GaIIantrr Of the Ohio Bors.

All the accounts Of the battle of South
Mountain on Sunday pay the highest tri
butte to the gallant conduct of General
COx's Ohio troops. Colonel Crook Of the
Ohio 86th, was captured and pnrOled. The
Tribute report says:
About this time the division Of General
Cox was sent to the left and supported by
General Wilcox division. The First Pro
visiOnal Brigade, Of Cox's division, Colo
mel E. P. Seammon, were about the first
that met the enemy. As our meni ad
vaneed the enemy charged upon them
They were two brigades of North Carolina
troops. Our men stood firm to receive
them; but the enemy halted before the
line Of bayonets and seemed uncertain what
to do. Our soldiers were now ordered to
charge the rebels, and springing forward,
large numbers Of the enemy were bayo-
neted, and, unable TO stand the rushing
charge, fell back in confusion. Taeir left
was turned and sixteen prisoners cap
tured in this, one of the most brilliant
charges ever made.
And now reinforcements arrive, and
our men, elated with success, press bravely
forward, driving the enemy with great
loss, and compelling their two batteries of
twelve pieces to fall back to prevent their
being captured The battle at this time (3
o'clock, P. n, was at its hight, reaching
a distance of eight miles in length. Re-
inforcements we're ra,idly sent to each
point necessary, and the enemy, in every
single case 10 my certain knowledge. were
and compelled to fall back Near
ly a thousand prisoners fellinto our hands.
By one brilliant charge over two hundred
prisoners were captured. Il appears that
one of the North Carolina brigades had
been badly cut up by some Ohio regiments
the latter also suffering severely when,
probably burning with revenge, while their
foes were engaged with other Rebel regi-
nents, they silently crept forward to a
stone wall, the other side of which the !
lkirmish was going on, and opened gall

KS Ezesllsney, GovsrRoT Of Minnesota:
We, the undersigned, chiefs Of the Chip.
pewss Of Lake Superior, do petition
through you, to the President Of the United
States, the Great Father, as hereinafter
set forth:
Ny father, we have heard, and do hear
every day, through our children, the half
breeds, who are more enlightened than we
are that you are in trouble; that you have
been in trouble with your own people
and that they are very stfong. We hear
that one Of your red children has taken
up the knife and tomahaWk against you :
that they have Killed and murdered both
men, women and children. They have de-
stroyed everything they could lay their
hands on. They are blind they do not
appreciate your kindness. The Great
Spirit looks down on that people with ven
geanes. We raise the spirit of the Chip
pewa enemies to avenge the wrongs perpe-
trated on their white brethren.
by father, you know that he is our enc
my, therefore we beg that you give US a
chance to show you that we are your
friends aud wish to serve yOu-to help
you to preserve peace and tranquility
among your children. We are willing to
60 and help you to put down the evil spirit
ofmy enemy. Give US an opportunity
to show you that we are loyal to the great
father and his laws, and that we appreciate
his kindness towards us.
We think that our great father has
enough to 90 down South for his soldiers
let him send them down there, and send
us TO fight our red enemy. We are ready
n l.,
60. We are willing TO obey orders aud be
led BY a white captain, but on the battle
held we want our own captains, and want
TO hight in our own mode Of fighting. Pay
our expenses and provide for our families
while we are gone. We also wish to raise
our men in our own way, as we have been
accustomed 80 raise men for a war par
ty. We also think that il would be just
and right if we should whip them, that
their annuities should be paid to those that
would go and fight.
My father,give US your consent, and we
will get the Lake Superior Chippewas,
with our ihalf-breed children, to rise en-
mssse to your help. Provide US with arms
and ammunition, and we are ready. My
father, the door is opened for me to help
you, shut 1t not again in my face. We are
willing to go. Our fathers have drove
them from this country, and if you had
not come between Us we would have chased
him still farther. Our young men are
anxious to go and show you that we are
your friends. We know well that we can
not do and drill like your soldiers, because
we do not understand each other-our
talk is different We would offer you our
services as well to fight your own people
down here, were it not for that, but send
US against our own color and we can fight.
You will please to answer and address to

A full-grown rabbit had hid itself away
in the copse of fence which separated two
fields near the centre, and most exposed
portion Of the battle ground. Rabbits are
wont to spend the day almost motionless.
and in seeming dreamy meditation. This
one could have had but little thought-if
rabbits think-when choosing its place of
retreat at early dawn, that ere it was even
tide there would be such an unwonted and
ruthless disturbance.
During all the preparation for battle
made around its lair throughout the fore
noon, 1t nevertheless remained quiet. Ear
ly, however, in the afternoon, when the
rage Of battle had fairly begun, and shot
and shell we're falling thick and fast in all
directions, shell ehanced to burst so near
Mr.. Rabbits hiding place that he evidently
considered it unsafe to tarry longer. So,
frightened almost TO death, out he springs
into The open field, and ran hither and
thither in the vain hope Of finding a safe
retreat. Whichever way it ran, cannons
were laundering out their smoke and fire,
regiments ofmen we're advancing or chang
ing position, horses galloping here and
there, shells bursting, and solid shot tear
ing up the ground. Sometimes it would
squat down and lie perfectly still, when
some new and sudden danger would again
start it into motion. Once more it would
stop and raise itself as high as possible on
its hind legs, and look all round for some
place of possible retreat.
At length that part of the field seemed
open which lay in the direction opposite
from where the battle ragged most fereely.
Thither it accordingly ran with all it's re-
naming speed. UnobserTed by it. how
ever, regiment was in that direction
held IN reserve, and like Wellington's at
Waterloo was lying fat on the ground in
order to escape the flying bullets. Ere the
rabbit seemed aware, il had jumped into
the midst of these men It could 20 no
further, but presently nestled down beside
a soldier, and tried to hide itself under his
arm. As the man spread the skirt of his
coat over the trembling fugitive, in order
TO insure 1t all the protection in his power
to bestow, he no doubt feelingly remem-
bered how much he himself then needed
some higher protection, under the shadow
Of whose arm might be hidden his own de-
fenceless head from the fast multiplying
missiles Of death scattered in all directions.
1t was not long, however, before the reg
lment was ordered up and forward From
the protection and safety granted, the tim
ID creature had evidently acquired conf
dence IN man-as the boys are wont 20 say,
" had been tanned" As the regiment NOV
ed forward to the front Of the battle, it
hoped along, tame, seemingly, as a kit
ten, close at the feet of the soldier who had
bestowed the needed protection Wher-
ever the regiment went, during all the re-
naming part of that bloody and terrible
battle, the rabbit kept close beside its new
friend. When night came on, and the
rage Of battle had ceased, it finally, unmo-
Tested and quietly, hoped away, in order
to ind sOne one Of its old and familiar
haunts

INDIAN MATTERS.

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 49,
The st. Paul Pioneer and Democrat of
the 10th inst, contains letter from Little
Crow, Chief of Sioux, to Colonel Sibley, in
which be says he wants to know in what
way he can make peace for his people
lie also says that white prisoners in his
possession are treated as well as their own
people.
Letters from Sioux chiefs Wabasha and
Taopi are of friendly character, and de-
nounce Little Crow as the cause of trou-
bles.
1t is evident that the Sioux are much di-
vided, and quarreling amongst themselves.
Colonel Sibley requests Little Crow to
give up the prisoners first, and tells Waba-
sha and Taopi that he will treat with them
and their friend Open Day, and adds am

to oppose my march, and to punish those

FROaL BALTIMORE.

BALTIMORE, Sept. l9
A gentleman who left the battlefield at
9 o'clock Wednesday night confirms the
( statement of the reporter Of the Associate
( Press in every particular. He says that
4 our forces occupied the position chosen by
the enemy at the commencement Of the
! battle, and that the rebels were driven
! back mile and half at all points, except
on the extreme right, which they still hold
atthe close of the day.
Our informant was all day within one
hundred yards of Mcclellan, and says that
the results of the day were regarded bv
him and his Staff as a glorious victory,
though not a final one. There was no fall
tering at any point of the line Of our
whole army. Our soldiers we're exultant
at the result of the previous days fight,
and Mcclellan was in the highest spirits.
The opinion of Mcclellan and those
around him was that the final result would
depend on who got assistance first. Our in
tormant says that nothing had been heard
on the field of the capture of Longstreet
or the killing of Hill, and that there is no
truth in either report.
2000 more reinforcements we're expected
to arrive on the field yesterday from Har-
risburg. Our informant thinks the loss of
the rebels is fully equal to ours.
The gentleman who furnishes US with
the foregoing intelligence, is one of our
most respectable and intelligent citizens,
and he says that while the battle Of
Wednesday was not a decisive one, it was
q contest in which all the advantages we're
with Mcclellan, who occupied the field of
battle at the close of the day.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. I9.
The Inquirer has a special dispatch from
Baltimore, which more than confirms yes-
terdays good news Mcclellan on We'd
nesday gave the rebels four hours to sur
render. They refused, and he went at
them again, and the ground was literally
piled with rebels killed and wounded.
They were completely invested and sur
rounded on all sides, and there was not the
least possibility or chance of escaping ut
ter annihilation.
Mcclellan is only waiting his dispatch
to announce the complete success OF his
army.
This news was brought by an officer ac-
companying the body of a New-York Colo
mel, and is reliable.

The bark Victoria sailed for Liverpool,
carrying 1900 sacks wheat. Business

house, failed to-day for $4,000. Loss
pretty generally distributed among San
Francisco merchants.
The news Of the recent Federal victories
produces unbounded joy here.
The subscription for the relief of wound-
ed soldiers in San Francisco alone amounts
to about 100000, and will probably reach
quarter Of million within O week.
a new line of stages has commenced
running between San Bannerdine and the
recently discovered Colorado Mines, to ac-
