CHICAGO, June 6.
Indian Troubles.
A party of Sioux Indians near Fort Steven
son, Dakotah, lately attacked party of Chey
ennes, killing one and wounding several. The
Cheyennes to the number of about 500 lodges,
were terribly exasperated and threaten war to
the knife against the Sioux. -Four or five
other tribes had manifested disposition to
unite with the Cheyenne in their revenge, and
there are pro poets of bloody times among
the savages in that region.
Tornado.
a destructive tornado swept over Scott Co.,
ILL.,, an Saturday. 1t covered an area of four
or five miles in length and mile wide.
Fences were demolished, and fields of wheat,
corn, oats and garden vegetables were COM
pletely destroyed. The largest forest trees
were torn up by the roots, and orchards and
vineyards were ruined. No lives were lost.

The Negro Senator.

Referring to the outrage lately perpetrated
in our sister State, the Memphis Sun of the
22d inst. says;
Rev H. r. Revels, coored member of
the State Senate, was elected to represent
Mississippi in the United States Senate for
the term expiring on March 4th, 1871.
Revels was born in North Carolina of free
parents, is forty-seveH years old, and was
educated in Ohio The Mississippi Legis
lature have adopted a memorial TO Congress,
asking for the removal of all disabilities of
the citizens Of that state, and Mr. ReveIs Is
entrusted with its presentation. This
action ought to delight the heart of Sumner.
Mississippi not only adopts the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth amendments, but elects Gen.
Alcorn for the long term, Gen. Ames for
the next longest term, aDd a genuine
African for the short termi This Is the
first person of African descent that has ever
been elected to the Senate of the United
heart Of Sumner, Butler q Co, who are
straining every nerve to prevent the admIs-
sion of Virginia with her white Senators
Surely reconstruction has accomplished It's
perfect work in Mississippi, and with such
absolute humiliation on the part OF the
State. the Radicals in Congress will hardly
hesitate a moment about admitting her
representatives The price paid seems TO
US ont of all proportion to the advantages
to be derived from representation, but as
the dominant party In Mississippi have per-
petrated the wrong we suppose there IS ne
remedy Poor Mississippi

We ought to be, that we would be, thrashed
for dealing in certain personalities. All we
have to say, we find in the language of some
unknown individual:
fighting man has been employed on
this paper. He weighs eight hundred
pounds, His wrists are the very tools of
death, his hair is short; his eyes are black
his boots are No. IL o, he is a monster,
this fighting man of ours He goes for men
like an ant does for green cheese. He was
never thrashed. ., he is a whale He ate
seven cans of ovesters at our Office the 9th
er night, and called for more He's the
heaviest installment Of total and eternal
punishment on record Come at US, ye
lean and lank, Overgrown specimens of hu-
manity; spit on our boots if you dare. Slide

A Royal Progress.

We see it stated in Republican print
that General Grant will, during the coming
summer visit Europe in a National vessel,
and that he VIII be the guest, at the head of
a brilliant staff, of the leading crowned
heads of Europe. He will visit Queen Vic
toria, Napoleon, King William of Prussia,
and the, Gar Alexander of Russia. The
Cincinnati Enquirer, one of the most reIia-
bic papers in the Union, says it is altegeth-
er possible that the reprot is true. 1t har-
monies with the taste and disposition of
Grant. He is fond of travel and ostenta-
tious pageantry. It would crafty his pride
and vanity to hob-nob with the monarchs
and soYcreigns of the Old World Having
80 democratic spirit or procliyities, nothing
would suit him better than to row around
Europe in a vessel of war, and to be the he
ro of public receptions, We look, there
fore, at an early period, for bis departure
from our shores on a vagabondizing excur-
sion among Emperors, Kings and Princes.
But we beg of them not to estimate him as
a specimen either of American ability, hon.
or or dignity
