Reports just received from Denver and
the gold regions say the most serious APP
prehensions are felt there and upon the
great overland route as the Indian bands
assembled at Fort Laramie at the peace
treaty have taken to the war-path. All
reports agree that band of 600 Sioux
were in the vicinity of MCPHERSON, and
had passed there, well armed and with
plenty of ammunition, which they obtain
ed while at the peace treaty ut Fort Lara
ME.
Upon the Little Blue, 80 miles west of
this place, a band Of Cheyennes have been
numbering settlers, setting fire to their
houses, stealing and running off their cat
tie. The inhabitants are abandoning their
homes and crops, and are returning to the
river settlements. The whole region be-
tween the Kansas and Plat is over-run
with hostile bands, who are now assuming
the offensive.
The number in the bands now On the
rampage is estimated at 10000, the coun-
Gil at Laramie having gathered them all SO
as to perfect their plans. Depredations
have already commenced. Bands of Sioux
and Chcyenncs have attacked and killed
whites on the plains since their return
from Laramie. Unless large force is at
once sent to the fron i,r there will be a
vast amount of suffering and many lives
lost The danger is great, and causes inn
mense excitement among the frontier peo-
pie.

Colfax is rc-nomnated for Congress-
Col. Fitch, the ablest and most satirical
stumper. in the state, will probably be his
opponent. Col. Eddy deserves the nomi-
nation, but he is quiet man., and as he
was only wounded at IuKA, Sept. 90, 1862,
he would stand poor show against the
stav-st-hene, .know=nothing, Fenian SYM
pathizer who has grown rich out of the
blood of his countrymen and the scdulous
pursuit Of office. As Colfax was elected
over. Turpic by only few votes, we are
hopeful that Fitch or Turpic will lay on
the shelf an ovcr-rated political schemer
who has the impudcnce in his letter of &C.
ceptancc to state that his race with al OPP
ponent will be only "a question of loyalty
sainss disloyalty." We know Colfax
since 1886; like him some but when such
parrot Of pretension talks about the
'disloyalty" of Col. Fitch, the shoulder
broken Col. Eddy, the noble soldier Gen.
Manson, and the numerous other heroic
democrats of the state whose lives and for
tunes were hazarded in the field, we think
it is about time to tell what the stingy
Speaker Of the House amounts to.

RED RIDING HOOI

RED RIDING HOOD.
We know the simple story
About Red Riding Hood.
How all alone 10 grandma's
She jouneyed through the wood,
And the little basket carried,
All In the morning bright,
With the golden balls Of butter
Beneath the napkin white.
She must have thought Of grandma
While walking In the shade,
How lovingly and gladly
She'd greet her little maid;
When she her basket opened,
How pleased the dame would be,
To see the little present
Put up so carefully.
And then the sad deceiver,
The wolf with cruel eyes
The simple child confiding,
More innocent than wise,
Naught knowing Of the danger,
Nor fearing in the way,
The little story tells us,
Falls to his wiles al prey.
II is n mournful story
But, like Red Riding Hood,
All we poor little children
Are walking in the wood
Our path is vey pleasant,
But set with many snare;
The wolf Is watching for US;
D, little ones, beware.
