Colonel Carr's Battle With the Ir.
dta1S

On the 1lth inst Colonel Carr, who is
well known in this State, ofwhich he is .
citizen, after leng and arduous search,
overlook, with the force under his COM
| mand, the party of Cheyenne and Dog
| Indians who have been marauding since
early. spring. numbering the settlers and
carrying OFT such white women as they
could capture. He overlook them in
the northeast part of Colorado, and after
a sharp engagement, in wich ffty-tu In
dams were killed. captured the entire
camp. The Indians were under the COM
mand of Tall Bull, who was killed, and
had with them number of other chiets.
The Indians had with them the e, iden-
ces of the success of their long foray.
Those who escaped carried off their
horses, and but little else. Three hun
dred horses, one hundred mules, and a
supply of revolvers and ammunition, were
part of the spoils left behind. Five tons
OF dried meat were found in the camp,
and also 5000 in money, which they had
unquestionably taken from the whites
they have murdered According to In
dian policy, when they were attacked
they sought to murder the white women
they held. One of II csc was killed, but
the other, though wounded, may live
The destruction of the camp will force
the escaped members of the band to
surrender, or to such subsistence as they
can pick up n the country.
The Indian policy of Genera! Grant is
undergoing a practical test, which, we
think, will demonstrate its wisdom. THE
Indians are offered residence upon
ample reservations, with provision tor
their support, under the supervision OF
agents who will neither plumber nor
otherwise abuse them, and who will aid
them In every way in the arts and indus
try of peace. To those who will not
accept these terms there is to be sharp
and speedy war. They must accept peace
and protection on the reservations, or
accept the alternative war; Indians mnst
hereafter be dealt with as individuals,
and not as nations, and those found in
hostility will be treated and punished as
other enemies. Colonel Cars successful
of this policy upon the
mixed gang of robbers and murderers
under Tall Bull will have its effect. The
Indians will find that they can be pun
lshed by military force, and that they
cannot escape that force, except by going
beyond the limits where they can prey
upon the whites Other marauding
gangs will profit by this lesson. and will
find 1t to be to their advantage to accept
the conditions of peace offered them by
the government.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.

1t takes uncommonly lively movements
to keep up with the lively reports from
the harvest fields. just at this time
they cover so vast an extent of country
that we may well have good reports from
one section, bad from another section,
and neither good nor bad, but the various
shades between, from still other parts
The harvest is ended in large proper
ton of the country, considered as TO geo
graphical area. And from this vast sec
ton of country, embracing, as we may
roughly say, Virginia, Kentucky, Mis-
soari, Kansas, the southern portions to
near the northern portions OF Ohio. In
diana, Illinois, Iowa, and much OF Mlchl
gan, there has been line crop OF wheat
ami other small grains, and 1t has been,
for the most past, safely cared tor. In
the northern parts OF the States just
named, and in Wisconsin and Minnesota,
the crops are yet standing, rapidly be
coming ready for harvesting. Though
the area to be harvested and stored is
less in geographical area than the other,
it embraces the wheat producing region.
par excellence, of the country. And from
most or this vast section the reports are
upon the whole unf;,vorable. The storms
of last week inflicted much damage-the
wheat having well headed out before
and half crop is all that is generally
promised The farmers think they will
do well if they get from eight to twelve
bushels to the acre.
The generalresult may be approximate
~ stated to be full crop in the larger
part of the country producing wheat to
considerable extent, and half crop
where wheat is the principal production
of the agriculturist. But all reports
agree that an unusually large breadth was
generally stated, is most likely sufficient
ground for the opinion that the wheat
crop of the year will surpass, i'll aggre-
gate quantity, that Of last year, or at
any rate be equal to it. If the wheat yet
to be harvested shall yield half crop,
such, we make little doubt will prove to
| be the fact.

A Little Girl and the King.

The King of Prussia, while visiting a
village in his land, was welcomed by the
school children Of the place. After their
speaker had made speech for them he
thanked them. Then taking an orange
from plate, he asked: ITO what king
dom does this belong"
1.-The vegetable kingdom, SIRE repli-
ed little girl.
The king took gold coin from his
pocket, and holding it up, asked And to
what kingdom does this belong?''

girl
And to what kingdom do I belong
then % asked the king.
The little girl colo:ed deeply, for she
did not like to say 1.-THE animal king
DOM as he thought she would, lest his
majesty should be offended. Just then
it flashed into her mind that God made
man in His own image" and looking up
with frightening eye, she said. 'To

The king was deeply moved. A teal

Democracy in It's DOtage.

Old names and traditions may do some
thing towards keeping noiticalorganiza
tons together, but will not altogethc
meet the requirements of these fast days
We may hoorah for General jackson will
full vigor of our lungs, but that will no
dispose General Grant. We may argu,
about sub-treasuries and hard money
but the country is flooded with green
backs, and people have forgotten wha
gold and silver looks like, and never ex
our victories in the olden times-how We
nation, with cause or without, and how
we were tor annexing the world and
maintaining the integrityof the Union in
the face of the universe in arms; but be
covered by causeiess and senseless re-
bellion, and we are afraid to openly
declare In favor of recognizing the indie
pendence of Cuba Like senile old men,
We can remember the days of our youth
We can glorify ourselves of the feats we
once performed but our joints seem to
| have grown stiff, our intellect weak and
our muscles sadly attenuated.
Whatare Democratic principles to-day?
Who knows? We wandered about in such
hopeless blindness in the fog of secession
that We seem to have become utterly lost,
| and do not know whittier we are moving.
Most of the principles we once held the
Repubilcans seem to have appropriated.
1t Is a Republican Senator that defies and
threatens our natural foe, the "Bloatcd
Brltlsher," it is the Republican press
that favors the independence and subse-
quent annexation of Cuba, while the
organ of our party whimpers out that
the Republicans are standing on our
platform. So they are, but where are we
standing. What have we to rest or
weary feet upon? Are we expected to
step off as SOON as they step on? Are we
to add the cowardicc and faulty of the
future to the cowardice and faulty of the
past? The peace men tried to guide IL
during the late war A;ewe to have no
better leaders for the next one if it
comes? We hear nothing as to what are
Democratic principles at present. Cop
perheadism was failure, and died the
death it SO richly deserved the proposal
to pay our debt in greenbacks has been
repudiated by the nation the everlasting
colorcd gentleman has secured all the
rights he knows what to do with and
few more; the women's Suffrage move
ment has not the dignity of a party
measure. Democracy is in state chaos.
1t cannot undo the irrevocable; it has
nothing to offer as an incentive persist
ance. Cannot somebody find us a few
principles? We are opposed to high
taxes, and in favor Of low taxes but the
nation must pay its debts, ard must
raise the means necessary for this pur-
pose. We believe in economy, retrench-
mcnt and REFORM but so do many
other people, and our example in this
city Is not an encouraging one to follow.
We must find principle or two, or we
shall never get back into power. Who
is prepared to furnish the genuine article?

EXTRAORDINARY SPECTACLE IN TENNEs-

The most curious phenomenon which
we have ever heard of. occurred in Cheat
ham county on Wednesday last. The
day, it will be remembered, was remarka-
bly, not, SO that most people i'll the coun-
tv had to seek the shade about noon. At
this hour, on the farm of Ed Sharp, five
miles from Ashland, sort of whirlwind
came along over the nelghboring woods,
taking up small branches and leaves of
trees and burning them in a sort OF fam
ing cylinder that travelled at the rate of
about five miles an hour, and developing
size as it travelled 1t passed directly
over the spot where a team of horses
were feeding and signed their names and
tails up to the roots; it then swept
toward the house, taking a stack OF hay
in its course, which 1T set on tire, 1t
seemed to increase in heat as 1t went,
| and by the time it reached the house, II
immediately fired the shingles from end
to end of the building, so that III ten
minutes the whole dwelling was wrapped

coloric then continued its course over a
wheat field that had been recently era

happened to be in its course. Passing
from the field, its path lay over stretch
of woods which reached to the river. The
green leaves on the trees wer crlsped to

When the ''pilar of fire. reached the
water, it suddenly changed its route
down the river, raising column OF
steam which went up 70 the clouds Tor
about half mile, when it finally died
out. Net less than 200 people witnessed
this strangest of strange phenomena, and
all of them tell substantially the same
story about it. The farmer Sharp was
left houselcss by the devouring element
and his two horses were so affected that
no good is expected to be got out q
them in the future. Several withered
trees in the woods through which ii
passed were set on fire, and continue
burning still. =
