EDITOR Observation-Disclosures arc so
petted and privileged nova days that
they seem scarcely to know where to lin
it their demands for favors from the stay
at-home public; but find q fragment Of
my conscience remaining, and it will not
permit me continually to receive your paper
without paying the printer. Not having
any wheat, oats, corn, -four, wood, good
butter, or eggs to spare, or any thing else
that is likely to be Of use to the DEMO-
Graf except coin, herewith enclose a
specimen of the latter, hoping thereby to
secure continuation of its welcome Wis
its, and keep my credit good meanwhile
The paper sent to my home in Massachu-
setts, and from thence forwarded via
Washington, b. c., has followed me
through all the movements of the army
of the Potomac, and come to hand with
commendablc regularity; thus disprov-
ing the assertions Of some oc Benefits
correspondents, that 'the Herald is the
only paper to be had in the army"
Perhaps, now that I have my pen in
motion, you will expect me to give you a
detailed account Of all our movements
and adventures since leaving Minnesota
just one year ago, but shall do no such
thing. There are already SO many writ
ters from the army that my story would on
ly add to the confusion Of conflicting
statements, without facilitating the task
of cleaning the truth the Babel Of contra.
dictions. I will only say that the I'd In
fanny has proven to the country that the
great confidence rcposed in the Regulars
was founded upon reliable basis,-that
in common with the whole army our resi-
ment is diminished in number by the loss
Of many gallant comrade, bat the vete'
ran remnant is as ready and willing to
meet the enemy as ever.
Sundry scribblers have taken pains to
represent to the public that tie army is
in disorganized and dcmoralized condi-
ton, Or that it Was so GU and after our ar
rival at this place. So far as am CON-
pe,ent to judge such was not the case
The prying enemy, who on the Sd inst,
sought to feel our strength at this place,
found as bold and determined front as
We showed him at Gaines Mill just one
week before and after losing battery
Of field guns, he thought it prudent to re.
tire from this neighborhood, and "all quiet
along the lines" is the unchanging legend
We now await a forward movement,
which may, or may not be deferred till
the arrival of more reiuforcements. In
either case we are ready

six dollars in favor of Minnesota drovers
over those importing via Detroit. The
Water Witch will land sheep on Quebec

troit, for seventy-6ye cents each, and no
doubt less rate for large number Capt.

Death of Robert Gibbehs.

Our citizens will learn with sorrow that
ROBERT GIBBENs Of this city is dead. He
was member OF the Cullen Cavalry Guard,
and in the battle of Birch Coolie, where he
was fatally wounded, and died on Saturday
morning at Fort Ridgley. He fell while
gallantly fighting the savage foe, and the
testimony of bis fellow members Of the
Guard give the fullest assurance of the
manly part he acted in that conflict. Mr.
G1BBENs was about fifty years of age, and
his death takes from devoted wife and five
children their only earthly protector. He
was constant member of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, devoted to bis family,
active in the discharge of all his duties,
cheerful and courteous towards every one,
combining qualities that drew to him the
esteem of all who knew him.
He came to st. Paul from New York
city about six years ago, and engaged in
staging, mail contracting, and in the erec-
ton OF Touring mill, as well as other en-
terprises. He sent two sons into the war
to battle for the Union, and when sudden
emergency arose nearer home, be Joined the
cavalry company and died the soldiers bon

BAYFIELD,, September 3. 1862.
Ny DEAR Brother Your letters are re-
ceived. l regret having left St. Paul.
Could my services have been of the least
benefit to the State, they would have been
cheerfully given. Now, as MIR. Doble's
teams are all on the other end of the route,
II is impossible for me to 60 overland, ard
as to going the other way, it is out of the
question, as there has not been a boat here
since my arrival, and there is no certainty
OF one being here in time for me to leave to
do any good. Here may be of service.
General Webb is very active, and l think
is taking such measures as will prevent an
outbreak. For day Or two all was doubt
ful but he has laborei day and night, and
WILSON quiet every apprehension Of dan ,er.
This will go in the morning, carried by O
haltbreed, nd I hope will get through l
am pleased to learn that Commissioner Dole
and Superintendent Thompson have gone to

hope the Commissioner will come over here
General Webb has between four and five
thousand Indians within his agency.

Apple cation to Government for an Or.
ganized Cavalry Regiment.

Hon. MORTON s. WILKINSON started Nom
day evening direct for Washington to
make application in person on behalf of the
people of the State, to the Government, for
a Cavalry Regiment and Battery of Light
Artillery now in service in the Army,
and thoroughly drilled, to be sent at
once to the State for service against the
Indians and in the event of the Govern
ment granting the requisition, the State
would send out one or two regiments of the
infantry now in the service here.
If the Government should consider this
application favorably, the cavalry force
might be on the frontier within twenty
days, prepared for offensive operations.
while if we are obliged to wait for our own
Cavalry to be organized and drilled, three
months would be a short time in which to
be prepared for operation.
Mr.. WILKINSON is member of the Com
mittee On Indian Affairs and going direct
from the scene of trouble to Washington,
can place the subject in such a light as will
command the attention of the Government
at once.

The Commissioner, Superintendent, and
suite, with the commanding officer, and
others, left here this morning for the Agen-
cy. Captain Horizons cavalry and Captain
Burt's company of infantry, moved from
the Lake to the Agency last evening.
Hole-in. the-Day did not give satisfac-
tory answer yesterday, and said when they
returned his revolving rifle, be would meet
the Commissioner. The Commissioner in
tends, as we understand, to promise an in
vestigation of their complaints, and to de-
mand those who have committed depreda.
lions to be delivered up for punishment.
WEDNESDAY EVENING, Sept. 8, 7aP.M.
The Commissioner and all the gentlemen
have returned, leaving one company at
Grow Wing and the other at the Agency.
The Indians agree to meet the Commissioner
at Crow Wing, for a 'ouncil, on Friday
morning, the 9Th. Sending up the troops
has worked like magic.
A Leech Lake Indian, who opposed the
Council, had his face badly cut by one of
the peace party this morning. So, you
see, this part of the world looks brighter.
The Indians say they wish those who have
committed depredations to be punished.
