Women does a great deal to
discourage lofty sentiment of
patriotism. When a man is
leaning over the back fence
telling q neighbor how he would
shed his last drop of blood for
suffering Louisiana, it disturbs
him to have bis wife to yell out:
"Look a here! Are you coming
with that bucket of water, OF
shall I come out and see to
you pr Milwaukee Sentinel.

We expressed a doubt in a
recent article whether the Uni
ted States belonged to the
people or to the express, tele-
graph, and other similar CONS
panies, and our doubt has been
considerably strengthened by
the surprising intelligence from
Washington, that the postage
on third-class mail matter in
Guiding books, magazines. train
silent newspapers, samples of
merchandise, seeds, roots, ETC.,
etc., has been doubted. This
is doubtless in compliance with
the urgent demands Of the ex>
press companies, which can go
to Washington with money in
both pockets and both hands,
whilst the poor but patient
public can do nothing of the
kind. However this change
came about, it is a heavy res
striction on one of the greatest
conveniences which the Post
Office Department afforded to
the people, and the Govern
ment and Congress win yet

will care, to bear IN. Y. Wit

Louisville has sued James Paul,

Mary Frances Conner of
Louisville has sued James Paul,
captain of the steamboat
Thompson Dean, for $4,000
damages for the death of John
A. Conner. Mary Frances is
the Administrative of John, and
she says in her complaint filed
in court, that John A. Conner
was second clerk of the above
named steamboat. He was d,
crippled and deformed, and
otherwise delicate. About the
9Th of February last, while the
Thompson Dean was making a
trip in the Ohio river between
Louisville and Cincinnati. one
day when the mercury was
several degrees below zero,
Capt. Paul sent Conner off on
an GRAND to a saw-mill eight
miles away on the Kentucky
shore, to order some lumber
needfnl for repairs to the boat,
promising to meet him at a
certain point and take him
aboard. Conner went, did the
errand, came back to the ap-
pointed place and the boat was
gone. The shore was uninhab-
tied for miles. The young man
had neither food nor sufficient
clothing, and starved and froze
to death all alone in the track
less wilderness. Mary Frances
Conner charges that John A.
Conner lost his life by the will
full neglect OF Capt. Paul in the
manner set forth, whereby she
was damaged in the sum of
$4,000. Doubtless he would
not have taken that sum for
himself to be frozen to death,
and the amount asked for his
life does not seem exhorbitant.

Particulars OF Tho Revolt OF the H.

The Troops Repulsed Sixteen Sol
oilers Wounded,

LEAvENwoRTH, April li.--An official
dispatch has been received from the
Cheyenne agency giving the parllcu.
lars OF the recent llldlan revolt nj. that
place. The affair seems 10 have been
q serious revolt npOn the part Of the
hostile Cheyennes. The dispatch ls M
follows;
While one OF General Neil'a guards
was IN the act OF ironiag dangerous
Cheyenne, OF Stone Calls command,
the Indian Jumped tho guard aud az
tempted 10 escape, The soldiers Hired
and hit him. This provoked some
shots from the camp OF the hostile
Cheyennes, and caused general slam-
pede OF warriors, woman and children,
10 the sand hills. The friendly ln-
dians, Arrapahoes and Whlrlwind'H
Cheyennes, stood true, Captain Raf-
ferty, Of company M, sixth cavalry,
was immediately sent after the higi-
tlves. General Nell took coinmpnd
and reinforced Captain Rafferty, Win
two more companies. They made
three charges on the Indians, but the
sand being deep the troops could do
but little service until they dis.
mounted and went after the red
skins on foot. They were unable
TO drive them from the Sand Hills be-.
fore night, and under ooverOf darkness
the Indians retreated, but as they have
no provisions and are without arms, II
Is fair to presume they Will be recap
tured. The troops had sixteen
wounded, six ofwhonl are dangerously
shot. General Pope has started all the
available troops from Hayes, Dodge
and North Fork Cantonment, 10 head
them off. All the Indian prisoners nj
Fort Sill are In chains en- route 10
Fort Lea, enworth, under the COM
mand Of Captain Munich, OF the Fourth
cavalry. General Mackenzie, colonel
of the Fourth cavalry, left for the
