Headmen, and Prophets. A blow that falls upon
and Furnishes their leaders, by whom they have been
instiRated, and whose commands they almost super
sitiously obey, will be recognized by them rs falling
upon the authors Of their crimes just yindica'
ton of the majesty of our laws, and as an exhibition
of the magnsnimity Of our people. On the other
hand, q punishment which falls alike upon those
who nstig gated and led them on, and those who fol-
lowed through blind and superstItoas instinct Of
obedience, viii beget bitter feeling Of revenge,
which, though it may be smothered, will never be
extinguished.

eress, proposing indemnication for the damage done
the French brig Jules Marie in the collision with

On the 81 OF November, 1861, collision took
plsce of the cont OF Cuba between the United
States war steamer San Jacinto and the French brig
Jules ct Marie, resulting in serious damage TO tie
latter. Tie obligation of this Government TO make
amends therefor could not be- questioned, the in-
Jury resulted from any fault on the part OF the San
Jacinto. With u view to assertion this, the subject
WA referred 10 Committee Of United states ana
French naval officers, at New.fork, with a naval
officer Of Italy as an arbier The conclusion ar
rived ut was, that the colsiol was occasioned by
the failure Of the San Jacnto seasonaby 10 reverse
her engines. IL then became necessary to ascsrlain
the amount Of naturalization 10 the injured party.
The United States Consul-Generai 1T liaysn. WAS
nsequently instructed to confer with the Consul oil
France on this point, and they have determined tlat
the SUN OF s., 5iJii an equitable allowance under
the circumstances. / recommend an appropriation
of this sum for tie benefit OF the owners OF the

We believe there have been Impressions
made in the minds of persons in ether
parts of this Territory, 70 the effect that
Fort Kearney Was abQunding in treason
and tdFunkennesSA Such Impressions have
only been made by the tongues Of mischie-
Vous persons.i either niisrepresenting or
exaggerating matters connected with This
Fort Il is possible there may have been
a few men who got drunk, or who NAV
have uttered sentiments adverse to the
government, but all are not to be blamed
for the few. We hope to speak the truth,
and We desire that all wrong impressions
shoult be removed from the minds Of the
people.
Capt. F. VI. B. Newly was in command
OF this Fort until recently. He took COM
maud some time in last June, and contin-
ued in command until lately, when he was
ordered 70 tbe headquarters of this Depart
ment, and relieved Of his command by
Capt. ]. A. Thompson. We have to say,
that during the time Capt Newly Was
here, We never knAW OF any -tpeasOna6le
designs or actions, or reasonable or dis
loyal language on his part. This We say,
believing that there is an impression on the
minds of many that there was.
In connection with this we noticed in
the Omaha RepMbLieGn of the cad inst. a
letter from "G- L. NJ" giving a plain mat
ter Of fact statement of things regarding
this plan, which we heartily endorse. We
wouid criticise it IL it were necessary. but
it is as sound as possible,-we can only
speak of it in praise. The Editor of the
Republican in alludiug 10 the letter OF
his correspondent rejolces that Fort Kear-
NET is now Purged of drunkenness and
treason, "at least of its oRcers:' thereby
leaving an impression tha1 dFnukeL .ess
and treason does still exist here, excent-
log among the oticess- We think it is not
just that Fort KesEsey should bear such
reproacb, aud we hope, for the sake ofthe
sober and loyal men here, that all such in =
Pressions may be removed.
The people need have no more nisgiy-
ings in regard to affairs at this Fort. The
Fort is in good hands, and without doubt
will coutinue to be So 1t is now com
