Such villainy must be stopped, and If the

THE STATE CONVENTION.

We have cot room this week for the pro-
eeedings of the State Convention. 1t was
the best and most honest convention ever
held in the State We have only room for
the ticket nominated, which Is as follows !:
For Presidential Electors, Nelson McCrack
en- of Leavenworth, Robert McBratney of
junction City, Z. Cheesebrough of Atchi-
son for Member of Congress, Sidney
Clarke, of Lawrence for Governor, Sam
mel ]. Crawford, (Of the Union army, from
Anderson county for Lieutenant Govern
or, James McGrew, of Wyandott; Secre-
tAry Of State, r. A. Barker. of Atchison ;
Auditor, J R. Swallow. of Emporia; Treas
urer. William Spriggs, Of Anderson ; At
toruey General, j. Brumbaugh, of Mar
shall; Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton, l. T. Goodnow, Of Manhattan Judge
Supreme Court, Jacob Stafford, of Topeka.
The ticket, with two or three exceptions,
We regard as a most excellent one. The
nominee for Governor we can endorse with
all our heart. Mr. Crawford We regard as
one of the best young men in the State. He
has not been mixed with the political feuds
Of Kansas. When the war broke out he was
. member of the Legislature from Auder-
son county. He dropped all and rushed TO
the field. He was Captain in the old Kan
SIS Second. and always sustained the char
actsr of good man, and brave soldier.
He participated in tie bloody conflict of
Wilson's Greek. When the Second Col
ored regiment was raised, he was appointed
ilS Colonel, and has been in many engage
ments since then. We believe him to be
an honest man and patroit

Indian News.

There is nothing of very great importance
from the Indian country.
We are informed that the settlers in Ma
rion county, west of here some sixty miles.
are leaving their homes and coming this
way for protection. Some men hqvs already
arrived here and are lookingup winter quar-
lers. Mr.. Drinkwater, of Cedar Point,
informs us that the people in the upper part
of Chase county are preparing to leave their
homes out of fear of an attack.
The latsst news from Gen. SulIy's Indian
expedition in the Northwest, is that be had
a fight with about FIVE thousand of them
on Knife river on tie 25;h. The Indians
were defeated with loss of one hundred
and fifty. Our loss was FIVE killed and
twenty or thirty wounded. Sully pursued
the enemy to the wooded hills, where it is
supposed they will resist his further ad-
vance.
Fort Union was attacked by siouz on
the Goth of July. They were defeated.
The Atchison Free Press says the scare
at Omaha proves to have arisen from the
trivial circumstance that few friendly In
diaus were employed By herd men to assist
them in driving some cattle on junction Is
land Some persons seeing the Indians
driving the cattle, supposed they we're steal
ing them; and soon it became reported that
hostile Indians had driven off several hun
dred head of stock. The whole eommuni-
ty became alarmed.
The Indian expedition which was being
organized at Atchison aud LsavenWortb by
portions of the State militia, has been aban-
doned.

Another chapter 10 the depravity of hu-

and driving cattle from the Indian country
From what we are able to gather, this traf

" of the scheme is of such a character,
and practiced with such shamelessness, that
it DO longer escapes the attention of those

some traits of character hitherto found on

The persons who have lately been en-

claims (though sIim) to responsibility.
