Our "Red Brothers,"

The Indians grow worse with our kind
treatment, and the more We give the
more they want-in the way of "boiled
hearts, tongues, ears, scalps," etc. Be-
low we append Leavcnworth telegram
of the 3Oth inst:
The Times and Conservative has re-.
ceived th, following additional particu.
lars in regard to the Indian massacre on
Fossil Creek: The Tongues and hearts
we're cut out of the men who we're killed
at that place. The calves of their legs
we're slit down, under their shoes aud
tied there pieces Of flesh were cut of
their backs; their ears we're cut of and
heads scalpcd, and pieces Of telegraph
wire stuck into their bodies. John Park,
Deputy United States Marshal, reports
that the Indians boiled the hearts Of
these men for medicine.
A special to the same paper from Fort
Harkcr says: From Washington Smith,
. settler on the Saline, Eve miles below
the scene Of the recent Indian murders,
We got confirmation Of our report oi
yesterday. The Swedish settlement at
lacked was seven miles above the mouth
of Spillman Creek.
The settlers oil lived in one house bu,
had no arms. Four men and Two women
attempted to reach another house. Jan.
sen aud bis wife, who were Danes, were
killed, the former shot in the head and
the latter in the abdomen. Two Ger
mans were found six miles of, shot. The
wife of one Of the latter and Swcde ore
missing-the eight persons who remained
in the house were not molested. At the
house Of Mike Haley, Tom Noon and
family, Mrs. Adderdice and children and
Mrs. Kire and children took refuge.
As there were no arms they started tt
reach safe places. Mrs. Kire was fol
lowed and one of her children was killet
and ono wounded and herself and another
carried of. The dead were stripped bu
not scalped or mutilated. The indians
went towards the Solomon, taking consid
cradle stock.
Tho calamity is chargeable to . lack
Of arms and ammunition, for wherever ,

Southampton received the following let
tor from Mr.. Revefdy johnson ID reply
to 90 Invitation TO q banquet before his
departure from that port ior America:
LONDON, May Is, 1859.
S,R-Thc hospitality of the inhabi.
tants Of Southampton rendered me 10 q
banquet, TO take place on such day as I
might name, prior to my departure from
England for America, l would gladly and
gratefully accept If l could hut my en-.
gagsmeuts are such that I end IL impossi
ble to do 80. From the moment Of my
arrival 10 your country to the present
time have used my best efforts 10 cul.
tivate in your people q friendly feeling
for tho United States, and I have reason
to believe in this have not failed. The
present invitation confirms mo in this
opinion. I shall leave England with the
conviction that the people and her gov.
srnment consider that war between the
two couutriei would be % dire calamity
% could befall them and this I have no
doubt Is also the conviction Of my gov.
eminent and the people Of tho United
States. For few days, owing to recent
occurrences to which Il is only necessary
to allude, apprchensions we're entertained
that such . misfortune might occur
these am gratified to find have already
ceased to exist. Ishall return, therefore,
to my homo with the assurance that the
amicabls relations between the two ma.
tions are not to be seriously disturbed.
This is not happening, the career Of both
will necessarily DO even more prosperous
10 the future than it has been in past, and
The cause Of FREQ government be placed
on 6rmer foundation than ever. With
my best wishes to you, Mr.. Mayor, and

CROPS, WEATHER, ETC.-Since
our last issue, farmers have been alb
sorbed i'm harvesting the fine crop Of
wheat, and rs general thing, are
now through with the arduous work.
The weather for the past two weeks
has been favorable to setting out to-
bacco, and considerable number are
now through with this work, and in
some few instances have plowed over
their tobacco crop twice, while in
other instances, half and three quar-
ter crops have been planted, and the
balance of ground prepared for tobac-
60, has been planted in late corn.
Oats are not looking so well as
could he wished, the growth, rs a
general thing, being short and heads
light.
Corn Is generally month behind,
and is not MS, clean us could be wished
from weeds and grass. AT this wri-
ting every thing looks favorable for
good crop year. and we hope from
the bottom of our hearts that such
may be the realization. .....
We have heard of offers made for
wheat July delivery, at from 81 to
81 10 per bushel, but have heard OF
no sales nj these prices. Farmers, as
n general thing, are disposed to hold
back for better prices.

Gardiner & Cos, who carry on the
painting business in all its branches,
employing some ten or twelve good
workmen, and using the very best
material, have among their employees,
Mr.. Syder, who is one of the most
finished workmen in the State. He
is emphatically genius-can turn
his hand to anything pertaining to
the beautiful art of painting. He
initiates rosewood, oaking, maple,
and mahogany, true to nature. In
fresco work he Is unequalled, as many
jobs done for some of our citizens will
fully show. In sign painting and
lettering he has few superiors. AS a
scenic painter, he exhibits tact and
taste of no ordinary degree. He
seems, by nature, to possess all the
requisites to handle the brush and
mingle colors to perfection. Messrs.
Gardiner & Co., are fortunate in hav-
ing such a workman, and no city fails
to appreciate skilled artisans in any
branch of trade. talia ga.
