GET US HAVE PEACE =
More Arms for sOurhern Blacks

From the St. Louis Times Oct. a.
At the wharf in front of this city, there
are enough arma, muskets and cannon to
freight steamer. The owners Of these
indictments of crime would employ savage
negroes in unfolding despolisms in this
and Southern States, more intolerable than
that which blackens Russian fame, or has
ever cursed Greek subjects Of Ottoman
misrule. The masters of vessels refuse to
become agents oftyrants. Money is offered
in vain, and the boxes of guns and NUM-
lions gathered by the adherenta of him
who pirates about peace, lie exposed TO
rains and frosts, and to the deprsdations OF
thieves. If Grant sought the cOuntry's
peace rather than the promotion of The
selfish ends of petty desPots, who rule the
South, his soldiers would seize and destroy
these munitions of war. They should
never be distributed in the South. The
prosperity Of this city and peace of the
whole country demands their destruction.
Will not the public authorities intervene TO
render impossible the consummaIion OF
plans, devised by adventures in the South,
who would precipitate another war, in
6uitely more terrible and disastrous than
that which recently left our country SCARED
and blood stained? If the public anthori-
ties stand aloof, the river is deep and
broad enough to conceal forever this last
| evidence OF the inlamy and bloot-thEstI-
ness Of cowardly tyrants.

WEST VIRGINIA. lq'

From the Wheeling Rssistes Oct. Is.

| From the Wheeling Register Get. q.
Although the returns tromthelate elec-
ton in this State come in with provoking
slcwness, theyindicate results Of themost
satisfactory Character. Telerably com
pIete renorts are in from about eighteen
counties out of the fftyathres composing
this State. They show net Democratic
gain of about twenty-five iaandred, and
the same ratio of gain Throughout the
State, which ratio certainly exists,
gives US West Virginia by handsome
msjority. -, 81. .i, 49, jet
all have been heard from In no other
ouarter copld the Radicals expect any
ga;ns IN the majority Of two years ago.
fbev have failed to receive them even
there AMI of course can expect netting
but creater losses in the Democratic re-
oions from which we are now beginning
to hear. .as.sj,.
We look for Democratic gains in the
remaining counties, much Iargerthan in
those that have been heard from, 1t is
true that their vote in tie past has not
been yery heavy, but this fail the reg iso
trat;on has been immense, and IN. some
sections unanimously Democratic. The
changes. too. from Radiealism 10 DeDoc-
racy have been VERY great and these
alone would almost give us the Stlte.
Taking the new votes into the count, we
are satisfied that the thirty-twa counties
whose returns are net yet N eEl.l give
us amply sufficient gains TO SNOW DemO-
cratic majority in the State of from
twenty-five hundred to three thousand.
In the Legislature we have gained
handsomely. We have gained one dele
gate in Jefferson, one in Hampshire, one
in Mineral, probably one in the Grant
and Hardy district, two in the Peasants
and Wood district, and we hope two in
Harrison county, although it Is claimed
that Davis and Wilson are beaten IN the
latter county by about IS. Henry q.
Davis, Esq, is undoubtedly elected to the
Senate from the Hampshire district and
Peterson, we learn, has beaten Farms"
worth in the Upshur county district
These are both gains. In the Greenbrler
region, and other distant portions OF the
State, we shall certainly increase largely
our strength in the Legislature. There IS
every reason to believe that weshall have
q majority on joint ballot, and thus be
able to send Democrat to the United
States Senate as the successor OF Mr.. van
Wrinkle. Two out Of the three members
of Congress from this State seem to be
ours, and the case of the third IS by no
means hopeless.
With such results as these already as
sured, how thoroughly inspired for the
work ofNoYember 3D. should be every
Democratic heart The glorious deeds of
last Thursday thrilled the nation from
one end to the other. If we do not ialter
in the work we can give the State to Sey"
mour and Blair byan increased majority,
and will make permanent and secure the
fruits ofDemocratc victory for which we
have so earnestly longed and so diligently
labored

Correspondence Of the st. Louis Republican.
LARAMIE, WYOMING TERRITORY, Oct 10.
The terrible dOings of last night and
this morning may be Of interest to yOur
readers. Last night about half past 10
0 o'clock, the honest portion of the citizens
of Laramie were aroused by terrific fir
ing in the direction of the Belle Of the
West, low dance-hOuse on Front street
Soon the town was in terrible state Of
excitement, and it was soon known that
the vigiIanters were out in full force.
They first visited the above dance-house,
where they found Asa Moore, who drew
his revolver and was about to fire, when
he was immed lately shot down. They
then arrested Con Wager, who has been
harboring thieves and garrOters, and d.
yiding the spo.ils with them. These two
we're taken curt and Immediately hung.
The next victim was a man they call
"Big Ned" q. noted thief and garrOter.
He was taken over, and soon bore the
others company, dangling in the air. The
yirilants then divided themselves in
squads. and secured the town for other
victims, but most of them had left town.
They found some few of less notoriety,
and gave them notice to leave the town in
SO many hours. They all took the hint,
with the exception of hard headed gar7
roter named Steve Young alias Big
Steve" who defed thea to do their
worst. This morning he was arrested,
and in few moments was dangling to a
telegraph pole
For the past.three month these fellows
have been 4 terror to LaramL ., seldom a
might passing but some poor allow was
robbed of his earnings, until m, IN were
afraid to enter the town. The W. 0rk OF
last night and tO<day, it is supposed, will
drive out all these thieves and despe Ta'
does, and make Laramie quiet place.
Daring the first firing two railroad
men, names unknown, and a fiddler
! named Charles Barton, were shot, the
latter fatally.

hundred are called for our little army would be
so scattered as to be of little or no use. With
this small force in the last two years have
done as much as any reasonable man could
hope for, and If any man be incredulous, let
him enlist in my company, and he will soon 6nd
out if he don't earn his pay.
As to the frontier settlements, have again
and ag am warned the Governors aud the people
that until this Indian matter was finally con-
Guided their people should not spread out SO
much. Their isolated FARMS with horses and
cattle, are too tempting to hungry and savage
bands OF Indians. II, however, they will not be
restrained by motives OF prudence, the people
should, rs they used to do in Ohio, Kentucky,
Iowa. and Missouri, make their settlements In
gfoups, with block. houses and sod fort, so that
when the savage comes they may rally aud de-
fend themselves and their stock. 1t is a
physical impossibility for the small army
we all know kind Congress maintains
with yearly threats of further reductions,
Kansas, Nebraska Dacotah, Montana, Wyoming,
Colorado, aud New Mexico. These States and
Territories must, by organizing their people
into sort of militia, be prepared to defend
their exposed settlements, aud to follow up and
destroy the bands of marauding Indians and
horse thieves, both red and white, that now
intest them. and carry on a profitable business.
The army cannot do iC any more than we can
catch all the pickpockets and thieves in our
cities. Clamor on this subject against me or
General Augur or General Sheridan is simply
folly. We do our duty according 10 our means,
and account TO our superiots, and not to the
people who neglect our advice and counsel.
II you think this will be cf any service to the
border people, have no objection to its use.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 23.-The Democrats of West

chances of defeat. The ignoring yesterday of
Colonel Maulsby, conservative; J. Phillip Ro-
