THE Anchor plantation, situated on Ten
ssaS river, La, contains about 1,2O0 acres of
land, of which 800 acres were cleared and
in successful cultivation before the war. In
1860 the owners refused $4,000 for it. 1t
has now been in the market for several
years, and is offered for sale at $4,000,
without finding a purchaser. Mayhem
plantation, likewise situated on TenSas
river, contains 1000 acres Of land, 500 of
which have been cleared and cultivated.
| Before the war it was worth 100000; its
present Ualue is merely nominal, say 5000.
| These estates should be among the most
valuable on the continent. Before the war
they yielded their owners great incomes,
and could have been sold at theirf full value
on a days notice. In the city OF New Or
leans the finest blocks of buildings will not
| rent for enough to pay-the taxes on them.

The INDIANs.-OMAHA, Aug. 1S-
An expedition under command of
Col. Anson Mills, consisting Of three
companies Of the Third Cavalry, one
company of the Thirteenth and one of
the Fourth Infantry, is now encamped
near Rawlins, Wy. Three other COM
panies of cavalry and twenty Shoshone
Indians will join the command in
Sweet Water Valley. Their instruc-
tions are thoroughly to scout the val
leys Of the Sweet Water, Boulder and
Big Horn Rivers, and the country to
the::southern extremity of Yellowstone
Lake, and to administer the severest
punishment possible to all Indians
found out of their reservations. Much
is expected of this expedition. which
is finely equipped and will be in the
field about three months.

Ecclesiastical.

New YORK, Aug. l8--The ap-
preaching general convention Of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, to be
held in this city in October next, will
be one of the most important in the
history of that large and wealthy COM
munion. Twenty-six permanent COM
missioners and joint commissioners
have been appointed at previous ses-
sions, and will submit reports embody-
ing the results of their labors.
A petition is now before the House
of Bishops, asking for the conservation
of number of additional missionary
bishops tor the West and Northwest.
A project has also been agitated in the
same house for missionary bishop to
the Indians, and another to the blacks
Of the South.
The subject of intercommunion with
the Russo Greek Church has also been
referred to a commission, who have
visited Constantinople aud laid the
subject before the Patriarch of that
city. Another commission on friendly
intercourse with the Church of Swe-
den have visited Stockholm, and also
prepared report to the convention.
The call for church congress to
meet few days in advance Of the
General Convention, to discuss various
church topics: has met with varied re-
ception. In some quarters the idea is
strongly urged, while in others the
project is looked upon as an attempt
to unduly influence the convention IN
it's work.

HORRIBLE INDIAN CRIME. :

HORRIBLE INDIAN CRIME. "A
dispatch from Omaha says: A shock
ing murder, accompanied by torture,
was perpetrated in lonely spot in
Colfax county in this State on Sunday.
A number of Indians supposed Pawnees
camped near homesteader's cabin, and
two squaws went in search of food.
They came to the house when the man
was absent, and went through it. spite
of the wife's remonstrauces. Finally
they attempted to take away the family
provisions, to which the wife objected
The two squaws beat her over the head.
Just then the husband came IN, and
seeing his wife wounded, took his qua
and shot one of the squaws. The other
ran to the Indian camp and reported
what had been done. Twelve ct the
Indians then entered the house, cap
tured the homesteader, skinned him,
cut his hands off and his heart out.
This was done in the presence of his
wife. A large party of pursuers has
left West Point in search of the In
aians hui i is almost certain that they
will not find them.

President Grant on the Indians.

Colonel E. G. Boudinot, the Chero-
kee refugee, is now in St. Louis. on
his return from Washington, and, in
conversation with reporter of the
Republican, gave an account of the
present standing Of matters relating to
the Indian territorial question Among
other things, he is reported to have
said:
About the time Senator Dorsey in
troduced his bill knew it had been
represented to my people that Presi-
sldent Grant was opposed to any terri
torial organization, notwithstanding
the repeated recommendations in his
messages, though they were somewhat
indefinite. Therefore, [ have since
called upon the President to ascertain
bis views on this question. The Presi-
dent received me very gracefully, and
introduced the question at once on
seeing me. He went on to state to
me that he had always felt, ever since
he was young officer in the army,
great interest for The Indians; that i'll
early life he had been stationed among
them in the West, and had seen how
they were swindled by traders, agents,
and everybody else who had any busi-
ness with them. He said that since
he had been President be had endeavor-
ed to put a stop to these impositions
upon them. The President continued
addressing me: AS for your civilized
Indians in the Indian Territory, /
think it would be best for you to have
a Territorial Government organized
over you by Congress, which would
provide for the surveying and section
izing of the country. And the allot-
ting Of your lands in lseveralty,:: with
United States courts and representa-
ton in Congress. Each man, woman
and child should have at least l60
acres or land set apart for them in fee
simple, which land should be inalien-
able for twenty years, to guard against
the ignorant and improvident being
swindled out of their proportion Of
land by designing men. AS for the
balance of the land remaining after the
division in severalty is made, it mi ght
be sold to Indians outside tine Terri
tory and to any persons wishing to
purchase, giving the first chance to In
dams outside" There were,' says
the President, mo doubt a great many
shiftless and worth ess Indians, as
among all other people, who would not
be much benefited by the wisest pro-
visions for their interest. Here, even
in this enlighted community (alludlng
to Washington city,, there are many
to whom, if you should give l60 acres
of land to-day, to do with it as they
chose, they would not have an acre in
a week. BY adopting the plan | sug-
gest the best of your people will have
an opportunity to acquire a home and
a title to their lands which no power
can deprive them of, and the worst
portion Of your population, the worth
less and improvident, will be protect
ed at least twenty years in spite Of
themselves
