The seven Heads ofour Army,

From the great base line of ours which
extends from. the Potomac to the Plains,
seven armies have set out aud fought bat
ties for the suppression of rebellion, viz,
one, the grand army, in Eastern Virginia
a second in the valley of the Shenandoah;
n third in Western Virginia; fourth in
Eastern Kentucky fifth in the centre OF
that State u sixth on the Mississippi
and a seventh in Missouri. OF these, all
are on the advance, and nearly all have
been victorious in their encounters with
the enemy. The grand army threatens
and will soon occupy Richmond, the rebel
capital. The army of the Shenandoah is on
the advance up the valley, after hard
fought and successful battle. Thearmy OF
Western Virginia has rested in winter quar-
tersin the mountains, after having cleared
thisportion of the State of the rebel troops.
The army of Eastern Kentucky having
passed, after important successes, is about
to enter East Tennessee, and free it from
the thraIdOm of traitors. The great army
ofCeutral Kentucky. with its headquarters
rapidly transferred from Louisville to
Nashville, is now on the borders of Alaba-
ma and Mississippi, soon to engage in a
great battle, or ifthe enemy retreats with
out lighting, to secure for itself trium.
Phaut advance to the Gulf of Mexico.
The army of the Mississippi, With the
aid of the naval brauch which has already
Z rendered such important services TO the
army OF Kentucky, is descending the great
river to take Memphis, when It has over

by successful attack on the city by the
Federal troops and flotillR from the ocean.
The seventh army, that of Missouri,
having freed the State from rebel soldiers
and marauders, has entered the hostile
State Of Arkansas, and beaten an enemy
confident in their strength in a battle

Hue other corps dGFmes have been sent
South ny sea, to belt the entire coast by
the occupation Of the naritime towns ami
forts of the rebel States and of adjoining
territory. The firm compression OF the de-
luded people of that region, like the
squeezing of a turbulent subject by a
powerful athlete, will doubtless help, not
q little, to bring them to their senses, and
to deprecatory promise on their part
that, when allowed once again to breathe,
they will "raise their sweet voices'' in 9TH
err tones and with other words than those
of anarchy and treason.

broken by reason of the breachiness of

ing all. There were several cases of
abandonment Immediately preceding the
attack, which, if designed to evade the
struggle, were disgraceful in the extreme,
and unworthy of Americans. But as they
may have arisen from other causes, I will
not report the names of the parties.
Many narrow escapes occurred during
the protracted fight. Several persons were
shot through the hat. One young man re-
ceived three bullets through the pantaoons
in rapid succession, without being hurt in
the least.
We did not burn the town on leaving,
thinking possibly that the Indians might
not return and destroy it, and not deeming
it much of a defence for them should they
occupy it on our return.
1t was my design that the country be.
tween New Ulm and Mankato, should be
Immediately reoccupied by our troops, and
the ground temporarily lost by our with
drawal, regained at once by fresh troops,
we'll equipped and capable of remaining on
the field, and l looked for material of that
sort for the business on my arrival, but not
a soldier from the regular service except
Capt. Dane, with 100 horses, has yet reach
ed that part of the country, which is at this
moment utterly defenceless, except so far as
he is capable of holding it.
The citizen volunteers that went to the
assistance of New Ulm, disbanded pretty
generally on their return, being barefooted,
overworked, and required at their homes.
1 wish your Excelency would turn the
tide of soldiers flowing into the valley, to
the Blue Earth region, from which the
whole southern part of the State can be
protected, and efficient co. operation afforded

FORT RIDGLEY RELIEVED.
Indians Gone Towards Red
Wood.

Lieutenant Colonel WIN. r. MARSHALL
arrived Friday afternoon by the Ante
lope, with the gratifying intelligence that
Cololonel S1BLEY's advance had reached
Fort Ridgley on Wednesday morning
about daylight, and that the Indians hao
retreated towards Red Wood.
We learn from Mr.. MARSHALL, who &C
companied the advance of $50 cavalry, I'M
der Lieutenant Colonel McPHA1L, that the
Fort had not been attacked by the Indians
in body after Friday last.
On Monday the people at the Fort saw
the Indians'in large body moving up the
River towards Red Wood. They had a
very large train of wagons, horses, cat
tie, sc.
1t is supposed they have about 200 cap
tive women and children.
The following despatch from Colonel
SHELLEY is all the official information that
was received at the Capitol yesterday:
HEADQUARTERS LA FAYETTE,
August %, 1862.
Adjutant. General OSCAR MALMRos, st. Paul:
SIR: 1 dispatched $50 mounted volun.
teers to endeavor to gain Fort Ridgley,
soon after the march of my column from
St. Peter, on the 26th inst, and last eve.
ming, soon after l had encamped with my
forces, received dispatch from the COM
manding officer of the detachment Colonel
McPhai), stating that he had entered the
Fort without opposition, and found all safe
the Indians having previously retreated
from their position there, as they have from
their other haunts along the line, since they
have learned from their scouts of the in.
crease of our force.
New Ulm was successfully defended
against ferocious attack of several huns
dred savages, by Captain Charles E. Flan-
drau and the inferior force under his com.
mand. 1 beg leave to commend to the
special attention and consideration of the
Communicating Chief the distinguished con~
duct of Captain F. and the small force
under bis command, in thus preventing the
inevitable massacre of many hundreds of
white settlers then in that town.
Captain F. finally evacuated the town,
taking with him the entire population, who
have arrived safely at Mankato.
I regret to learn that Captain F.'s loss
was considerable, amounting to ten killed
and fifty wounded but that of the savages
was much greater, many being seen to fall
who were carried off by their companions,
while ten or twelve dead bodies were found
by our men, that of renegade half-breed,
George Provencalle, being of the number.
Push up supplies without de-
lay, that field operations may commence at
once. There is no time to lose.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant.

CAPTAIN MARK W. DowNIE.-We were
pleased yesterday to greet Capt. M. W.
Downie, of company B. First Regiment.
He has been sick nearly two months and a
half in a hospital in New Haven, Connect
icut. His rugged frame shows traces of
bis late illness, but we trust the invigorat'
ing air of Minnesota will soon restore him
to complete health. Captain Downie has
passed through many trying scenes, and has
become somewhat stoical, but he cannot
portray the kindness be has received in New
Haven without emotion. He was aston
ished and overwhelmed that stranger, from
a distant State, should be the recipient of
30 much attention. He expresses his warm
eat gratitude to DR.. P. A. Jewett, Physi-
clan, and to j. M. King, Esq, visitor of the
hospital. The ladies of New Haven of the
highest social position, devote themselves to
the care of the sick. Among these he men.
tions particularly, Miss Woolsey, daughter
of President Woolsey, and Others whose
names be cannot recall, but whose counte%
nances will never be forgotten. Captain
Downie, we understand, is assigned to the
recruiting service for the present.

Madison Mutual Insurance Company,
Wisconsin.

By reference to q detailed statement in
another column, the readers of the PINoNEER
will learn that this company propose to in'
troduce their Insurance Business to this
State, and have appointed G. R. MONTAGUE,
ESQ.,, as General Agent for the State of
Minnesota Mr.. MONTAGUE comes to this
State with the highest endorsements from
business men in Wisconsin, and is especial
" recommended by the present State Treas
urer of that State, as will be seen by refer
ring to his letter published at length in the
statement alluded to.
The Company itself comes before the peo
pie of Minnesota recommended by Gov.
SALoMoN, of Wisconsin, who vouches for the
high standing and ability of the Directors
and active Officers.
The large number of policies issued in
1861, in the State of Wisconsin, numbering
SITS, is the best evidence that could be
given, that those who know the officers best,
have the fullest confidence in the response
bility of the company, and that it is an
emineDtly safe company to insure in.
The statement shows very rapid in
crease of business for the last three years,
another evidence of the steady confidence Of
the people.
From all the recommendations presented,
we have no hesitation in asking our readers,
to give full confidence to the representations
of Mr.. MONTAGUE, the General Agent.
