general POLL At Perrrrlue.

After the sun had gone down on the bloody
field of PeIryVills, sad the gloom Of evening
oTerhung the scens Of carnage and death, even
then, at intervals, bodies Of the two armies
would occasionally come in collision. B-i-adiar-
General ClaiOorneis command, with which was
General Polk, just ct nighttall came upon an In
diana regiment. General Polk was some dis
tanee in advance Of our troops, and suddealy
found himself in the very midst Of the Indian
ians, who were firing briskly upon Clsib0Tne's
columns. General Polk, seiz!Dg the Indiana
colonel by the shoulder, demanded Why lie was
firing upon his friends. The colonel saiG thst
he did not know that he was guilty Of sCch a
blunder, and asked, A" who are you l' IN
show you who l am" said General Polk. end
then raising in his stiTTuDs he gave the order %
the Indianians "a Cease firing ;" Saying to the
colonel, "yOu shall st once hear from me- sir %
Polk rode quietly away, and as soon as he was
out Of sight, with accelerated velocity, came
dsshing 1t hesdlOng speed 20 the spot where
General Claiborne stood. Pointing to the Yam
KEGS ne exclaimed, Let them have it, boys,
they are Yankees I've been there"
General Polk said afterwards that he counted
not less than fifteen balls as they penetrated his
back while hs rode away from the Indianians.
We are hsPpy to advise our readers that on his
arrival at this place General Polk had entirely
recovered from his imagined wounds; in fact,
he wears charmed lite He has never been

From the St. Joseph Journal, Oct. 2s.I
The steamer West Wind came in from Omaha
early Sunday afternoon, having been detained d
about three days by high winds.
The CfhceTs of the Wind inform us that they
encountered terrific snow storm coming down,
about 8 o'clock Friday morning, in Nebraska
Bend The snow was binding, aud completely
enshrOuded tho boat as we'll as "all out Of doors
in curtain Of white The contrast between
the snow and green leaves on the trees was very
fine, and exhibited a natural panorama seldom
Witnessed in this latitude.
The cabin of the West Wind was pretty well
crowded with passengers, among whom were
several Pixies Peskers, including S. S Curtis,
Esq postmaster at Denver, and son of General
S. T. Curtis commander Of the department..
Young Curtis was on his way to his fathers
headquarters at st. Louis.
Oae of the Peakers had live pet deer, cap
tured in the wilds of Nebraska, which no was
bringing home to place in some park.
The Wind brought down between / 200 and
500 sacks of wheat and barley, taken on in
Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri, aud $50 bales OF
hemp from Forrest City. She met the Florence
sounding on Sonora bar, only about ons hun
dred and twenty miles above here, and the
Omaha aground about forty miles this side of
there.
The water is becoming very low, navigation
difficult, and it is very doubtful whether the
Florence viii be sble to goi through to Sioux
City, her destination.

NEW YORK, October 29.-Ihe- Herald has
from its CORES pOndent very full account Of the
late battle on she Charleston and Savsnnah rail-
road, referred to in the dispatches of Bssure-
gard:
" Our troops proceeded from Hilton Head on
the night Of the 2lst and were conveyed in if
teen guLb1ats and whr steamers to MAcksy's
Point, at the confluence cf the POcatsgO and
Broad river. The object of this movement was
to make 4 complete Reconnaissance of Broad
river and its tributaries, &c test practically the
rspidity and safety with which landing could
be effected, and to learn the strength Of the
enemy on the mainland guarding the Tsilrosd
between Charleston and Savannah, and TO
accomplish so much Of the destruction of the
railroad as could be done in single day. In
this attempt our forces were victorious. Having
met the enemy in large numbers, they drove
them across the Pocataligo river. Our loss
however, was very severe. Our soldiers and
sailors fought spleHdidly and our batteries were
worked with great skill and effect
The Union forces were under command Of
Bigadier. General J. NJ. Brannan, Gen. Ferry
being second in command. The rebels were
commanded by Colonel Walker, until our arrival
at P cotsligo bridge, when BeGuIegard, who
had list arrived from Charleston, commanded
in person. Fresh troops rapidly arriving from
Charleston TO reinforce the rebels, cur troops
were WltbGraTn IN nne OrQer, Oenerai I erRy re-
naming on shore at Macksy's Point until the
last man had embarked, when the buildings
which had been occupied by rebel picket8 were
destroyed
Our loss was fifteen killed, one hundred
wounded and two missing. The troops engaged
were the 4zth Pennsylvania, Oh Connecticut,
Ali New Hampshire, Ssh PeRnsylvsnia, 9TH
Connecticut, 76lh Pennsylvania, Sd New Hamp-
shire, a detachment of the 1st Massachusetts
cavalry, section of the lst United States srtll-
lery, company E, Sd United States artillery,
% Rhode Island srtllery, and the New York
volunteer engineers. Colonel Chatfeld, Of the
9Th Connecticut, and Leut-Colonel Spidell, of
the same, were among the severely wounded"
The New York Times says about the late
battle at Pocotsligo; " Instead of the rebels
gaining victory, our troops defeated them in
the very hsrd-fought engagement which took
place a week ago to-day drove them from both
of their chosen positions, and compelled them
to retreat in haste across the Pocotaligo river at
which they destroyed the bridge IN the rear to
prevent further pursuit, and, although General
Mitchell did not, on this occasion, succeed in
carrying out the magnificent programme which
he had c nciiTed, he did make complete recon-
noisssnce Of the region between the island Of
Port Royal and the Charleston railroad, and
administered to the rebels thorough chastise-
ment."

PARIS, Friday, October 10, l662-A moEtk
ago, L Informed you thst the Mexican eIpedi-
ton had been augmented to eighty tboussnd
men, and that it was a fixed object Of the French
government to remain ia Mexico long enough
| to build up some sort Of government which
should be able to offer an insuYmountable obsts-
Gle TO the extension of the Anglo American and
the Protestant race South. Up to the present
moment, about fifty thousand men have been
sent from France to take part in this expedition,
and am stih assured, through private chan
nels, that the number Of men will be carried to,
c0,O00 or even more, if found necessary TO carry
out the object in view. From the start 1 was
informed that the French desired to make of
this Mexican expedition q serious affair, and
circumstances have singularly aided in convert
ing desires into fixed determination. l hsve
endesvored to keep pace with the developments
Ct the programme, and to keep you advised Of
the various changes as they took place. Under
ordinary Circumstances the sending Of S0,00O
or even sc, ,000 men to Mexico, accompanied By
powerful feet, when il is known that neither
the eTmy nor the feet will meet an enemy to
contend with, would be for the government and
people of the United States grave event it
may not, however, be so now. 1t may even be
that the government Of the United States de-
sires that q strong power should be created in
Mexico, in order to step the progress Of the
Southern States south. The SUI sct is none the
less sn important one, and ought to receive all
your attention.
The French feet in the Gulf of Mexico has
suffered from the yellow fever to an extent which
the public of France do not suspect. Every
mail brought from Vera Cruz by a French
steamer is first examined by the government
authorities the correspondence of all the Jour
nails is carefully scanned and nothing of an in
quietng nature IS allowed to go to the public |
through the press. But am told that the losses
by death have been so numerous that there were
not sailors enough to ia ihe vessels cut of the |
port of Vera Cruz, and that the blockade of the |
other Mexican ports was raised The marine /
Office is now sending cut large det2chments of |
sailors to fill 10 the ranks

IMPORTANT FROM mINNEsOTA.

From the Mankao Independent 22dI
We lett Camp Release, near Lacqu PaTle, on
Saturday last, at which time all was quiet, and
no apprehension Of further difficulties with the
Indians existed in any quarter.
The white aud mixed breed csptives, it was
thought had all, or about all, reached camp
altogether probably numbering over two hun
dred prisoners. There are from one hundred
and fifty to two hundred lodges of Sioux In
dams encamped adjoining Colonel Sbley, a
considerable number of whom had been identi-
fed by captives and others as participants in
the several fights and in the murders and out
RACES committed at the agencies and on the
frontier. a drum-head couTt-martisl had been
in session for some ten days and was still IN
progress when We left. New arrests were made
daily, and we have no neubt but that the Indian
encampment would be throughly purged of ali
the rascals guilty Of participation in the out
break.
The number Of Indians was daily increasing,
by desertion from Little Crow. On Saturday
(the day We left), party, we heard estimated
as high ss forty-fve lodges, would be in under q
flag OF truce, to give themselves up for the pur-
pose of saving their families.
Little Grow, at latest adTices, bad been de-
serted by nearly all bis followers, had abandoned
his trains, mounted his women and children
upon horses, and was making most precipiste

The latest news from him was received by Mrs
Higgins, wife of ; missionary murdered at
LaeGui Parle, who reported him some one hun
dred and twenty miles above Lacqui Parle, fee
ing as sbOve stated.
The Indians appear to be thoroughly subdued
and their only hope now seems 10 be in pass
ing Themselves eff as friendly to the whites "
and non-parteipants in the outbreak. Many
admit participation in the several fights, but
claim to have done so through compulsion.
In cur opinion the war is over We do moi
believe there is an Indian who would dare raise
bis hand against a white man within two hun

A Deserter from, the Yankee Fleet.

From the Charleston Courier Oct Il
a deserter from the Yankee feet was brought
to the city Saturday afternoon in charge of an
officer from Camp Stone. He gave his name as
Alexander Russell and says he is from Nova
Scotia He deserted last Thursday morning
from the Isaac P Sn, p, Captain Dsnnison, on
board of which he Va. engaged as a seaman,
and at the time of his deseTtien was lying inside
OF StonO bar. On Thursday he was sent ashore
with nine 6thers to kill COW on one of the small
islands, and, taking advantage of the occasion
made some excuse to the rest to go short dis
tance, when he came and delivered himself up
TO our pickets. At the time ne left there were
four vessels lying outside the bar off StouO, be-
sides the Isaac p. Smith, inside the ber. He
knew the names Of only two Of those outside
the Marblehead and the Wine Harbor
Before be left he was acting as assistant quar-
sermsster, and overheard a conversation between
Captain Dsnnison aud another officer on the
poop deck of his vessel IN which one of the
officers stated that an attack on Charleston
wCuid be made on the arrival Of two iron clads
and soms additional vessels with an expected
reinforcement to the land forces of some seven
teen thousand men. They expected to make the
attack by land and water between the lst aud
lOsh of November. Their light draught guu-
boats were 70 run Up the SOno, shell the woods
aud attack the batteries along the banks, while
the iron clads aud larger vessels are to come up
and attack Fort Sumter and the city.
Tne officers en- board, he says, did not appear
to be at all sangUire Of success. Should the
effort fail it was thought by them that the reac-
Eion in New York would be so overwhelming
as to lead to au almost unanimous demand fer
peace,
The deserter, who appears to be an Intelligent

ing deceived him while under the influence of
liquor to ship on board tie Isaac P Smith He
states that he bad just previously returned from
a voyage from Cienfuegos to New Brunswick,
Nova Scotia, On = vessel commanded by Captain
d. The latter being offered the command of his
present vessel, he induced most Of bis old crew,
under pretence of going on another voyage, to
sign articles, the nature and contents Of which
they appeared not to know. Under these cir
cumstsnees and having parents in Nova Scotia,
Russell determined to desert the first opportu-
nifty that offered, which occurred as ebeve stated
He says he does not wish to take up arms on
either side, and particularly against the South,
as he always believed them to be fighting only
for their rights. He says thai 4 large number

writes as follows:
I learn that We have l0st one Of the most vsf-
uable Cfieers in the District of Tennessee, in
the resignation Of Msjcr Thomas /. Susad,

that General Bragg assigned to General Prics

sent Dr.. Blackburn, of bis sts-I, ts Richmond
20 procure arms for these troops, sld his Inds-
