Our correspondent says, in conclusion
that in a speech recently delivered by E.
@. WALKER, Esq, at Mt. Clemens, Michi-
gan, he stated that gentleman of high
attainments and culture informed him that
he had made it an object to discover which
State furnished the best fighting material
His information had been derived from
both military men and civilians high in
rank, as well as from earnest personsl ex-
animation and he found it was hard to de-
eide between Michigan and Minnesota
This need of praise is well deserved by
our Minnesota.

The Late Emeute Among the Chip
peWas.

LITTLE FALLS, May 14th, 1868.
TO the Editor of the Pioneer:
I drop these few lines to correct the
statement made by A. AsPINwALL, about
four Chippewa Chiefs being killed at
Rabbit Lake. The only chief killed was
CROSSING SKY, and tho only one present
at the time and place where it happened.
The difficulty did not originate as is stated
by your informant. The trouble origi-
mated by Nephew of CRoss1NG SKY's,
killing an Indian who killed his father
about five years ago. And the friends of
this Indian killed, came for the purpose of
killing the nephew of CROSSING SKY, and
the Chief CROSSING SKY seeing that they
were bound to kill his nephew, took active
part in it to try to prevent it, but he was
killed in the act, and two others killed
afterwards to revenge his death, all this
was done in drunken spree. l have not
heard ofany Chief who intends to kill any of
those who signed the treaty. If there il
any chief intends to kill any of the signers
of the treaty made at Washington, and if
he makes it known he ought to be atten-
ded to by the proper officers and will no
doubt.
Very Respectfully,
PETER ROY

Halleck and Hooker.

All the radical papers are opening on
Gen. HALLEoK with great severity. They
charge him with the failure of nearly all
our military operations since he assumed
the position of General-in-C Chief, and par
ticularly with the disasters of HooKER's
campaign. The Chicago Tribune calls
him "well meaning, but fumbling and
leather-brained," and says that dis
agreement between him and HOOKER was
inevitable from the conditions of the case,
and gives the following dispatches which
are vouched for as having recently passed
between the two:
HALLEcK TO HOOKER, MAY 1st-"Make no
further movement until you report your situa-
ton. What are you doing? HALLECK."
HOOKER TO HALLEcK; Immediate answer.)
-" l am minding my own business
HALLECK TO HOOKER, SUNDAY, MAY g.
Had you not better return to your old posi-
ton? HALLECK."
HOOKER TO HALLEcK, Immediate answer.)
-" Had you not better let me alone?
HOOKER"
The followingis from letter written to
his paper by VIM. E. CRAMER, ESQ.,, editor
of the Milwaukee Wisconsin, from New
York, under date of May g.:
No small portion of the blame of Hooker's
failure after his first undOubted success, will
be attributed to General Halleck, the Cabinet and
the President. Why was not Hooker reinforced
in time ? is the constant question.
1t is known to most of our Eaders that the
Daily Wisconsin has held for long time, that
there aciU be no success IN this until the cou's-
try shakes off General Halleck and the present
Cabinet. Such an incubus could not be shaken
off without some great calamity. That calam-
ity has come.
We might multiply extracts of the same
character, from our radical exchanges.
Nearly all breathe the same spirit against
the General-in-Chief; but, as he was call
ed to the position he now holds for the
purpose of effecting their darling object
the removal of MoCLELLAN-we have no.
thing to say in his favor, and cheerfully
leave him in their hands.

Lake Superior News.

A letter from our correspondent at Su-
perior City, under date of May 10, con-
tains the following items of news:
The sidewheel steamer, Sea Bird, from Chi
cago, arrived at Quebec Pier, early Tuesday
morning, April 10th, with fair load offreight,
and part fthe supplies of the Wisconsin Cop
per Company. The Sea Bird will run regu-
larly to Superior from Chicago, making ten-day
trips. Her return freight consisted Of barrels
of fish, potatoes, shingles and cattle for the
mines. For the information of drovers, I
would say that cattle are bringing good prices
at the mines, and to bring all they can collect
to Superior, for shipment. The schooner
Neptune will leave this week with load of
lumber, etc., for the mining towns.

and half in size. 1t is surmounted by
an eagle, and on each side are crossed
flags. AT the bottom are crossed swords,
with scroll, pendent, and olive wreath,
and in each of the corners shield. This
fine piece of work is enclosed in hand

account of the presentation speeches has
not come to hand, but dispatch says that
Gen. MCCLELLAN informed the deputation
that the rumor of his resignation was
false.

MINDEN, we give the following statement,
which we have reason to believe is entirely
correct:
On the Sd of February, Capt. Won MIN
DEN was ordered by Col. HARDING, of the
SD Illinois, commanding at Fort Donel-
son, to go out as far as possible to ascer-
tain where the rebels had their picket
lines. The Colonel informed him that he
had received intelligence that the rebel
force, consisting of division commanded
by Gen. WHEELER, had left Harpeth Shoals,
and was trying to establish line between
the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers.
Col. HARDING said there was no danger of
an attack, but as Capt. Won MINDEN had
but ~ men, he would give him 100 infan-
try, thinking he might meet large foraging
parties of the enemy. Capt. Won M1NDEN
proceeded at once to the Rolling Mills,
the point designated to meet the infantry,
but on arriving at that place, the infantry
had not arrived. Capt. Won MINDEN sent
four men ahead as scouts, but the enemy
came upon him suddenly and surrounded
him. The advanced guard made for the
woods and escaped. After firing off their
guns once, killing one and wounding three
rebels, Capt. Won M1NDEN and his COM
mand were taken prisoners by Gen. For
REST in person, who turned them over to
QUE of his aids and went ahead to attack
Donelson. Capt. Won MINDEN was taken
to Atlanta, Ga, where he was kept for
some time, and then taken to Richmond.
