FROM THE FAR WEST.

ST.. Louis, Aug. 16.
Omaha dispatches say that battle is re-
ported in the neighborhood Of Plumb Creek,
between 500 Siouxs and.:28O Pawnee scouts,
lasting six hours. The Siouxs we're routed
with great loss. The Pawnees have been
reinforced by Uuited States troops. This
report needs confirmation.
The Indian Commissioners reached Omaha
yesterday, and held secret session, after
which they proceeded up the river.
An encounter took place yesterday at Fort
narker, Kansas, between Gen. Mccall and
Mr.. Edgar of the Commissary Department. A

both in the guard house, and prevented blood
shed.
All the the suffers at Big Creek are driv,
eu away and their goods con6scated by the
militia, on the ground they had no license.

MILITARY RECONSTRUCTION

The General Order No. l, of General
Schofeld, upon taking command of The
District of Virginia, is as follows, and is of
general interest, showing practically how
this is to be done:
HEADQUARTERS FIRST DISTRICT, STATE
OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Va, Mdrch 18Th,
1S67-General Orders, No. IL. In com
pliance with the order of the President, the
undersigned hereby assumes command of
the first district, State of Virginia, under
the act of Congress Of March 9, 1867.
"Il. All officers under the existing pro-
visional government of the State of Vir-
ginis, will continue to perform the duties
Of their respective Offices, according to law,
unless otherwise hereafter ordered in indi-
vidual cases, until their successors shall be
duly elected and qualified in accordance
with the aboye-named act of Congress.
"III. 1t is desirable that the military
power conferred by the aforementioned
act, be exercised only so far as may be
nece-~a-- to accomplish the objects fer
VIII ( power was conferred and the
Undersigned appeals to the people of Vir-
ginia, and especially TO magistrates and
other civil officers, to render the necessity
for the exercise of this power as slight as
possible, by strict obedience TO the laws,
and by impartial administration of justice
to all classes.
"IV. The staff officers now on duty at
Headquarters Department of the Potomac,
are assigned TO corresponding duties at

THE RADICAIsAND THE sOLDIERs

Radical love Tor the soldier is pretty
well exemplifed by correspondent of
the Leavenworth Commercial (himseIf a
Radically who contains Of Governor
Crawford, of Kansas. that in the APP
pointment Of five Regents Of the State
OnlVep'.ty, three commissioners to cod
ny re laws Of the State, two commission
ere of emigration, one warden, one
architect, and three directors Of the
peniteRtiary, recently appointed by him,
there was not one who had ever been
IN the army, or did the least to defend
the country in the hour Of need and
this in the face Of the fact that some
discharged or disabled soldiers applied
for every one of these appointments
Radical love for the soldier is also
sxemplifed in the wholesale rejection
by the United States Senate, Of soldiers
Amounted 10 Office by the President Ii
these same soldiers had applied to
Southern Legislatures and been rejected,
the Radicals would have set up terrible
howl over the disposition Of the Southern
people to prescribe every man who has
had any thing to do with the Federal
army. The Cincinnati Commercial en-
tertains keen appreciation Of the ridicu.
lous position in which the Radicals in
the United States Senate have placed
themselves. In It's issue of the 10th
inst that paper says
Col A. +. Jones has been appointed by
the President Postmaster of Cincinnati, and
the appointment is before the Senate. We
have no doubt Of the confirmation of the
Colonel he was impoverished during the
war by holding the Office Of Provost Mar
shal Of the first district Of Ohio, and null
utudes viii retain a grateful recollection Of
his inestimsble services in procuring credits
for naval recruits, at a time when Cincin-
natl was pretty badly in for the draft The
ingenuity and patriotic zeal Of Col Jones
preserved some hundreds, perhaps thou
sands Of our fellow citizens, from the disa-
greeable alternative Of going to the front,
Col. Jones will be confirmed. Col Basseti
Langdon's nomination for Assessor in the
first district, is again, and We suppose for
the lest time, before the Senate. He did not
distinguish himself particularly during the
war, except as a soldier, and there Is no
hope for him The nice discrimination,
exquisite taste, highly cultivated judgment
and brilliant tact Of the Senate, in the
matter Of confirming and rejecting the
Presidents appointment call for our
ksenest appreciation

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
NEW YORK.

Movement of United states Troops
FenfanIsm-FrOm British Honduras
Affairs in Virginia.
New YORK, March 20-Nine car loads
of United States troops, forming an extra
train, yesterday passed over the Hudson
River railroad. The men were fully
equipped, and had with them all necessary
baggage for a campaign. They are des-
tined for Oswego, and are undoubtedly in
tended to operate against any movement
of the Fenians which may be attempted on
the frontiers of Canada.
The Fenian news by the latest dispatches
gives little or no encouragement to the
brotherhood. There is perfect stagnation
in the excitement which prevailed during
the last week, and the belief is becoming
general that nething like an instruction
was instituted IN Ireland, and whatever
disturbance occurred, was quickly and
easily quelled. The movement on Canada
is, however, attracting more attention, and
its Inauguration is believed to be near at
hand.
The city of Montreal has been in state
of most unwarrantable excitement for the
last two or three days. The most startling
rumors were set ahoat to the effect that the
Victoria bridge or the powder magazine
was to be blown up. An extraordinary
cabinet council was held, and it has trans
pired that more troops had been tele-
graphed for to England.
At st. Adams, Vermont, says a Herald
correspondent, many strange Milesian faces
are noticeable, and probably that town will
| soon be the base of a Fenian column IN
| Canada.
The riots which occurred on st. Patrick's
day were the subject of excited conversation
among the public generally, and the police
especially, yesterday. The wounded are
still suffering seriously, and although inn
| proving, several of them are still in pre-
carious condition.
| Advices from British Honduras to the
22d nit. state that subsequent to the late
reverses the British troops gained a very
important victory over the Indians, who
| had been raiding on the colonists. Quite
a number of Indians-men, women and
children--were killed by rockets thrown
into a retreating crowd. Many of their
villages were burned, and their corn fields
laid waste Considerable discomfort existed
10 the public mind in Belize.
The Herald's Richmond correspondent
says that Hunnicut is about canVassing the
State in order to counteract the influence
exerted by several prominent Rebels, who
having accepted the situation, are now en-
deavoring to influence the negroes to vote
for their own political ends. Hunnicut is
considered good orator, and the question
of opposing him with Henry A. Wise, is
mooted.
Report says that Wardwell, for Mayor
leads the municipal ticket nominated by
the negroes in Richmond.
The Herald's special says: The people
Of Buckingham county, Va, held a meet
ing on Monday last, at which the military
bill was Endorsed, and their Representatives
| instructed to vote for a call of a convention
though nothing had been previously said
upon the subject.

WEBSTER ON MILITARY REPUBLICS

The following is an extract from Web
ster's Grafton on the completion of the
Bunker Hill Monument, June II, 1S43:
A military republic, a government
founded on mock elections and supported
only by the sword, is a movement, indeed,
but a retrograde and disastrous movement
from the regular and old-fashioned mon
archical system. If men would enjoy the
blessings of republican government, they
must govern themselves by reason, by
mutual counsel and consultation, by n sense
of feeling and general interest, and by the
acquiescence of the minority in the will of
the majority properly expressed and above
all, the military must be kept, according 10
the language of our bill of rights, in strict
subordination to the civil authority.
Wherever this lesson is not both learned
and practiced, there can be no political
freedom. Absurd, preposterous it is, a
scott and a satire upon free forms of con-
stitutional liberty, for forms of govern
ment to be prescribed by military leaders,
and the right of suffrage to be exercised at
the point OF the sword Works, ool. l, page
