They report the Indians as having MUIR
dered three men, Edward Russell, Charles
Batters and Martin Farbush.

found upset on the East bank of the river,
and the horses gone.
Indians were seen at Old Crossing, and
had fred upon man by the name of Hur-
die, shooting him in the wrist, but be es-
capped.

Letter from Lieut.. Gov. D0nnelly.

BELLE PLANE, Aug. Is.
Gov. RAMSEY | reached here few mo.
ments since, and propose to drive to Saint
Peter tonight. Along the road we met
fifteen teams with refugees from the scene
of the Disturbances
In this town there are COO people crowd
ed into stores, houses and hotels, living
upon the bounty of the people. The peo-
pie are themselves poor, and am informed
the supply of provisions in town is short. 1
would suggest that some steps be at once
taken to send here ample means for their
support, until the alarm is past, and they
are able to return to their homes. | fear
if this is not done, they will suffer.
l have conversed here with boy by the
name of John Wilson, from the Norwegian
Grove, fifteen miles southwest of ilender-
son. He was shot through the wrist. He
was out about noon on Saturday huntin .
for cattle saw number of Indians sitting
along a fence-can't say how many-one
pursued him, the ball passing through his
wrist. He fastened home, but found his
father, mother, three brothers and niece
all gone-no signs of any murders. 1t is
supposed they escaped to st. Peter.
| learn that the mounted men under
Major Cullen, to the number of probably
300, reported yesterday, Sunday morning,
to Colonel SibIey at st. Peter. Colonel
Crooks command spent last night in Hen
derson, and are probably by this time with
Col. Sibley. His force being thus united,
Col. Sibley will probably move tomorrow
morning to the relief of the Fort.
The country is in high state OF excite
ment, although there is less panic here than
there is nearer St. Paul. The people here
have more active ideas of distances and To-
calities, and do not therefore so readily De-
lieve everything told them.
Truly and respectfully, yours,
IGNATIUS DONNELLY.

fantry, 1886 cavalry, and two field pieces.
The fort was under command of Hart, of
the list Ohio-C0lonel Rodney Mason
regiment.
The Commercials Lexington despatch
says there is no occasion for alarm about
Morgan's position. A courier just arrived
reports them in a state of starvation. The
rebels are $4,000 in front and 10000 in
the rear, commanded by Bragg, Floyd, and
Kirby Smith.
Csssius M. Clay left today with bis

PETER.

William H. Shelley arrived on Wednes,
day, at 10 A. NJ, with dispatches from Gov.
Donnelly and Col. Sibley.
Sibley's forces started on Tuesday morn.
ing for Fort Ridgley.
Advices had been received that Colonel

for more troops.
Col. Flandrau has 12O men with him at
Mankato, besides the resident citizens.
Col. Sibley would reach the Fort during

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON
From the Rappahannock.
SUCCESSFUL sKIRMIsHING.
CHARLES j. INGERSOLL OF PHILADEL,
PHIA ARRESTED.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The recent ex-
pulsion of newspaper correspondents from
the army of Virginia, and the order of the
Government forbiddiDg the transmission of
intelligence from that quarter over the tele-
graph, has rendered the collection of relia-
bic news extremely difficult and almost use
less. Skirmishing has been going on to
greater or less extent during the past three
days, during which several attempts were
made by the rebels to cross the river, but
they we're each time successfully repulsed,
and in one instance, quite number oil. pris-
oners were captured. The troops are in
good spirits.
PHILADELPHIA, August 25.-The Bulle-
ten has information from gentleman who
left the Rappahannock yesterday morning,
that our troops have had frequent skirmis6.
es with the rebels while falling back from
the Rapidan. The losses on either side are
not serious.
General Pope holds the railroad bridge,
as well as two commanding positions on the
opposite side, which the rebels have assailed
several times. Our troops are distributed
along the river, and have resisted all as
saults. They will be able to maintain their
position until o junction with the other ar.
my corps enables them to resume the offen-
sive. The rebels are endeavOring to turn
our right, and get in the rear by the way of
WarrentOn.
The reported capture of 1000 rebels, by
General Sigel, is not confirmed.
The Bulletin also has report that Hon
Charles j. Ingersoll has been arrested for
language used at Democratic meeting, in
Independence Square, on Saturday night.
Mr.. Ingersoll was arrested by United States
Deputy Marshal Schuyler, and put under
bonds to answer.
New YORK, Aug 25.-The steamer st.
Marys from New Orleans arrived this af>
ternoon. The health of New Orleans is
good; weather very hot. Among the pas
sengers is Count De Mejan, French Consul.
A Rappahannock correspondent OF
Philadelphia paper states, that on the
morning OF the 2lst the rebels opened a
battery on our center, and continued vig-
orously to throw shot and shell for several
hours. A little higher up it was discovered
that the enemy had, during the night,
erected bridge over the river lat this point
the most brilliant and successful affair of
the day is reported to have occurred.
WASHINGTON, August 26.-Messengers
from Virginia, to-day, report there was an
engagement at Warrepton, Virginia, yester.
day, in which our forces were successful,
having driven the enemy out of the town.
We were still holding it at latest advices.
The rebel forces which had been engaged
in the recent fights were mainly composed of
cavalry.

He did not adhere strictly to his notes,
but remarked, according to the Interpreter,
that six years ago, Ink-pa'du-tah had kill
ed many white people, but the late murders
were much worse, He met brother of
Ink. tab, afterwards, at the Agency,
and killed him with bis own hand. In re-.
gard to the recent raid, he said that he
heard there was trouble at the Lower Agen-
cy, and knowing that it was not in his
power to prevent it, be thought the best
thing he could do was to save the lives of
the people at the Upper Agency. He had
been member of the church for several
years, and that his religion taught him
what to do, and that the Great Spirit ap-
proved bis conduct, etc.
At the conclusion of his remarks COL
lection was taken for him, amounting to
forty, one dollars.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE, !
Washington, August 20.
SIR..Having informally understood from
you that British subjects who had merely de-
clared their intention to become citizens of the
United States had expressed apprehensiOns
der the late requisition of the War Depart
ment, have the honor to acquaint you that
none but citizens are liable to military duty in
this country, and that this Department has
never regarded an alien who may have merely
declared his intention to become citizen, as
entitled to passport, and consequently have
always withheld from persons of that charac
ter, any such certificate of citizenship.
have the honor to be, with high cOnsidera-
ton, Sir, your Obedient servant.
The Hon. VIM. Stuart, &C.
We learn that an erroneous impression
exists in the minds of some of our readers
that the letter of MIR. Seward, published
yesterday, exempts all foreign born citizens
who have not been fully naturalized from the
draft
This is mistake. The laws of the sew
eral States are to be resorted to in deter
mining who of their citizeps are exempt
In most of the Eastern States no foreigner
enjoys the rights of citizenship who has moi
been naturalized pursuant to the laws of the
United States; therefore Mr.. Stewards let
ter viii furnish the true rule Tor the regula-
ton of the draft.
10 this State, however, il is otherwise
Persons who have declared their intentions
to become citizens of the United States ar
entitled to exercise all the rights of citizens
of the State, and constitute a part of the
State Militia from which the draft will b,
made.
