Western Soldiers.

The Western men fight like heroes. Old
soldiers and new recruits are alike in ear
nest and almost equally efficient 10 the bat
Tie field. One of the regiments that stood
the bravest and suffered the worst at Fort
Donels0n had been organized less than q
month, and was raw in everything except
stern heroism. The officers of these men
have no doubt of their courage. They
know that at any hour they can be led
against the enemy's batteries. No long
period of preparation is required to make
them fit to fight for their country. And so
the men gloriously justify the confidence of
their leaders. ......'.. ,@
As yet, the great achievements of the
war have mainly been the work of Western
men. Their advance reminds US of Mr..
Webster's saying that one of these days it
would rain bullets down the Mississippi.
We trust, however, that the men of the
East may soon have large opportunities to
prove themselves of the same manly stock.
As the history of the conflict now stands,
the glory of lofty daring and of noble deeds
for freedom are not equally divided between
the two sections.-New York Tribune.
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1862-03-28
PEA RIDGE.


Pea Ridge, on which the battle was fought,
varies in breadth from two to five miles.
and extends some fourteen or fifteen miles
and so uneven are its surfaces that no one
can see for more than a few hundred yards
at time, in consequence of the intervening
trees. -.-. r@t g" $3.50
"A small settlement, including some half a
dozen houses, to which the name of Leetown
has been given,i is on the Ridge, and also three
or four farm houses. all of which were destroy
ed before the engagement began. The
banks of Sugar Greek are not steep, and,
as the stream is small, it is easy to cross, even
with artillery. ~.
The battle began on the lower side of the
creek, and was soon after transferred to the
upper and on the second and third days
was conducted towards the east, with occa-
sional shiftings to the west, including scope
of at least eight or ten miles.
THE FEDERAL ARMY. %
Our effective force could not have been
more than twelve thousand on the Gay of the
first engagement, and was composed of In-
diana, Illinois, Iowa. and Missouri troops.
The army was divided into three divisions,
under the command of General Samuel r.
Curtis, brave and patriotic officer.

This regiment of infantry has been per.

performing all winter, he managed to give
it a thorough course of drilling. 1t com.
prises in all 886, men, 300 of whom are fit
for duty. The men are finely armed, and
have practiced considerably in target firing.
Frontiersmen are proverbial for heroism

credit to the North Star State, and to their
country. .....,sta--s, hseo-s.a.a.o

administration, for time served the Pres

From the Winona Rep ubiican. .. G.s.
Some one of our philosophical statesmen
made the remark k upon a certain occasion,
with reference to the brood of government
officials who then existed, that "but few die,
and none resign" Probably this was the
literal truth at the time ofits expression, for
that was the era OF Democratic place hold
ipg;. but we believe it will 90 longer hold
good at least as an unvarying rule. The
ground for our belief in the present instance
is the resignation (happily not death) Of @.
F. Buck, Esq. United States Marshal for
the District OF Minnesota, which was re.
Gently sent in to the proper department at
Washington, and accepted, We are not
aware OF, the causes which induced Mr..
Buck to resign, but whatever they may
have been we feel quite certain that bis re-
signtion viii" be very generally regretted
throughout the State-Mr. Buck having,
during the brief time be has held the posi-
ton, made very Efficient, faithful and ac-
commodatipg officer. We understand that
Mr.. Buck will be succeeded by Charles
Eaton, Esq, of this place, a suitable man
in every respect, as all who know him can
testify. .a

hanna Every creek and mountain pass has
its history and with that history you generally
find associated the Indian name Where will
you find so many names, somewhat corrupted,
perhaps, but still easily traceable to their In
dian origin, as here
Hark to the music Of a few of them We
have Wyalusiug, TunkhanEock, Lackawanna,
Wyoming, Nanticoke, Cattawssa, Mahoning,
Shamokin, Chillisquaque, Muucy. Loyal Sock,
LycomiDg Towanda, Kittanniog, Sheshequin,
and many others. @ %
The Indians seem to have called what is
now Towanda, 4" Awandse :" and perhaps what
is now known as Pine Greek is little easier
of pronunciation than the aboriginal Tia.
daghton." So, also, what is now known as
Muncy Creek was, in the native dialect, DC
cohpocheny" aud by some of the tribes was
called LoDgeserango." The name Muney
was doubtless given by the whites as easier of
pronunciation, or because the tribes inhabit-
ing the region were called the Monseys," or
Wolf tribes
Lycoming was, in Indian, Lacomick;" and
Stonehange" is by some given as the Indian
name of Loyal Sock 1t, as we'll as Muncy
may have been known to different tribes by
different names !; for Loyal Sock is undoubted-
ly Indian, and signifies Middle Fork"-the
explanation being that it enters the Susque-
hanna about midway between Mnncy creek
and Lycoming There is reason ia this and
the authority for it, though mislaid, satisfied
my mind.
ChilIisquaqua, The frozen Duck, " is named
from the legend of beautiful Squaw having
met an untimely death upon the banks of that
quiet stream.
NanticoEe and Lackawanna are most eer-
tainly Indian, and | am informed by Welsh
man that the roots of both words are certainly
Welsh He explains them to have reference
TO streams of water, in his own language, and
their peculiaritieS answer exactly to those of
the streams which they designate. Itis i'm
possible to say if the meaning of the words in
both languages IS the same but it is a little
remarkable, if the Weshmau was not quizzing
me, that in both, the words should have refer
ence to water, rather than woods, fields or
mountains.
Such is a skeleton of history of the forks
of the Susqlehanns. a history that has been
attempted 10 detached pieces by several writ
ers, but without in single instance making
such book as the facts aud materials would
warrant. That history yet remains to be writ
ten. When done, may it be done wisely and
we'll LEENI LESARE.
