western Eews--Indian Troubles
Five thousand Indian Warriors in
kansas--RepOrted Fighting.
ST. LOUIS, August II


special dispatch from Kansas City con-
tains alarming intelligence. About 5000 In
dian warriors of the Kaw. Usage and Ca
manche tribes. have recently removed from
the Little Arkansas to Butler and Greenwood
counties, Kansas Territory, and have been
collecting for sometime for the purpose of
driving back the settlers from the frontier.
The intention is by some supposed to be re-
venge for the hanging of two kaw Indians
at Council Grove some weeks since, but this
seems hardly plausible, as the point of attack
is some seventy miles distant. This, however,
may he plea to decoy the men away from
the Grove, SO the place may fall an easy
prey Certain it is, that the people of that
place have for some time anticipated an at
tack. On the morning of the llth messen-
ger arrived at Emporia With information that
an engagement had taken place between the
Indians and whites near the town of Edorado,
in which one hundred Indians and five whites
were killed. The same day another messen-
ger arrived from Chelsea, fifteen miles further
up the Whitewater river. bringing a note
from \. ID. Storrs, stating that the town was
surrounded by Indians. and that the settlers
were momentarily expecting an attack, and
asking for assistance. A company OF fifty
left Emporia that evening. expecting to
march to Chelsea, fifty miles distant, the next
morning.

The Position OF Hon. Thomas Cor
win.

We observe that the speech of this distin-
guished statesman, delivered, few days ago,
To his constituents in Xenia, has been the
subject of considerable comment. A report
appeared in one of our city contemporaries
which did not correctly state his position,
and large number of presses in different
portions of the country have. unintentional-
ly, no doubt, given currency TO opinions inn
properly attributed TO him. Mr.. Corwin. in
his late speech in Xenia, confined himself. in
the main, to the discussion of two political
points:
l. The power of Congress over slavery in
the Territories. he contended that Congress
Is endowed with absolute Jurisdiction OF the
Territories of the general government and
that they have no legal right 10 establish or
prohibit slavery. Sqaatter sovereignty be
regards a "A heresy, and one OF the most vi
tai chara tier. He said that nearly all the
Presidents, from the early constitutional
history of the country down To the times of
Polk. had admitted the power oil Congress
over the Territories. No doctrine had ever
been more clearly enunciale9 or more uni
formly reduced TO practice.
2 The Fugitive Slave Law Ii has been
declared constitutional by the highest judi
cial authorities. and is ne iaie Of he land The
question is not whether il conforms ia every
respect TO our individual preferences. Ii Is
based, like the power OF Congress over the
Territories, upon the Constitution itse II.
Since 1898. the government has not been
without law providing tor the surrender Of
the fugitive IRON service. As both powers
are originally derived from The same high
souree--the Cnnstitution--sO the decisions IN
both cases have been contemporaneous and
uniform.
Mr.. Corwin delivered il the duty of every
good citizen to support the LAWS upon the
statute book. lie said that, in Congress. he
should {, el bound TO support law requiring
the surrender Of fugitive slaves. He oe-
lieyed be could In no other way meet the
plain requirements Of the Constitution.
Shoald biz constituents positively instruct
him 10 pursue different course, be might
consider IL his duty to resign
The subject OF the admission of new States
into the Union was Rot discussed by Ar.
Corwin al all at Xenia. fiis opinions upon
The matter have b-ea gwen u good while
since, and will b. morc tally presented npon
some occasion during the approaching cam
paign.
His views In regard 10 the power OF Con-
gress over the Territories are those which be
bias entertained for forty year,, aud which,
duiiag half that period be has pressed npon

TIE TRADE WITH UTAu.-The trade from
and through Los Angeles, says the Vineyard,
of the lth inst, to Utah. is rapidly on the
increase. This is caused partially by the
growing ability of the inhabitants of Utah to
purchase greater amount of goods, thus
bringing new men into this trado, who are
forwarding goods from different points The
principal cause, However of the great in
crease of trade through our city, is owing to
the fact that it is becoming known by men
engaged in introducing goods into Utah, that
goods can be taken over this route with less
expense, and with less risk and in less time,
than over any other route.
Since the lst of January there have left
this city about sixty wagons loaded with
goods for that market The value of these
goods is from 100000 to $4,000. Each wa
gon load weighing about 1000 pounds Of
one train of twenty-five wagons. which left
last month, five wagons with their loads. be.
longed to the firm of Buchanan d Co.. of this
city.
There is now in this place, or on the wav
here, not less than one hundred tons of goods:
in transit to Utah. The transportation of
these goods will employ not far from one
hundred six mule teams and wagons. The
parties engaged in this trade are numerous /;
some of the principal ones are Loud & Hos
mer, Sloan, H. Lawrence, of San Francisco,
and Gilbert d Gerrish, of Salt Lake.

THE Pacific GUASo TRADE-JARvrs IsLA.

THE Pacific GUANo TRADE-JARvIs ISLAND.
The Honolulu Commercial Advertiser, un.
der date of 10th January, says:
The most interesting news brought bv the
mail is that relating to the Jarvis Island GU
ano matters. The clipper ship White Swal-
low (Which vessel touched at Honolulu last
July, under charter to S. G. Wilder) had
arrived at New York in eighty. two days
passage from Jarvis Island, with 200 tons
guano. Mr.. Wilder, who owned the cargo.
sold out his interest for Sl0,0 900 cash, and the
parties who purchased re-sold the cargo for
S38 per ton, or about $4,000, the vessel
having baen chartered at $l7 per ton and it
was being jobbed out at $40 to $50 per ton
of 2,240 lbs. This was the first large cargo
that had arrived at New York. The Ameri
can Guauo Company had entered into con
tract, and sold to a responsible firm in New
York, comprising William II. Webb, the
well-known ship-bulder Com. Vanderbilt
and others. 100000 tons of this guano. to
be delivered at the island, and to be paid for
as delivered. The ships of the contractors
are to have precedence over all others in
loading guano. The Company have on the
way out from New York eleven large new
can buoys, with anchors and chains for moor
ing, together with railway materials and cars;
and they will, in the course of few months,
be able to load ten vessels at once with the
same ease with which they can now ship off
sixty tons a day,
The guano trade will add to the commerce
Of Honolulu Most of the vessels chartered
to load will be obtained at San Francisco, and
they will touch here to procure supplies, la
borers, DO. One or two ships have already
been chartered at San Francisco for Jarvis
Island, under the above contract. 1t is stat
ed that Capt Turner, who visited Jarvis Is
land, has sold out his interest in the Ameri-
can Guano Company for $l20,0o0-a high
figure, if correct.
The schooner E. l.. Frost sailed on 10th
January on a secret expedition, said to be on
visit to Casper Rico Island, supposed to be
guano island. in about lat. 10 deg. n, and
near the meridian, or about 1900 miles west
of this port. She will be absent about six or
eight weeks 1t is reported also that the
San Diego will leave Honolulu on the same
errand on the 10th or goth January.

Accessory to the Murder OF ThOs. J. Ri

Charles Brady, to whom was given the
knife belonging to Smith, the murderer of r.
J. Rice, at Michigan Bar, and by which (hav
ing been subsequently obtained by Smith
the homicide was committed, was brought to
the city yesterday by Constable Ward, and
placed on the Prison Brig, on a commitment
issued by Justice Swinney of Michigan Bar
as accessory to the murder. 1t seems that
on Tuesday, many of the residents of the Bar
being dissatisfied with the previous investi
cations, Allen j. Cope filed before the Justice
a complaint charging Brady with being ac-
cessory to the murder, whereupon the defend.
ant was arrested, an examination held and
the defendant committed, as above stated.
Defendant waived his right to counsel at the
commencement Of the examination, but, af-
ter one witness was sworn, announced himself
ready for examination, and selected John
Rooney as his counsel. w. A. Carswell was
appointed by the Court to take the testimo-
ny in writing. There were five witnesses
examined on the part of the people, and two
on behalf of the defendant. The defendant
being apprised of his right to make state
ment of the facts and circumstances, the same
was taken down in writing and signed by
him. The following is nearly literal trans.
cript of his said stat sment: "My name is
