The statement published BY rs on
Monday, signed by Benjamin F. Wood,
Of Keokuk. Iowa, was sent to US for pub
location by the signer. 1t appeared to
be most extraordinary occurrence, but
We had no opportunity Of cross question.
ing the witness. and published it without
comment The editor Of the Cannelton
Reporter bad an interview with the au-
thor Of the tale. and from the improbable
and contradictory statements made by
him, is fully persuaded there has been
foul play. Il appears that Wood per-
susded Lewis to purchase skif at Port.
land, Ky. to make the passage Of the
Ohio River with him to Cairo. ct . season
when steamers were running without
any danger Of interruption. This would
seem to b most singular freak. and too
improbable TO be credited without some
extraordinary reason for it. The Editor
Of the Reporter says.
This 10 Q strange affair, and We believe
| that there has been foul play. and that the
whole story IL q base fabrication. This fel.
low Wood tells two stories. He said to al
! that the accident occurred near Alton, To
others he said near Leavenworth. He said u
| Us that he held on TO the skiff, and with hi
feet kicked it on shore, to others he said tina
his hallooing aroused . man on shore, wht
came to him in skiff and took mm OF
shore. He said it was very dark when thu
accident occurred, but that Lewis looked a
his watch at twenty minutes after one; tina
they had no light on the ski6, he said; h
had not written to Lewis Father or to Par
son; said he should remain in Cannelton sew
eral days; then that he should leave On tn
Northeraer that night. We asked him VIII,
they did not 60 to st. Louis by railroad
His reply was, they wanted to see the Obi
river. Then he expressed regrets for the &C
cident, and said it was his suggestion to pur
chase the skiff. Woods is q man about Nv
feet ten or eleven inches high, possibly vi
feet, dark complexion, large frame, ant
would weigh one hundred and eighty or tw
hundred pounds. We are confident his stor
10 blind, and that he should be arrested.

INDIAN WAR.-It is now thought that
q war with the powerful Sioux tribe Of
Indians in Minnesota, Nebraska, and d.
cotah is inevitable. Gov. Medary has
notified the citizens Of Minnesota to hold
themselves in readiness to volunteer for
the war against the savages. The con.
duct Of the government officials towards
these Indians has been provocative of hos
tilities. The annual pay ments to these
Indians have been withheld till they
should arrest and give up all marauder,
upon the whites, not only of their own
tribes, but Of those for whom they were
not responsible. Last year they were
kept out Of their pay till they went in
search and brought in some Chippewa
murderers. This year more than 1000
Of their tribe have come to the agency to
receive their annuities many from q
long distance-snd now they are turned
away and payment refused because ,
band Of Yanktons, no way connected
with them. have mastered the whites a
Spirit Lake and stolen their property
They say,
1--WE have made treaty with the Unitet
States which we have not violated, and or
the part of the United States we are promised
annual payments. If they want Inkpaduta
the Yankton murderer comply with tn,
terms Of the treaty, and our young men vii
be glad to 60 on the war-path for the Grea
Father ut Washington"
At the last accounts the Sioux Chief
had sent a party Of braves to capture TIT
Yankton murderers. but large portion
Of the Indians had left without receiving
their anDuities, in . state Of excited feel
ing.

ENGLAND AND THE UNITED STATES
1t is reported from Washington that the
interviews between Gen. Cass and the
British minister, Lord Napier, have been
frequent and protracted Of late, and that
they have led to a harmonious and cor
dial understanding on all the chief points
Of conflict in the foreign policy Of the
two countries. The alarming difficulties
in India have rendered England anxious
to secure cordial understanding with
all the great maratime States, and espe J
cially with this country. She will have
to prepare, perhaps, for one Of the most
strenuous and bloody struggles for en-
pire that she has ever made. If India
be lost, it would be greater blow to
her power and political ascendency than
was the independence Of the thirteen
colonies. 1t is said there is now almost
perfect agreement between the United
States and Great Britain. Their policy
in respect to China, Central America and
Mexico is identical. Lord Napier has
signified to Gen. Herran that New Gre.
NADIA could not expect British sympathy
or support in refusing the reparation de.
manded by the United States for the
massacre Of April, 1856. Gen. Cass has
reciprocatel by assuring Lord Napier
that, although we have no cause Of wal
against China. we desire to see that en-
pire opened to the commerce Of the
world" The Sepoy rebellion in India
will force England to suspend the Chi
nese war, and the defense Of foreign in
terests in the Chinese ports will devolvs
upon the American and French fleets il
the Chinese seas; and England has more
trust and sympathy with American com
nercial policy than with that Of the
French, and if severe struggle should
require all her strength in India, she
will rely upon US as the best protector
Of the general commercial interest of the
world in China.

are agitating plan for admission INTO
the Union as a State. They have at.
tanned q high degree of civilization, are
regular cultivators of the soil. many Of
them large planters and extensive slave
owners; have schools and newspapers,
and have all the habits and accessories
of civilized communities; aad some as
pire to those Of fashionable life. They
have their fundamental Law and legisla-
tive council. and have been permitted to
enact their own laws. They have been
almost an independent nation, under the
tutelage and protection Of the Union.
It is already slave territory de faoto and
under the bred Scott decision. slavery
would be held to be legally and cons,itu-
tionally established by local law. The
formation of this territory into = slave
State, was one Of the compromising con.
siderations promised the South for the
loss Of Kansas by Governor Walker
That the movement will be urged for
ward and supported by the undivided
strength of the South, there is now little
doubt; and the theme of discussion, and
the theater Of excitement. will be trans
ferred ere long from Kansas to the In
dian Nation" and there the South will
be on its own battlefield, with law and
the now settled Constitutional doctrines
on its side, and where it will be sure o
victory. The opposition Of the fret
States will be forced to take an indirec
course and assumed grounds
The interests and progress of the In
dams will be of little moment in the con
test, and the issue to them will be event
ually TO obliterate their power and de
stroy all their peculiar privileges and
rights by the foods Of white emigration
that will flow in upon them. Thei
lands, now the property Of the tribes
would become the property Of the Unitet
States, or Of the State, in which the whit
emigrants would rush in to claim tn
lions share. 1t is proposed to take al
the territory between the boundaries o
Kansas and Texas, extending west Il
the borders Of New Mexico, and embrace
it in the new State. This is to be an im
portant topic in future political discus
sion. 1t is already preached at the South
