We have news from the Plains that Fort Laramie
had fallen into the hands Of the Indians. No par
tculars of the capture are given, but there can be
little doubt to the truthfulness of the report our
previous accounts from that region having stated
that the savsges were assembled around the fort in
great numbers, determined upon making hostile
demonstration. The fate Of the garrison at the fort
may be easily copjcctured. They have undoubtedly
persisted miserably; and the ssanty reinforcement
despatched some time since to their relief, bat
which could not have reached the fort before it's cap
ture, has in all probability shared the same fate, as
the hostile Indians numbered two thousand war.

GOVERNOR REEDER AND Hrs HALF BREED
KANSAS LAND SPECuLArIoNs.-Ou readers will
remember that we have repeatedly charged that
the land speculations of Governor Reeder have
had q great deal to do with the late squatter
troubles in the Territory Of Kansas, and that
oil the time he has been held up by the Wash
ington Union as perfect model of democratic
purity and excellence. But the truth is official
ly coming out at last. "a very pretty
quarrel as it stands" between the Com.
missioner of Indian Affairs, Mr.. Manypenny,
and Governor Reeder, is bringing it all out.
ManypenDy arraigns Reeder as soiling his off,
cial robes with his dirty speculations in the
rich lands Of the simple halfbreeds Of Kansas,
who are under the especial care Of Manypenny.
Indeed, this guardian of the said half breeds
pretty broadly insinuates that the Governor
has been taking advantage of their simplicity
to cheat them out Of their property. The CO.
vernon confesses that in certain joint stock ope-
rations with some other federal officers of Kan
sas, including the two Judges, Heaven pre-
serve usD he did buy up several large tracts Of
land from the said half breeds; but he argues
that they are intelligent halfbreeds, can speak
French and English, and can't be cheated
as easily as the Commissioner might suppose.
The upshot Of the whole matter is that the
Governor, Judges and Attorney are required
to make out their defence and lay it before the
government, their retention in or dismissal
from Office depending upon the result. The
Governor has accordingly gone out to Kansas
to hunt up his evidence, and very likely to sell
out his lands for what they will fetch, or to
buy more. We must await the denouemeat.
Such are the Kansas spoilsmen of this glorious
administration. Sent out to execute the laws,
and to see justice administered, they turn to
specializing upon the property Of the poor half
breed Indians, to the monopoiizng Of all the
nice localities they can lay their hands on, and
to such scuryy free soil policy in general as
to bring the armed Missourians into the Terri
tory at the hazard Of a civil war. We shall see
how Mr.. Reeder and Mr.. Pierce viii shuttle out
Of the difficulty.

Know NorHISG OPEN CouScILs-The decree
of the Philadelphia National Know Nothing
Council, opening, to great extent, the subor-
dinate Councils of the Order and their proceed
ings to the public, has already given new i'm
pulse to the party. Their late open sir meet
iDgs in Philadelphia and in this city have fairly
inaugurated this new order of the day. In
Massachusetts, they are about to call an open
State Convention. In other States they will
doubtless, do the same thing. Let not the Or
der in New York fall behind. They hold the
vantage ground, now, over any other party
in the State. Let them prepare to maintain it
by an early State Council, and an open one for
the discussion Of their policy IN our next No
vember canvass. The late Philadelphia Council
has rendered reconstruction Of things neces-
sary in every State in the Union as to the State
action Of the Order in the approaching elec-
tons. Time enough for the Presidency year
hence. Let our New York Know Nothings
proceed, then. to take their souudings and bear
iDgs for November. An early and an open
State Council Is the thing.
