The Charleston Courier, in recent

lugubrious strain: eve should prepare
for defeat. In the confidence of our might
and courage, this admonition is unnecessa-
ray, and, in calling to mind the disgraceful
behavior of our enemies in recent battles,
it may strike us as ridiculous. But it is a
needful and wholesome caution, and we
urge it with sincerity and earnestness. =
Our enemies are mastering in lare num-
bers; they are armed with the best weap-
ons; they have been under the instruction
of competent officers, and each body is
strengthened by the presence of old United
States Regulars. Some of their Generals
have abilities and resources. And, in ad-
dition to all these considerations, battles
are not always decided BY strategy, or even
courage. A single mischance may turn
the tide of success. A circumstance, in
itself insignificant may snatch victory from
an army at the moment it is about to grasp

Startling News from Southern Innsas-
settlers KILLED by Rebel aud Indian In
Vaders.
From the Leavenworth Conservative 9Th
Mr.. Avery II. Spencer arrived here last
evening, from Allen county, in this state. lie
left Allen county on Tuesday, for the purpose
Of procuring assistance for the settlers on
the neutral Indian lands, in Southern Kansas,
who are being driven out and murdered by
band of some five hundred secesSonists and
Cherokees, under the command of one John
Matthews, formerly a trader among the Usage
Indians.
Mr. Spencer informs us that this Matthews
has driven the settlers of the neutral lands,
and also OIL a strip OF government land, three
miles wide, below the neutral lands, hanging
and shooting some sixteen of them, besides
taking every thing from them that he possibly
could. Sixty families OF the settlers have
taken refuge in Humboldt, Allen county, and
in Leroy Cotfey county Matthews also took
twenty prisoners at one Time, but through the
influence of Capt. Miller Uf the Cherokee
Nation, they were set at liberty. He made
the threat TO the prisoners that lie would burn
Humboldt and Usage Mission in less than
week. The band also took some forty horses
from the settlers on Lightning Creek. The
band is well armed with rifles and reyolyerS,
and their only object appears TO be plumber.
Matthews is a bankrupt trader. Some time
since, he borrowed money from an old man
named Sage then living on the Neutral Lands,
and to pay Sage tor his money, robbed him OF
thirty head Of horses, and drove him off,
Matthews fist lieutenant is man by the
name of Sam Patton he murdered man in
Arkansas last fall, and made his escape. y
reward of $500 was offered for his arrest, and
he was caught Subsequently he broke Jail
and came to Kansas, and is now first lieuten-
ant of Matthews gang OF cut-throats and
thieves. Matthews endeavOred to get the
Usage Indians TO join his band, but through
the influence Of Father Shoemaker, a Catholic
priest stationed at the Mission, the Osages
refused to have anything 10 do with him.
MIR. Spencer called on Gov. Robinson, to
ascertain ii he could do something to protect
the settlers from Matthews and his gang. The
governor sent him over to Capt. Prince, as he
has not the power or authority to send troops
to their assistance. The people along he Dor.
der OF the neutral lands feel very much alarm
ed, and fear an attack from this rowing band
of desperadoes. Ii thev had arms to defend
themselves they would then feel more secure.
The state has neither arms nor ammunition 10
supply them with. Gov. Robinson has re,
peatediy urged upon the war department the
necessity OF furnishing our people with arms !;
yet no favorable answer has ever been re-
ceived. We trust the government will soon
begin to understand our exposed situation,
and either give US the means for selt-prOteC.
ton, or allow the Kansas regiments, now in
Missouri, to be stationed on the frontier, for
home defense.

FROM THE UPPER POTOMAC.

ADVANCE GUARD OF ARMY OF THE PoroMAc,l
Headquarters of the 18th Reg. y. Y. 5. V.
ARLINGTON MILLS, VA, Monday, Aug II, 1861.
We have at last arrived at the post of honor
and danger. We are in the very front of the
enemy, their pickets and ours see each other
daily but as yet no fight has taken place be-
tween them. Our regiment is eager TO get at
them, and it is with difficulty that the men are
restrained from going into the camp of the en-
envy to have fight. But the orders of Major
Gen. Mcclellan are peremptory, and must be
obeyed and as lie is unwilling to attack for
the present, it is due to this that we have not
attacked the rebels in their entertainments be-
fore now.
The men Of the twenty fifth" are rude.
frank, stern, and brave; they know no human
fear, and fear no earthly danger; they have
but two cares-to live to day and fight to, NOR
row. All in all, they are the bravest the
most generous, the most improvident. the
most daring, the most desperate, the worst and
the best set Of human creatures l have ever
known. In one thing alone they are united
to conquer the enemy or die to man. Never
"NS eiiSAS o"Sii " elAlb bNlOiG Lie ueIu OH
GERS of the regiment are of very polished ex-
terior-kind to the men to an almost incredible
degree-wlile the spirit of war, "death or vic
tory,'' is their absorbing topic of conversation.
That they will lead into the conflict,
Where deaths brief pang is quickest,
And the battles wreck is thickest,
you may rely. The commandant, James L.
Kerrigan, is the very soul and romance of a
brave soldier. His sanguine and nervous
temperament pre-eminenty fits him to lead
the men under his command. He is, in my
opinion, the coolest, the most daring, and the
bravest officer engaged in the present war. He
is very popular with the men, and they expect
bloody work "when he moves in battle''
Our regiment is, as usual, well treated-the
best, perhaps, at the seat of war There is
plenty to eat-in fact much food is wasted
and there is excellent water in our vicinity.
Believe no soldier who writes home about the
suffering endured by our armies on the Poto
mac no sufferings exist.

OHIo.-Many of the leading and influential
citizens of Ohio, of all political parties, have
agreed to call for union state convention,
to be held at Columbus on the.5th of Septem.
Der next. Deeply sensible of the danger now
hanging over the national government, and
impressed with the conviction that they only
can be averted by the united action of the
whole people, in which patriotism shall take
the place of party spirit, they earnestly call
upon all loyal citizens, who are in favor of the
maintenance OF the government, and of the
vigorous and continued prosecution of the war,
to be represented in this convention, and aid
1t by their counsels.
