MIDNIGHT REPORT.


Cen. Palmsr Sustained.
LOUISVILLE, Dee. g.
The Jefferson City circuif, in the case of
the Commonwealth against Mai Gen. J. N.
Palmer, for aiding slave to escape, Judge
Johnston dismissed the Indictment on the
ground that the requisite number of States
had adopted the Constitutional amendment
before the indictment, therefore all criminal
and penal acts of the Kentucky Legislature
relating to slavery were of no effect. r
Gen. Palmer has issued proclamation that
slavery has ceased to exist in Kentucky, and
advises colored people to apply promptly to
the Courts for redress, if public conveyance
shall disregard their rights to leave at pleasure,
provided they conform TO reasonable regula
tions.

COL KInBALL KILLED Br THE INDIANS.
We learn from Mr.. Griffith. formerly of this
city, and who has just arrived from Montana
territory, of the murder of Col Kmball by a
party of hostile Indians.
Colonel kimball and party Of miners wer&
out on a hunting excursion on the GsIlatirl
river, last September, and unfortunately came
across party of hostile Indians. The latter
approached them until within gun shot, when
they threw down their guns as a sign Of friend
ship. Col. kiniball remarked to his party
that he would ''go and see them The mi
ners demonstrated with him and told him they
were treacherous foes, and he would be killed;
but not needing their advice, he started for
them, and when within rod they drew their
bows and let fly their arrows, three Of which
struck and killed him. The miners then fred
on the Indians, killing several, and had to rnn
to escape with their own lires. 9Na
This will be sad news to Col. Kmballs rel
atives and many friends in this State. The
Colonel was we'll known in North Missouri az
having raised and commanded the gallant 3jth
regiment of Missouri votunteers.- Jesepk

JuIEsBURG, C. T., June is, 1865.
Two or three days ago, a company of

friendly Indians down from Laramie, aud
on arriving at SCOTS Bluffs, the Indians

part of 1t, escaped across the North
Plate. Lieutenant Colonial Walker,
with six companies 10Th, aud a aetalch-
ment of compony H, 18th, with a how
itzer battery, was sent in pursuit from
this point-nearIy one hundred miles
from where the Indians crossed, and two
or three days behind them. Four com.
panies of the 10Th are still here, two of
them, however, will start with subsis-

a day or TWO. if trains arrive from Den

The Convention passed resolutions
giving God thanks for the overthrow Of
the rebellion l~amenting the cruel death
of President Lincoln indorsing the pol

freedom and free institutions that, while
we are anxious for An early reconSIruc-

reasonable Limitation should be placed
where it can be legally done-around mo-
nopolies; and. if such a limitation does
exist in the case of grist mills, no one is
to blame but the man who suffers if be
does not apply the remedy,
Millers who practice this "gouge
game" will be injured by it more, in the
long run, than benefited. Already has
the idea been discussed among farmers
of building a mill Of their own. The
same thing has been successfully tried
in the States. We believe that $4,000

ciently posted to say e~xaclly--but at
these figures il could not help buI be a
good investment, as there is no farmer
bat would save double the interest on his
money (SlO) every year, and his prin-
cipal be safely invested. What stand.
in the way of success in this projects
nothing bat a lack of cooperation and
confden among those most interested
and every exhorbitant toll will increase
the chances Of success in the matter OF
a farmers mill. The project would be
much easier of execution If there were
a Farmers Club in operation in each
Precinct. We cannot for the life of Us
see why such a large interest as that Of
the farmers in this county is neglected
by those so vitality Interested. As it is
their influence and strength is that Of a
mob compared to a well disciplined army.
