sake in New York, this town Is situated
unon the saline or salt bearing group OF
rocks Some miles east of the village,
artesian wells have been sunk which pro-
duced salt water from which large quanti-
ties of salt are annually made Near the
Saline River north of this place and to
the west of it, the country has been
thrown into CONSERVATION at the brutal
outrages Of the Indians upon the frontier
settlers.
Some Of the outrages are 90 horrible
and indecent to be alluded to in news
paper.
The people are greatly aroused and de-
nounced in strong terms the I" peace poli-
cy" SO strongly advocated BY the ouakers
and their sympathizers-
They insist that the only way to stop
the Indian outrages is to 'clean them out,
-exterminate the race. His Excellency,
Gov. Harvey, who is here looking after
the interests of the frontier settlements,
is of the opinion that the Indians must be
conquered and made to know that we can
eXtermlnate them, ana turther, be lidae
to believe that we will do it unless they
remain peaceable
The Quaker superintendent, or agent
for the Cheyennes is here, (the Cheyennes
and Sioux are the tribes no" nlahihs wax
upon the whites,l but as the Indians are
now on the war path, he cannot reach
them, and will probably return to his
home in iowa, without accomplishing
anything, or even making test OF his
peace policy
a detachment OF cavalry from Fort
Leavenworth' passed mere 'A7t evening"
and should they "Nef'"Ne inc Ie''-7N'ii''
will probably neither give nor ASK quarter
t" those captured
