RumOr Of q Victory.

By the kilograms from Cairo to the Chi
cago papers, we learn that General Buell.
fought the rebels at Chattanooga, Tennnes.
see, on Wednesday and Thursday of last
week, winning complete victory. On the
first day the Federals were discounted; but
on the next day the enemy were completely
routed. Buell. telegraphs that be took
1000 prisoners. No statement is given Of
the killed and wounded on either side. 1t
is generally supposed that Bragg was the
commander of the rebels, but doubts are
entertained by some on this point, it being
contended that the individual of ga little
more grape" notoriety had gone to West.
ern Virginia with the main body of bis
troops.

News From Washington

Although we are not authorized by the
news to use the stereotyped phrase
Washington is safe," we may draw conf.
dence from the fact that ia pfUt4stio is
entrusted to Gen. MCCLELLAN. However
we may differ in regard to his efficiency in
other quarters, we must all acknowledge
that he has proved his capacity to defend
the capital.
We have the rumor, which is said to
be reliable, that the rebels have not given
up the idea of crossing the Potomac. but
are in force to the number of 100000 men
in the Valley, stretching upwards towards
Harper's Ferry, and that they express con.
fidence that they will succeed in crossing
into Maryland in the course of four days.
The reported death on the battle. field
of General PHIL. K CARNEY, one of the most
gallant and chivalrous soldiers in the army,
is confirmed. He preferred death to sur
render. He was New Yorker, of large
fOrtune-lost an arm in Mexico, and was
an aid to LOUIS NAPOLEON at the battle of
Solferino.
We have rumors again of MIR. STAN
TONS retirement from the Secretaryship Of
the War Department. The runor is al.
most "too good to be true.'
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1862-09-12

From the Daily Pioneer OF the 9th.
The news we publish this morning will
dissipate the belief SO generally entertained,
that the Indians had fed from the scene of
their first terrible atrocities, and that pur.
suit and punishment was all that could be
done to ensure the safety of the frontier.
Instead of skulking off with their prisoners
to Big Stone Lake, and Dakota Territory,
they have had the audacity to attack large
bodies of soldiers on the ground of their
late massacres, and are probably lying in
ambush for other victims. We hear of them
at Fort Abercrombie, on the Red River
OF the North, and all along the frontier to the
Iowa line, and in the interior, within fifty
miles of the Mississippi river, in the midst
of fourishing settlements and towns, Our
friends, who, only few weeks ago took
their lives and their muskets in their hands
to crush the Southern rebellion, have al.
ready found honorable graves in the defence
of their own State-their own homes
against savage and treacherous race,
which has been allowed to roam unmolested
On our own soil, and has been the recipient
OF nothing but kindness at their hands.
The savages must be punished and the
frontier protected, and to do this efectual.
ly, all the troops raised under the late calls
of the President, will be required. And
these are not sufficient. The cavalry regi.
ment ordered by the Governor must be filled
up at once. Our citizens must not wait to
be provided with arms and horses and equip
ments by the Government. The emergency
is too pressing, and, besides, the Govern
ment has got as much as it can attend to in
another direction. 1t is enough to know
that in due time all expenses incurred will
be reimbursed. There is no necessity of a
Journey 81. Iuul lcuru pal tivuiars.
They are all fully stated in the order of the
Adjutant General. Report at once at the
rendezvous, and be mustered into service.
By reference to the order OF the Adjutant
General, calling for regiment Of mounted
men to operate against the Indians, it will
be seen that, in addition to his pay, which
will be that Of other mounted troops Of the
Uuited States, each volunteer will receive
fifty cents per day for the use of bis horse,
and fifty cents per day in lieu of subsist
ence until furnished with rations by the
United States. His horse and arms will be
appraised by an officer appointed Tor that
purpose, and compensation awarded in case
of their loss or injury in accordance with
such appraisal.

Rhode Island.

The General Assembly of Rhode Island
met on Monday, under the call of Governor
Sprague. The Governor, in the Senate,
explained briefly his object in calling an
extraordinary session. and made some sug~
gestions in reference to bounties and month
ly pay to soldiers. He believes that draft
ed men, as well as volunteers, should re-
ceive enough to give their families decent
support, and that those already in the field
should not be forgotten while we are 90
eager to lavish bounties upon such as are
now enlisting.

Indians Killed.

Captain George g. Whitcomb, of the
Sibley Guards, stationed in Meeker county,
writes to the Adjutant General that on the
first inst. be learned that one man, two
women and eight children were secreted on
an island in lake in Monongolia county,
having been driven from their homes by the
savages and that, with portion of his
company, he started out to rescue them !;
and that on his way, near the west line of
Meeker county, he succeeded in killing three
Indians and capturing two ponies.
