that the law will be made so as to prevent
exemption by money.
Blunt has been removed and Gen. Nc
Neil takes his place.
Ewing is to be the commander of the
District of Kansas.
The Times thinks the details from Chick
Amauga establishes the defeat of Rosecrans,
and charges the Federal Government with
keeping back the news. Lee was peremp-
torily ordered back to Gordonsville by Da-
vie, to protect Lynchburg. where there is
heavy supplies.
It is ascertained now that Lee positively
intended attacking Meade in the defenses at
Washington. When he made his demon
stration on the capital lie was entirely ig-
norant of Burnside's approach from the
southwest. Lee did not want to go back to
Gordonsvile without fighting Meade, but
be order from Davis was peremtory.
A great battle is considered imminent,
in Virginia.
1t it is stated that Meade is to be super
seded either by sickles or sedgewick.
Parson Brownlow and Horace Maynard
made speeches in Knoxville on the goth.
Both endorsed the Administration fully;
favored immediate emancipation in East
Tennessee.
There is still some fighting at Charleston,
but nothing of importance has been affected.
The Government has official advices from
Gen. Burnside that his marches and victor
les in East Tennessee and Southern Vr-
ginia are eminendy satisfactory. and that
in almost every case the rebels have been
whipped and worsted. Gen. Burnside de-
clares that there is not more loyal people
living than are found IN East Tennessee.

4 Eight with Indians.

On the 81 Of September, about goo miles
north of Fort Pierre, Dacotah Territory. a
great battle occurred between 500 Indians
aud tie b Iowa aud 81 Nebraska cavalry,
under command of Gen. Sully The In
dams fought like demons. and The fight was
continued all day. After the third round,
the 81 Nebraska advanced to within thirty
yards of the enemy, and poured round after
round into the conglomerated mass of In-
dams. squaws. papooses. ponies and dogs, the
mingled noise of hich was the most hide
Gus that ever racked human ears. The en-
envy escaped during the night, leaving ev-
erything behind them including squaws
and children. On the 4th there were sew
eral sharp fights. All the evidences of ut
ter Decentralization and precipitate fight were
met with, nothing being seen of the Indians
after the engagements of the 5'h. Our loss
during The three days fighting amount to 6
killed and wounded. There we're 800 In
dams killed, great number wounded and
about 800 taken prisoners. Chiefs are
coming in every day and giving themselves
up. Thousands of small articles have been
taken by our troops that these wretehes
took frem the Minnesota people during the
massaeres. l. is estimated that the loss of
their personal property is greater to the In
dams than the destruction of New York
would be TO Times

SHELBY OK THE Run.

After his inglorious defeat at Marshall,
Shelby divided his command into two col
umns, one passing Waverly the next morn
ing, took southwesterly course, eluding
our forces, and passed near Warrensburg
early on the morning of the 18th inst. The
other eluding Gen. Browns command,
passed down the BoonvilIe and Warsaw
road.
All communication between Generals
Brown and Ewing were either miscar7ied
or interrupted by the guerllas, hence they
failed to cooperate throughout the entire
chase Gen Ewing's cavalry was nearly
all separated from the rest of his command,
thoroughly for information as to the move
ments of the enemy.
ALA NJ, on the morning of the 5tE,
Gen Ewing left Knob Noster and came by
Warrens burg. reaching Shelby's trail three
hours behind the column, at Chihowe. and
will pursue him as long as the enemy keep
together.
At least two full squadrons of fresh cav
airy have been sent from this District, to
strike the enemy as he may cross the Usage
Col. Weer was about three miles behind
General Ewing in hot pursuit, about three
O'Clock in the morning. Col. Lazear, 1st
No. S. NJ, was to leave Warrensburg the
same morning, going in northwest direc-
ton. on venture as to the enemy's move
ments. Col. Neil, 9th Provisional, was also
to leave Warrensburg on the same morning.
and go to Clinton that day. The 7th Mo,
camped the night before, seventeen miles
southeast of Lexington, but no information
from the Mo. troops has been received here
since. Gen. Ewing dispatched messengers
to Fort Scott Immediately upon striking
Shelby trail, advising the officer in com
mand of the probable course of the enemy.
According to the disposition of our troops
up to last advices, we are encouraged to be
lieve, that the rebel Col. Shelby will leave
the State, If at all. with several hundred less
men than when he entered it.
