The present, when the State is actu-

toindulge in untavorabe reflections upon
the motives of men or parties so far as
they may relate to matters affecting the
welfare of the Government; but the
record we have given stands indelible
and will not be blotted out The con-
clusion must be irresistible to every can
did mind that the leaders of the Peace
Democracy in their intense partisan zeal
and their bitter hatred of those who are
and have been honestly and earnestly
straining every nerve to end this cruel
war by crushing out the rebellion, have
manifested wanton recklessness of con-
sequences totally inexcusable, for which
the country and history will not fail to

Surely no man in the State has stronger
claim ON our gratitude than Col. Miller, and
no portion of the State so fully entitled to be
represented in the gubernatorial chair as
northern Minnesota. Universally loved as
Col. Miller is by all the soldiers with whom he
has ever met, he would receive their undivid-
ed vote, thus making his election sure.

would, if deemed advisable, make himself

GEN. SULLY'S EXPEDITION.

Mr.. Byron Smith, who has just arrived
from Yankton, Dakota Territory, reports
that, on the LIST of August, Gen: Sully's
Expedition had only reached a point IL
miles above Fort Pierce, and 100 miles
below the point on the Missouri from
which, on the same day, Gen. Sibley, hay
ing driven tie Sioux across the river,
started back on his return. Gen. Sully
was detained by the extreme difficulty in
moving his transportation, owing to the
lowness Of the water. He was trying to
get tho boats up to point whence he
could start his trains over a good road.-
1t is not impossible that, in the fortAis ht
which has elapsed since Gen Sibleys. left
the Missouri, Gen. Sully may have inter-
cepted the Indians and finished the spua-
ishmcnt inflicted upon them by the for
mer. As Gen. Sully' command are all
cavalry, he can move with celebrity when
he once gets fairly started, and xe enter
tain considerable hope that he may have
overtaken the cowcd and demo1ai.ed
Sioux, and spread the plains Of the Upper
Missouri with a second repast of dead In
dams fer the wolves and buzzards. -- Press.

broken, but their prospeets tor the future
are hopeless indeed, for they can scarcely
escape starvation during the approaching
winter" { / &c I I
1 Unless the Indiana should; see 6t5to gov
eru themselves BY Gen. s.'siprogsamlnae
aud remain where heashas driven chem,
We scarcely think tho above reason will
be considered satisfactory. The e1haus.
ton of the men and animals may have
been sufficient cause for not continuing
the pursuit, but why they could not have
remained in the position then attained,
sending for supplies, until Gen. sully's
arrival, and then being in situation to
render actiye cooperation, does not ap.
pear in 50 clear light. j.
The amount Of stress laid upon the
loss of provisions and stores belonging ia
the fleeing redskins, does not seem to be
justified. Unless there should be some
deep.laid stroke of strategy in store on
the part Of Gen. Sully, Of which outsiders
are in total ignorance and which is OBJ
scure to eyes not gifted with military in
sight, whereby he will be able to accom-:
plish great results with the very little as:
sistance rendered by Gen. Sibley, the de.
struction Of pemmican will not result in
so great benefit as is claimed. It will
compel the Iniians to divide into small
parties, and gain subsistence by torays on
the frontier settlements, thus throwing
them into their most dangerous character
Unlike Saxon troops, their greatest sue
cess does not lie in concentration. y
The marching back Of Gen. Slbley, af
ter having killed one hundred and fifty
Indians (if SO many and destroyed ton
or so Of buffalo meat and robes, leaving
the enemy covering the opposite banks
with their thumb to their nose, the
outstretcbed fingers performing gyrations
of highly suggestive character, and firing
on the troops volley almost as they were
turning their backs to depart-this, with
the commanding officers boastfal order
seems too puerile to be regarded with feel
ings other than Of chagrin, amounting al.
most to disgust. "
Unless events should develop them
selves differently from what is now prom
.ised, Gen. Siblcy's expedition must be
considered as an unmitigated failure, and
that officer deserving Of the severest cen.
sure. Nothing has been accomplished to
justify the loss Of life-even though moi
large-and the great expense that has
been incurred. Should it be shown that
this officer has been acting strictly under
orders for Gen. Pope, then will the blame
be transferred.
