TERRIBLE INDIAN FIGHT.

We learn from Mr.. Davidson, Of Indian
ola, that a painful rumor was brought TO
that place on Saturday last. by returned
Pixies Peaker. of severe Indian fight,
some three weeks since, on the Solomon,
about one hundred miles above Fort Riley,
in which about $50 PoIawatomies and Del
awares were killed. The informant says he
passed directly through the scene of the
fgh:-that the dead were all scalped. and
supposed the other party to have been Chey-
ennes, Arrapahoes. de-, who were known
to have been in that vicinity at that time
The murdered Indians are supposed to be a
party of some three or four hundred Pota-
watomies. Half Breeds and Delawares, that
went from this vicinity short time previ-
GUS to the rumored battle. for the purpose
of hunting buffalo. Among them were
Messrs. L'Flumbeau Beaubien, Ogee, OAR
ling, and several other prominent Indians,
well known in this vicinity. who accompa-
MED the expedition for the sake Of the ex-
element and pleasure which it promised.
Mr. Davidson himself had very narrow
escape from the hostile Indians, being with
another party hunting buffalo, and on the
day OF the rumored fight were only fifteen
miles distant, on the identical spot. on Salt

KANSAS PAPERs.-The general business
stagnation throughout the Territory has
had its effect on newspaper printing as well
as selling Dry Goods. Within the
past few weeks the following Kansas News
papers have suspended either permanently.
or temporarily. hoping to be able to come
up again when times get better. Post, Don
iphan; Dispatch, Iowa Point; Esypress, Man
haitian; Chief, Paola; Herald. Mound City /;
Gazette, Grasshopper Falls. Several 9th
ers are in sinking condition. and will un-
doubtedly be obliged to suspend before long
until better times. Even our friends of the
Topeka Record are so hard pushed that they
have issued but half sheet each week for
many weeks past.
There have also been some changes in
politics and proprietorship, which We have
not heretofore noticed. Mr.. Gill has retr
ed from the Leaxenworth Herald, leaving
Mr.. Fain at the head, who has taken down
the Douglas flag. and goes for Brecken
ridge. Mr.. Hinton, of the Dispatch. has
given plaes.t to ,Mg~ j. A. Green. who also
takes down Dug's name and goes for Breck.
The Atchison Union has changed hands,
Mr. g. O. Chase, who started the enter-.
prise. having sold out to Messrs. Adams
and Stebbins. As with the Leavenworth
Democratic organs, SO with the Atchison
Union. Down goes Douglas; and hereaf
ter the Union goes for Breckenridge.
There have been too many newspapers
published in Kansas-more than the pcpu-
lation could be reasonably expected to sup
port. Many of Them have been bo.stered
up for time by local and speculative in
terest; but this soon failed, and then of
course the paper must fail. Soma of those
whose publication has Recently been stopped
were worthy of a living support and were
published in neighborhoods allie to support
them. We are sorry 10 lose such from the
ranks; and hope tess abis-to chronicle their
quick return.

THE OFFICE OF COUNTY SUPERTN-
TEKDENT.
LETTER FROM Mr.. cRAHDALL.
FnruoEr. Aug. s, 1860.

FREMONT, Aug. 6, 1860.
MR. EDlroR: I was at the meeting of the
County COMMISSIONERS the 6rst of Nay
last. and they pronounced the Office of
County Superintendent of Common Schools
abolished by the action of the last Legisia-
ture and not having seen the law. and sup
posing it was go. have calculated myself
ez Supt., and consequently have done moth
ing in that line since. 1t seems that other
have thought themselves in
the Same ..fx. = and written TO Secretary
Beebe. who.h has pronounced the Office, both
Territorial and County. in full force and
effect. l write this SO that the officers of
school districts already organized may I'M
dersiand the matter, and send in their re-
ports before the first of October; aad would
urge in this connection the necessity and
importance of communities that have not
been set into districts to be at once set off
and organize under the school law, and be
ready for active operations in the winter.--
Private schools are much better than none,
but as far as my experience goes, parents
and the community generally do not take
that interest. and there can never be that
familiarity between parents and teacher. and
even scholar and teacher. in private as in
public schools besides, we have no syste-
matte meihodsof inspection or ascertaining
the qualifications of those proposing TO
teach I would also suggest to the teachers
of the county the propriety of holding a
teachers association at some point in the
county during the fall.
Respectfully. LIE Roy CRANDALL,
County Superintendent.
