1t is one of the most remarkable Incl
dents of the last year or two of political
conflict in the Northern States. that the
Republican leaders, by the force and
stringency of party drill that never has
been parallelod in the United States, have
constrained their adherents to read no
newspaper that did not have their sane
ton, and to listen to no speech that was
not spoken by one Of their own psrtisans.
And this in a country which. boosted of
its enlightenment of the freedom of
press and OF speech and proclaimed,
through the most authoritaay,e exponents
of the sentiment Of its people, that even
error might be safely tolegatel, while rea-
son was left free to combat it
1t 81 not to be wondered at perhaps, in
the maze and whirl Of the most exciting
events that have Sny where transpired
during the century, that the masses of the
Republicans di3 not pause TO know what
a moments Esnection would have taught
them, viz chat their leaders had a cause
which wOald not bear discussion, anC
that their proi,cribed, calumnisted, anC
persecated opponents, only needed thu
listening ear of the people, to convinc
them of the justice, righteousness, an'
patriotism of their cause.
In the name of all that is dear and pre-
cious to us as people, let this mont ruin
GUS and stupid bigotry be ersdicated fror

us, threaten all alike. If there is sti
hope for us, in the midst of what seems
universal wreck, it is only to be found

The very bold and audacious raid of

the sternness of the Federal forces in that

proclamation, of which the following is an
extract:

Sissetons Anxious for Peace:
The TetOnS Preparing TO Cross
the Missouri.

The scouts at the "Head Of the Coteau"
northwest from Lake Travers have written
to General SHELLEY under date of the Oath
ultimo, that they have held communica-
ton with some of the Sioux Indians from
the upper country. These Indians report
that most of the Sissetons are, as before
stated, anxious for peace. They are
encamped near Big Mound" on the Mis-
souri, Coteau, to the number of two hun
dred and twenty lodges. The Yanktonais
are expected to arrive in the same neigh
borhood shortly. The Teton Sioux are
assembling on the bank of the Missouri
River preparatory to crossing to this side,
as they say there are no buffalo in their
country and they will starve if they re-
main their. They will be governed by
the course of the Yanktonais as to peace
or war with the Americans.

The Indianapolis Sentinel states that
some days ago Pennsylvania regiment
left that city for the front, over the Jeffer-
sonville railroad. At several places on its
route acts of lawlessness were committed.
The regiment stopped at Franklin a short
time, and while there soGe OF the soldiers
completely riddled the Herald office, which
had just been fitted up after similar de-
moltion few weeks previous. When
the train arrived at Vienna, Gen. GRANT
happened to be there. Upon being in
formed of the conduct of the regiment,
he inquired of one of its officers if any
officers or men were sober. The officer
replied that few of them were. He then
gave orders for the car doors to be locked,
the sober men stationed upon the plat
forms, with instructions to shoot down all
who offered any act of characterization.
In addition, he ordered the regiment to
be placed under arrest upon its arrival at
Louisville.

veteran Reserves.

An order has been issued from the Fro.
vost Marshal Generals Office, at Washing
ton, which states that the name of the Or
ganization authorized by the War Depart
ment as the Invalid Corps, is changed tie
that of the Veteran Reserve Corps, and
that all orders relating to the Invalid Corps
will remain in force as at present with re-
spect to the Veteran Reserve Corps. This
is change Of name that will no doubt be
hailed with great pleasure by the gallant
soldiers in this corps, and will greatly in
crease its present high and we'll deserved
popularity. Three years of hard fighting
have given our brave soldiers of our Un-
ion armies a just title to be called veter.
ans, in the noblest and truest sense of the
term We have now Veteran Volunteers
and Veteran Reserves; molly have they
earned their name, and proudly will they
protect the title and gloriously wear its

Fort RIDGLEY, March %. 1861.
To the Editor Of the Pioneer:
The Fort was thrown into considerable cx-
element this morning by the news that q
prisoner by the name of Richard Wilson. be-
longing to Company l, Second Cavalry, con.
fined on the charge of desertion, had esca-ed.
When it was first discovered that the bird had
flown, which was about seven o'clock this
morning, Col. Pfeander Immediately dispatch
ed detachments of cavalry in different direc-
rections, with orders to bring him back dead
or alive, but up to present writing none have
returned. He escaped between two and three
O'Clock this morning, stole horse belonging
to citizen living about seven miles from here,
and it is supposed took the road for Sioux
City. This is the second time he has escaped
from the Guard House. The first time he was
caught after ride of forty miles, placed in
close confinement with ball and chain. ("
which he filed off, pryed the bars from the
window and ''skedaddlcd" He is hard

out the service of such fellows.
This morning the body of man was discov-
cred by citizen, lying by the way sde about
two miles from the Fort, which was afterwards
identified as that of q soldier belonging to
Lieut.. Westerns section of the Sd Battery, sta
toned here by the name of Hans Olson. He
left here on last Saturday to go bear hunting
and this is the first tidings they have had of
him. He was addicted to drinking, and it is
supposed he became intoxicated, laid down to
take nap, fell asleep and froze to death. His
body was brought to the Fort and buried with
military honors.
He leaves no family to mourn his loss. He
was Norwegian by birth, and shoemaker by
trade, and when sober had the reputation of
being good workman.
