Washington being now the central point Of the
current military operations, great attention will 10

There is NO other Republican paper in the Dis

HORRORS OF THE INDIAN WAR - The fol
lowing is an extract of letter from Mrs NJ
A. Hern, who was an inmate of Fort Ridgley
at the time of its siege by the Indians The
letter was written to her mother, at Jaynes
vile, Wis.
&C 1t was pitiful to see the women and chill
dren coming in tomahawked and shot-some
in the back, others in the legs or arms, and
some in the body. Many have lost father,
mother, sisters and brothers, husband OF
wife. Some came in whom the Indians had
left for dead, who had not had monthful
for six days. There was one family of six
little children whom the people brought in,
who had their father and mother both killed
by the scamps. There was woman who
had ball in the back of her head, another in
the shoulder, also a cross made on her fore
head with a toInahawk was the first one
to give her something to eat; she had had
nothing for six days There was another
who had two children burned up, and was
badly burned herself, and the infant she had
with her was burned too. But there were
too many cases of sorrow to mention every
one Of them. Nearly all had lost some nea,
and dear friend or relative"

And drop plying tear over the political
remains of one who loved office, and hated
abolitlonism. On the 18th Of July, our
friend, while at Desmoines, on hunt, was
severely bitten by rattlesnake, of the
Mahony species-being the fac simiie Of that
reptile in South Carolina He returned to
his home, seemingly in good health, and in
most excellent spirits. Soon AFTER he visited
Dewitt, in Clinton county, and exhibited
symptoms Of a high fever. His friends gath
cred around him, and determined to feed him
for time trusting to a reaction) on rattle
snake broth, and at last give him change Of
diet and the water of the Potomac He
returned to his home, in this city, and grew
worse and worse. X moving the desperate
character of the disease, the eminent Dr.
Price, of Scott, prepared a change Of diet
water and atmosphere. The friends of the
lamented still retained their confidence in the
broth, and opposed his going in the keeping
of DR.. Price Realizing that he was rapidly
failing, his friends determined upon taking
him away from the confusion and hustle of
city life. Knowing that his eminent abilities
and national reputation would throng his
route, his friends wisely concluded upon a
quiet journey to Fairview, CEDAR Rapids,
Blue Grass, &c. His journey availed him
nothing; he still grew worse.
About the LIST of October, six women and
two boys came into the city, and passed our
lamcnted friends sanctum- sancto-roar- EN-,
when he was thrown into violent commissions.
His disease assumed more serious aspect.
From that moment h seemed to have lost all
