Friday morning, Oct. 3, 1862. The Condition or our*Army. We have never yet transferred to these col umns a letter from our special army correspon dent, which we desired so earnestly to impress npon the attention and hearts of the people of the 8onth, as that which we publish to day. We can add no force to the urgency of the appeal, and impart no tint to the melancholy and heart rendering picture. The heart of every patriot will bleed as his eyes pass over the record of suffering and distress. Iu Heaven’s name let it not be a record of our shame ! And now let the people go to work—all the people, men, women and children—and do something for the brave, yet naked and half- starved soldier who is fighting for their liberties. Many are able to do very much, and a- little from all will place the entire army beyond the reach of want and suffering. Let it bo given, and promptly. We tremble for our noble troops when we think of the ap proaching winter. To work efficiently, there mast be union and organization amoDg the people. Then, let Sol dier’s Aid Associations be formed iu every county and neighborhood of the Confederate 8tatcs—the smaller the district the better—and let all lend a helping hand to the good cause Let the men supply the money and the materials, and the women eee that the latter are wrought into comforts for the soldier. With but half an effort, even in spite of the great scarcity that pervades the whole country, v/e can place oar army beyond the reach of want. Begin immediately, work diligently, and WORK WITHOUT CEASING. We have another proposition to make: The Press can do much in this Important matter. Let ever paper in the Confederate States copy the letter of our correspondent, and accompa ny it with a direct appeal to its readers for aid. get the ball in motion at once, and keep it rolling until the sacred duty of humanity and patriotism shall have been fully accomplished. mm. "VOL T,~XT. B 'JtoIID-A-V, QGTQB The Indians and the Yankees.—It will be seen, from the article copied from a Wiscon sin paper, that (he Yankees concede that the Indians of the Northwest have pronounced in favor of the South in the present war, and "now stand lif the relation of allies to the Confederate States. We cannot say that we are proud of an alliance with a race as cruel and remorseless as the Yankees themselves, yet the fact stands be fore the world, and forms a sound basis lor ar gument against certain proceedings of the ene- myrwith regard to paroled prisoners. Whether allies or not, the breaking out of this Indian war has completely changed the circum stances under which the cartel of exchange of prisoners was agreed to, and gives an undue ad. vantage to the enemy. If these paroled prison ers were not sent to fight the Indians, the ne cessary troops would have to be taken frbm the rest of the population, and consequently the power of the enemy, as against us, weakened to that extent. Under existing facts, though, their paroled prisoners are no loss, for they put them dire. !y in the field again, and, as it np- >. pears, in effect, to fight against ns again. ' Under these circumstances our government should adopt some measuro to force the enemy to respect the cartel, or else consider itself wholly discharged from the agreement. They are breaking it outrageously enough in their lines on the Potomac, where hundreds o[parol ed prisoners have, in violation # of good faith and honorable dealing, been unblushingly re admitted to the ranks. Many of these scamps were captured in recent battles, and we trust the government has ordered every jnan of them tobe6hot. This, after all, is about the only parole to which a Yankee invader, of our soil— a conspirator against our homes—is juBtly entitled. Siegel and McDowell.—-The Cincinnati Volksblatt, a German paper, publishes a letter purporting to give the particulars (by an eye witness) of the difficulty between Siegel and McDowell, reported some days ago. The Sub stance of it is that siegel, while engaging the enemy, observed McDowell waviDg a handker chief to the rebels. He. immediately rode up and demanded an explanation The reply being very insulting, Siegel resented it with a pistol shot, the ball striking McDowell’s scabbard. The Volksblatt states that Siegel will resign if not relieved from service in his present posi tion. Rumors from toe North.—A gentleman who arrived at Senatobia, direct from Cairo, ■ informed the operator at the former place that he had seen the Cincinnati Commercial, which admitted that in the battle on Wednesday Mc Clellan was worsted and lost a number of pris oners. It pronounced the despatches to the contrary bogus. The same paper also admitted the surrender of the forces at Mnnfordsville. The Florida Troops.—In reply to many re quests from our friends in Florida, we would state that our correspondent has ever had them in mind, and if he has not given them full In formation concerning their friends in the army, it was simply because such a thing was impos sible. See the closing paragraph of his letter published to-day. • Mr. Joseph Durnen, the Telegraph operator at WilmingtoD, N. C., died there, of yellow fever, Monday night. Brig. Gen. A. R. Wright arrived in Augusta, Tuesday last. His wound was gradually im proving. 22T* The Richmond mail failed to come to hand last evening. The Senatorial Flection. Savannah, Oct. 2d, 1863. Mr. Editor:—The ensuing Legislature will have to elect a Senator to represent Georgia in the Confederate Senate, in place of the Hon.' K. Toombs. Never was there a period—and in all likelihood there never will be—when a greater circumspection should be exercised by the Leg islature than now. We want patriotism, char acter and talent. AmoDg the galaxy qf distin guished gentlemen in Georgia, none are so eminently competent as the Hon. H,erschel V: Johnson, ol Jefferson. Let old party bicker ings be lorgotten, and let all unite on this dis tinguished son of Georgia. ^ Respectfully yours, Middle Georgia. Death of Idaj.Spalding Nclntosh, The following letter to the family of Major McIntosh explains the manner of his lamented deathfED. Rep. My Dear Captain I telegraphed to my broth er that yonr eod, Mrj. Spalding McIntosh, was missing. * We have since found his body. He was shot through the heart with a musket ball whilst nobly discharging his duty, rallying skirmish ers early in the terrific battle of Sharpsbnrg, Maryland, 8ept. 17th, 1S62. His remains will be carefully cared for—if possible, be placed In the vault of Mr. Rutherford, Charlestown, Va., along with those Col. John B. Lamar, of Macon, Ga. Maj. McIntosh was a noble son of Georgia—worthy ol his name—generous, chiv alrous and brave, loved and esteemed, by us all. He lived a noble man, and died a death which will link his name with those whom old and young revere and admire. Be assured, my dear Captaiu, that all will be done that you could do were you present. Your friend, *** Shepherds town, Md., Sept. 18th, 1863. army correspondence Of the Savannah Republican. Onr Army, It* Great Deeds, Its Trials, SnGe rings, and Us Perils In Uie Future. Winchester, Va., Sept. 26,1S62. My condition is such as to render it impossi ble for me to rejoin the army for the present. I was not prepared for the hardships, exposures and fastings the army has encountered 6ince it left the Rappahannock, and like many a season, ed campaigner, have had to “fall out by the way.” Indeed, I cau recall no parallel instance in history, except Napoleon’s disastrous retreat from Moscow, where an army has ever done more marching and fighting, under such great disadvantages, than Gen. Lee’s has done since it left the banks of James river. It proceeded directly to the line of the Rappahannock, and moving out from that river, it fought its way to the Potomac, crossed that stream and moved on to Fredericktown and Hagerstown, had a heavy engagement at Boonsboro’ Gap, and an other at Crampton Gap below, fought the great est pitched battle of the war at Shsrpsburg, and then recrossed the Potomac back into Virginia. During all this time, covering the full space of a month, the troops rested but four days! And let it always be remembered to their honor, that of the men who performed this wonderful feat, one-fifth of them were barefooted, one- half of them In rags, and the whole of them half famished. The country from the Rappa hannock to the Potomac had been visited by the enemy with fire and 6Word, and our trans portation was insufficient to ‘keep the army supplied from so distant a base as Gordonsville; and when the provision trains would overtake tho army, so pressing were the exigencies of their position, the men seldom had time to cook. Their difficulties were increased by the fact that their cooking utensils, iu many cases, had been left behind, as well as everything else that would impede their movements. It was not unusual to 6ec a company of starving men have a barrel of Hour distributed to them, which it was utterly impossible for them to convert into bread with the means and the time allowed to them. They could not procure even a piece of plank or a corn or flour sack, upon wGfch to work up their dough. Do you wonder, then, that there should have beqn stragglers from the army ? That brave and true men should have fallen out of line from sheer exhaustion, or in their efforts to obtain a mouthful to eat along the roadside? Or that many seasoned veterans, the conquerors in the valley, at Richmond and Manassas, should have succumbed to disease and been forced back to the hospital ? I look to hear a great outcry raised against the stragglers. Already lazy cav alry men and dainty staff officers and quarter masters, who are mounted and can forage the country for something to eat, are condemning the weary private, who, notwithstanding^his body may be covered with dust and perspira tion, and his feet with stone bruises, is expected to trudge along under his knapsack and car tridge box, on an empty stomach, and never to turn aside for a morsel of food to sustain his sinking limbs. Out upon such monstrous in justice! That there has been unnecessary strag glers, is readily admitted; but in a large ma jority of cases, the men have only to point to their bleeding feet, tattered garments and gaunt frames for an answer to the unjust-chatge. No army on this continent ha3 ever accom plished as much or "suffered as much, as the army of Northern Virginia within the last three months. At no period during the first Revo lutionary war—not even at Valley Forge—did our forefathers in arms encounter greater hard ships. or endure them more uncomplainingly. But great as have been the trials to which the army has been subjected, they are hardly worthy to be named in comparison with the sufferings in store for it this winter, unless the people of the Confederate States, everywhere and in what- ■eyer circumstances, come to its immediate re lief. The men must have clothing and shoes this winter. They must have something fc to cover themselves when sleeping,' and to protect them selves from the driving sleet and snow storms when on duty. This must be done, though oar friends at home should have to wear cotton and sit by the fire. The army In Virginia stands guard this day, as it will stand guard this win ter, over every hearthstone throughout the South. The ragged sentinel who may pace his weary rounds this winter on the bleak spurs of the Blue Ridge, or along the frozen valleys of the Shenandoah and Rappahannock,will also be your sentinels, my friend, at home. It will be for you and your household that he encounters the wrath of the tempest and the dangers of the night. He suffers and tolls and fights for you, too, brave, true hearted women of the South.— Will you not clothe his nakedness then ? Will you not put shoes and stockings on his feet ? Is it not enough that he has written down his patriotism in crimson characters along the bat tle road from the Rappahannock “to the Poto mac ? And must his bleeding feet also Impress their mark of fidelity upon the snows of the coming winter ? I know what your answer will be. God has spoken through the women of the South, and they are his holy oracles in this day of trial and tribulation. It is not necessary to counsel violent meas ures ; but it is not expected that any person will be permitted to accumulate- leather and cloth for purposes of speculation. The necesi- ties of he army rise up like a mountain,and can not, and will not be overlooked! It was hoped at one time, that we might obtain winter sup plies in Maryland. This hope was born after the army left Richmond, and has now miserably perished., The Government is unable to furnish the supplies : for they are not to be had in the country. If it had exercised a little foresight last spring and summer, .when vessels were runningthe blockade, with cargoes of -calico, linen and other articles of like importance, a partial supply at least of hats, blankets,. shoes and woolen goods might have been obtained from England. But foresight is a quality of the mind that is seldom put in practice in these da But whatever may begone by the people, should be do}ie immediately.' Not one moment can be lost that will not be marked, as by the secondhand of a watch, with thq pangs of a sufferer. Already the hills mid valleys in tiffs high latitude have been visited by frost, and the nights are uncomfortably cool to the man who sleeps upon the ground. Como np, then, men and women ofiho South, to this sacred duty. Let nothing stand between you and the per formance of it. Neither pride, nor pleasure, nor personal ease and comfort, should withhold your "hands from the holy work. _ The supply oi leather and wool, we all know, is limited ; out do whst you can, and all you can, and as soon as you can. If you cannot send woolen socks, send half wOolen or cotton socks; and ao with under clothing, coats and pants. And if blan kets are not to be had, then substitute comforts made of dyed osnaburgs stuffed with cotton. Anything that will keep off the cold will be acceptable. Even the speculator and extortioner might forego their gains for a season, and unite ih this religious duty. If they neither cloth the naked, nor feed the hungry, who are fighting for their freedom, and for their homes and pro - perty, what right have they to expect anything but eternal damnation, both from God and man ? , If the Army of Virginia could mareh through the South just as it is—ragged and almost bare footed and hatless—many of the men limping aloDg and not quite well of their wounds or sickness, yet cheerful and not willing to aban don their places in the ranks—their clothes riddled with balls and their banners covered with the smoke and dust of battle, and shot into tatters, many of them inscribed with “Wil liamsburg,” “Seven Pines,” “Giinc3’ Mill,” “Garnett’s Farm,” “Front Royal,” “Mc Dowell,” “Cedar Run,” and other victorious fields—if this army of veterans, thus clad and shod, with tattered uniforms and banners, could march from Richmond to the Mississippi, it would produce a sensation that has no parallel in history since Peter the Hermit led his swel ling hosts across Europe to the rescue of the Holy Sepulchre. I do not write to create alarm, or to produce a sensation, but to arouse the people to a sense of the true condition of the army. I have yet to learn that anything is to be gained by sup pressing the truth, and leaving the army to suf fer. If I must withhold the truth when the ne cessities of the service require it to bo spoken, I am quite ready to return home. There is nothing new from the front. -It is reported that Jacksou crossed the river at Wil liamsport a few days ago to repair a road, which he might have occasion to use, and then return ed. I see nothing, however, to change the opinion heretofore fxpress^d, viz: that the heavy work of the campaign is over, unless Mc Clellan should seek us on the south side of the river. This, some believe, public opinion at the North will compel him to do. It may be so; though I doubt itV- I had made arrangements to procure full offi cial lists of the casualties in the Georgia, Ala bama and Florida regiments, as well as seme account of the performances of the troops lrom those States, nnd regret that 6ickness should have prevented me from carrying them out. P. V7. A. [From the Jackson Missfsaippian.] Tlie Battle of I-u»ka. We this morning conversed with Dr. Luke P. Blackburn, aid ol Gen. P/ice, who was with him at I-u-ka. Gen. Price was thrice ordered by Gen. Bragg to move his army across the Tennessee river at Eastport or I-n ka. On Thursday morning, tbe 11th, be moved his army of less than 14,000 men from Guntowu toward I-u-ka. By rapid and fQrced marches, he arrived within three miles of I-u-ka at daylight Sunday morning. There he was informed by a courier from Gen. Armstrong’s command, whose cavalryhad at tacked the enemy on Saturday, that reinforce ments were being sent from Burnsville. The men being much fatigued were ordered to rest, and sleep In line for thirty minutes. Gen. Price, knowing that Captain Saunders, with his company of 120 men, had possessed the road between I-u-ka and Burnsville, having implicit confidence in that officer, and he had no fear of reinforcements from Corinth until he should have captured the force at Barnesville and I-u-ka. The column was put in motion ; on reaching the edge of to wa lie was astonished^ to hear that the enemy, 2,000 strong, with 2,000 stolen negroes, and a large train had fled at one o’clock the night previous. He took posses sion of the place. There was a quantity of cotton and stores. The enemy came up again on Monday, in small force, but soon retreated. CoL Wirt Adams and Hieman’s cavalry cap tured and burnt a train of cars five miles below I-u-ka. There was no farther demonstration until Fri day morning, when Colonel Ord sent in a flag demanding the unconditional surrender of Gen eral Price’s army, stating that the army of Gen eral Lee haJ been destroyed in Virginia; Long- street and Hill, .with their entire divisions, captured; that tho war was now virtually closed, and as he wished to prevent the useless shedding of blood, he demanded an uncondi tional surrender. That he (General Price) was completely surrounded by an overwhelming force, and could not escape. General Price replied, that whenever the in dependence of the* Southern Confederacy was acknowledged, her rights respected, and the vandal hordes of the North were driven from her soil, that then, and then only, would he and his army be willing and ready to lay down their arms. General Price, in obedience to orders from General Van Dorn, and being almost destitute of forage, unable to cross the Tennessee river, prevented from passing down toward Corinth by the unfavorable condition of the country, the enemy having possession of* the western baDk of Yellow creek, determined to fallback to Baldwin, and there unite with General Van. Dorn. The order to fall back was issued on Friday morning, nine o’clock, when no one dreamed of an attack. On Friday evening, at two o’clock, the enemy in line of battle approached our oat post. Heavy skirmishing ensued. At three o’clock General Price ordered up Ihe 4th brig ade. When they reached their position they fonnd the enemy in line of battle holding a position on a hill. The order was given to charge them, which charge drove the enemy back two hundred yards into a ditch formed by the road from Fnlton to Eastport, and directly under their cannon, which were masked. Gen eral Price had now reached the field. The firing had almost ceased. General Hebert and CoL Martin, commanding brigade, with Whitficld’B legion, being all the force in line. Gen. Price ordered np General Gregg’s and Green’s brigades, to form on the left, charge the enemy and press them down on Gen. Mur ray’s division, he being on tbe right. Before the arrival of their brigades, Gen. Price ascer tained that the enemy were lying in the road, sheltered from our artillery. They were firing but one gun, and that on our right. The gallant and lamented Gen. Little sug gested that as they seemed to have but one gun in position, if the line would move forward, the battle could soon be won. The order was given. Our men emerged from under brush In line. They were then met by as terrific a fire from masked batteries and concealed mus ketry as was ever encountered. But the.invin- ble 3d Louisiana, Sd Tennessee, and 87th Ala bama, stood like statuary. When the* order to charge was given, they rushed headlong through this sheet of fire and lead, drove the enemy from "their position and guns; Whitfield’s le gion pressing on the right, the enemy would resist and fall back until they were driven l^lf a mile, losing nine guns. It was now dark, Generals Green and Gregg arrived, but too late to enter the fight. One hour of daylight and the entire Yankee division would have been captured. We held the field allnlght, bronght in the wounded and evacuated the place in accordance withthe order issued in the morning. - i Our loss in killed, wounded and missing; 483. That of the enemy,- over 800. General Trice brought off his entire train and captured stores. General Murray covered the retreat. General Little fell whilst conversing-with General Price. *%£=■ * < 3, ±862o ZTSTO- 230. Indian .Troubles in tlx© Northwest- Tfrelr Cause—The Indians avow them • - selves AlUes of the South. [Fran the Madison (Wis.) Journal,] ThcShawnpo county Journal, in the northern part of this State, has a report of a council held by tho Menomonee Indians, at Beshena, on the 2Sth nit., which gives some startling develop ments. sv It says the Indians were inclined to keep friendly npon our frontiers, and that the head chief, the war cjiief, and ten ether chiefs of bands were present, and inadc speeches and ad dresses. r. i • One of tfiern said that all the tribes in Wis consin sent their wampums to the chief of the Winnebago^, except, the Monomenees, and that the latter had been notified that the last offer had be4n made to send their wampum.— Notice waailso sent that the “blow was to be struck thia summer,” that all the tribes east of the Mississippi were goverened by the Win nebago chief, and communication through him with the Sioux ; it was said also, that the In dians were selling their ponies to purchase am munition.*^ • One of the indians in - the council said the Winnebago fcfcief told hknrthat “ali the western tribes were going to join the South.” “ The hcadnhiefprofesaed>Ade peace with lhd«jvkltcsr r "The8Tfi like ass uranpo^ The war chief the same. Tho editor of the Journal has an article upon the report, Iroca which we take-the -^pllowing: Some facts were disclosed in the Monomonec c5uncil which go positively to show that the massacre in Minnesota was a preconcerted plan r and that all the northern tribes were united with the Sioux, except the Moncmonees, in the plot. • \ They were assured that the blow would be struck this, summer, bu: at what lime was not made known, and that the Mocomonees would meet with tbe same fate as tbe whites if they did not join the rest of the Indians in their raid upon the whites. The whole thing is the effect of secession, as the statements made iu council will show. We have evidence which more directly brings home to the South the responsibility of this atrocious plot It is feundin a letter from a Lieut. Colonel of Ashby’s rebel calvy in Vir ginia to his broili3r-in-la;v, Mr. Robert Mil’s, of Columbus, iu this State, which was received about the 25th of August. In this letter Mr. Mills was advised by bis Southern relative to get down into Virginia, within the Confederate lines, if he could—tb*. ways and moans for doing which were pointed out. If he cculd not dolhi*, he was advised to go into Illinois for safety. The writer stated that there would be a gtneral uprising of the Indians throughout the Northwest about the first of September, and, while they might do no harm as far down in Wisconsin as tlie place of his friend’s residence, in order to make sure of being beyond danger, he had better go do-.vu iuto Central Illinois. Matters Nortlx. Scenes in the Governors' Convention—McClellan Consulted by Lincoln on his Proclamation. _ A despatch to. the New York Herald, dated Altoona, 25 : .h, says : The New-England Governors, and a portion of the Western,' went to Altoona for tho sole parpese of securing tfie removal of McClellan and the appointment of Fremont; but were de featei by the noble and determined stand taken by Governors Tod z Curtin, audvBradfong-. The country is to-day indebted to those three offi cials for defeating the treasonable plans of the radicals. Gov. Andrew was tho leader in the anti-McClellan cabal, Gov. Sprague and Gov. Tates assisting in the light work. The battle of Antieiam was a stumbling block to them. Not satisfied with their efforts in the after noon, another effort was made in the evening, when Gov. Sprague declared that the battle of Antiotam was not a Union but a rebel victory, aid did hi3 best to prove hi3 position. Gov.' Curtin replied that the people of hL State believed it to be a victory ; that McClel lan had saved tho State from invasion, and that it would be hard to convince them to the con trary. Gov. Sprague and Gov. Andrew made several remain at attempts to push their scheme, but were met in fef made 60 decisive a manner by Curtin, Tod, and Brad ford, that they finally abandoned the project. There is no doubt that.tiie President’s eman cipation proclamation was and is intended sim ply and exclusively as a war measure. *Whilc it baa taken tho wind out of the eails of the Gov ernors’ Convention, it was not designed by the Administration to effect auy political pur pose, or to aid any faction. On the contrary, it is said that the President desires this fact to be made public that the proclamation is oniy a part of the measures adopted for the most vigorous prosecution ot tlie war, without any reference toaife-* wishes of partisans. There is reason to believe that with this'view General McClellan was consulted iu reference to the proclamation before its publication was determined on. As parlies in the North express anxiety to know the relation subsisting between Genera! Ila’Uck and General McClellan, it is well to state that they arc in complete accord, and that, McClellan will be sustained by General Halleck i iu his effort to er^ish and destroy the rebel army he has just driven out of Maryland. Attoriier Proclamation from Abmh&tii, 'ihe following proclamation appears in the N-*v; York Tribune of the 25:b nit: * .

Major Winthrop’s advice to volunteers on the subject of proper care of tbe feet, onght to be pondered and remembered by new recruits. It will be found In his article on the New York Seventh regiment, published in the Atlantic Monthly for June, 1861, which we publish be low for the information of those concerned : And let mo say a word to my fellow volun teers, actual and prospective, in all. the armies of the States. A soldier needs, besides his soldierly drill, . 1. Good feet. 2. A good stomach. o. And after these comes the good head and the good heart. But good feet are distinctly the first thing; without them you cannot do yonr duty. If a comrade, ora horse, ora locomotive takes you on his back to the field, you are useless there. And when the field is l&st, you cannot retire, run away, and save your bacon. Good shoes and plenty of walking make good feet. A man who pretends to belong to an in fantry company, ought always to keep himself in training, bo that any moment he can march twenty or thirty miles without feeling a pang or raising a blister. Was this the case with even a decimation ot the army who rushed to defend Washington ? Were you 60 trained, my com rades of the Seventh ? A captain of a company who lets his men march with such shoes as I have seen on the feet of some poor fellows in this war, ought to be garroted with shoe strings. If you find a foot eoldier lying beat out by the roadside, desperate as a sea-sick man, five to one his heels are too high, or his shoe too narrow or too thin, or his shoe is not made straighten the inside, so that the great toe can spread into its place as he treads. I am an old walker over the Alps, across the water, and over Cordilleras, Sierras, deserts and prairies at home; I have done my near sixty miles a day without discomfort—and speaking from large experience, and with pain- nil recollections ot the suffering and death I have known for want of good lcet on the c °* .

[Special despatch to the Savannah Republican.] Winchester Oct. 1.—Everything is quiet in front of onr lines. McClellan has sent a polite letter to Gen. Lee, in forming him that MaJ. Means, of the Seventeenth 3cuth Carolina Regiment, and Capt. Beady, of the Third Alabama, were severely, though not dangerous ly, wounded in the late bittle, tljat they are in his hands, and that every-attention would bo given them. The letter was sent ul the request of the wounded parties. Qcn. Longstreet’s Adjutant informs me that lists of p -li the killed and wounded at Sharpsburg hare been furniihed to tha Army Intelligence Office at Richmond for publication. He had no other list that he could „*ive me, and I have telegraphed to Richmond to have them sent to you immediately. p. a. Later from the North. «EN\ liUKLL REPORTED RELIEVED—N. V.

R. Sanchez. < i Orange Springs, Florida, was robbed of $5,000 Wednesday morning, while the Atlanta cars la« were stopping at Dalton, iu a manner more daring and impatient than we have heard of tor some time. Mr. Sanchez prilled off his money belt duriug tho night, in order to rest better, and placed it in his carpet bag, which he kept under his head or between his feet all the time. When the ears arrived at Dalton, a man raised up to light his cigar at the lamp overhead, but put it out in his efforts. As soon as the car was in -darkness, Mr. Sanchez felt his carpet bag jerked away from between his feet and notwith standing every effort on his part and also of the passengers, the thief got a way, knocking down two or three passengers in his hurry. It is ncedlc33 to say that the man who lit the cigar was also missing when the light arrived. Mr. Sanchez has reason to believe the man is from Atlanta.—[Chattanooga Rebel. The Horrors in Minnesota.—St. Paul Sept. 15.—The horrors of the present Indian war are unceasing. It is without a precedent. Over five hundred destitute refugees are now in the city, dependent upon tho citizens. There are more than the above at St. Peter, and many are leaving for Hlinois,going in every boat. One woman died here yesterday from WGimds-of fourteen buckshot. Of her seven children, two arc living, one was starved, and four were murdered in their mother’s sight.’-— The two remaining were tomahawked and left for dead. An indian shows his dislike to cap ture children by gouging their eyes out with any sharp Instrument, or chopping the fingers from their hands. There are many such instan ces, a few now in this city. Gen. Pope is expected to-night. Query : Will he find another Jackson ? v - [Chicago (Illinois) Times. The Enemy’s Operations near Bluffton. The Yankee gunboats steamed up May River and commenced shelling the woods around Blnffton about 9 o’clock on Tuesday morning. They drove the pickets from Bluffcoa, and land ed about one company of riflemen, .who skir mished through the woods on the river bank, firing as if engaged with an enemy. One of the gunboats passed up as high as Crowell’s Land ing, stopping at Pope’s on thd way up, and committing some depredations around the houses. At Crowell’s they endeavored to e*n- tice an old negro away, but did not eucceed.— They threw 12-inch shells for two and a half miles across the road leading to Blnffton and in all other conceivable directions. It is supposed that thi3 blustering expedition was intended to interrupt the pursuit of several runaways, a por tion of whom have been taken. [Char. Mercury, 2d. The Fever at Wilmington.-—Tho Journal of Tuesday says : Owing to circumstances beyond thecontro of the Mayor, the number of deaths since our last issue cannot be obtained, nor can we arrive at any fair approximation. Reports from all the physicians but one have been roceived relative to the number of new ca=es occurring yesterday. Estimating for the one whose report has not been received, the number of new cases yesterday, Monday, Sept. 29th was 43, showing evidently that the epi demic is not abating. At 12 o’clock to-day, the thermometer stands at 83 in the shade, but the sun is exceedingly oppressive, more so, it ap pears to us than even at midsummer.
