whole brigade Of
rebels was captured.
"Impcrtant news may be expected from
McClellan's army in day or two" i. Q

for all the arms and ammunition on board
Of our train, and we found among the
treaty goods ST double Dbl. shot guns
which were distributed among the citizens
and no doubt they were the means of saw
ing the post from falling into the hands
Of the indians. Capt. Smith told me this
morning that if it had not been for the
citizens the post would no doubt have now
been in their hands, Why does not some
one come up and let US know the state Of
affairs below? We expect reinforcements
from there every day.

Sent Away.

The company Of Infantry 70 be station
ca Ut st. Cloud arrived on Friday night
t:aytcd, with thirty Of our citizens, on
1louday afternoon for Richmond where
the Indians had made an attack early that
morning, got back to st. Cloud Tuesday
night about nine o'clock, just as the stage
got IN with dispatches from Gen. Pope
ordering them to proceed, Immediately
back to Sank Centre. 1t is Capt McCoys
company who, it will be remembered pass
ed through here on the 9Th en- route for
tauk Centre or Fort Abcrcrombie, if be
thought he dare proceed to that point
lie went as far as Sank Centre and re-
manned there until the 18th when he was
ordered back to st. Cloud, from whence
he now goes to Sank Centre.
This leaves St. Cloud still without any
garrison for her forts, any protection for
her property; and many Of the people
who have returned under the assurance Of
the Governor that garrison would be sta
.ioucd here, arc now ready to Ay again on
Any ru,nor. 1t ~ now found that the
passage Of our troops through any portion
Of country, without finding an Indian, is
no proc: whatever that no Indians were
there Richmond is on the direct route
between this and Sank Centre, and but
thirty miles from st. Cloud. Yet Rich
moud was attacked by Indians the second
day after McCoy's Company had camped
there.
Gen. Pope las certainly made mis-
take in leaving this point unguarded.--
There is more here to tempt the cupidity
Of the Indians than at any point north Of
St. Paul. There u very large amount
Of merchandise and tho indians believe
that the treaty goods are here. Many Of
tho back settlers have brought their
goods here. There ars no field pieces t<
drive them back. No forts 10 dispute
their, entrance into the town. Our fort
are simply places to protect the lives o
