TIE CArTrRED Iowa REGIMENTS
James G. u. Hobbs writes to the Chicag 60
Journal, under date Of pittsburg Land
ing, April 23d, that it is mistake that
the 6th, 18th and 10th Iowa regiments
were captured carly in the day Of Satnr
day, April 9th, the FIRST day Of the battle.
He says that he was with the 18th and
14lh regiments as late as quarter past
4 o'clock in the afternoon Of that day,
out unon the field. They had driven tho
rebels in repeated assaults, and we're still
advancing when he last saw them. They
did not yield their ground once. but stead
ily advanced till their final strait, when
surrounded By the enemy, who had turn
ed our right and left fianks and closed in
their rear. They fought their way . half
mile back, bnt were overwhelmed by
swarning rebel regiments, and surr~n-
dereJ about quarter before 5 clock p. m.
This statement is doubtless true, and
is important, as it corrccts mis- state
ment which would rob those gallant regi-
ments Of the glory Of long day ofun-
surpassed bravery, and retreat Of thrill
Ing heroism.

From tie Nas},iNe Uaion.
Three Hundred Thousand More.

The news which reached the city yesterday
through the Northern papers, that the President
has called for 100000 militia, in addition to
the 100000 volunteers just called out, is work
ing marvelously on the minds of the people.
The Union men are rejoced at the determina-
tion of the Government; and the most violent
secessionists say, "If the people of the North
stand that, the Confederacy is gone up-the
South may as well yield" The thing works
like magic, and every rebel in Memphis has
dropped his lower jaw an inch and a half since
yesterday.
TIE MEssPHIANs VOLUNTEERING.
-Four hundred men, forming one artillery and
three infantry companies, have already been
recruited in Memphis, and have gone to Nashville
to report to Gov. Johnson. Two other compa-
nies are recruiting here, and it would not be sur
prsing if this depopulated city sent out a full
regiment to fight for the National Union, whose
protection they have learned to appreciate
UNION SENTIMENT.
Is not this proof positive that there is Union
sentiment in the South! There is not city,

Washington, Aug. %, 1862.
Honorable Horace Greely: Dear Sir-I have
just read yours of the 19th addressed to N.Y.

be in it any statements or assumptions of fact
which may know to be erroneous, do not
now and here controvert them. IF there be in
it any interences whce / may believe to be false
ly drawn do not now and here argue against
them. If there be perceptble in it an impa-
tient and dictatorial tone, | waive it in defer
ence to an old friend whose heart have always
supposed to be right.
AS to the policy ''seem to be pursuing" as
you say, have not meant to leave any one in
doubt.

Union unless they could at the same time sare

those who would not save the Union unless they
could at the same time DESTROY slavery, do not
agree with them. My paramount object in this
struggle as to save the Union, and is not either
to save or to destroy slavery. If l could save
the Union without freeing any slave would do
it, and if could save it by freeing all the slaves

Indian Outbreak in Minnesota.

| PARTICULARS OF TIE HORRIBLE MASSACRE OF
THE WHITES
/ From the st. Paul Pioneer we obtain further
particulars of the murders committed by the
Sioux Indians in Meekcr county and at the a
gency on the Minnesota river:
The roads in all directions to New Ulm are
lined with the bodies of murdered men, women
and children. J. j. Porter, of Waukato, a
member of the last Minnesota legislature, has
arrived at st, Paul's to procure arms. He was
one of the committee sent to New Ulm to learn
the truth of the reported murders. He saw
four persons wounded in one room, cut with
hatchets in their heads and arms. A little girl
was cut across the face, breast and side A
little boy was dreadfnlly cut up; also middle
aged woman in an adjoining room. He saw a
child with its head cut off, and twenty-seven
others mutilated with gashes The people of
New Ulm are drilling with what arms they can
get, and are fully awake to their danger, and
are determined to defend the town to their last.
Mr.. Porter left New Ulm Tuesday morning,
and was overtaken bya man who reported that
the Indians attacked the town, two hundred
strong, at five p M, and burned several build
ings. Several citizens were seen to fall The
people had gathered together and barricaded the
streets. Letters from Governor Ramsay saw
that hundreds are known to be killed, and it is
believed thousands.
Captain Marsh and forty-fve men went in
pursuit of the murderers. At ferry opposite
the agency he encountered a large body of war
liors, who opened fire on them; after few vol
leys large body of ambushed Indians in the
rear fired upon him, killing number of them.
A retreat was attempted across the river. While
in the water the Indians killed the captain, three
sergeants and four corporals But seventeen
returned to the fort. On Morday night the
light from burning buildings and grain stacks
were seen in all directions.
Escaped citizens, came into tho fort during
the night, giving accounts of horrors too terri.
BILE for imagination to conceive. Mothers came
IN rags, baiefooted, whose husbands and chill
dren were slaughtered before their eyes. Chill
dren came who witnessed the murder of their
parents, or the burning of their homes.

MIR. EDITOR /:

MIR. EDITOR:
In the last number of the Inquirer l no.
tice an article rejecting upon Messrs. Fichtner
and Shoemaker, two Of the County Commission
ers, for not appearing in answer to a Scalp said
to have been made upon them "to assemble at
their office to take action upon the proposition
of $4,000 bounty" &c. Who issued this call
and who had right to issue it? The Commits
sioners meet when the law requires them so to do
and whenever they themselves fix extra meet
ngs. They do not ask the editor of the Iaqai-
rer, or any other crazy fanatic, when they shall
or shall not meet. As to the bounty, the Com
missoners are s,co,m to take care of the fnan-
ces of the county and dare not squander away
the taxes paid by the people, nor pay out any
money except by authority Of law, saving what
is necessary to defray the current expenses Of
the county. Coy. Curtin did not venture to
assume the responsibility to pay bounty to
volunteers Why? Because, as he sensibly al
leges, there is no law to warrant him in 50 do
ing. For the same reason the Commissioners,
l presume, have declined to act in the matter
The Inqaner had better let Mr.. Fichtner alone,
for it will do neither it, nor those who endorse
its course, any good if it continues its attacks
upon him, Yours,

DEMOCRATIC MASS MEETING.

The Democracy of Bedford county, will meet
in MASS CONVENTION, at the Court House,
in Bedford, on
.MO.ND.aY EVENING, SEPTEMBER
for the purpose of ratifying Democratic nomi-
nations and re-iterating their of-repeated pledg-

MON As 1t Was" to renew their solemn protest
against Abolition and its natural consequence,
Secession, and to vindcate the Democratic par.
ty from the aspersions falsely cast upon it by
Abolition traitors in the North, the enemies of
the Constitution and the Union.
Rally, Democrats! Friends of Constitutional
Liberty, to the rescue! Come from your farms
and your workshops, come from mountain and
valley, come ye who in the dark future of our
country, must bear the heat and burden of the
day, and strike one more blow for liberty and
law, for the safety of your homes, the protec-
ton of your property, the security Of your lives

Sl.50 per annum, they must pay no,u or with.

year is up, is not paying IN ad,unce. The CON-

vance paying subscribers to send in their mon
ey. We would also ask those who are in ar
rears to call and settle. OF course we do not
refer to regular paying subscribers. We mean

eJFor want of something else to talk about,
the editor of the Inquirer, in his last issue, un-
dertakes to ridcule US because we took occasion
to call upon the people to volunteer. His sar-
casm is truly whitening and we have no doubt
that, from the effects of it, we will be able to
plead physical disability by the time the draft
comes around. But it affects not only ourself
but also those to whom we appealed to volun-
teer. 1t is calculated to discourage enlist
ments," and therefore should be sufficient to
send its author to Fort Warren. Democrats
have been thrown into dungeons, for acts far
less detrimental to the best interests of the
country, and Kit is poor rule that does not
work both ways"
The Inquirer says we have ''changed." 1t is
scarcely worth while to contradict this simple
falsehood, but we will take occasion to say here,
for the consolation of this preacher-fghting,
home-guard editor, that we are still of the same
mind in regard to his party and all its acts that
we were years ago. We hold, with Stephen
A. Douglas, that the Republican alas Aboli-
ton party is responsible for the troubles that
now distract and distress our unhappy coun-
try. We hold that it is the duty of every
good citizen to sustain and uphold the Gov
ernment in the exercise of all its Constitution
al functions, and to do all he can to restore
the Union and bring back peace to the land.
We hold too, that it is the special duty of the
ranting, rampant supporters Of the war meas
ures of the administration, to shoulder mus
ket and act war as well as talk it. As for the
Abolitionists, we have always despised them,
and their recent course of conduct has not rails
ed them an iota in our estimation. If the In
quirer can find any s'change' in these partcu-
lars, it is welcome to make the most of it,
We called upon the single men and those
whose circumstances will permit them to go
into the army, to volunteer. We did this, not
because we have acquired any new faith in the
Administration at Washington, but because we
desired to save the people of the county from
the inevitable and incalculable misery and dis
tress draft must bring with it. We have never,
as has Mr. Durborrow, urged people in similar
circumstances with oursef to enlist We hav-
en't brass enough in our cheek to do that
Whenever we go that far, we shall shoulder q
gun and say, ''Come Boys" and not sit at ease
in our office, and complacently wave our pen as
we say $50, Boys"
