"A Fight with Indians ON the Over
land Mail Route.

JULEsBURY, COLORADO, Jan. 9.-On Sat-
urday party of sixty Indians attacked the
Overland Mail Express coach three miles
east of here, and robbed the Mail Express.
They also attacked a mule train close by,
killing one man and wounding another.
The troops at the military post here, num-
bering from sixty to eighty men, imme-
diately started to the relief of the white
settlers in the vicinity, and drove the In
dians to the bluffs mile back, where they
were reinforced to the number of fifteen
hundred, and in turn drove the troops back
to the post. The Indians then entered the
stage station in large numbers, and after
destroying all the furniture and breaking
all the windows in the buildings, set them
OH fire. They also destroyeda large amount
of telegraph material. Awell directed fire
of musketry from the troops at the post
soon drove them from the station.
In the running fight on the retreat of our
troops, 50 Indians were killed. including the
principal chief. Nineteen soldiers and citi-
zens were killed. A general massacre and
destruction of the whites was only prevent
ed by the perseverance and bravery of our
troops and an efficient artillery fire. The
Indians retreated in southerly direction.
This is by far the most determined incur
sion made by the Indians.

Rebels EYncMnIing Richmond.

New YORK, Jan. 10.-The Herald's City
Point correspondent of the Sth says: Ma
ior General Butler has been removed by the
President from the position of commander
of the Army of the James and the Depart
ment of Virginia and North Carolina, and
ordered to report at Lowell, Massachusetts,.
The official document in the case directed
him to turn over his command to the per-
son named by Lieutenant General Grant as
his temporary successor. Gen. Ord, lately
in charge of the corps, has succeeded tenn
porarily to the important position.
The Tribune says Blair senior is in Rich
mond, and goes specially to see what can
be done in the way of peace. The Tribune
don think he will succeed, and urges fill
ing up our army and making short work of
the rebellion. Blair is not clothed with
any power from our Government, but we
infer he is authorized to ascertain whether
any true peace is now attainable.
The Herald's Winchester correspondent
details conversation with man recently
from Richmond, who says the rebels are
busy preparing for evacuation. Much Gov
ernment property and many officials have
been sent off to the interior. JEFF. has be-
come convinced that he cannot hold the
city much longer, and it is being mined.

..--e cent Gift OF u
City Lot,
&c.

Notwithstanding the unpropitlous STATE
of the weather. the attendance and pur.
chases at the Fair, yesterday and last even
ing, were quite encouraging. Especially
In the evening, there was much larger as.
sembly In the Hall than we expected to see
AS ON the previous evening, every one
seemed to be delighted with the social en-
joyment and pleasures Of the occasion.
The Lunch and Oyster stands were well
fitted up and duly replcnished, as well as
the Ice Cream stand. We would here call
attention to the fact that very agreeable
opportunity is offered each day, at noon
and early In the afternoon, for persons de-
string lunch, dish of oysters, or other
eatables, to step up to Naughton Hall
where they will find ladies ready and
pleased to wait upon them. At the same
time, they will be encouraging and assist
ing most worthy enterprise.
One of the great attractions of the Fair,
especially for young people, is the Post
office in the southeast corner of the Hail.
There correspondence is obtained from all
parts of the known world. The postage on
single letter is only ten cents. Some of
the correspondence is quite unique, and
creates fund of amusement. Don't forget
60 call at the Postofllcc.
Great liberality has been manifested in
making donations to the Fair. These we
may notice more particularly hereafter.
Yesterday, among other gifts, Lady's
Cloath Cloak of fine material and finish was
sent in. 1t is with pleasure that we here
record the munilicent gift to the Fair of a
City Lot by Mr.. Samuel Bartlitt, Of Canal
Winchester. The present was made through
Mr.. j. ii. Studer, of this city. The lot is to
be disposed of as the managers of the Fair
may decide. Mr.. Bartlitt executed the deed
yesterday, and placed it in Mr.. Studers
hands. The lot is situated on Oak street,
and is No. GO in Samuel Bartlitt's addition
to the City OF Columbus. 1t is valued at
five hundred dollars cash.
The Fair will continue through the re-
mainder Of this week, and perhaps longer.
The reader is reminded that the sole object
is to aid the Sisters of St. Francis, who have
founded hospital in our city, in their be-
nevolent and christian work of relieving
the destitute, the sick and afflicted.

THE Snow STORM YEsTERDAY-AccI-
DENT TO SALE STABLE.-Yesterday after
noon, we had second edition, though
somewhat modified, ofthe great snow storm
on Friday night. The wind blew violently
from the north and northeast, whirling
and drifting the snow as it fell. 1t was
literally binding to any one who attempted
to face it. 1t continued to snow until even
ing, when it ceased, but the wind still blew
keenly from the north.
We learn that during the afternoon the
roof of the Boarding and Sale stable, on the
south side Of East Town street, near the
Market House, fell in, and one of the sides
also fell down. We have not heard wheth-
er any of the horses in the stable were in
jured. Probably other accidents may have
occurred in the city from the violence of
the storm.

good many prophesies of mild winter this

to partake of the confusion, irreg ilarities

Grant did.
