The Indian Campaign.

The letters from Colorado Territory, to
the 18th Of August, give details of many
atrocities committed there by the Indians,
fights with army detachments, and attacks
on trains. A Denver letter Of the Sd says
On the 25th, at North Platte bridge, two
hundred miles northeast of here, one thOus-
and OF them attacked two hundred and fif-
ty soldiers, fought them two days, killed
Lieut.. Collins and twenty six privatcs, and
retired with heavy loss. East of here
they have appeared in large bodies, at DIFF
ferent points on the South Platte route,
killing people and running off stock. Last
Saturday they killed three men at Valley
station, one hundred miles from Denver
Senator Doolittle and party, who left here
by the stage on Friday, passed the bodies
the same day they were killed. and them
selves on Sunday had still narrower es-
cape. Just below Julesburg they came upon
the scene of the massacre while the warm
blood was oozing from the victims. In this
emergency the honorable Senator had been
advocating for the "poor friendless" that,
at the next military post, he refused to pro-
ceed until he was flrnihed with q double
escort and additional arms. But for the
rascality Of contractors, Gen. Connor would
have been in the field before this, and pre-
vented these bloody affairs; as it is, he will
be on the march in a few days, and then
the redskins will have their hands full to
act on the defensive.
A few days after the Indians made n sim
ultaneous attack all along the route of the
overland road, between Big Laramie and
Rock Greek, in which twelve white persons
were killed, one wounded and two captured.
Among the killed, were Sergeant Cooley,
1st Colored Infantry, and John Owens,
formerly of the I'd California Cavalry.
AT Maniels rancho the soldiers fought
the Indians from Q A. NJ, until dark. Many
Indians were believed to have been killed
and wounded. At Cooper's creek, the 9TH
Michigan Cavalry killed eight Indians
Several trains were robbed, stations burned
aud plundered, and quantity Of live stock
carried OF.
AT one place the Indians attacked single
emigrant wagon, coming mp and protesting
peaceable intentions, telling the old man
not TO be alarmed, as they would not hurt
him. When they arrived near enough a
single arrow was shot through his body,
killing him instantly. His wife and two
children we're killed, the body Of his wife
being shoekingly mutilated-our inform
ants say "literally disjoinied, her head
scalped, and skull stove in" Then they
| captured three females who were in the
wagon, aged, respectively, about II, Is and
% years Of age. Starting from the spot
they had gone about two miles when the
youngest girl continued to make an outcry,
had seven arrows shot into her and was left
to die The wounded girl was found and
taken to Laramie, where she received sur
gical treatment, and is now doing well with
n prospect e recovery. She is spoken oi
as being quit, intelligent and says the FIRST
arrow that EoNaded her was freddy white
man.

The Bohemans have made JEFF Davis the
subject OF many extravagant romances, and
as morbid credulity has accepted them all
as gospel truths, they feel themselves au-
thorized 10 continue their falsifcations TO a
still more extravagant extent. We unfor-
tunately copied one of those Bohemian pro-
ductions from the New York Herald in our
issue of yesterday, of which The following
is an extract:
saw gentleman in Norfolk the other
evening, who not long since had an inter-
view with Mr.. Howell, the father-in-law of
JEFF Davis, living at jackson Miss. lie
elected Mr.. Howell's opinion OF his dis
tinguished son-in law, in quiet and express
sive language.
'How do you feel towards JEFF. Davis,
your son-in-law?" asked this visiting stran-
ger.
'I want the id traitor hung, and the
sooner the BETTER" replied Mr.. Howell.
That this extract does not contain a par
ticle Of truth win be clear TO every one as
soon as the real facts are known. Mr.. VIM.
D. Howell, the father-in-law of JEFF Davis,
lived in this city from 1850 till the arrival
of the Federal feet in April 1862. He then
moved to Jackson Miss where he remained
about six weeks, when he accepted n situa-
tion under the Confederate Government, and
lived at Montgomery, Ala, from June 1862
till the llth of March, 1868, on which day
he died. Had we scanned the Bohemian s
production more fully before it appeared in
our columns we should have detected its
falsehood. and rejected it at once.-N o.
