FROM THE SEAT OF WAR.
We have no additional i>* v, from out' aimy

ceive of the battle of Saturday last tend to con
firm the opinion that it resulted in one of the
most decisive and glorious triumphs of the
present war. The loss or. both sides must
have been great, but wo understand that, it is
asserted by officers who rod., over Die field after
the battle was ended, that tee enemy’s loss was
at least five to our one.
The reports with reference to the present
position of our army are conflicting; one rep
resenting it to be at Munson’s Hill, In sight o

T 0" BATTLE OF FRIDAY LAST, AND PARTICULARS
CONNECTED THEREWITH.
The following interesting account of the
oDerations of the corps commanded by Gem
Jackson, from Monday the 25th to Friday the
29th, including the severe fight on the latter
day, has been furnished U3 by one who actively
participated in the engagement:
On Monday, at daybreak. General Jackson’s
corps, consisting of Gen. Ewell’s division, Gen.
Hill’s division, and Gen. Jackson’s old division,
under command of Gen. Taliaferro, and a force
of cavalry under Gen. Stuart, marched from
Jeffersonton, in Culpeper county, and crossed
the Rappahannock eight miles above that place,
and marched via Orleans to Salem, in Fauquier.
The next day they passed through Thorough
fare Gap, of Bull Run mountains, to Bristow
and Manassas Stations, on. the Orange and
Alexandria railroad, effecting a complete sur
prise of the enemy, capturing a large number
of prisoners, several trains of cars, and im
mense commissary and quartermaster stores,
and several pieces of artillery. The distance
marched in these two days was over fifty miles.
On Wednesday, Manassas Station was occupied
by Jackson’s old division, whilst Ewell occu
pied Bristow, and Hill and Stuart dispersed the
forced sent from Alexandria to attack what the
enemy supposed to be only a cavalry force.
The General commanding this force of the ene
my lost his leg, and had his brigade nearly an-
nihilated.
At 3 o’clock P. M. the enemy attacked Gen.
Ewell at Bristow, aDd that General, after a
handsome little fight, in which he punished the
enemy severely, retired across Muddy Run, as
had previously been agreed upon, to Manassas
Junction. Pope claims to have captured a
thousand prisoners, and a baggage train on
Wednesday. Not a prisoner was captured, and
not a wagon watv on that side of Muddy Run,
and no wagon was ever captured.
Atter sunset on Thursday General Jackson
accomplished one of the most beautiful and
masterly strategic movements of the war. He
found himself many miles in advance of the rest
of our army. The enemy might throw his im
mense column? between him and Longatreet—
Alexandria and Washington was to his rear when
he turned to attack the enemy. He determined
to throw himself upon the enemy’s flank, to
preserve the same nearness to Alexandria, to
place himself within support of the remainder
of .-nrarmy, and to occupy a position from
which he could not be driven, even if support
did not arrive in time. All this he accomplished
that night, after destroying the stores, build
ings, cars, Ac., and burning the-rail road bridges
over Muddy Run and Bull Run. He marched
at night with his entire force from Manassas
Station to Manassas battle-field, cros-ing the
Warrenton Turnpike, and placing his troops in
such position that he could confront the enemy
should they attempt to advance by the Warren
ton pike or by the Sudley road lynd ford, and
have the advantage of communicating by the
Aldie road with Longstreet, should he have
passed tHe Thoroughfare Gap, and at a<l events
gain for himseif a safe position for attack or de
fence. At 7 o’clock A. M., on Friday, General
Stuart encountered the enemy’s cavalry near
Gainesville, on the Warrenton pike, and drove
them back; and during the morning the 2d
brigade of Gen. Taliaferro’s division, under Col.
Bradley Johnson, again repulsed them. It was
now ascertained that the enemy’s column was
ad vancing (or retreating) from Warren ton, along
the line of the railroad and by way of the War
renton turnpike, and that they intended to pass
a part of their fore e ver the Stone Bridge and
Sudley Ford. Gen. Jackson immediately or
dered’Gen. Taliaferro to advance with his divis
ion to attack their left flank, which was advan
cing towards Sudley Mill. Gen. Ewell’s divis
ion marched considerably in rear of the first
division. After mareliiug some three miles, it
was discovered that the enemy had abandoned
the idea of crossing at Sud’ey, and had le!t the
Warrenton pike to the left, beyond Groveton.
aDd wore apparently cutting across to the rail
road through the fields and woods. In a few
minutes, however, he advanced across the turn
pike to attack us, and Jackson’s army was
thrown forward to meet him.
The encounter occurred near the village of
Groveton, the right resting just abovi- and near
the village, and the left upou the old battle
field of Manassas. Tbo conflict was terrific. Oar
troops were advanced several times during the
fight, hut the enemy fought with desperation,
and did not retire until 9 o’clock at night., when
they sullenly left the field to the Confederates
The fight was commenced by Gen. Taliaferro’s
division—the fid brigade, Cos!. Taliaferro, oil the
right, the Ist (Stonewall) brigade, Cos!. Baylor,
next on left, the 4th brigade, Gen Starke next,
and the 3d brigade. Col. Johnson, on the left.
The heroism displayed by these troops, and es
pecially by the Ist brigade, was magnificent,
and the loss terrible. Gen. Ewell’s division,
particularly the brigades of Gens. Early, Law
ton, aud Trimble, engaged the enemy very soon
alter Jackson’s division, and to the, lcit, and
fully sustained the reputation this veteran til
vision had heretofore achieved The battle
raged fiercely until 9 o’clock at night, when otir
troops rested upon the battle-field

Yankee A etonnts oi tlie late Battles.
The New Yorb Herald of last Saturday, has a
special account .of the battles fought on last
Thursday and Friday. Wc copy a port ion of
its account:
As 1 write, a terrible battle is raging, and ou
the result must hinge this war. 11 we are suc
cessful, that part of the army under Jaeßson
must be auuihilated, and that under Lee -
ed ; and if we are not a.H. tuo
overpower us, Ged aione can t
events of the day. They, or the
Wr ‘ e r,?o them, come ia so thick and fast that
almost goes crazy in listening to them.
then,after the battle of Cedar Mountain
the forces under Stonewall Jackson withdrew
from the vicinity of the Rapidan, and were for
some dajs unheard of, except that a strong
force was in the vicinity of Madison Court
House, some twelve miles to the westward in
the direction of Luray and the Shenandoah val
ley ; but it was supposed that this was only a
wing of the army under Ewell, intended to act
as reserves t,o Jackson’s army, and to cover his
retreat back to Gordonsville. Not so, however.
These forces of Ewell, we now find, to our sur
prise, were the main body of Jackson’s army,
en route for the Shenandoah valley.
Jackson, with a force of thirty-five thousand
men, was to march via the Shenandoah river to
a point known as Berryville or Berry’s Ford,
so'me twenty-eight miles northwest from War
renton. General Lee, with the bulk of the rebel
army, was to take the front, left and right,,and
engage General Pope at or near the Rapidan,
while Jackson and Ewell were to cros? the
Shenandoah river and mountain, cut off his sup
plies by way of the railroad, and menace his
rear.
But when Jackson had reached Gordonsville
and Madison Court House it was found that
General Pope had penetrated further into Vir
ginia than was expected. General Lee, with the
main army, had not yet come up, and it was
feared that if Jackson continued on as per pro
gramme, General Pope would reach Gordons
ville before Lee’s arrival, and thus cut off his
(Jackson’s) supplies.
Consequently Jackson threw a part of his army
directly in General Pope’s track at Cedar Creek,
hoping to cheek his advance across the Rapidan,
and the battle of Cedar Mountain w*s fought.
You will bear in mind that Jackson continued
to hold the field until Monday night; but cn
Tuesday morning he was gone, and as our
scouts brought in word that a large rebel army
was at Gordonsville and Orange Court House,
it was believed that Jackson had retreated in
that direction. But not so. Jackson had mov
ed off through Madison Court House, and the
immense rebel forces at Gordonsville and
Orange were tbe main army under General Lee
who bad arrived from Richmond.
When Jackson left Cedar Mountain he pro
ceeded immediately to Mad.lsen Court House,
where he joined Ewell. Then the re-united
army marched to Luray, in the Bhenandoah
valley, thence northward to Berry’s Ford, where
he crossed, while Lee was keeping Gen. Pope
engaged in front. Lee’s plan was to keep Pope
between the Rapidan and the Rappahannock
rivers until Jaekson had attained his position
at Manassas, or perhaps at Rappahannock
bridge ; but Gen. Pope’s retreat to the Rappa
hannock’s north bank frustrated that, and -sign,
and rendered it necessary ior Lee to follow up
his advantage, ond, hy a system o f feints, to
take Gen. Pope’s attention from his rear and
divert it to his front.
General Jaekson crossed tifo Shenandoah at
Berry’s Ford cn .Wednesday, 20tb, and imme
diately started across toward Warrenton ; but
when he had proceeded a few mites he learned
that Pope had fallen back, and thatSeigel, with
the right of our army. wa3 in occupancy of
Warrenton Springs. Then he changed his
course further to the northward, and encamped
twelve miles north of Warrenton and two miles
west of the main road leading to Winchester.
Here strong pickets were thrown out, and every
human being for miles around were taken into
camp and retained in durance. That night a
body of cavalry under Gen. Stuart pushed in to
Catlett’s station and surprised and destroyed
the staff train of Gen. Pope.
On Sunday and Monday, Gen. Jaekson, with
his army, moved forward, and on Tuesday
reached Oentreville, from which the force oi
William Fitzhugh Lee moved on to Manassas
the same night, Jaekson following the next day;
so that on last Wednesday evening we find
thirty thousand rebels in Gen. Pope’s rear, on
the railroad, his supplies cut off, and lie
hemmed in by his foes on the front, rear and
flank.
Nocall, however, of Jackson’s army are at
Manassas, as a force, variously estimated at
from five to ten thousand men, mostly, or quite
all cavalry, continued on down the Shenandoah
in the direction of Harper’s Ferry, when Jack
son moved towards Manassas. Of this force I
learn but little since their departure from Ber
ry’s Ford ; but I am of the opinion their design
is to cross the Potomac into Maryland, or to
divert attention from the more important fields
of Virginia. Already we hear of a rebel force
being in the rear of Winchester and between
that place and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
anti K Is more ttiau prooavio ttiio to tbc first
appearance in anew quarter of this off-shoot
of Jackson’s array.
The idea we had indulged in here, that the
capture of Manas?a3 was a successful raid by a
body of rebel guerrillas, is now dissipated.—
Jackson again occupies Manassas In force. He
has captured and destroyed a vast deal of prop
erty—how much it is impossible to say; bat
this much is known, there are eleven locomo
tives and eighty-four cars beyond the break.—
The Bull Bun bridge is destroyed, as are two or
tlsree others in the vicinity.
Of General Pope’s movements lor the past
three days we know but little, as the rebels have
destroyed our railroad and telegraph commu
nication, but. I learn from people who left Fair
fax and Burk’s station, at. eleven o’clock to-day,
that a terrible cannon fight was then raging,
and that General Pope has changed front and
is trying to flank the enemy in the north- t,
while McClellan is coming upon them f:\ tn
the east.
On Wednesday n’ght, as has been detailed
elsewhere, an attack was made upon Bristow
station, and also at Manassas Junction. Our
force- at the latter point, composed exclusively
of raw troops, were ditpersed.
Some of our scouts who ranged through the
woods to ascertain the exact condition of af
fairs, saw at Gainesville, ten miles beyond Ma
nassas, a rebel encampment, which they esti
mated at from 30.000 to 110,000. The rebel forces,
composed of cavalry and infantry, occupied
Manassas al! tha* night. Yesterday morning
they advanced, and had in their possession
seven cannon, captured from our forces at Ma
nassas.
General Tavlor’s Brigade, composed of the
first, second, third and fourth New Jersey regi
ments, were proceeding towards the Junction,
and when about three-quarters fa mile beyond
the railroad bridge across Bull Run, upon the
road leading to Manassas Junction, they fell
into an ambuscade of the rebels, who were
formed in a semi-circle, with artillery in the
centre and infantry upon both sides. It is said
that the brigade was awkwardlyjhattdled. At any
rate it is known that almost all were either kill
ed or captured. From 150 to 200 stragglers
have escaped and come in up to this time. Gen
eral Taylor, commanding the brigade, was seri
ously wounded, and his leg has since been am
putated.
At a little distance from the point where the
Now Jersey brigade was ambuscaded, the
eleventh and twelfth Ohio regiments were met
bv another rebel force and badly cut up.
‘Until dark last night the rebels had destroyed
nothiug upon the line of the railroad; but
during the night they burned the bridges aeros
the Accolink and Pope’s head.
The scouts reported some *’ve hundred rebel
cavalry on their way from Centrevtttr to evot
tax Court House. This statement has been
verified from other reliable sources and official
reports. . ,
Information has also been received that a
force, estimated at six thousand rebels, last
night occupied Vienna.
It is known also that during the uight a rebel
cavalry force entered Leesburg and made pris
onersa portion ct Capt. Means’ company ol
Uniou iro ps, being raised at that point. It is
supposed that the rebel force at Leesburg were
a party ol guerrillas residing in tbe vicinity,
who were emboldened by the near approach ol
the rebel army to make a demonstration against
Means’ men who were very obnoxious to the
secessionists in that neighborhood.
The whole country from the Manas**? Junc
tion to the Rappahannock river is occupied by
bauds of guerrillas, regular or irregular, aud
communication between Gen. Pope’s army and
either Fredericksburg or this city has been
temporarily suspended. Tun presence of this
large army of rebels on this side of Bull Bud
is a verification of tha rebel programme ex
posed m the Herald some two or three weeks
ago. It is a bold end daring inacaMivre, and
ought have been successful if <en. Pope had
been so largely r. iutorced as to enable him to

be able to bring npc uhtra on the Southern side.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT— THE YANKEES BREAK AND
run.
Another correspondent of the Herald gives
the following account of the battle on Thurs
day, near Manassas:
On Wednesday morning, 27th inst., at about
It o’clock, Gen. Taylor’s brigade, of Major
General Siocum’a division oi the army of the
Potomac, consisting of the First, Second,
Third and Fourth New Jersey regiments, were
ordered to proceed to Manassas by rail from
their camp near Fort Ellsworth, Alexandria.
The brigade arrived at Bull Run bridge about
7 o’clock in the morning. The troops landed
and crossed the bridge with as little delay as
possible, and marched towards Manassas. Af
ter ascending the hill emerging from tire valley
of Bull Run, they encountered a line of the
enemy’s skirmishers, which fell back before
them. The brigade marched on in the direc
tion of Manassas, not seeing any of the enemy,
until within range of she circular series of for
tifications around the Junction, when heavy ar
tillery was opened upon them from ail direc
tions. The enemy was concealed within the
earthworks, and the brigade having no artille
ry or cavalry—the artillery and cavalry of the
division not having yet arrived from Newport
News—Gen. Taylor retired beyond the range of
the enemy’s guns to the rear of a sheltering
crest of ground, where he was attacked by a
brigade of rebel infantry, and a sharp musketry
fire was kept up for about twenty minutes,
when the General, perceiving a large cavalry
force advancing towards his left rear, apparent
ly with the intention of cutting off his retreat
by Bull Run bridge, retired by way of Black
burn’s Ford. Crossing the ford, he was pur
sued by the rebel horse artillery, who fired into
him, occasioning considerable loss. General
Taylor was wounded very severely in the leg,
and it is thought that amputation will be neces
ry. His son, Lieut. Taylor, aid-de-camp, was
also wounded. Several other officers were
killed and wounded. Among the former was
Lieut. V/m. 11. Plume, who was killed by a
cannon bail, his head being entirely severed
from the body.
The brigade retreated in all haste towards
Fairfax, followed by the enemy, who persued
them beyond Centerville. Oar loss is said to
be very great in killed, wounded and missing ;
but our informant is unable to give an accurate
account.
There are a variety of reports as to the force
of the enemy. A surgeon says that he saw three
Brigadiers and one Major General, thu3 infer
ring that a whole division of the enemy were
engaged; others, that the infantry which was
there was only dismounted cavalry of General
Stuart’s, about three thousand strong, with a
couple of horse batteries.
Taylor’s brigade did not number more than
fifteen hundred men. There were but few offi
cers engaged, a great number having been cap
tured in previous engagements.
The eleventh Pennsylvania cavalry are report
ed to have acted very cowardly on the appear
ance of the enemy in the neighborhood of Man
assas. It is said that they put spur to their
horses and “skedaddled,” and that the artillery
cut the traces of their horses and followed them.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS.
We copy the additional details from the
Washington Star:
The cannonading heard nearly rli day was that
of an engagement between Seanton’s brigade,
of Gen. Cox’s division, andalorceot the rebels,
considerably outnumbering them, at Bull Run,
the contest i g for the possession of the rail
road bridge at that poin*. We believe that the
rebels retained possession of it at nightfall.
The main engagement of yesterday, however,
was that of Hooker’s division with a consider
able rebel force at Bristow station.
It appears that tbc movement of the enemy on
Friday from the south bank of the Rappahan
nock, via Jeffersonton, in the direction of Little
Washington, was actually designed to'brow
the most ol the rebel army across the Rappa
hannock at the base of the Blue Ridge. This was
done, and it is this morning ascertained here
that it was yesterday morning probably for the
most part massed at or near White Plains, in
the valley between the Blue Ridge and Bull
Run, ranges seven or nine miles northeast of
Warrenton.
At an early hour yesterday morning Hooker’s
division (doubtless despatched to that point by
General Pope on account of the affair there of
the night before) came up with a large rebel
force about Bristow Station, with whom he had
a heavy engagement, lasting nearly all day. In
the course of it Hooker drove the enemy step
by step back to the vicinity of Manassas Junc
tion. Our total loss In killed, wonnded and
missing in the day’s engagement there was
about three hundred. General Pope is said to
regard the affair as a signal Union success.
One of the New York batteries belong
ing to Sturgis’ corps, under Captain Van
Putcamer, was at Manassas on Tuesday night,
and lost four cr six pieces in the fight with the
Confederates, being surrounded and having
neither infautry nor cavalry support, The
twelfth Pennsylvania cavalry escap.cl or .skedad
dled and came to Alexandria with few missing,
about nine o’clock last night. They behaved
very badly. On Wednesday (yesterday) morn
ing early, General Taylor’s brigade, first, sec
ond, third and fourth New Jersey volunteers,
of Major General Slocum’s division of the Ar
my oi tLo Futomai], wa caL by rail to Ala
nassas.
The troops landed at Bull Ruu bridge and
marched to Manassas, on approaching which
place they met a line of rebel skirmishers, who
fell back before them. The brigado continued
its march, and on coming within the circle ot
fortifications at the Junction, which they had
no idea was occupied, a heavy concentrated fire
of artillery was opened upon them from three
different directions. General Taylor had no
artillery or cavalry—that of the division not
having" arrived from the peninsula, and was
consequently obliged to retire out of range be
hind a sheltering ridge.
At length seeing a large force of rebel cavalry
making toward Bull Run bridge, with the evi
dent intention of intercepting his retreat, Gen.
Taylor withdrew his troops across .Blackburn’s
Ford. To this point the enemy pursued him
with horse artillery, pouring cauister into his
ranks with some damage—wounding among
others, the General, severely, and his son slight
ly, and killing Lieut. Plume, of 2d New Jersey
regiment.
A large portion of Taylor’s New Jersey brig
ade was captured at Fairfax station by the rebel
cavalry, some five hundred of whom were seen
between Centreviile and Fairfax Ccfhrt House
on Thutsday noon, and are supposed to be the
same who made the above capture.
WIIAT THE TRIBUNE SAYS.
General Taylor, upon discovering that the
enemy had Hanked him, and that his whole
command were in danger of being taken pris
oners, ordered a retreat. After having retreated
a mile or two, General Taylor discovered a
ravine in which lie thought he could conceal his
iroops until reinforcements arrived. But he
hardly got his men fairly in their hiding place
when he found himself nearly surrounded by
the enemy. A strong body of cavalry-men
were on his left, guarding one entrance to the
river, and a battery of artillery was brought to
bear upon his right, raking his entire brigade,
fhe tiring from this battery made terrible
havoc in the ranks. General Taylor himself,
his son, on his staff, and his nephew were
wounded. Ot course, nothing but a still fur
ther retreat was in order, and last ev nine the
wearied and decimated brigade rested in
Fairfax.
About four hundred citizens at Fairfax left
tbai town hastily on the appearance of eight or
ten rebel cavalrymen, who accidentally strayed
io that neighborhood, and exposed them
selves to view. Two whole regiments of
our infantry also ran at the sight of these fif
teen cavalrymen, throwing their guns away,
aud skedaddling as fast as spurs to their horses
could get them away. Their only excuse is,
that they supposed "that there were more reb
els in tho rear of that fifteen who appeared on
1 ice arm. •
I learn Pom another source that the Captain
of one of our batteries ran away, leaving six
pi, ta s < ut of eight in the hands of the enemy, a
too easy prey,not a gun having been fired. Near
ly the whole of the com maud of this brave (?)
oaj -aiu followed their leader in his hasty aud
inglorious tetreat, but those tew who remained
behind nobly using the two remaining guns
with coßfldtiable effect.
The latest news which 1 close my letter is,
that the rebels arfe certainly advancing in
strength ; tbe purpose is first, to break every
means of communication between Washington
aud Pope, then to march straight on the capi
tal. Every bridge on the railway is destroyed ;
the rebels hold every strategic point within the
centre, and are doubtless within the mountains
with their whole army.

put in motion by the first frost will sweep in
such overwhelming force over Virginia and the
entire South mat effective resistance will be
impossible, and the rebel torces will be all sur
rounded and captured or disorganized and dis
persed, so that by the middle of January the
rebellion will have received its death blow, and
the republic wti! have vindicated its title of
“one and indivisible.”

Tlie Indian War In iriiiinegota.
The Chippewa* Rising—The Village of Xew Ulm
burned —More Murders — Proclamation of (lov,
Ramsey.
The accounts from the frontier Of Minin oia
show that an led.■>•? war has been inaugurated,
which sinks int” Insignificance all the other
Indian wars vl - h have occurred in this ’’-un
try for thirty : ~ The Slonx lodi.-.-a who
began the war, >- h now l!ireut ■' > Bo
joined by the Chipp y’s. The latest intelli
gence is contained in the following despatch :
St. Paul, Minn, Aug. 2(1.—1 he latest dates
from New Ulm state that on Saturday night the
village wa3 mostly burned up.
An arrival from Crow Wing direct, brings the
intelligence that Hole in-the Day, the great
Chippewa chief, has issued a proclamation that
he would not be responsible for the conduct of
the Indians after Tuesday, and earning the
whites to leave tbe country before that time.
Hole-in-tlie- Day had sent a message to Com
missioner Dale and Judge Cooper to come and
make a treaty.
The Chippewa agent, Walker, against whom
complaints have been made by the Chippewa?,
it is reported, has committed suicide in a fit of
insanity. The Chippewa difficulty following so
closely upon the Sioux road causes great alarm.
The northern part of the State is making earnest
applications for military aid.
Despatches from Gen. Shibley, on the 25th,
state that he arrived at St. Paul ou the 22d, and
has been at l ively engaged in affording all pos
sible aid to -he beleaguered villages.
Major Fowler, with fifty mounted men, made
a reeonnoissance at Fort Ridgeiy. on the route
of the previous day, and returned to St. Peters
at three o’clock on the morning of the 25tb,
bringing the bodies of several women who had
been killed. Within twenty miles of St. Petem
he reports that the destruction of property is
beyond calculation.
The Indians attacked New Ulm on Saturday.
The fight continued until late In the evening.
Nothing has been heard from there since Gen.
Shibiey asked for a’full regiment to be at cnee
sent up, armed and equipped. He thinks a
larger force will be needed before the Indians
are subdued, as they may have four or five
thousand warriors to meet sooner or later.
Major Crans, of St. Cloud, writes to the
Governor that a committee of reliable citizens
appointed to visit the scene of the recent mur
ders, had just returned. They went as far as
Pineville, and found that some two hundred
persons had been killed in the vicinity of that
place and Norway Lake.
The Governor is receiving painful petitions
for aid to pirotect t he lives and property in
Stearns, Meeker and MonongaUela counties.
Many persons had been driven from their
homes, leaving their crops bat partially, har
vested.
Arrivals in this city from New Ulm report, as
usual, shocking scenes, too horrible to recount.
A. J. Voorhces writes as follows :
It is well known that dissatisfaction has ex
isted in the various tribes for some weeks past,
in consequence of the delay of the Government
in making the annual payment; but no one
dreamed of a well-organized and systematically
arranged outbreak, embracing tribes wliiea
have ever been hostile to each other. This fact,
in connection with circumstances which have
come to my knowledge within the past few
days, convince me that it is a part of the plan
of the great rebellion.
Major Galbraith writes from Fort Ridgeiy to
the Governor:
All the Sioux Indians are up in arms, and in
discriminately murdering every white person,
and devastating the country. We are here with
about one hundred and fifty efficient men,
mostly undnllcd. We darethot leave this point
until reinforced. More than one hundred per
sons are known to be killed, and we believe at
least one thousand are. Neither age nor sex
are spared.
Testa for Cosifederate Notes,
In addition to the tests furnished by us some
days ago, we annex the following, some of
which arc new :
[From tbc Richmond Examiner.]
In the hundred dollar bills the sailor on the
lower left corner of the genuine notes wears a
black belt, with the buckle upon it very
distinct; in the. counterfeit bills the belt
is white and the buckle not plainly seen.—
In the centre picture the mule attached to the
cotton press, in the genuine bill, is less distinct
though larger than in the counterfeit, and pre
sents his head to the front; in the counterfeit
he “changes his base,” and presents a aide view.
On the ground between the sailor’s feet, in the
genuine is a broken stone—a separata one by
it; in the counterfeit there are three seperat'e
stones, the centre one smaller than the others.
At the upper right corner of the genuine notes,
the white ground appears through the shading
of the medallion work ; in the counterfeit the
entire work is dark. This will suffice for the
hundreds.
In the fifty dollar bills, several white spots
appear just over the figures fifty, in the medal
lion work at the upper right corner of the
genuine bills ; there are none in the counterfeit.
The outside of this medallion work in the coun
terfeit, ie covered by a running net work ; in
the genuine there is none. In front of, and at
tached to the chest, in the centre picture of the
genuine note, there is a pad-lock; there is none
in the counterfeit. In the genuine note the
head of the man in the lower left corner of the
bills is nearly bald, a little hair is combed down
smoothly on tbe right temple ; in the counter
feit bills a full head of hair’ is represented, the
hair on the right temple being slightly dis
hevelled , as if blown by a puff of wind.
Twenty dollars bills.—ln the counterfeit bills
the figure 2, on the right side, is cut by a fine
line, entirely separating the tail of the fignre
from the main body of it; in the genuine tbe
fignre 2is perfect. In the genuine bills the hat
on the head of the man in the lowt r left corner
of the note, sits more upon the top of the Imad
than in the counterfeit; in the counterfeit the
hat seems to be thrown more towards the back
of the neck.
[From the Macon Telegraph.]
The notes mostly counterfeited are the 20’s,
50’s and 100’s, of the issues of Sept. 2, 1801—
lithographed by Hoyer & Ludwig, Richmond.
In all the genuine issues of these notes there is
a shield in the upper left corner, the right up
per corner ol which is placed in the centre be
tween the letter N in months directly over it.
In the counterfeit the corner of the. shield is
placed directly under the right down stroke of
the letter N.
In the genuine 20’s there is a very small ship
on the left of the large one in the centre vig
nette, which is omitted in the counterfeit.
Also, between the NX on the right lower
corner are two hearts separated and pointing
towards each other in the genuine, but in the
spurious only one, or if two, run together.
In the genuine 50’s the head of the female
between Confederate Slates, is near the centre,
between the two words. In the counterfeit the
head is placed so as to touch the letter E in
Confederate. On the left hand lower corner is
a vignettee with two heads. In the genuine
the hair is close to the head ; in the counterfeit
the hair on the left of the right figure is spread
out in three small ques
In the 100’s there is a representation of a
mule working a press in the centre vignette,
between a wagon loading and tha press. In the
genuine tbe male is quite indistinct and diffi
cult to make out, but in the counterfeit is quite
plain.
The paper of al! tbe genuine notes is of poor
quality, but in the counterfeit it is of a fair
quality of back note paper.
Tnc New Rebel Steamer “No. 290.”—Ac
cording to the following statement, furnished
by the London correspondent of the Dublin
Evening Mail, the new “rebel” steamer “ No.
‘300,” WUlob H.d Jut ■ •*-- ™ i 11
slip, is an iron clad and a very formidable ves
sel. It is not unlikely she is the steamer an
nounced at Mobile by the telegraph:
She can steam frdm 10 to 18 knots an hour; is
perfectly seaworthy; lor all practical purposes
invulnerable, and will prove to any vessel she
may* encounter as formidable an antagonist as
our own Wartior, the boat of the British navy.
This is the "No 290" as to w hose whereabouts
Uniou cruisers have with reason betrayed such
anxiety. It bad been known lor some time that
a large and powerful iron vessel was construct
ing at the d‘ ck-yard by Messis. Laird & Birk
enhead ; but monsters of the deep are so much
tbe order of the day at that establishment that
no one troubled hi- head much about this new
production, or care to remark the great thick
ness of the plates which were being used.
At the very last moment the Federal author!
ties seem to‘have bad their suspicion aroused
for the Tuscarora was dispatched to keep watch
in the neighborhood of the dock where she lay,
and the southern coast of Ireland was also
strictly watched. “No. 290,” meanwhile, ap
prised ol what was going on, dropped down the
river quietly one day and steamed out into the
tuv, nominally for her trial trip—with a party
of "ladies and musicians on board. Instead,
however, of returning to mooring at Birken
head, where she would have been kept in Cur
ance’vile by the Tuscarora, she quietly landed
qj. passengers, avoiding Cork, It sttrlord, bcc.,
in the neighborhood ot winch she might have
of sumstking not at all to her advantage.
“No 290” steamed round by Londonderry and
Donegal, and was joined off the west coast of
Ireland by the steamer which had previously ;
sai cd having on board the armament intended
for the “Ironsides.”

What (j,c Yankees said before the last
Battle.
Ou Thursday, the 23th of August, (he New
York Times said :
lkc rebels now Rtand in our front, number
ing at the outside, 125.000, while to meet them j
we have already 200 000, which win very speedi
ly be increased to 250,000 or 300 000, and can bo
increased, if necessary, to 400,000 men. Our
position is strong, and although tho enemy
seems to be making desperate attempts to turu
our flacks, or break our line, there is not oue
chance in ten of bis achieving any important
success. By destroying the bridges across the
Rappahannock, wo have rendered their passage
of that river impossible, and have secured for
ourselves all the time needed for preparation.
The remainder of the army of tho Potomac will
speedily take its position, and then without
waiting to he attacked or putting himself upon
the defensive even for a day, the country ex
pects General Hal leek to put himself at the
head of this magnificent and irresistible national
army, and march over the rebels into Rich
mond.’’
We beg the public to take notice, says the
Richmond Dispatch, of* what this writer says
with regard to this army. It is already, he says,
200,000 strong. It has been beaten, routed,
driven like chaff before the wind. It is, at this
moment, either hiding behind its ramparts at
Alexandria, or cowering under shelter of its
gunboats at Oeeoquan, or flying fo£ life before
the avenging squadrons of Stuart and Robert
son, or the fleet-footed infantry of Jackson and
Longstreet. Let us, then, hear no whining, no
whimpering, no excuses for cowardice, on the
plea of being overwhelmed by numbers. That
has always been tho apology for Yankee defeat
heretofore. Let it no longer be made, since
here is a boast that they outnumber us two to
one.
To the foregoing we may add the following
beautiful specimen of Yankee gasconade, which
appears in rich contrast with the capture of
Morgan and the present position of Kirby
Smith on tbe banks of the Ohio. It is fr mi the
Nashville (Yankee) Union of the 29th ultimo :
Doubtless we are on the eve of important
events in this State. The rebels k :7e evacuated
Chattanooga, and are pushing on to Knoxville.
Gen. Morgan’s present position at the Gap is
impregnable against auy force the rebels may
bring against him, and we believe that we shall
soon hear of the wiping out of Gen. Kirby
Smith. The rebels arc in a desperate strait, for
supplies, and will soon be compelled to light.
Everybody has been looking eagerly for news
from the vicinity of Chattanooga for several
days, but tbe news delays coming ; and we are
still looking. The rebels hive crossed Tennes
see river, and our divisions are on tho alert,
eager to give them battle, and it is hard!}’ pos
sible that an engagement can long be delayed.
The rebels have been exulting for some days in
tbe belief that Gen. Morgan was effectually
hemmed in at the Gap, but as Gob. Nelson has
pushed forward with a large force in that direc
tion, we think that matters look exceedingly
unfavorable for tbe rebels. It is certain that
they bare no force comparable to Buel’s in dis
cipline an 1 efficiency, and we feel confident
that he will scatter them to the winds whenever
he engages with th*3 rebel legions.
