DENVER CITY, April 14.-A detachment
of the 1st Colorado cavalry had fight with
party of Cheyennes on the north side OF
Platte river, near Fremont's orchard
eighty-five miles east of here, on the stage
road, on the 10Th. Two soldiers were killed
and four wounded, and several Indians kill
ed. Strong detachments of troops have
been sent in various directions against the
Indians. Some uneasiness is caused by the
conduct of the Sioux, Arrapahoes and
Cheyennes. They are making unusual eff
forts to obtain arms and ammunition. They
have recently stampeded several herds Of
cattle near here.
Very stringent orders have been issued
forbidding the sale of arms and ammuni-
ton to the Indians.
New Mexico papers of the I'd have been
received. No news of Importance. Gov
Goodman, of Arizona, with an exploring
party, had fight with the Indians on the
9th of February, killing five. Considera-

AT LoGGERHEADs.-Our two Abolition
cotemporaries in this city are at logger
heads on questiono of enterprise" the en-
terprise being the publication of list of
names written out by State official for one
Of them. The controversy is rather unin-
telligible-not to say uninteresting-to out
siders. They will soon get to calling each
other "disloyal," the last resort with people
of abolition politics, and the result will
then be horrible. Whenever the two Co.
lumbus abolition journals commence wash
ing their dirty linen before the public-as
the Cincinnati rivals occasionally do-the
public had better hold its nose.

The United States Treasurer to-day COM
menced paying interest on all coupons due

The House committee on Public Lands
have agreed to reporta bill giving addition

Stewards suggestion, that foreigners be al

The Commissioners of Internal Revenue
have decided that Communication money paid

also that the amount of income tax paid
cannot be deducted, though other taxes are

Worlds Special
The House Military committee decidedin
favor of bill increasing the pay of white
soldiers to SIG month, colored soldiers to
$l3 90. The majority are unwilling to put
them on an equality. The Senate Military
committee decided on the same rate fol
| each.
The Senate, at the instance of the Presi-
dent, will undoubtedly reverse the action
of its Military committee against the con-
frmation of Maj. Generals Schofield and
Gilmore.

with their friends in this vicinity, are as

If militia draft is ordered, in connection

now pending, it will not only add to the
existing complications and confusion, but
will injuriously effect the industrial inter-

DEMoNIAc' OUTRAGE.-The city Police
yesterday received dispatch from Kenton,
Hardin county, describing two men who
had committed demoniacal outrage near
that place the day before. 1t appears that
these fiends in human shape met boy upon
the highway, and prompted by spirit
which could scarcely belong to anything
human, dragged him to a secluded place
and emasculated him. The Sheriff of Har-
din county has informed all the officers
within his reach of the appearance of these
men, and 1t is hoped the measures already
taken will result in their capture. They
were supposed to be on their way to Marys-
vile, Union county.

WASHINGTON, A,

WASHINGTON, April IA.
SENATE-The bill to enable the people of
Nebraska to form constitution and State
government passed without amendment.
HoUsE-The House resumed the consid-
Grafton of the resolution to expel Mr..
Long.
Mr. Rogers opposed the resolution. Ad-
dressing the Republican side, he said :
"Don't come here to quote the example of
despotisms to be followed by those honest
men who have come here and sworn on the
Holy Bible to stand by the Constitution and
country to the last The men who, at mid
night, entered the domicil of Vallandigham
and tore him from his wife and family, are
among those who are destroying the rights
of the people under the Constitution, and
sweeping away public liberty The fanat-
les and despots, like Burnside, would 20
down to the grave into endless perdition,
and die worse than Napoleon, when a
wreck on a rock in the ocean.
There were men here who would main
tain their rights. They were not the rep
resentatives of old Abe Lincoln, but of the
not content with slandering Vallandigham
and other true patriots. God bless the ex-
lie. He prayed the arrow of Heaven would
pierce the heart of the despot. You are
bringing soldiers here to keep old Abra-
ham, King of America, from being en-
croached upon by JEFF. Davis, of the South
ern Confederacy. This is no longer coun-
try of republicanism but of monarchy and
despotism, and go, he said, for dissolu-
tion of the Union in preference to war of
determination. This fratricidal and ruin
Gus war should terminate.
He wanted the Union which gave us pros
perity and peace; he wanted the Union with
slavery, if necessary, or the Union without
slavery.
Mr.. Colfax rose to demand the previous
question.
Mr.. Pendleton said two or three gentle
men on the opposite side desired to speak.
Thep previous question should not be brought
to bear to control free speech. He there
fore appealed to Colfax not to make that
motion until others had been heard.
Mr.. ColfaX replied that his heart was dis
posed to accede to the request, but public
duty demanded that he should make the
motion. About twenty-six speeches had
been made, and both sides had been equally
heard. There were fifteen members who
yet desired to express their views. He call
ed attention to the fact that j. r. Giddings
was expelled under the previous question,
without an opportunity of being heard
He felt compelled to demand the previous
question.
Mr.. Cox moved to lay the resolution on
the table. Disagreed to by nine majority.
The resolution censuring Mr.. Long was
then adopted-S0 to 20.

From GEN. steele's Command.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, April 11.-Advices
from Gen. Steele to the 9TH are received.
His expedition reached a point five miles
south Of Elkins's Ferry, on the Little Mis-
souri, river, about twenty-five miles from
Camden, where he expected Gen. Thatcher,
with the Ft. Smith forces, to meet him next
day. On the I'd Shelby attacked Steele's
rear guard, under Gen. Rice, with twelve
hundred cavalry and two pieces of artille-
ry, and was repulsed with loss of one
hundred killed and wounded. Our loss
was forty-four killed and wounded and fif-
teen prisoners.
On the 4th Marmaduke was attacked with
three thousand or four thousand men and
five pieces of artillery, on the south side of
the Little Missouri. After five hours fight
ing he was routed with loss of four killed
and twenty-three wounded. Our loss was
twenty-three wounded.
There is large force of rebels five or six
miles from Steel's advance, but it is not ex-
pected they will make stand.
Nothing has been heard from Banks or
the gunboats.

French at the Mouth of the Rio

NEW YORK, April 14.-The steamer Gre
ole from New Orleans on the 9Th, has ar
rived. News mostly anticipated via Cairo.
Farragut was in the city.
The Era states that the Liberals, under
Cortenas, defeated Videurri at Monterey,
Mexico. French war vessels were taking
soundings at the mouth Of the Rio Grande.
Cortenas had returned to Matamoras, and
expressed his determination to defend it to
the last extremity. Forces had been sent
to Bagdad, at the mouth of the Rio Grande,
to oppose the French and throw up defen-
sive works.
Ten thousand bales of cotton had been
ferried over the river at Eagle Pass, within
month, and was being hauled down to
Matamoras for shipment.
At New Orleans cotton had advanced &c I;
middling scarce at Tic; sugar and molasses
higher.
Mexican advices via Havana state that
Juarez has gone to Durango. This place,
however, is in possession of the imperial
troops, the Mexican General, Pattoni, hav-
ing evacuated and marched northward to
Chihuahua. The reported capture of Qua
daljara is absurd. Gen. Uraga is in the
State of Jalesco doing nothing. French
frigates had left Vera Cruz with troops for
the mouth of the Rio Grande.
