The Cause of Freedom Triumphant

1t is with no ordinary feelings of congratula-
ton that we announce the result of the con-
test in this County, which terminated on Tues
day last. The cause of Freedom has been sus-
tanned by the triumphant election of the entire
Republican Ticket. True to their principles.
the indomitable yeomanry of Bradford have
withs TODD an assault, which has no parallel in
political h istory for the energy and unscrupu-
l~ousness with which it was waged-they have
come off more than conquerors against all the
combined interests and isms of the county.
For this glorious result we claim no credit,
except such as should attach to those who
sternly and infexibly adhere to their principles,
and refuse to he led astray by local issues, or
influenced by mercenary and unworthy motives.
Such is the credit due to the Freemen of Brad
ford. We have no time this week to dilate
upon this subject, but we will endeavor in our
next, calmly and carefully to review the whole
ground.
We give below a table of majorities from
every district in the County as between LA
PORTE and PIoLLEr. We believe they are very
nearly correct. The remainder of the Repub-
lican ticket will have a still larger majority.

The Indian War-Battle of Bluewafer.
from the 81. Louis Republican, Sept. ISL

from the St. Louis Republican, Sept. ISL
Yesterday morning we received, by steam
boat, the following letter from our correspon-
dent with the Army of the West,n on the
Plains. 1t was written Immediately after the
battle between Gen. Harvey and the Brule
Sioux Indians.
1t may be some days before we get the par
ticulars of the action, as the commanding Off
Ger will probably wait for the regular mail be-
fore sending in a full report.
CAMP ON BLUE WATER RIVER,
E f#Ff ans September 4, 1856. y s.
DEAR SIR An express leaves us in a few
minutes for the States, and / drop you a few
lines by it to let you know that Gen. Harvey
had a fight yesterday morning with one of the
principal bands of the Brules under Little Thun-
der, and very nearly, if not quite, rubbed" it
ont. ar-.
7 The Indians were encamped on the Blue Wa
ter River, a beautiful sream which rises in the
sand buttes to the north of the Platte, and mp
ties into the Platte three miles above Ash Hol-
low. The Indians were discovered as w came
in camp at Ash Hollow, on the evening of the
I'd, and Gen. Harvey at once determined to
attack them. ..- tnat
Accordingly, the mounted force, under Col.
Cooke, turned their position before daylight
next morning, while at daybreak Major Cady,
with a battalion of the 9th Infantry attacked
the front. ., -.
The Infantry commenced the action, and as
the Indians retreated they all at once found
themselves upon the Dragons, who suddenly
debouching from their ambuscade, charged the
Indians with sabre and revolver, and what be-
tween the Troopers, the Infantry and the In
dams, there was soon as fine a specimen of a
free fight as one could wish to see. The fight
and chase lasted some three hours, at the end
OF which time there were no Indians to be seen
except the prisoners, and the dead bodies piled
up in all directions.
The Indians lost about eighty-fve in killed,
including their chief, Little Thunder, and be-
tween sixty and seventy prisoners (women and
chlldren) ; they also captured a number of hor-
ses and mules-to say nothing of wagon-loads
of new lodges, buffalo meat, and Indian fxins
in general.
We lost four killed, four severely and four
slightly wounded. Two of the wounded will not
likely recover, as the arrows which struck them
penetrated their lungs.
Our camp is now at the mouth of the Blue
Water, where We shall remain a few DAYS. un-
til a small work can be thrown up'at Ash Hol-
low, which will be garrisoned by one company,
for the protection of the road.
In the Indian camp, many papers and arti-
cles were found which had been taken from the
mail party.

A PuGILIsr SENT TO THE PEN1rENrrARY.-Or.
vile, alias Awful Gardner, a third rate pugil-
list, was tried yesterday in the Special Sessions
before Judge Stuart, for assault and battery
on the person of Mr.. Henry, of Utica, and SEN
fenced to the Penitentiary for six months
Mr.. Henry, it appears, came to this city, en-
route for California, and was about to purchase
a ticket for passage when he met Gardner,
who, it seems, was a !" runner" On refusing
to buy a ticket Of him, Gardner, in accordance
with his brutal propensities, struck Henry a
blow in the face, and fractured his jaw. The
charge was clearly proven, and Judge Stuart
awarded the offender his we'll merited deserts.
