ST. LOUIS Ocl. 24-A special from Topeka
Kansas, says that late advices from the Indian
country are very encouraging. The Indians
are thoroughly demoralized, ,and fleeing to their
agencies, leaving everything behind but their
ponies, arms and clothing. The recent surren-
der of Satanta and other leading chiefs has
demoralized all hostile parties, and it is be-
ieved they do not contemplate further resist.

Gen. Miles is now on Wolf Creek, making

Col Biddle is guarding the adobe walls coun-
try and the crossing of the Canadian river, and
Colonel Price is securing the country between
the Indian river and the north fork of that
stream.
Captain Chaffee destroyed five lodges and
captured about 100 ponies on the Sweetwater
the 10th inst, and Lieut.. Baldwin captured
number of horses and destroyed so on the head
waters of the Red river about the same time,
Gen. Miles regards the campaign as an entire
success. He has given the Indians a severe
chastising whenever met and destroyed an
amount of property which they cannot replace
in years. His command is well supplied with
rations and fresh horses, and will make short
work of the remainder.

SEVEN thousand citizens of the state of
Nevada are actually starving. Gen. Ord,
commanding the department of the Platte,
says several cases of actual death have already
taken place, and fathers have been compelled
to abandon their families and seek work and
food. In one house the corpse of child was
found that had perished of hunger, and near
1t the mother, dying of the same cause. This
sad state OF things is caused by no fault of
the settlers. They are thrifty and industri-
Gus, but The grasshoppers ate up their crops
and they are now approaching long winter,
absolutely destitute of the necessaries of life.
The English have recently fed hundreds of
thousands of starving Hindoos, but within
eighteen hours travel of Chicago some of the
best of our population is starving. Surely
such things ought not to be.

Secretary Brstow and Postmaster General
Jewell had consultation with the President

that the vacancies may be supplied by the per-
sons whose. chief recommendation is their great

is convinced that changes ought to be made

this will be done.
