At a recent council of the Menomonee Indians, 
held at Kisheno, Wisconsin, some remarkable state¬ 
ments were made. One of the chiefs (Meh-ehi-ke- 
nilo) said that. Dandy, the chief of the Winneba- 
gops, had told him that a blow was to be struck this 
summer at the white settlers, that he (Dandy) had 
communicated with the secessionists of the South, 
and that ail the tribes of the Northwest were to 
rise this snmmer and make common cause with the 
rebels. He suid further, that it the Menomonees 
would join them, they would be protected by the 
South ; but if they would not, the other tribes would 
make war on them and exterminate them. Several 
other child's followed, with similar revelations of 
the conspiracy concocted against the whites at the 
instigation of the rebels. There was a general and 
gratifying expression of loyalty among the Meno¬ 
monee* at the meeting, and a determination on the 
purl-of the chiefs to remain faithful to their treaty 
obligations and peaceable towards the whites. 
Tub Rebel Invasion. — The Toronto Olobe gives 
a Canadian opinion of the late rebel invasion:—One 
thing is absolutely certain. The movement into 
Maryland teas a gigantic Uunder. It did not gain 
the Confederacy recruit*, but, on the contrary, 
proved that the people of Maryland rather prefer 
Washington to Richmond. Any food which the 
Southerners picked up they must have consumed in 
the State Itself. They obtained a few thousand 
pairs of shoes and sacrificed for them many thou¬ 
sand men and the jrresiige victory.

Sous; idea of the amount of ammunition required 
to supply an army such as Gen. McClellan’*, during 
a heavy fight like that at AnticUm, may be gained 
from the fact that thirty-eight tuns of' ammunition 
were forwarded (o Gen. Mc.ClellaUi from Washing¬

An eye-witness of the battle states that he counted 
at lour different times during the day the number of

On the 30th nit., Col. Farnsworth’s brigade of cav 
airy, accompanied by Gibson’*and Tidball's United 
States batteries, crossed the Potomac into Virginia, 
below Shepard stow n. The force reeonnoitered the 
country for a distance of five or six miles from the 
river, and discovered that the enemy still holds his 
position in the vicinity of Winchester. 
Major Madill, of the 8th Illinois cavalry, with 
three squadrons took the road leading from Shep¬ 
ard stow n to Martinsburg. and met one regiment of 
the enemy’* cavalry four mill's from the former 
place. The enemy also had two pieces of artillery, 
and fired a few shells, but without effect. The reto*) 
videtls, who were at Bhepardstown and along the 
roads in the morning, retired as our cavalry ad¬ 
vanced. 
Capt. Farnsworth, of the 8lh III., took the road to 
Winchester. In the houses along the way he took 
possession of over twenty of the enemy’s wounded, 
including Col. Megil, of Georgia—all of whom were 
paroled. At Bhepardstown, Gen. Pleasanton's Pro¬ 
vost Marshul paroled 4(H) rebel wounded. Our 
artillery was not brought into practice. 
Gen. Griffin, with the 14th N. V., 62d Penn,, 32d 
Mass., and 2d District of Columbia regiment, also 
crossed the river and proceeded a mile and a half 
beyond. They took over four wagons, which they 
brought in at night, loaded with forage. They also 
picked up 25 muskets. 
On the 1st Inst., General Pleasanton crossed the 
Potomac at Bhepardstown, with a force of Kane’s 
artillery, to make a reconnoissance in the enemy's 
rear, information having been received that the 
artillery had fallen back from the line of the river. 
He came up with them near Shepards town, driving 
them to Martinsburg, from which place they were 
soon shelled out by artillery. IIis loss was two 
men wounded. The relx-ls had one man killed and 
two wounded. A rebel lieutenant and two men 
were taken prisoners, and a number of wounded 
paroled. Very few rebel troops are believed to is* 
Bardstown udvices say the rebels were from 30.000 
to 35,000 strong within a circuit of eight miles around 
Bardstown. Our central division was, on the 4th, 
lour miles from that place. They have been skir¬ 
mishing and driving the rebels before them for three 
days. We have taken 500 prisoner*. 
It is said that Kirby Bmitb has arrived at Frank¬ 
fort, with 10,000 men, and Humphrey Marshall Ison 
his way with 6,000. The rebels evidently intend to 
make a stand, and a battle at Bardstown seems im¬ 
minent. 
and four piece* of artillery, making six in all, and 
i" him drove the rebels back into Ncutonia. Con- 
derable cannonading was kept up for some lime. 
About night our troops commenced falling back to 
camp for the night. The rebels followed, when our 
men turned and drove them buck again, and held 
the field. The Federal loss during the day was 
about 140 killed, wounded and missing, most of them 
taken prisoner*, such as our wounded as fell into 
the hands of the rebel* were treated in a most bar¬ 
barous manner, The rebel loss is unknown, but is 
thought to be larger than ours in killed and wounded. 
Advices received from Gen. Schofield, state that 
with u powerful army he was at Sarooxie, it miles 
from Neutonift, where the rebels, 16,000 strong, are 
collected. He expected to reach there, and if the reb¬ 
els do not vacate we may expect to hear immediate-

An official report relating to the battles of South 
Mountain and Antietam has been received by the 
government from Major-General McClellan. It 
read as follows: 
Near SnAurnTinxu). Sept. 29, J ; 3() p. M. 
To Major-Qcmrul II. W. QaJkclc: I have the 
honor to iiqwiil til® following as borne of the results 
of tho battle* of South Mountain and Aotietnrn: At. 
South Mountain our loss wo*443 dead. 18(16 wounded 
and 76 mitring Total 2325. At Antietam our loss 
was 2010 killed, '.1416 wounded, and 1043 missing. 
Total 12,461). Total loss in tho two battles 14.71)4. 
1 lie loss ol the retods in the two buttles, as near 
as-can lie ascertained Horn the number ol their dead 
found upon the Held, will not toll far short ot the 
following esiimuto Major Davis, Assist. Inspector 
General, who superintended the burial of the dead, 
reports about 3.000 rebels buried upon the field of 
Antietam, by our troops. Previous to Hu's, however, 
the rebels had buried many of llieir own dead upon 
tbe distant portion of the bail in field which they 
occupied a ter the battle, probably m least f»00. J 
The loss ot the rebels at. South Mountain cannot 
be ascertained with accuracy, but a* out troops con 
tiruuitly drove them from the commencement of the 
action, and as u much greater number of tlielr dead 
was seen upon the buttle field than ot nor own men. 
it is not unreasonable to suppose their loss was 
greater (ban ours. Ksiimaiing their killed at Mid, 
the total number of rebels killed in the two battles ' 
would be 4 000. 
According to the ratio of our own killed and 
wounded, this would make their loss in wounded 
18,742. As nearly as can be determined at this lime 
toe cumber ol prisoner* taken by our troops in the 
two battles will, at the lowest estimate, amount to 
6,000. The full returns will show a large number 
of ihese as woo ruled. This gives a rebel loss in 
killed, wounded and prisoners of 25 552. It will be 
observed that this does not include ibeir stragglers, 
the number of whom is said by citizens to be very 
large. It may bo Bate I y concluded therefor® that 
the rebel* lost at least 30.000 of their best troops. 
From the lime our troop* first encountered the 
enemy in Maryland, until lie was driven back into 
Virginia, we captured 13 guns, 7 caissons, 9 limber*, 
3 field forges. 2 caisson I todies, 39 colors, and one 
»igrml llag. \Y® have not lost a signal gnu or a 
color. 
On tbe battle field of Antietam 14 000 small arms 
were collected, beside* a largo number carried off 
by citizen*, nnd those distributed on the ground to 
recruits aud other unarmed men arriving imme¬ 
diately after the battle. At South Mountain no col¬ 
lection of small arms was made, owing to the haste 
I between there and Martinsburg. The work of re- 
. constructing the bridge at Harper’* Ferry is rapidly 
, progressing. - 
The second edition of the Washington Mar of the 
, 3d, has the following: • 
Deserters and prisoners coming into our lines at 
i Harper’s Ferry within forty-eight hours, seem to 
agree (hat Gen. Lee to now making every prepara¬ 
tion to retreat with his whole army as soon ns Gen. 
McClellan shall move against him. We give this 
story for what it may he worth. At noon to-day it 
was ascertained that the rebel force at the Rappa¬ 
hannock station consisted of three regiments of 
Infantry and two of cavalry. Their present duly is 
to patrol the south bank of the river, from the

McCi.eu.an’s llKADqtiAKTKHH, October 5th. A 
company of the 5lh Penn., who were guarding the 
Baltimore ami Ohio Railroad Bridge at Paw Paw, 
half way bet ween Hancock and Cumberland, were 
attacked by a rebel (dice on the 4tb, and all taken 
prisoners. At the same time u considerable force 
under,Col. McUeyaolds, captured the encampment 
of tho rebels, bringing away two pieces of artillery, 
ten wagons, and sixty horses and mules. A Htrong 
cavalry force under Gen. Averill, ha*been scut, alter 
the retreating rebels. 
A letter from the army of the Upper Potomac, 
says the rebels have begun the work of destruction 
of th® Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Bridges, cui- 
verts, and embankment*, are being destroyed, ex¬ 
cavations tilled up, and rails and stock carried off. 
During the past week, the President, accompanied 
by Sumner and other Generals, visited the troops 
on Loudon and Mary laud Heights, and rode over

lau conducted the President over the Antietam 
battle field, accompanied by u brilliant array ol offi¬ 
cers, including Gen. McClellan's stuff. The Presi¬ 
dent manifested the greatest interest in everything 
connected with our recent victory.

says Gen G. W. Morgan had arrived with his whole

trains and artillery with him. His men are in fine 
health, notwithstanding their hardships. Morgan’s 
retreat was the most hazatilou* and arduous of the 
war. During its march northward, our army was 
constantly enveloped by the enemy’s cavalry. Mor¬ 
gan main tained the offensive throughout. Our troops 
had no water hut that found in stagnant pools. All
