The Com Of Indian Affairs, Mr. Dale,
has returned from his visit to the Indian
tribes in Kansas and Nebraska He was
received by them with gladness. They
sought every opportunity to express to
him their friendliness to the United States.
He conversed with the Kansas officers
who took part in the battle Of Springfield,
and who stated that no separate Indian
forces we're with the rebels on that occa-
sion, and that comparatively few of the half
breeds only were in the ranks of the enc
my The efforts of the rebels to array
the Indians against the federal Govern
ment, so far as the Commissioner could
learn, was attended only with partial sue
cess. The Indians as class are disposed to
be friendly, but those who are in hostility
have been coerced to this course by the
rebels No doubt is entertained that it
would require no persuasion to raise a
large Indian force in Kansas and Nebras-
ka TO operate against those who may be
brought into the field by the rebels.

BAD BREAp.-In our noticeof Camp
Rankin yesterday, the complaints about
bad bread were mentioned. Since then
we have been assured on good author
ity-authority that we do not doubt-that
the bread in question was precisely of the
same kind, and made in the same way and
at the same time with that furnished to
our citizens, and that it did not contain
particle of potash, nor any other mineral
substance except such as is deemed neces-
sary to make good and healthy bread. -
When our citizens are informed that T..
Raplee furnishes bread for Camp, RAM
kin they will know how much weight to
attach to complaints against his bread.
IF bread a. bad as that said to be fur
nished to the company in question is al
lowed to pass, the obvious enquiry is
Nv here are the officers, and why are they
not doing their duty" Complaints about
bad food are really complaints against off
GERS. And in town like this, if un
wholesome food is allowed to pass, the off
GERS are inexcusably inefficient.

washington, Oct. {
The Commissioner of Indian Affairs re-
turned to the city this morning after =
brief visit to the Indian country. He Wis
tied several Of the tribes north Of the
Usage, and held many counsels with them.
He found them all loyal, eyincing strong
attachment to the Federal Government
Ii appears only three tribes, which are in
accessible and leyond reach of the Gso1S-
eminent, are disloyal. He Is of the opin-
ion that troops ought to be despatched
immediately to the Indian country to re-
claim them.
A gentleman who arrived from Fort
Monroe this evening, says the Merrimac
having been put i'll order after being rails

Harbor late yesterday p. M, and came

said to be full complement of men on
board, and she is evidently ready for ser.
vice aud making trial trip. she will

Information has been received here that
that about three weeks ago slave in
surrection was attempted in Jasper Co.,
that about thirtyfte of the negroes
were killed and number of others were

that il was not only a place of interest to
the children, but to them also.
The exercises were an opening address
written for the occasion, spoken by Master
Lomax a piece Of poetry, spoken by Mas

Ogden; then piece by nine girls and a
teacher, which was followed by an address
by Rev. Chas Williams.
We were highly pleased by the exer-
cises, and feel that no one could have at
tended and heard the addresses, both by
the children and others, and the delight
full singing, without feeling that Sunday
schools SO well sustained are great bless
ing to our city.
The address by Master Lomax was
well adapted to the occasion, and was well
spoken but the piece of greatest interest
was that by nine young girls, each OF
whom personated character, as Virtue,
Hope, Faith, Charity, Humility, Purity,
Fidelity, Beneyolence aud Immortality,

who personated the character Of Love as

At the close Of this piece the whole class
sung most beautiful hymn, entitled
.see Love presiding o'er our school"

about 10000 troops in Richmond The

has been removed from the steamer James
town. The prisoners did no. see the
