FORT LARAMIE.

FoRr LARAMIE, NEBRASKA, Jan. 7
 On the morning of the 1st, four hun dred and fifty Cheyenne Indians sur rounded the telegraph office at Sweet water bridge, and killed and scalped Calicott, the operator, and burned the station. There were three soldiers with him. One was found dead; the others have not been heard from. The Chey- ennes were heretofore peaceable, and their taking the war path with the Sioux will make it much worse for the small number of troops in this Terri tory.
 An expedition started from here a few days since to punish the Indisns who committed the massacre at Fort Phil. Kearney'

The Impeachment of the President.

The Jacobins have at last broken ground on the subject of the impeachment of the President. The subject was brought formally before caucus of their Congress men on Saturday night Though no de- cisive result was arrived at, the prevailing sentiment is reported to have been in ia vor of the impeachment. There was con- siderabled difference of opinion on the subject of the proper timo for taking the action proposed. Some of the jumpers thinking that there will not be sufficient time for the trial during the remainder of the present session, and that as the next Congress will be still more radical tkan this, the dirty job can be safely left to them. Some of the Radicals were, how ever, outspoken against any movement of the sort, and did not think impeachment possible. We predict that it will be found difficult to secure sufficient number of members to accomplish this iniquity When the time comes for action the knees of many will give way, and the spinal col. umns of others will become as soft as mush
 Bold and reckless as the Jacobins are they will be very apt to pause and reflect before they venture to declare this species of warfare upon the President, and thus arouse him to re.aliatory action They appear to have a very strong conviction that when the President said that he was ready for the issue, he meant something more than that he would hold out his arms to be handcuffed and that under the ex- asperation which an attempt to depose him from his office would excite, he might prove lion in their path They knew that he would not be a passive victim and fear that he might prove dangerous foe
 They are not exactly sure, either, that movement would be sustained by the people, and fear that in such an outrage upon the Constitution they might find themselves standing alone, in which event their political doom would be sealed We consider 1t tolerably safe to predict that no serious effort at the impeachment oi the President will be attempted at tho present session of Congress.-[ Louisville Courier

p6- With due degree of modesty, and fully approaching the liberal SUD- port that has been conferred upon us, we would remind our friends and the reading public, that we are now pub fishing the cheapest family newspaper in the State. We do not lay claim to a mind so cultivated, as some, nor have we the effrontery, unaided by patron age or support, to name our paper FIRST GLASS. Our endeavor has been and shall ever be to exert ourselves for the benefit of the people; to give them a paper readable and instructive iii all it's branches, and leave it for them to estimate us according to our worth It matters little what estimate a man puts upon himself or his undertaking it. is the estimate of the people that gives him the place. If this be true, then we do not hesitate to say we are publishing first class paper. WE HAVE THE LARGEST CIRCULATION OF ANY PAPER ON WHITE RIVER, and our advertising support is so liberal that we are justified in reducing our sub- scription price to two dollars and fifty cents per annum--always in advance.
 In view of these facts, we call upon the citizens of this and the adjoining counties, to send in their names with
 the money, assuring them that they
 shall have paper, in no way inferior
 to any published in the State.
