4 Confession.

1t has been stated, we think, that the
Indian outbreak and massacre of women
and children in Minnesota WAS the indirect
if not the positive work of the rebel lead
ers. Monstrous as the assertion is, it is
true by their own Confession The proof
is in the following paragraph, which We
cut from the Richmond Uisjaich, OF the
24th instant:
As WE EyPEcriD-Th Yankees are about
to send their army captHred at Harper's Ferry
against the Indians. Has the Government no
means OF retaliation for such breach OF faith !:

Relief for Refugees on the NIlnne-
syAsAEasN sofa River. sYP I'd fAkP

The Committee for the relief OF Refugees
in st. Peter, the principal point Of refuge
for the inhabitants of the country deyasta-
ted by the Indians, have issued an earnest
appeal in behalf of the widow, the father
less and the houseless, who have been left
entirely destitute by the cruelty of the saw
ages. AT one time it was estimated there
were 4, 900 of these classes in st. Peter,
and q large portion still remain. The
Committee say
Our position is this We were appoint
ed a Committee of Relief, and find with
the utmost we can possibly do, we cannot
possibly meet the present wants of the ref
ugees. Food we can give them for time,
but our ability to furnish clothing is ex-
hausted-women and children are crying
for clothing, shoes, or anything to keep
them warm. Crowded in some buildings,
sickness has broken out, especially among
the children. Some ten days after the
alarm and rush to town families began to
return to their desOlated homes and save
what was left the next morning, howev-
er, a band of Indians on horses dashed up
on settlement eighteen miles distant and
killed four men and the families in that
region rushed back to town. Last We'd
nesday morning, sixteen miles in another
direction, five persons were attacked, while
at work in the field, and killed. Another
rush of families took place. The result is
that for the present these settlements are
broken up-the women and children are
here. The crops in many cases are utter
ly gone houses pillaged, and starvation
seems before them, even if they could re-
turn with safety. A long cold winter will
soon be upon us. Many women whose
husbands have been killed must remain
here, with their little ones, for the winter;
some have gone to friends farther east !;
but there is mass of people that cannot
go-what to do for them we know not
We could relate cases heart-rending in
their details, but we forbear. The cup of
sorrow and suffering to many is overflow

Friends of humanity Christians, Breth-

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION AT ANOKA

Correspondence of the Pioneer gt ao,inh
f.-.- -... ANoKA, September %, 1862.
The Republican District Convention,
comprising Anoka and two or three adj
joining counties, met at Anoka to-day, at
two o'clock P. M, for the purpose of put
ting in nomination a candidate for State
Senator and two Representatives. AS has
ever been the practice, Hennepin East Cor
st. Anthony was permitted to present the
candidate for senatorial honors without
opposition, and David Heaton, Esq, of St.
Anthony, was nominated by reclamation.
An attempt was then made, contrary to all
precedent, to 60 into the nomination for
candidates for the upper counties, by ballot,
clearly with the design of controlling the
whole thing according to the slate made
up by St. Anthony. Exceptions were i'm
mediately taken by the Anoka delegation,
and Dwight Woodbury., Esq, was then
nominated by reclamation. eea,a .ats.
The matter was then pressed to ballot
upon the nomination of a candidate from
Sherburne county, and, contrary to the
expectations of those who urged the meas
ure, their pet - candidate was defeated,
and Mr.. Croswell, of Elk River, was
elected the nominee by four majority.
The next move on the board was made by
one Of the St. Anthony delegation, in the
form of a resolution, that I" this Convention
dOnot think it necessary for the Legisla-
ture to hold session next winter" In
offering this resolution, the gentleman gave
as his reason that Mr. Heaton requested
him, this morning, to get such resolution
through the Convention, if possible. He
soon found such marked opposition to such
proceedings, that he withdrew his motion
for the adoption of the resolution. . -
The. next move was resolution of in
structions to the legislative delegation, to
support Alexander Ramsey for United
States Senator, offered by one of Mr..
Heaton's friends. This attempt also met
with spirited opposition; but, after consid-
cradle sparring, it was pressed to a vote,
and negatived by four to one at least.
Finding that there were others present be-
side the st. Anthony delegation, they con

BEN MCCULLOUGH.

General Ben McCulloch, who was
killed in the battle Of the Ozark Mount
aims, wa, Tennesseean by birth, and q
vagabond mud traitor by nature He
went to Texas in 1885 with Crockett,
fought the Mexicans, and afterwards the
Indians; settled in Texas, and took part
in the border quarrels between Texasand
Mexico. The first act OF treason for
which he became known was committed
in Deeember, l942, when he made part
of band which attacked the town of
Mer. The Texans were in turn threat
ened by vastly superior force, under
Gen. Ampudia; and in order to secure
their retreat, Fisher, the Colonel in COM
mand, sent McCulloch with detach-
ment to gather horses and mules from
from the surrounding country and bring
them into town, McCulIoch got the
horses, but persuaded the men under his
command to desert and leave their COM
panions to their fate, who were decmat-
ed by the Mexic ans, and long imprisom-
ment suffered by the survivors.
McCulloch explained away this act of
treacbery, was forgiven, and was after
wards member of the Texan Legislature,
ranger and spy in the Mexican war; in
1855 United States Marshal of Texas,
and since the outbreak of this rebellion
traitor to his country. He was q
dashing partisan leader, bat not good
