The rebels under Gen. Lee, of Johnston's
staff, are said to be concentrating near CO.
lumbus, Miss, where the rebels are said to
have extensive iron and other manufactures,
and strong defensive works. Gen Brown of
Georgia has protested against the seizure of

Persons attempting such impressment are to
be committed to Jail until warrant is issued

New YORK, Oct IL.
The New Orleans correspondent of the
Herald gives the following account Of an en-
gagement hear the Atchafalaya Overflow
ing to the illness of Gen. Herror, Major Gen.
Dana has been appointed to the command.
As the enemy were found to be of great
strength and in good position on the opposite
side of Atchafalaya the commanding general
thought it advisable to throw up entrench-
ments, and while the larger portion of the
troops were certifying the levee, Lieut. Col
Lake, of the Goth Iowa, was ordered to pro-
coed some five or six miles in advance Early
on Wednesday morning the whole rebel force,
consisting of Geen's, Morton's and Majors
brigades, succeeded in quietly crossing the
river, and passing between the main body and
Col. Lakes command, completely outfanked
and cut off Lakes forces before the movement
was discovered. Col Lake drew up his men
in line of battle. and prepared to give the foe
q warm reception. A sharp fight of nearly
half an hour ensued, in which our troops
fought bravely against oyerpowering numbers
but at the end of that time they were COM
PEELED to surrender, the enemy having almost
entirely surrounded them. With the excep-
ton OF the cavalry, the whole force were taken
prisoners and their guns captured. The cav
airy succeeded in making their escape. The
prisoners, officers and privates, numbered $50.
We captured Lieut.. Colonel and twelve
men. Major Gen. Dana advanced with his
whole force as soon as possible, and our last
advices state that the enemy was in full re-
treat, they having fallen back five miles as
soon as they saw the division advancing. II
this is true. the tables will be turned upon the
rebels, as they are between the Mississippi and
Atchafalaya rivers, and to escape over the
latter they will be compelled to leave their
prisoners and artillery behind them.

From Ddcotah Territory Indians Defeated
srifn great Loss.

NEW YORK, Oct 10.
The correspondent of the Missouri Demo-
crat, writing from Dacotah Territory, gives
the following account of three days fighting
with the Indians. Gen. Suly met the Indians
about 2500 strong, on the Sd of Sept, some
thing like POO miles north of Fort Pierre,
where an engagement ensued. The Indians
were overtaken by part of the 9th Iowa cav
airy about z. NJ, who occupied two hours in
deploying and awaiting the arrival Of the COM
mand. The enemy were under cover in a
ravine running north and south. The General
formed section OF his force and the battery
on the north. The 9th Iowa cavalry fell in
line of battle on the east side of the ravine and
the I'd Nebraska cavalry on the west side
The latter regiment opened fire Immediately,
which was kept up until dark. The I'd Ne
braska opened after the third round, advanced
to within thirty yards of the indians aud pour
ed round after round into the conglomerated
mass of savages. The Indians fought like de-
mons but overshot us. Three hundred killed
were found on the field and the wounded are
many. Our loss thus far Is about forty killed
and wounded.
On the 9th our scouts overhauled the enemy
several times resulting in spirited fights. On
the 9th detachment sent to the north was
driven in with loss of six killed. The I'd
Nebraska was Immediately ordered to pursue
them which they did, overtaking part Of them
seven miles from camp, when an engagement
of short duration ensued, resulting in killing
six Indians and losing two of our men. Our
loss during the three days fighting amounts to
sixty-one killed and wounded.
The Chiefs are coming in daily and giving
themselves up. The Indians are apparently
demoralized.
