LETTER FROM FORT RIDGLEY.


FORT RIDGLEY, Sept. 8, 1862.
Capt. EARLE s. GoODRICH:
DEAR SIR: Since you left us we have
had considerable excitement, occasioned BY
the report that the Indians were making an
attack Oh Ccptain Giants company and a
detachment ct Cullen's cavalry, sent out to
bury the dead near Red Wood. The ats
tack, it is said, was made st about two
O'Clock yesterday (Monday) morning and
lasted until last night. We have not yet
heard the result Of the fight. About ten
o'clock in the morning Colonel Sibley sent
out reinforcements to Captain Grant and
the cavalry, under command of COlonei Nc.
Phail. Lieutenant Sheshan went out soon
after and saw large body Of Indians,
dressed in white mems clothes, near Colonel
McPhaiI's command. There was large
grove of trees from which the Indians came
out, as if TO draw our men into ambush.
Lieutenant Sheehan came back and report.
ed the facts to Colonel Slbley, and at about
six O'Clock Colonel Sbley, with almost bic
entire command, started to reinforce Col.
McPhail. Today we have heard firing sew
eral times, but as yet have had no messen-
ger in to give US the results. think they
have been shelling the Indians out of the
woods. The men are out without a particle
of bread, and have very few, If any, cooking
utensils.
Major Cullen hes been quite sick since
you we're here, with az attack of intermit.
tent fever; but he is now getting better
and intends to be with the command to-
morrow. Truly your friend,
