Bushwhackers Killed by the Osages.

Bushwhackers Killed by the Osages.
1t will be remembered that about the 18th
ult.. number of Usage Indians encounter
ed band of rebels. about forty miles south
of Humboldt, and killed nearly all of them.
From the official report of Capt. Doudna,
Co. 6 9th Kansas, we get the particulars
of the affair in substance, with the names
of the killed.
The rebels, it seems, were on the Indian
Reserve, when the Osages encountered
them. The Indians ordered the rebels to
deliver up their arms, saying that no armed
parties, except soldiers, were allowed to pass
through their country. The Indians also
told them that if they would surrender they
should not be killed. but turned over to the
military authorities. There were nineteen
rebels in the party, each armed with revolt
vers, and a carbine. They refused to sur
render, and drew line on the prairie, tell
ing the Indians that the first man who cross
ed it would be shot. The Indians adVanc-
ed across the line, and the white men fired,
killing one. The Indians then fired, killing
white man. The rebels retreated and af-
ter running fight of fifteen miles, during
which four more rebels were killed, the In
was killed. The Indians then killed twelve
more of the rebels, the remaining two ma
king their escape.
The Osages scalped and cut off the heads
of their victims, and stripped them of all
valuables and clothing.
From papers found on the persons of the
dead rebels, it appears that the following
named persons were among the killed Col.
7 y
Capt. w P. Mcclure, John j. Yeater,
Edward West, John Henderson, and j. B.
limbaugh.
This Harrison is without doubt the we'll
known gambler and desperate who was once
so notorious here and in Denver. Upon his
person was found document stating that
the bearer had been authorized to proceed
to New Mexico and Colorado and assume
command of tie Confederate troops there.
Harrison speaks in his pocket diary of hay-
ing first entered the Confederate service
with Quantrile at place called Wellington.
lie also says be was at the sacking of Shaw
neetown.
Mcclure had been authorized by Emmett
Mcdonald to raise company of cavalry.
Woodson also had authority to raise cav
airy regiment in Missouri.
1t is evident from the papers found that
the parties above named all participated in
tie last campaign against Gen. Blunt. in
Arkansas.
Capt Doudna says the impression seems
to prevail that the guerillas design concen-
trating in Colorado in sufficient force to cap
ture teams. mules. &c, and that they intend
to proceed from lkeir present field of opera
tons in small parties towards localities in
Colorado and New Mexico. This opinion
is confirmed by reports of friendly Indians,
who have good opportunities to obtain re-
liable information
Capt. Doudna reports that he has made
an arrangement with the Osages to maintain
strict watch on their border. and keep the
military authorities advised of every suspi-
eious circumstance they may notice.--Com-

to Mexico; the war was begun forthwith
Both England and Spain demonstrated with
France, and withdrew. Almonte, a.refu-
gee-who is our enemy because he was ia
ken prisoner at San Jacinto, and who is a
bosom friend of SlideIl and Mason, an adroit
politician and tool of apoleon-goes with
the expedition and claims to be the ruler of
Mexico.
The purposes of Napoleon are not hid.
By encouraging Almonte. it is clear that he
means to overthrow the Government of Ju-
arez, who is our firm friend. The letter
sent by the Emperor to his general, Forey,
says that while he is interested in oar pros
perity, yet he has no interest in our control
ling affairs on this continent-showing that
he aims to cripple or control the United
States. By trumping up demands on Mex
leo which cannot be paid, except by the
grant of her ports, it is plain to see that he
seeks to possess the Isthmus, and the sea-
coast, including the provinces adjoining
Texas and those on the Pacific; the one
whence he can obtain cotton, and the other
silver and gold. His recent efforts to San
mex" Texas, show where his thoughts run.
His 5000 troops, sent to Sonora, could cap
ture San Diego, Arizona and Southern Cal
fornia, as well. Thus would he command
the Pacific, and Climate obtain which
command, he has already assaulted the
Sandwich and Society Islands and New Cal
edonia, the people of Cochin China and the
King of Siam.
Should our war result more favorably to
the South, their hopes of European ALI
ance and Intervention may yet be realized.
1t is probable that Buffers success at New
Orleans, and calling the slaves to arms, in
conjunction with the capture of Vicksburg.
will secure to the United States the mouth
of the Mississippi against his assaults.
1t is worthy of rejoicing to Texas and
Kansas, that Puebia has not been captured;
for the Mexican general commands really
our right wing, as Victor Emanuel at Sol
ferino did the left, guarding US from a most
dangerous foe, and unconsciously playing
an important part in our battle.
The dangers that will constantly await us
in case Secession triumphs, are realized by
this over-eager haste of Napoleon to gain a
footbold on our continent. He thought us
already dissolved into warning factions, not
only sick, but dying; and as a vulture how
ers around wounded horse, or shark fol-
lows an infected ship, his army already comes
to seize upon what they count their prize,
as soon as our nation is struggling in NOR
tai peril God speed our arms TO victory,
and then may we lead the way to the de-
struction of the INSCRIPTIONS despot Of
France
