MORE INDIAN DEPREDA-
TIONS.
A Surveyors FIagman MUIR
dered,

We are under obligation to the Hon.
NJ. III. Sydenham, of Fort Kearney,
for a communication giving the par
ticulars of another Indian murder in
that vicinity. Messrs HennmasOn
and Currance, Government surveyors
are engaged with their party on the
Republican river. Last Wednesday
morning, Just about as they had COM
menced their labor for the day, they
were surprised by a large band of
Sioux Indians. The flagman of the
party, being nearest to the timber by
the river, was attacked and killed.
The others were some distance from
him, and managed to escape, but not
until they had seen the poor iagman
shot down, and that the Indians
numbered sixty or more. A number
of shots were fired at the escaping
party, but without effect. These In
dams appeared to be crossing the river
on their way to the Platte. They
ritled the surveyors camp, taking
their instruments, a mare, a mule, two
wagons, and all the outfit, except two
horses. The surveyors reached
hearney City about two o'clock
Thursday morning. The Indians
were armed with rifles, Ievolvers, and
lances, and wore military o~vercoats
and are believed to be of those who
have been so long supplied with food
and clothing at North Platte.
The man killed was Young, and
named Edward Malone. His widowed
mother lives at Salem, in this State.
All OF the surveying party are from
RlehardSOn county. Mr.. Currance left
for SalemOn NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The Democrat is After the
Wrong Game.

An article appeared in our columns
some weeks ago over the sigma
ture of " Peru" which the Democrat
attributes to a certain Professor of
the Abnormal School," Well that
may be his title, but as he is not gem
orally known by that cognoman we
are of the opinion that the Democrat
has mistaken its name. Prof. Nc
Kinzie did not write the article referred
TO, but ayOungman no way connected
with the School did, andifwe mistake
not he has heretofore acted with the
Democratic party, but that he will
hereafter do so we are not so sure, es-
pecilly if the party takes its cue from
the Democrat. He remarked on being
call by us Professor" that if Demo-
cratic principles could not be MAIN
tanned except by low flung abuse at
~peaceable christian gentleman, then
he wished to be counted out of its list

Sd. 30. and Her BusIness

It was in June 1866, we first rambled
through the streets of st. Joseph. Our
next visit to this city was made on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of
last week. We notice many substan-
tial two and three story brick business
houses now that was not commenced
at the time we were first in the place.
Herimprovements have been substan-
tial and permanent. She has Of late
the advantages Of a direct Rail Road
connecting with Council Bluffs. Size
is looking to the early completion OF a
road South East to Brunswick, one
North East to Des Moines and one
west to Denver. Should these roads
be completed tan early day st. Joseph
has a future before her which will be
not only fattering but brilliant.
As the Herald sends us its Daily
in exchange, we first gave them a
can. We found the proprietors gen
tlemenly and anxious to make US at
home during our stay in the city. The
Union office was the next place Of inn
portance. They sendus their weekly.
we notice that they print a daily
issue. These are the two Republican
papers besides which we observed that
the news boys were selling the Wndi-
Gator and Gazette. Just opposite the
Union Office we enter the large build
ing OLD A. Constable, importer, whole
sale and retail dealer in every variety
of hardware, agricultural implements,
wood works for carriages and wagons
and Quitting goods. We were con-
Quoted through the entire building
from the ground flour to the third
story-in every room of which, goods
were piled up in immence quantities.
We then went on to the roof, where
we had a SPLENDID view of the entire
city. TheseveraIC Churches, the School
buildings of the various wards, the
Pate Semenary building, the Depot
buildings, the Convent, the many ele-
CANT dwellings and the large business
houses of the city were all in full view.
We found Pinger & Douglass busy
filling orders for queensware and glass
ware. Lemon Hosea & Co., whlOe-
sale dealers in Dry Goods and Cloth
ing, have an extensive stock which
they sell low down for cash. Wool
worth & Colt are selling large guam
titles of Stationary, Paper Hangings
and Printers Stock. w. NJ. Wyeth
& Co., wholesale dealers in Cutlery
and Saddler's findings, are also busy
showing customers there extensive
stock andf film large orders for coun-
try merchants.
These are the principle wholesale
Houses in ST. Joseph, of whom goods
can be bought as cheap asat anyhOuse
in the west-St. Louis and Chicago not
excepted. There may be other good
houses in st. Joseph; if so, we will be
pleased to mention them, when they
are made known to us. AS a whole
sailing point st. Joseph has but few
equals, and certainly none for the
merchants and traders of Southern
Nebraska. She is easy of access, very
near to our doors. Orders may go out
one day and the goods rturned the
next. Thus the traders of this section
have apecular interest in the prosper
ity ofSt. Joseph as a wholesale depot.
We hope the enterprising and pro-
gressive men of that city are not to be
tied down by the close listed, grum-
bling and faultfnding portion who
paralize the influence and power OF
those who labor for the public good.

The Democrats OfAlbert Pixies dis

olutiOn that they would tolerate
niggers," provided they would vote
the Democrat ticket; Pike became in
dignant and left the editorial chair OF
the Memphis appeal. He says he
will e the party in TOphet before he
will swallow a niger or sit on the
same bench with him. We ought to
say, in justice to the African race,
that while most of the first families
down South have been nursed in hot
and cold weather by colored women,
and put to sleap on black bosoms,
Pike is a " carpet-bagger" from the
State of Maine, and was one of the

LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE Times con.
trasts the political canvass in Great
Britain with that in the United States.
In both cases the electors are new
ones. Here in England there are
many contests differing in men
and principles, and the result is
a confused hubbub, in which
the no one sound is heard above
rest. The Times swells in violent
animation on the Presidential election,
and calls the American general elect

military hOrdes of the East by the
largest and finest army, in every re-
spect, that Greece up to this time had
produced; that OfHannibalrest upon
his successful passage of the Alps
into Italy, opposed only by the bar
barOus tribes on his line Ofmarch' and,
subsequently, by rash and incOmpet-
ent Roman COnsuls; Caesars on his
conquest of the em'-barbarOus and re-
belliOus tribes of Gaul, and his sub
sequent defeat Ofthe demOrlized forces
of POmpey. Frederick the Great and
Napoleon L. of our period, on their
victories over armias greatly inferior
to theirs in discipline, and led by gen
erals incompetent from age and mil
itary talent, while Grant has crushed
m of the mos, formidable rebllions,
whether we regard the numbers, the
intelligence, and the means engaged in
it, that the world has ever witnessed !;
and, as alleged by his detrGctOrs, both
at home and abroad, against leaders
superior to himself in generalship-
against troops superior to his own in
chivalry, dash, and all other fighting
qualities operating in a country every
inch of which vas thoroughly known
to them, aud rendered defensive by
all the resources of nature and art
skillfully combined. And this he did
by measures of which he was the
originator, taking for his own position
the most important and most difficult
one of the work to be DONE"

Another Story About Governor
Seymour.


General H. Z. Paine, member of
Wisconsin,, is the author of the fol-
lowing statement:
''When the news of the fall of Sum-
ter was received i'm this city Governor
Seymour was stopping at the Newhall
House. The city, on the receipt of
that news, was ablaZe with indigna-
ton, and Democrats that had been
offered to avenge the insult that had
been offered to our flag. A meeting
of business men, irrespective of party,
was the Chamber of COmmerce,
and stirring addresses were made.
Every voice was for war. Some one
mentioned the fact that Governor
Seymour was in town, and it was at
once resolved to have a speech from
him. One of our most highly respect
ed citiZens-persOnal acquaintance of
Seymour's-hastened to inform him
of the intended call. He was found
in the ladies' parlOr of the hotel, re-
ceived the Milwaukee gentleman
most cordially, and represented him
self in the best of health. But when
Informed that the crowd would pre-
sently call upon him for a speech, he
promptly replied that he would not
respond. But you must replied his
friend. The crowd will not take no
for answer Il shall not do it, said
Seymour; Il don't know how this
thing is going to turn, and l shall not
speak. You must tell the crowd that
/ am sick and cannot respond The
Milwaulkeean refused to tell this false
hood, and turned and left the "great
statesman Shortly after, another of
his acquaintance, also a gentleman
of high standing in this community,
waited upon him on the same GRAND.
He found Seymour in his room sick
was fairly deceived by his counterfeit
illness, and left him. Shortly after
ward, a committee of gentlemen call
ed upon the Governor and fairly drag
ged him out upon the balcony. He
simply thaked the crowd for the COM
pliment, and excused himself from

upon them to stand by the pledges
made by all classes of union loving
citizens, when Richmond fell, and
Lee surrendered, that the man who

hours and the people were still listen

The meeting was adjournd to even

Taffe, Hon. T. NJ. Marquette addressed
the audience. Gov. Butler drew from
the Hon. A. f. Harvey, the following
statement in reputation of the Nor
ton ISLANDERS:
Mr.. Harvey rose and said he had
been clerk at every sale of lots at the
capitol that the Commissioners had
bought lots only on the same terms as
other buyers; they had bid them of
publicly and had paid for them the
cash as other buyers had done. He
fully vindicated the Board in their
course, against the foul ISLANDERS of
their pOliticalenemies. His statement
showed that the Commissioners have
acted in the utmost good faith
throughout.
