AN ENCOUNTER WITH ROBBERS. The Bu-
reau of Indian Affairs, says the Nashville
Union and American, c! Nov. Sth, is in re-
ceipt of intelligence from the Chippewa
Agency, under date of October 18th, which
alludes to an attempt made to rob the Super
intendent of Indian Affairs Col. Cullen, on
his way thither to pay over to the tribes the
annuities due them. Col Cullen had in his
possession about $4,000 and was accompa-
MED by Hon. w. w. Kingsbury, and Mr.
Harrington. The outrage occurred at Little
Falls, near the junction of the Mississippi and
Grow Wing Rivers, where Col Cullen and
his company had stopped all night on their
way to the Agency. Mr.. harrington was a
wake guarding the money in the hotel, and
about o'clock at night party of robbers
made an attack upon the hotel. One of their
number fired shot through the window, mar
rowly missing Mr.. Fs head, at the same time
others of the party made rush from the bar
room to the door of the room where the mon
ey was. Mr. +. Immediately drew his pistol.
and kept the banditti at bay until othe" par.
ties arrived when the robbers gave up their
purpose and decamped.
Expecting to be followed by the outlaws,
Immediately on his arrival in the reservatiCn II
Colonel Cullen declared martial law, and one
liquor-seller was put under guard by the sol
diers, while other suspected parties were be.

PEELED to procure pass from the Superinten-
dent. The affairs of the Superintendency are

Saturday, has the following:
A Serious Accident-The team attached
to the meat wagon of Bishop d Co., on enter
ing town on the 7th inst, became frightened
and the driver, Nicholas Dodsworth, in en-
deavoring to avoid collision with wagons
standing on different sides of the street, and
in front of the Union block, turned too acute
an angle and upset his wagon, throwing him
self, f. A. Chalker and John Switzer who
were passengers with him, out upon the
street. The horses, under full speed, went on
with the running gear few rods only be
fore they run against the heavy wagon OF
Messrs. Cove d Co., smashing the meat wa
gon into atoms. At the time of upsetting,
Mr.. Chalker held in his hand double bar
relied shot gun, which, when it struck the
ground. discharged one Of It's barrels; and its
contents entered the lip of Switzer, causing
a serious though not fatal wound lie was
taken to the Orleans Hotel, where he still
lies under the care of Dir. Thomas, who on
the Sth, after further examination of the
wound found it necessary to lay the lip bare
for the purpose of cleansing the wound,
which was filled with cloth, wadding, pow
der and shot The patient is comfortable,
and will recover without being crippled

kind commonly called rotten quartz, but the
hard, white crystalline quartz. few tuns
of such rock as we saw taken out on yester-

gold bearing quartz; and We look, ere long,

Book Lotteries. 1t is true, perhaps,
that they get their books as cheap as they
could buy them at any retail store. But
it is not the books that is the inducement
for seuding-it is the bogus .isaoelry that
they receive as gifts. or as Il bride to in
duce them to send. Some of the unsus-
pecting may imagine that they are getting
real gold as gifts; but ont of the one hun
dred dollsrs worth, or Whereabouts, of
books that have been sent for, not single
article Of pure gold jewelry has been recei-
we'd
In this business 1 have heard of several
professors of religion engaging. Permit
me to say that | would about as soon
play a game of cards for an equal amount
of bogus .ieuelry; and much less crime
is it to play game OF cards for amuse-
ment, as l verify believe.
Is it not high time that our ministers
and professors of religion were speaking
out in relation to this matter!
Mr.. Editor, please correct and publish
the foregoing AS l am not much Of a

ka, Kansas, to procure a postponement OF
the land sales IN that Territory, or to pro-,
vide a loan fund for the squatters, have
had, in company with Mr.. Parrott, the
delegate from Kansas, an interview with
the President who intimated his willing
ness to postpone the sales till October, If
they thought best; but desired them to
call on the Secretary Of Interior. The
latter states that the policy of the coun-
try would be to sell all the public lands
possible, during the present year, for pur-
poses of revenue, but consented to defer
the sales in Kansas till November lst and
18th, when they viii take place. The
Commissioners will leave for New York.
on Friday, for the purpose of securing the
loans needed.

Suicide of"Frank Forester"

HENRY WIN. HERBERT, Of the "CedarS"
New Jersey, the author of many pleasant
contributions to the magazines and cap
ital book upon the game aud field sports
of this country, committed suicide on Mon
day last by shooting himself. Domestic
trouble was the cause. He had married
q second wife some three months since,
and they had quarrelled and parted. He
was the eldest son of the Dean of Man.
chester, England, and allied to the noble
houses of Pembroke and Percy. In 1929
he graduated at Cambridge University,
and two years afterwards came to this,
country for reasons which have never
transpired. No cordial intercourse after
wards except between his father and fam
lily and himself He was fine classical
scholar, aud had great capacity for lit
erary labor. His treatise upon the Horse
in America, is his most elaborate but poor
est work. He relied for bis Information,
to q great extent, upon person who knew
very little about the matter. The source
from which he derived his account of the
Horse in Ohio is a proof of this. The
"Cedars" was bought for Mr.. HERBERT
by his friends in England, and so settled
upon him that it was out of his power to
ALLEVIATE it. He left letter to the Press
of the United States of America, and an.
other to the coroner. The latter appears
to reveal bitter feeling on his part against
his neighbors. - Statesman.

Correspondence of the Missouri Republican,
Banditti IN Kansas.
KICKAPoO. X IT,, Nav ID. 1853.

Dr. Crane arrived here last evening,
directly from the Fort Scott neigh5orhood
and brought terrible accounts of the con-
dition of things there, and thought there
was no probability of their early amend
ment.
The bandits number as many as two
hundred and fifty, although they rarely
mounted men. These are thoroughly
armed with Sharp's rifles, sa5res, and ma
W revolvers, and ride feet horses, select
ed from the best stock of the country
They are reckless desperadoes, who mur-
der and pillage indiscriminately, and have
taken entire possession Of the lands and
personally Of the citizens whom they have
driven away. Montgomery is their Com
mander-in- Chief, and Banc and McNulty
are Captains of bands who are ever on the
alert, and whose proximity spreads ter
ror.
Their whole force is now encamped on
one side of the Maraias Des Signe river,
while Colonel Butler, U. S. A., with one
company of infantry, one Of dragons and
and Sherman's artillery, is upon the other.
They defy the United States forces. and
swear they will never be taken.
Montgomery boasts that he shot Capt.
Anderson, and that his first fire would
have killed him, if his (Auderson's) horse
had not thrown up his head and received
the ball aimed at his masters breast
A battle between Col. Buffers forces
and the bandits was expected hourly when
DR.. Crane left, but the DR.. had to flee the
country at full speed, by valleys and
through bush and woods, to save himself
and horse. He was hotly pursued; but
his horse was fresh and swift, and his ex
perience in Indian skirmishes in Califor.
MIA enabled him to ellude them and tc
reach Missouri in safety A hundred ant
fifty families had been compelled to fly an(
take refuge in Missouri. Capt. Fox, the
Davis and other prominent citizens hat
been driven from Paris and Brooklyn, anc
"the Post" had been evacuated. Within
the distance of FIVE miles, the Doctor pas
sed SO wagons of refugees, and many 9th
ers all along the way escaping to Nilsson
! ri.
, They had left their farms, their house
and property of every kind, and moved
away with oxteams. Their horses hat
E all been stolen; or, as the bandits term il
, impressed. The portion of the countr
thus cursed and scourged is as fair and fer
E tile as any part of Kansas. and the pcopl
desire to improve and cultivate it, but tn
: rob5er bands have ruined it. They ha
: their origin in politics, under the auspiee
| of Lane, to drive out Pro-slarery men
but now they are independent, and mur
der, rob and drive away all conse' rdttc
a Free State men, and allow only those t
a remain who are willing to act with them
e Dr.. Crane is Frees man, but con
S scrvative and patriotic, and condemne
4 their course. and. therefore he Was doom

: Marshal Smith was there with warrant
