ABERCRONIBIE SAFE!
Indians Gone!
THEY FOUGHT BRAVELY.

On Sabbath night Mr.. B'rchcncau, who
was guide to the gold diSyer's escort which
passed through by the Saskatchewan route
to the gold fields Of British America, re-
turned and brought news Of the safety Of
Abercrombic As this fort has tecn Civ
en- up as lost, by most people here, the
feeling Of relief is very great, but We fear
tina. but few remember to give gratitude
where atone it is due, viz. to Hin who
turned aside the savagcs. Had they con-
,;nued their attacks not all the brave re-
s;stancc Of the little garrison could have
saved it.
Mr.. Birchencau brought the following
letters which we are permitted to publish.
FsRr ABERCKoMB1E, D. T..
Sept. 18th, 1862. !
nc. BURBANK, Eso.-Dr. Sir i: We
are just getting over the Indian excite
ment. We have thrown upa barricade
all round the barracks, and put the women
and children in them, and l think that
we can now defend ourselves against the
whole Sioux nation The Indians made
two attacks upon us, they were brave men,
and fought like so many incarnate devils
They came up in front Of the howitzers
and received the Gve like veteran soldiers
We must have killed great number o.
them, though they carried Of all their
, dead but three bodies. We had four men
killed, and FIVE wounded.
| Mr.. Lulrs family arc here, all very we'll.
The part Of the Fort where VIC lived, VIC
bad to abandon. The Indians came into
the houses aud broke up every thing
that was left. They burnt up everything
at Harris 4 Bently's, Hills & Ramsdell
Benefits aud all the buildings on Stones
Farm. They burnt up all the hay, aud
thousand dollars worth Of oats for II. l. B
I presume they burnt the house at Brock
iuridge as we saw . great smoke in tha
direction.

may be found dead hogs and turkeys that
have no doubt been killed to-day. The house
at which We are encamped was on fire and was
put out by party in advance Of us. Around
us We can see many fires burning mostly hay
stacks. There has been no one killed TO my

From gentlemen who went up with the
expedition, We learn that Is Of Richmond
Hon Guard pursued the Indians in the
morning, and got near enough to count 10,
s in one party and 4 in another but
fearing larger force in ambush they did
not push forward to make an attack
Between Richmond and Paynesville, the
dwellings, Of Mcssrs. Holi}er, Baytcnger,
Watenburg, Schafer, Emdc and two 9TH
ers, names not learned, were burned. At
Paynesvil]e the homes Of Messrs. Braen,
Payne, Twitchell, Peasc, Darnell, Chiss-

After the previous buroinss this leaves
but two houses in Poynesvillc, both Of
which belong to Mr.. Bennett.
All the outhouscs were burned, and
most Of the hay stacks, but only two stacks
Of grain we're destroyed, which would ap-
pear to indicate that they have not given
! up the idea Of having possession Of the

New YORK, Oct. o. Capt. Smith of the
schooner Elmore, which was burned by the reb.
els on the Potomac river a short time since, and
taken to Richmond, where he was released, has
arrived here. lie reports while on the way
down the James river, he saw the MerrimacNo.
>, with stem up. He could rot see the entire
vessel only t he forward part Of her, but is con-
hdent that she is near completion The frames
of two ther iron clads are in forward state,
and there are two gunboats in the basin. They
are, however, small affairs.
A Cenlreville correspondent states that away
from the track of the two armies the crops are
rs large and the farmers are as rosperOus to all
outward appearance as they were before the re-
bellion. The hills are covered with cattle, and
stacks of hay and fodder are everywhere CON
spicuous. Large l0cks of sheep browse on the
side bills and woods and the farm yards are
filled with SWINE. Corn, wheat and cats ill
their granaries to OVERLOOKING, and instead OF
there beingany indication Of the people starving,
they are on the contrary sleek and fat and talk
treason badly.
In one valley alone an immense crop of meat
and cereals has been and is now being raised for
the rebel army, and the Union army command
ers are as tender about its being disturbed as
they would be if it were located in New York.
Within a few weeks all these supplies will be
removed to Richmond.
Gen. Lee, it is we'll understood here, is only
holding out at Winchester until he can send
south the immense products of the Shenandoah
Valley and its sister valleys, then he will have
no further use fer his present position.
For the last few weeks rebel supply trains
have been running regularly and full towards
Richmond A portion of the army could be
proftaby, and should at once be employed in
gathering all the grain, cattle and horses within
reach.

The SITUATION AT NAsHvILLE.-Advices
from Nashville are to the 18th inst, at which
time there was no rebel force near the city ex-
cept small bands of guerrillas Nevertheless
Gen. Negley was strongly under the impression
that it was military necessity that Nashville
should be evacuated but Governor Andy John
son not being military man, could not see it
and opposed it successfully vowing that he
would hold the place as long as there was a man
to defend it, or one stone standing upon another
in the Capitol house of the State. The Union
people were tlmid and aDxiously desiring rise
in the river, that gunDoats might be sent foI
the protection of the city.
