failures Of past plans teach chattering do
tazds ard slave-bitten bigots no wisdom.
Men like Davis, Crittahden, and Wiek1itfe

The Union is worthless in their sight

they tottcr about the halls Of Congress
while the nation struggles in deadly hug
with dagger armed treason, and as they
watch the terrible conflict, cry out to
the combatants, "oh, take care least you

The mental and moral madness which
impels portion Of our countrymen to re-
sist all efforts to rid the Republic of the sin
and curse Of slavery, will be profound
wonder to historians in the future. How
blindness could have been, in this age, so,
complete; how partisan hate could have
been so controlling, and how the laws Of
Heaven and earth could have been so inso-
lently det1ed, they Will never eease to In
quire, and the inquiry will never cease to
provoke their astonishment There can
be no doubt Of th. verdict that posterity,
removed from the excitemeDts and the pas
sions Of the hour, will render. Not we
whose efforts square with what the best
civilization and the highest morality
teach, but the apologists and defend
ers Of despotiEm, WHO labor for the re-
storation Of the barbarous maxins Of the
Dark Ages, have cause to fear the judg-
ment Of those who come after us. Many
pro-slayery Senators and Representatives
who now: tickle crowds BY their appeals to
prejudice and hate, and move multtudez
by their manifestations Of partisan zeal,
will be set down as infamous for their de-
fences Of wrong; and what a sweeping
condemnation will be visited upon those
whose folly permitted them to be deluded
by the baseness to which their leaders re.
sorted! It it always shortiyed triumph
that the apostles of evil enjoy.

The Chattanooga Re6ez Of the 10th says:
The city was alive with rumors yesterday
concerning the movements of our army in

and uncertain character to even justify an
opinion as to what has been done in that quar-
ter. We obtain the following information
Of brilliantly successful engagement Of por-
ton Of our troops with a Yankee force at
Har syil}e, Sumner county, through priyate

kindly furnished us BY that gentleman. On
Sunday last, two regiments Of Hanson's brig

We hear of the sacrifices Of feeling that
the Northern organs Of secession are
making in supporting the Government
in its war for the Union We quote
paragraph or two from the secesh organ
here only to show that the "feel-
ing" that is sacrificed in inditing
sentences like the following must be
exceedingly sensitive, or that the support
Of the Government is very feeble. Says
the Times Of yesterday:
The policy Of the Government is to stimu-
late pillage and slave insurrection, and the
Times knows that the practices Of our sol
diers, even when guilty Of the most infamous
outrages, have been upheld by the precepts
Of the Abolition press and the encouragement
Of Abolition Congressman who have cried
"havoc, and let slip the dogs Of war r"-Tsnass.
And thus It is TINT all the stupendous inter
ests Of this vast country, and the great expert.
ment Of republican government, are made the
sport Of the Abolition conspirators in and
about the administ ration at Washington.

ers OF the Northwest to devote each q por-
ton Of his arabic landau acre or tWo-to

those who have paid attention to this crop,
is q sufficient guaranty that others may

Major Kemble, paymaster Of the army, ar
rived at St. Paul, from Fort Randall, on the
12th. He informs the Pioneer that the cap
in the hands Of the Indians hare been rescued,
and are now at Fort Pierre. The following
account is given Of their release:
A party Of friendly Indians went to the San
tee camp, on Beaver Creek, where they found
the White Lodge and Sleepy Eyes, with seven
white prisoners, five girls and two women,
one daughter Of Mr.. Jacob Price, Of Illinois.
Tney offered seven horses for them. The San
tees refused to sell, thinking they had been
sent by tie whites The friendly whites told
them it was either fight or trade-if they
were not delivered up they would fight and
take them and their horses. This is the story
Of the Indians, but it is most likely they got
the prisoners without much difficulty, and
conducted them to Fort Pierre.
Major Kemblc also reports extensive pre-.
parations among the Sioux Of the Missouri

report at that time 80 hastily executed. E7-
