The Indian Troubles.

The following correspondence between
Judge WINsoR and Gov. SALoMoN fully
explains itself
LETTER OF JUDGE WINsoR.
MAUsToN, July 27, 1868.
To His Ezcellency, EDWARD sALoMoN -
Sir: On the 25sh inst. | was called
upon by Judge Clark, OF Portage City, i'll
reference to issuing a writ of Habeas Corr
pus to inquire into the cause OF the de
tention OF some Is Indians held at New
Lisbon by Capt. Arnold (or the 5Oth regt
| believe) These Indians are a portion
of the Winnebagoes who have always
lived in this vicinity, and were first ar
rested for the purpose of compelling them
to produce the Indians engaged in the
murder OF Mrs. Salter. They are not de-
tanned by any legal process, nor is it
charged that they had any part in the late
murder. They profess willingness to do
anything within their power, but they
say they are unable to get the guilty par
ties. Capt. Arnold informed Judge Clark
that his orders were to hold the Indians
| and that till he had orders to release them
from bis commanding officer, he should
detain them. Under these circumstances,
! requested Mr.. CLARK to withdraw his
application for the writ and make a repre-
sentation to you of the matter, believing
the same result would be attained with
less difficulty.
| believe every rational man in this vi
cinity has come to tie conclusion thai
there is no danger of general outbreak
of the Indians, unless they are ill-used.-
The murder was an individual affair, pro
badly originating in liquor, The Indians
confined had no part in it whatever, ant
really, | think their further cOnfnemen
will do more harm than good. If whites
should persist in an indiscriminate attaci
upon the Indians, undoubtedly there
| would be retaliations, but otherwise
think there can be no immediate danger

per, and the facts in the case sustain N.
statement, represent the matter to Gen
Smith, when, have no doubt the limo
cent Indians will be discharged, and thu
any possibility OF collision between tn
civil and military authorities prevented
But we never can avoid occasional diff
culties with the Indians, SO long as the

the rest of our citizens in asking that yo

BALTIMORE TO NEW YoRK.-A distin.
guished citizen of Baltimore writes to a
Democrat of New York that he is one Of
those who helped to get up the riot in
New York, by talking about "illegal ar
rests, " freedom of Speech" " usurpation
and OPPRESSION" &C., and thus advises
him:
There is nothing left you now bat to
repent of your sins, take a musket and
don't let the riot die out. Kill it with
guHpowder. And, after you have put it
out in blood, resolve always to vote
against a Locofoco, even if he goes to
your Church and sings Psalms and teaches
in the Sunday school. The devil is only
under the skin. He'll be traitor as soon
as opportunity offers. And after that res
olution, write an humble apology to Gov.
Bradford for all New York said about the
10Th of April in Baltimore.

The Germans of Ohio DESERVING ValIan-
digham.

The German Democratic organ at
Cley eland has taken the name of VALLAN-
D1eHAM from its columns, and raised that
of JOHN BRoUeH for Governor. The edi>
tor says, in explanation Of his course;
AS will be noticed by our readers, we
put to-day at the head of our paper, the
name of Mr.. Brough for Governor.
This is no hasty step but we have
concluded, after mature consideration aad
consultation with many Of our democratic
friends, to lay aside for the present party
differences, and by the utmost of our in
t1uence to aid to victory the party that
advocates the suppression of the rebellion.
The disgrsceful scenes which a few day,
ago occurred in New York city proress
that it requires the united efforts of 90
good citizens, without regard TO party, to
sustain the public peace and order, and it
ID most certainly the duty of every one
who cares for the welfare of our country,
to put aside party considerations and to
support our constitutional government.

INCIDENT ON THE BATTLE FIELp,--One
day not long since, among the relies of the
dreadful fight at Gettysburg, there was
picked up by soldier, and presented to g
lady acquaintance, a small paper, which
contained two separate locks of hair at
tached thereto directed to Mr.. Wellerford
from LOUISIANA, by his wife, in beautiful
handwriting. Below one lock was Fanny
Wellerford, and below the other Richard
Wellerford, and below both "Our Dar.

home and children had been sent to cheer
heart in the far distant land 10 which the
fortunes of war had brought him and
propably he wore the tender testimonials
near his heart when the fatal missile
death separated him from those he loved
in his far off Southern home. Strangers
now possess the tender relic, and he rests
| beneath the clods of Northern valley,
his grave probably unmarked and undis-
tinguished from hundreds around him who
met their death on the bloody field of Get
| tysburg, and wife and children look for in
vain the return of the loved husband and
father.

For THE COLUMBIA DEMOCRAT.
The Back Townships.

COLONEL TATE,
Dear Sir Much has been said about
the "back townships" that they are 'too
radical" "opposed to the war" "thc fruit
ful soil of Copperhoadism" &C., and, the
reason assigned for it is, "the people are
ignorant,' "don't take the papers, cant
read them" &c. Now, while it is conccd.
ed that, the people Of the central town
ships have had greater literary advantages
than we, and that, because the public busi-
ness is done at the County scat and large
towns, talent and intelligence naturally
concentrate there, we deny that the mass
of the people have any more good sense
or native talent than those of the back
townships, and we venture to say, that a
good proportion of the best talalent at the
centre, was first developed in the back
townships, That they take the papers,
and are something of reading people, is
evidenced by the stuffed mail bags that are
carried through, and distributed in these
townships, and that they read and under
stand the issues involved in the politics of
the country, is proved by their consistant,
political action, from year to year, you
find them resting upon the same iounda-
ton, contondiug Tor the same truthful
principles, and voting for the same liberal
measures They cannot be terrified by
threats ror bought with Money. If they
cannot bling so much learning into their
Investigations, they exercise common sense.
They are able to distinguish between good
and bad government between liberty and
despolism. If they are radical, it is be-
cause they believe that, the slightest en-
croachments upon liberty, open the door
for further violations Of the people, rights,
that strict adberance to constitutional
law, is the only safeguard of liberty,
hence their opposition to the war policy
they believe it originated in interference
with constitutional rights, has been car.
ricd on in violation Of constitutional law,
and must terminate disastrously to the
country. They took this ground at the
commencement, that the war was not for
the Union and the Constitution, that this
was but pretense in order TO accomplish
sectional purpose, while others were
deceived by the sham, and carried away
with the excitement, the back townships
strenuously contcnted, that the cry o.
Union" was a humbug, and to be 10y
al' was to support the Administration
right or wrong. Men addressed them
and gave them good speeches, but failed
to satisfy them upon the points, to them
the most important and the ever returning
questions were: What is the obj ect Of the
war And will war accomplish the end
in all they heard and in all they saw
they heard and saw nothing to changt
their original convictions. And they safely
appeal to the history Of the past two year:
and half, that these convictions were
correct.
Let these men who sneeringly speak o
the back townships, remember that eacl
township IN some way, is working for the
aood of the county, and they all help t.
make it the "Star Of the North,' though
there may not be so much learning in, ye
much of their bread and butter comes
from the back townships.
