river became pretty we'll acquainted with
the feeling that there existed in regard to
the expedition, that the movements were
too slow and cautious. l confess that l
sympathized somewhat 10 this feeling, I
came up with the hope that should be
able to exert some influence in forwarding
the movement, and especially in securing,
if possible, the safety and liberation of the
captive white women and children, to-
gether with such half breeds and civil
lied and Christian Indians as have been
forced into their measures, and are really
held in captivity and compelled to
dress like Indians. The night after had
reached this camp, q refugee from Big
Stone Lake brought intelligence that Mrs.
Higgins with her children. and Miss Julia
Lapenbrim were then at Longee's trading
place, on the North side of the Minnesota,
at the old Mission Station at Lac qui
Parle. My desire was that detachment
be instantly sent up on this side OF the river,
to effect their rescue. But the revelations
of Tuesday and Wednesday-the Indians
pitching into and cutting up so terribly the
camp of those who had gone up as the es.
cort of burial FAITHFULLY satisfied me
of the an-wisd0m of such plan as had
proposed. 1t did more than that-it salts
fed me that the greatest caution and pru-
dence are demanded in conducting this CAM
paign. At present the Indians have all the
advantage in the war. Their passing with
celebrity from place to place on horseback
'Eeir mode of shooting and fying-their
perfect knowledge OF the country, its ra.
vines and hiding plains-their bushwhack-
ing and ambushing give them deci.
ded advantage in fighting with our troops.

Coolie, will not, trust, be soon forgotten.
Wisdom should bejustiied by her children.
In looking at the past and the present, l
am satisfied that Col. Sibley has acted
WISELY in not advancing until he is we'll pre-.
pared for offence and defence. The safety
of his command require it. He is anxious
to 60 forward at the earliest practicable
moment. At the same time this necessary
delay for ammunition is likely to work good
in regard to the prisoners. If so, we shall
none of US regret it.

His Excellency Governor of Minnesota
We the undersigned, Chiefs Of the Chip.
pewas of Lake Superior, do petition,
through you, to the President of the United
States, the Great Father, as hereinafter set
forth:
My Father, we have heard, and do hear
every day, through our children, the half.
breeds, who are more enlightened than we
are, that you are in trouble; that you have
been in trouble with your own people and
that they are very strong. We hear that
one of your Red children has taken up the
knife and tomahawk against you; that they
have killed and murdered both men,
women and children. They have DESTROYED
everything they could lay their hands on.
They are blind; they do not appreciate
your kindness. The Great Spirit looks
down on that people with vengeance. We
raise the spirit of the Chippewa enemies to
avenge the wrongs perpetrated on their
white brethren. My Father, you know that
he is our enemy, therefore we beg that you
give US chance to show you that we are
your friends and wish to serve you, to help
you to preserve peace and tranquility among
your children. We are willing to go and
help you to put down the evil spirit Of my
old enemy Give US an opportunity to show
you that We are loyal to the Great Fataer
and to his laws, and that We appreciate his
/fn 70 ID IL a..
Great Father has enough to do down South
for his soldiers; let him send them down
there, and send US to fight our red enemy
We are ready to go; provide US the meaus
and we will 60. We are willing to obey or

ing. Pay our expenses and provide for our
families while we are gone. We also wish
to raise our men in our own way, as we
have been accustomed to raising men for
"War Party" We also think that it
would be just and right if we should whip
them, that their annuities should be paid to
those that would 60 and fight. My Father
give US your consent, and we will get the
Lake Superior Chippe vas, with our half
breed children, to rise zen masse" to your
help. Provide US with arms and ammuni~
tion, and we are ready. My Father, the
door is opened for me to help you, shut it
not again to my face. We are willing to
60. Our Fathers have drove them from
this country, and if you had not come be
tween US we would have chased him still
farther. Our young men are anxious to go
and show you that we are your friends.
We know that we cannot do and drill like
your soldiers, because we do not understand
each other-our talk is different. We
would offer you our services as we'll to fight
your own people down were it not for that,
but send us against our own color and we
can fight. You will please answer and adj
