Spirit of the Rebel Press.

corhlnS OF some oltter walls OF wrath by
the rebel newspapers. The Richmond
Examiner of Aug, IS says:
The meeting of Congress to-day i,
most opportune. If Providence had or.
dered it with an eye single to the good
of the Contederacy, it would have desin.
mated the very period which has been
chosen for the occasion.
If members have come in the spirit
which should actuate them, and shall en-
ter at once upon the important business
demanding their attention, their names
will be honored for generations to come
but if they have met in the selfish spirit
of the modern politician, each man to
vote himself into brigadier-generalship,
a judgeship, or some fat office at the dis
posal Of the men in place, it were much
better that Congress would adjourn at
once, and that the grave business of pub
lie defense should be left to the unsehsh-
ness, honesty, patriotism and energy of
the State governments.
+ The Confederate Legislature Is con
] fronted at the threshold Of its proceedings
by no less fact than the rapid recruiting
|of six hundred thousand troops by the
public enemy, to be used, in addition to
those already invading the country,
avowedIy for its impoyerishment, subju-
CATION and ensayement. To repel this
formidable power it has in the field less
than three hundred thousand effective
men and measures must at once be TAX
en- to meet this exigent state OF affairs.
Unfavorable as this exhibit may be as
to the land forces, the case is much worse
with respect to operations upon tie wa
ter Congress has been liberal in appro-
priations for that branch Of tie service
and the moneys which it has bestowed

Indian Massacres in Minnesota.
ENTIRE FAMILIES MURDERED.
St. Paul, MINI, Aug. %.

Parties from the Minnesota rive
. reached here last night. They state tina
s the scouts estimate the number Of whites
: already killed by the Sioux at 500. This
: opinion is based on the number of bodie!
discovered strewed along the road and by
traces of blood 1t is believed that al
the missionaries have been killed. The
civilized Indians exceed their savage
brothers in atrocities. Mr.. Premier, al
= interpreter, who has spent most Of his
life among the Indians, volunteered to &C
alone, trusting to his knowledge of them
and his disguise to escape detection. He
J, dressed himself in Indian costume and
started on his journey. He arrived at
the upper agency at night. The place
was literally the habitation of death. He
visited all the houses and found their for
mer occupants all lying dead, some on the
door-sieps, and some inside Of their habi-
tations; others were scattered in the
yards and in the roads. He went to the
house of Hon j. r, Brown, and recog-
nized every member of the family. They
numbered Is in all, and every one Of
them had been brutally murdered. At
Beaver Creek he found that 80 families
had been killed outright. At every
house he went into he recognized the
dead bodies Of nearly all the former in
babitantS of the place.
Of the dead bodies he recognized at
The Agency were the following: n. Gen
ems and family, John Toddens and fami-
ly, DR.. Wakefield and family, John Moy-
ner Edward Moyner, Rev, DR.. Williams
Rev. Mr.. Briggs and two Missiourians.-
Ex-Governor Sibley is now marching to
the relief Of Fort Ridgeley. He reports
that the Sioux band are united together
to carry out a concentrated and desperate
scheme, and says that he will be only too
happy to find that the powerful upper
bands Of Yanktons and other tribes have
not united.
Mr.. Premier writes 10 Coy. Ramsey on
The 2lst inst, saying that he left Fort
Ridgey al , O'Clock on that morning
There were then over POGO Indians at
that Fort, and all the wooden buildings
there had been set 90 fire and were burn
ing. Mr.. FREEZER thinks that other tribes
are joining the Sioux, and that they will
present very formidable array.
A reliable letter. dated Glencoe, DIST
says that the injury done by the STAN
pede Of the settlers is immense; that
such another scene Of woe can hardly be
found in the South as in Mcleod. the
northern part of Sibley and other coun-
ties, aud the adjoining country, All the
available horses are oeih5 saiheIed TO-
gether, and all sorts Of weapons will be
used by willing hands for immediate and
summary vengeance upon those blood
thirsty Indians
