EDITOR EAGLE: In the last issue
appears in your ''leader" the follow
ing:
But our own experience has taught
us that not only do politicians fail to
render any Legitimate support to pa
per, but i'm nine cases out of ten they
prove burthen. Let a paper COM

ignore all politicians, but defy them"
The sentiment of the above is noble,
and couched in language so tcrse that
it strikes the pulsation of every bust
ness man interested i'm the growth and
welfare of this city and the magnificent
valley that surrounds it. The local
paper of a people, particularly when it
represents the homogeneous elements
thereof, becomes domestic member of

FROM WELLINGTON.
WELLINGTON, KANSAS, Sept. 3

WELLINGTON, KANSAS, Sept. 3.
| EDITOR EAGLE: A fine rain the mid
die of the week assures good crop of
late corn, and plenty OF potatoes, and
other vegetables for winter use. We
shall have year ofplenty. and We hope
soon to see money easier. Prospect is
fair for large number of cattle being
wintercd in this county though the ex-
istcncc of the herd law casuscs consid-
cradle dissatisfaction among cattle
dealers. and tends to drive them to
other parts of the country, where they
can have free range without danger of
damaging crops. Corn can be con-
tracted fer at twenty-five cents per
bushel, and if producers have no stock
to feed, the crop will not bring much
money, consequently many will find it
difficult to pay for their claims.
We see the name of J. B. johnson, of
Jefferson county, mentioned as a call
didate for attorney general. The col
ohCi II Il DTdNe, tTuc Ui;tu. was one Oh
the first to shoulder his gun as a pri-
vate in the beginning Of the war, prov
ing as courageous in time ofwar, as hon
orable in peace. From many years ac-
quaintance and service in the same
regiment, we know whereof we speak,
and his own county, as well as the
boys in blue, would roll up his major
ity in the state second to no other.
Our young town of Wellington has
grown at lively rate this summer
faster than any other town i'm the coun-
ty, and we anticipate connection with |
Wichita some day by rail. Railroads
cannot reach us too soon. We want to |
see the Arkansas valley road under |
way speedily; also contemplated St. |
Louis connection. The high price of |
stuff is one Of the chief draw
backs to rapid improvement of this
part of Kansas, and some way should
speedily be devised to render the large
forests southeast of us available.

On the receipt Of the news, brought

to have little jollifcation. The prai-
rics for miles around were made to
echo ard rc-ccho the continual blasts of
the anvils. while huge bonfire lit up
the heavens with its lurid light. The
orators were all called on for speeches,
and the continued cheers of the as

was happy, and at late hour the
crowd reluctantly dispersed, feeling
that new era had dawncd upon our

An Important Line.


Passengers are now taken froh,
LcavenwOrth. to Burlingame. Empo-
ria, Wichita, Hutchinson, and the ex-
IRENE Southwestern frontier. with only
one change of cars, at GrasshOpper.
The narrow gauge road makes close
connections at Grasshopper with the
Atchison. Topeka Il Santa Fe. and by
this route Leavenworth now has the
best and most direct connection with
the Southwest; it has the advantage
over every other route of saving one
change OF ears and several hours DELAY.
n large portion OF our Southwestern
business is now done over this line.
and when the ears Of the A.. +. 4 ;.

as it is confidently expected they will.
within the next year-they will take
almost the whole of the Southwestern
trade. Our people entertain very
kindly feelings toward the Santa Fe
road. and will unite. with right good
will, in celebrating the day when its
first train shall run into our Union de-

AN INDIAN MASSACRE.
The Wagon Master and Fifteen Men
Killed.

Mr.. +. ii. Stanley, of Fort Larned,
arrived in the city last evening from
Denver, and is stopping at the Tefi't
House. lie reports:
Last Monday a government: train
consisting of thirty six-mule teams.
loaded with army supplies for Fort
Lyon, was proceeding along Dry creek
between Carson City and Fort Lyon.
Colorado. under the command ofSteve
Bryan. wagon master. While in the
valley of Dry creek the train mired in
the sand. While thus detained a band
of two hundred Arrapahoe warriors.
under command of their chief. Little
Raven. made an attack, which equals
in outrage and fcrocity any annals of
Indian massacrcs.
The wagons were burued. and all
contents that could be carried off were
mules were run off and fifteen men. be-
longing to the train, were found dead
on the bloody field. Mr. Bryan was
skinned alive from head TO foot by
the savages. Besides these. fifteen
men were missing. They are supposed
To have been carried into captivity.
The train was under escort Of Lieu
tenant Mcfarland, OF the Sixth L. :.
cavalry. with one hundred men. but
being nine miles in the rear at the
time of the massacre, no protection
could be afforded Mr.. STANLEY was
with the escort, aud when il arrived
AT the terrible scene. the savages were
just retiring over the hill beyond.
whirling their tonahawks and shout
ing in mad giee over their ill-got,en
gains.
Ii is said that Lieutenant Mcfarland
was criminally negligent in being so
far behind the train, when one-hali
mile is the usual distance. His con-
duet will be investigated.
Ii will be remembered that Little
Raven visited the great father at
Washington. "A few months since, and
promised TO be peacable: but the above
is am evidence of the Quaker policy
