ST. LOUIS, July 14-A dispatch
from Omaha gives the following re-
port from General e. A. Carr. of his
operations against the Indians:
On the 11th inst. | surprised a
village of Dog Soldiers and Chey-
ennes, under command of Tall Bill;
killed fifty-two, and captured seven
teen women and children, among
them the wife and daughter of Tail
Bill. They had two white women,
taken on the Saline. They murdered
one, whose first name was said 20 be
Susanna We gave her Christian
burial They attempted to murder
Maria Weight, but the ball glanced
on a rib. and she will probably re-
cover. The surprise was very com
plete for such an open country. They
did not get off a single pack, and lett
most of their saddles, and will have
no shelter or food, except horse meat,
till they can fnd Buffalo. We cap
tured thirty-six animals, eighty-s six
lodges, forty rifles, twenty pistols, a
number of robes, and large quantities
of camp equipments, which was de-
stroyed. We followed them for ten
days, and found them at a spring east
of the South Platte, near Valley Sta

A CORRESPONDENT who modestly
speaks for the citizens of the North
west part of Evansville and Wander
burgh County, wants the officers Of the
Evansville, Carmi and Paducah Rail
road Co. to agree to three or four
very foolish thugs, in order to secure
his vote for their enterprise. We
print his communication, because it
shows the absurd view which some
men take Of every great enterprise.
The Directors of the Carmi Road
could not do a more foolish thing
than even to talk about locating de-
pots until there is some assurance
that the road they represent will be
built. esQr any Of our citizens to say
that Che depots must be located where
it will benefit their property alone, or
they will oppose voting a'd to the
road, is to take so selfish view Of
the matter, that its endorsement by
the officers OF the road would inn
mediately result in combining all
other interests against their enter
prise. We-suspect that the people in
the country do not feel particularly
interested as to where-the depot shall
be located. We also presume that
the location of the depot will depend
greatly upon the point at which the
road enters the city, and the liber-
ality of the property owners who de-
sire to have the depot near their

A BIG religious and temperance re-
vival is in progress in Richmond, &,
Wayne County. GREEN, a saloon
keeper, has been converted, and the
citizens, in honor of the event, pur-
chased him a new grocery store and
solemnly dedicated it with prayer,
singing and earnest exhortation.
Christians were called on to give
GREEN their trade. GREEN, it is evi-

would signify. He will not serve
God for naught. He evidently re-

plan be devised for bringing religion
into contempt than such exhibitions
as the dedicatory services at GRE-'N's
