OR The Kansas Legislature adjourned on
the 3Oth of August, after having adopted the
code Of laws ofthe State of Missouri where not
locally inapphcable or inconsistent with the
laws of Kansas already passed The pro-slavery
convention nominated Gen. Whitfield for Con-
gress. So ends this miserable farce in Kansas.
When will our country be disgraced by such
another?-[ Eu@s0iUe Eng.
Disgraced, did you say, brother Hall? You
will have Frank Pierce about your ears if you
talk that way. All! you penned that before
you had read Governor Shannon's speech to
the Missourians, in which he expresses the
views of the Administration in regard to "this
miserable farce in Kansas" The President ap-
proves OF, and, sanctions this Farce" by which
our country has been disgraced, and the En-

State, shouts Hosanna to Douglas who con

who aided in bringing it about and to Frank
Pierce who approves of it. Do YOU ash

ST.. LOUIS, Sept. 24.
The following is from the Republican Of this
morning:
killed The LlIians completely roatef, all
their camp eq~iPages and provisions captured.
american loss triRing.
Gen. Harvey has signalized his arrival into
the Sioux country by ore of the most gallant
and complete victories ever obtained over the
Indian enemy. The victory is SO thorough as
to strike terror into the whole of the savage
tribes occupying that extended section of coun-
try. The engagement took place on the Sd
inst, at Sand hills, on the north fork Of the
Platte. The entire force of the U. S. troops
who participated in the engagement, is stated
at four hundred and fifty men.
Maj. Cody was in command of five compa-
MES of infantry; Col Cooke had command of
two companies Of I'd dragons, one company of
infantry mounted, and couple of artillery.
The whole force was under the command of
Gen. Harvey.
The battle commenced early in the morn
ing, and lasted several hours.
Gen. Harvey ordered Col Cookies compa-
MES to place themselves in position some dis
lance in advance of the infantry, so as to come
down with full force upon the>enemy. This
movement was successfully performed about
3 o'clock in the morning. The engagement
was then brought on by the infantry, who at
tackled and drove the Indians in the direction
of Col. Cookies command. They were ready,
and eager for the fray, and commenced a des-
Iperate attack upon the enemy. They soon
routed them, and running fghtfollowed for
some ten miles; at point of rocks portion OF
the Indians are said to have made stand, and
fought with great desperation; but they were
completely routed having 20 or 80 men killed,
and so women and children taken prisoners.
They suffered also the loss Of all their camp
lplunder, a large amount of dried Buff alo meat,
their lodges and so horses. The Indian wo-
men it is said, fought fiIriously. On the part
of Gen. Harney's force five or six were killed,
and as many more wounded. No officers
were among the killed.
The Indians who were concerned in this
battle, were Brule Sioux of Platte, the same
that were concerned in the massacre of Lieut..
Gratton's command near Fort Larimie, and
the murder of the Mail party, and who have
frequently defied the United States to meet
theft in battle
The letters speak of the engagement as a
very gallant and well conducted affair.

OF Why could not good street crossings
have been placed at public corners five years
ago just as well as at this time? Our cross
ings generally would have disgraced country
village. We are glad two good stone cross
ings have been made on Main street, and hope
the work will be continued till Main street is
well crossed throughout BY the way, whose
original idea" is that developed at the Main
and First street crossing? We cannot see the
necessity ofthat big arch, of no possible benefit,
yet interrupting the beautiful grade of the
street, and forcing light vehicles to come to al
most stand still to affect safe passage.
