"PresumsptiOn

Two weeks ago we took the privilege
of correcting the erroneous statement of
the Editor of the Herald, in regard to the
alleged "ill treatment of a drafted man,
by the Pro. Mar. of this Dist, and his
officials. The Editor feeling satisfied
that he had given publicity to that which
was not true endeavors tp sneak out Of
the matter by making an attack upon the
author Of the article in the CITIZEN.
The following is his language: 'The
writer in the CITIZEN was at that time
employed in the Provost Marshal's office,
and from his attempt to justify and be-
little the outrage referred to, the presump-
ton is raised that he was party to IT.
The man of the HerdH must certainly
have a very poor memory, or else he does
not wish to tell the truth we did not
state that,an outrage had been commit
ted, but stated very clearly that his
statement was untrue aud without found
alton, but the n,odet man must raise
presumption" that some body was, is
or ought to be guilty Of some crime or
misdemcanor in Office; he Sould he Ike
fish out of water, if he could not find
fault with the Pro. Mar. or some of his
subordinates. The writer of the article
referred toin the CITIZEN cares very little
what the Editor of tie HcraM may think
of his official acts while connected with
the Pro. Marshal's Office His "Presump-
tions" are ofvery little consequence upon
any subject, and the Presumption is
very strong. that if he would take truth
for his motto, he would be able to
state facts and not sneak along behind
"presumptions," and thus endeavor to
cast an untrue suspicion upon those, who
Gin the language of the bcoutttW sheet
which he publishes) Z" do the dirty work
about the Provost MarshaI's Office" If
"Mr Presumption wants any thing more
from the writer referred to, be can be ac-
-commodated by" Pitching in"

A FIGHT WITH INDIANS

The Loss of the Indians Heavy.

FoRT LARAMIE. July 27.-One thou
sand Gheyennes, Sioux, Arapahoes, Black
feet, and few Comanches, attacked
Platte Bridge Station on the telegraph
read on Tuseday. The garrison number
ed less than 250. The fight lasted two
days, aud resulted n a heavy loss to the
Indians. The loss on our side was Lieut.
Collins, and one enlisted man in the | 1th
Ohio Cavalry, 20 men of the 1lth Kan.
sas. killed, and 0 wounded. The Indians
retreated west, tearing down the telegraph
poles and destroying the wires.
A note was picked up on the battle
field, written by white prisoner recent
" on the South Platte, which. says the
Indians do not want Peace, but are fight
ing for all time. We had killed one of
their chiefs in fight, aud they are going
to destroy the telegraph and that they
expect reinforcements
The body of Lieutenant Collins was
horribly mutilated. His hands and feet
were cut off, his throat cut, and heart
torn ont lie Ers sealped, and had over
a hundred arrows in him.
There seems not the slightest disposi
ton on the part of the Indians for peace,
which en- only be obtained by severely
Furnishing thew.
One of the powder River columns is
now moving to join a force from Platte
Bridge, which is following the Indians
1t is stated all the troops intended for
the Indian Expedition would have been
in the field long ago had not the contrac-
tors failed to deliver supplies according to
the terms of their contracts.

southeruers Paying n orthcrn
Debts

Colonel Forney, in letter to the
Press, relates the following: Some
days ago, man rudely and careless
ly dressed came into Washington, on
his way to New York. lie had to
mske himself known to his old friends,
50 much had four years of suffering
changed his appearance. lie had
with him large amount of gold with
which to pay his creditors, from
whom he had purchased heavily be-
fore the rebellion. lie called upon
them. They, too, did not recognize
him. He did not intimate, after
telling them who he was, that he had
come back to square his accounts ;
but he asked them for new credit
1t was promptly rendered to him.
"We believe in you" they aid; "we
knew the day would come when you
wonld acknowledge your honest in
debtedness, and now we are ready to
start you again, so that you may be
what YOU we're in other days Had
they been rude or harsh had they
reminded him of his shortcomings,
and called him bard names, it was
his intention to pay them and buy
his goods elsewhere. They kept a
customer, and hcd friend to them
with hooks of steel. A gigantic eff
fort is now being made to rebuild aud
equip the great lines Of Southern
railroads, and Northern capitalists
have offered to undertake the work,
and to manage the ro2ds for a long
series Of years, on large advance
ppon thaproft3 which these thorough
fares vi lded before the war. Such
is one view of q national question
"a question of trade. 1t may be
doubted by hose who gloomily dwell
upon the picture of Sout .ern destitu-
ton, and speculate upon the recupe-
rate reanimate, Southern society and
commerce. But it is Il fact none the
less. This is the age of rapid events.
A sudden rebellion and sudden col
lapse will be 70 lowed by sudden re-
cOvery.

In Few WoRDs-The Government
and the people during the war pledged
each other that slavery should perish,
and in the suppression of the rebellion
the pledge has been redeemed. To main
tain the rights of the freedmen President
johnson will employ the whole power of
the Government if necessary. The facti-
Gus opposition of the diseomftted rebels
South, and their equally forlorn
friends North, won't amount to anything
The President is determined, and will
not allow the South to manage for them
selves until they sincerely adopt the re-
suits of the war as their policy. Wheth-
er it will be in one year or four must.be
determined by themselves. Self inter-
est will settle the entire question before
great while.

VIRGINIA ELECTIoNs.-If the peo-
pie of Virginia prefer to elect seces-
sionists to office, as it would seem.
they render the condition all the
worse. The Federal Government
will go right ahead fer all such OBJ
structions; and we have the very best
leas IN for believing that President
johnson will, in good time, let that and
every other State acting in the same
way, know that there is no humor to
be trifed with. The Old Dominion
will find that if the war has not been
fought through to the end-eyen the
"6itter" end-it surely will be, if she
SO wills it. The Presidents policy
rs to establish firmly and everywhere,
the principles for which the war was
waged.

The trial of Captain Henry Wirz,
late prison-keeper at Andersonville,
for cruelty and barbarity practiced
upon our prisoners confined at that
place, will furnish much material for
history. As many of our brave BOYS
thanks to good constitution, endur-
ed the dreadful sufferings imposed
on them at Andersonville, there will
be no lack of evidence to establish
the guilt of the accused. The inves-
tigation will, no doubt, embrace
the whole history of the prison,
from its establishment to its close,
and will reveal to what extent jeff.
Davis and his co-conspirators are
responsible for the systematic mur-
aer. of our soldiers at that place.
