The Sioux in Stearms County.

Gen. MITCHELL, of st. Cloud, gives the
following account of the ravages of the
Sioux in Stearns county:
ST.. CLOUD, Sept 3d. 1862
Governor ALEX RAMSEY:
Capt. Mccoy has just returned from his ex-
pedition up Sank River, and reports a small
band Of eight or ten Indians as having passed
near Richmond, and firing a number of shots
into two or three houses still occupied by the
settlers, fortunately without injuring any one,
and then passed on towards Paynesville. Capt.
Mccoy, without stopping at Richmond passed
on in the direction the Indians had taken, and
at six o'clock was within four miles of Paynes-
vile, when he halted and camped tor the night,
having travelled thirty miles in less than eight
hours.
He also reports that he saw no Indians. but
after having passed Richmond about three
miles, they passed burning houses, hay stacks,
and grain stacks, all the way; also dead hogs,
turkeys and chickens. They took nothing with
them, but seemed determined to destroy every
thing as they passed along.
Very respectfully, etc.,
-'j H' ~ t II. Il. MITCHELL

Forming the New Army.

While our Union army has now illustra-
ted its splendid qualities in the battle fields
of Maryland another army is rapidly being
created in front of Washington. The new
levies still continue to pour into the Capt.
tai at the rate of several thousand a day,
and as fast as they arrive they fall into the
hands Of Gen. CASEY, under whose direc-
ton the new army is now being drilled and
disciplined. They could not possibly be
undera better instructor than he, to whom
is due the credit Of having formed the
army Of the Potamac last year, and whose
Infdatry Tactics are now officially adopted
in the service. There win be ample work
for them when the Fall campaign in vir-
GINA opens, with d new and resistless
march on Richmond. r. : -, :; - 80

The Presidents PROCLAIM atfOns.

We publish, at length, the Presidents
proclamation of emancipation to all persons
held as slaves in the States, that, on the
first of January next, are in rebellion
against the Government; and calling upon
the military and naval authorities to take
cognizance of, and observe, the provisions
of law relating to the confiscation of rebel
property, and the return of fugitive slaves.
; We also publish, among the telegraphic
dispatches, a proclamation subjecting reb-
els, and their aiders and abettors, to the
operations of martial law; and suspending
the writ of babeas corpus as to all such
persons held and detained by military au-
thorities. 9da ~ a5ioh3 n1- fn.
AS to the first proclamation, there will
be essential and honest differences of opin-
ion. ii Our. own Judgment is, that twas
demanded by the popular sentiment Of the
loyal States, and that its effect will be ben
eficial, both at home and abroad. - ,aa,.
AS to the second proclamation, there
can be no differences Of opinion. The eff
forts Of the loyal States have been seri-
ously interfered with, and impeded, by
traitors as pestilent as those in open rebel
lion; and this proclamation properly pro
yides for their summary arrest and punish
ment. AL will agree, to the justice and
necessity of the Isterp, impartial exercise O
this power, BY the Government. for it,

Our readers will be gratified to notice
that our paper, which has worn shabby
look, for while back, comes to them this
morning in a new dress. We are very
happy to give them the comfort of new
type, and grateful to them that their pat
ronage makes the necessary expenditure
for this purpose, pleasure, and not bur
then. A-g
With the change of type, we make a
curtailment of title. A double name is an
Inconvenience, of which we have long been
tired and needless one, in our case !;
for the paper is almost universally known
and designated by the shorter title we now
give it-THE ST. PAUL PIONEER.
1t is customary, on occasions of this
kind, to go into Qualifications of the past,
and to make protestations for the future.
The good public, who are our friends and
patrons, have saved us this necessity, by
the faithfulness of their friendship, and the
hberality of their patronage; thus testify
ing, in the strongest and most acceptable
manner, their confidence in the integrity
OF the paper, and their appreciation of it's
enterprise. This confidence and apprecia-
ton were never so plainly shown as within
the past year. Every department of our
business is in excess of any previous
year; and this, in spite Of the stringency
of the times, and the gloomy prospect of
affairs.
The PIONEER was the first paper printed
in Minnesota and it is the only one now
published of the early Territorial press. 1t
has been favorite journal from its start
and has enjoyed larger legitimate patron
age than any of its contemporaries. Its cir
culation and business were never so large
as now; and, approaching the public conf
dence which this fact implies, we have no
further protestation to make for the future,
than to say, that it will remain, as it has
always been, enterprising, Independent,
and loyal.

Tho senatorial Question.

Governor RAMSEY has failed in his par.
pose for calling the extra session. The
Legislature decline taking the responsible
ity of electing him Senator. All the iniu-
ence Of his powerful patronage fails to Sc
cure their subserviency to bis wishes.
When the rebel war broke out, and the
Governors of nearly all the other States
called extra sessions, for the purpose OF
giving efficient aid to the General Govern
ment to crush the rebellion, Governor
RAMSEY refused to follow their example.
There was no Senatorial issue then pend
ing; but now, when having great capital
of military patronage in his hands, and
seeing that his only chance for the Sena-
torship is in an extra session, he does not
hesitate at taking responsibility, and pros
titutes his Office that he may defraud the
people. He evidently believes that this is
his last aud only chance and cannot, even
now consent to give up this forlorn hope
His special mouth-piece, the st. Anthony
Neacs, in its last issue, says: -...sla4
We do not know who would be the choice of
the present Senate and House. But we do be-
ieve, that they would more correctly represent
the wishes of the masses of the people of Min
nesota, than a legislature chosen under all the
assiduous and questionable appliances which
will be brought to bear upon the election of
their successors.
This avowal shows that the Governor
is afraid of the popular verdict, and he has
reason to be so. If he fails now to fitch
his way into the United States Senate,
there will be but poor chance of his ever
reaching that long coveted goal Of his
ambition. 9 -si

CAMP AT WooD LAKE, Sept. %. {
Col H. H. SHELLEY, Commanding Indian Elk
petition:
COLONEL: / have the honor to submit
the following report Of the movements of
the regiment in the engagement with In
dams this morning
Immediately after the first alarm was
given, the men were called out and form
ed on their company grounds to await or
ders these soon came, and the regiment,
with the exception of one company, march
ed to support the gun, which was under
the command of Captain Hendricks. Capt.
Gilfillan's company was at the time on
guard, but he was ordered to place one
half of his men in the rifle pit, and throw
the others out on the extreme right as
skirmishers ie ot-at' 81
After the gun had obtained position,
on the northeast side Of the camp, facing
the brook ravine, I heightened the line to
the right of, and in advance of the gun,
and gradually advancing the entire line,
obtained a good position from which to
charge upon the Indians in the ravine.
Hendricks was ordered to move forward
with the gun. Here we were joined by
Captain Grants company, 9th regiment,
and charge was ordered, which brought
us to the ravine, driving the Indians from
their shelter. Two companies were order
ed to support the gun which had advanced
to our right, while the remainder pursued
the Indians to the other side of the ravine
ALI were soon called in and formed around
the gun, and from there returned t1

The Rebel Officers Gen. Sibley ana
Col. Steele.

By way of New Orleans, we have intel
ligence of the death of the Rebel officers
Gen. Sibley and Col. Steele, who were as
sassinated near Ell Paso del Norte, in Texas
Ga place formerly occupied by United
States troops as a permanent garrison or
camp by their own eXasperated men, af-
ter being thoroughly defeated by the Union
forces from California Gen. Sibley is H.
II. Sibley, native of Louisiana, and a
graduate of West Point He entered the
academy in 1888 and graduated in 1898,
without distinguishing himselfin any mark
ed manner Among his classmates were
the Union Gems. Irwin Mcdowell and W.
II. Barry, and the Rebel Gems. Beaure-
gard and Hardee. With the latter, in
July, 1888, Sibley was appointed Second
Lieutenant in the I'd Dragons, then a
comparatively new regiment, having been
first organized in 1886. In March, 1910,
he was made First Lieutenant, and, with
this rank, he acted as Regimental Adju-
tant from 1S41 until 1S47, in which year
he obtained his company. Directly after
getting his commission as Captain he was
engaged, with his company, in the affair
at Medelin, near Vera Cruz, and was brew
eted Major for gallant and meritoriols con-
duct, March 25, 1S47. In 1861 he sue
ceeded to majority in the LIST Dragons,
but resigned before he received his COM
mission, and joined his fortune with that
of his brother Rebels. He has at last reap
ed the reward of treason. Gen. Sibley
was the principal Rebel in New Mexico.
He was in that Territory when he resigned,
and has been kept there ever since. He
won barren victory over Gen. Candy at
Valverde, which has been effectually wiped
out by his defeat, and his untimely death
at the hands of his own misguided parti-
sans. 'at t9"t
Colonel Steele, who was killed with Gen.
Sibley, is William Steele, formerly Captain
in the same regular regiment with Sibley.
He was q native of New York, and gradua-
ted at West Point in 1S43 On the 1st Of
July of that year he was appointed breyet
Second Lieutenant in the Second Dragons.
While yet young officer, he distinguished
himself in the battle of Contreras, in the
storming of Ohapultepec, and in the battle
of Chapultepec. For the former he receiv-
ed the brevet of First Lieutenant, and fol
the latter that of Captain; both for gallant
and meritorious conduct. In the conflict
in the City of Chapultepec he commanded
his company. His commission as full First
Lieutenant was dated June, 184S. In
1S49-50 he was regimental Adjutant; in
November, 1851, he became full Captain
and in May, 1861, he became traitor
while with his regiment in New Mexico.

More Indian Murders i'm Meeker and
Mcleod Counties.

We learn that messenger from Captain
Strout arrived in town yesterday, bring
ing the news that the Indians, on Monday
last, murdered the family of Mr.. Samuel
White, residing on Lake Addie, immediate
ly west of Glencoe. On the same day, Mr..
Cross, of Hutchinson, was killed, near Ce-
dar, and the report from Captain Strout
slates further that Greenleaf was also
attacked. Captain Strout sends for rein
forcements, and states that the people of
that section had hoped the Legislature
would do something to relieve them from
their present troubles. ~ -.
The Captain says further, that the In
dams have got into the Big Woods Should
this prove correct, WATERFOWL, Rockford,
Young America, and other towns in the
woods, are liable at any day to receive an
attack from the cowardly red skins.
Immediately upon the reception Of the
dispatch from Captain Strout, we learn
that Governor Ramsey called upon Gener-
al Pope, who stated that reinforcements
would be on their way in sufficient num-
bers to protect the settlers from the dep
relations of the avages.-Daily, Sept. %.
General Mcclellan and, the Maryland
Battles. '...,.
The New York Times, which lately
joined in the hue and cry against General
Mcclellan says, in its issue of Friday that
General Mcclellan has had the supreme
direction of the battles on our side; and
he seems to have exercised his command
with very great vigor, skill and success.
When he fell back from before Richmond,
and withdrew his troops from the PENN
sula, we took occasion to say that he had
not fulfilled the popular expectations, and
had lost in very large degree the public
confidence which he had before enjoyed;
and the statement was literally and ex-
actly true. But events, disastrous to the
country, gave him almost instantly the OPP
portunity to reinstate himself in public es-
timatiOn,--and we should be lacking in
simple justice if we failed to say, that he
has availed himself of that opportunity
with degree Of decision and energy of
which he had given no previous example
It is impossible as yet to say that he has
conducted this campaign against the rebel
army with faultless generalship. for that
praise can never be awarded in advance Of
the result. But he has evidently attacked
the enemy with vigor, and followed up the
attack with energy and prompt celebrity -
and this is precisely what we were afraid
he would NOT do,I Judging from the past.
We hope that further and more complete
reports of his conduct of these terrible bat
Ties will confirm the returning confidence
and trust Of the people, and give him the
highest Of all claims to the heartfelt graft
tude Of the nation. - -, 90, se..
