The News.

A dispatch appears in our Geographic COL
u,nns this week from Washington, which
looks very much rs though an effort would
he made hy the government to shield the
Indians that have been convicted of mur-
der. from the penalty which their crimes so
richly deserves. If that is the policy Of the
Government, it will find Jew sympathizers
in Minnesota in its action in that regard !;
and the people Of the State would stu'tlfy
themselves If they do not disregard Its N
functions, and deal out justice according to
their own standard measure. &c.,.
The news from England, on the WHOLE is
not unfavora bic to the cause of the, North.
Some excitement exists on account OF the
action of Commodore Wilkes, in, watching
for, and catching English merchantmen
while attempting to run the blockade but
there is still steadfast determination man
ifest to preserve neutrality.
The Southern sympathizers have entirely
failed to create change Of feeling in Parlia
ment, favorable to the rebel cause.
The news from France, however,, is no
so free from matter occasioning some appre
hension. The dispatches Of tho 9th sa1
that dispatches Of serious import have beer
submitted by the French Legation TO tn
Secretary Of State-that Cabinet meeting
was Immediately called, at which Genera
IIallrck was requested to be, and was pres
ent-at which meeting he gave it as hi
opinion that {" a foreign war, necessiating
levy en- masse Of our whole population
would not be an evil without large compen
sating benefits"
1t has not transpired what these dis
patches were, but we have no doubt the.
were Of the gravest importance, or the
would not have called forth such a remar
from the General in Chief.
Washington is full of rumors Of Cabine
and military changes. 1t is asserted tia
important military changes are to be mad
as preliminary to radical change in tn
method of conducting the war; that some {
the Cabinet officers regard it as a condem
nation of their former course, and Of cours
will resign.
Everything looks as If a great battle viii
soon be Tough. in the vicinity Of Winches
ter at which place the rebel headquarter
now are. =,
Important naval operations may soon b
looked for. All summer long vast prepare
tions have Leen making-a whole navy, c
the most powerful proportions has bee
built. 1t is not all for nothing, nor does j
oil mean defense.

.. While there is not the slightest appre-
hension Of opposition to the war, nor. are
these elections in the slightest degree to be
considered condemnatory thereto. it cannot
be denied that the effect will he bad abroad.
Nearly all the candidates. elected are Of op-

election will be construed by foreign powers,
and by the South, into reputation o: the
war, by those States.
Now, to that class of persons and papers

The Result--Its Effect, and what it

The elections in nearly all the Northern
States have gone Democratic. One woule
hardly have thought that at the close OF Blu
chanans administration that the Democrat.
would ever again carry an election. Blu
they have, and it means something. W.
take it, however, that it does not mean, "a
many Of the partizan journals have been If
the habit Of asserting,) that there is 70 be
any opposition to the prosecution Of the war
On the contrary, We are inclined to the be
lief that it means, whether With or without
cause, the people are dissatisfied with the
slowness Of progress in.crushing out this re
bellion, and consider any change. beneficial
1t cannot mean opposition to the war, 70.
every Democrat elected, save one, (Jim Al
lon, of Illnois,) is an out and out war man
Every single traitor, or sympathizer with
traitors, that dared be a candidate for Con-
grcss, or for any other position, has been in
gloriously defeated. with the single excep'
ton above mentioned
But the result Of the late elections mean
something else. From the day Fort Sam
t,r was bombarded, up to the close Of the
year 1861, almost every vestise Of party was
discarded by the people They saw the
country in peril, and they manifested their
patriotism and their love Of country by lay.
ing aside every consideration save her safety.
The people awoke and sprarg to the rescue Of
the Government, as one man. Republicans
forgot their name, and rushed TO arms
Democrats ceased to contend for principles
Of secondary importance, and stood shoulder
to shoulder with their late opponents
Such was the picture Of glorious patriotism
that made glad the hearts Of the people BY
the assurance Of speedy success it gave
We have before asscrted, and now maintain
that such was the proper course to pursue.
To oblitsratc party lines is the first step
towards making the people a united people
Then when every question is Of secondary
importance except one, and tho people arr
united on that one question, the sooner that
every shadow Of question that can have any
tendency 10 draw them apart again, is re-
moved the better. .SfSs 7a

Elections.


MrSNEsorA.-1n the First (Southern,
District, the contest between Window and
Ghatfield has been exceedingly close, the
whole Minnesota Valley giving large major.
tiles for Judge Chatfsld. Nevertheless
there is no reasonable doubt that Window
is elected though by greatly reduced ma.

In the Second (Northern) District, tht
contest, though very animated, was no,
hardly as close as in the First Lieutenant

EUROPEAN AFFAIRS,

The hurry Of important events in our
own country, has made our people gener-
ally Indifferent to, OF careless Of, the con-
temporary history of the Old World. But
careful observers think they can
see the gathering Of the elements
which: must soon light up all
Europe by the blaze Of war. The
German question, involving severance Of
Arstria and Prussia, with which Napoleon
is mixed up; the Italian question not yet
adjusted; the Mexican question, which has
developed the mutual distrust and
dissatisfaction Of the allies each with
the Others; the uncertain tenure Of
the bond Of cordially which Eng
land and France still keep up-these,
and the general gloom and discomfort
among the manufacturing operatives Of
England and the Continent, affected by the
American rebellion, are significant Of a
breach Of the peace, Of which, since We in
this country have got by the ears, the sup.
porters Of absolutism have boosted. Lei

walked up the enemy by. a mornings bullet
In. Our brigade had the honor ofopening the
battle to-day, We being placed in the advance.
The enemy was in the edge Of the brush on
both sides and aeross the Springfield road, and
General White arranged his forces along O
fence, lying close, while cur battery poured
shell among them. 4 rebel battery concealed
In the brush opened hot fire on US, and Cap
tain Davidson, assuming his second position,
poured fearful shower Of shell upon it, very
soon slencing those barkers. He was beyond
rife 1ange, and n our men could do nothing,
and were being badly exposed to the shell Of
the enemy, General White retired to his sec-
ond position, as sige1 occupied height on
our left, and opened his cannon,
