TERRIBLE STORY OF INDIAN CRUEL
TY.-A letter from Fort Kearney.
Nebraska, gives the following account
OF fearful Indian atrocity at Junct-
ionyille on the 18th July ultimo:
"On Thursday party of Indians,
exact number not known, who were
supposed to have crossed from the
North side of the Platte, attacked the
ranches of Mr.. John Campbell, and
also of his son Peter Campbell, which
were about three hundred yards from
each other. They first came to the
house of Mr.. Peter Campbell, and
took the young woman, Miss Campbell
seventeen years old, off with them as
prisoner. After rihing trunks and
bureaus Of all valuables, they then
proceeded to John Campbell's house,
in which was another daughter of
Peter, nineteen years old, a little girl
twelve years old, and two boys aged
respectively five and six years. All
these children they took prisoners, and
took from the house 500 in currency,
and torty-two English sovereigns.-
The youngest girl managed to get
away and sought refuge in the house
of Mr.. Warren, about half a mile
distant. Mrs. Warren Immediately
sent one of her little girls with Miss
Campbell to arouse the neighbors be,
low and bring the men from where
they were working. While they were
gone several Indians made their ap.
pearance before the door, but before
they could make good their entrance
| Mrs. Warren, with great presence Of
mind, barred the door. The Indians
effected an entrance by the chimney
and as they set foot inside the unfor
tunate woman rushed out with one of
her youngest children in her arms fol
the purpose of escaping, but an 1ndi
an who had been stationed at the door
shot her in the breast, killing her in
stantly. The babe was sucking a.
the moment, and the blood that gush

pletely dyed the babe with its crimson
hue. As the woman fell an arrow

it very severely. There were fou

Sanford Conover's Claim to Pardon.


WASHINGTON, August 8. Assistant
Attorney general Binckley has furnish
ed the President with an opinion IN
relation to the application Of pardon
to Charles A. Durham, alias Sanford
Conover, which is recommended by
A. G. Riddle and Joseph Holt, on ac-
count of the services rendered to the
prosecution in the trial Of Surratt and
which was evidently inspired by ).
NJ. Ashley. Mr.. Buckley gives the
petition and also long letter address
sed subsequently to July 18th to the
President by Durham. in which he re-
veals an alleged plot on the part of
Ashley, Butler and others TO implicate
the President in the plot for the as
sassination of Mr.. Lincoln, which he
says is capable of proof by the most
irrefragable evidence. He says that
Ashley explained the kind of evidence
he thought most admirable to present,
viz: that Booth had on several oc-
casions paid familiar visits to Presi-
dent Johnson at the Kirkwood House
that Johnson correspondent with
Booth that the placing of Atzerott
at the Kirkwood House was only a
sham though Atzerott was unaware
of it, to make it appear that johnson
was intended as a victim, and thus
distract all suspicion from Johnson of
coniving at Lincoln's murder; thai
Booth stated on the 4th of March tC
an intimate friend in New York
whom he had endeavored to enlist il
the conspiracy, that he was acting
with the knowledge Of the Vice Presi
dent, and that it had been arranged
to kill Lincoln on the day of the in
auguration which would account fol
Johnson's strange conduct on that oc
casion and that Johnson expected the
tragedy to be enacted then, and haC
taken several potations to compost
and nerve him for the event.
Durham says he assured Ashley HI
should have no difficulty in finding
persons of good standing and mora
character to prove these matters, anC
that it was agreed that he should d.
so as soon as released. Ashley ant
Butler pressed him to send for tw'
or three persons of intelligence whicI
was done, but Durham being in ,jai
it was found necessary for some on
else to act as their preceptor, whic

GYMNAsTIC CLUB.-Some of our
young men have set movement on
foot to establish Gymnastc Club
in our city. If enough members can
be obtained, the design is to rent a
Hall and furnish it with gymnastic
apparatus so that our young men
may have pleasant place Of resort
for their leasure hours, and chance
to gain that strength and health that
are the result OF gy mnastic exercise.
As the success of the enterprise will
depend on the number that engage
in it at the beginning, all who wish
to see such club formed, should en-
roll themselves at once and net wait
till others have started it. The
benefits OF Gymnastic exercise in de-
yeloping the physical powers are too
obvious to need comment. We sin
cerely hope that those who have the
matter in hand will be successful and
that gymnashc exercise will become
popular among our young men.

STEAMBoATING ExTRAoRDINARY- -
The Steamer Banner started on q
voyage Of discovery, Monday, that
showed beyond doubt, that Chicka-
mauga creek is navigable for steam
boats-when there is water enough.
Taking advantage of the high water.
the boat steamed up the creek, dodg-
ing trees with consummate skill, and
making the quiet retreats of that
classic stream echo with the shrill
notes of her whistle. A large party
of excursienists engaged in the novel
trip. Whether the boat was merely
trying to see what she could do, or
WAS attempting to open ccmmunica-
ton by water with the Railroad, we
have not been informed. If the
latter was her object, she failed to
make the connection. The trip has
proved. however, that the creek is
navigable, a question, which, like the
existence of the North West passage,
has long been unsettled.

but one week, as Judge Wright can
spare only that time in this county.

to have been thrown into inextricable
confusion. As result Of these
changes, our, county suffers, and is

pended wIthin her limits.
