now that Ramsey's pickets were in ad-
vance of US on the north, we determined
to take to the east, down the White river
and leaving our encampment about one
hour before day. We marched about forty
miles 10 road that bore north, and led
to town by the name of Galena, in
Missouri. Taking this road we passed on
about ten miles further, and bivouaced in
deep wooded hollow, little distance
from the road. Early the next morning
we resumed our march and by | o'clock
that day were in a union settlement at Ii
lot creek, five miles south Of Galena; here
we were made welcome to forage for our
horses, and food for ourselves; this, 10
men who had subsisted on roast corn for
the past three days, was not in the least
unwelcome. Capt Hart now went for
ward to the federal pickets, but two miles
in advance, and disclosed to them our true
character; he was then taken into the
town and an escort sent back, bearing the
United States Flag which met us about
two miles out, and conducted us into the
town. On first seeing the stars and stripes
that glorions ensign of our great republic,
the Joy Of our little band broke forth in
ore tremendous Texas yell; then went up
three as hearty cheers as were ever given
for the flag of our union, and three for its
noble defender Abraham Lincoln; all
seemed to forget their troubles and their
ailments, and joined in the general glee of
the occasion; for my own part, though
now reduced to SHELTON by the past three
months hardships, and panied accordingly
by lacerated swollen ankles, suddenly for
got my pains and infrmities and felt for
the time inspired with new life; my horse
too, though so tender-footed that it seem
ed'impossible to get him along, seemed as
the boys expressed it, proud Of bis master
and three times broke ranks and pranced
and galloped about like fresh charger on
muster day. We were now within forty
miles Of Springfield, the headquarters Of
Of the federal army and the ba nee Of our
journey YVES leisurely performed through

ed us with ACCLAIM. tons ofjoy and extend

Battles Of COrinth.

A couple Of officers belonging to the
Minnesota Fourth, wounded in the lrte
battles at Corinth, passed through the
city yesterday on their way home.
1t IS represented that the rebel forces
were in condition of extreme destitation
both of food and clothing. They had
been subsisting on corn alone, which they
plucked from the fields roasted and ate, SO
Price told them there were plenty at
Corinth, and if they did not want to
starve they must take it. This led to
the attack on Corinth. Rosencrans per
mitted the rebels to come into the very
heart Of the village before attempting to
repulse them. One brigade some eleven
hundred strong made au attack on bat
terry in the public square, and were driven
back with nine hundred of the number
killed and wounded.
The attack was repealed, and Rosen-
Grams pursued the enemy, who retreated,
crossing the Hatchie River Ord and
lIur.but, located day and half march
north west of Corinth, on the Mobile and
Ohio Road, marched Immediately to inter.
cant the rebel retreat, and cut it off few
miles from where it crossed the river.
Here the second battle occurred, and
the rebels were driven back five or SIX
miles, recrossing the Hatchie toward Cor
nth. This brought them between Rosen,
Grams ON the east, and Hurbut and Ord
on the west, when tather desperate bat
tie ensued. The rebels were again repuls-
ell. and took the MY open way left them
in retreat, directly south. Both armies
Joined forces in pursuit, and the slaughter
Of the rebels by our artillery and cavalry
i represented to have been terrible, the
road along which they fled being piled
With the dead.
These officers express the opiaion that
he rebel loss in killed and wounded is at
least ten thousand, and ours cannot be less
than four thousand. The prisoners taken
were the picture Of starvation. and desliin-
ton. and seemed to dread nothing so much
as the danger Of being released again. p
depend on their old sources OF livelihood.
The chances Of being sent north rs
prisoners seemed to inspIrit them very
much.

Gen. Rosccrans.

Gen. Rosecrans whose brilliant victory
at Corinth has sent thrill OF delight
through the land, is, of all men in the ar
my, one Of the most radical ia bis anti
Slavery notions. A graduate Of West
Point, he has emancipated himselffrom the
influences Of the pro-slayery doctrines Of that
concern. A devote Catholic, he has gone
back from bis humanitarian views to the
teachings of the Church at a time when
the hierarchy was ahead of the civil GOV.
ernments ID all that related to the progress
Of the race. A SO dier in whome military
skill and profound sympathy with the I'm
ion cause are united, he has gone into the
field to DO or to die. 1t was to be expected
that he would fight, and that fighting he
would win. He has not disappointed the
hopes Of those who hoped the most from
him. Well done Rosecrans Would that
the earn9stness and singleness Of purpose
with which you are inspired were shared by
all your supeliors ID rank. The war would
soon come to an end.

Maryland Troubles.

A gentleman who was brought up near
Frederick City, Maryland, but removed to
thi, county some years ago, handed US a
letter last week from his father, with per-
mission to read and copy SO much as we
like. Here is part Of the letter;
clearing there was no danger, We went
TO. see the rebels while they held possess
sion of Frederick, your mother, sister Jane,
George and myself; should think there
we're $4,000 of them, all the raggedest,
dirtiest, profanest set we ever saw. The
Yankees held Frederick year ago, but
they were different people, so nice, well
behaved, polite and gentemanly. The
Yankees were never charged with stealing
or insulting anybody. The rebels take all
they wanted from country people, but
their officers kept them from stealing in
the city. We rode round among them for
half the day, but did not go very near
them, as they used such foul language.
/ have sympathized with the South in
this war; and at first hoped they would,
conquer; but | have changed my mind,
for it would be dangerous to live in gov
eminent of such people. Believe me
son, there are but few Maryland people
that now favor jeff. Davis since they have
seen his soldiers, said to be the ch oico of
his army.
"There is much talk of making Mary
land free state; think large majority
are in favor Of it now, and will go with
President Lincoln. If slavery has made
people SO crazy and mad, can't see but
We had better do away with it. Affairs
can't be made any worse by it and can't
see but better, as then we would all be
Of one mind north and south. Crancy,
Jewett, Uncle Nolay, Peters and Warwell,
all shareholders are going to vote Mary
land free State. The BerwelPs will OPP
pose it, but they are rebels; some Of them
are in the rebel army; they are calling
us abolitionists but that SANDER can't
work. John Warner and bis two sons are
in the union army; the rebel Berwells
charge them with stealing negroes, but this
is done to defame their character. The
Union and emancipation candidates will be
elected this year by heavy majorities."

CAMP FREMONT, NEAR SPRINGFIELD MO-
Sept 2Sth lsO-.
Mr.. Cover We reached our present
encanpment on the gath inst, having been
eight days on the march rom Rola, dis
tance 135 miles. Water very scarce the
first half our Journey, and poor quality
near Springfield it became more plenty.
The clear streams and gushing springs re-
minded US Of the home we left behind IN
the good Badger state. The town OF
Springfield bears considerable resemblance
to Lancaster in situation and country I'M
nediatelv surrounding it, bnt is a some
what LARGER place and contains several fine
public buildings. Everything here is I'M
der military rule. All stores and business
places are closed by 8 o'clock; extensive
Notifications are being erected at different
places around the city, upon which large
number of rebel prisoners are at work.
The site of our camp is uPon what was
once a fine farm, which, the rebels say. IS
owned .by the rebel Gen. Price. The peo-
ple here have the highest coniidenceln
Generals Sigel and Fremont, especially the
former, and we frequently hear the wish
expressed that he was at the head OF atfIrs
in this department again. This country
if good for nothing else, is hard to beat Tor
fruit. Good apples, peaches and Wild
grapes abound in great profusion.
Our brigade is composed OF the 2oth
Wisconsin, the 9th Illinois, and 18th and
goth Iowa. beng commanded by Brig
Gen Frank Heron of Iowa, who won
laureIs at Pea Rllge. As regards the
health Of troops there is not much sick
ness of formidable kind, although there
are hundreds unfit for duty. Our FegI-
ment numbers about $50 men; when we
left Madison II numbered 1920. Bat there
have been but few deaths. am not GER

with this immense force il of course, a
matter Of mere conjecture, but it is not
unlikely that some day soon the ms will

From the dispatches WHICH Ger. Pope
received from Gen. Silly yesterday, it APP
pears that the Indian war, SO FAR as the
Lower Sioux are concerned, il nearly ter
minated. With the exception Of scarcely
half-a-dozen who still remain with Little
Grow, the entire force belonging to the low
err bands have surrendered to Gen. Sib-
lev, and lie has, it is believed upwards Of 2,
600 prisoners.
A portions Of the Sissitons under Sleepy
Ewes, have gone off 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
ers places near the Iowa line. A force Of
mounted men are already in pursuit OF,
and no doubt capture these fellows; and
the Yanktons, or cut heads, who have
mixed up in these affilirs, and who have
more particularly been concerned in the
attack on Fort Abercrombie, and the muir
ders on Red River, will be promptly pur-
sued and properly punished.
This will be the work Of but very short
time, and we may all soon rejoice that one
Of the most horrible wars that the world
has ever witnessed, is about terminated.

Gen. Mitchell to bis Officers.

Shortly after bis arrival at Por, Royal,
South Carolina, and assuming his new
command, Gen. Mitchell sent for his regi-
mental commanders, and made them an
address, IN the course of which, the fol-
lowing pregnant pass lges appear;
We must destroy slavery or il will con-
quer us. accept the issue. | believe
that all the hopes of humanity for a thous-
and years to come are involved in this
struggle. Rather than that this govern
ment should be oyerthrown, am ready
not only to see slavery exterminated, but
also have every negro in these Southern
States destroyed-an more, [ am ready
to see every white man in these rebel
States destroyed also. We must realize
the state of affairs. We have not done so
hitherto. / hear that there has been some
criticism # the course adopted by my pre-
decessor IN TINS department, N regard TO
the negro population. There has been
some talking about eide, lousy negroes"
etc. The time for such talk has passed.
We must use the negro. At the West we
have protected whole tracts of corn and
cotton--property Of rebels-protected-
them better than their troops would have
done, and then have chased out and left
them for the enemy to gather. There can
be no more Of that. If we can carr on
these plantations here, by the labor of
the negroes, and make it profitable, we
must do so, and benefit ourselves at their
expense.
