Red Warriors Still on the warpath.

| TOPEKA KANSAS, Feb. 4.-The report of
the late Indian massacre has been confirm
ed by letter received by Governor Craw-
ford from well-known citizen Of Salina,
Kansas.
The massacre occurred in the vicinity of
Sand creek, en- route from Fort Riley to
Fort Lincoln. The train is spoken of as
Government train, and only four out of
slXty-tive men escaped.
The letter further states that small bo-
dies of Cheyennes have been several times
near the settlement and the Arrapahoes
have passed through the settlements, be-
ing afraid to go home by their usual routes
across the headwaters of the Salina and
Solomon forks.
The Kaws also report large bodies of
hostile Indians near the frontier settle
ments.
1t is the writer's opinion that the In
dians will confne their depredations to the
travelled roads.
Advices from the Platte state the force of
Indians that has moved South on the war
path at twelve thousand.
There are not United States troops
enough in this part of the country to cope
with this force.

L" 90 1T ALONE"
BY JOHN G.. SAKE.

There's game much in fashion, think its called
euchre,
Though I've never played it for pleasure or lucre,
In which when the cards are in certain conditions,
The players seem to have changed their positions.
And one of them cries in confident tone,
s. think l might venture to go it alone"
While watching the game. 'tis whim of the bards
And moral to draw from the skirmsh in cards,
And fancy he finds in the trivial strife,
Some excellent hints for the battle of life.
Where, whether the prize be ribbon or throne,
The winner is he who can &c Go it alOne?
When great Galileo proclaimed that the world
In regular orbit was ceaselessly whirled,
And got-not convert for all of his pains
But only derision, and prison and chains
8 1t moves, for all that his answering tone.
For he knew like the earth, he could "go it alone!'
When Helper, with intellect piercing afar,
Discovered the laws of each planet and star,
And doctors who ought to have lauded his name,
Derided his learning and blackened his fame,
can't wait, he replied, till the truth you shall
Own,"
For he felt in his heart he could "go it aloney"
Alas for the player who idly depends
In the struggle of life, upon kindred and friends,
Whatever the value of blessings like these,
They can never atone for ingloriOus ease,
Nor comfort the coward who finds with grOan
That his crutches have left him to &C go it alone =!
There is something, no doubt, in the hand you
MAJ hold
Health, family, culture wit, beauty and gold
The unfortunate owner may fairly regard,
As each in its way most excellent card
Yet the game may be lost, with all these for your
own,
Unless you've the courage to ego it alone! !'
In battle or business, whatever the game,
In law or in love it is ever the same,
In the struggle for power or scramble Tor pe!t,
Let this be your motto Rely on yourseIf!''
For whether the prize be ribbon or throne,
The victor is he who g go it alone!"

Terrible Scene in a Ball Room.

While the hecatombs of fowls and oceans
of beer were disappearing in these apart
ments, the chairs were being cleared out
of the concert room, and at about half-past
twelve dancing commenced, shortly to be
brought to an untimely close by one of
those horrible tragedies of every day life
that realize the ghastly Egyptian custom
by which one gust, at least, at every feast
was compelled to accept a skeleton for
neighbOr. A very charming and accom-
plished young lady, the wife of Ernest Won
Teschenberg, the editor of the Weiner lei
ting, was leaving the supper room with her
husband, intending to return home.
While crossing the ball room, where q
brilliant waltz was being played, q friend
asked her to take single turn round the
room. The temptation was too great to
be resisted, so consigning her buvnouS to
her husband, she joined the dances and
was whirled off with great rapidity by her
partner. She had scarcely got half round
the huge circle when she fell from his arms,
as though struck by thunderbolt, dead
They raised her from the ground gently,
and carried her into another room. A
dozen doctors were in attendance, and every
eXpedlent that science could suggest was
tried to restore consciousness to the fair
young form lying so strangely still in its
gay toilette. A smile upon her lips flow
er in her hair Of the scene 1 cannot con-
vey an idea; such agony as that I witnessed
on Sunday morning in the robing room of
the neutrality-suspicious. is too dreadful
to recall-too sacred to describe. The gay
groups melted away in breathIess horror,
stricken hurry; within few minutes the
spacious ball room was silent and empty !;
of all the " "Hesperus members and the
guests, none but handful of mourners
remained behind to watch over that
which half an hour before had been hap
py wife and mother. have now witnessed
three sudden deaths in ball rooms-the
first two were, if possible, even more terri
bic than the last. In the first case, a lovely
girl was shot through the heart by the man
she was engaged to ; in the second, the
belle Of the ball was burnt to death before
her garments, which had caught fire whilst
she was being whisked past the open fire
place, could be torn off. But the tragical
episode of yesterday morning is rendered
more melancholy than either by the remem-
brance that two little children, the eldest
not three years old, are left motherless by
the consequences of a waltz

JUDGE CURTIS, ARaunrENT-

To the exclusion of our usual variety, we
this week present in full, the admirable and
conclusive argument of Judge CURTIS, be-
fore the Supreme Court of the United States
in the ease of Virginia u.s. West Virginia in
vOlvins the question of Jurisdiction over the
counties of Jefferson and Berkeley. The
interest which our people feel in this ques-
ton will induce careful reading of this pa
per, and we are sure will furnish ample apol-
Ogy for the space which it occupies in our
columns.
In the array of facts, the conclusions ar
rived at, and the force and pungeucy with
which they are presented, this argument i.
unanswerable and convincing, and without
the addition of a single word we should be
content to let our case rest with the high tri-
bunal which is now to decide upon it.
We have printed number of extra copies
of the paper containing this argument, which
can be had on application at our office.

The Surratt Trial.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-To day, in sup
port Of motion to recall the prosecutions
witnesses for cross examination, Surratt filed
an affidavit that he could devcl0pe the fact
that it was on the 2lst, instead Of the I7th.
when the handkerchief was dropped at the
depot at st. Adams, and that his defence de-
pended much on that date, also that Dye was
indicted for passing counterfeit money.
The motion was refused. The defence
could summon the witness If wanted.
Inc evidence given to day was mostly con-
hned to occurrences before the assassination,
showing the intimacy between the prisoner
and Booth and others.
