NASHVILLE, July 2S.
This mornings Press publishes letter from
General Thomas to. Governor Brownlow.-
Gen. Thomas says: I am only waiting the re-
port from Col. De Massey to determine nv
course ,as to Emerson Etheridge. IF he has
been guilty of the language charged against
him, he is clearly answerable to the military
authorities in the absence of the civil, and is
liable to be tried before military commission
My attention has been called to the speeches
OF other parties, but as yet / have not seen
any report that would Justify the interference
OF the military authorities. If, however. there
be, in the Judgment of the Government, at
any time, anecessity for such interference in
consequence of the Inability or indisposition
on the part of the civil authorities of the StBte
to take action. By the expression of such a
desire on the part of the Governor, stating the
inability or indisposition of the civil authori-
ties to act win be sufficient, and l will cause
the parties complained of to be attended to
according to the nature of their case The
State Of Tennessee is under martial law, but
the military authorities viii not be resorted to
unless the civil authorities fail to act, either
from inability or indisposition. Even in event
of the failure of the civil authorities to do their
duty, the military should refrain from inter
fering in all minor cases, because the military
should, as far as possible, sustain the civil gov
eminent, and never assume its function I'M
less in cases in which prompt action is neces-
sary to insure public safety.

Indian Troubles.

FORT LARAMIE, July 81.
A thousand Cheyennes, Sioux, Arrapahoes,
Blackfeet and few Camanches attacked
Platte Bridge Station, on the telegraph road.
The garrison numbered less than $50. The
fight lasted two days and resulted in heavy
loss to the Indians. The loss on our side was
Lieut. Collins and one man killed and Thirty
four wounded. The Indians retreated to the
west, tearing down the telegraph poles and
destroying the wire. A note was picked up on
the battle field written by white prisoner re-
Gently captured on the South Platte, which
says the Indians do not want peace, but FIGHT
ing for all time; that we had killed one of
their chiefs in the fight, and they were going
to destroy the telegraph, and that they expect
ed achievements. k gr
The body of Lieut.. Collins was horribly
mutillated. His hands and feet were cut off
his throat cut and his heart torn out There
seems to be not the slightest disposition for
peace on the part of the Indians, which can
only be obtained by severely Furnishing them.
One of the Powder River columns is now NOV
ing to join the forces from Platte Bridge.
which is following the Indians. The expedi-
ton would have been in the field long ago had
not the contractors failed to deliver supplies
according to the terms of their controcts.

Mr.. EDIroR:-In your report Of the doings
ofthe Ecclesiastical Council yesterday you state
truly that there was but one essential point OF
difference. viz: the future condition of the
wicked. 1t was SO understood, think, by the
large audience assembled. In reading the
"Result Of Council, notice with much sur
prise that the Committee, in drawing up that
paper, late in the evening, have inserted an
other point, respecting the heather, which
was so presented and explained by Mr.. Wal
ton, that it received no notice nor animadver-
sion from any Of the able speakers while urg-
ing their objections to him.
1t seems to me hardly fair to insert in the
Result" this point, (even if the candidate, in
his generous and whole-soule magnanimity,
made no objection) because it may be magni-
fed and distorted into an important error, and
one reason for rejection, when in the discuss
ion it was not alluded to, and was passed over
as of no importance at all. 2e4
