An INDIAN ADvESruRE-Mr Carr, IN old set
tier on the Solomon, arrived in Salina about
midnight of Friday Of last week, hatless and
shoeless. and completely exhausted. He had
travelled eighty miles, being out four days with
out bite to eat, and his feet were swollen terri
bly,. His story. as We heard it. is as follows
He had been out buffalo hunting with q man
named Colbert During the day Colbert started
for an old camping place, where they had left
some powder and a shot pouch. Carr told him
that he had seen signs of Indians, and begged
him not to 60. Colbert insisted on going. Dur
ing the afternoon, Carr heard three shots and
some Indian yelling. He was satisfied that they
had killed Colbert. The next morning, as Carr
had finished loading his rife, after cleaning it,
he looked up and saw about thirty Indians
few hundred yards Of coming towards him.
When the Indians discovered that he saw them.
they gave a whoop and spread out, with the
intention Of surrounding him. Carr turned and
run, leaping down an embankment. some ten or
hfteen feet. into creek. He followed up stream
until he found refuge under a log. The Indians
occupied few hours in passing and repassing
him, when. concluding he wasn't there, they
struck back from the creek into the bushes
Carr came out from his hiding place, and moved
further up the stream. where he hid himself
among the bushes. After q short time, be ven.
tused oct. when he suddenly came upon an In
dian. Before the Indian observed him, Carr
raised his rife and fred. which brought the
Indian from his horse. The shot aroused the
punuen. who. in their search Of the brush,
almost stepped on the object of their prey. Carr
was not in the least relieved by the discovery
that he had nothing 10 reload with. The red
skins gave mp the chase. and Carr started for the
settlement. The adventures and hair breadth
essspes Of hontsersmen will throw fiction in the
shade. and We understand Mr. Cars life aboupds
With them.

town, while tie train was lying in corral near
the suburbs, with very small guard, the most

to make 1t uncomfortable to stay long. seyera

The New York Daily NcDs, Richmond
paper published in New York, has contracted
the habit of finding fault with the President
and with everything he docs, TO such an ex.
tent, that gentlemen appointed by him to grave
and important trusts are not safe from its
fers to Mr.. HOsmer, the newly appointed chiei
Justice of Montana Territory, as wanting in
both knowledge and ability to discharge the
duties of his new office, and further says that
the appointment was one emlnently unfit to DC
made. To those who know Judge Hosmer
the statements of the Daily Neics will be neirt
indeed, The Copperhead editor could hardly
have selected an appolntee of the President to
whom the charge Of ignorance could be more
unjustly applied.
For sixteen years Judge H. practiced law in
the various courts Of Northwestern Ohio, and
during that time sustained a reputation for
legal talent and ability truly enviable. Ht
has also been an editor, author and lecturer
and has built up for himself a literary reputa
tion of q high order. His editorial writings
"The Octoroon," and his lecture on DR.. KanC
the Arctic explorer, all attest his ability.
with such requirements he is not capable @
discharging the duties of Chief Jus tlce Q
Montana; nay, more-lf he fails to win fc
himself new honors in that capacity, we sha
despair of any of the appointments made b
the President to that distant Territory.

POS II SCRIPT,
FIGHTING JOE At HIS OLD TRICKS.

The ''semi-oillcial" news announced above,
relates to the fight of last Wednesday. An
official dispatch from Gen. Sherman states
that after the battle of that day Gen. Howard,
commanding the 18th corps, sent word that he
had buried two hundred dead rebels in front
oil his lines and large number of wounded
were scattered upon the field.
Gen. Hooker, commanding the Goth corps,
in advancing his lines on Wednesday, met the
enemy in an open field, and a most desperate
battle, lasting several hours, was the result.
The enemy was thoroughly whipped and
driven from the field. After the battle Hooker
reported to Sherman as follows: 81 have buried
four hundred dead rebels and four Thousand
wounded lay in my 'front.'"

DEsERTER FROM FORREsT's
ARMY.

CAIRO, July 22.-The Memphis Bullctin, of
the Goth, has a statement, made before the pro-
vost marshal by Lieut.. Allen, deserter from
Forests command, who took the amnesty
oath, and Immediately left for his home in Ken
lucky.
he reports that Gen. s. d. Lee commands
Folks old department. Allen confirms the re-.
ported woundlng of Forrest at Tupelo.
The rebels lost 800 at the fight of Guntown
with sturgis. Col. Wisdom Is among the
killed. The most of this loss is attributed to
desperate lighting Of the negroes-nearly all
their victims being shot through the head and
breast.
Major Bradford, captured at Fort Pillow, has
been ordered to be shot by Forrest.
Allen knew nothing of the amnesty procla-
nation, and says the rebel soldiers are ignorant
of II.
The Southern people think that If Lee and
Johnston are defeated the rebellion will speed
lily terminate. They have little confidence In
Johnston, and are heartily tired of the dreadful
pressure they are subjected to.
Forrest got 5000 men in hls conserptIng

sr. LOUIS, July 2l.-The steamer Yellow
Stone, from the Upper Mississippi, reports
that Gen. sully's Indian expedition was at the
mouth Of Cannonball river, building o new
fort, to be called Fort Rice. Hostile Indians
were seen in force, between Fort Rice and Fort
Union, and large number are said to be some
miles back Of Fort Rice. The officers of'thC
boat say sully is severely condemned for inac-
tivity, he keeping his troops, 5000 in number,
building forts, when he ought to be hunting
and dispensing the enemy, and express the
opinion that he will not have collision with
the Indians. Father De Smet, who was aboard
the Yellow Stone, had two councils with 800
Sioux, near Fort Betholon, who expressed an
anxiety to make peace with the whites. Twenty
six men, Idaho miners, came down on the

Gen. Sherman has destroyed all the lines Of

will succeed in practically destroying the rebel
army, as well as capturing Atlanta.

Large Lot or Hay Destroyed.

Forty tons of hay, owned by Joseph Ken,
nedy, Esq, whose place is about a mile-and.a,
half northwest of Biadensburg, was burned BY

Two suspicious looking individuals had been
seen about the place for several days, and 1t is
supposed they committed the act, as tracks
were observed on the ground, and they have
not been seen since.
During the late rebel raid, this gentleman,
who is good Union man, was approached by
the rebels in their hunt for plunder. In
response to their inquiry whether he was a
Union man or not, he replied that he was, and
expected to die one. The rebels then said he
should not be hurt, and left without disturbing
him. After escaping the rebels, he has suffered
loss by these suspicious characters, who, 1t is
to be hoped, will yet meet with the punishment
they deserve.

New YORK, July 23.-The Herald publishes
q rebel dispatch from Atlanta, dated the 18th
instant, as follows; Telegraphic communlca-
tion with Montgomery was suspended last
night near Nolusulga. The interruption is
supposed to have been caused by portion Of
that part OF the enemy who were reported to be
at Talladega on Saturday. No train has ar
rived to-day from West Point. The main force
of the enemy crossed the Chattahoochie be-
tween Isham's fords and Roswell, and are
slowly pushing forward. Cavalry skirmishing
took place this morning at Buck Head, six
miles from this place."
This indicates the success OF Rosseau's cav
airy raid, which left Decatur, Tennessee, on
