THE INDIANS.

Geu. Sheridan has started on campaign
against the Indians, his object being to
attack the savages in their winter quarters
destroy their tents and provisions and kill
ervations. The expedition has been fitted
out on an extensive scale, and is led by
Sheridan in person. News from the Plains
is now anxiously looked for. The Indians
are well armed with rifles and supplied
with ammunition beautifully by the Indian
Bureau, and have committed the most hor-
rible barbarities upon the frontier settlers
and emigrants the past summer, their in
discriminate massacre extending alike to
women and children.

SUBSCRIBERS.

We have often urged upon subscribers
the Importance of greater promptness in
paying up subscription bills. The very &c
mi:ssness OF n large number who are rclia-
bic. AMI sure pay, eventually forms 4 pre-
text for another class who let their sub
scriptions remain unpaid till they become
species of dead-heads.' We have been
at considerable expense to reset our sub
scription list, and if q number of these
"long- winded' patrons of ours miss their
names from the revised list, the fault may be
attributed to themselves. We can't afford
to supply them with newspaper, year after
year, for nothing, when, perhaps, there is
not one of them who does not spend almost
weekly, more than the subscription price
of The WhiJ for year, in purchasing some
tliilc that he would be just as comfortable
without. If. however, some fail to get
their papers, who do not belong to the
above class, we ask them to inform us, as
some inaccuracies will probably occur in
the revision of orr list.

General Grant is now receiving numer-
Gus letters rendering advice and suggestions
in regard to his Cabinet, most, if not all,
OF which share a fate similar to the appli-
cations for Office. Thus far he has been
advised to appoint both Robert E. Lee and
Horatio Seymour to positions in his Cbai-
net, for the reason that it would, in the
opinion of the writer's, have a very harmon
izing and mollify n effect upon the people
who opposed his election, and would, there
fore, aid largely to give us peace.

II. Rives Pollard, the editor of the
"Southern Opinion" a flash paper some
what after the style of the La Crhsse DEM
ocrat, and sympathizing with that paper
in its political feelings, was shot dead i'll
the streets of Richmond ON Thursday last.
The provocation to the shooting was the
publication of an article in the Southc. n
Opinion relative to the elopcment of Il
daughter of Mr.. VIM. II. Grant, n wealthy
merchant of Richmond, and rejecting, by
name, very grossly on the character of
that young lady. A brother posted him
self in room opposite the office of that
paper, and shot Pollard as he was entering
A double barrelled gun, loaded with buck
shot, was used, eleven of the shot penetrat-
ing Pollard's body. one going through his
heart and killing him instantly.
Pollard, at the time he was shot had upon
his person two revolvers, pair of Derrin-
gers, and abowie-knife. The Richmond
Journal says that this was not an unusual
armament for him."
Delaware which clings to Democracy,
Saulsburyism, and the cat-of-nine- tails, ON
Saturday in the ijail-yard at New Castle
gave an exhibition in which seved persons
convicted of various petty offences We're
tied to the post and whipped. One man.
seventy years old, received twenty lashes
on his bare back. He cried bitterly dnring
the whole time. Two boys, twelve years
of age, were flogged, receiving twenty
lashes each. One man was placed in the
pillory and kept there until he was totally
helpless from cold, and then given twenty
lashes. All of the criminals after recev-
ing this barbarous punishment were re-
turned to prison, to remain there six
months after which they will each have to
wear a convict's dress in public for another
half year.
The Fredmen's Bureau-that Democratic
bugbear-quietly passes into history with
the closing hours of this year. The good it
has done will only be known in after times
when the dispassionate historian will tell
without fear or favor its story of peace and
good will, and then vindictive opposition
and bitter abuse it endured at the hands of
the Democratic party will be wondered at
and recounted only in connection with the
history of the same political party in relation
to the common school system.
The returns from the elections still
continue to come in. The Atlantic IN. J,)
Democrat, white mans paper after the
type of that noble American, Brick Pome-
roy, lie reported dead. The Elk county
(Pa.) Adcocate, heretofore similar sheet,
reaches us this week with Republican col
ors flying ut its editorial masthead, ell
larged, improved, sxpurgated, clad in clean
type, and arguing for impartial suffrage.
Nathan g. Brown, of the we'll known

CONOWINGO ITEMS.

Dromned.-Z Taylor Mcdowell and two
colored men, by the name of John Edward
and Robert Hopkins, were drowned, Oh the
Gath inst, in the Susquehanna River, near
Steefs Island, by the upsetting of a boat.
They were engaged in driving logs for the

men in the boat,-M. c. X. Gilmore, War
ncr Alexander and Nelson Barrow. They
held Oh to the boat--the others undertook
to swim ashore, against the Inconsistencies
of Mr.. Gilmore.
Thieces.-There appears to be an organ
lied band of thieves, who travel through
this ncighborhcod. Mr.. Cummings lost 4
buggy and harness worth 5000 w. Thomp-
son, of Pleasant Grove, a horse worth $500,
the same night, which was about Il month
ago. j. Kridcr, of Fulton twp, Pa, on

light i'll his barn he proceeded to recon-
noitrc, when a man decamped. leaving a
dark lantern. He had selected set of
carriage harness, buggy, whip, and buffalo
robe, which he lcft-for the time being.
1rTested.-A stranger made his appear
ance in this neighborhood, on Sunday, ap-
parently i'll search of information, and cx-
cited the suspicion of some folks by asking
questions, asserting that he was acquainted
with a number of people, none of whom
knew him. He was arrested and taken be-
fore Esquire Hannah, but released for want
of evidence.

No countryman need be known by his
dress. There are marks of his calling which
are honorable and becoming. HIS 6ronzed
face and stout brawny arms and work-hnrd-
ened hands, mark him as true son of the
soil and no lazy sluggard, and SO, are an
honor to him. But why he should dress in
such way that the very boys in the streets
are tempted to holler Country" at him. is
beyond our comprehension. He knows
what's nice and what isn't, rs well as any
man, but seems to think that on accouat of
expense or some other reason that these
things are not for him. That's all nonsense

Evening Entertainments.-A com,

Evening EntertalnmentS.-A committee
on the part of the Odd Fellows have en-
gagged some of the best lecturers and read
crs i'll the country for the entertainment of
our citizens during the winter evenings.
Among those advertised to-day will be
found Horace Greeley, one of the foremost
lecturers i'll the country, and George Van
derhof, acknowledged to be the first reader
in the United States. Other lecturers and
readers will he secured to fill up the course
for the season. Such talent cannot be
obtained without paying handsome price
for it-and inferior is not worth procuring.
We ask our citizens to show their appreci-
alton of tirst-class talent, and to verify the
expectations of the committee on the part
of the Hall by patronizing those lectures
and readings as they deserve.

The way the Fire Apparatus of Elkton is

taken care Olive saw a boy the other
day carrying slop in one of the engine
buckets. Such attention on the part of
the Commissioners is not merely blamable,
it is criminal. Another fire will break out
one of these days and raid on the kitch-
ems will be made, and all the tin kettles,
pots, ETC., will be pressed into service. A
good opportunity will be offered to petty
thieves, and some of them will be stolen.
No ladders have yet been provided, but in
lieu thereof, some of the holes were patched
in the hose and the apparatus laid away
for the rats, and the residue of that 40
cents on the hundred dollars is being APP
propriated as General Mcclellan appropria-

Man kilIed.-A young man, named
George May, native of Cheltenham, Eng
land, was instantly killed, near Newark
station, on Thursday afternoon, by being
run over by engine No. 4s. He was a
traveller. on his way from New York to
Baltimore. A very strange feature of the
accident was the fact that he was walking
on the track opposite to the one on which
the locomotive was coming, and when the
engine was close to him, apparently DELHI
erately stepped on the other track. His
remains were taken in charge by the sta
tion-master, and a Coroner's inquest held
Thursday evening.
