"HENRY WILSON,

The following description of the kind OF
men who made The Kansas lrouble,i is as good
as we have seen anywhere. The idea is not
a, all new, for it has been constantly repeated
by the Democratic press, but never in clear
er or more marked language. And yet this
is the tardy confession of an able aud leading
Fremont paper, the Providence Journal All
the more respectful opposition journals of The
country are beginning to feel that they must
now own up TO the truth, which can no lon
ger be concealed, and hence such confessions
as The following. After describing how kan-
sas might have been pcaceaOly settled, the
editor adds:
"But this peaceful proceeding would moi
have met the American requirement for ex-
element; SO men from the south, who had
never owned a negro, and never had money
enough at any one time 10 pay for negro's
suit of summer clolhing, marched 10 Kansas
to vindics,e the il teresls and honor of the in.
sttutions Vi the south; and men from the
north, W ho xsud have been quite as slikely
TO Join Walker in Nicaragua, or shipped on
board some Portuguese SLAYER, started, on !ae
other hand, and upheld freedom. And there
they meet, apd fight, aud speculate, and when
the country is really settled, and quielness and
order succeed the disturbance and trials of
pioneer life, half of them will find the place
too dull, and will seek some new field of OK
element, where danger and turmoil and con.
ten,ion will pay for existence and take from
life lis enum." ..

Cg We regret 10 have 10 announce the
suspension of the firms of Reeves, Buck s.
Co., and Reeves, Abbott s. Co, mauuiactu-
rers Of railroad iron, which took place yes
terday, in consequences of their. inability TO
realize the necessary means 10 meet their en-
gasemenls. These firms suspended payment
three years ago, and oblained an extension
from their creditors upon favorable exhibit
of taeir. assets, every dollar of which, princi-
pol and interest, as we are assured, was paid
promptly at maturity, They were in a fair
way 10 recover themselves, and TO continue
in operation their extensive works, which
employ over Two thousand workmen, when
the panic in railroad securities, and the con-
vulson in the money market, cut short their
orders for rails, upon the sales OF which they
relied for means to meet their current en-
gagemenls. They are represented to have
made large profits in the last two years, and
we are assured have raw materials enough,
when worked into shape, 10 pay all their in-
debtedness, and real estate in addition, at
fair valuation, for double the amount, all oil
which can be made available upon the return
of confidence, aud renewal of the demand
ior railroad iron. Finding it impossible in
The present condition Of things TO procure
funds to pay their notes, even at enormous
sacrifices which they have made, they have
been compelled TO suspend for the present.
IL is 10 be hoped that this suspension may be
only temporary, and that the extensive works
operated by these firms, so imporiantio the
general community, may continue in opera

INDIAN HOsTILITIEs on THE PLAISs.-The St.
Louis Republican of Tuesday last has late and
interesting news from the plains to the effect that
an engrant train had been attac ked and DESTROYED
by the Cheyenne Indians, about eighty miles west
OF Fort Riley. twill be recollected that Colonel
Sumner some four weeks since left for Fort Leav-
enworth with six companies of cavalry and two
companies OF infantry, for the purpose of making
wa upon the Cheyennes. He divided his force
sending one portion up the Arkansas, under the
command of Major Sedgwick. and leading the
other himself up the Platte. 1t would seem that
the Indians slipped down between these two COL
nmnS, and commenced numbering and robbing
in the rear. The Cheyennes are among the bold
est and most warlike Indians on the western
praries and, If once fairly aroused, will be diff
cult 10 subdne. They number about one hundred
warriors, and will doubtless be joined by many
young Sioux braves, with whom they are CLOSELY
connected. The attack on the train was a very
vigorous one. The party with the train consisted
OF ten men, eight women and ten children of
whom three MEMS. ID. Weaver, NJ. Lewis and
Sam. Smith--and a woman were killed and sew
eral others wounded. The United States troops
were in hot pursuit Of the Indians at the last ac
counts.

AN INFAMOUS DEED.-An old bag, by the name
OF "Mother DOlsen,' convicted i'm the eli remit

FOR prostitution. The Free Press in noticing the
trial, gives publicity to circumstance connecte d
with this petticOated devil, which, through a le-
gal technicality, was not allowed as evidence 1t
is as follows:
A young girl, of the age of nineteen, a very
pretty and interesting person, came to this city
some three or four months ago from the country,
and applied at McClatchey's intelligence Office.
on Jefferson avenue, for situation. She was
given to understand that she could have one the
following day, and accordingly called when she
was taken charge of by a gentleman who was
waiting, who placed her in a carriage and or
dered the driver to drive on. He explained To
her that he was taking her to a very nice place
where she would have nothing to do but wait on
an Old lady, and get two dollars a week for il.
She was much pleased at the prospect expressing
nsf satisfaction. The carriage drew up in front
OF " Mother Dolsen's, !" and she was taken in of
course, entirely Ignorant of the character Of the
nous she was entering; and, after a bargain i'm
regard TO her duties and wages, was given a very
Nee supper and put to bed 500 ,
Her statement is that she locked her door and

OF the ride In the cold air, prevailed ON her to

increase in the quantity of land sown to wheat
throughout East Tennessee than ever before.
That sown On the high land mountains, &c. J
