Very Sensational.

Those who have taste for the horrible
will find satisfaction in a new Washington
rumor to the effect that the secret mission
of FRED. SEWARD on the steamer Gettys-
burg is for the purpose of intercepting the
Swatara, and offering to JOHN SURRArr the
promise of a pardon from President JoHN-
SON if he will not implicate the President
in the assassination of Mr.. LINCOLN Young
SEWARD is supposed also to have filial
motive for wishing to induce SURRATT tc
keep silence, as it is part of the horrible
theory that Secretary SEWARD was in the
assassination plot.

Cause ofIndian Troubles.

General SHERMAN, in the report of hi,
tour of inspection in August last, says, in &
letter from Fort Laramie:
Ever since the California emigration thi,
road has been Travelled as common US the
old national road, and the Indians kept
clear of it; since then all the Sioux have
been driven west from Minnesota and the
Missouri River, and the mountain region OF
Montana, Colorado and Utah is being set
tied up with gold miners and rancheros, SO
that poor Indian finds himself hemmed in
The Indian agents over on the Missouri tell
him TO come over here for hunting, and
from here he is turned to some other
quarter; and so the poor devil naturally
wriggles against his doom. The settle
ments of Montana and Colorado seem now
TO be too strong for the Indians, who turn
on our roads, when the trains string out
and men scatter and straggle from the
trains. Everybody, by travelling days and
weeks without seeing an Indian, thinks il
all humbug, and rides off ways and finds
himself surrounded and gone"

in field near Richmond, Indiana, which
was identified as that of Mrs. Mary Davis,
wife of John B. Davis, at that time shoe
maker in Richmond, and it was believed
she had been murdered. There was an in
surance on her life in the Connecticut Mu-
tual Life Insurance Company for S2.5OO and
in the New York Life Insurance Company
for $4,000. The New York Company paid
the amount of the policy to the guardian
of Mrs. Davis children, but the Connecti-
cut company refused TO pay on the evidence
of death produced, and, suit being COM
menced against them, they succeeded in
tracking Mrs, Davis TO Greensburg, West
moreland county, Pennsylvania, where she
was living and Davis had Joined her. The
body found appears to have been that OF
some woman who died about the time OF
the supposed murder, and had been disin-
TERED and dressed in the clothing of Mrs
Davis. The New York company has sued
the guardian to recover the amount paid on
their policy before discovery of the con-
spiracy.
