Victory of IROsecrans.

After nearly week of suspense, we
are enabled to give the gratifying official
announcement of the defeat of the rebels
at Murfreesboro and their flight to Tulla-
homa, place about thirty miles south of
the scene of the battles, and about seventy
miles from Nashville. The reported losses
on both sides are heavy, but as our forces
were very much scattered, later accounts
may materially reduce the figures. Two
rebel Generals are among the killed, and
three wounded. Among the latter is Gen.
JOHN G. BRECKENRIDGE. If the victory is
as complete as represented, RosECRANs
and his noble army will receive the high
est applause and gratitude Of the nation.
BRACES army was the best rebel force ever
gathered in the West, in point Of discipline
and fighting qualities, and ranked scarcely
second in these respects to the rebel army
of the Potomac. Its prestige is now
broken and cannot be restored.
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1863-01-09
but it is better that it should be expensive
and creditable, than that it should be cheap

| but it is better that it should be expensive
and credtable, than that it should be cheap
and disgraceful.
1t cannot be denied, then, that Governor
RAMSEY possesses the secondary rank Of
talent which is displayed in the employ
ment OF agents to collate and compose for
him, and this, too, in superior degree.
And, possessing this talent, and being able
to draw on the public treasury to the ex-
tent OF five or six thousand dollars year
for the support of his secretaries, it cannot
be denied, either, that he contrives to i'm.
pose himself upon the people as u fair-to-
middling documentary Governor. 1t is
true his messages will not bear close anal
ysis, nor even ordinary criticism but
they are well calculated to impress the
common, uncultivated reader. The turgid
commonplace which FISK supplies will
pass very well for wisdom, with the crowd;
while the rhetorical absurdities and extra
vagances of WHEELooK are calculated to
impress the unlearned that there must be
stratum of sense underneath so many
high-sounding phrases just as the public
thought of WHEELoCK's statistical books,
until Major ZEBuLoN SAWYER showed them
to be compilations of nonsense, in his fa-
nous reviews.
To be generous, then, with Gov. RAM
sEY, we will admit that he makes toler-
able Executive-on paper But, what a
ridiculous figure he would cut in the Uni
ted States Senate! Here, as Governor, he
can save himself from contempt by en-
ploying others to prepare his official pa
pers for him. There, as Senator, he would
be obliged to act on the basis of his indivi-
dual capacity, and every effcrt would only
reveal his lamentable want oft. Ifhe is
wise he will remain content with his pres
ent position and act upon that very sem
sible adage of his craft-which he has dis
regarded hitherto, and thus made poor
politician out of good mechanic,
"every shoemaker should stick to his last. "

The Indian Sympathy at the East.

Old Father BEEsoN is again at work in
behalf the Indians. At a meeting held
last week at the Cooper Institute, New
York, Father BEEsoN made an address,
and the following memorial to President
LINCOLN was unanimously adopted and
ordered to be presented:
Your memorialists respectfully represent that
credible testimony sanctions the belief that,
with fair treatment on the part of the agents,
there would be no difficulty with the Indians
and that the late tragedy in Minnesota was ow-
ing to the intense evaporation to which they
were driven by the frauds and rObberies of I'M
scrupulous men, against whom they had no
protection.
Your memorialists, therefore, pray that, in
stead of following the death penaltytO be inflicted
upon the Indians now in custody or of forcing
them from their rightful homes in Minnesota
and Kansas, q general amnesty may be pro-
claimed and subsistence and protection be
given them, until a thorough investigation and
amicabe adjustment of their difficulties can be
brought about.
The Washington correspondent OF the
Eoening Post says" The President is
still considering the case of the Indians of
Minnesota, and is somewhat vexed by the
subject. "A part of the condemned In
dams, it is known, have been executed.
What to do with the others the President
does not know. He says that he desires
most earnestly to do justice to the situa-
ton of the white inhabitants of the North-
west, yet at the same time he hopes to be
able to avoid any inhumanity to the lndi-
ans. 1t is not unlikely that a special term
of the District Court of the United States
will sit for the purpose of trying these In
dams for crimes committed upon the re-
served lands of the Government, and it is
believed that the people of Minnesota and
the Northwest generally will be willing to
abide the result of fair trial by court
that is without prejudice on the subject. -
In the HeSolds Washington correspond
ence, we find the following:
The Indian bureau almost despairs of
settling the Indian difficulties in Minneso-
sofa, so as to satisfy the people of that
State. They are constantly kept in con-
dition of excitement by the arts of dema-
gogues, who go about exhorting a furious
crusade against the Indians, in the expect
alton Of being raised to power by their ha-
rangues. The Indian bureau desires to
provide for the removal of the hostile
Sioux, although the thing is attended with
great difficulties; but the demagOgues in
sist, also, upon the removal of the Chippe-
was and the Winnebagoes. The latter
have been removed already some half doz-
en- times, and always to their damage. 1t
might be we'll to senda commission of just
and unimpassioned men into Minnesota, to
report upon all matters attending Indian
affairs,

MAI. GEN. WRlGHT'S OFFICIAL REPORT.

was received at headquarters to-day:
Headquarters, CINCINNATI JAN >
To Major General Halleck
Major General Granger reports that he
has received q dispatch from Major Foley,
commanding an expedition sent by him to
Elktoak, Campbell county, Tenn, COM
posed of 200 men of the 9th and 10th
cavalry, stating that on Sunday last he
surprised a camp of rebels $50 strong at
that place, killing thirty, wounding seven
teen, and capturing fifty-one, without the

(Signed) Fl. c. WRIGHT,
Major Gen. Cong.
Headquarters. CINCINNATI, Jan. . 1868.
To Major General HaLLECK:
have just learned from Gen. Granger
that Major Stevens, of the 18th Kentucky
cavalry, with $50 men, who were ordered
by him on scout to ascertain the where
abouts of a large band of guerillas in the
eastern part OF Powell county, Kentucky,
on the Goth ult., after travelling all night
over obscure and dangerous bridle-paths,
came upon their camp. They were pre-
pairing to move. Major Stevens dashed
upon them, and captured their leader, a
noted guerilla, and eleven men. The rest,
though outnumbering Major Stevens, were
utterly routed, and escaped in the dense
woods, brush andmountain gorges. Twenty
five horses and a large amount of clothing,
blankets, guns, pistols, &c, that were be-
ing transported to Humphrey Marshall's
camp, were also captured.

From the Daily Pioneer of Thursday.
The Telegraphic News.

Our special and exclusive dispatches this
morning contain news of startling interest.
The state of affairs at Vicksburg is far less
favorable than at our last advices. Des-
perate fighting was had between the Union
and Rebel forces on Sunday and Monday,
the 2Sth and 29th of December, with dis
astrous results to our side. From the ac-
counts, the fighting on Sunday and Mon
day was the most desperate of the whole
war.
From MurfraesbOro, the news is more
cheering. RosEoRANs is in quiet posses
sion OF the town-the rebels had fled in
great haste,-and the cavalry raid into
East Tennessee, which resulted in the de-
structlon of the railroad communications
with Richmond, removes the fears which
were entertained of BRAGG being reinforc-
ed from that quarter.
The political demonstration in Ohio and
Illinois will be regarded with special inter-
est at this iuncture of affairs.
We have abstracts of the messages OF
Governors Tod and Curtin.
For the rest, we must refer our readers
to the dispatches themselves.
