What Gen. wilcox Says.

Gen. Wilcox was captured at the bat
tie Of Bulls Run, in July 1861, and with
Col. Corcoran, was confined in filthy.
dark and unhealthy prison at Richmond
until exchanged few weeks since. He
was then a Colonel \ very large re
ctption was given him on his return
home to Detroit, on the 9th ult, and
in speech on the occasion, he said;
"The South is fighting for the most
absolute despotism on the face Of the
carth-freedom of speech freedom of the
press, and even freedom of thought
through the secret ballot is entirely and
will always be denied They hate free
government, they hate free schools, col
legcs and institutions of learning, and
they intend to wage an eternal warfare
against them all The desire strong
government iron clad government

scum Of creation, Southern chivalry. l

with these men and learned their views

issue we Democrats can grasp and join
hands with the abolitionists. This war
is crushing slavery, and will continue to
crush it until its vitality is gone; and l
cry amen! go for the President and
a killing policy. He is right and ! will
sta:.d by him so long as he carries the
flag. Ispoke these sentiments in Wash
ington, and the senators and represen.
tatives told me that, that was lust
what the people wanted. Now, my
friends. let us close the books for the past
year, forget all and open new books for
the new year, and go at them with a
will-wi,h gunpowder and shot-and
this wretched nnholy rebellion will be
crushed, and its authors consigned to
death and infamy.
Let us not underrate their power
They can bring one millon-yes | 400
900 men in the field. They take all
from fifteen to fifty five, and then each
regiment is provided with from seventy
five to one hundred negroes, which ag

better organized and better drilled than
our own: They keep their regiments
full, and thereby make 4 great gain
over us. When one dies o. is killed
another is drafted and put in his place.

woods.
last Monday morning at Bristol
Station 5 locomotives & 14s cara, with a
large quantity Of ammunition and stores
were destroyed by orders Of Gen. Pope
to prevent their falling into the hands
of the rebels. The reports are also Gen.
Banks destroyed at Bristow station, his

and three trains ofcars.
These tworeports may have reference
to the same.
According to the reports Of prisoners,
the enemy's whole force is now snrroan-
ded by our army, greatly superior in
numbers, and that most desperate
battle will be fought if they are not all
taken.

Confederate army. We were defeated,
with loss oflOO killed and ESQ woun-
ded, Gen. Nelson being severely woun-
ded. Our troops were ehrown into dis
order, and dispatch from Gen. Cruft

The Indian Murders In NllnncsO-
From the st. Paul Press.

From the st. Paul Press.
EXAGGERATED RuMOHs AND REPORTS.
The whole number Of Indians in
this State-men, women and children.
is $4,000, Of which about 5000 are
Chippcwas, $500 are Winnebagoes, and
1900 arc Sioux. The latter only are
concerned in the recent rising. The
whole number of warriors-that il, Of
adult, able bodied malcs---which the
Sioux Indians Of western Minnesota can
raise is certainly not more than 500.
Surprising them to be reinforced by the
Missouri, Sioux, Yanktonna,s and Cut
heads, the whole number of warriors
which they can raise this side Of the
Missouri is not over 500 more. So
that there cannot be more than 1000
actually in arms. If the Sioux, Chip.
pewa and Winnebago nations should
unite in IN attack upon our settlements,
they could not, together, raise force
fmorc than 5000. But any concert be
tween these tribes is improbable, and
it such q concert were attempted
they could not in any event put into the
combination force Of more than 5000
warriors.
From this it will be seen that the real
danger from the Indians does not arise
from their numbers, hut from tl,eil SUBJ
tie and sknlking mode Of warfare. But

that our eastern forces must be combin-

rebellion.
