Correspondence Of the Union and American.
RAWLINGS, Wyoming Territory, July 3,
1S7S.-On the morning of June q hired
man Of John Foote'S lift this place for a
place known as Pine Grove, ABOUT eight
miIas south of here, where he was in the
habit of Ogtai4ing wood, but before he
reached his destination Ge bas attacked by
two indians, and although badly wounded,
managed to escape with his team. His ar
rival in town created quite a sensation, and
in few minutes party of ten men left for
Pine Grove, which pace they reached
about dark, but ielnd no Indians. They
then took the trail and foiIowe>. it FOR some
time, but in the darkness it was lost.
As soon as it was Sscertained that the trail
was lost, they determined to rest until
morning, Morning came at last, but the
trail could not be found, and sc game was
plentiful they determined to t,l some Snd
take breakfast; but in ascending q small
ridge they discovered some Indians Just
leaving mp. They rode up 10 them and
the chief pretended TO be friendly: but in
looking over the herd Of Indian ponies
they discovered several belonging to citizens
Of this place They asked the chief If he
would give Iheln zap. BE said 10. Sheriff
Hawley then proposed LOS tsao them pris-
oners and bring them to RaN.ins, lI.t they
said no RsWlins, and commenced to Eight,
and in a few moments all were engaged.
Owing to superior arms and better oTgani-
zation of the whites, the Indians were bad
ly whipped and out Of the twenty-five, only
ten escapeu unEu,tt. But these were soon
reinforced, and the whites We're forced TO
retreat, WHICH they did in good order, bring
ing with them IL ponies, saddles and brides.
A few soldiers arrived this morning, but
they don't amount to anything TO fight III
dams. Settlers have come into town, and
we have scouts out all the time, and the re-
port Is that the Indians are massipg for q
grand rain.
The Indians killed people al around here,
and the soldiers did nothing. The citizens
have come to the conclusion that it is time
TO make themselves known, aud they will
do go on the first opportunity. j. Z. D.

SALEM, FAUoUIER Co. Oct. 20.-The town
of Salem is stirring little village, beautifully
situated not far from the base of the Blue Ridge
Mountains in the midst Of the rich, rolllng'
picturesque OF lands Of Fauquier, and celebrat-
cd, not only for the honesty and hospitality OF
its inhabitants, but for, their great c1pertncSs
in pugilism; nor is instrumental fighting UNI
Known 10 this peaceful hamlet, though never
resorted to except when the other wont an
swer. Salem was one of the capitals of Mosbys
coptederacy. | say Que of the capitals, ior
there are several cities in these parts who Claim
that honor, and Salem is 10 many respects
very capital place. Ga last Saturday 1t was
the scene of grand Conservative mass meet
ing and barbecue. No better opportunity
could have been given, and no opportunity,
| could have been better taken advantage of than
this for Salem to show 10 all its glory her pa
tliotic loyalty aud protuse hospitality. The
speaking was 10 the open air In large oak
grove near the village, where stand aud seats
! had been erected as we'll as tables, and all the
necessary appliances for the biggest OF big din
uers. But we will come to that presently, aod
your correspondent will assure you here that be
did justice to that dinner. There was such
turnout as the occasion was worthy OF, aud ut
an early hour in the forenoon the grove was
thronged, and the speaking commenced. Mr..
James V. Brooke, Of Warrenton, was intro
duced and made most able and effective ad
dress. He defended the administration OF the
Conservative party in the State for the last
four years. and showed how the Legislature
had doue all that it could have done, aud how
almost every measure it had adopted had ten
ded to the restoration of prosperity and real
good of the State. Mr.. Brooke spoke also on
other points, occupying the audience for above
two hours. Alter dinner a genuine old Viz
GINA barbecue feast was followed by Coloue
Beard, of Ohio, who made an allie speech, a
large part of which was aimed principally at
the colored part of his audience, and if any
thing could be said that could Influence our
colored fellow citizens the pointed and for
chile arguments of Col. Beard must do
it. He was loudly and frequently appluuded,
not only by the whites but also by the coored.
He was followed by Gen. Field, of ,CuIpsper
who spoke in his usual happy style, and at
sunset the meeting broke up. Col. Beard and
Gen. Field spoke again that night IL Warren

Why Clover Improves the soil

Professor Tockier thus explaios the action of
clover increasing the fertility of the soil
"AlI who are perfectly acqu ,inted with the
subject must have seen that tile best crops of

of clover grown for SEED have come 10 the
conclusion that the very best preparation, the

amount OF mineral manure is brought within
reach OF the corn crop, which, otherwise, would
remain in lock- dup condition in all the soil.
