The story set in circulation a few
days ago by one Cooper, private Secre-
tary of the President, that Hon. S. G..
Pomeroy had offered himself and four
others to vote for Johnson's acquittal,
for the sum of forty thousand dollars,
seems to fall "still born" 1t seems to
have been gotten up by Cooper to offset
the charges of corruption against the
President. Mr. Pomeroy denies that he
ever wrote the letter which Cooper
protested to have received through Mr..
Gaylord, Pomeroy's brother-in-law
Very few persons believed the story.
1t was ridiculous. Cooper doubtless
had strong desire that his name should
figure in the matter.

ON DIAMOND CREEK
Fight between Cheyennes and Kaws.

Wednesday, at five o'clock, Mr.. Pyle,
of Cottonwood Falls, arrived here
bringing the following letter from two
Of the most reliable men of that place.
Mr.. Pyle says this information was
obtained from citizens of Cottonwood
Fails who saw the Indians OH Diamond
Creek
The Indians were caInped at Marion
Center for two days, and said they were
coming down to ''clean out the Kaws."
They showed no signs of depredations
until Tuesday morning.
Mr.. Pyle says about % families had
come into Cottonwood Falls for protec-
ton, from west of that point.
Several of our citizens started last
night for the Falls.
The following is the letter received
from Hunt and DooIittle:
CoTToNwooD FALLS,
June Sd. 1868
JACOB SToTLER-DedS' Sir: Reports
of a startling character have arrived
here of Indian depredations.
First, that some five hundred wild
Indians passed Marion Center. OH Tues
day morning-that they committed dep
relations there.
Word has just come to us direct from
Diamond Greek. They are there, killing
stock and cleaning out every house
There may be some degree of exaggera
ton, but there is no doubt but wha
there is large number of Indians, anC
committing all sorts of depredatiO1s.
Think You had better take immediate
steps for safety also send such help al
you can up this way.
Respectfully.

THROUGH ILLINCIS.

n few days ago we went from Quincy
over the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
Railroad. We had been over this route
before, but always III the night time.
and consequently had no chance to see
the country. We found the e. Il. & @.
road one of the best we ever travelled
on. The road-bed is ballasted most of
the way, and is very solid. The con-
ductors and other officials are obliging
and don't put OH any of those disgusting
airs sometimes assumed by railroad
of1icills. The time is the best we ever
made on railroad, the trains frequently
running at the rate of forty-eight miles
per l.our. The cars are SPLENDID, and
evcs. thing about the road is just about
as il should be.
Tie country through which this route
OF 2C0 miles runs, is very fine. We
regard it as the best portion of Illinois,
we have travelled over. 1t is compare
tivcly new. A well informed gentle
maa from this state told us that fifteen
Years ago he had passed over the route
from Galesburg TO Quincy, and that it
Was not i'll more advanced state of
cultivation at that time, than the coun-
Try now is between Lawrence and
Empofia, and that the prospect for its
development was not half so promising
as It's for our country. Now tits thickly
settled all the way, with good towns
every few miles. The trip gave MS an
opportunity of seeing what Kansas is to
become in ten or fifteen years. We
have never beheld more beautiful towns
than Quincy, Prairietown, Galesburg.
Aurora and few others along this
route The people believe in trees and
have lined the streets, of their towns
and villages with them. We noticed

MENT.
CoTToNwooD FALLs,(
June 4tll, 4 y. NJ.

June 4th, y. NJ.
About dozen of us arrived here last
night at II o'clock.
We find things more quiet here than
we anticipated. Men just in from Dia-
mond creek, put better face OH things
than our former intelligence did. That
the Indians-said to be Cheyennes, from
100 to 600 strong-havc been ON Dia-
mond creek and are marching toward
the Kaw Reserve, for the express pur-
pose of fighting the kaws, there can be
no doubt. No depredations have been
committed except the killing of from
two to five head of cattle, and the ston-
ing of one house.
What are these Indians down here
for; That's 4 question we propose to
investigate little farther, and we strike
out this morning i'll the direction OF
Kaw agency.
There are sixty Kaw warriors in arms.
1t is supposed that they can do nothing
against the large force of Cheycnnes
and some fears are expressed that the
cry of fighting Kaws is only blind
1t is generally believed that these In
dams mean mischief OH their return
An effort will be made to make them
return over the same route they came i'll
on. We ought to have one hundred
more men. We only have about l5C
and all are poorly armed with few cx-
captions. 1t is believed there will be &
little chunk of fight between the
Kaws and Cheycnnes this morning.
