THE GREAT INDIAN EXPEDITION.

1t is probable that severe Indian war will
be waged along the Upper Missouri the coming
summer. At the last accounts from Fort Union
at the mouth of the Yellow Stone. the Sioux and
Assiniboines were threatening the Fort, and
with the Crows were preparing 10 destroy the
steamers on the Upper Missouri. A large In
dian force had gathered within some so miles of
Fort Union, and also on Powder Creek, empty
ing into the elbow Stone. This concentration
of warriors is in Eastern Idaho, and serious ap-
apprehensions are apprehended of Indian raids
on mining emigrants aud settlements.
In anticipation of hostilities, Gen Pope, who
has charge of the Northwest Department, has
ordered strong force into the Idaho country
The Indian expedition is being fitted out at St.
Louis, and the entire business of organizing the
mammoth enterprise is conducted by Brig. Gen.
Sully, with headquarters in that city. The ex-
peditiop will number three thousand cavalry or
mounted infantry with eight OF ten pieces of
cannon, and such force of friendly Indians, con-
sisting of the AIandans, Rees, Crows, Delawares
and Shawnees as Gen. Sully can secure to act
either as scouts spies or warriors. The object
is to rid if possible the entire territory west Of
the Missouri river of the hostile savages and
have it free from danger for the occupation OF
the thousands OF emigrants fiocking to the dis
trict where gold and silver abound. Gen. Sui
ly intends to establish military posts from Ida
no TO the Missouri river and across to Mime
sofa 1t is also stated that letters from well in
formed parties in Washington say that Con-
gress will appropriate 100000 to open the Min
nesota route to Idaho, aud that Captain Fisk
will be appointed Colonel, and lead another eX-
pedition starting from st. Paul about the lst of
June Gen. Sully will leave St Louis for ac-
tive duties in the field about the LIST of May

National Guard of Ohio Called Out.

Our citizen soldiers viii find an important
Military Order in our columns to-day. Adju-
tant General Cowen has made call on the reg
iments, battalions and independent companies
of the National Guard of Ohio to enter the field
of active service for the term of one hundred
days, unless sooner discharged. The organiza-
tions are to rendezvous in their respective coun-
ties on Monday, May I'd, and report to the Ad-
jutant General by telegraph the number of men
present for duty.
The object in calling out the National Guard
is to relieve the Veteran Regiments from post
and garrison duty, and allow them to engage in
the more arduous labors of the field. Let the
National Guard rally with alacrity at the call of
the country.
The 5Oth Regiment, Col. Nat. Haynes, of this
county are now making active preparations to
obey orders. The Regiment viii rendezvous

FTFNDTSH.

''On Tuesday night, the 18th instant, the no.
torious bushwhacking gang of Shumate and
Clark went to the house Of an industrious, hard
working German farmer named Kuntz, who lives
some twenty-five to thirty miles from the mouth
of the Usage river in Missouri and demanded
his money Kuntz had saved some money for
the express purpose OF sending for his family to
come over from the old country to his new home.
He stoutly denied having any cash, but the
fiends not believing him, or perhaps knowing
that be did have some money, deliberately took
down wood saw, which was hanging up in the
cabin and co1 his left leg three times belol0 and
four times aboUe the Icaee ,oits the sao. Loss of
blood. pain and agony made the poor fellow in
sensible. and he was unable to tell where the
money was concealed. His mangled body was
found the next day, life extinct. A boy who
lived with him succeeded in making his escape
terror-stricken, to give the alarm. After leav-
ing kuntz, the gang went to an adjoining Amer
lean farmer, whose name was unable TO learn,

twill be observed that our banks and busi-
ness men have decided to exclude Eastern Cur
rency. For this course the following reasons
may be given:
lst. 1t is necessary, because all Ohio, North,
East and South of us, have already taken this
step. If foreign currency were tolerated here
we should soon have no other.
I'd. This course will drive out the dirty rags
which every body regards as nuisance.
Sd. If the whole west takes this course as it
will, it will tend to make paper money better by
decreasing the amount in circulation.
1t is not to be understood that Eastern Cur
rency is worthless, but that it is worth less than
United States Notes, or National Currency, or
Ohio, orr Bank of the State of Indiana, because
redemption cannot be obtained at such a dis
tance without loss.
Go on with the reform we say.
