FROM THE PLAINS.

General Curtis is at Fort Kearney organ
izing an expedition against the Indians.
General Bob. Mitchell, of this State, will
have command of the expedition, and it
is expected will put it through on rapid
principles. There have been very few dep
relations en- the Northern route lately, and
the Indians seem to have moved south.
The Santa Fe coach arrived at Kansas
City on Saturday. after two days detention
at Fort Lyon. The Journal, of that city,
has the following: The conductor, Mr..
Brothers, reports much trouble with the
Indians, but in spite Of all there is consid-
cradle travel both going out and coming in.
August 9th, Allison lost six wagons and
FIVE men killed on the Cmaron. On the
9th, Otero lost 1876 mules. On the 9th,
Stedman lost one man on the Aubrey route.
On the goth, mule train crossed the nine
mile ridge, and lost one man killed. On
the 21st, Repine's train from Leayenworth,
at Atkins ranch, lost the wagon master,
Blanchard. killed, and $50 head of cattle.
The above reports Mr.. Brothers obtained
from Mr.. Shoemaker, from Fort Union, who
came through and buried the men, except
at Allison's, which Mr.. Brothers witnessed
himself. When the Indians robbed Re-
pine's train they crossed the Arkansas with
some 400 mules, besides the cattle. Capt
Hardy, with a company of troops, was met
at Coon Greek within thirty miles of the
trains, on forced march to their relief,
with ample transportation to bring back ali
to Fort Larned. The mail coach is perfect
ly safe, as it is always accompanied by a
heavy escort. -.

ing lifelong Democrat for Vice President
Andy johnson. Many radical men were
in favor of Butler for President-aIifs- long
Democrat. If he has been, through the
present struggle, right, and is right now,
this should not be urged against him too
strong. For our part we believe, he is
right, We also believe Mr.. Crawford
would make good run before the people.
He has been a resident of Kansas for eight
years, and has the ability for the position.
We believe he understands the needs of.the
-people-of the State as well as any man in the
field for Governor, He was candidate
two years ago for the same position, and
went into convention with more positive
strength than any. other candidate, bat to
carry out the programme of the dominant
party, was withdrawn by his friends. He
was afterwards rendered the position of Sec
rotary of State on the same ticket, but on
the principle that he did not bslievein low
ering the flag, very properly declined. He
afterwards did effective work for the ticket
against the union movement, and in favor
of the Republican party. 97ae.
We have said this much for Mr.. Craw-
ford. not that he is particularly our favor

the delegates from the Southwest, and to
say that in our judgment they might do
worse than to support him, if indeed they
could do better. -. 49,

The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1864-09-03
SPEECH OF GEO. A. CRAWFORD

Hon. George A. Crawford, Of Fort Scott,
visited this place On Wednesday, and in the
evening made speech at the Christian
church. We did not keep notes of his re-
marks, but can say the speech abounded
with the right kind of sentiments. He Of
ten grew eloquent, and his description of
our country previous to the present war
was indeed beautiful and true lie endors-
ed Lincoln and his administration, aud
urged the people to re- elect him. He alIu-
ded in a very feeling manner to he condi.
ton of Kansas. We we're almost surround
ed with bloodthirsty enemies. We were
situated as an Island in sea of trouble.
On the west the savage was upon the war
path, thirsting for our blood, while we were
threatened on the east and south with inva-
sion by a still more barbarous enemy-the
bushwhacker. Heurged the people to arm
them selves with muskets and revolvers, and
be ready to defend their homes They had
no friend like their trusty rifle, in such
times as these.
We wish we could give more lengthy
account of this speech, but cannot do so.
1t was listened to attentively by the audi
ence, and heartily applauded at its close.
and We have heard many speak of it in
terms of praise. We did not regard it as
one Of h c5est efforts-nol so good, as a
whole, asehis speech at this place two years
ago.
1t is understood, we suppose, by most Of
our readers. that Mr. Crawford is caudi-
date for Governor. We are not prepared to
say wis Their he viii receive the support Of
the delegates from this part of the State or
not. But We do say this: If upon iDqui-
ry The delegates from Southern Kansas, find
him right upon the great Issues of the day
If lie is opposed to any recognition o.
slavery in any shape in the settlement Of
cur diiiculties-aud the other questions at
issue, which our people are too well sc
/ quainted with TO need enumeration here
1 aud if be is right on our local matters, We
should greatly prefer him to man coming
from Lawrence, Leavenworth, or anywhere
I north Of the river. The north side vii
undoubtedly have the Congressman, in the
