BATON ROUGE GIVEN UP.-Though its
own correspondent at New Orleans, init
mates doubt of the report that our forces
have evacuated Baton Rouge-we are in
clned to believe, says the New York Ex-
press, from what we learn, through other
sources, that that step had been ordered, by
Gen. Butler, as military necessity. We
need all the troops we can muster, in New
Orleans, to strengthen the defenses of that
city which the Rebels are continually
threatening from thin and without. The
removal Of ordnance, quartermasters' stores,
and other government property, from Baton
Rouge, down to New Orleans. we are inform
ed, commenced on the 18th inst, and the
work of evacuation, it was expected, would
be completed. by the Goth or thereabout.
As part of the plan Of progress up and
down the Mississippi from the mouth to ST..
Louis, Baton Rouge was chain in the link Of
cities, but with the abandonment of Vicks-
burg, the place was of no strategic import
ance, as nothing was left but to withdraw
the troops to New Orleans. where, as already
said. their presence is much needed. The
Rebel program me for demonstration On the
Crescent City is said to be 'all agreed upon.'
10 make a commencement, the attack of
Breckenridge on Baton Rouge was concocted.
Meantime. it appears that j eff. Thompson,
with an accommodating force. is at a place
called Pascagonla. about forty miles from
New Orleans, on the jackson Railroad
Gen. Rugses rem aims still ac ross the Lake,
possibly some twenty miles distant. From
intercepted correspondence. it ia evident
that the widest of the Rebels do not believe
that they can carry the city. but they do be-
liere that BIZ making formidable demon
stration, the Rebels will rise and set the city
on FIRE. And this, it is asserted. is the plan
encouraged, strange as it may seem. by many
whose property is ali conferred iD New Or
leans. and whose families will be engulphed
in the conflasration!

NEWS OF THE WEEK.

crates invading the northern States is now
being put into execution. Their plan for
reaching the Ohio river appears to be well
laid. The bulk of the Western army is so
far South that it can afford no timely aid
on the Ohio. The Confederate columns ap-
pear to move at their leisure, and tho peo-
pie flee before them. From all accounts,
Genl. Wright has evacuated Lexington and
Frankfort and gone to Louisville where he
will endeavor to make a stand against the
approach of Gen. Buckner who with Gems :
Morgan and Forests Cavalry, is marching
on Louisville with thirty thousand men,
All the army stores have been removed
from Lexington down the Ky. Central Road f,
and all the state papers have been conveyed
from Frankfort to Louisville where the Cap
itol OF the State is temporarily removed
The correspondent of the Louisville Journal
writes that the Confederate General Nor
gan left Glasgow at 4 o'clock on Saturday
and while there they destroyed all the in
dictments for treason returned by the Grand
Jury at the last term of court, over one
hundred in number. They mutlated the
records OF the court so that no traces of the
indictments are left. They also captured
horses. mules and other property of Union
men.
The news from the Potomac does not i'm
prove. 1t is now admitted that the Confed-
crates were victorious at Bull Run. Their
army was on hand, while large PORTION OF
the Federals did not reach the scene of &C
ton in time to participate. The Federal
troops all behaved well, except MCDowell's
corps G'armee, which broke and ran when
exposed to a hot fire. The two armies are
now opposite each other at Bulls Run
Pope has been reinforced with 10000 men,
but is said to be still greatly outnumbered
by the rebels. The rebels are likely, un-
der these circumstances, to dispatch a heavy
force through Thoroughfare Gap to Harper's
Ferry, and thence make their way into Mary
land and Pennsylvania.
We have received full accounts of the
loss of the California steamer Golden Gate
by fire on July q, fifteen miles to the west
ward of Manzanilla. The general facts have

en- at O'Clock in the afternoon, when the
passengers were at dinner. 1t was so far
advanced as to render it impossible to check
the flames, and the ship was turned
toward shore.
In half an hour the ship grounded three
hundred yards from the beach, where there
was heavy surf. Boats were filled with
passengers and life-preservers distributed,
SO that many of the passengers were saved.
The flames spread with fearful rapidity.
Out Of two hundred and forty-six passen-
gers ard ninety-six crew, about seventy pas
sengers and sixty of the crew were saved,
leaving about two hu ndred lost or missing.
There is little probability of saving the treas
ure.
The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia North American telegraphs
that it is now understood that the period of
drafting will be left with the Governors of
the respective States to decide for them
selves as the Government is not disposed to
push the matter, unless the emergency
should be such as to render single days
delay fatal.

The INDIAN DEpBEDAT1oNs1 IN MINNESOTA.

The INDIAN DEPBEDATIoNsI IN MINNESOTA.
The details of the Indian atrocities In Mn
nesota, as they are given to US by the jour-
nails in that State, become more and more
horrible. In answer to the Governors call,
hundreds of armed men are Fastening to the
scene of the atrociOus murders, and, unless
the reports of dissatisfaction among the tri-
hes further westward is correct. we hope. be-
fore many days have passed. to record the
fact that the instruction has been quelled.
Browne and Renville Counties. in which
the enormities have transpired, are situated
in the south western corner of Minnesota,
the two counties being separated by the Min
nesota or St. Peters River. This stream has
its source in series Of lakes lying between
latitude IS deg. 46 min. north, and flows
southeasterly for about three hundred miles,
to its confluence with the Blue Earth River.
1t then has a northeast course for dis
lance Of about one hundred and twenty
miles, until it reaches the Mississippi, at
Fort Smelling. 1t is navigable for about
forty miles. but small boats can run up to
Patterson's Rapids 295 miles from is mouth.
New Ulm, the scene Of one Of the most "a
trocious of the depredations, is town set
tied within few years, located on the right
bank OF the Minnesota, and in the south
eastern portion of Browne County. Fort
Ridgley is in Renville County. about ten
miles above, and on the opposite bank of
the river. 1t has Of late years been used as
en- artillery post, but previous to the rapid
increase Of population of the State, was an
important fertilization.
GEN. PHELPS AND THE CoNTRABANDs.-A
gentleman up town. who, the other day,
missed his boy" learned tn at the lad was
at Carrolltoh. He at once repaired to tho
headquarters of Gen Phelps and stated his
base-that he was in search of a runaway
negro. "You have lost man, have you, -
observed the General. inquiringly and dryly.
~ es, sir" responded the other. Every
WE'LL" said the General, "the negroes are
over yonder; if your boy is there, he can go
with you if no wishes" The gentleman
asked further that guide might be sent
with him, as he did not know the road and
paths. "Certa;nly" said the General; "Or-
derby, call Maj Scott" Presently the Major
presented himself and General instructed
him to conduct him to the negro camp, and
assist him in find ing his "boy," and to say to
the "boy" that he ,had his Cthe Generally
permission to return with his master. There
upon the Major spoke: 81 am the boy the
gentlemen is in search of. l do not want to
return" That isall 1 can do.' observed
the General. The droll part Of this incident
is. that the General was ignorant of the fact
that the gentleman was SCOTS MASTER
The "Major' had hitherto been known in
darkey circles as great orator; he is now
known as AN ajor Scott of Black Guards -

Lieutenant Colonel Wilder, of the 18th
Indiana, has arrived at home on a short
leave of absence.
Captain Allison, of the 18th, has resigned.
Stephen z. Bartholomew has been COM
.missioned BY the Governor, Second Lieu

ment, vice Or. Brittingham, resigned.
II is estimated that the rebels have vast
g ed over $4,000 worth examination from
their batteries on the lower Potomac with
out doing one cents damage to the Federal
vessels OF war or transports.
The most dreadfuliy savage continuance
upon the Western gunboats, now ready for
operations on the Mississippi, is that to pre-
vent boarding. Each boat is supplied with
a number of large hose pipes for throwing
hot water from the boilers, with force OF
two hundred pounds pressure to the square
inch. Any human being who will encoun-
ter this terrible stream of hot water will be
boiled in an instant.
Lieutenant Colonel Carter Galley is now
in command of the 18th regiment. OF The
nine hundred and thirty-six men in his reg
iment only FIVE hundred and sixty-thret
are able for duty 1t will be remembered
that Hazard, the Colonel of this regiment

CoRNBRRAD AT THE HosPITAL.=We were
shown yesterday a specimen of the corn
bread furnished to the sick soldiers at the
General Hospital. From its appearance we
should suppose it was made of either bran
or saw-dust. If there is any eornmeal in
the piece of bread lying on our table, it is
the meal left after sitting, which is always
thrown away by housekeepers. We know
that the best quality of eornmeal, ground
in this city, is furnished by Captain Little,
the Commissary of this Department and that
such bread should be made from it, is almost
impossible. The soldiers are entitled to
the very best food and especially the sick.
If the parties who prepare food for the SOL
diers at the Hospital, do not understand
their business, let there be thew deal, ,
and others appointed.

TIE REBEL STEAMER NAsHvnLE.-A lei
ter from London to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
says; h-ss
The war has come close home to us here.
The Confederate steamer Nashville is in
dock at Southampton undergoing repairs.
Captain Pegram dined yesterday with his
friends in London, when they celebrated the
release of the rebel Commissioners. The
Tuscarora is also at Southampton, lying in
the stream, with her fires banked, and
springs upon her cable, watching as a cat
watches for mouse. The British Govern
ment has served notice upon the two cap
tains that whichever shall leave the port
first must have twenty-four hours start
The Sumter is at Cadiz, and has been tele-
graphed TO come to the Channel. When
she comes the Nashville will Join her. and
the two will wait for The Tuscarora, and
try the chances OF battle This is the pro-
gramme.
: The British Government is so determined
to maintain a rigid and impartial neutral
ity, that war steamer has been sent to
keep the peace, and see that the steamer
left in port stays out her twenty-four hours
TO the minute But if the two Confederate
steamers should happen to take or sink the
Tascarora, | need not tell you that all Eng
land would celebrate the victory. OF
course, the Tuscarora can never take the
Nashville, unless by a chance meeting at
sea. There can be no pursuit after twenty
four hours. That rule gave some chance
with sailing vessels, but there is none what
ever with steam.

Additional Southern Items

Capt. MeClain of the steamer Charley
Bowen, furnished US with Bowling Green
Courier of the 9th ult., from which we
copy a few interesting paragraphs that we
do not remember to have seen anywhere
else. The Courier pitches into some of the
Somerset fugitives who had arrived in
Nashville, after the following manner:
We notice that the false and grossly exag-
gerated reports of Zollicoffer's repulse
which were first put in circulation atKnox-
vile AID Nashville, were telegraphed to
every portion of the South, greatly alarm
ing and exciting the people of course. If
a score or two of the cowardly creatures
who fed the battlefield and in order to
= hide their own shame, gave circulation to
these villainous reports, had been summarily
attached to the nearest tree, they would
have had nothing more than Justice done
them. We are glad to hear that all of
them hsve been ordered under arrest by
General Johnston, and that as rapidly as
caught the fugitives will be sent to their
respective commands.
The abuse heaped on Gen. Crittenden by
some Of the Tennessee papers, has aroused
the Courier's Kentucky blood, and it re-
plies:
The manner in which some of the Ten
nessee papers speak of Gen. Crittenden, and
refer to the false charges made against him,
is scandalous and infamous and entirely I'M
worthy of brave and just-not to say gen.
erous-men. We advise them TO be a lutte
cautious IL is possible they may soon dis
cover they will have their hands full in
defending the conduct of some of their own
officers and meE.
E&~ dispatch from Knoxville on the
26th, announces the arrival there of ninety.
six of the men wounded in tue battle O
Fishing Creek, who had been placed ia the
A-~-sF'rvslr.
The Courier says upwards of half a mil
lion dollars will be disbursed at Bowling
Green, that week, in paying off troops
1t will be matter of regret in this coun,
try, to learn that the rebel steamer Calhoun
which was beached and burnt near New
Orleans to prevent her falling into tbs
hands of Federal cruisers, brought ovel
Thomas Butler King, Commissioner from
the State of Georgia to Europe. He had
arrived safe at New Orleans. He went from
Europe to Havana, where he took passage

R% The 9th Ohio regiment, which did
so nobly at the battle of Somerset, is never.
theless hardly entitled to the credit of hay-
ing alone decided the battle by bayonet
charge. The truth appears to be that ali of
the regiments engaged used the bayonet as
well as the 9th Ohio. It is'equaily true
that while the official reports of the com
handing officers of the Ohio 9th and Min
nesota End, do not indicate that those regi-
ments captured single stand OF rebel
colors, the Indiana 10th took no less than
three. This, of itself, speaks volumes for

MORE ABOUT THE Lars BATTLE.-A.iet-
ter from W. s. Brown to his pa enis in In
dianapols corrects an error intowhich Gen.
Thomas was betrayed in his official report,
wherein he gives all the credit OF the bayonet
charge to the 9Th Ohio, when, in fact, the gall
liant 10th Indiana led the charge, and with
fixed bayonets advanced upon the enemy Who
confronted them in four rank fiIa n a,,.,,-
how little Gen. Thomas knew about the
fight, he reports officially that ia rebels
had been buried, when in fact no less tban
$50 had been planted on the field. Brown
says that Manson was really the commander,
as Thomas did nothing without first asking
his advice.
