The Indfan War.
We cut the following from the St. Louis
I,&o

Fort LARAMIE, Sept. IT.
DEAR FRIEND:-Our quiet prairie home
has been thrown into a state of considerable
excitement by the arrival of Gen. Harvey
and a. -v.uu.sllu IN our ..A:a-4. rue Jien
arrived yesterday, having been twenty-fom
hours in getting here from Fort Kearnev
He stopped six days to throw up small sod
fort at Ash Hollow, for a company of infan-
try, thereby losing six days, and leaving
seventy men, without any prospect of an
adequate return for such losses, for a single
company of infantry at that point affords no
protection to the road whatever.
The ball is now open, and the country is
embarked in one Of the most extensive In
dian wars that it has had on its hands for
this many day. Its cost must far exceed
That OF the Florida war, as the land trans
portatlon is enormOus-corn six dollars per
bushel, and other things in proportion. The
partial blow which the troops struck in the
vicinity Of Ash Hollow, instead of intimi-
dating the Indians, has had the contrary
effect. The whole Sioux Nation is appa-
rently aroused, and the warriors are on the
war path in every direction. Three days
after the fight, three men were attacked on
the road forty miles above Ash Hollow, and
one of them SO severely wounded that he
will in all probability die. Yesterday morn
ing, just before Gen. Harvey arrived, seven
Indians stampeded the Government animals
within three-quarters of mile of the Fort,
and carried off fifty mules and horses. They
were pursued, but of course, with their fresh
animals, escaped. To-day, two express men
from Fort Pierre, came in on foot. having
been attacked and robbed of all their ami
mails on Raw Hill Creek, some "a miles fro
this Fort. This will show you what sport
we are having in this part of the country.
Indians can now be added to buffalo, elk. an
telope, &c, and be shot at first sight
Gen. Harvey having got into this war,
appears determined to try his hand over on
the Cheyenne, amongst the Minnecougas,
who are said to be hostile. His force is
sufficient to 60 through the country, but the
season is so late Re can do nothing but break
down his command and eat up his horses
and mules. Let one of our snow storms
catch his command in that part of the coun-
try, and you would hear of such suffering
and death as would make your blood run
cold. His mounted force will all be dis
mounted by next spring. So Uncle Sam
might as well commence Smelling out the
money for a re-mount. u
have written you much longer letter
than l intended to do at first, but I had so
many things to tell, that 1 could not com-
press it more. will write you again should
anything of Importance arise in the war be-
fore Us, which, presume, will be the case,
for this toray Git can be called nothing else, J
Of Uncle Sans men in the Sioux country,
is but the prelude to more extensive opera
tons and more bloody work.
All Of us traders have been ordered to
abandon our houses, and go into the Fort
Our trade is killed, and unless Uncle Sam
allows us something handsome for damages,
we are ruined.
Your friend, x.

The Crimea 3 Gold Coun,ry.
DIR. F. Maynard's "From Paris to Seb'

DR.. F. Maynard's "From Paris to Sebas-
topol," has the following:
eff England and France were to take pos
session of the whole Crimea, and without
keeping up an army Of occupation at q vast
tablishing her power, they have only to de-
clare that benceforth the Crimea should be
an independent state, self-governed; and to
attract thither, in less than a year, as many
millions of inhabitants as could be lodged on
the soil, 1t would be sufficient for them to
declare the ports, and to plant on the Tcha-
tlr Dagh banner inviting the gold seekers
OF every nation to come and search its Sides
In the rocks of the Tchatir, the Dimirdgi,
Sinab and Aluchia, there is enough to pay
the expenses of war if it lasted a century,
Perhaps my readers may feel establishment
at my making such an assertion. They would
be less astonished if they knew the authori-
ties on which l rely. l do not merely appeal
to geographical documents and the history of
past times to prove infallibly that the gold
mines Of the mines of the Tchatir Dagh ex-
list, and have been worked; also invoke the
testimony of those who de risu de manu-, have
seen and touched veins of gold more abund-
ant, thousand fold riches than those of the
Tral and all the known mines. 1t suited the
policy of the Cars to leave these mines UNI
touched, and to efface the recollection of them
as far as possible. If they were worked by
free men, that would have attracted from
every corner of Europe multitude of adj
men of enterprising character, on
q single point Of the empire; it would have
been kindling confagration which they
could not have mastered. If, on the other
hand, seris and prisoners were employed as
miners, the Crimea was not like the Ulal; so
remote from Europe that the groans of the
slave martyrs could be smothered, and they
might have escaped the fangs of the 1espot.
The Russian Government, consequently, pro-
claims the auriferous strata of these noun
tains, which evidently attach the Alps to the
Caucasus, to be fabulous. The Crimea with
N ten years, will become the Ell Dorado of
the Old World"

THE WESTERN MAN.-Mrs E. X. Smith,
likes the people of the great West. She
says in the Rhode Island Schoolmaster:
The western man has none of the vices
Of thrift. He carries on operations on so
vast scale that he casts out pettiness and
meanness wherever he goes. He does not
higgle and barter in bargain. He measures
by distinct miles, not feet. He counts money
by tie dollar, not by pence. He buys dress
for his wife and gets few yards extra. His
own coat and his shoes are all too large. and
his hat slOuches for the same reason. 1t is
as if imagination of the man was akin to the
vastness Of the rivers and prairies of the
region--the soul gets quite outside of the
body. He must have elbow room-he must
Observation-Disclosures his house is large the
