THE PRESIDENTS VIsIT.-Upon the au-
thority of the Washington Star, some time since,
we announced that President johnson designed
accepting the invitation to visit this City, dur
ing the present month. This rumor, We observe,
is going the rounds and continues to gather Us
it rolls.
1t is perhaps time for US to say, that no per-
son in this City, official private, so far as we
learn, has one word from the President, or his
family, authorizing the expectation of an early
visit from the President. If he intends visiting
this city, he has not yet given our citizens or
authorities any notice of such visit. The al
lusions TO the laying of the corner stone Of the
monument to his father are all premature. No
arrangements, so far as we know, are yet made
for that purpose, though a movement has been
on foot for procuring such monument.-RaA

CHINESE MEDICAL CUSTOMS.

The physician aud priest treat the patient at
the same time. The physician cures the dis
ease with his remedies, the priest by firing off
crackers, beating instruments, making the pa
tent jump out Of bed and run about the room,
ETC., helps to cure him by driving away evil
spirits that cause the disease. There are no
medical schools, and students learn from private
teachings Every who discovers remedy
keeps it secret and hands it down to his
friends, who also keep it secret. The dissec-
ton of the human body is forbidden by Law, and
any found doing it is put to death. The
circulation of the blood and the beating of the
gard to the pulse is, that it is caused by a
consider the pulse in one part of the body dit
hundred different kinds of pulse. Mania is re-
ferred to the Influence of the moon, and a
Chinaman could not be bribed to sleep out in
the moonlight, for fear of its evil effects. They
have large matera medica. Mercury and
iron the only mineral medicines used, but
these are used extensively. They are fine bo-
tanists and have large collection Of herbs for
medicines. In prescribing, fifteen to twenty
remedies are mixed 10 one prescription. Lit the
patient dies, the physician can be prosecuted,
and, if found guilty of NAL practice, will have
to support the family of the deceased from his
own purse. Instead of bleeding, as practised
here, the arm is scari6ed with many bladed
knife, and then certain class of persons are
employed to suck the blood from the arm. To-
credible as it may seem, they also suck matter
from sores, Assesses, and boils. The Chinese
have horror for water, and never drink il, ex-
cept medicine. Their drink is tea altogether.
The Chinese physician is superior TO all others
in one particular, at least; he has a sure cure
for hydrophobia; but the remedy is kept secret.

THE INDIAN WAR COMMENCED I'm
EARNEST.

4nc iVHo"iuS contains tue latest news Ir0n
Gen. Hancook's expedition against the Indians {:
THIRTY MILES FROM FoRr LARNED,
a KANSAS, April 21, 1867.
General Hancock apparently waited for the
tidings Of the depredations and murders COM
United by the Indians, officially confirmed BY
General Custar. Last night, per courier, be
received it. The letter was dated Fort Hays,
April 10, and stated that three men had been
murdered, scalped, disemboweled, aud then
burnt; and that three stations (mail), With all
hay stacks, stables and out-buildings, burnt to
the ground. Next morning, which vas yester-
day, after the official news, he ordered the whole
Indian village to be burned. Three companies
Of the Thirty seventh infantry were detailed
and marched to the spot. They made six large
stacks Of everything to be found in the camp,
which was of a very miscellaneous description
At the same moment they were set on FIRE the
heavens appeared black with smoke. The
prairie also caught on fire, aud with lightning
speed it rushed onward, borne along by fierce
gale it served as terrible beacon, or sigaal, to
the Indians Of the fate of their beloved village
The following is list of the articles burned {:
251 buffalo-robe lodges, 942 buffalo robes, 436
bone saddles, 435 travesties, 287 head mats, l9l
axes 100 kettles, II frying pans, $50 tin cups,
30 whet-stones, 2l2 sacks of paint, SO water
kegs, ovens, Al grubbing-bones % coffee
mills, IA lariat ropes, 129 chairs, 303 par
feeches, Is curry combs, 81 cofee.po 46
hoes, 81 ficking irons, l49 horn spoons, q
crow-bars, 73 brass kettles, II hammers, 8
stew-pans, Is drawing Knives Is spades,
scythes, files, l9 bridles 8 pitch, forks, Is tea
kettles, 80 spoons, Is knives, 10 pickaxes,
sword, l bayonet, United States nail bag
with letters, which were sent to the Depart.
nent), II stone mallets, l lance, 33 wooden
spoons, PSI door mats, or flaps, 48 raw hide
ropes 22 meat stores.
The whole is supposed to amount to the sum
of Sl00,000-a terrible loss to the Indians, aud
one from which it is impossible they will ever
recover. 1t will require at least the skins of
5000 bufaloes to make up the sum total Of
those tents. Buffaloes are scarce now, and they
are rapidly diminishing from the face of the
great landsea. They drew This terrible vista
tion on their heads by their deep duplicity.-
There we're piles of old clothes in the camp, Of
which a true inventory was not taken, and it is
truth to state that they were greatly and tbckly
infested with those "little bugs" generally found
infestlDg, in a more or less degree, dirty persons
and dirty heads. When the borfres were lit,
Hancock, by that act, declared war to the knife.
rive fear that the burning of Indian villages
and consequently the starving of women and
children, is poor way to reconcile Indians to
the white man and the Government Of the United
States
