The Chippewa Difficulties.

We refer cur renders to the proceedings
of the House of Representatives in regard
to apprehended trouble with the Chippe-
was. The letter of Commissioner DOLE to
the Governor created considerable alarm,
and was followed by the wisest action that
could have been taken, under the circum
stances. A comm issIon, consisting of Gov.
RAMSEY, Senator RICE, Judge COOPER, E.
A. G. HATCH, Esq, and FREDERICK
AYREs, of Morrison county, was instituted,
and empowered to proceed Immediately to
the Indian country, for the purpose of set
thing the difficulties. The Commissioners
proceeded last evening in special train to
st. Anthony, accompanied by CHARLES Fl.
CAKES, Esq, and Major CULLEN, and will
probably arrive at the Agency this even.-
irg. We have confidence that these gen
tiemen will succeed in their mission. AT
any rate, from them we shall get at true
understanding Of the disposition of the
Indians.

To THE WeMEN OF MINNESOTA Your
husbands, brothers, and SONS are engaged in
fierce strife with savage foe within our
own borders. They are even now in great
need of certain hospital stores, and soon
will require large supplies. Col. Sibley
writes that at Fort Ridgeley they are en-.
tirely destitute of bandages and old sheets
these with old shirts, old drawers, old linen
handkerchiefs, old aannels, slippers, dressing
gowns, and such table delicacies as are in
dispensible to good nursing, will be most
gratefully received by the brave men who
may be sick or wounded.
In the absence of any organized sanitary
commission, this department desires to ap-
prise you of its necessities, trusting your
willing hands will at once furnish an ample
supply for present and future demands.
Direct all packages to Oscar Malmros,
Adjutant General, st. Paul.

The following letter, which has been fur

portance to those who contemplate joining

Crossman, has this day been directed to send
you clothiug and equipage complete for one
mounted regiment.
You are requested to explain to the State
authorities that the Department is short of I'M.

The Indian Outbreak Instigated by the
Rebels---Opinion of Senator Rice. 4.

We are permitted to print the following
extract from letter of Senator RICE, to q
gentleman of this city, under date of Sep
TENDER 9th, from Bayfield,:
The Sioux Indians were induced by
rebels and traitors to make war upon our peo.
Pile. Last year they sent emissaries among
them, as well as among the Chippewas, which
was no secret.
A little judicious management and aid will
induce the Chippewas to unite with the whites
against the Sioux, which, if done promptly
will soon result in a lasting peace upon our
borders.
Although there is much excitement here,
and through this section, l have no fears, as
Agent Webb has taken very efficient means to
keep the Indians quiet.
Your friend, II. NJ. RICE.
We are glad to learn that Senator RICE
has been sent for, and that be will probably
Join the Commissioners sent to the Chip
pewa country in a few days. Mr.. RICE, it
is we'll known, has grea. influence with that
tribe, and the belief is generally entertained
that be will be able to preserve the peace
between the Chippewas and the whites.

A Glorious Victory.

There was severe battle fought On Sun
day, near Middleton, Maryland, about
twelve miles from Frederick, in which the
national troops were victorious. A dis,
patch from MCCLELLAN, dated on Monday,
states that the enemy was working for the
Potomac River, in perfect panic, and a
still later dispatch confirms the rout and de-
moralizatioD of the rebel army, and reports
its loss at $4,000 men. If no miafortune
has since interviewed, we may congratulate
ourselves on the most glorious victory of the
war. Notwithstanding the hard service
which our troops have seen during the last
month, we are assured that they behaved
with the utmost steadiness and galantry,
carrying strong positions without the as
sistance of artillery.

The Death of General Reno

The death of the able and gallant"
Brigadier-General JESSE L. RENO, in the
battle of Sunday, is national misfortune,
as he was universally conceded to be one of
the most promising officers in the army.
He was born in Pennsylvania in 1926,
graduated at West Point in lS46, standing
number seven in bis class, and was breveted
Second Lieutenant of Ordnance. He took
part as commander of battery in the Mexi.

ment of Vera Cruz and for gallant and
meritorious conduct at the battle of Cerro
Gordo," was breveted First Lieutenant
April l8, lS47. For bravery on the battle-
field of Chepultepec, where be was wounded,
he was breveted Captain, September Is,
1847. When hostilities ceased be was ap.
pointed Assistant Professor of mathematics
at West Point for some six months, and was
then appointed Secretary Of the Board of
Artillery-a position be held about eighteen
months, during which he was engaged in
testing the relative merits of heavy ordnance
and compiling a work on heavy artillery
tactics. He was subsequently connected
with the Coast Survey service, and upon
withdrawing came West with Corps of
Typographical Engineers, and assisted in the
construction of military road from the
Big Sioux to st. Paul. He was engaged
in this work some twelve months, and then

Arsenal, where he remained about three
years, and then accompanied General JOHN

The Letter of MIR. Merrili.

The letter of the special Chippewa Agent,
Mr.. MERRILL, in another column, gives a
gratifying statement of the condition of af-
fairs in the Chippewa country. The firms
ness of Commissioner Dole in refusing to
allow Hole-in-the-Day large amount of
goods as price of peace, has resulted most
happily. The Indians appear to have subs
mitted to the authority Of the Government,
when they found the officer representing the
Government could not be intimidated into
dishonorable concessions.

The Press, of Tuesday, tacitIy acknowl.
edges the truth of the statements copied
from report to the United States Senate,
in relation to Governor RAMsEY's conduct in
the Sioux payments, under the treaty of
1851. We have re-examined the report.
and find that the statements referred to are
fully sustained by the evidence of Governor
RAMSEY and his friends.
A subsequent withdrawing by Senate
Committee Or retraction by former
editor of this or any other paper or his,
or any other mans endorsement of the yer.
dict of the Senate Committee or its ap~
proval by the Senate does not change or
invalidate the facts proven, and not denied,
now, Or heretofore, by Governor RAMSEY,
or his friends. When Governor RAMSEY,
OR the Press, denies the damaging conclu-
sions found by the Committee of Investi-
CATION, and published in this paper of the
l4th inst, we shall be ready to present the
evidence which be has been compelled to
admit to be true, in their support.
That we have truthfully presented, from
documents, the conduct and policy of Gov
ernor RAMSEY towards the Sioux Indians.
in regard to the payments under the Sioux
treaty of 1851, is undeniable. Whether or
not such conduct and policy was wise, ex-
pedient, or just, are questions which inteli.
gent and impartial readers will decide for
themselves,

General POpe's Report.

We print, on our first page, General
PoPEs report of the late operations in Vir.
ginia. General POPE desired the Cincinnati
Commercial to soy that the publication Of
the report was without bis authority or
knowledge, and, in the absence of authority
from the War Department, contrary to his
wishes. As it has been published in all the
Eastern journals, and has, therefore, become
public property, we deem it proper to lay it
before our readers.

The Guerrilla Raids.

The telegraphic reports of the guerrilla raids
in Kentucky greatly exaggerated the numbers
engaged and the extent of damages committed
by them. 1t appears that the gang which visited
Henderson and Newburgh numbered only about
forty. If Gen. BOYLE had not taken away the
troops that we're stationed at Henderson, JOHN
SONS band would not have made their appearance
either there or at Newburgh. The people of
Evansville we're intensely excited upon the suppo-
sition that the gang which made Its appearance
were merely the advance of a large body. The
Union men of Henderson could have dispersed
the company which made the foray upon that
place, if they had been supplied with arms. The
best way to stop this predatory warfare is to or
ganize military companies upon the borders and
supply them with the means to protect them
selves and promptly punish those engage in such
rascalities. The invasion of the sacred soil of
Indiana caused intense excitement throughout
the State, and had there been occasion tens of
thousands of our citizens would have been ready
to meet the foe. The prompt measures taken
in this State and Kentucky for the protec-
ton of both will doubtless put a stop to this un-
licensed and wicked warfare.
