Official account Of the Capture of
the Indian ITurderegs.

Intelligence was received by the Com
missioner of Indian Affairs yesterday OIL
a highly important character. The Iu-
dian Agent at Fort Laramie writes to the
effect that Red Leaf, Kong Chin and Spot.
ted Tail, the three principals engaged in
the attack upon and Murder of the mail
party in November, 1854, had been deliv,
cred up to him on the 9th ult., and were
turned over to the commandant at Fort
Leavenworth by him, at which place they
were expected TO arrive on the 9th inst,
having been sent thither under escort
These Indians were accompanied by their
women and children and by few friends,
making in all thirteen persons.
Two boys, or quite young men, who
were present during the attack, but who
took no part in it, have not yet been sur
rendered. One of them has been sick for
months past, and is now so feeble as to
prevent his being moved. The other was
on the Little Missouri River, in company
with tho Minneconjons, and had been sent
for, A young Indian, cousin to the lat
ter, had been offered as hostage, but was
not accepted as such, because the chiefs
of the Brule band had pledged themselves
for his surrender as soon as runners could
get to him and return.

Hon, Oscar i. Moore.

We are gralifed 10 hear 1t is tho inten.
ton of our young and talented Represent
aiiye in Congress, to publish an address
TO his constituents Of The 10th Congress
onal district, explanatory OF bis reasons
for the course he has pursued on the
question Of The election Of Speaker for the
House. We have every assurance that
our Representative remains firm and un-
shaken 10 his adherence to the principles
and platform adopted at the Convention
that nominated him, under which he was
riumphantly elected 10 his present posi-.
ton, by a majority OF moro than four
thousand.
Mr.. Moore sustained. and voted on ev.
cry occasion, for l.. D. Campbell for
Speaker, and thinks his claims for that
post ara superior to those of any other
man, no having led Oh the small but gal
liant minority, in opposing the Kansas.
Nebraska bill in the last Congress.
Mr., Moore will DO found on all ocoa.
sions, and particularly on the Kansas
question, opposing by his vote, and by
all his influence, any aggressive meas
ures that may bo urged by the Slave ex.
tension party in Congress-. Its certain.
ly due then TO him, that those of his
friends who felt like oensuring his course
on this question, should suspend their
opinions until they should hear from him.
The contest is a mere personal one, il
not being even contended by tho friends
Of Banks, that he is any more reliable on
The Fleesoi questions, than many who
have hitherto withheld from him their
votes. .--Scioto Gazette.

"Acoounts from Kansas are so con

are Satisfied, however, that there is good
ground ofcomplaint against him. There
seems 10 be no room to doubt that the
late difficulties are largely attributable TO
inconsiderate haste or willful design on
his part. There was no need OF calling
for armed volunteers and for United

There was no need OF issuing an in1am.

preston that the right man is moi in the

como distorted by viewing them through

THE SUGAR CRor. The Alexandra
Democrat, of the 2G'h ulUmo, says:
1t is now absolutely certain that the su
gar crop Of this parish will not amount to
half the usual yield in good seasons -
Many of our planters will not get more
than third, and will be through rolling
operations in a few days The crop is ve-
ry short in the field and the yield is very
poor The weather, too, since operations
commenced, has been most unpropi!ious
warm and wet, producing a second
growth, or sprouting of the eyes, and the
experiment of winrowing, 10 stop this,
has not been successful.

LATER FROM EUROPE,
Arrival Of the Pacific.
New York, Dec. go


The steamship Pacific, from Liverpool,
arrived at o clock this evening, bring
ing dates to Saturday, the 18th inst.
Her news is highly interesting. The
long expected capture Of Kars by the
Russians has at last taken place. No
particulars have been received except
those brought by Gen. Kinety, and anoth'
er officer who escaped from the city in
order TO hasten the advance of Omer
Pasha 10 the relief Of the garrison.
At the time Gen. Williar was about
sending flag of truce, to offer capitu
lation.
Nothing further is known, but it is be
lieved the garrison surrendered, as there
was only weak force of 5000 men to
cut their way through the Ru sian army
Omar Pasha was near Kutai, which the
Russians hold in force.
The only event Of importance that has
transpired in the Crimea, is An attack
made by the Russians on the extremity
Of the French lines. The Russians were
5000 strong, and after an hours fight
Ing, withdrew,
The fight still continued between the
North and South sides Of Sebastopol.
The Austrian army is being reduced to
a peace footing
The Government of Naples publishes
a Convention with the Government of the
United States, defining her rights and
neutrality.
With respect to the prospects Of peace,
we have a mass of contradictory state
ments. lfncgotiations are on foot, they
have not progressed step. It's known
that differences exist in the British Cab
met. Lord Palmerston and Panmure
urge the prosecution of theawar, while
the rest Of the Cabinet, supported by
Napoleon, suggest the Importance of en-
bracing the present opportunity to nego-
tiate for peace. "A

we take back what we said about the e-

From tho Galveston Confederatels a!,F y
Foreign lTovement---A nGerman
Guard OrganiZationW +.

Translated from the Galveston zeitung Aug. 1911
Mr.. EDITOR: You have often observed
that the continued clashing between ne
tiVes and foreigners might easily come to
a general eruption, which would result
disastrcusly to the Germans, unless We
consider in time The provcrb that. ale
who desires peace should prepare for
war"
The Cincinnati April sctnea, and those
al Columbus, have shown that the police
in such cases are not fully sufficient for
our guard or suppr Gssion Of tho mob.
In such cases wo must depend upon our
selves to defend our families and proper.
ty, as is cur duty and right Without
an organization this is impossible. ln the
moment oi attack tits too late toform such
an organization; our duty is to organize
beforehand. therefore submit the fol-
lowing propositions:
lst. To form, in every town where
there is sufficient German population
one or moro guard companies, VINO shall
furnish their arms.
Cd. The uniform must be everywhere
The same, to preserve equality. The uni.
form ls necessary 10 prevent confusion
and to Distinguish our friends.
3. The aims must be everywhere tho
same; and we recommend as the best tho
arms Of the Turner's and revolvers.
4h. A mcnber OF any company shall
be recognized as a member wherever
there may bo such company formed.
All the compOnies in the United Stat,
must be in coHncXion with one chief mr.
leader
9th. The decade system is the most
commendablr, i. e., every ten menbers
to constitute one decade. and make on.
leader, who in case OF n, cessiy, can call
together hisnine comrades. The leaders
then elect their officers. Five decades
would be enough Tor ole company. w.
These proposals ere only sketches,
and are left 10 DO corrected To stir up
the Germans was my only object, and 1
have done 80. Help yourself.
