ten minutes all our meu are either sick or
my horse is unfit for duty" The men
named above, are our favorites. 1t would
take two or three lawyers to answer the
questions of the men composing the First
Virginia Cavalry alone when they are told
that we are going to have a fight. "Who
commands the brigade?" Gen. Buford.-
Bully" is the answer. Who leads the re-
giment? Col. Richmond. "Whoop | let
EN- come" And thus we go; but give as
a slow, chicken hearted commander, and
you may as well acknowledge the Southern
Confederacy at once. We want leaders
that eau stand the smell of guuPowder with
out turning pale, and we now think we
have them. No more of those curly headed
Frenchmen, who were born and raised in
Switzerland, are wanted here. We had one
and that is enough. We want commanders
who pay more attention to duty than to
dressing and combing their auburn looks.
We have learned something of late. We
can now tell a good officer by his "rtg." A
man with dusty coat, unshaved face, and
two dollar aud a half shoulder straps, is
worth twenty doug ghfaces who are brushed
up as slick as "a peeled onion" and sport
half busheI of ostrich feathers in their
caps, with ten dollar shoulder straps. The
latter can be seen in profusiou about the
National Hotel in Washington. The sooner
they are dismissed from the service the
better. We want men not poppinjays.
1t is no use for me to give you an ac-
count of McClellaus victories in Marylaud'
because you already have that. Every
thing is life aud jollity about here, and has
been ever since ''little Mack" was placed
in command of all the forces in Virginia.
The men now talk of home confidently,
and it is to De hoped the war may soon be
over and all allowed to return to their
homes and families. But enough of this
at present. Perhaps will be able to tell
you something by next mail.
Yours Truly, n.
P. S.-As your paper cireulates pretty
extensively in Mouongalia county, allow me
to say that Sergeant Oliver P. Phillips
Corporal Shelby P. Barker, and Privates
Caleb F. Couu, Peter j. Bauer and Dauie
Cornell, of company A, who were missing
at Bull Run, have been heard from. They
were not killed, bat taken prisoners aud
paroled. The first three are from Mouon-
gala and the other two from Hampshire.

C~usty Convention


The editor Of the Republican says we
''amusingly misinssrpetsd" the call for the
County Convention, and charges Us with
ealing Has Convention over the names
Of tho Republican committee. He charges
u with deception also in emitting the cali q
!" Mass" Convention.
We did not misinterpret tha: call, Is its
meaning Is dawn from its face. A Republican
Convention is one where Republicans alone
participate. A cali for such . Convention
might reasonably be entitled Republican
Convention. But merely emitting it such
does not PEI ~ make it SO. The character Of
the call must be gathered from its face. How
was this? In the first placs It was not for
delegate Convention; 50 az, then, il was ior
Mas Convention. In the next placs it
called for oil outside Of tie Republican par.

10 his Excellency the Governor IF Minnesota :
DEAR Sir have now been here twelve
days. endeavo,ing to effect an amicable ar
rargement Of the troubles with the Chippe-
wa Indians, but regret to say that at the time
Of writing this I despair of doing so.
When l arrived, Hole in-the Day and q
considerable number Of bis band were en-
camped at Gull Lake, some thirty miles
northo Of this place. have sent him repeated
messages to come and meet me in council
and had the invitation borne to him by Diff
ferent messengers. For ten days he delayed
evaded and refused. During this time he
was busy gathering and arming his men and
warriors, and moved his camp from Gull
Lake to within two miles of Crow Wing
On yesterday he finally consented to meet
me in council in Crow Wing. Instead Of
bringing with him thirty or forty Of hi,
chiefs and head men, as had been agreed, he
brought near three hundred, all armed some
with guns others with bows, hatchets, clubs
and knives. One hundred Of them advanced
to meet US in froat; eighty concealed them
selves, made circuit through the woods,
and at signal from the front. suddenly ap,
peared upon and took possession of the road
behind US, where they detained and took
two whits settlers prisoners, and held them
until ordered their release.
In the council Hole in the Day was bold
and impudent and no result was reached by
the conference. 1t is to be renewed this morn
ing, but fear collision will take place.
| have sent Captain Burt's company at Crow
Wing. I take another company with NE
to. day, TO attend the ccuacil, and to proven,
such trick as occurred yesterday.
requested that you send Immediately e
this place at least three hundred additional
troops, l regard the danger Of an outbreak
as being i'm minent.
The Indians. in addition to their depreda
lions at Leech Lake, Rabbit Lake, and a
Otter Tail City, are almost daily entering
houses and shooting cattle in this region.
The force that ask COR is needed to pro
tect this Fort, the Agency and its property
and the frontier settlements.
