The Indian Troubles,

Below we publish letter written to the
LeavenwCrth Daily Times, by Hon. S. D.
Houston, Receiver of the Land Office at
Junction City, in the vicinity of the ru-
mored Indian troubles, which we think sets
that matter about right:
EDITOR TINES: l notice that the news
papers appear quite full of stories of Indi-
an hostilities in Western Kansas. And
doubtless many believe them true, and some
have actually left the State on that account.
During the buffalo season, we always
have more or less Indians. They come to
hunt and have a little war with each other.
In this region, which the buffalo regard as
the best portion of the State, they dry their
winters mea', have few skirmis hes with
each olher, and then go home.
| Perhaps an unusual number have been
seen at their usual camps, and fears have
been entertained of their hostile purposes.
The people on the Big Blue, near Marys-
vile, in some way, have been very much
excited; but we think they have been mis-,
| led.
/ The pioneers on the Smoky Hill. Solo.
mon and Saline, as well as on the Repubii-
can, apprehend no danger. They laugh a
the reports, and utterly deny them. 1t is
strange how such stories are believed, and
how they swell as they are reported farther
East.
Perhaps these stories originate in de-
sire and plan to divide the Union forces II
Southwestern Missouri, or it may be in
some political scheme which will soon de.
velop itself. Be this as it may, We hope
other portions of the State will not fear for
US till We, at least, become alarmed. Sound
policy would seem to suggest. that som,
| two or three companies of cavalry should
be placed at Fort Riley. 1t would quie
the fears of the people, and place force 0
the right kind at point from which all the
Western portion of the State could easily b.
nrotected

VIRGINIA AND MISSOURI.

The news from both the Eastern and
Western armies, this week, is very meager.
Except the two or three skirmishes between
Lyon and McCulloeh, nothing of interest
has transpired.
Gen. Mcclellan seems to be strengthening
his line on the Potomac in every possible
manner. The eyes of the country are turned
upon him, now, as having more RESPONSE
bility resting upon his shoulders than any
man in the Union. We do not believe that,
when he makes start, there will be another
Bulls Run scene.
A large army is being concentrated at st.
Louis, under Fremont; and. with the CO.
operation of Lyon. great things are ex-
pected from him. There is nothing of in
terest from Lyon since the skirmish at Dug
Springs. He is understood to have fallen
hack on Springfield. where he has about
q 900 men. A German from the First
Kansas Regiment passed through here a
few days ago, who was in the Dug Springs
fight. He says there were from 100 to 14O
Rebels killed there. This is considerably
larger than the first report. Whether there
is any truth in it or not, we cannot say.
Ben. MeCulloch had $4,000 men, and
from the fact that their commissariat was
in miserable condition. it WAS thought
they would attack Lyon Immediately. Ere
this hard battle has been fought.
Lyon was very confident of success, in
case of an attack, Notwithstanding his force
was only about 5000. A convoy of sixty
wagons had arrived at Springfield with pro-
visions. which had very favorable effect
on the Union forces, in view of possible
contingencies. We shall await further news
from Lyon with good deal Of anxiety.

The New Revenue Bill.

We propose to state the main features OF
this bill. which is of such interest to US all.
A direct tax of twenty million dollars is
assessed to the different States in accordance
with the requirements of the Constitution,
population being the basis.
It is anticipated revenue of twelve mill
lion dollars will be derived from this feature
of the bill-as the disloyal States will, of
course, pay nothing. and the expense of
collection will be considerable. The States
are privileged TO assume the tax and col
lect the amount as they see fit, being allow
ed fifteen per cent. for such collection if the
amc unit is paid over before June 30th. ! 862.
The amount due any State from the Gov
eminent for military funds advanced may
be deducted from such payment. Kansas
is assessed 81, 743, equal t. three mills on
the dollar of her taxable property.
If any State does not SO assume and col
lect, the General Government will levy the
quota of such State upon real estate and
collect it. In case of direct levy upon land,
its value on the LIST of April, 1862, will be
the basis of taxation.
An income tax is also provided for, tax
ing on all annual incomes exceeding 500
per anDum per cent. on the amount OF
such excess. Thus, on an income Of ST.
600, So would BE- collected; on one of sc,
900. $50. &c. Five per cent. is levied up.
on incomes derived from property in The
United States, owned and enjoyed in for.
eign countries. The income is TO be reck-
oned for the year ending, April, 1869. Al
| that time the statements are to be called for
and the tax collected in 80 DAYS.
Two cents per pound duty has been es.
Iablished on sugar. 81 cents on coffee, and
Is cents on tea. The duty on silks. spirits
and wine>-all articles of luxury-is in.
creased from 10 TO "a per cent.
Excise duties of five cents per gallon are
levied or all spirits that may be distilled OF
and after the LIST of April next. and on al
fermented liquors duty of TWO cents pei
| gallon is assessed.-Leav. Conservative.

Reported Indian Troubles.

We lay before our readers an extract from
a letter received yesterday by gentleman
of this city from his brother in Nemaha
county. The writer lives near Seneca, and
the letter is dated the 4th inst. A former
letter reported that Sioux Indians were fear
ed; all the information in this letter is in the
extract below. We give it for what it may
be worth:
affairs with the Indians begin to look
real blue. They killed twenty whites on
Red Vermillion few days ago, and settlers
there passed through here on their way to
Iowa. Five Indians were at Pennington
tn day. Their object is not known. There
was also seen band of about sixty Secess-
ionists on Vermillion Greek. All are arming
here. but have no weapons but shot guns.

The big Indian story which We publish
ed last week from the Topeka paper is not
confirmed. That there are large number
of Indians on our northwestern border,
there is no doubt, but as yet, We have moth
ing to make US believe they are preparing
to attack the whites. We have been blam.
ed some for publishing the story, as it had
the effect to increase the fright of few
persons. If we had not published it, and
it had turned out to be true, these same per-
sons would have blamed US great deal
more. We consider it our duty, as jour.
nalist, to publish all important runlors
We do not Vouch for their truth, but oul
readers must make up their minds for them
selves, as to their truthfulness.

FIGHTING ON THE BORDER.

The news from our southeastern border
looks a little stormy. A gentleman named
Spencer arrived at Lawrence on the 9th
inst, to ask the Governor for help to drive
out band of 'desperadoes, who had invaded
Kansas and were driving out and killing the
settlers on the Cherokee Neutral Lands.
Upwards of sixty families had been driven
from their homes. and had taken refuge in
Allen and WOodson counties. Threats oil
an attack on Humboldt, had driven some
of the families to Leroy, in Coffey county.
Sixteen men had been brutality murdered.
The marauders are under the command
of notorious scoundrel named Matthews,
and his men are said to be composed Of
desperadoes. from Missouri, Arkansas, and
the Cherokee Nation. We do not know
what has been done to check these invaders
but hope il Is something effective. We wan
arms in. Southern Kansas, and then we shall
not fear these devils in human shape. Viii
not the Government see that we get them

OUR BOYS.

We are permitted to make the following extract
from q letter written by Lieut.. c. s. Hills, Of the
Ehporia Guards. to citizen of this town. 1t
gives description Of the Forsyth fight, in which
the Guards participated. Lieut. Hills says:
You have undoubtedly watched with q
great deal Of interest our movements id and
through Missouri. although you may not
have heard from Us for some time. We
are now near Springfield. Greene county,
Missouri Our letters go from here to st.
Louis, and thence around to Leavenworth
and when away from Springfield, it is i'm
possible to transmit mail.
We returned, yesterday. from the Arkan-
sas line, where We had been on an expedi-
ton against the eastern division of Jackson
and McCulloch's force. and rejoined Lyon s
communicating a march of $50 miles,
through the Ozark mountains, in FIVE days.
The force concentrated at Forsyth was va
riously estimated at from 600 to 1000. Be
that as it may, we went into their town with
800 infantry. 200 cavalry. and two field
pieces. We entered through pass in the
mountains, about s O'Clock, p. NJ, of the
23d, after march of thirty miles-the last
four at double quick planted the arlil-
lery outside of town-opened on them with
round shot and shell from the howitzers,
while the infantry and cavalry charged
around the foot of the mountains outside Of
the town-and such q stampede / never
saw; They fred on US all the way through,
from the gorges and rocks on the hillside,
but without much effect. Two of the reg
ulars were slightly wounded Capt. Stan
ley's horse was killed under him and we
all had some idea how bullets sound, but
not how they feel. 1 never saw men so
eager to shoot, and many of them could not
be restrained. We could see man occa-
sionally. after the fight was over, peeping
among the rocks and buslles-and before
an order could be given be would be rid

fellow jumped into the river just as our
division came round the point, and every
man that saw him blazed away; the last we
saw of him he was floating down toward the
Mississippi.
We turned the street and came round to
the court house, where we met the other
division-aDd the town was taken. took
Ensign Miller with our colors, and planted
them on the spire of the court house in place
of the S. G. rag. that had to ''cave." That
night we occupied the finest houses in town

our faces in their wash bowls, lounged on
their sofas, invited friends into their parlors,
and, in fact, had big time generally.

the only way. But our Colonel would not
permit it.
The number of the enemy killed is from
twenty to thirty; but we took only four
prisoners. 1t was impossible to DO any
better, for they could not be found in such
mountains. only wonder they did not
kill half of US, with such a chance OF
defense.

Prince Napoleon at Manassas. &c., &c.


WAsHIEeToE, Aug. 10.
Surgeon General Wool has taken meas
ures for carrying into effect the late act of
Congress for adding to the medical staff of
the army a corps of cadets, whose duty it
shall be to act as dressers 10 the hospitals
and as ambulance attendants in the field.

A letter was received to-day from Lieut..
Parks, of the LIST Michigan regiment, dated
Richmond, July 29th, 10 which he says he
is prisoner with hundreds of others in that
city. More than thirty officers are with
him. He has the names of fifty-six of his
regiment. and believes they are all.
The Washington correspondence of the
n. Y. Times of the 9th, says: Late this
evening, Prince Napoleon returned from
of the Rebel cavalry and four of infantry

known at Manassas that Prince Napoleon
was coming. the enthusiasm was unbound

Beauregard and Johnston were both at
Manassas. They received the Prince with
the greatest possible respect. All their
pressing invitations and entreaties that he
would go to Richmond and see President
Davis were firmly declined.
Fortifcarions at Manassas were formidable
and our guns. particularly Sherman's, form
an important part of the defenses.
Beauregard informed the Prince that he
captured sixty-two guns at the battle at
Bnl's Run. The dead were not properly
buried. They were simply put under the
ground, and some of their feet were seen
above. Soldiers in Manassas were very
plenty but poorly dressed.
At the departure the Rebels gave the
Prince salute with U. S. guns.
On returning to Fairfax, Col. Stewart
approached the carriage of the Prince and
said:
Il hope you like our Notifications 90
Prince-''Oh, pretty we'll"
Stewart-''I hope you will interfere for
us when you get home"

mEpABY AND mrs PAPER.

There are always those who must try to
occupy a,middle ground on all questions.
They will take neither one side or the 9TH
er. In all the elections for years there has
been miserable third party. between the
two great political organizations of the coun-
try. We find many men trying to occupy
a middle grouhd-in the present great crisis.
They are against Lincoln, and his Cabinet,
and denounce them in bitter terms. They
pronounce his acts to preserve the country
unconstitutional, and try to weaken the
Union cause all they can. yet in the same
breath they proclaim themselves good IN
ion men. Of this class is old Sam Media
~. and his paPer-the Crisis, His edito-
rials ,sfe- abusive towards the President, and
to all true Union men must appear more
insulting and impudent than those of the
leading Southern Secession journals. No
act Of the President but what. receives Bit
ter condemnation by Medary's paper. and
be goes so far as to call him ''stupid" and
incompetent" and calls his Constitution
al advisers, and the leading men of the
country, both Republican and Democratic.
"crazy and reckless" People may believe
what they please about Medary's being a
Union man, but we believe, at heart, he is
as'great a rebel as gees unhung. Why do
the people of the great State of Ohio sup
port such paper at their. capital? At
present that paper is engaged in the missr-
able farce Of trying to build up the Medary
party again ia Ohio. Old Sam longs to get
his hand in: The public crib again before be
goes to inhabit that warm country prepared
for traitors. But he will fail. Instead of
rallying together the mighty hosts of De-
mocracy. as in the days of yore, his party
will be miserable faction of rebels, or
those who sympathize with them, which is
worse, because. they are too cowardly to go
South and take up arms against the Gov
eminent, which they secretly hate. Sam
upl.olds and lauds to the sky such traitors as
Congressman Vallandigham.
