interruption of travel. between here and Louisville,

Colonel Heffun, of the 50th Indiana, proceeded
to Gallatin- yesterday morning, and last night two
more bridges upon the railroad were destroyed, and
it is more than probable that the 50th is captured,
as we have heard nothing of it.
John Morgan has his headquarters at Hartsville,
a Om miles from...Gallatin, and has issued a paper
called the Fidafte, wherein the editor says he shall
publish "semi-occasionally."- Morgan's fornis4itur
reached the number of four thousand, and Ala be
lieved that the intrepid guerilla intends to flank Gen.
Morgan at Cumberland Gap, and "bag" his men,
as a large rebel force baa left`Chattanooga to co-,
operate with,somebodysomewhere. One thing we
are assured of, the Cumberland Gap wires are in
possession of 'the rebels.
The rebels also have possession of the town of
Clarksville, on the Cumberland_rivpr, and the large
bridge over the Red river near there, has been do. -
stroyed. On Monday evening, Generale Nelson and •
Jackson started for Kentucky, upon *asmall steamer,
and came within a few miles of agnerilla band, but
were warned, I believe, by a 'Union man in thivier:'

N'asrvrinai, Tenn., August 18,
Srn:: There 'are many wives and helpless chiliirep
in the city"of Nashirille,'and county or Davickson,
who nano been reduced to poverty and wretched
• ness in coitsequende of their husbands and fathers
having been forced into the' armies of this
and nefarioull rebellion. Their"- necessities hive
become so manifest, and their demands for the no
eessaries . of life so urgent, that the lawa of•justiosi
and humanity will be violated unless something was
done to relievelheir suffering and, destitute condi
tion. Yon are therefore request -d to contribute the
sum of dollars, „which you will pay .over to
James Whitworth. Esq., judge of the county court,
to be" by 'him distributed amongst these destitute
families in such manner as may be prescribes'.
Respectfully; /to., ANDREW jOSINSRN,
Military Governor.
You will readily, perceive ;that there , is nothing
li
wrong about the above. request," espeoiallyes it
will be presentel to none hut wellthy Secesotionists.
Furthers:is:lre, James Whitworth is a mean, low, in
significant rebel himself, and considers it a moan
thing to .be connected in such a humane "job "
with mean, low, insignificant vagabonds. 'Farther,
Mr. Whitworth was instructed to obtain the ser
-Tices of as mean a rebel as could be found (if it be
possible to find an honest one), to act as clerk.Con=
nected with this job, I think, will transpire many .
events worthy. of mention. I have seen several of
the names of those who will be compelled ".pony
np," if the " request " is . hot attended to as it
ahould be. Most of the men who are invited to
ocularly demonstrate their liberality have many a
tinie declared their intention of supporting the wives
'and children of those who . are fighting-for the
" Southern Confederacy." They mean fwell enough,
probably, but had forgotten their promises, and the
Governor thought he would Spur them up a little.
Probably you 'have heard many rumors to the
effect that • Chattanooga is evacuated: This is not
the case, notwithstanding it was telegraphed to
headquarters by the geueral in command. The
first we heard of it was oh Sunday evening, and I
immediately left up?nit. freight train for Steven.
eon, by the kind
,permili'slop of Mr.; Anderson„ of.
this place. : I arrived at Battle
.Creek early Mon
day morning, and found BaelPs army as I had left
it, two weeks before• ,The 2d Ohio-had advanced
some Jour miles to protect a ferry, and immense
fortifications were being constructed by Gen. Crit
,tenden's command. Stevenson is almost surrounded
by earth-Works. We have a large supply of ord
nance and commissary goods at . this place undei
Captain Palmer, therefore', the . fortifying ofthe
town was an absolute necessity. ,* The Tennessee
liver runs within Ave miles of-Stevenson, one side
of which is occupied by the rebels.- No' flank
movement can be made upon our Iforast st ' , Battle
Creek,,as it-is impossible for the enemy to'oibeettib
river.
Large numbers of the rebel forge at Battletreek
have disappeared, and it is believed that several
regiments have loft Chattanooga. Ap I remarked
above, the enemy are engaged in some movement
of importance, and General .Buell probably under
stands what it is. 'He will, I: nnderatand, make:
Nashville his headquarters in +a few days. Ottr:
own troops are moving here and Were, tint
would be imprudent for me to transmiedetiiill. -
believe, however, that Huntsville will yet 'hi, at,
least, partially 'abandoned, as a plaoe of great..
importance.','At the" present time, Nashville is a
very importAt point, as it is the centre of excite
ments.! I merely remark that the 79th l'ennsyl
vanikarrived in the city a few days ago, in order
to eulogize their appearance and drill. Colonel
Hambrightbas .the name throughout this depart
ment of being commander of the finest drilled-regi
ment •in this section. The 'Pennsylvanians per
formed in front of the - Governor's - house; - and
‘.‘4.iady'! made the boys a speech.
Quite an, interesting' little 'affair . occurred. 'at:
Reynolds' Station a few days ago. Capt. C. H.
Ganbert, quartermaster of tho place, had been an
noyed frequently, of late, by roaming bands of
neighbors, who bad formed themselves into .gne
rilla bands. He represented-the case to Col. Mc-
Henry, who permit ted; him to - take .measures for
their arrest. Thereupon Capt. 4aanbert borrowed
about thirty pinto's, and placed_ them into the
hands _of his drivers, who mounted their mules and
started in pu 'rSnit of the guerillas. After an hotsr .
or two, in the *coeds near by, the "cavalry" . sic
ceeded in riaituring . a notorious wealthy rebel,.
named Compton. .T.don't know what they did , with
him, but he was completely bald headed.'atfew
hours after his.arrestouad departed for his home
wiser, and I hope a bettor, man. B C. T.
After reading.the following,-you will admit that
I stated facts in my last letter, wherein I remarked
that this city'was 'a centre of great excitement.
But gloriously situated we are not: We are cut
off from everything and everybody. No telegraphic
news, no mails, no nothing; except ,4 wars and ru-
IMOM of war;;" in fact, we are completely coerced
out of the United Stites, and subject to the will of,
that prince of , blackguards, John Morgan the First.
And, by ;theoway, John-Morgan is a great ohs--
raoter. -sr- queer-looking , perion walks along'

SPECIAL IiSTRFCTIONS -RELATIVE TO

[From the Harrisburg Telegraph, Saturday afternoon.]:
Iu responita to the Prodataittion of Governor Curtin,
Balling on the loyal men of the' Commonwealth to arga-
XliZe and arm for any emergency which: might arise from
the crude in which:we areinvOlved, the:citizens of. liar
nsburg met in their respective warde, yesterday after
noon, and took the initial in 'thg movement Iga"
posed.
The' first movement was not 'followed by any `satinet
organization. It appeared ortlytejlave. been the calling
of the people together for the purpOse of testing their :
temper, leaving permanent 7 'organization for' a - future
early day•
Itis expected that the - arms :Will bnfurnlshed to each
company today, and that an immediate organization
will be. had by the electiosrof After, this has
been !secured, the discipline and effectiveness of each,
company will be perfected - as speedily as possible: '
The companies of all the wards marched to the capitol
grounds, where they assembled around the steps of the
rear of the 'capitol, and „were 'addressed by. Govirnor
Curtin, Parson Brownlow;atid other distinguished SPeak
ern 1 "t ,
Gov. Curtin addressed the-assembled' Mass, remark
ing that he had had more than one. occasion to test, the
loaltY and patriotism of the people of Harrisburg, and
had-aiwaia tound them,trun and unalterable in their de , '
Notion. tcl the Goieinthent. But the conduct of the people
of thelitate capital to-day, excelled all that has hereto
fore dlstlngttshed them. They had, responded to his

they now proved-In - deed, thak they' were iu etirnest-"In .

by the highest consideratiens.of.-publie-safety and na

Thitt duty consisted ha nsilittiry aerviie,- and'thist service
could only be rendered after a thorough :the

been Secured. The plan Protioilidlias the surest in
-reaching this knowledge, and he , trusted, therefore;:that
the enthusiasm disilayed 'WA tey;:bi the.people or Har

and distinguished

• the people. He was glad to see so many of his old
friends before him i he was glad - to witnesii this demon

the'inost implicit confidence. Governor POrter remarked
that all political wrangling should, and must, give way
tithe common danger and imperative necessity of de

necoseary, to defend his `country with hie life. - He could
not, and would not, survive .the -Union. When that
was'ditimembered, he desired no longer to live. The
remarks of the et. Governor were' 'truly impressive.
As he stood on the steps, um: mining his venerable
form by supporting himself on. the iron railing,-hie gray
hair strearning frith° wind, his eye blazing withlhe old
ardor of oratory, his voice, though .weak, still rioging

the enrollment 'Made- by the niarsbals, of men aebject to

of men actually , subject ' to military duty in each district
is ascertained.
When the proper proportion , of each subdivision of the

ally subject to`military duty, you will ascertain from the

the volunteer regiments and companies recognized and

You-will also observe carefully to guard against the
same men being credited in two districts. In some in
stance!, young men whose parents reside in one district
have been, laboring or ;temporarily residing in another,

raiment:in both. When you detect any such case, give
the credit to the district where , the person enlisted-was.
pursuing his lawfulOalling or residing at the time he en
listed, without regard to the residence or his parents:
any districts In your countylhave furnished more

Although the orders of the War Departtient required
the enrollment of all men between the ages of eighteen
end forty-five, the militia laws Of this State exempt from,
inilitary duty all, person: under twenty. one - years.
You will, therefore, when holding appeals, 'erase -front.-
the list all persons who establish the Met to your satis
faction that they are under teenti:one years. You
can examine such persons-under oath, when you are not
otherwise satisfied.
Yon will atonce give notice by handbills, that on the

each district, the number of men necessary to till its
quota, inlets the district furnishes the men as volunteers
on or before that day. State in your handbills distinctly,
that each district oan offer volunteers i.e fill its quota on
the day the draft is to •be made; and thus obviate the

I , Zar/P:l4/1011R OP' HARRIS BURG. Others wi r ei arrived here today an'd'
who have had oppoitimities of intimate association with
some of Abe leading rebel sympathizers of that .place,
state that it is believed there by. those who professlo
know the rea l
. purposes of the rebel leaders that the pro
pramme marchieg upon 'Baltimore, and destroying
the railroad betvieen that plane and this city, has been
abandoned, and that feints only are to be made upon the
Potomac' between Germantown and Harper's Ferry,
while tbe mein body of the rebel arinris pushed forward
rapidly by way of Winchester and Martinsburg to . Wil
liamsport and Hagerstown, with the ultimate intention
of striking:at Harrisburg, Pa.
They say that it was originally, intended that a large.
body of rebel cavalry ahonld cross the Potomac river, by
swimming, and make a dash upon , the Washington
branch of tho Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, in the
vicinity of Savage's factory, and thus destroy enough of
the railroad to intercept the travel between Washington,`
Baltimore, and Annapolis They also say it was design.
cal to blow up the splendid bridge across the Patapscb at
the Belay Dense, but that the idea has been abandoned,
for the reason that it would probably invite en attack.
upon Baltimore by the Union forts north and west of the
city, and.on Federal Hill, as well as Port.hiolledry, - and
thereby destroy the lives and property of the friends of
the rebel cause in Baltimore. •

THE DELAY IN TEE :MOVEMENTS (SP THE • ,DlZtalit
f _ .
EXPEDITION, AND THE CAUSE OF lg..
We have' hoard' all along the Minnesota Valley, and
here at the capihd, almost universed)complaints against
Cot. Sibley,' for his dilatory movements against the Sioux.
The people knew that ha had a considerable fo-oeneder
him, and their. expectations _kept .pace with their impa
tience to see the savages whc; bad desolated our frontier
wiped out , speedily from the. face of the 'earth. Their
impatience was natural, but their expectations more MY,
and eventoolhhly, grounded. ' • •
The people will be surprised •to learn that thenoin
panies of the Bth 'Regiment taken by Colonel Sibley to
St. Peter were rendered almost utterly ineffective by the
worthless character of the arms issued to them. These
arms were what aro called fi Austrian rifles," and to
show their quality we will refer to an eeperintent made
with them. Captain Grant's company, numbering sixty
muskets, after thoroughly cleaning their arms and stiffen
ing the springs of the locks by leather bolsters, attempted
to lire a round, and of the sixty ft Austrian guns, mai._
twenty-nine could be made to explode . These were the
kind of arms placed in the hands of the three or four
companies sent with Colonel Sibley to St. Peter. •
The troupe, compelling seven companies, which marched
up the Talley under the command of Col. °rooks, Were,
armed with the Springfield rifled, musket,. ei - .perfeiet
weapon. -Rut these weapons were rendered almost worth... . .
-less for the rennin that the eattridges sera along with
them were of too large a calibre to be used. A shift wee -
made, however; by recasting and " esveigliag" the balls, ..
to use Such portions as were not wastedinkhat-process. • •
Col. Sibley, in this dilemma, with warthlesa,guns fqe
his geed cartriagee, and with wrong-sized cartridgeis
for his good gnus, waited in St. Peter in daily expectation
of supplies-of ammunition which hid been promised
him, until his patience was .eixhansted ; when, on Tam
day,. the 26th August, he moved his command for Fort
Bidgley. - He mane this march with only ten rounds in
the cartridge boxes of his men, and these were supplied •
by recasting the wror.g- sized balls whieh had
_unforta•
nately been furnished him. These ten rounds,
any one
knows, would net bavesufliced for as many minut e.'
and he ran en unjustifiable rick in marching toward '
enemy in such a condition. • _. • .
Col. Sibley arrived with his men, and the ten rounda s
on Thursday afternoon, and it was not UritilliaturdaY
afternoon, the 30th August, that further- supplies Of OW..
munition reached him. Be then rhoetveit 46.000 oar
tridges: but, neon examination, 22,000' of these wore
found, as before of too large a calibre for hie guns .
Weleft his enOampment, near Fort Ridgley; on Eitui
day, the 31st, at which time the men wore trying, with
their imperfect 'facilities. to recast the oversized balls,
and orders were out to march on the succeeding day.' W.
presume this was done ; but we presume, also, that if
done, it was an unwarrantable and unmilitary prooeed
frig on the part of Col- Sibley; 'for be could not have
bad, taking into wenn& the wastage involved In making
over his cartridges, more -than abortt , forty rounds to a
man. Thirty minutes' fighting, of ordli ary briskness,
would suffice to empty every cartridge'box; and with' tus
reserve supply, his mon wenld have nothing to depend
upon but tbeir bayonets or - their legs, either of which
would amount todittle against Indiana 112ily armed,.
abundantly supplied with ambit:milieu, and splen

. _PACIFISM. '
„
Stem RAPIDS; Aug. 30,
The Chippewa scarelias abOnesnhaided, and "the farm.; •
era of thia.vicir.ity have generally returned tome to see;
cure their crops. There has been no hostilityamong.thil . -
01iipPeweie towards the whites. The only trouble hat'
• been,. that they have complained of having.fbeeif' dee.'
franeed out of a portion of their annuities by .the late •
agent; and some months since, -Hole-in-the-D4 went_ z_.
to ..W.a ihington„and-damanded - of - the - Commiaeioner of
Indian Affairs and the Secretaryof the Interior an in
vestigation of the matter. " This was promised hint. Immo- '
diately, but-the investigation was deferred, until:the In
dians 'becoming impatient, assembled a small number .
. and kilted three oxen beloneing -to the Indian term.
Agent Walker then ordered -a squat of troops to -arrest
tHole-in-the.Day. He was found at Crow Wing, edens
:and unsamed,.with the exception of a revolver, sii.lieeing
the troops in pursuit, ho threw off his blanket anti ran for
file honee,ttwo miles above Omni Wing, where he arrived.- .
.and • In great - haste took - hie wife and children - into a
canoe and crewel the river. At about the -moment he
landed on the west bank Of the river, Sergeant Staoy.
with Iwo privates, arrived on the.opposite bank, ant or
dered him to halt or he would fire ; end, not being obeyed,
the sergeant gave orders to fire. Heti-in-the-day Then
turned around and returned the fire 'with 'bid 'revolver. •
And, thus erded the fight so graphically described by the
commandant of Fort Ripley 'as having* taken place be
tiveen.tweeti • six of his command and fifty Indian war
riors tinder Hole.in-the- Day.
Large numbers of settlerit have left the country, during
the panic created by faleo and exaggerated reports of the
numbers and disposition of the Indiana at Gull Lake.
On the very evening that the commanding bet Per of Fort
Bigler saved that poet from ' capture by his "prompt
ness," I wee having a talk " with Hole-in-the• Day at
Gull Lake, twenty.three•miles from the fort Left Gull
Lake It 9 P. N., and not an Indian was seen between
there and the fort, except two or three old decrepid ones,
with their squaws, at Crow Wing.
The Indians, have made no demonstration whatevei
against the citizens of Crow Wing, and it is ail gammon
about their having robbed the stores and trading houses
'at that point. To be sure, the pillagers broke open the
trading houses at Leech Lake, about seventy miles from
Fort Ripley ; but this is ,nothing worse than they have
done frequently. The. prisoners taken by the pillagers
Were well treated, and released befora the arrival of trapt.
Hall from recruiting. serv.ice,below. -Capt. Hall was in
formed at Little Fathom big way from Si, Paul, that the
prisoners would be released-that day, which wee done.
I should not have saidebne much of the report of Oapt.
Hall to GOT: Bumf, wire it not that itts an official pa
per, and containing so mtich. - misetatement is liable to
produce an unnecessary feeling 'of hostility towards the-
Chippewas; who have always been she warm friends .and
allies of the whites. and I believe hold themselves in resi
dineees,,as soon as theta slight troubles are adjusted, to
turn thiewhole strength of their nation against their he
reditarrenerniert; the; Sioux.
AcCOtrNT. OF THE MASSACRE AT LAKE SHETER. j
[From the Mankato Independent, Aug. 29 ]
In sedition to the murders committed in Brown COUR•
ty and at the agencies, we have the parZioulars of simi
lar depredatioris upon the settlers at Lake Sbetek, Mar- .
ray county; aboht Meet. miles west of Maukato. The
entire settlement at that point has been wiped out of
existence. The followmg. particn'ars we learn from
Messrs Everett end Hatch, who escaped the massacre,
and are now in the hospital at this place. Their state
ments are thoroughly reliable: •
The massacre at Lake Shetek commenced on. Wednes
day, by the murder of two men. The wife and twit
children of one—Mr. Heard—escaped, and through whom
the alarm was giien. The settlers immediately. col
lected in a house for the purpose of giving fight to the
Indians. After discussing their means of resistance and
the overpowering strength of the red devils : it was
thought best to endeavor to escape. _ The wonien-and
cbildren were placed in wagons for that purpose, guard red
by the men.
• „TEE INDIANS prastri—THElV TREACHERY,
The party started, and, when . about two miles distant,
they were pursued by the Indians. The women end
children were taken from the wagons and hid in the tail
grass The men were attacked, and two ran at the first
fire. 7he remainder fought until Mr. Reath& was killed.
and the other five wounded; Mr. Ireland mortally, and
left on the prairie to die. At• this juncture the Indians
came within speaking distance, and Staid if the women
and children would come out they won'd not kill theta.
The women did not want to go, but they were persuaded
by the men, who hoped that their families might be saved
"from butchery and afterwards ransomed by the Govern
ment.' They finally consented, and started with the In
dians. A son-of Mr. Eastlick, twelve "years old, followed
the Indians a.shore distance, and then returned; saying
that when about half a mite froner---

=wereev - wirm - Wnwere told that they would
- Wlit until the war was .over. This is believed to be
Correct, as the men distinctly heard the firing :
ESCAPE - OF ONR`WONNDED, AND NETTER'.
The five wounded men were left by the Indians to die.
Mr. Ireland was,fatally wounded. •lhey remained lir the
grass until they supposed the Indiani bad - disappeared.,
hen Mr. Everett wee assisted to his feet, and that gen
tleman with Hectare. ,Hatch. and Bently started in the
direction of New Dim to'make their escape. Mr. Duly
took a different -direction, Everett, Hatch and Bentley
wilked . sixteen miles, where they overtook a neighbor
named layers, Who was escaping with his sick wife and -
tonr children in' an' oxteaut: They got into the wagon
and' continued 'their jourtioy until near New Ulm Myers
left theteam to go into-town for assistance, and Wile*
too near. - to turn back,•was pursued by Indians, but es
caping them he reached the place in safety. After wait- .
ing a reasonable time for Myers' return, the party resumed
their journeywithout him. They continued until near
Crystal Lake, in this county, where Captain Dane's own-
Jenny, was encaropeil,:and mistaking his tents for Sion:
tepees,. they left their• wagon and hid is a swamp. -Ire
• doing so they were' fortunately observed by the soldier, .
•who hunted this's up and brought them- to town. From
the time their wounds. were received until they. were'
- dreieed by a surgeon, ;net eight days elapsed. On their •
Journey they lived en flour mixed with water and baked
in tb'etmii, fearing to make fire and thereby expose their

hereabouts 'to the .
