ST. PAtL, Aug. 26.-The latest from New
Ulm is to Saturday night The village was
mostly burned up.
An arrival from Crow Wing direct, brings In
telligence that Hole in the Day, the great Chip
pewa chief, issued proclamation that he would
not be resposible for the conduct of the Indians
after Tuesday, warning the whites to leave the
country before that time. Hole in the Day
sends q message to commissioner Dale and
Judge Cooper to come up and make treaty
Chippewa agent Walker, against whom COM
plants have been made by the Chippewas, is
reported to have committed suicide in a ft of
insanity.
The Chippewa difficulty following so close
upon the Sioux raid, causes great alarm. The
Northern part of the State is making earnest
application for military aid.
Dispatches from COL Sibly to the 25th say
that he arrived at st. Peters on the 22d, and had
been actively engaged in affording all the aid
possible to the belesguered villages.
Major Fowler, with ffty mounted men, made
O reconnaissance Of the Fort Rldgely route the
previous morning, and returned to st. Peters at
three o'clock on the morning Of the 9th. He
brings the bodies Of some women killed within
twenty miles of st, Peters, and reports the de.
struction of property beyond calculation.
The Indians attacked New Ulm on Saturday.
The fight continued till late in the evening.
Nothing heard from there since
Gov. sbley asks for full regiment to be at
once sent up, armed and equipped. He thinks
they and still more will be needed before the
Indians are subdued. He thinks they viii, Sa9s
four or FIVE thousand warriors to meet sooner or
later.
L. A. Evans, Mayor of ST. Cloud, writes to
the Governor that committee of reliable ciu
zens appointed to visit the scene of the recent
reported murders, had just returned. They
went as far as Paynesville, and found some two
hundred persons in the vicinity Of that place
and Norway Lake, murdered. Paynesville pc

In Stearns, Meeker and MonoDgahsla coun-
ties, many persons have been driven from their
homes, leaving their crops but partially har-
vested.
Arrivals at this city from New Ulm report
the usual shocking scenes, too horrible to re-
count.

nearly or quite as strong as Lee and Jackson.
Mcclellan is freed from the net which held
him In Its meshes on the Peninsula.
Some stir was caused in camp, and thou

sudden raid of two hundred and fifty guerrillas
upon Catlet's Station. Under cover of the
night, they dashed in upon our small collection
of men and wagons, and stampediDg lot Of
suffers, and servants and teamsters, burned
seven wagons, ran off number of horses, and
took about hundred prisoners. The most seri-
ous part of the business is, they took Gen Pope's
personal baggage and moneys, and all his off,
oial papers, correspondence, ETC., which happen
ed to be in one Of the wagons which had been
sent 10 the rear In the attack at Catlet's Sta
ton. Twenty supply trains were destroyed or
their contents injured by the rebels. Many
wagons were too wet to burn.

GuorrIIIa war in Missouri.

GREENvILLE, Mo-, Aug. 25.-Msjor Lippit,
of the 18th Illinois cavalry, with two hundred
men, met body of rebels three hundred and
fifty strong yesterday between Bloomfield and

routed them. Thirty of the band were xii led, {,
fifty wounded and sixteen taken prisoners, a
number of horses, several wagons, side arms,
ammunition and their entire camp equipage,

referred to In II were, In the opinion OF Her
Msjesty's Government, far from being decisive,
and partly because there was no proposal In II
upon which Her Majesty's Government was
called upon to come to any conclusion. Events
subsequent to the date OF Mr.. Stewards letter
have shown that Her Majesty's Government, In
ts opinion on the first of these points, was not
mistaken. Victories have been gained, revers-
eB have followed, positions have been reached
In the near neighborhood of the capital Of the
Confederates, and these positions have been
again abandoned.
These events have been accompanied by
great loss Of life In battle and In the hospitals,
while such measures as the confsoation bill
have passed through both Houses of Congress,
and with the proclamations of Gen. Butler at
New Orleans, bear evidence of the increasing
bitterness Of the strife. Tho approach Of q
servile war, 80 much insated upon by Mr.. Sew
ard in his dispatch, only forewarns US that
another element of destruction may be added

moment that intelligence first reached this
country that nine States and several millions of
inhabitants OF the great American Union had
seeded and had made war on the gov.
ernment of President Lincoln, down to the
present time, Her Msjesty's government has
pursued friendly, open and consistent
course. They have been neutral between
the two parties to civil war. Neither the loss
of raw material of manufacture so much neces-
sary to great portion Of our people, or insults
constantly heaped upon the British name In
speeches and newspapers, nor rigor beyond the
usual practice Of nations with which the Queen's
subjects, attempting to break loose from the
blockadlDg of the Southern ports, have been
treated, have induced Her Majesty's Govern
ment to swerve one inch from this impartial
neutrality. At this moment they have nothing
more at heart than to see that contamination
which the President speaks of in his answers
to the Governors of eighteen States, namely:
The bringing of this unnecessary and Injurious
civil war to speedy and satisfactory conclu-
sion.
AS to the course OF opinion in this country,
the President is aware that perfect freedom to
comment upon all public events is in this ooun

and approved by the universal sense of the
