Loyal indians for Lane.

The loyal Iudan warriors driven from
their homes to Southern Kansas by the
rebel whites and savages, number about
1000. Opotheyoholo their chief, is de-
scribed as splendid fellow, full of deter.
mination and fire. Besides him and his
followers, says the Lcavenworth Conserva-
tive, there are 5000 other Indians in Kan
sas ready to join Gen. Lanes column, max
ing 5000 in ala splendid corps of scouts
The announcement, however, that Gen.
Hunter, and not Gen Lane, is 10 have com
mand, is distasteful TO them. They know
the latter, and have confidence in him
The following is protest and appeal drawn
up in presence of United States Indian
Commissioner Dole, and certified by G. A.
Cutter, Commissioner for the Creek Nation,
which they have sent to Washington:
FoRT LEAvENwoRTu, Kansas, Jan. %, 1862.
To our Great Father
s. the President of the u. s.:
FATHER-We arc told by our friends
that there is some doubt as to whether the
Great Var Chiet, Gen. Lane, will com
mand the expedition TO our country. Our
object in having this letter sent to you, is
to beg that General Lane be placed in COM
mand of that expedition, as we believe no
other warrior can place US in possession Of
our country again SO effectually as he can.
Our people have heard of Gen. Lane
many seasons ago. They heard how, with
but handful OF warriors, be beat back The
enemy when they were ms numerous as the
leaves of the forest, and restored peace and
quiet to Kansas.
Our people have been told that he would
come with an army to restore them TO their
homes, and to aVenge the great wrongs
they have suffered. Il has made their
hearts glad to hear it; they have suffered
much, they have been driven from their
homes in the dead of winter, when the earth
was clothed in white; many Of them have
frozen 70 dealh, all Of them have lost al
they possessed. s,oite.,o.-,f -,e3,... s4,,f,
There are now 5000 women and child
rem in Southern Kansas without tents, but
aeantly clothed, and exposed TO all the hor-
roFs of severe winter.
OuSagents have done and are now do
ling al they can 70 relieve us, but We have
comfortable homes in our own country and
we wish TO be restored to them, e,f, .
Gen. Lane is our friend. His heart is
| big for the Indian, He will do more for
US than any one else. ~ bse ,so.Ssb f,.lt
The heartsiof our people viii be sad il
he does not come. They will follow him
wherever he may lead. They will sweep
the rebels before them like, a terrible fire

The Time for Action.

These are the times that try men s
souls. Never has there been bloodier
war than this. Never was there such a
dark cloud hanging over our beautiful
America. When Sumpter fell our souls
were fired with Indignation We could
not see this nation destroyed; the flag
of our country, which has been honored
throug ghout the world for eighty years,
shot at, rent, and trampled in the dust
Every patriot said: "This must be
avenged!'' Il have but cDe life to
give, and that will [ offer to my coun-
try" How many mother was proud
of her soldier boy, with brown face and
resolute bearing, as she held his hand
in parting, and with trembling voice,
said: God bless you and keep you,
my SON.

August Ith, 1907.
[ have now gathered a stock Of items
which may interest your readers.
Last week this regiment engaged in a
sham battle five miles from this place
Gems Sigel, Schurz, Schenck and Mil
roy were present Some ten or twelve
thousand men participated in this inter
esting affair. The day was spent in
charging, firing and rallying.
The object of these movements seen S
to be to display the discipline of the
troops, and to familiarize them with rapi d
movements on all kind Of ground The
day was very hot, as nearly all the days
of last month, and thus far of this, have
been. But the men stood the fatigue
Of the march there, and of the maneu-
vering well
In recent reconnaissance, pushe 4
five miles beyond Madison Court House,
a good deal Of information was gained
The rebel pickets were driven from the
latter place. From the citizens it was
ascertained that Gems EweIl and Long
street were near Gordonsville junction,
and that Their pickets had just left the
town. This place is within eighteen
miles of Gordonsville, and this was the
first visit the citizens had received from

August, 7th, 1862.

Ed. 7slegraph-SIR: Many of the
friends of the 9th Regiment Va. Volun-
teers, living in Meigs county, are apx-
ous to learn the particulars Of the raid
on Sommerville. The statement OF
Lieut.. Miller, who was present at the
time, and, also of DR.. j. FL. Hysell,
Assistant Surgeon of the regiment, [
have received the following report:
On the morning of the 9th of July,
about 4so''clock A M., they were aroused
by the sentinel at headquarters firing
his gun. Lieut. Miller Immediately
sprang from his bed Looking from
the window Of his room he saw the
street full of Cavalry, completely cut
ting him off from his company, who
were quartered on the opposite side OF
the street. Finding that resistance on
his part would be useless, he went down
to the lower part of the house and es-
capped from the back window. He heard
shots fired as he was secreting himself
in the bushes. DR.. Hysell was fired
upon twice while in the hospital. He
SAYS Col. Starr fred upon the enemy
with his revolver until taken prisoner,
wounding two, one of them severely
After remaining in town about an hour
they left with their prisoners and spoils.
DR.. Hysell states that the rebels took
all the money from the men, taking
from him all he had, and, after compell :
ipr him to dress the wounds Of their
men, left him to take care of our sick
and wounded. Capt. Davis company
did not surrender till the rebels burned
the house they were in. Nothing but
the neglect Of the officer in command
caused the surprise and capture to be
SO complete and disastrous. Neither
the officers or sergeants being with their
men at the time, it does not surprise US
that the men, without officers to COM
mand them, failed to drive the rebels
from the place. The rebels were COM
manded by Major Bailey, of Fayette G..
H., Va, and Capt. Phelps, Of Ripley
jackson county, Va. Their loss was
one killed and two wounded. Our loss,
two wounded and seventytwo prisoners,
as follows:

A State Convention.


The call Tor State Convention, which we
publish to-day although rather genera, in its
terms, will answer well enough. 1t Is made,
however, by the Republican State Committee,
and So is 10 beundersood, we suppose, to be sub
stantially IA Republican call, and the Convention
70 be a Republican Convention. The trouble with
all such goneratie, IL that they are interpreted
to suit the peculiar views Of individuals Of wide
" different political notions, and frequently
bring together men waocaunot act tremendously
in the same harness. The New York Heraid,
for instance, pretouds to enthusiastically sup.
port the policy Of President Lincoln. and is yet
continually making war upon the great meas
ures that have been passed by Congress and
have received the Executive sanction The
proper way, however to get along with indivld-
uals OF the Herald style of politics, who might
feel az liberty to come into State Convention
under this call, is to pass some specific resou-
tons in the Convention that shall commit the
olBahlHatiou 10 some uclnlJe llhe Ol pOllCy.
We ought not, in Convention, to content our
selves with BelI-Eyerett style Of platform that
means anything or nothing Vormonters have
specific opinions and beliefs, and should not
hesitate to express them. And all defects, am
biguities, or vagueoess in the call can be rene
died easily enough, if the earnest Republicans
will only turn out, as they should, to the Con
vention.
The present Governor, and Treasurer, will be
renomlnated as matter Of codlse, and we hope
the Lieut.. Governor also. 1t is no disparage
ment to the rest OF the ticket to say that Mr.
Underwood has performed The duties 0. his
Office as acceptably to the people Of the State as
either the Governor or Treasurer He is oGe 0
the best and most accurate presiding officers
that has ever occupied the chair in the Senate,
and as an executive officer has been of much ser
vice to the State during his term OF office. We
move the denomination OF the ticket entire

Confscation of Slaves.

A little more than a week ago we were COM
PEELED, much to our chapin, to record the re-
lection by the House Of the bill confiscating the
slaves Of rebels, by vote Of n to H. A mo-
ton was made 70 reconsider at the time, and we
are now able to inform our readers that that
motion has prevailed by the very decided ma
jority Of -, "a voting to reconsider, aud IS
voting against u recoosid,raton Nearly every
Republican put himself right on the record A
substitute was then offered for the bin, and the
matter was referred 10 the select committee on the
subject Of coniscation, who viii report a till
which wall secure majority, aud thu, be sure
to become Il law. Let US take courage to hope
that those =" waiting for party have not yet
debauched the minds Of majority Of Congress,
and that the great work Of freeing the Nation
from the wasting evil OF Slavery is marching on
surely to Its consummaton
