The Indian Outbreak I'm Min
nesOta.
From the St. Paul Pioneer. Aug.21.1

From the st. Paul Pioneer, Aug. ILL
We might fill our paper with the ru
mors of wholesale massaeres and de
vasta.ion, which are current in oul
streets, but having sifted them through
ly, we are convinced that they have nc
other foundation than the facts already
published, and the excitedimaginations
of the people on the frontier, who have
left their homes and taken refuge in
the towns on the Minnesota river.
There can be no exaggeratim as to
the alarm which prevails in the negh.
horhood where the murder was com.
mitted. We are informed that hun
dreds of settlers, with their families
came into Carver OH Tuesday, and were
constantly arriving during the night,
having left their homes on the instant
they received intelligence of the Indi-
an raid. Some of these people were
perfectly terror stricken, although they
had not seen an Indian Tor MONTH
They brought reports Of the burning of
Glencoe, and Of horrors indescribable,
which had been impaired to them by
others, or which their own fears had
eonjured up. Many even came down
to ST Panl on the steamer. while others
arrived last evening, with their own
teams, in a state of complete exhausta-
ton from excitement and want of sleep.
Men. Women and children, some of
them half clothed, bare-footed and hun
CRY, have arrived here, who were actu-
ally stampeded from their homes by
terror
The Clara Hine arrived since the
above was written, but brought moth
ing of Importance. Settlers were still
arriving at Carver, Chaska, and Shake
pee, but the alarm was gradual snb-
siding and many were returning to
their homes. The reports Of the burn
ing of Glencoe and other stories which
have been current are contradicted.
1 Gov. Sibley has divided his force, q
portion going up to the Agency, and
and the balance into the interior, back
of Corver. They have very little ex-
pectation Of finding hostile Indians.
From the st. Paul Press, 81.
News was received by the Governor
last night that there had been an out
break at the Chippewa Agency, and the
Agent driven into Fort Ripley. We
did not learn any particulars, only that
hundred men were wanted up there.

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE .JouRNAL.'
Letter from Washington.

WASHINGTON CITY, July 8, 1862.
EDITOR JoURNAL.--Phis has, thus far, been
a week of excitement, doubts and fears, rela
-atIve to the movements and engagements of
our Army before Richmond. Some persons
of a naturally hopeful disposition, contended
that Gen. Mcclellan now occupies the posi-
tion he had originally selected as his base OF
operations-that he had intended at the out
start to go up the James river-that the dash
made by the Merrimac induced him TO go up
the York instead of the James River-and that
when the Merrimac was destroyed, he had ad-
vanced TOO far to abandon the latter route and
pursue the one first named. The facts, how
ever, as they break IN upon us, indicate e clear
ly that the moving of the Army over to James
river was not i part of the general plan, but
that the attack of JAG kson's forces on the
right. on Thursday and Friday, made the
movement necessity TO save our army from
total destruction, by the constantly increasing
numbers of the Rebels.
The anxiety prevailing here has been heigh-
tened, perhaps, by the many inquiries that are
being made by the friends of the brave men
who compose McClellan's army. But as we
are little better informed than you as TO
the exact condition of affairs, it is impossible
10 give satisfactory answers to the dispatches
and letters crowding in upon us. The friends
of the sick and wounded can, however, rest
assured that every effort will be made to have
them cared for. The Relief Association OF
Pennsy ylvania, recently formed here, is doing
much in this connection. / understand there
are nearly 5000 soldiers, 500 Of them from
our own State, which the Association is look
ing after, and this number will, as matter OF
course. be largely increased by the late terri
Die conflict before Richmond. Hon. j. X
Moorbead, of Pittsburgh, the Chairman OF the
Association, has large share of ssthe milk OF
human kindness" coursing through his veins,
is liberal with his means, and is jealous in
'he performance of the commendable duties
which thus fall 10 his lot. He is an active,
energetic, working Member of Congress, who
never tires of looking after and attending to
me interest OF his own immediate consttu-
sn's' nor OF those OF the people OF the State at
p'fge. He is rising man. and recently 1 have

THE PEOPLES STATE CONVENTION.

remedy is surely ted by those who suffer
from StrumouS complaints, aud that one which
will accomplish their cure must prove of immense
service to this large class of afflicted fellow
citizens. How completely this compound will do

During late years the public have been misled
by large bottles pretending to give a quart of
Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most of
these have been frauds upon the sick for they
net only contain little, if any sarsaparila, but
painful disappointment has followed the use of
the various extracts of Sarsaparilla which flood
the market, until the name tselfis Justly despised
and has become synonomius with IMPOSITION and
cheat. Still call this compound Sarsaparil la,
and intend to supply such remedy as shall res
the name from the load of obliquy which
rests upon it. And we think we have ground for
believing it has virtues which are irresistible by
the ordinary of the diseases it is intended to
cure.
