FnWmee war.

The Pawnee War is ended and the last Of our
troops returned on Tuesday last. Notwithstand.
ing the excessive heat and dust they came int
town in fine style; and after passing through
Farnham Street were dismissed in front Of the
Pioneer Block BY Gen. Thayer. He commend
ed them, justly az we are assured, for their
ready obedience to all requirements and the
faithful and pleasant performance of their ar
duous duties. The army consisted Of about 200,
part mounted and part on foot. Notwithstand-
ing the Indians had about 80 miles the start,
the army overlook them about It's miles out,
and coming upon them entirely by surprise
brought them to terms at once. The Indians
gave no chance Of even . skirmish, but throw
ing down their weapons, said the whites could
kill them if they saw fit, but they would not
fight. They consented that all damages should
be retained from their next payment, and gave
up the riDgleaders in the previous depredations.
Three OF these attempting to escape were shot.
The Indians numbered some 800 warriors and
it was no small degree of courage for two hun
dred men, after marching two miles to the
enemy's one, for It's miles during the heat Of
July, to charge on an army Of savages four
times their number. The savages first fed in
wild dismay, throwing down traps, papooses,
&C., all along their path. Seeing escape impos-
sible they submitted abiectly and sued for par
00n. we almost regret the Indians submitted
80 quietly, our troops were we'll armed and de-
tsrmined to infics summary vengeance. The
assaults upon the whites have been Of the most
aggravated character. and the Indians richly
deserved at least one volley from Rifles and
Cannon, but their ready submission afforded no
pretext to fight them. This campaign has
proved beyond doubt that in any emergency
tina can arise by reason Of Indian depreciation,
we have sufficient volunteers willing aud able
to give due protection even to the back settle
ments and General to command them who is
ready for the music. All the volunteers agree
in speaking Of Gen. ThAyer in terms Of highest
praise, both for his gentlemanly bearing and his
skill and promptness in every emergency. May
we never have like occasion for military SER
vices, but il we do, may we always have one az
prompt and skilled as our worthy General to
command.-Nebraska Republican.

The Fairfield Ledger very pertinently ask
the following questions:

4~SSssV~Aes
l. Can any Democrat point to State in the
Union under democratic control, Of equal pop
ulation with Iowa, wherein the State Govern.
ment is carried on for as small an amount oil
money IS it is in this Statep
2. Can any Democrat point to single State in
the Union, under d mocratc control, where the
aggregate amount Of State tax is being reduced!
as ia the case in this State, Notwithstanding the
reduction in the amount Of the county assess
ment.
8. Can any Democrat explain why the average
Of the State tax levied while his party controlled
the affairs OF this State amounted to ever two
mills on tie dollar, while the average since that
time has been only about one and half mills
on the dollar!
4. Can any Democrat explain why his party
in 1851 levied tax of three mills on the dollar,
while the Republicans, with all the charges OF

mum for his own services, is likely to inaugurate
an era Of economy?
