INSULTING SwoRD.-A singular af
fair occurred recently at Vienna. A gem
tlcman and a lieutenant in the army
meeting in the street, the stick Of the
former struck, by accident, the sword of
the latter. Each party turned round,
apparently expecting the other to apollo
gizc, when at last the civilian remarked,
W by the deuce do you pass through
the streets with your spit sticking out in
such manner" 2" High words followed,
which ended in the officer prosecuting
his adversary for All insult to his mill
tary honor by an injurious epithet APP
piled to his sword. The president of
the police court, before whom the case
was brought, severely reproved the
civilian for the. expression used; and the
court, considering that the accused could
not be in the possession of his full men
tai faculties, admitted cxtenuating cir
cumstances, and condemned him to fine
of fifteen thalers (about two pounds).

4 TITLE WITH INDIANS.

A correspondent of the Colorado
Ne,rs, writing On the DIST ultiino, gives
all account Of a fight with the Indians
in that territory or State Eve 90 not
know what the Yankees call iD. The
writer kills the Indians awfully; but,
when we rccollect how those people
write, we may put down the dead red
skins at only few:
con the afternoon of the 2Sth, the en-
tire command reached Fort Lyon, dis
tance Of t,co hu2}dred undsirty miles, IN
less tham sir doys, and so quietly and ex-
neditiously had the march been made
that the command at the fort were taken
entirely by surprise. When the van
guard appeared in sight, it was reported
that q body of Indians was approaching,
and precautions were taken for their re-
cep.ion. No one upon the route was
permitted to go in advance Of the column,
and persons who it was suspected would
spread the news of the advance were
kept under surveillance until all danger
lroln that source was past.
" At Fort Lyon the force was strength
encd by about two hundred and fifty
men Of the First regiment, and at nine
O'Clock in the evening the command set
Oh: for the Indian village. The course
was due north, and their guide was the
Polar star. AS daylight dawncd they
came in sight Of the Indian camp, after
| forced midnight march of forty two
miles, in eight hours, across the rough,
unbroken plain But little time was re-
quired for preparation. The forces had
been divided and arranged for battle on
the march, and just as the sun rose they
dashed upon the enemy with yells that
would put Camanche army to the
blush. Although utterly surprised, tie
sayagcs were not unprepared, and lor
time their defence told terribly against
our ranks. Their main force rallied and
formed in line of battle on the bluifs be-
yond the creek, where they were pro
tectcd by rudely- constructed r'ifc-plts,
from which they maintained steady
fire until the shells from company Us
| Third regiment) howitzers began drop
ping among them, when they scattered
| and fought each one for himself, in gent
inc Indian fashion. AS the battle pro
gressed, the field Of carnage Wldened
until it extended over not less than
twelve miles Of territory. The Indians,
who could, escaped or seorcted them
selves; and by 3 o'clock in tho alter
noon the carnage had ceased. 1t was

it to its own inherent weakness as the

it to it's own inherent weakness as the
.incompctency Of its chief agent; nci-
thcr of which would bc true. 1t will
be time enough to discuss the cause
when the effect is produced, and if
VIC arc faithful, united and determined
that we can never be. In any event, this
dark hour is the last in which we will
saddle the President with the response
bility of all our misfortunes. In tho
first place, we do not believe he is re-
sponsible; in the next, whilst Abraham
Lincoln fancies he has bis clutches upon
his throat, we will not say-wc cannot
say with truth" Yes, Father Abra-
ham, that is the chief sinner; accept him
as a victim, and restore us to thy favor"
On the contrary, we can tell the Presi-
dent of the United States that we are all
as great offenders as the President of the
Confedcracy, who is but our servant and
our agent and that if this war of de-
fence has been conducted with as signal
humanity and moderation as skill and
valor it is because our servant and our
agent has steadily maintained, under the
most extraordinary provocation, the hui
manity and moderation of the Southern
character.
But if Jefferson Davis cannot claim
the credit Of inaugurating this Revolu
tion; if he is but the honorod instrument
selected by the people themselves for
their chief; if he has manifested per-
sistent desire to harmonizc and alleviate
the horrors Of war, nc has conducted his
administration Of affairs with as much
Judgment, energy and devotion to the
cause as any other man who could have
been selected for his position. Who
| could have done better? Let us hear
the name Of the man, and also the rea-
son why the public intelligence did not
select that man for the Presidency in =
stead Of the present incumbent? We
have no doubt that We did the best we
could in making Mc. Davis President, and
! that he has tried to do the best he could
in the Presidency. We see no more
reason in attributing to him all the dis
aSters in the y est than all the g!ories in
the East. II We arc true to ourselves,
the Ship Of State vii! yet ride the waves
buoyant and victorious; but if she goes
down, let us refrain from pelting the
helmsman, whom we ourselves put at the
wheel Of ship which We ourselves built
and launched, and meet our fate with at
least the foctitude and resignation OF
Turks, if not of Christians.

hundred of the sayages got away with
their lives. OF the balance, there were
neither wounded nor prisoners. Their
strength at the beginning of the action
was estimated at nine hundred.
"The village consisted of one hundred
and thirty Cheyenne and eight Arapahoe
lodges. These, with their contents, were
totally destroyed. Among their effects
were large supplies of -four. sugar, cof-
fee, tea, etc. Women's and children's
clothes were found also, books and
many other articles, which must have
been taken from captured trains or
houses. One white mans scalp was
found, which had evidently been taken
but few days before. The Chiefs fought
with unparalleled bravery, falling in
front of their men. One of them charged
alone against a force of two or three hun
drcd, and fell pierced with balls far in
advance of his braves
"Our attack was made by five batta-
lions. The First regiment, Colonel Chi
vington-part of companies G, d, e, G,
II and K, numbering, altogether, about
two hundred and fifty men-was di-
vided into two battalions; the First un-
der command Of Major Anthony, and the
Second under Lieutenant Wilson, until
the latter was disabled, when the com:
mand deyolved upon Lieutenant Dunn.
The three battalions Of the Third, Colo
mel Shoup, were led respectively by
Lieutenant Colonel Bowen, Major Sayr
and Captain Cree. The action was@be-
gun by the battalion of Lieutenant VII
son, who occupied the right, and by a
quick and bold movement cut off the
enemy from their herd of stock. From
this circumstance we gained our great
advantage A few Indians secured horses,
but the great majority Of them had to
fight or fly on foot Major Anthony was
on the left and the Third in the centre.
Among the killed were all the Chey-
enne chie(s-Black Kettle, White Ante.
lope, Little Robe, Left Hand, Knock
Knee, One Eye, and another, name un-
known. Not single prominent man Of
the tribe remains, and the tribe itself is
almost annihi}ated. The Arapahoes.
probably suffered but little. 1t has been
reported that the chief, Left Hand, of
that tribe, was killed, but Colonel Chi.
vington is Of the opinion that he was not.
Among the stock captured were uun-
Der of Government horses and mules, in
Guiding the twenty or thirty stolen from
the command of Lieutenant Chase, at
Jimmy's camp, last summer.
"The Indian camp was we'll supplied
with defensive works. For half mile
along the creek there was an almost con-
tinuous chain Of rihe-pits, and another
similar line q works crowned the ada
cent bluff. Pits had been dug at all the
salient points for miles. After the battle,
twenty three dead Indians We're taken
from one of these pits, and twenty-seven
from another.
Whether viewed as march or as a
battle, the exploit has few, if any, paral-
lels. A march of two hundred and sixty
miles in but fraction more than five
days, with deep snow, scanty forage and
no road, is remarkable feat, while the
utter surprise of large Indian village
is unprecedented. In no single battle in
North America, we believe, have so many
Indians been Slain"

THE GEORGIA MILITIA. - Governor

The GEORGIA MILITIA. - Governor
Brown has furloughed the new regiment
recently organized at Macon. A CORE
spondent ofthe EnQu;rer, writing on the
10th ultimo, says:
"The Governor reviewed our regiment
at halcpast II o'clock, and afterwards
made us a short, but pointed, speech. |
will not attempt to give a synopsis of
his remarks for want Of space. lie sends
all of us home On and after tomorrow.
There was not wet eye visible in the
entire regiment. The Governor, it is
thought, made many vote by that little
speech. He said we could go home now,
but twould remain subject to another call
when the State required our services in
the field. lie hoped it would not be
soon, however. All dclinquents are to
be tried by military court:martial, to
st in Ma on; aud, if found guilty, the
pains and penalties Of desertion will be
visited upon them. He complimentcd
the Georgia militia, and said he had been
assured by distinguished Confederate
general that they fought and won the
bloody battle Of Honey Hill, South Caro-
lima that the cncmy's loss there was
fully one t. ousand that he counted on
the field one hundred dead negroes and
whites. We are to keep our organiza-
ton intact, our powder dry, and to re
spond promptly whenever call is made. y

ON PEACE.

The Washington Chronicle 09th) has
liberal and creditable editorial on the
people Of the South, entitled Worthy
Thought" After asking the question, if
the people Of the South are 50 tired of
the war why do they fight with such
tenacity? it answers it by reference
to the social influences and their high
sense OF honor. 1t AYERS that no gentle
men could be more agreeable and no
ladies more fascinating. 1t closes as fol-
lows:
@-~ Personal honor was the absorbing
passion Of the Southerner's lifc The
standard may have been faulty, but was
rigidly adhered to. Such men may be
heartily sick of strife, but they will
not abandon those engaged in it. They
may long for the close of the war, but
they will not desert their colors. They
may deplore the necessity for the dread
onsets of forlorn battle-tields, but once
On them they will conquer or die.
Gas dcscrters or willing captives, they
know they will be ostracised from the
homes Of the friends they love when the
contest is over. Hence the war will be
continued and desperate battles be fought
until, by common consent, the struggle
is regarded as utterly hopeless, or until
such terms arc offered as they feel at
liberty to accept.
"Shall VIC deal with them as pluc+y
but er'ing brethren, whose sense of
honor, defective as we may think it, must
be respected, and whose pride of charac-
ter should not be broken down; or shall
we undertake to regard them as lawlcss,
defiant rebels, who arc to be humblcd, if
not exterminated? Do we not want
these courageous mcn-thcse enduring,
high spirited men-to unite with us in
laying, broad and deep, the foundations.o OF
a democratic society that, under the in
spiration of free institutions, shall throw
all our past prosperity, brilliant as it
was, in the shade?"
