The Indian Troubles.

MILWAUKEE, Sept 10.
The st. Paul Pioneer and Democrat of the
10th inst, contains letter from Little Crow,
chief of the Sioux, to Col Sibley, in which he
says he wants to know in what way he can
make peace He also says that the white pris-
oners in his possession are as well treated as
his own people.
Letters from the Sioux chiefs Wabashowa
and Tropi are of friendly character. and de-
nounce Little Crow as the cause of all the diff
fculties. 1t is evident that the Sioux are
much divided and quarreling among them
selves. Col. Sbey requests Little Grow to
give up his prisoners, and tells Wabashawa
and Tropi that he will meet them and their
friends in open day, and adds: Il am power
full enough TO crush all who attempt to oppose
my march, and to punish those who have
washed their hands in innocent blood'
The Pioneer of the 10Th inst. SAYS that the
Chippewa embassy have returned, and that
they successfully settled all questions of dis
pute, and left the Indians in more cordial
and friendly state OF mind than has existed in
many years. Nearly all the chiefs were pres
ent and signed treaty of perpetual friendship
with Grow Wing on the 18th inst, whereupon
the whole band prepared to leave for their
homes, all satisfied. Hole-in-the-Day promis-
es 10 disperse his men.

coin. Col. John Lynch presided and the fol-
lowing officers were elected:
Francis Fessenden, Portland, Colonel.
Charles L. Shaw, 1t. Colonel,

felcitous in its selection of officers. Col. Fes-
senden is Captain of the 18th u S. Infantry,
and has smelt and felt powder during the war.
He was wounded at the battle of Shiloh. He
is son of Senator Fessenden. 1t Col. Shaw
has been on the staff of Major General Virgin
for some time, and was elected Captain of Co.
A, Portland Battalion. Major Tolman has
been very active in recruiting for the nine
months service. He was elected Captain of
Co. b, of the Portland Battalion.
The election of 1t. Col. Shaw and Major
Tolman leaves Co. A, in command of Lieut.
Jones, and Co. b. in charge of Lieut. Prince.
The 9th Regiment was organized by the
election of the following-Col. Lynch presid-
ing:
Rufus p. Tapley, Saco, Colonel

FURTHER ACCOUNT OF The BATTLE.
The Enemy Completely Routed.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 10.
Midnight-Forney's Press has Just received
highly interesting intelligence from McClel-
lan's army up to noon to day, which the editor
has kindly furnished to the associated press:
The substance of its special correspondence
is briefly as follows: Early last night the ene-
my commenced crossing Shepherdstown bridge
at two fords above aud below it. During
the night Mcclellan advanced battery and
shelled them from the surrounding hills
The dead and wounded found this morning is
evidence of the ability of our signal officers i'm
directing the fire of the guns.
On discovering the movement of the enemy,
early this morning. Gen. Peasanton was dis
patched in hot pursuit with two batteries and
two regiments of infantry, through gap of
high hills, and he succeeded in cutting Off a
large amount of their ammunition, supplies.
etc, besides small portion OF Gen. Maxcey
Greg's South Carolina brigade.
Pleasanton shelled the enemy with effect as
they passed through the ravine. The last
seen of the enemy they were flying in the di-
rection of Winchester, and it is supposed they
would retreat precpitately on TO Richmond.
Our entire army had crossd Antictam this
morning, and was massed between Antictam
Greek and the Potomac opposite Shepards-
town, and there was every evidence McClel-
Ian would cross the river.
The loss of Generals and field officers in the
army Is so large as to be unaccountable. The
rebel deserters represent the loss of the enc
my's officers equally severe.
1t was understood that Burnside has crossed
into Virginia via Harper's Ferry, moving on
the enemy. Deserters report that the recent
movements of the rebels in escaping into Vir-
ginla, was entirely conducted by Stonewall
jackson. The other chief officers, Lee, Long
street, etc., being there wounded or too much
fatigued to be efficient. They also state that
it was believed in the rebel army that force
of Federal troops had passed through Thor
oughfare Gap and intercepted their advance
and they supposed that this movement was
under the direction of Gen. Sigel, of whom
they stand in great dread.

PREsENTATIoN.-Sergt. FRED. II. SMALL.
Co. A, LIST Portland Battalion, was presented
yesterday afternoon with an elegant sword and
belt, by the employees of the British and
American Express Co., with which institution
he has been connected for the last seven years
The testimonial speaks well for the estimation
in which our gallant young townsman is held
by those who have had the best opportunities
for knowing him. The sword is one of the
best and upon the scabbard, neatly engraved,
"Sergt. F. II. Small; from the Employees of
the British and American Express Co."

RECRUITS ARREsTED.-Two of the recruits
from the town of Eliot, volunteers, were ar
rested yesterday afternoon by Deputy Marshal
Hawkes., on charge of girdling dozen or
twenty fruit trees, and setting fire three times
to wood pile very near dwelling house in
that town. The fellows thought that after
they had committed these msdemeanors they
would get clear with impunity, by enlisting;
but they have found out their mistake. They
were delivered to an officer from Eliot and
conveyed back to that place yesterday after
noon.

September Is, 1862.
Messrs. Editors Perhaps a few lines from
this place may not be altogether uninteresting
to you, or to the readers of your most excel
lent paper, the Portland Press. A number of
copies of the paper are taken here, and as far
as we know, it is universally admired but to
the subject of our communication
Last Sabbath was rather an eventful day to
the worshipers at the Brown-house, SO called,
in this place. Many of the people who wor-
ship in said house doubtless design to be spir-
itual worshipers, hence they want only the Cos
pei preached to them, they do not wish to hear
politics, tcar, or any thing else but the gospel; !;
well it SO happened last Sabbath that the Rev.
Mr.. Boardman of Pownal, occupied the desk in
the Brown-house, and either not knowing the
character of his congregation or mistaking his
subject for the gospel, or for some other reason,
or reasons, preached in the afternoon sermon
for the times, what one of his hearers called
lynch law sermon, but what would simply pass
for a war sermon. Now judge you of the
speakers CONSERVATION when as he was proceed
ing WIN MS DISCOURSE as ne WOulu IN MS own
desk at home, one after another arose and
left the house, and many of them, from their
hurry and hustle and their blood mantled
checks, showing unmistakeable signs that they
were not faint, until as it is said, the entire au-
dience-deacon and all-with the exception
of some three men beside the minister had dis
appeared. But the surprise did not cause him
to discontinue his discourse, for the good par
son, doubtless feeling clear conscience proce-
ded to the end of his discourse.
Now Messrs Editors there are many of us
here who are right glad that the Rev. Mr..
Boardman preached as he did and now that the
ice is broken we trust that the Rev. gentleman
who has recently come among us will do his
whole duty to his flock, for it is notorious that
some of his hearers are any thing but union
men at heart.
Should this alone meet the eye of the Rev.
Mr.. Boardman he will take notice that that
sermon was appreciated by some who were
not present. w.

ANOTHER EscAPE.-Mr. Farwelrs Kenne-
bunk Stage very narrowly escaped falling into
the Portsmouth river, Thursday morning. The
team of three horses became unmanageable
just after passing the draw of Portsmouth
Bridge-probably frightened by the approach
ing train-and SHE'D against the bridge, so vi
olently as TO break the lower rail and let one
forward wheel halt off the end of the plank
ing. This threw the baggage, etc, Off the top
of the stage into the river, and the hind wheel
being considerably larger than the front, reach
ed against the upper rail, which was new and
strong, and prevented further mishap. There
were several passengers inside, and had the
stage gone over, all must have been lost in the
deep surging tide Portsmouth Chronicle.

We never understood the advantage of buy
ing goods on the credit system, till we got the
following story from Wisconsin paper
in one of the interior villages of this State
is a tavern keeper, and in the same place an
honest old German blacksmith, of whom the
former relates that he employed him to do
some iron work, and paid him the cash for it
at the time, but afterwards learning that a
neighbor had similar work done "on time" for
a less price, he inquired the reason therefor.
and the reply was as follows you see
have 20 much charge on my book, and zum-
times lose zum, and 20 when ave goot cash
customer, seharge goot price. but ven
puts it on my book don't like to scharge 20
much, 20 if he no pay, l no lose 70 much"

LOUISVILLE, Sept. 10.
III p. M-There are very many reports in
circulation from down the road, the transmits
sion whereof by telegraph is prohibited by the
military authorities, who, however, entertain
the hope and belief that the preparations now
actively consummating, will not only insure
the safety of Louisville, but speedily clear
Kentucky of her rebel invaders.
At the surrender of Mumiordsville, on We'd
nesday morning, the rebels took about 1000
prisoners, whom they are reported subsequent

cation in RECORD to the number and move
ments of our troops. No information could
be more desirable to the enemy than this
Such publications have done much injury to
