ofterror IN Paris again. Terror falls upon

The Indian affairs at Fort Sill are still
in an unsettled condition. The kiOwas
and Cheyennes are still on the war path
committing depredations. A Texas party
Of twenty Indians attacked Whaleys
ranchC, near the mouth Of Little Wachita,
in Texas, on the 18Th Of July, killing o
man named J.. G. Wareills and wOunding
another man.
About the Goth Of July large party Of
Indians, numbering about $50, raided In
CoOk and Mantczan counties, Texas. They
killed a man named COoScr, and carried of
his wife and five children, three Of the lat
ter young women. They also wounded
several people. Aparty Of the Sixth Uni
ted States Cav Try, from jackson, Texas,
pursued them to near WachitN, when the
Indians, seeing that tho troops were about
sixty In number attacked them, and q
severe fight cnsucd, in which 90 soldiers
were killed and several wounded. The
troOrs fell back to Jacksboro, and being
reinforced pursued the Indians, but could
not overtake them. All tho Comanches
have left tho war camps and gone off to-
gethcr. 1t Is rumored TINT they desire
peace. The Kiowas, Apachcs and Chcy-
cnncs still hold together. h.

The Nun Who Plans the PrusSian
Al. Campalgns. -l

The commander OF the Prussian army,
under thcI King, Is Hellmuth Freiherr yon
Moltke, whose military title Is Lieutenant
General and Chief Of the General staff:
Hc is represented as man Of great mod
esty and simplicity; is extremely reserved
and bears the surname of "The Silent" "
His composurc and cQuanimity IRE the
same on the battlefield as in the council.
The great achievement Of his life is the
campaign Of 1866, against Austria, which
was planned by him and executed under
his direction. When, in May, 1865, in con-
sequence of the action Of the Bund, PruS.
sia declared the old German Confederation
dissolved, the admirable skill with which
her military preparations had been made
was evident. She was enabled 10 notify
Saxony, Hanover and Hesse CasSel to re.
duCe their armies, and consent to the as.
sernbling of a German Parliament, and TO
demand compliance with these terms in
twenty-tour hours. These powers failing
to respond, the Prussian army, next day,
crossed into and took possession Of the
three kingdoms War was declared against
Austria, and the army marched into BO'
llcmia. The Austrians were taken by sur.
prise, The Prussians moved in three lines;
the centre under command Of Prince
Frederick Charles; the right wing under
General Won Bittentield, and the lel
under Prince Frederick William, "our
Fritz" who has recently driven back
the right wing Of the French un.
der McNIahon. The declaration Of
war was made on the Goth Of June.
On the Path the PrusSiOns entered Bohe.
mia. There were almost daily fights by
each Of the three armies, which effected a
union on the lst OF July, and, on the Sd
of that month, fought the great battle Of
Salowa, which destroyed the Austrian
army under BCncdek, and ended the war,
The whole campaign, involving a reOr-
ganizatiOn of the Germany, lasted less
than three weeks. 1t was magnifCently
planned, and rs brilliantly executed.
The same military genius to which
Prussia owed the victory Of 1866, Is now
directing the successful operations Of the
Prussian armies, which, instead Of defend.
ing Berlin, as 1t was proposed they should
do by the French Emperor, are now car.
rying on the war on French soil, and fore.
ing tho campaign to decisive issue on
one Of the roads to Paris, If this war
shall terminate in the triumph Of Prussia,
the name Of Moltke will stand among the
great captains Of tho world.

King William Issues a Proclamation
to the French People.
LONDON August II.
The King of Prussia has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation:
We, William, King Of Prussia, make
known to all the inhabitants Of French
territory occupied by the German forces,
that the Emperor Napoleon having by
sea and land attacked the German
nation, which is eager to live in peace
with the French people, have taken com.
mand of the German army TO rcpcl
tho aggression, and by military events
have been led to pass the French frontier.
We war against soldiers, not citizens;
therefore the latter may continue secure
III person and property so long as
they abstain from hostile acts, and we
grant them protection as matter Of
right. Corps commanders will decide
what measures arc necessary towards
individuals and communities violating the
usages of war. They will also regulate
the acquisitions necessary to sustain their
troops, and fix the difference Of exchange
between the German and French curren-
cy, in order to facilitate dealings between
the soldiers and citizens.
