The Indinu Expedition.

From the Fort Scott Buletin
The Indian expedition is now encamped about
six miles south of Baxter's Springs, where it
will probably remain for some time. There is
some sickness in camp-prineipally dysentery,
the result Of eating too much fresh beef without
eating proper seasoning. The men should be
well supplied with salt and pepper.
Colonel Weer has gone to Fort LeaYenworth,
where the recent difficulties viii be investigated
It is a very serious matter, and the charges
against Weer must be well sustained, or those
engaged in his arrest viii stand guilty of mutiny
the highest crime known to military law. The
arrest of a superior officer can hardly be justified
under any circumstances. Col. Weer is charged
with taking the army by forced marches to with
in fifteen miles of an equal force Of the enemy,
and then halting at point where the water was
impure, and the grass burned up That the men
were getting sick, and the provisions used up,
with no prospect Of the arrival Of the commits
sary train, and that a Tetrogade movement
which Col. Weer refused to make-was abso-
lutely necessary to save the command.
On the part of Col. Weer it is claimed that he
was only waiting for his train to come up and
the Arkansas river to fall before crossing and at
taeking the rebels under Gen. Cooper. That
there were six days half rations in camps and
TIE water Of the Grand river, though warm, was
clear and pure; that the stock was not suffering
for grass and that the retreat, besides being
unnecessary, had the appearance, at least, OF
scogardice 1t is also claimed the presence OF
our troops in the country was bringing hundreds
of the Cherokees back to their allegiance; and
the great object of the expedition was being sat
isfaotorily accomplished. The country is again
in the hal ds of the rebels, and when an advance
is again made it viii be much harder to convince
the people that our occupation will be Perma-
nent
We hope that Gen. Blunt viii bring things
into better shape, and when the expedition
moves South again, we hope he viii command
in person.

From Missouri.


A detachment Of the State militia left Saint
Joseph on Saturday night for secret service on
the Hannibal and st. Joseph railroad.
At late war meeting in Hannibal a report
Was heard from committee appointed at pre-
Vious meeting to visit st. Louis and confer with
Gov. Gamble in regard to matters ID Northern
Missouri, made a verbal report 1t was stated
that the interview with Governor Gamble and
General SchOfeld was entirely satisfactory.
and that the future policy Of the State gov
eminent, as be candidly believed, would meet
with the approval Of all Of the Union men OF
Missouri
The St. Louis Union of Wednesday says
rumors were last night rife that bands Of guer-
rillas had actually invaded St. Louis county, but
no valid foundation existed for such state
ments. 1t is well known that parties Of rebel
recruits have been mustered in various adjoin-
ing localities.
Two Of Gen. Prices recruiting officers were
arrested in ST. Louis on Sunday. They had
raised about 300 men.
A few days since a discharged soldier named
Henry Dietz, while riding through the county,
north Of Camden point about two and han
miles, was shot snd dangerously wounded by
some concealed assassin. Dietz formerly be
longed to Captain Phelsn's company of State
militia.
The St. Joseph Herald Of the 10Th says Col
Woodfoik attacked on Friday, a large force oi
puerrillas supposed TO be Porter's, at the State
road bridge over Charlton river, some three miles
north Of the Hannibal aud st. Joe railroad
The fight commenced at 2 o'clock n, and
lasted tal dark, when hosh parties drew off Col
4 Woodfolks loss was six killed and twenty-five
wounded, the enemy's loss was not known
During the night Porter retre2ted northward
and yesterday, Col. Woodfolk, having been re
infoTcsd by about 800 men and two guns, toi
lowed in close pursuit.

BAPTIsING THE COETRABANDS-The cor
respondent of the New York Tribane, from the
Georgia coast, writes an account of a religious
service for the negroes on a Sunday. After
service some of the pickinuinies were b4ptised,
and it appears from the following narrative of
the affair, that whatever their mothers were,
some Of them had 'illustrious fathers -
WheG the call for parents to bring forward
their children for baptism was made, the num-
Der greatly surprised us. All were arranged in
two rows beginning at the steps of the house
and extending down each side Of the broad and
beautiful walk leading 10 the front gate. On
our right stood father and mother with FIVE
children; then a mother with so many of her
children as she could rescue from slavery and
then perhaps, a father, with two or three child
Ten, and their grandmother, in place of the poor
mother, who had been sold. On the other side
We're children presented by relatives or stTan-
gers, the parents being sold or serving in the
rebel army. AS we passed through the solemn
service of baptising these children in the name
of the Father son and Holy Ghost, from cur in
most soul went up tho prayer that not only
might every one be a true soldier of the cross,
but also that every one might belong to the
army of freedom. Fifty two children were dedi-
Gated to the service of God and freedom on that
occasion These children were of all shades of
color, and it was truly affecting and siekening
to hear, as we did such and similar remarks con-
cerning some Of the children Hoping some
good may follow from it, we give few speci-
mems; Did you observe that pretty girl, JAne2
She is the daughter of senator - And
John, that smart faxsn- haired boy presented by
that tall white Womani That is the son of Mr..
-, merchant from New York There were
some twelve or fifteen children, who have most
mystifying history as regards their geneslogy.
Be ye sure your sins will find you out is a
truth now as well as in the days of Moses, and
if 50, who can tell how many houses, North as
well as South. will yet be visited with plaques
worse than those that fell on the Egyptians

wiekedness Of this land "

Some OF them were landed at bIilhksns Bend,

heard was about TO be undertaken By taat army.
Whether the demonstration is to be made against

is also said that considerable skrmishing was
heard toward Richmond yesterday They have

Life nj Tupe!o.

a correspondent of the Mobile Tribune says:
Reader have you ever been at Tupelol IF you
are philanthropist, and have not been here,
come at once. You will have more opportunities
to exercise patience and charity, and display
philanthropy here than at any other place l Wot
Of If you are the reverse Of philanthropst
or practical Joker, this is the precise point for
you to show your wit and display ycur muscle
at Your initiation will commence as you step
from the cars, and before you have foothold, by
being asked if you brought any watermellons
along to SELF Although you may reply in the
negative, with look as fierce as that of the
chief clerk Of post cOmmissary, you arc i'm
portuned to "sell one for two dOllarsp' Probably
you will be amused at this attempt to make you
fruit vender, but your good humor viii disap-
pear when, as you are rushing with the crowd to
the hotel, some one catches your arm and insists
upon your signing provision return, not sp-
peariDg to care that he IS at the moment keep
ing you from your own provision returns.
On one side you hear stentorian lungs brawl
ing out, and you at once have the belief forced
upon you that you are an intelligence Office and
hold out next door to an auctioneer! This man
of voice you find is directing returned soldiers
from furlough to their quarters.
You mingle with the crowd and are asked
where MY reegement is No, you don't know,
and turn upon your heel when a half frantic
passenger, who is to leave on the train just
starting, asks you to come to the provost mar
shsl's office. OF course you consider yourself
under arrest and proceed there, when your com
panion asks you to write him pass to 60 to
Mobile. You are astonished, and 50 IS he, for
the gentleman he was in quest ef had stepped
out, and he took you for him. His anger in
creases with his astonishment as the train is
leaving, and you are fortunate if he don't knock
you down for your failure to be somebody else.

SONG OF THE FIRST KENTUCKY REGIMENT.

an a. Tie Captain 'e'th his Whistler,
In the sunny month Of May
We left our native LAnd,
For we would not bend our spirits
To Tyrani's stern command,
Aud we went to Old Virginia
When our hearts were sad and sore,
But wen shed our blood for freedom
As our fathers did before
Chorus on we march, march, march.
To the music Of the drum,
We are driven forth In exile,
From our old Kentuky Home.
When R;st the Southern tag unfarled
Its4olds upon the air,
Its stars had hardly glltteFed
when Kentuekys 4 sons were there,
And they swors a solemn oath
As they stsrnly gsthered round,
They could only live as freemen
On the dark azd bloody ground"
Chorus Oh we march, march, etc.
They have branded Us as felons
By their stern deEpoac laws,
And doomed US to prison
When we hght for freedoms cause,
But we care not for thsir prisons
Wen proudly meet our doom,
II we oaly drive the Hsssians
From our Old Kentucky Home.'S
Chorus Oh We march, march, etc.
Ye brave soldiers Of the South
You soon shall see the day,
When the daughters Of Kentucky
VIII cheer you on your way,
When her sons viii rise in might
Unfettersd and unbound,
Ard drive the Tyrant's minions
From the dark and bloody ground"
Chorus Oh we msreh, march, et0.
With BUCKNER as our leader
Aud MORGAN in the van,
Wen plant the Flag Of Freedom
In our fair aud happy Land,
Wen drive the Tyrsnt minions
To the Ohio's beamiDg food,
And dye its waves in crimson
With coward Northern blood.
Chorus: Oh we march, merehi etc.
No dark stain upon her honor
No doubt upon her truth,
She'll take her place among the stars
That cluster in the South,
Then her proud old motto
VIII be welcome to you ali"
For united we viii stand
But divided we VIII fall"
