FoRr LARAMIE, July ~.

One thousand Cheyennes, Sioux, ARA
, pahoes, Blackfeet and few Camanches
attacked Platte bridge on the telegraph road
on Thursday. 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 enlisted man Of the 18th Ohio cavalry,
IS men of the 18th Kansas killed and 9
wounded. The Indians retreated west

troying the wires A note was picked up
on the battle field written by white pris
oner, recently captured on the south Platte
which says the Indians do not want peace,
but are fighting for all time; that we had
killed one Of their chiefs in the tis hit, and
they are going to destroy the telegraph,
and they expect achievements. The

ted. His hands and feet were cut off, his
throat cut and his heart torn out. He was
sca'ped and had over one hundred arrows
in him. There seems not the slightest dis.
position on the part Of the Indians for
peace, which can only be obtained by Sc
verely Furnishing them.
One of the Powder river columns is now
moving to join the force from Platte bridge
which is following the Indians. 1t is sta
ted that all troops intended for the Indian
expedition would have been in the field
long ago had not the contractors failed to
deliver supplies according to the terms Of
their contract.

TnE New York Tribune, in defending the
Secretary, makes the following extraordi-
nary statement, which cannot be too attcn-
lively considered: -...
"Mr. McCuloch is borrowing some $780,
100000 per week-every dollar he can get,
even at the high interest Of 7 80 per cent
and he is every day drawn upon for every
cent he can raise, and more too. Vast
armies are being mustered out and paid Oft
continually, requiring millions upon mil
lions not to speak of the very large force
kept in service. Day by day the Secretary,
with Mr.. Jay Cookies efficient aid, is doing
, his very best to meet demands upon him;
yet we see that he is compelled, with five
or six millions of revenue and twenty mil
lions of loans per week, to pay three. fourths
Of the large demands upon him in certiti
Gates ofindebtedness in other words, to
give his due bills for six. nine, and twelve
months, because he cannot pay down.
While he is thus sweating and contrivng
to get on from day to day, he is impressive,
ly counse'ed to set about reduction OF the
excessive volume Of cur currency-which
he can and will do whenever his daily re.
cdipts from all sources exceed his expendi.
lures and no Necker, no Colbert, could
do it one minute before. He has little or
no control over the amount of his outgoes-
the other depal tinents draw on the treasury.
which he must pay so fast as he can collect
or borrow tbs money; when he can pay no
otherwise, he ekes out his deficiencies by
issuing certificates to needy creditors. To
ask him TO contract and lessen the cur
rency is as preposterous as il one had asked
Noah. on the twentienth morning Of the
deluge, TO stop the rain few days to let
the waters dry off and the roads become
passable."

Judge Thompson, of Pennsylvania, in re-
cent decision, gave expression to the following
noble sentiments
"The writ OF habeas corpus is the argel of
safety in civil society. No man can now. as
in olden times, be carried off at the will of
any authority and consigned to the cells Of
dungeon to linger out Lille in waiting for mercy
without hope of justice. Authority must
now be ready to disclose upon the challenge
of the writ Of habeas corpus, why, AMI where
fore, the citizen is held in custody, AMI he
who denies it, be he high or low. the Presi-
dent Of the United States, or a cOporal of the
quad commits a dangerous ofense against
society. unless there be reason for its suspen-
sion and actual suspension of it. Indeed,
look upon an attack Of the privilege Of the
writ to be more dangerous than an attack on
life itself, by just the difference between an
inreparable injury to one and an irreparable
injury 70 ALL"
People say they shell peas, when they un-
shell them that they husk corn when they
unhusk it /; they dust the furniture when they
undust it, or take the dust from it; that they
skin calf when they unskin it and that they
scale fish when t..ey unscale them. Ihave

SOUND ADVICE FOR AUTUMN WEATHEB


That's it, that's it!
Just listen 4 bit!
From the folks ut the Great Oak Hall
Comes a word of advice,
so sound and nice
For the present season or fall.
Button your coat
Up TO your throat,
And see that you're warmly clad,
Or with cold in your head
You'll be sick in bed,
Which will be exceedingly bad.
And you'll stay in bed,
With the cold in your head,
And compelled to be somewhat quiet
Till you've had enough
OF the DEBTORS stuff,
And all sorts of sick folks diet.
Better beware
And always take care
To be properly clad for the fall,
In suitable clothes,
Such as those
Which are sold at the Great Oak Hall.
Clothing to suit every body, fashionable anC
cheap. Smith Bros. q Co, merchant taIlors
