Florida, reports 10 the Navy Department that
on the 9th inst, an expediti IN left for the pur.
pose Of demulishing some rebel salt works up.
on the mainland. The expedition consisted Of
four boats from tho Tohoma and four from the
steamer Somerset numbering in all Ill men,.
Two of the boats had howitzers Twenty or
thirty armed guerillas were put to fight by
The shells, shrapnel, and canister with which
the houses, woods, and undcrbrush were
searched. Then the sidall.afins men landed
and deployed as skirmishers on each side Of
the flank Of the guns, and the working parties
destroyed the boilers which were Of various
shapes aud curious construction. The houses
in the immediate vicinity were fired, and the
boats proceeded to the next station. Here the
boats covered the working parties. II vas
necessary 10 put 4 howitzcr shell through two
very thick, cast iron and two wrought iron
boilers. The buildings were then burned -
Just after leaving the latter place, the cars
came in, and probably brous reinforcements,,
as the people on shore yelled and shouted, and
fired some twenty shots at the boats. From
tie sound it was judged the shots were from
MIME or Enfield rifles. None of them, how
ever struck any Of The men. nor could they
have done any harm, as the Distance was too
great The expedition was entirely successful.
Some twenty>eight boilers were destroyed, and
all the buildings within reach destroyed but

The Indian War Over.
From the Manknt, Independent, Oct. .

From the Manknt, Independent, Oct. %.
We left Camp Release, near Lacqui Parie,
on Saturday last, at which time all was quiet,
and no apprehension Of further difficulties with
the Indians existed in any quarter.
The white or mixed breed captivcs, II was
thought, had all or about all reached CAMP
altogether probably numbering over 200 pris.
oners. There are from l50 to 200 lodges of
Sioux Indians encamped adjoining Col. Sbley
considerable number of whom had been iden-
titled by captivcs and others as participants in
the several fights and in the murders and out
RACES committed nj the agences on the frontior.
A druu.head court martial had been in session
for some ten days, and was still in progress
when we left. Quite number Of Indians have
been convicted, and were under sentence to be
hanged when we'ielt. New arrests were made
daily, and we have no doubt but that the In.
dian encampment wouldbe thoroughly purged
Of all the rascals guilty Of participation in the
outbreak.
The number of Indians was daily increasing
by descrtion from Little Gov. On Saturday
the day we left, o party we heard estimated as
high as 45 lodges would be in under a flag Of
truce to give themselves up for the purpose Of
saving their families.
Little Crow, at latest advices had been de-
serted by nearly all his followers, had aban-
doned his trains, mounted his women and chill
dren upon horses, and was making 0 most
precipitate fight in the direction Of the Rocky
aountains. The latest news from him was
received by Mrs. Higgins, wife Of Missionary
murdered at Lacqui Parle, fleeing as above
stated
The Indians appear to bo thoroughly SUBJ
dued, and their only hope now seems to be III
passing themselves of as friends Of the
wiiites" and non participants in the outbreak.
Many admit participation in the several fight;
but claim to have done so through compulsion.
In our opinion the war b over. We do not
believe there is an Indian who would dare raise
his hand against white man within 200 miles
Of our most advanced settlement.

FEARFUL EXPLOSION OF LARD TANK.-On

who escaped with bis liie; but was stssrsiS
scalded about the face and body.
The building was closed at the time, and the

portion Of the West wall sprung out several
inches beyond the windows in the upper stories
and the whole edifice-a very large one-was
terribly shaken.
No satisfactory reason for the explosion can
DO given, at present, owingto the absence of
the engineer. The damages to the building
will exceed $1,000. The loss in lard alone is
estimated at $l,s00.

Correspondence OF the New York Herald
New Orleans, Oct. 1G.--lIaving squelched
active, open treason in every other profess0h;
General Butler has concluded that it is time To
take the church in hand Consequently, last
week, Gov. Shepley issued an order to the rec
tors Of the various Episcopal churches that
hereafter the services must be read inthe or
der prescribed by the founders Of the Church.
This OF course includes the prayer for the
Preslder of the United States.
Last Sunday morning, Major Strong, Chief
OF General Buffers staff, feeling the spirit
move him, determined to attend service at the
Second Episcopal Church. situated directly
opposite resident headquarters.
His sole motive in attending church was that
Of worship, and he was not actuatcd by any de;
sire 10 interfere with the proceedings, but
when the rector omitted the prayer for the
President, and prayed with particular JUNCTION
aRd emphasis that his people might be spared
from their enemies, the Major was very justly
excited.
Resolved to give tho minister full opportu,
nity to read the pray, r if he would, he waited
until the ltany was fin shed and hymn an
nounced, when he rose, aud, enjolning siienr6
on the minister he turned to the congregatfn
and stated that he visited the church for tho
sole purpose Of worshipins God but as the
rector had seen fit 10 omit the prayer for the
President Of the United States. he in .he name,
and by the authority OF the commander Of the
Department Of the Gulf declared the SERVICES
closed or course the. female portion Of tho
congregation was on huge "rampagc," and
some began to sob and scre,m, while others
CRASHED their teeth and made themselves
otherwise conspicuous by their conduct. AS
the Mnjor (and those who know him will read
,ly conceive how disagreeable was the duty he
had been obliged to perform) passed out Of the
church, the ladies (0 who had collected in
quite crowd by the door, favored him With q
hlss that would have dissipatel the ambitious
dreams Of many young and modest aspirant
to historic honors; but he passed quietly
through with the air Of one who knows be is
in the right. After the church was closed.

Goodrich declared himself an unconpromising

Who can estimate the weight Of rcspon-

The above is plain spoken, unvar-
