How the War is Conducted.

We invite attention to two letters published
this morning, one being from a soldier of our
Tenth Regiment in Kentucky, and the other
from a reliable Minnesotian in North Carolina.
Our readers may remember the cry of the Rad
icals in the early part of the war that Union
soldiers were being made to stand guard over
secesh property, that Union Generals were
afraid of hunting the rebels, &c. Since the
Radicals have gained control, and protection
of southern property has been stopped, we
have seen the rebels I'm Ter accumulated defeat
only grow more earnest in fighting. The once
much talked of Union sentiment of the South
exists now only in connection with cotton and
greenbacks, or government patronage, while
the guerillas-irregular bands of desperate cit
izens-infct every indignity and horror upon
those of our troops who fall into their hands
that deadly spirit of revenge can invent. If
these letters do not illustrate the chief causes
of our ill-success in restoring the Union, tley
at least furnish matter for most serious reflec-
ton to every honest Union man of the North.

Our exchanges from all parts of the State
speak OF the great rains which have prevailed
for the last few days. The amount of water
which has 1allen is unusually great. Streams
are swollen and doing great damage in the de-
struction OF bridges culverts, &C., and farmers
nave been retarded in their spring work to
such an extent that AZ much ground will not
be planted as usual
We have been furnished by DR.. Matthews
VINO keeps very complete record of meteor
oioglcal observations, with some figures in ref
erence to the late deluge, which are full of in
terest. The amount of rain that fell in April
was 3:23 inches. Up to Saturday morning the
amount Of rain fallen during the month of
May was was 4:76 inches This makes about
6lnches In less than month and half. Upto
last Friday there had been y rainy days since
the 1st OF April. Between ! p. NJ of last Thurs
day and Saturday morning 2:73 inches fell.
The longest period without rain since tue 1st
was only seven days. These statements are
certainly remarkable.
The Genesee on Sunday had risen great
DEAL and had about reached high water mark
Several trees, which had been undermined by
the water, tcalhe floating down the current
and there was the usual amount of small drift
wood in addition. The Falls must have pre-.
sented fine appearance on Saturday and yes
terday. The color of the water was far from
agreeable to the eye, as it contained in solu-
ton almost too much of the rich soil of the
valley through which the river flows. but the
amount OF water must have been all that could
be desired

To the Editor Of the Pioneer:
We are still in Newbern safe and secure

say of several other places we have held You
are aware We have given up large share OF
North Carolina and our forces row hold a
precious little outside of Newbern and Beau.

strategy demands these things but it is very
hard on citizens who have always stood uI
manfully and at every sacrifice-yes ereyy sac.
ritice- for the Union. Hard too on many Nor.
thern men and their families.
You have already had accounts of the Plym
Outh affair--the surrender of Gen. VESSEL
Our men did well there, and we have nothing
to blush for in that disaster. Not so, howey-
err at Washington, North Carolina oul
commander has issued an order that even falls
short OF expressing his Indignation at the con
duct OfsOme of our men in the Washington
affair. Did / say men ?-they should never be
called men or soldiers, but cOwar(lly villains
who have disgraced the national uniform and
the proud flag under which We fight Every
decent man here hopes the beasts may be pro-
perly punished. r5ut that will now be of but
little service to the unfortunate women who
were the victims of their outrages.
on Saturday the rebels sent in a flag OF truce
demanding a surrender of Newbcrne We only
laughed at them, for we knew they had not
men enough in the State to take Newberne.
But it mav.b be rough with US when Lee eyacu-
ates Virginia, as he will, and probably beats
Grant in the foot race down this way That's
what we are thinking about now. l ap.

ANOTHER CALL FOR TROOPS.
Dispatch from Col. Fry to Col
Averill.
Drafting for Deficiencies Under
Former Calls to Commence
on Monday.

Col. AvERILL received yesterday the follow
idg dispatch from Provost Marshal Fay:
WASHINGTON 10 A. NJ, 10th May.
To Lieut. Colonel AvERILL:
Confer with the State authorities and en-
deavor to get the Districts and Sub-Districts
to commence raising men at once with view
to the new call referred to in dispatch Of yes
terday from the Secretary of War to Gen DIX.
1t viii be greatly to the advantage Of the
different towns, counties, &C., to save time by
commencing Immediately on assumed quotas
Spare no efforts to complete revision of
the enrolment at the earliest possible day.
The exact new quotas will be based upon it.
I want it reported to me by tenth of June.
JAMES B. FRY,
Provost Marshal General.
The dispatch from the Secretary Of War to
Gen. DIX, referred to by Col. Far. has not
been received, owing to break in the line
but the above dispatch tells the story. More
men are wanted, probably "three hundred
thousand more" and the formal call from the
President will not long be delayed. TIE quota
of Minnesota under call for this number is a
little less than three thousand, from which, We
presume, will be deducted the excuses OF
towns which are ahead on former calls. The
quotas will be apportioned, and the draft made
under the forthcoming call, from revised en-
rOllment.
We learn from the Provost Marshal of the
State that drafting from deficient towns, under
former calls, has been ordered fer Monday
next. Col. Fry has s:nt dispatch to Colonel
AvERILI, urging him to put it through as
soon as possible. and therefore no further post
popen:ents are likely to occur.

Our Army Correspondence.
From the 4th Regiment at Hunts.
VILE, Alabama.

To the Editor Of the Pioneer
HUNTSVILLE, Gala, May g. 1864.
The Regiment arrived at this its old camp
ing ground, May End. Our trip from st. Paul
to this point was fully rs agreeable as such
journeys usually are. Uncle Samuels accom-
modations never being first class, and the tenn
perature of Illinois, particularly throughout
the region rejoicing in the name of Egypt;
being cold, drizly and disgusting generally.
of sight of that pest hole, Cairo, everything
was charming. I do not recolect of having
made more pleasant excursion in my life than
the one we made up the Cumberland upon the
good steamer McCombs. The banks of this
most beautiful river, were decked in the soft
ers and singing birds and all the glories of ma
ture were out, so the veterans quickly became
reconciled to the change. and homesickness
died away with the departure of the first day
in Dixie's Land.
We arrived at Nashville, Tenn, May LIST.
Transportation being limited, the regiment
was sent to Huntsville in two separate detach-
ment The first leaving for that place Mon
day morning, the second detachment the same
evening. We arrived all safe, and most Won
derfully exempt from collisions and general
smash ups.
Our brigade is at present stationed at this
point, and with good prospects Of remaining
during the summer. The Fourth is on duty
continually for the various purposes of guard
and provost duty.
We are looking daily for developments from
the 'front.' Indications of tremendous battle
at or near Atlanta are perceptible, and no doubt
we shall soon hear important news. There
are rumors of an impending attack from For
rest upon this place. Should this happen, we
apprehend an interesting little fight upon our
own account. Fortifications have been thrown
up and all due precautions taken against the
eDemy's advance.
Our little town is just as beautiful as ever,
far the prettiest place in the Confederacy, with
very little of the appearance of war. and
though we are kept very busy, still we find
our situation far preferable to any occupied by
us previously during our army experience.

Indian Attack on the Frontier.
A Foray into the Spirit Lake
Country.
Three Indians Killed and Two
Wounded.
A WHITE BOY KILLED AND TWO
SOLDIERS WOUNDED.

A special messenger arrived at District Head.
quartersThursday night, with dispatches to Gen.
SHELLEY, which report that on the 10th instant,
q sergeant and private belonging to a post in
Brigadier General SuLLY's District, ut S,irit
Lake in Iowa. were attacked while on a scout,
by ten Sioux Indians. In the skirmish that
ensued, three Indians were killed and one
wounded, and the sergeant. WHIrLocK by
name, was also severely wounded, but sue
decided by the aid OF his companion in reaching
the post.
On the night of the 18th, boy named JAR
GAsoN was killed while passing at q late hour
from his fathers house to Chanyushka station.
And on the 18th, q soldier of Captain WILSON'S
company of the 9th regiment, at Lake Hanska,
was badly wounded by an Indian, on the arm
and breast, while fishing, but managed to es-
cape to the post. The boy was not scalped.
1t is quite probable that the outrages were
all committed by the same party, although
special messenger was sent from District
Headquarters q week since, to Lient- Colonel
PFAHNDER commanding the Southwest in
forming him that the scouts at the head of the
COteau mad gwen warning mat some smal
parties were on their way to the settlements
with hostile intent, and directing him to give
the requisite orders to the commandments of the
several outposls to be on their guard, and keep
out patrolling parties in all directions The
scouts could not state whether the Indians
would 60 in the direction of the Missouri, or
towards the settlements in Iowa and Min
nesota.
There are armed parties Of our troops in
pursuit of the Indians, and it is to be hoped
they will be successful in capturing and de-
stroying the perpetrators.
The above information embraces all that hes
been received, although it is possible other
villainies have been perpetrated by the red
devils.

rendered 1t secure against any hankiDg move
ment. For this great service as vel as in
reward was former gallant deeds, Gen. MEADE
supported by the previous earnest recommen-
dations of Generals HOOKER, PORTER and Bur-
TERRIFIED, had him appointed Brigadier Gen
eral in which position he participated in the
advance upon Mine Run, passed through the
perils of the Wilderness. and met his death
amid the carnage on the banks of the Pc.
The family Of General J. j. OWENS, at Phil
adelphia, have received information of the
Generals death from the effect Of severe
wound received in the battle of the Wilderness.
Gen. OWNS entered the service in 1861 as
Colonel of the Sixty-ninth Pennsylvania regi-
ment, which has been attached to the Second
brigade of the Second division of the Second
army corps almost ever since its formation.
Colonel OWENS distinguished himself in com
mand of the regiment throughout the Peninsu-
la campaign, the brigade then being command
ed by Brig Gen. BuENs. During the Seven
Days Retreat, at the battle of Glendale, Gen.
HOOKER, who was being hard pressed, called
on the passing divisions for aid, and Colonel
OWENS icesAnchs caAAio " ND aSSAstaucS Will
such great promptness, and rendered such es-
sential service as to win Gen. HooKER's lasting
gratitude; and when the latter succeeded to
the command of the Army of the Potomac he
caused Col. OWENS to be appointed Brigadier
General, and in that position he participated
IN the battles of Charlottesville, Bristow Sta
ton, and the tatal-to him-struggle in the
Wilderness.
Among those who fell in the late terrible
battles beyond Charlottesville, was Henry
Livermore Abbott, son of Hon. Josiah q.
Abbott, of Boston, Major of the Twentieth
Massachusetts. He was graduate of Harvard
College in the class of 1860, with his eldest
brother Edward, afterwards q captain in the
Second regiment, who was killed at the battle
of Cedar Mountain
