THE INDIAN WAR.
Particulars Of tho Death of

The Omaha Herald Of the 10th
contains accounts by three differ
ent correspondents Of the fight
with the Indians in which Lieut..
Stambaugh lost his life. They
furnish some interesting particu
lars, the main portion Of which is
given below.
ATLANTIC CRY, W. T., May 5.
The tocsin of the Indian war in
the West is sounding in every di-
rection. The first regular battle
with Indians took place yesterday.
Co. d, Second Cavalry, command

for victims for the scalping knife.

o'clock the fight was raging at

The South.

We had a call, the other day,
from our friend DR.. G. A. Trimble,
and In the course of q somewhat
lengthy conversation with him
CLEANED much information relative
to the state Of feeling and affairs in
the South generally. The DR.. says
that society in Georgia is very
much unsettled, that there is but
little miugling between Northern
and Southern people. The south
crners are Just MS bitter and vindic.
tive as during the war, although in
terested motives make them more
conciliating in manners toward
Northern visitors. The DR.. was
indirectly connected with the
Frcedmen's bureau and assures us
that three.t .tourths of the colored
people who make application for
bounty and back pay are able to
read and write, all of which thcy
have learned during the war, and
when asked where they learned in.
variably reply that Captain, Lieu.
tenant or Sergeant so and so, had
taught them at Beaufort. He also
stated that he had never known a
people to thirst 50 for knowledge.
Old men, who work hard all day, 90
to night school, and those that can.
not read and write are the excep.
tion. There are so many North.
ern people in Georgia that they
are not dependent on Southerners
for society, and consequently are
able to treat thom as cavalicrly as
they were themselves formerly
treated. 1t is a noticeable fact
that the poorer people of the
South, who have never owned a
slave are the ones that complain
The most. They can see no good

Identified with their own interest
