A NEW PAMPHLET, Free by post for four stamps. lIESSRS. GAB RIEL, (Established 1815.) London 56, Harley-street, Cavendish-square, W. 71 Liverpool 134, Duke-street, and Brighton ATTENDANCE DAILY. A picture in a recent number of Frank Leslie's illustrated Paper represented a party of scouts resting on their rifles, contemplating, as sportsmen regard the game they have bagged, the bodies of some seventy Indian men, women, and children they had just slain. The news of this successful raid had but then arrived in New York, and formed a mere paragraph for the papers. The intelligence a few weeks later from Kansas, reverses the picture, showing the Indians in all the frippery of war-paint and feathers desolating the valley of the Solomon's Fork, and committing atrocities which a General famous for a march of unequalled desolation de clares to b e _t oo _l iors ibia to &tail. That a general Indian war is now raging is clear from the telegrami which have reached this country. W e have news of a massacre in Colorado, of a fight in Kansas, and of the capture and destruction of a waggon train by the Indians with its sixteen guards, who were scalped and their bodies burnt. From l)acotah, which borders the British Provinces, through Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, and New Mexico, which bor ders Old Mexico, the Indians appear to be in motion. It is not easy to ascertain the imme diate cause, although the general reason is suf ficiently evident. The finest buffalo ground is through the country of the Cheyennes and Arapa hoes, and it is this territory which is threatened by the Northern Branch, and, in truth, invaded by the Eastern Division of the Union Pacific Railway. The buffalo, so jealously guarded by the Indians, is an animal easly scared, and disappears before advanc ing civilization like night before the rising sun. The tribes, ever since the mails were carried along the Smoky Hill route, have been in a state of great uneasiness, and they have seen with dismay the mail track give place to a railway before which the pale faces havesettled down on the country in swarms, stealing mile by mile into the very heart of their hunting grounds. There is little love lost between the advancing settler and the invaded Indian. They hate each other with that bitterness which makes the achievement of slaying an enemy a life long source of congratulation. The quiescent hostility prevailing, even in peace, may readily be fanned into active war on the least provocation, and any opportunity of striking a blow, if presented to the Indians, could not be resisted, and, if to the settlers, would not be resisted. As yet we have no satisfactory reason for the fierce onslaught of the Cheyennes and the Arapahoes on the Kansas settlers. But one with an air of probability comes from the proceedings of the Pawnees, Omahas, Winnebagoes, and Ponchas, who united their tribes for a grand hunt, bringing into the field 1,500 warriors towards the end of July. They crossed the Platte River near Fort Kearney ; accompanied by Major FRANK NORTH and half his command, then stationed at Grand Island on the Platte, with six or seven white men who were on a hunting trip. The ground chosen was the Republican Fork, which flows close along tho boundary ling of Kansas. till it leaves Nebraska and enters that State, running paral lid with Solomon River till they both Giilpty into the Kansas. The truth is, that these tribes were poaching upon the preserves of the Sioux, the Cheyennes, and the Arapahoes, who quickly came to the rescue of the buffalo. During last month the hunting party was attacked first by a small force of the Sioux, who were compelled to retreat with loss. After some time the Sioux returned to the charge, reinforced by the Cheyenne and other tribes, who managed to cut in between the scattered parties of the invaders when hunting over the country in pur suit of buffalo. Against Major NORTH the attack was mainly directed, and for a period he and his command were in imminent danger, being compelled to dismount to maintain the position they had taken till relieved by the friendly Indians, during which time he lost three killed and a large number wounded out of his fifty men. This desultory en gagement lasted for eight hours before the Pawnees, who had five killed besides many wounded, reunited with their Allies, and presented a solid front for action. Then the Sioux, Cheyennes, and Ara pahoes withdrew, desirous of saving the loss of a pitched battle. Major NORTH and his command returned towards the middle of last month to Grand Island, and the hunting tribes gradually broke up and retreated to their own country, not liking the hornet's nest they had raised. Now here was the opportunity of the Cheyennes and the Araphoes—hera was the chance for the warriors who panted for the excitement and dis tinction of action. The tribes were assembled and on the war-path, and their enemies had melted into nothing before them. A more deadly foe still, lay exposed in the valley of the neighbouring river, engaged in a work far more destructive to the hunting-ground than what in their opinion was the more legitimate raid of the Pawnees. That inroad of the Nebraska Indians had been headed by a United States officer, and the Cheyenne and other warriors had fallen mainly beneath United States bullets. What wonder if these tribes considered this an act of war which justified them in immediate and indiscriminate retaliation. Perhaps the first the settlers of Solomon River Valley knew of the matter was when they found the full weight of this Indian torrent rolling down. Even the instinct of the celebrated scout, BILL COM STOCK, failed to save him when caught in this deluge, and he was killed after a life of marvellous adventure ; but his body was recovered, and his companions rescued, though badly wounded. When the Cheyennes and the Arapahoes began to feel the influence of the indignation they had excited, all Kansas being aroused, and United States troops pushed rapidly up to the scene of action, they re treated towards the Arkansas—that is, they passed through Solomon's Valley, which lies between the Republican and the Arkansas Rivers. Being fol lowed vigorously they were compelled to abandon children they were carrying into captivity, and it appears that they were overtaken at Fort Dodge, and defeated after an action in which four sol diers were killed and seventeen wounded. The news of large bodiesbeing on the war-path sets other tribes into motion, and the waggon train, we presume, between Santa Fe :and Kansas, fell a victim, as announced in the Cable telegram. The Valley of Solomon's Fork lies about 40 miles west of Fort Riley, and is picturesque and fertile in no ordinary. degree. In the Spring of 1867 it was said to con tain nearly a thousand settlers, and Solomon's city, close to the point where the railroad crosses the stream, is represented as a brisk, thriving, rather pretty new town. The Selina, a smaller river, run ning parallel, which also flows into the Kansas, is the site of a thriving settlement, the town contain ing even more than a year ago two thousand inha bitants. It is to this point that the teamsters from Santa IN now direct their course, which being the line of retreat taken by the Indians, almost necessa rily led to the destruction of any waggon trains on the road. General SHERIDAN, who is acting under SHERMAN'S orders, has directed the immediate and forcible removal of the Cheyennes and Arapahoes, and is vigorously - carrying out his own order. SHER ' MAN, after getting his troops into motion, hastened to inform the PRESIDENT of his action, tele graphing to Washington that he had ordered PRICE 4d. STAMPED 51 the forcible expulsion of the Indians from Kansas, and acknowledging that his order amounts to war, which he hoped would be only on a small scale. " Notify me promptly," he added, " if the PRESI DENT disapproves my action, but I deem further forbearance with the Indians impossible." his despatch was communicated to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, who reported to the Secretary of the Interior that he hal receivel no official information in reference to the alleged massacre. He thought the innocent should not suffer with the guilty while not denying the General's right thus to deal with those en gaged in the atrocities—indeed admitting the neces sity of punishing them. This was submitted to the War Department, together with a despatch from Superintendent Mmtrav to the Indian Bureau, stating that information not official hal reached him of the massacre by these Indians of a Mrs WHITE, and several others. In view of all the facts the PRESIDENT informed General SCHOFIELD that he approved the rigid course pursued by General SHERMAN, and thus has been inaugurated another Indian war. Vast as is the territory, so few and weak are the tribes, that it is said the whole number of Red Indians does not now exceed 300,000. But as with the English settlers in New Zealand, though that land wholly differs, the difficulty is to get at the na tives. The territory for the most part is open roll ing prairie, and the Indians ride hardy horses and work with an instinct which only such scouts a 3 BILL COMSTOCK can divine and excel. The -cumbrous machinery .of.__e_gul4r armies is wholly unfitted for the work, for, as we have often ex plained, the very essence of civilized warfare con sists in points of attack and bases of operation. These Indian hostilities will cost a prodigious sum and produce little result, merely accelerating the fate of the tribes and hastening the day . when a Red Indian will be a curiosity in America. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Sept. 11. The revision of the lists of claimants under the lodger qualification in the city of Dublin promises to be a protracted and difficult operation. Not only are many knotty points raised that have a some what general application, and each of which, once decided, will rule the decision in subsequent cases on these poihts, but the circumstances of the claim ants and the essentials of their claims vary so much that the hearing, even of the most simple case, occu pies a considerable portion of time. The question " What is a lodger ?" was solved yesterday, so far as one of the principal points is concerned, by the Court unanimously deciding that the term does not apply to the occupier of a portion of a house which is let in tenements, and iu which the landlord does not reside—in fact, in any case in which the landlord would be a trespasser if he en tered the hall door without leave of the tenant. When, however, the landlord kept a key and re served the right of entry the occupiers had a right to be regarded as lodgers. This decision, it is said, will materially injure the Liberal list, the larger number of claimants of the class excluded having belonged to the Liberal side. Another question raised was whether the payment of 4s. a week was to be regarded as in itself a proof that the apart ments occupied by a lodger were valued at £lO a year. In one case an actor paid os. a week for apart ments ; but it having been alleged as against his claim that the apartments were not of the clear value of £lO a year, he damaged his own case by reminding the Court that a landlord would not let his apartments at sa low a rate to an actor who was in the habit of coming in late at night as to an ordinary lodger. It was also urged against the claimant that rooms would bring more than their " dear animal value" when let by the week. The opinion of the Court, was in faYvur of and of reauiring, therefore, evidenoo in all racte.s of the " clear annual value" irrespective of the amount of rent paid. The Court also ruled that a shop is a lodging, and that a man's apprentice, even when in receipt of wages, is a member of his family, and is therefore not a joint occupier. A clerk of Grangegorman Prison, who claimed on account of his residence in the prison, was struck off the list, although he stated that if he were allowed to live outside, as he would be if he were married, he thought his salary would be larger. A number of the freemen Of Dublin who voted for Mr. Pim at the last election have passed a reso lution binding themselves not to support him at the coming election—first, on the ground that he voted for the abolition of the freemen franchise ; and, second, because of his declaration against the Irish Church Establishment. Two of the candidates for Belfast have issued their addresses. Sir Charles Lanyon, one of the present members, and Mr. Thomas M'Clure, a new candidate of opposite (Liberal) views. Sir Charles Lanyon, although expressing his belief that in ordi nary times his votes would be a sufficient index to his political views, considers that " at a crisis like the present, when revolutionary schemes for the destruction of our Protestant institutions and those religious endowments which are the homage of our kingdom to truth are certain to be immediately brought under the consideration of the next Parlia ment, some declaration of opinion on this essential point is due to the electors." He will, he says, op pose all such schemes, but at the same time he will "be pleased to see, with a view of promoting its efficiency, the reform of all abuses or anomalies which may exist in the Established Church, and to resist the introduction of all spurious and illegiti mate rites and practices." Believing that the com mon law of the land is sufficient to maintain peace and good order among the people, he is prepared to support " any feasible proposition" that may be brought forward for the repeal of the Party Proces sions Act. Mr. M'Clure declares himself in favour of disestablishing and disendowing the Irish Church. He would also give to tenants a legal claim to the full value of their improvements. Both addresses are silent on the question of education. Mr. George Henry Moore, candidate for county Mayo, addressed a meeting of electors at Castlebar on Wednesday, in the yard of the parish chapel. The town was inundated by about 1,000 of the tenants of Mr. Moore and Mr. Blake, opposing factions, " every man of them," says a correspon dent of the Daily Express, "being armed with newly-cut shillelaghs." It is added that all passed off quietly, there being only a few trifling skirmishes as night set in. The meeting adopted a resolution pledging themselves to support Mr. Moore. Among the speakers was the notorious " Father" Lavelle, parish priest of Partry. THE LOCUSTS FOR POSTS.—Clark Smith, of Say ville, Long Island, says that forty years' experience in setting fences with locust posts has convinced him that no others are worth using when this timber can be ob tained. Split locust posts well seasoned, while he put in 40 years ago, are sound now, which round post set green will rot in 15 years.

It. ROUT ET, Deputy Commissary-General. 1 1/1, R. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52, LY_l_ Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve teeth i hat are loose, and is gua ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti cation. 52, Fleet-otreet. At home from 10 till 5. ~~ i/ ~ ~-- _ ~~ ~;~ G 11 z FMnali',ll/1.1 The will of Field-Marshal the Right Hon.

The strictly private character of the royal continental tour has been maintained up to the last, and her Majesty and the members of the Royal Family who accompanied her to Switzerland have once more landed on British soil, without any of those exuberant demonstrations of loyalty which under other circumstances would have been manifested. About two o'clock on Friday afternoon the royal squadron, accompanied by the Trinity yacht, steamed through Spitbead, the Victoria and Albert leading. The weather was beautifully fine, not a cloud appearing in the horizon, and the surface of the water was almost as smooth as glass. There was scarcely a breath of wind, the dead calm interfering sadly with the local regatta which was taking place. An immense concourse of people lined the extensive range of beach at Southsea, and the ramparts were also crowded, while the entrance to Portsmouth harbour was thickly studded with craft of almost every description, from the trim-looking sailing-boat to the slender galley. The royal standard was not flying on board the Victoria and Albert, but as it was known that the Queen was on board, her approach to the harbour was watched with the greatest interest by thousands of spectators. The band of the 33rd Regiment (recently returned from Abyssinia), was stationed on the Southsea Clarence Esplanade pier, and as the royal yacht passed played the National Anthem, and some slight cheering followed, although the well-understood wishes of her Majesty, that her whole tour should be carried out in the most private manner possible, evidently checked anything like that hearty expression of loyalty with which her Majesty is invariably received on all public occasions. At half-past two o'clock the royal squadron steamed into harbour, and the Victoria and Albert was moored oppo site the King's Stairs in Portsmouth Dockyard. A number of wherries, crowded with spectators, lay astern, anxious to catch a glimpse of the Queen, and the workmen on board the troopship Crocodile crowded into the rigging, and when, about twenty minutes to four, her Majesty embarked in the royal gig, there was a slight cheer from the Crocodile, although here again the feeling to which we have before alluded appeared to restrain the men. Her Majesty was rowed across the harbour to the Royal Clarence Victualling-yard at Gosport, where Admiral Sir Thomas Pasley, Bart., naval commander-in-chief at Portsmouth, and Lieutenant-General Sir George Buller, K.C.8., commanding south-western district, were in attendance. Her Majesty immediately proceeded by train to Windsor. The public have to wait patiently for Parliamentary reports. Directly they aro ordered by the House of Com mons to be printed they are put in the printer's hands, and yet a couple of months or more elapses before they make their appearance. The Duke of Saxe-Meiningen has, in conformity with the decision come to by the Council of the North Ger man Confederation, abolished his consulates abroad. The interests of his Highness's subjects in foreign countries will henceforth be confided to the Consuls-General of the Federat ion. The five prisoners in custody at Altrincham, °hail ed with the murder of Thomas Jenkinson at Bowdon, last Sunday, have been before the magistrates, and were committed for trial for wilful murder. The sixth man, who was arrested at Liverpcol, has been discharged, not having been identified as one of the parties to the outrage. Mr. Justice Hannen on Friday attended at the judges' chambers. No further application was made for bail in the case of Madame Rachel, and as the sessions of the Central Criminal Court commence on Monday, it is ...Amer application for made. NEW OATH OF ALLEGIANCE.—The oath of alle giance to be taken by members in the new Parliament is prescribed by the recent Act on " promissory oaths." It is very short : " I do swear that I will be faithful, and bear true allegiance to her Majesty Queen Victoria, her heirs and successors, according to law. So help me God." A MILLION OF PAUPERS IN ENGLAND AND WALES.—By a return just issued, it appears that on the first day of January of this year the number of paupers in receipt of relief, in-door or out-door, in England and Wales (including lunatics and vagrants) was more than one million and forty thousand. In the year ending March 25, 1867, nearly £7,000,000 was expended for the relief of the poor, or more than half a million in excess of the sum spent during the previous year. The rate per head on the population for the relief of the poor was 6s. Cid. for the year ending March 25, 1867. THE " DUMBFOUNDED SPANIARDS."—There has been a great deal of merriment at Mr. Roebuck's choice of a term for abusing the Spaniards—" the dumbfounded Spaniards "—but this incriminated expression seems to us the only one of any merit in the speech,—not for its good sense, which God has been pleased to deny to Mr. Roebuck, but for its picturesqueness. It does, we think, contrive to convey a conception of the Spanish mind, awakening, like Rip van Winkle, from a sleep of three centuries, and opening with its astonished eyes on the rush of modern pro gress. At least, if this is not what Mr. Roebuck meant, it is what his much-ridiculed adjective suggests to us.--k Spectator. DEATH OF WASHINGTON IRVING'S BROTHER.--- , Ebenezer Irving, the brother of Washington Irving, has just died at Sunny Side, in America, at the age of 93. Washington Irving, once writing to a friend respecting his brother Ebenezer, said : " I think him one of the most perfect exemplifications of the Christian character that I have ever known. He has all father's devotion and zeal, without his strictness. Indeed, his piety is of the most genial and cheerful kind, interfering with no rational pleasure or elegant taste, and obtruding itself upon no one's habits, opinions, or pursuits. I wish to God I could feel like him. I envy him that indwelling source of consola:i tion and enjoyment which appears to have a happier effect than all the maxims of philosophy or lessons of worldly wisdom." NEW CLOCK AT LONDON BRIDGE.—Mr. Thomas Hughes, M.P., accompanied by Mrs. Hughes, presided at the uncovering of the large and handsome illuminated clock, erected by the United Kingdom Temperance and General Provident Institution, in front of their new pre mises in Adelaide•place, London Bridge. After the cere mony the company adjourned to the board-room, where an elegant repast awaited them, after which Mr. R. W. Selway, Mr. John Taylor, the Rev. G. M. Murphy, and and other gentlemen delivered addresses, in which the prosperity of the institution was repeatedly alluded to as a source ot congratulation, its capital now considerably exceeding one million sterling ; the number of policies issued, 46,000 ; and its annual income being not less than £200,000. "LA LANTERNE " IN LONDON.—We find the following improbable story in La Liberte:—"No. 15 of La Lanterne, containing extracts from the works of Napoleon 111., could not be sold yesterday in the public streets. A regular squadron of policemen marched, about five o'clock in the morning, into the French quarter ot London, and the newsvendors were driven with violence from their usual post at the corner of the Caf6lldgence. This in London ! What would it have been in Paris ? Thert; was almost a riot ; the people unanimously siding with the newsvendors. A person in authority at length ap peared, who established order by giving it to be under, stood that there had been a mistake, in consequence of rr foreign manoeuvre, about which he would give no explana tion. A copy of La Lanterne was also produced in Vienna ; but there it was immediately seized, by order of the autho rities." METROPOLITAN CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION. —A meeting of the advocates appointed by the several local associations in the metropolitan boroughs, to represent Conservative interests in the revision courts, was held at the office of this association on Friday afternoon, at which representatives were present from the cities of London and Westminster, the boroughs of Greenwich, Hack. ney, Marylebone, Finsbury, Lambeth, Tower Hamlets, Southwark, and the new borough of Chelsea. Mr. C, Graham Carttar, the honorary secretary of the association, was in the chair, and resolutions were come to which will materially assist the numerous claimants and others whose interests are concerned on this occasion. Arrangements were made for a proper report of the proceedings at tht courts, to enable the different advocates to act in concert and to assist one another, and a long discussion was ha 4 on the numerous points of importance which ill arise the course of the revision. 38 not seen a ng to I have ) --- 1141
