correspondent of the st. Louis Democrat
writing from Fort Pierre, Dacotah Terri
tory, says that on the Sd Of September,
200 miles north of Fl. Pierre, Gen. Sui
ly's force, composed of Iowa and Nebras-
ka cavalry, met the Indians $500 strong,
and desperate fight. which lasted from
P. NJ. until dark, routed the savages,
who left all they possessed on the field,
even including their wives and children.
At least three hundred of the savage
warriors were killed. Our loss was forty.
Several skirmishes followed during the
next two days, in which dozen or more
Indians were killed. Our total loss in
killed and wounded will reach sixty-one.
Over three hundred Indian prisoners have
been taken, and vast amount of spoils
have been recaptured. Many of the In
dams have given themselves up.

BY T. s. ARTHUR.

War p! The very word sent shudder
to the heart OF Mrs. Irwin. From q
child up. it had been associated in her
mind with all that was horrible and wick
ed. To become a soldier seemed, to
her perception of the case, TO involve a
cruel instinct. She saw no glory in the
profession OF arms. Toy drums and
swords were never seen in the hands of
her children, except through the unwel-
come agency Of aunts, uncles, or friends
and they were, in those eases, soon re-
moved, with sober homlies on their bad
significance.
81 will teach my children" she would
say, TO love their enemies not TO hate
and destroy them. To be ever on the
side of peace and good will to mankind ;
not on the side of hatred and destruc
ton"
Mrs. Irwin read tracts and books pub
lished by peace societies. aud in the ar.
gument against war, crowded her mind
with facts, statistics and reasons TO de-
gree that made her formidable debtor
on the non combative question. with al
most every one that happened TO be
drawn into an argument 1t was useless
TO talk with her abont the undying an
tagonism between good and evil, and the
necessity of external as well as internal
combats ; Of national regeneration thro'
the baptism Of blood Of stable peace
only through the destruction OF enemies.
She denied the positions. All wars were
wrong, she contended, and might be
avoided.
Not in anything had Mrs. Irwin
swirved from her peace principles. up to
the period when Sumpter fell. But that
event was like throwing, suddenly, into
a strong, smooth current, broad ob
struction. Her whole being. was in a
tumult. She caught for breath like one
in danger OF suffocation. She felt as
though the firm foundations on which
she had been standing for years, were
crumbling under her feet. Mrs. Irwin

From the Dubuque Times.
The Peace Platform. Cowardly Sur
render.

The Tories Of the North are now open
ly and unconditionally in favor of stop
ping the war and making peace with the
rebels on their own terms. This is the
doctrine Of the Tory party now fully or
ganized in Connecticut and it is the
daily utterance of the Cincinnati Enquiy-
er, Chicago Times, Dubuque Herald,
and all the Tory organs OF the West
Stop the War, they say, without condi-
tions, and make peace on any terms that
may be required. But even the most
rabid Of the New York Slavery organs
are opposed to this. They have cried
out loudly for Peace and Compromise.
on any terms that would restore the
Union, but they will not consent to n
peace bought at the price of Disunion.
One of the most violent enemies of the
Administration is the New York Express,
and lis principal editor, Erastus Brooks,
is one of the most ultra advocates of
Slavery, and of compromise which
will make this a Slave-holding Repub
lic But the commerce of New York
depends on the Union for its prosperity,
and the disruption OF the nation into
North, South, East Middle, Northwest
and Pacific Confederacies, as proposed
BY the Tories, would be destructive to
the vast commercial interests of that
city. Hence the New York politicians
are willing to give anything TO the South
if il will remain in the Union, but other
wise they will insist on prosecuting the
war until the South is subdued and com

Union. Thus, in letter written nj

Major Parr EFT had been in bad health,
but twice joined his regiment which was
with Sherman's army in pursuit of Joe
Johnston, and had been twice sent back
to camp, as unfit for duty.
About 9 o'clock on the evening of the
7th terrific storm passed through the
woods and blew white oak four feet in
diameter across the tent in which Major
PARROT was lying, killing him instantly,
and fractured the skull of Col. Slough

severely injured the orderly of the Major.
Major Parrett was brother of Judge

deeply regretted by an extensive circle
of friends and acquaintance, and not
the least by the members of his own reg
iment, with whom he was highly popular.

LAMENrABLE ACcIDENT-We are
panied to learn that Mr. James Voor-
hees, son of Mr. A. P. Voorhees,, and for
time the Mail Agent between this city
and Terre Hahte, met terrible death
yesterday morning.
Mr. Voorhees, has for some time been
conductor of freight train on the T. H.,
A. & St Louis Railroad, and Just as his
train was leaving Terre Haute, at
o'clock yesterday morning, one car got
off the track, when Voorhees, jumped
from the train TO see what was wrong.
In jumping of, he struck against the
target of the switch, and was knocked
across the track, the wheels passing over
his thigh near the body, almosc severing
the limb, and otherwise terribly bruising
him. He survived in great agony until
seven o'clock, when death relieved him
of his suferings.
Mr.. Voorhees, was an estimable young
man, and leaves a wife and two or three
children to mourn his untimely death
