The Savage Allies Of Secession

Perhaps nothing contributed more
to exaspcrate the patriots and heroes
of the Revolutionary war than the
employment of Indian savages by the
British Government in it's struggle
with the Colonies. Every school-boy
is familiar with the eloquent invective
which this policy Of the Ministry lin
its conduct Of the war drew from Lord
Chatham on the floor of the British
Parliament. "Who,' he asked, "is
the man that has dared to authorizee
and associate to our arms the toma-
hawk and the scalping-knife of the
savage? To call into civilized ALI.
ance the wild and inhuman savage of
the woods, to delegate to the mcrci-
less Indian the defence Of disputed
rights, and to wage the horrors Of his
barbarous war against our brethren ?
My lords, these enormities cry aloud
for redress aud punishment. Unless
thoroughly done away with it will be
. stain on the nationa. character"
Unwarne6 by the verdict of history,
and insensible to the instincts Of civ
ilization and humanity which still live
in these noble ntterances Of the great
British commoner, the military author,

Horrible Outrage.

Bridges burned on the Hannibal and 81. 10 Rail
rood-Cas and Passengers precPitated into The
Little Plate Reconsideration Persons killed end
sirty or serenity rounded!
The passenger train bound west
ward, Sept. Sd, on the Hannibal and
st. Joseph Railroad, met with terri
bic accident nine miles this side of
st. Joseph, at about midnight. The
catastrophe occurred at the bridge ov-
er the Little Platte river. The bridge
was substantial work of l60 feet
span and about 35 feet above the riv-
or. The timbers of the bridge had
been burned underneath the track I'M
til they would sustain but little more
than their own weight, and the fire
was then extinguished, leaving the
bridge mere shell. The bridge look
ing secure, the train passed on, but no
sooner had the locomotive measured
its length upon the bridge, than some
forty or fifty yards of the structure
gave way, precipitating the entire
train into the abyss below Nearly
one hundred passengers, including
women and children, were on board
the train. All the seats in the pas
seDger cars were torn up and showed
in front, carrying men, women and
children in a promiscuous heap down
the declivity, and burying them among
the crushed and broken timbers, or
throwing them headlong from the
sides of the cars. Jagged pieces of
flooring impaled some, some were
mangled by machinery tearing through
the timbers, several were caught be-
tween planks pressing together like
vice, others were struck by parts of
the roof as it came down with nigh
ty force, still others were cut with
pieces of glass, while wounds and
blood and agony prevailed all over
the frightful scene. The hight of the
bridge above the water was about
twenty-five feet and the depth of the
water nearly two feet. But three per-
sons escaped uniniured One of these
(Mr. Hagar) started for st. Joseph on
foot for help. Two hundred yards
west of the bridge he discovered
heavy rail tie strongly strapped across
the track, and two miles further Oh he
found a small bridge on fire.
Arriving at st. 10. the alarm in
stantly spread through the town and
by three o'clock in the morning more
than hundred people had arrived at
the scene of the disaster. Seventeen
dead bodies were taken from the
wreck, while there were not less than
sixty others with broken limbs, bruis-
ed and crushed bodies--all of whom
were humanely cared for The indig.
nation of the St. Joseph people tow
ard the fiends who caused the accident
was intense. Gen. Pope has since
been over the road and instituted mea-
sure for the complete determination
of the demoniac vampires who hover
over the road and have SO signally
proved their unftness to live.

it is proposed to conduct the war, we
cite the following extracts from South
ern journals
| "Thc red men of the forest (says
the Memphis Avalanche of the Goth
August) are gathering to the stand,
ard of the South. Albert G.. Pike,
the Indians friend, acting as Commits
sioner of the Confederate States, is
forming alliances with the most noted
tribes of the West. Even the wild
Camanches, heretofore untamabic, are
about to be brought under the protec-
ton and influence of the Confederate
Government and mustered into the
service Of the Confederate States. 1t
will be grand sight to see a cavalry
brigade of those wild and fierce horse
men of the desert, subjected to the
discipline of civilized warfare, fight
ing the battles of the South. Our In
dian army will strike terror into the
craven hearts Of our mercenary inva.
ders."
Albert G. Pike, ,cho was commissioned
by Gen. jefferson Darts to treat with
the Creek nation" makes the following
report
Notwithstanding heavy outside
influence, treaty advantageous to
both parties was made with the rulers
of the Creek nation. Before entering
upon the consideration of the treaty it
was voted by unanimous vote of the
council to go with the South, treaty
or no treaty. The principal men have
been true as steel to the South from
the beginning of the negotiation, and
the nation ratified their treaty by a
unanimous vote in council, every town
being Represented. Their regiment uul
be ready in a .fe,c days, and probably a
half dozen companies more"
The Helena (Arkansas) Shield of
the 10th ult., mentions that large
body of Indian warriors were already
in the field, destined for Missouri. 1t
says:
From the Hon. G. w. Adams, of
this county, who arrived at home q
few days since from the northern part
of this State, we learn that on last
Monday week thirteen hundred Indian
warriors - Southern allies - crossed
the Arkansas river, near Fort Smith,
on the way for McCulloch's camp.
These Indians were armed with rifle,
butcher-knife and tom,ahaark, and had
their faces painted one-half red and
the other black. We also learn that
a regiment Of mounted Texans like
wise crossed the Arkansas at or near
Fort Smith for the same destination
In the presence of such facts who
can wonder that Missouri journals,
like the st. Louis Republican, signifi-
cantly ask if this is the kind of sym.
pathy" by which it is proposed to
WOO that State into "the ambush of Sc
cession? 2"
