THE MINNESOTA INDIAN EXPEDITION.
1t has been the general impression all
all over the country of late that the In
dian expedition in Minnesota the past sea-
son, has been great humbug and failure,
The st. Paul Pioneer of September l3,
fully confirms this impression, and as the
Pioneer has the fullest means Of iniorma-
nation, it doubles gives truthful and
unvarnished statement Of the case. II
says:
:" The expedition against the Sioux In
dams returned yesterday TO Fort Smelling.
1t has been year in preparation. On
this and the Missouri river branch, over
twelve millions of money have been spent
up to four or five months ago, This is
the testimony of the Secretary Of the
Treasury, and we presume it may be safe
" relied on. 1t has accomplished moth
ing beneficial. On the contrary, it has
been OF vast, and it may prove of irrem-
ediable injury to Minnesota. We say
that all this vast expenditure of treasure,
and year Of gigantic preparation, aud Ia
Dor and suffering, and peril Of campaign
ing, have been productive of no results
beneficial to the country. To have been
so, it must either have resulted in the de-
struction of the hostile Sioux, or their de-
moralization. 1t has not destroyed them,
for out of the 5000 warriors which they
brought into the field, there is no certain
ty they lost so in all the battles fought.
The country which they occupied at
the commencement of the campaign, they
occupy now for, as they led the expedi-
ton a safe distance IN the van on its ad-
vance westward, they followed at a safe
distance in the rear on its return home
All the trouble the expedition has occa-
stoned the Sioux, has been to force them
to make a march to the Missouri river /;
and this, as the indians had not much else
to do, can scarcely be counted as great
hardship. There is not a Sioux OF the
twenty whine hundred and fifty remaining,
but believes they were victorious, and that
the great expedition retired before their
superior prowess. They are to-day ten
e. vi more lne inondfCus vi INC Pi''ino' IN

o raorths ,go. And, in spite of anything
,ho on,,od, ~ has done, we fear they will

plished? 1t has been the u'e@ nus 81 6rs s"h to

GENERAL BUTLER ON RESTORING
THE UNION. Gen. Butler addressed a
large Union meeting at Harrisburgh on
Saturday evening, In the course of his
remarks he said:
You may think it heresy, but for one |
do not want the Union reconstructed on
the old basis. Suppose You would wake
up tomorrow morning and learn for fact
that the rebels had laid down their arms
and consented TO return to the Union I'M
der its condition in 1860, Honest demo-
Gratis say that they want the Union as 1t
was. In that case you would have to send
TO England for Mason aud Slidell and put
them back in Congress you would have
to send for Benjamin and put him back in
the Senate; you would have to send for
JEFF. Davis and put him back in the Sen"
ate you would have to send for Gen. Lee
and put him at the head Of his old regl-
ment OF United States cavalry.
"You might reconstruct it without
that says my honest democrat friend.
Ah then, you don't want il Exactly as 1t
was? If the southern seeding states
were to come back into the Union as 1t
was, ten millions of debt would be upon
us, and rebel scrip would have to be met
by payment as lawful money. Therefore
do not shrink from me because do not
want to see the Union exactly as it was.
Do you want Western Virginia, with all
her free institutions thrown back into
Eastern Virginia Do you want Mis-
sour in her original condition 2 Do you
want to see the men, black in skin, who
fought so nobly at Port Hudson and Sum
ter, sent back in chains to the cotton and
rice fields again If you do, | don t.

SOMEWHAT MISTAKEN. jeff. Davis,
when the secession movement was being
inaugurated, took occasion one day, in the
United Ltates Senate, to make light of a
prediction by Senator Benjamin that dis
astrous scenes might be occasioDed by the
invasion of the South, in case of rebellion.
What said the archconspirator to his de-
luded subordlnates ?
'''There is (said JEFF, Davis) another
side to the picture. An army with ban
ners would do but little harm in marching
through country Of plantations, They
would have but little power to subsist
themselves in sparsely settled region.
They would find it hard to feed the army
with which they invaded, and would have
no power to bring away prisoners or lugl--
tiAes. How stands it on the other side ?
In country of populous cities, OF MAUI
featuring towns, where population is Aath-
cred from the country into towns and vii
lagos, torch and sword can do their work
with dreadful havoc, and starving mil
lions would weep at the stupidity of those
who had preclpitated them into so sad a
policy" ..<
The chivalric raiders of Davis have not
as yet been able to create dreadful havoc
with the torch and sword in populous cit
les or manufacturing towns, neither are
storving millions to be found at the North
But the armies of the Union "go march
ing on" among the plantations, bringing
away prisoners and Transforming fugltlves
into free soldiers, while the very first fam
lilies beg piteously for rations, and the
Union troops not only subsist themselves
but those reduced to Starvation by thu
mad ambition of Davis, aided by his
Northern Democratic allies. - Boston
