the first of the rebel lines that broke; we
were also pretty well sheltered by the crests
OF ridges, which we took advantage Of
The rebel loss in this engagement was very
heavy, for they fought bravely. Those
who went over the field say they left near
two thousand dead and wounded on the
field. We captured a large number Of
prisoners, and twenty pieces of artillery.
l think we used up, one way and another,
eight thousand men for them. From here
they fell back to the Vicksburg and Jack
son railroad crossing. "a.
On the 18th we advanced on them at
the above crossing. LAWYERS Brigade,
mostly Iowa troops, charged their intrench-
ments over an open field, and captured
seventeen pieces of artillery, and between
two thousand and twenty-five hundred
prisoners The rebels burnt the bridge,
and on the night of the 18th, our forces
built three bridges across the river, our
brigade building one.
Yesterday, the 18th, our forces crossed.

now pretty well on towards Vicksburg, 1
suppose, as it is only some fourteen miles
from here. Vicksburg is sure to come
when this army calls for it.
And now you may conclude for yourself
whether we have not had pretty lively
time of it lately. The loss in our division
is at least one thousand in killed and
wounded since we crossed the Mississippi,
but we have drove the chivalry every time,
cutting them up badly, capturing seventy
two pieces of artillery since the first of
May, and causing them to leave their dead
and wounded on the field every time, ex-
cept such as they could get away. Every
house along the road is hospital for them

Little Grow at Pembina.
Alarm Of the Whites.
LETTER FROM JUDGE LEMAY.

To the Editor Of the Pioneer:
Think of the idea, Little Grow, the
chief of murderers, is at the very time |
write you at Pembina, with sixty of his
band. Sixty more came as far down as
Charles Grants, but returned to St. Joseph
after being told that the troops were
coming. That report was gotten up on
false alarm given by half-breeds for the
purpose Of soaring the Sioux, and in this
they succeeded very well.
Little Grow and his sixty murderers are
here with at least two hundred Chippewas,
from this place, Pembina, Red Lake, and
other parts of the country. They are en-
camped at the post dividing our territory
from the British settlement north of us.
That little trading post, owned by the
Hudson Bay Company is two miles and a
half from my house.
Two men went down from my house to-
day to see them; they saw Little Grow in
person. I did not go to see him, neither
do care about seeing him. About sun
down to-day the Red Lake Indians had
not as yet shaken hands with the Sioux.
A great many half breeds were also as
sembled with them to-day. No one knows
what is going to happen Little Grow will
be clamoring tomorrow around my house,
and if they do not dance around my scalp
will be satisfied.
must tell you also a good joke on Old
Red Bear, the Pembina Chief. This
morning four messengers came to him and
advised him of Little Crow leaving camp,
then the good old cuss Immediately sent
for my American flag, which / lent him
cheerfully, and shielded under it went out
to meet him. Indeed he deserves credit,
for in time when the Sioux abhor and
detest everything that is American, the
good old fellow feels proud to show
himself an American Indian Chief
To do him justice, l have, ever since I
knew him, known him to be great friend
to the Americans. Every one present at the
Grand Forks pillage last summer can bear
witness to the fact that the old chief
was very much opposed to that plumber
and kept his hand from taking any part
in the act. -. T.
Now, if General Sibley has yet any
doubt about Little Grow being here, please
tell him to come promptly and / will give
him an introduction to the chief of muir
derers, and shall charge him nothing for
my trouble. ~ @.o.- a.
I had promised to write you, when ]
was last in st. Paul, and as the Sioux may
be so near having my scalp, thought it
my duty to fulfil my promise. Since my
arrival here / have had nothing but trouble
and fears, and hoping that things may
soon change for the best, will subscribe
myself, ]. L.
