ton and Sissiton bands, and that the Yanc-
tons or Cut Heads, will be down as soon as
they arrive from their hunt,
We have therefore to meet, according to
Mr.. Riggs. and other competent authority,
900 or $500 men, and have from the
beginning, believed and acted upon the
conviction, that the lower bands wOnld not
attempt to escape, but would make deter
mined stand. Their m lin camp is at Yek
low Medicine, and it is said by the Robin
sons, that the Upper Sioux have refused to
allow them to 90 to their country, but tell
them they must fight where they are.
From what l can gather, l am satisfied
that they will make a desperate fight, and
that we must expect night attacks, am.
bushes, and every species of annoyance in
our advance. In view of the great impor.
lance of the results of the movements OF this
column, and the fact that am without any
dsposable force of mounted men (there are
not more than 60 or 70 lefty must urge
the absolute necessity of having cavalry
fully armed and equipped to the number Of
at least one regiment, and the infantry
force increased to 1000 men. This expe.
dition, if properly supplied with men and
materials, can crush this emeute at blow,
and wipe out the murderers, but should it
meet with repulse, or take the field against
a vigilant and desperate enemy, without
sufficient supplies, no one can foresee the
horrible results. The scouts, as we'll as
the bearers of the flag of truce, assert that
all outlying parties have been called in, in
view of the menacing position of this corps,
and the latter further state, that the party
that attacked Major Browns camp consist
ed of 349 men, who left the Yellow Medi.

dition. Let US exterminate these vermin

port to you in my next the amount and de.
scription of ammunition on hand, and what

In accordance with your suggestions
have sent to New Uim 80 muskets OF diff
ferent kinds and $500 cartridges, which
have been turned over to the Sheriff of the

would leave for st. Paul to hurry up rein-
forcements and supplies for the south side

of the necessity of adding to his strength,
hope you will net forget than in all prob
ability this corps must meet the main at

LETTERS FROM INDIAN MISSIONARIES.
LETTER FROM REV. g. H. POND TO GOVERNOR
RAMSEY.

LETTERS FROM INDIAN MISSIONARIES.
LETTER FROM REV. g. H. POND TO GOVERNOR
RAMSEY.
BLOOMINGTON, September 8, 1862.
Mr.. Pond, after abiding to the attack of
the Indians on Captain Grants command,
at Birch Coolie, says:
it is fact that our troops will always
be in most danger, when they expect it
least. This is not an exaggeration. The
Indians will attack only when we think
them to be thirty miles off," because then
we shall be unprepared for them They
will never risk an attack by day, unless
they feel sure that they are not expected.
Ordinarily, they will not be seen by us
during the day which precedes the night of
attack. They will closely watch all our
movements, eoery day, without being seen,
and will know precisely where we encamp
at night. They will be able to describe
our position so accurately that every In
dian who hears it, can approach US pre-
cisely at the point be wishes to, in the dark.
They will never once let pass unimproved
an opportunity to shoot at US in the night
aoteas ve are asleep, and it will make 70 differ
ence to them whether We are one Thousand
strong, or only one hundred.
We have to meet them as they are.
Would it not be we'll to caution your
military officers in relation to these matters /?
1t seems to me that our troops should ne
yer take an exposed position for the night,
nor march into one by day, and especially
when no Indians have been seen. Every
encampment should be made with particu-
lar reference tU an attack. The men should
meUer be allowed to sleep by their camp
fires, nor in their tents, until they know alb
solutely, that there is no danger, and then
they cannot be too cautious. Indeed,
doubt whether the men ought, under any
circumstances to sleep during the latter
part of the night, and when they do sleep
it should be with the expectation of being
reused by musketry and whizzing bullets,
and the groans of the dying.
They had better sleep on some eminence
by day, and expect an attack by night. 1t
seems to me that it would be better to carry
spades than tents, and selecting their place,
throw up little bank of earth each night
for protection. Tents might be of use to
deceive the enemy, and trap should be set
warily every night.
These thoughts and many better ones in
relation to these matters, may have occur.
red to you before, and probably have. If
so, well. l shall feel easier for having
written them. hope you will be able eff.
fectually to caution the troops against sur.
prises. They evidently need it. He who
fights with Indians must endure hardness.
Yours, &c. G. H. POND.

seuting the Freeman's Associations of those
CITIES, waited on Secretary Stanton this
morning. III company With Senator Sum-
ner to inquire into the authority, under
which Gov. S,anly issued bis order, closing
the colored schools, in North Carolina.-
These gents had official advces that this
bad been done, from Vincent Collyer, who
was teoching 800 loyal blacks when the
order was issued. Secretary Stanton show
ed them his instructions TO Gov. Stanley,

tary Stanton also said that he would not

as that of Gov. Stanley, and read bis Wis
vtors the letter which he had just written
to that funCtionary after consultation with
the Pres dent, in which he was directed to
revoke the obnoxious order and to allow
the schools to go on as heretofore.
The commissions and instructions to
Gov. Stanley aud Andy Johnson were to-
day sent into the Senate in response to
