letter from Ellsworth, Kansas, dated on the 14th
inst. says:--
on Monday, the 18th inst, band OF about two
hundred Indians appeared on Spellman's creek
about sixteen miles northwest OF Ellsworth. On
arriving at the house OF Mr.. Shaw they caught and
beat him numerically and drove him away. The
devils then caught Mrs. shaw and her sister and
outraged their persons. Some thirty or more OF the
savages continued to abuse these helpless women
until long after the latter had become sense
less After destroying Mr.. Shaw's property the In
dians left the women for dead and proceeded to the
house of Mr.. Smith and beat him in the same man
ner and outraged the person OF his WIFE, leaving her
ali the women who have been subjected to these out
races are fatally injured. The red devils met ana
ABUSED several other citizens by beating them and
after destroying all the property within their reach
they left for the North These poor women say that
for five or six hours they were subjected to outrage
and they show fearful marks Of the cruelty Of their
captors In their efforts Of resistance they received
very serious injuries.
A detachment Of soldiers was sent after the IN
nians from Fort Harker, accompanied by fifty or
eIxtv settlers on wednesday night they sent for
Teinforcemants and on Thursday full company,
upder the command OF Colonel Benthe, started for
the scene OF the outrages The latest report Is that
Coloncr Bentlne came upon the inalans, VINO nad
some ten or fifteen women surrounded IN mousse
aud that he mad driven the Indians away; Dut
whether he killed any OF them was not ascertalned
These are probably the same Indians who have been
numbering and committing other outrsees Oh ooio-

DISASTROUS FIRE IN PHILADELPHIA.

From the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, Aug 49,
About two O'Clock this morning the private watch
man on the eastern side OF Front street, between
from the crevices OF the iron shutters the second
floor OF the extensive reproof building the south
west corner OF Front and New streets. The fire, In
consequence of the combustible nature OF the con-
tents burned rapidly. and In few minutes the
building from the second story up was In flames
The fremen were unable to get water on the fiames
owing TO the mpossibty Of breaking open the iron
shutters and they had to content themselves with
playing the aqueous auid over the W. walls and roof
the burning building were not quenched
until the whole OF the upper part was
DESTROYED and nothing Ia left this morning but the
first floor and the walls, which had been well built.
The origin OF the fire Is mystery at present but the
supposition IL that II was caused by spontaneous
coiibus.ion az the floor on which the flames were
first seen contained an exceedingly large quantity Of
wooi and cotton
Tnc building consisted OF two compartments, four
stories In height, separated by stout wall and iron
doors The larger was forty-three feet on Front
street, and about one hundred feet on New street;
and the smaller one about the same width and sixty
feet on new street. The Front street structure was
the one In which so much damage was inflicted,
the partition wall and iron doors saving the rear
one Ihs latter building was occupied by Collins h
EObb provision ard commission merchants, AZ O
s,orehouse. They had on hand about two hundred
thousand pounds OF shoulders, one hundred and
barrels OF beef hams, and twenty-five barrels OF
smoked beef. on which there was an insurance OF
ssOO0O which viii. u II believed, cover the loss.
In the second story there were on storage eight
hundred bales OF wool, the property of Bullock's
sons, valued at 100000. This is covered by insu-
rance. Caghorn, Herring h Co. also had on this
moor large quantity OF cotton, most OF which was
DESTROYED. Tho third and fourth floors were occu-
MED l.; II. A. Bartlett & Co., backing manufac-
turers. Their entire stock was destroyed, but we
could not learn their loss or insurance. Mr.. Thomas
Farm had one hundred barrels OF lard I'm the cellar
ard thev suffered to considerable extent by water.
The smoke occasi0ned by the burning cotton, wool
and grease was very dense and interfered much

Legislafive-The Lottery BNl Become n Law
Metropolitan Police Bill.
NEW ORLEANS, August 1s, 1858.
The Lottery bill, against which the presiding
officers of both houses protested so strongly on sign
ing the same, has become law without the gov
ernor's signature, by lapse OF time
Not satisfied with the bill passed some time since,
vestng the control OF the police affairs of this city in
Board OF Commissioners independent OF the city
authorities, another bill Is before the Senate
creating metropolitan police district, comprising
the city and parishes OF Orleans and Jefferson and
the parish OF ST. Bernard providing that the powers
and duties connected with and incident TO the police
government and discipline in said district be vested
In Board or hve commissioners, OF which the Lieu
tenant Governor IS ex-oFcfO President The Board
is to appoint the superintendent inspectors, cap
tains, surgeons, sergeants, ratrolmen, clerks and
doormen. The commissioners are to be appointed
by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate. The
advocates OF the bill say that 1t resembles In most
respects the metropolitan Police bill of New York.
IL contains the usual proviso that no one
can hold the most subordinate position created
who Is disqualified to hold oce under the fourteenth
article or under the State constitution. The Board
Is empowered to provide such accommodations for
itself as 1t may deem requisite and appoint special
policemen at di 3cretion. The members OF the Metro
potan Police force are empowered to discharge all
cOnStabulary powers, except civil process, In any
part Of the State. The Board is to select one OF
their own members as treasurer to control the dis
bursemen fund.- 1t is also provided by this bill that
the Board be empowered to pass enactments
defining the powers and duties OF the officers and
members OF thls force, only providing that such
actments do not conflict with this act or with the
constitution OF the United States and this State The
bill makes 1t a misdemeanor, punishable with a fine
and Imprisonment, to use personal violence upOn or
abusive or threatening language to any member
OF this force; provided, also, that all criminal pro-
cess issuing from any court justice judge within
the district be served by members OF this force and
by them alone, and no constable or deputy sheriff
shall hereafter attend such courts or be paid by any
authority within said district The Board author
lZed 10 exercise the powers now conferred
or cities In respect to requiring the aid of the mill
tary also to estimate the sums required for carrying
out TINS law, ana assess them upon the various cor.
from their assessment. They are also empowered
to lease or purchase anything they deem
necessary for their accommodation such purchase
or lease to be proper debt against the city corpora
ton; also to procure steamboats,, horses or any
means OF conveyance they may deem necessary.
An additional section offered yesterday, providing
that the entire cost of this police service shall not
partY vote.

HAVANA, August 1S, 1858.
We have sttl later advces from Port au Prince to
August 10.
The planters of the republic have been compelled
to sell their coffee to President Sanaves agents at
very cheap rate. These latter make large profits on
resales OF this produce.
The excesses committed on the peaceabe inhab
tants are of the most outrageous character
President Salnave seems to spurn the protests
of the foreign consuls, who demand salts
faction for the injury done to the subjects Of their
respective governments. He is, however, contem-
plating abdicaton and flight to Turks Island. The
capture of the Sylvan, with Salnave's baggage and
family aboard, is confirmed
The revolution seems to be triumphant.
