Ever since the arrival home of CAssIUs
M. CLAY, the telegraph has been burthen-
ed with the disposition that was to be made
of him by the Government. It was stated
that he was going to New Orleans, and
then that he was to have command in
Kentucky, and then that he would return
to Russia, etc. We believe in CAssIUs the
Government has got an elephant, and don't
know what to do with him. Here is the
latest dispatch about him, which we ind
in the Chicago Tribune: ,A--'iie ~ -
1t is again stated that c. NJ. Clay is about to
return to Russia His views as to military man
agement are said to be not such as in the opn-
ion of the government would warrant it In CIV
ing him military command commensurate y!
with his just claims. As Cameron desires 10
return home it is thought best now to send him
back to Russia again. 1t is understood that
Cameron again wishes to return with view to
canyassing the field for senatorial successes N

Col. sibley,s Dispatches.

The dispatches of Col. SrBLEY to Gen.
POPE, are highly interesting and impor-
tant. He gives an account of finding a
camp of friendly Indians, which embraced
one hundred and fifty lodges, and the re-
lease Of about one hundred white captives
and something over that number of half
breeds, and of commission instituted by
him for the trial of the Indians whom he
has reason to believe are implicated in
murders and other outrages. He also
transmits complete list of the white cap
tives released by the Indians.
In dispatch to the Governor, Col. SIB-
LEY says:
Providentially, the captives in the hands of
the Indians have all been recovered, and are now
in my camp, with the exception of few young
girls, who have been retained as the wives of
the young men, and a small number of boys, old
enough to drive the teams of the hostile party.
who have been taken with them. From the
best information can obtain. they do not num-
Der more than twelve Or fifteen, perhaps less.
l send the captives to Fort Ridgley, with as
many comforts as we can furnish them.
Had Col. SIBLEY done nothing more
than to effect the release of these captives,
he would have earned the applause of the
whole State. The lives of these poor wo-
men and children are worth more than the
souls of all the Indians in existence.

Battle of Iuka.

On our second page will be found let
ter from an intelligent correspondent, Civ
ing an account of the battle of Iuka, in
which Gen. RosECRANs defeated the rebel
army under Gen. PRICE. That the criti-
cisms on the management of the affair are
Just, there can be no doubt The cores
pondent of the Cincinnati Commercial
says: g Drunkenness in high places pre-
vented us from capturing General PRICE,
with his twenty three thousand men, which
could easily have been DONE" Drunken
ness, under such circumstances, is scarcely
less infamous than treason.

The sehelne Of f1nvading lIhe North a
ssN Failure. 8's

With the expulsion of LrE and JACK
SONS Rebels, from Maryland, by General
McCIHLLAN, and the thwarting of the Wes-
tern invaders by WRIGHT, NELSON and
BUEIIs the mad scheme of invading the
loyal States, forced upon the traitor Con-
gress by such inflriated demagogues as
PoRcHER MILES, has run its short and
troublous career to ignominious failure.
1t no doubt had its political as well as mil
itary design. Forced in part by the utter
beggary of the districts which the Rebel
armies had blighted by their presence, and
which no longer furnished entertainment
for either man or beast, the aggressive
movement was doubtless also intended as
sham to deceive Europe, by passing off
spasm of feverish energy as demonstra-
ton Of enduring yigor and strength. But
the disastrous failure of this effort must
tell with damaging effect against their
cause. The astute statesman across the
Atlantic viii hardly have had time to ex-
anime and digest the record of the tempo
rary successes of the Rebels before being
overtaken by the Intelligence of the prompt
and emphatic punishment they received;
ofthe instant uprising of Pennsylvania and
Ohio, Of the powerful reinforcements sent
to the Union armies, and of the splendid
victories of South Mountain and Antietam,
by which the Rebels were sent bowling
across the Potomac
Looking back from to-day, over the last
few weeks, we may well congratulate our
selves upon the utter failure and defeat of
the Rebel plan of a Northern aggressive
war, East and West, which had its politi-
cal as well as its military significance, and
which, after such prompt repulse in the
West, and terrible punishment in the East,
will scarcely be counseled again, even by
such hotheads as MILES and FooTE.

A Confession.

1t has been stated, we think, that the
Indian outbreak and massacre OF women
and children in Minnesota was the indirect
if not the positive work of the rebel lead
ers. Monstrous as the assertion is, it is
true by their own Confession The proof
is in the following paragraph, which we
cut from the Richmond Dispatch, OF the
oath instant: ,n 3 ,le2 e egiY

We are not fully advised Of the position
and movements of our armies in Kentucky,
and would not be at liberty to give infor-
nation to that effect if it were in our pos
session. Of one fact, however, we are
confident: There are now troops enough
in Kentucky and in the camps of the
Northwestern States, to move upon and
overwhelm the rebels in Kentucky without
delay, and it is of vital Importance to move
at once. Our newotroops may be straw +"
and the veterans weary, but we are con-
vinced that now is the time to move. 1t is
an intolerable modification to see the rebels
running riot over the State of Kentucky,
and her best citizens driven into exile or
subjected to prosecutions at home. All
considerations of national honor and safety
are against the continuance of this dis
tressing and most disastrous state of
affairs. aaa'o4 a4
tits not doubted that every day of delay
in Kentucky adds immensely to the stores
of rebel supplies for the ensuing winter.
It is indicated that the main object of the
invasion Of this State is to sweep off the
| whole stock of provisions the State affords,
and it is hardly thought probable that,
even if let alone by our armies, they would
attempt to hold the whole State through
the winter. a,it 81 l4anor Il siqoaq yii3 10

The Republican,, the radical organ at
Washington, has the following with refer
ence to the Presidents proclamation:
We are today 10 nearer the possession Of
| Virginia than we were In April, 1851 and it is
doubtful whether the military strength Of their
resistance to Ms has not increased IN quite as
great proportion as our 0wns That Is the
plain truth Of the case, and we may as well look
1t in the face.
It would seam that the President has looked
it in the face, and has become satisfied that the
repression of ss rebellion dy merely military meas
ures Is an ;pp0ss5il 5ilty. T hdt soGs ersaent to
some from the start, and to increasing numbers as
ecents haze progressed.
| If the Republican speaks in this the
opinions of the President, the confession
that the repression of this rebellion by
merely military measures is impossible, vii
make food for reflection for the more
thoughtful minds.
The New York independent, which
heartily endorses the Presidents Emanci-
patton Proclamation, nevertheless expresses
regret that the decree of emancipation is
not immediate and unconditional, and, in
stead of being based on considerations of
expediency, founded on the principle of
Justice to the slave The desires of the
Independent, in these respects, would be
reasonable, if the proclamation had any
reference to philanthropic considerations.
But we understand it to be exclusively a
war measure-issued for the same reasons
that an order to burn town, or to do any
other act directed against the enemy, would
be issued-in which light alone it is to be
considered, and in which respect it calls for
the support Of the people, as any other
order of the Commander in Chief calls for
such support. aa
Were its primary purpose the emanci-
patton of the blacks it would be peculiarly
censurable in the direction indicated by
the Independent, for it contemplates no
conditions Of humanity nor principles of
justice so far as the slaves themselves are
concerned. Their freedom is made by it
dependent on no merits of their own, but
contingencies connected with others. It is
no justice to them but punishment to 9TH
ers that dictates it. 1 es4e
There is no occasion for getting confused
over the matter. All the great ends of
freedom may flow from it, as contemplated
by its enthusiastic admirers, and when
they do, it will be ample time to rejoice
accordingly. At present it has no other
aspect, as it has no other purpose, than as
a war measure means of Fastening the
termination of the rebellion-and in that
light only is it profitable now to consider
it. As war measure, there will be diff
ferences of opinion as to it's value, though
none as to the propriety Of supporting the
President in making it as effective as pos
sible.

q The three regiments at the right of us
suffered more severely than we. The
brunt of thes6ght was born by our brig
ade. The charge of the rebels was sud-
den and desperate Our brigade mustered
hardly beyond two thousand men. In a
half hours fight one hundred and fifty
were killed and four hundred wounded.
The rebels engaged in whole or in part
four brigades. They lost somewhat more
heavily than we. The commanders of the
Third Texas and Third Louisiana and
seven of the captains of these two regi-
ments, are wounded and in our hands.
We took the colors of the Third Texas.
Col. Eddy, of the Fourty eighth Indiana, is
wounded in the arm severely, and Colonel
Boomer, ofthe Twenty fifth Missouri, l fear
fatally shot through the breast. Col. San
born commanded the brigade and behaved
gallantly. The Fourth did its work, as it
always will, manfully. Capt. Legro COM
manded. The regiment is now, j learn,
at Iuka, and rumor has it is about to set
off Ripley-wise after the feet footed Price.
Of the circumstances of the fight you will
have learned ere this reaches you. So
leave it all: May God be merciful and

of their bereavements. .r,.- -s,5f odt 4,
