The Indian Trnuhlaa

ST. LOUIS, August 31,--Western dis
patches say that the Apache and Neva-
10 Indians are committing numerous
outraoes in New Mexico. Two hunters
had been killed in the San Manto noun
tains, and others were missing. The
Indians drove off thirteen thousand
sheep, when the citizens pursued and
recaptured all but fifteen hundred.
The Indians continue troublesome at
the Sweet Water Pines, in Utah. Six
teen were killed by party OF miners
there on the 4th inst. Nevada papers
complain bitterly of Indian depreda-
tions in the country west of Olive creek
in Colorado.
ST. LOUIS. Sept. IA dispatch
from Fort Hays, Kansas, of the 3Oth
ult., says no news has yet been receiv-
ed from the force sent against the Indi-
ans, but a severe battle is believed to
have taken place. All the savages in
this section say they do not wish peace,
and will kill the commissioners il posi-
sible. They are driving all the buffalo
towards their villages on the Repub-
lican river.
A Telegram from Gen. Augur's
headquarters says the Indiansattacked
a government train near Fort G.. +.
Smith, on the Goth ult., and were re-
pulsed, with a loss of 20 killed, and one
officer and four men killed on our side.
All hostile tribes around Fort Phil
Kearny are under the leadership of Red
Cloud, and are bent on war. Black
Hawk, chief of the Utah Indians, fa
vOrS peace. a battle between the Ogal-
lalla and Beute tribes of Sioux occur
red on the 9th ult., at Cedar Canon,
thirty miles south of Julesburg, in
which several savageS were killed.

OF these we know, personally, and
the Gazette ought to know, that at least
four were not deserterS. We further
know that one, at least, laid down his
life in the service of his country, yet
the Gazette has the effrOntery to insult
the gallant soldiers friends and rela-
tives by holding him upas a deserter.
Inquirer.
That fellow ''never opens his mouth
but he puts his foot in it," We did not
say, and do not say, now, that the per-
sons named in the article to which the
Inquirer refers, are deserters. On the
other hand, we claimed and claim now
for those men, as well as for all others
disfranchised under the infamous Radi-
cal prescription, that they are not deser-
ters. What we did say we repeat, viz:
that those mems names are giUen IN the
Adjtttdnt Generals list, made out by di-
rectiOn Of the DiJTWachising Act passed
6ytbe Radical legislature, 0S those Of de-
serters; and that, under that law, they
are disfranchised, for the Adjutant
Generals list is made prinaG .fdcie evil
dence (by the Act referred to) of their
desertion. That list is on file in the
ProthonOtary's office and can be seen
by those persons any time they can sat
isfy themselves, by inspecting it, as to
the truth of our statement. 1t is, then,
not the GAZETTE that "insults the gall
liant soldiers friends and relatives by
holding him up as a deserter." On
the other hand, the GAZETTE defends
him against the foul aspersion of the
Radical politicians. 1t is the Adjttdnt
Generals list, prepared by direction of
the Radical Legislature, that brands the
name Of the HriJ3g, and the memory Of
the dead soldier, a0iH the mJdD2y of
DESERTION. How will you wipe
out that stain, imprinted by the cow
ard tricks of your own partizans, Mr..
Inquirer? Let's hear from you on this
point.

HENRY w. WILLIAMS
WHO is SHERIDAN?

A soldier who commanded with dash
and bravery during the late war.
That is the whole answer to the above
question. Is he the only soldier who
merits this commendation No, not
by any means. Hancock, Meade,
Thomas, Ord, and fifty others deserve
to be mentioned with equal compli-
ment. Why, then, the canonization of
this man Sheridan as a martyr, simply
because the President has transferred
him from the command of one Army
Department to that of another? This
saint-making business would be sim
ply ridiculous were it not that the OBJ
ject of it is to make capital for politi-
cal party which dares not trust to prtn-
ciple, but resorts to the excitement of
morbid passions and bitter personal
animOsities as its constant trick where
by to mislead and humbug the public.
Hence, the reasons for which Sheri-
dan has been transferred from the COM
mand of the Fifth Military Recon-
structiOn District, to that of the De-
partment of the Missouri, are studious-
ly kept in the background, whilst it
is falsely and ridiculously alleged, that
he was so transferred, because the Pres
ident desired to rebuke and humiliate
him. Now, Sheridan was displaced at
New Orleans, for the very excellent
reason that he was meanly and shame
fully tyrannical in the administration
Ofaffairs in his department.. For in
stance, he removed Gov. Wells Ia Rad
ical) of Louisiana, and Gov. Throck-
morton, Ia Union man throughout the
war; without even giving them trial
by court-martial. Hundreds of other
civil officers were removed by him up
on the most frivolous charges preferred
against them by ignorant negroes,
without notice to those officers and
without any hearing at which they
could defend themselves. Besides, he
was guilty of the most fragrant insub-
ordination to his Commander-in-Ch
For these reasons, this last saint in the
Radical calendar, this wonderful Phil.
Sheridan, was transferred from New
Orleans to the Department of the Mis-
souri,. If there is any stuff in those
facts that ought to make the Gesler of
the Fifth Military District, q martyr,
the Radical htmabuggers are welcome to

A MILITARY satrap, named "Pope," "
who was disgracefully whipped in al
most every engagement which he led
against the rebels, recently became Of
Tended because a band played "DiXie"
on a public occasion in a town of Geor-
gia. The new York Times disposes of
''Pope's" indignation in this wise:
General Pope might remember that
President Lincoln himself consecrated
"DiXie" to the patriotic service of the
Union, when on public occasion in
Washington, as the rebellion was going
down, he called for band to play it in
his presence, remarking that we could
not afford to give such good tune over
to bad cause, and that henceforth
"DiXie" should be national American
melody.

THE EPISCOPALIANSO ON DIVORCE

was adopted instructing the deputies of

law, with suitable qualifications, apro-
hibition of the use of the marriage SER

party contemplating marriage shall
have been previously divorced by the

are thus applied for in ascertaining the
facts bearing on such prohibition.

REFORM IN THE LEGISLATURE.

The Democrats of this Representative
District, have put their best foot fore
most in making nominations of candi-
dates for the Legislature. Hon. w. P.
Schell, of this county, and Hon. Hiram
Fiudlay, of Somerset, are gentlemen
whose election will secure able and ac-
tive advocates of the much needed re-
form in the Legislature. We do not
urge their claims merely upon partizan
grounds. They are both deeply inter-
ested in our local railroad projects, and
can and will do more in one week to
build up the material interests of the
district, than their opponents could in
a year. Weller and Richards have
been tried. What have they done to
benefit the people of the district? Let
us try Schell and Findlay and see what
they can do.

Wrong-shippedagain! The President
cannot and did not order Gen. Grant,
or any body else, to take position in
his Cabinet. He Grant was appointed
by the President to kick out Stanton,

he (Gen. Grant, had "Gccepted the ap-
pointment," he (StantOn) had no alter

General Grant cannot balance two buck

made by w. M. Hall who (hall-ooed

became hoarse, doubtless because he
feared that if he did not apply that epi-

HENRY w. WILLIAMS.

The Radical candidate for Supreme Judge, stands
upon platform, in which occurs the following
language:
"RssoIred, That warned by past misfOrtunes,
we ask that the Supreme Court of the State be
placed in harmony with the political opinions OF q
majority of the people"
Thus, the Supreme Court, which is the final ar
bitter between the weak and the strong, between
minorities and majorities is to be swayed by polit
cal bias against the rights of that portion of the
people achO may happen to be IN the minority
Have mlnorities no rights which majorities are
bound to respect? Nay, are not the fewest num-
Der of people iaVyerS, j~rIstS and is not often
the smallest minority right, on questions of law,
rather than the mass who have had no legal or ju-
dicial education? Who, therefore, could trust
man as Supreme Judge, who will agree to substi-
tute for his own deliberate judgment, the crude
opinions of the mob?
Again,
HENRY W. WILLIAMS
is the candidate of party which holds that man
may repudiate his contract to pay debt in gold
and silver, by paying the same in paper money,
thus actually making Government bends worth
mo more than ordinary paper money. This rs re-
pudtation. Who, therefore, will vote for H. w
Williams, and become a repudtattOntst?
