From Fort Abercrombie.

Gen. sibley received dispatches from
Fort Abercrombie Monday, stating, that
a party sent out from the Fort to the Big
Bend of the Sheyenne river, came across
ten canoes of Chippewa's of Otter-Tails
band, who had just returned from visit
to the hostile Sioux in the vicinity of
Devils Lake. These Ohippewas confirmed
the reports that several parties of Sioux
were on the way to the settlements.
A mounted Indian was seen near Fort
Abercrombie few days ago, supposed
from the fact of being mounted, to be
Sioux scout. A party was sent out to
reconnoiter, but could find no other trail.
The report that large body of Indians
were encamped near Madelia, about 80
miles from Mankato proves to be false.

The Democracy and the Government.

The Democracy and the Government,
The Providence Post, speaking of the
course and demea nor of the Democratic
party towards the Government during the
past four years of war, says truly:
Impartial history will decide that the op-
position party of 1S60-'64 was loyal
party in the highest, truest and most de-
serving sense. 1t was for the sustenance
OF the Government. It was for the pre-
servation of the integrity OF our territory.
1t was tor the prosecution of the war upon
and by virtue of constitutional principles.
The historian who records from a high
standpoint the progress of the conflict,
will describe the free sacrifices made by
the people of all parties in aid of the au-
thority OF the Government, while he will
pay just tribute to that devotion to princi-
pie of the Democratic party which kept it
ever, even under obloquy, misrepresenta-
ton and danger, true to the assertion and
maintenance of those fundamental princi-
pies which underlie and sustain all free
Governments. 1t has been watchful, with
out being factious. It has been loyal to
the Government, without being treacher-
Gus. to principle; and upon the recognition
of its doctrines depends the solution
speedily and favorably of the immensely
questions which are Fastening
to be disposed Of o's,t o. a1

,,,,neso,o Central Railroad.

- The NEGOTIATIONS for a consolldatlon OF
the Minnesota Central and the Winona
and St. Peter railroad, have failed, for the
present, at least 1t was supposed that
the union would be effected, and upon the
strength of this supposition, work was
commenced on the Central line between
Owatonna and Faribault, and on the WI
mona and St. Peter line between Roches-
ter and Owatonna. Iraa s,q ia ,grg.
The failure to consolidate has re-
suited in change of programme
on the part of the managers of
the Central. Instead of working
below Faribault, We understand orders
have been received to are-commence
work between ST. Paul and Minneapolis,
ond Faribault, and to push it with the ut
most vigor to completion. The. iron has
been purchased and will soon be here if we
have reasonable stage OF water for a few
weeks longer. q. a.5iq. 5eJ. f I
+, 1t makes little difference to the people
of this section which end of tie line is
first completed. What we most desire is
railroad connection with the East at the
earliest practicable moment; but we are
by no means Indifferent to the advantages
which will accrue to St. Paul from railroad
intercourse with Central and Southern
Minnesota.

Indians near Ma delia-.Measures {
Protection Adopted. = . -

r., RECORD OFFICE, MANKATO, May IA, 1865. \
To the Editor of the Pioneer: -. - +.
There is dearth of interesting news in this
section of the State at the present time; and
for the brief respite from the excitment of the
past two weeks We are not unthankful, sr, !,
? The last news sent you was report of the
presence of a large body of Indians eight miles
beyond Madelia. This intelligence came
through Lieut.. Van Dorm, in command at Ma
delia to whom it was impaired by Norwe-
gian named Jergensen, living at what is known
as "Jergensen's Station" four miles beyond
Madelia. Next day soldier arrived here
from the latter post and pronounced Jergen-
sens. report canard, the soldiers having
thoroughly investigated the matter. Since
then, however, we have from reliable author
ity the intelligence that two Indian ponies
were found and captured on the prairie by the
soldiers on Thursday afternoon, after the time
Jergensen claims to have seen the Indians.
Mr. Bundery, living two miles this side of Ma
della says that the same afternoon the Indians
stole a calf from his place, and in tracking
them into the timber he found where they
had cut its throat at butchered it. I.sl.a
Lieut.. A. D. Mason, of Vernon Centre, re.
ports that on Saturday morning before day
light some Indians were providing around one

men were posted, five miles west of Vernon,

but their dogs drove the Indians away. They
went on to house half q mile distant, but
did not modest anything, and then disappeared
in the timber. 4 small detachment Of COM

Abuse of Gen. sherman.

Some of the radical journals still contin-
ue their abuse of General SHERMAN, but
the meanest attack we have recently OBJ
served is contained in the Chicago Tribune
of Saturday last. After Neutrality-suspicious.
explanations that have occurred to the
mind of the editor of the agreement with
JOHNSTON, not forgetting sHERMAN's Sim
sanity" he says the true explanation has
not been given to the public, and proceeds
to give it, as follows:
1T is, in brief, that Gen. Sherman finding
himself the second man in the eyes of the ma
ton upon the dissolution of the rebellion, in
head OF the pro-slavery party of the country
me reactionists of the South and the Copper
heads OF the North-by an extraordinary act
OF Cancellation, by sending the rebels home in
\ organized bodies, with arms in their hands to
be delivered to other rebels whom he organized
as tne Governors and Legislatures of their re-
spective states, and BY leaving slavery under
lures. .'nors ana Legisia-
If such was the real meaning of the Sherman
Johnston memorandum-if it was predicated.
as is assumed by our informants. upon n zeal
ousy VI Tue mau WHO occupied the first posi-
ton before the country, Gen. Grant Would nat.
urally have been restrained from doing anv
act which would imply that he was discom.
posed BY the manifestation, such as removing
General Sherman from the command of the
army at Raleigh.
Whatever else may be said of this explana-
ton it does certainly answer many of the re.
quirements of the problem which are not
otherwise answered. If it be replied that
such o theory involves doubt as to General
Sherman's loyalty, what must be said of the
admitted facts of the case-the recognition of
the rebel State governments, for instance?
Loyalty is word of obscure meaning to many
minds, &C., &C.
If the people of this country shall allow
their regard for Gen. SHERMAN to be i'm
paired in the least by such miserable SLAM
ders as the above, we have entirely mis-
conceived their character.

Responsibility for Indian H"ids'

IF there is one paper in the country that
has lauded Gen. PORE in more ext ira
can't terms than all others, it is theiSt.
Paul Press. His Virginia campaign, &C,
cordipg to the Press, was mastery con-
ception. and its comparative failure in exc
cutiou was due only to the treachery Of
MCCLELLAN and FITz JOHN PORTER. From
the time when POPE assumed command of
this Department, that journal has given
him nothing but sugared words. Judge,
then, of our establishment on reading the
following from yesterdays Press:
That hostile Indians are invading the frontier
of Minnesota to-day is directly due to the pur-
blind stupidity, the arrogance, ignorance and
conceit which has governed the military ad-
ministration of the Department Of the North
west, headquarters at Milwaukee and st. Louis.
We have had occasion to criticise the
character of Gen. PORE in time past with
considerable severity, but we are not con-
scious of having used more derogatory
language than the above. The Press goes
on to say that Gen. PoPE is alone respon-
sible for the continuance of the Indian war,
and trusts -. HE l,.
that Gen. Curtis, who recently visited the
State to ascertain the actual state of affairs, will
take some way to let the truth be known at
Washington. 1t can never reach the Govern
ment as long as Gen. Pope is the sole official
medium of communication with the War De-
nartment from this State ., .'
It is mistake to suppose that the &C
tual state of affairs cannot be made known
to the Washington authorities save through
Gen. PORE. Our Governor and our Sena-
tors and Representatives in Congress are
much better informed of the condition of
their constituents than Gen. POPE, and it
is their duty to impart this information to
the Government, and to demand an eff
Gent military force for the protection of
the frontier. It is not complimentary to
say that oar Congressional delegation is
without influence at the War Department
or with the President of the United States.
What would be said if the authorities of
the State of Vermont, for instance, in con-
nection with its Congressman, were unable
to secure from the Government adequate
protection from Canadian raids?
Our members of Congress never COM
plain of their lack of influence when they
ask the votes of the people, or when they
propose rewards for political friends, or
punishments for enemies. Now, when the
interests of the whole people are at stake,
it is hoped they will use their official and
personal power for the public good.
If this miserable war with the Sioux is
continued four years longer, by reason Of
military inefficiency, Governor MILLER and
Messrs. RAMSEY, NORTON, WNDoM and
DoNNsLLY will be held responsible, unless
it shall appear that they have endeavored
to change the programme now pursued by
the Government and Gen. POPE.

A letter from a correspondent states
that Brackets Battalion arrived at the
Missouri River, near the mouth of the Big
Sioux, on the 3Oth of April, fourteen days
from st. Peter. The command laid over
one day on account of severe snow and
rain storm. The health of officers and
men was excellent, the reports of the sur
geon being made in blank. Over thirteen
steamers had passed the mouth of the Big
Sioux, loaded with passengers and freight,
bound for Idaho. The following is the
only incident of the march which our cor
respondent relates. Last year, while the
command was on the way west, one ofthe
men of Capt. ERELEYis company lost a
double cased silver watch, and after dill
gent search, failed to find it. This spring
BRACKET camped on the same ground, and
