Indian Hostilities on the Plains.

In Emigrdnt Train attacked and De-
stroyed-Four Men Killed ard tpo Men
and one Woman Wounded The hli-
ans in rear Of Col. Summers Command
We have Just received a letter from
Fort Riley, which we publish below, in
forming us that an emigrant train had
been attacked and destroyed by the Chey-
enne Indians, about so miles west Of that
post.
il may be recollected that Col. Sumner
left Fort Levenworth some three or four
weeks ago, with six companies of cavalry
and two companies of infantry, for the
purpose of making war upon the Chey-
ennes. He divided his fore, sending one
portion up the Arkansas, under command
of Major Sedgwick, and leading the 9TH
Ell himself up the Platte. 1t would appear
that the Indians have slipped down be-
tween these two columns, and commenc-
ed numbering and robbing in their rear.
The Cheyennes are amongst the bold
est and mos, warlike on our Western pra-
tries, and if once fairly aroused, will be
difficult to subdue. They number about
one thousand warriors, and will doubtless
be Joined by many young Sioux braves,
with whom they are closely connected.
AS there are a great many emigrant:
crossing the plains this season, it is very
much to be feared that we shall soon hear
of other catastrophes similar 10 that de-
scribed below -

Mn. EDlroR:-Our quiet community
has Just been thrown into considerable ex'
element by the news that the Indians
supposed to be the Cheyennes, have at
tackled a small party of emigrants abou
50 miles west of Fort Riley, and killed
four men and wounded two men and one
woman. One Of the survivors, Mr.. A. T.
Weaver, has reached this place ant

An ARray.

The Deso,o Pilot, of the 9TH says that
on last Sunday evening an ARRAY occurred
about a mile below hat place between a
man by the name of Blackwood and another
named Lamb. 1t seems tha, the difficulty,
arose about a disputed claim. W. UNDER
stand hat Lamb under the influence of
liquor, went to the house of the former; a
dispute arose, when threats we're made
aud blows followed. Blackwood struck
Lamb with an IKE, and the latter refu-
sing to leave the premises, was shot by
Blackwood, the ball lodging in the abdo-
men. On Monday morning Blackwood
gave himself up to the civil authorities
Lambs recovery is doubtful.
We understand that there was also a
s,abbing affair in Florence, on the 4th Of
July between a man named Kingsley, and
a blacksmith of tina, place, in which the
former was so severely stabbed, that he
lived only a few minutes. The latter is
now in custody at Omaha. A woman was
the cause of this sad occurrences!

Shin PEasters.

1t will be seen by reference to our COL
umns that Messrs. Cassidy and Test, Ban
kers in this city give notice, that after the
LIST day Of July, they will not receive on
deposit or otherwise, t e notes purporting
10 be issued by the following banks to wit;
Agricultural Bank of Tennessee, Nema-
ha Valley Bank, Nebraska, Merchants
Bank, Macon Georgia, and Bank of Te-
cumseh Michigan. We are glad to see
that this Banking House have taken the
stand upon this question. Neither of the
Banks above named are in good repute,
even in the States and Territory where
they are located. The notes Of these
banks cannot be used by the merchants Of
this city, mechanics cannot pay their
freight bills with them on the lumber
shipped to this ci.y-the notes are not ia
ken IN St. Louis for debts or in payment
for goods-in short these notes in this
community are of little value and may be
regarded as Shin Plasters. If such trash
could be driven out Of circulation we would
have a better currency. They are now
forced upon the community by men whC
borrow them at a very low rate of inter
est and by loaning them at three per cen
per month, are enabled to make a int
profit from q currency which is reall,
worthless Let every banker say he vii
not receive such trash on deposit-thel
the merchant will refuse to take it, an
these Shin Plasters will have to seek an
other locality, and We will have in thei
4 stead gold and silver, or the currenc
A furnished by solvent banks. We hop
= every one will set his face against thl

OtOe City.


We had the pleasure last week of Wis.
iting this place, and from personal obser-
walton, we are prepared to say, as a pub
lie journalist, what we have refused in
regard to many towns in Nebraska.
Otoe city, is a point which unquestiona-
bly, has a fulure-and also many prominent
advantages, known and realized by a few
places only, on the Missouri river. 1t is
situated about eight miles south of Me-
braska city, and is the point formerly so
well known as the Utah and California
Emigrant route of lSi9. Its ancient and
well trcdden wagon roads, has gained it
notoriety both east and west, as a crossing
place on the Missouri river-having ne
superior north or south of the place. The
Nebraska shore is a high commanding
Rock Bluff, for the distance of two miles,
with q levee seemingly formed by nature,
as the outlet of a most beautiful valley
and which is without the least improve
ment, one Of the most convenient, as well
rs the most permanent Of Missouri land
ings, AS you leave the valley from the
levee, west, you will observe a perfect,
gently sloping grade, until you reach a
high, and most as,onishingly beautiful
rolling prairie ever beheld, stretching
away westward, until it is lost to the
vision-and as if nature intended TO make
the valley below, the most enchanting ii
the world, your eye rests upon an abund
ant and luxurian, growth of young timbe'
which is exhilaraiing to the senses, an
gladdens the heart of him who can ap
p~reciate the pleasure of a change fron
the monotonous scenery Of the prairie
and in addition to this, the lavish hand G
nature has added another auxiliary, I
cap the climax in this enchanting sp'
and make it perfect. lnnumerable col
crystal springs--which unite in one clea
sparkling ril, members through Il
deep, dark FORESTS Of this little valley
the levee of the city, and then empties i
10 the ,urbld waters of the Missouri. I'll
valley has no equal that we have seen
Nebraska, for sublime scenery and pi
turesque grandeur-it is all the most a
den, admirer of the romantic and beau
full could wish.
The enterprlsing proprieters, Mess
HALL, DrSsMoRE & Bennett, have e
hibited good taste in locating the Ma
street of the city, through the centre
the valley, which will add much to I
convenience and beauty of the place
The former proprietors of this place, lie
e~n,erprising and energetic than the pre-
ent owners, either overlooked or negle,
ed 10 foster one of the best natural sit
for a city, ever proffered by bountiful Il
ture to the enterprising spirit of man.
Under the management, of its prese
proprietors, we may reasonably expect
this place, what nature and destiny d
signed
Messrs. Sherwood s Bryan, have
tablished a Dry-goods and Grocery Stc
at this place-many new houses are
progress of erection-and finally a Stea
