GENERAL EWING INDICATED
Letter from Major General Schcfeld Concern.
ing the Famous Missouri Order for aOhich
General Tom Eving has been Uniu8tly
Cen8ured.
New YORK, February 16.

An interesting letter relative to the
famous Missouri order Of 1868 will be
published here tomorrow. The follow
ing is synopsis:
Major-General Schofeld now ia charge
of the Military Academy at West Point,
has written a letter to General Thomas
Ewing, for the purpose of vindicating the
military order issued by General Ewing
in 1868, depopulating part of the West
ern border Of Missouri. General SCho-
field says, in substance, that he took
command Of the Department of the Mis-
souri, in May, 1868, and assigned Ewing
to command the District of the Border"
that a savage guerrilla warfare had ragged
there for two years which had nearly de-
populated the farming districts on the
Missouri side, and that the farmers who
remained were, whether they sympthized
with the guerrillas or not were furnishers
of supplies for these outlaws Civiliza'
ZION and humanity alike demanded the
prompt suppression of This border war,
whatever might be the means necessary
to suppress it. There were only two
methods of stopping it: One was to large
ly increase the military force in the dis
trict, which was found impracticable be-
cause ofthe necessity of sending reinforce
ments to Grants army at Vicksburg; the
other was to remove the remaining farm
ers from the Missouri border whose crops
and stores furnished the guerrillas with
subsistence.
The fendish massacre at Lawrence in
August, 1868, by Quantrell and his band,
made immediate action absolutel " imper-
ative. He says that it is wholly mistake
to charge that the order was issued in
revenge for that massacre, as its issuance
was contemplated and discussed some
time before the massacre occurred. He
says the order was an act of wisdom,
courage and humanity, by which hun
dreds of innocent lives were saved, and a
disgraceful and barbarous warfare brought
to summary close. Not life was sac
rifced, nor any great discomfort inflicted
in executing it, The necessities of all the
poor people were provided for, and none
were permitted to suffer.
General Schofeld adds that when the
order was issued he went to the border,
and after personal observation, approved
it, and then sent it with his approval to
President Lincoln ,and that humane Pres
ident never uttered word of dissent as
to the wisdom, justice or humanity of
that policy. He says he does not write
to vindicate his own conduct, or to shift
the responsibility; but that it is only JUS
tice to General Ewing, who has been
censured for issuing the order, to say
that the responsibility for its execution
belongs to President Lincoln, to himself
and to General Ewing in proportion to
their respective work and authority.

recognized q tall warrior known among
the whites as Tom Jilleway. After Mil
ler crossed Little Sandy and was in an
open plain, he thought, as he afterwards
expressed it, "now legs for it," and
ran with all his might for about a
mile and a half northwest, until he reach
ed the high lands or ridge, when he
stopped to look back and listen. He
could neither hear nor see anything
of the Indians. After resting while he
concluded to return 10 the place where
they were first surprised, in the hope OF
meeting the balance of his company. Not
finding them there, and the day being
far advanced, he decided to make for the
place of rendezvous Of the company on
the east side of the river. He continued
to track as long as he could see, and pas
sed the night on ridge bordering yell
low creek. He made bed of chestnut
leaves un Ter fallen tree that lay up
from the ground, and slept quietly amid
the bowling of wolves and screech OF
wild cats. Next day he crossed the ONO
at the mouth of Yellow creek, and reach
ed the place of rendezvous where he
found Downing, Cuppy and Dillon safe
and unhurt, except that Downing's face
was much swollen and his eyes blood
shot from over exertion.
In the evening of the next day Foulk
made his appearance, and reported that
when the Indians started after Miller, he
hid himself in the brush. When they
were out of sight he crossed over a branch
of Sandy (since called Indian run, from
this fight, and secreted himself on hill
where he could overlook the plains south
without being observed. He could see
the Indians in camp, and from their per-
formances was satisfied, from a knowl-
edge of their ceremonies, that two OF
their number had been killed. In talk
ing over the matter the company was OF
the unanimous opinion that they had
the best of the fight, and had made
very lucky escape.
The next day Gen. Wayne and his
staff in a barge, with his army in % flat
boats, came down the river on their way
to Camp Washington. AS they hove in
sight the scouts discharged their guns as
a salute. Gen. Wayne had his barge run
ashore, and on learning they were Gov
ernment scouts, signalled boat contain
ing sharp-shooters to land. He had
target set up, and trial of skill between
his sharp.shooters and the scouts, in
which the sharp-shooters came out sec,
ond best. Gen. Wayne complimented
the sharp-shooters, saying, "My brave
fellows, you are id fine Shots" and
treated them to some brandy, which
they ever remembered.
We are indebted to John G. Croxton,
ESQ.,, now of Canal Dover, for the forego-
ing facts as related to him by James
Downing, sr., the principal actor in the
transaction.

nizes his "duty to the greatest living
general" and that this duty requires him
not so TO act as returning officer that the
oppressed people be governed by his
(Grants) paroled prisoners aided by their
whitelivered towards Of North" he sig
nifcantly adds: "Ba me Darn you, my
esteemed sir, ofhe danger. Millions haze
been sent here, and will be used IN the interest
of TWden, and unless some counter movement
IL riH be impossible for me or any other tndt'
Vidudl 10 arrest lis results" The plain
English ofthis is that, whilst the duty he
owes to the greatest living general and
his aversion to his paroled prisoners and
their white ivered friends of the North
induces him to give Grants friends the
preference, they must act promptly on
his offer, for it is more than he or any
other individual in his situation can do
to refuse the millions which have been
offered him to give the State to Tilden.
Such q letter from a man of WelIs's char
acter holding the facts in his own hands
could mean nothing else and does not re-
quire support from Maddox or admit of
explanation from Wells, and the explain
alton he attempted yesterday is simply
ridiculous
The letter shows the abject servility Of
Grants parasites, but that they make no
conceament from him of their corrup-
tion. 1t is direct requirement for the
payment of money as the condition of
giving the vote of Louisiana to the Re-
publicans, and obviously written for the
eye of the greatest living general" and
in the full confidence that the money re.
quired would seem to him to he only rea-
sonable and proper wages Wells knew
his master and his party; for do they not
uphold him even now, when the blossoms
ofhis sin load the whole air as with
pestilential vapor? But Wells had better
remember that their power to protect
him is rapidly passing away, and that his
only hope to escape the penitentiary is
to expose the greater criminals whose
tool he has BEEN Washington Union.

No little inquiry has been developed,
since Charles 0'Conor called on the Pre-
sident the other day, for the full text of
the celebrated letter ofthe great advocate
which seems to have cemented the cordi-
al relations existing Between the two
gentlemen. We append copy of this
endearing epistle;
Fort WASHINGTON, NY Nov. 26, rs
Samuel G. Reid, Esq, St. Louis-Dear
Sir Gibbon says there is vital differ
ence in the consequences of a foreign and
a civil war. The former is the external
warmth of summer, always tolerable and
sometimes beneficial; the latter is the
deadly heat OF fever, which consumes
without remedy the vitals of the consti-
tuition. l do not think opinions of ju-
dicial nature concerning the law or the
constitution of any consequence. The
drunken Democrat whom the Republi-
cans dragged out of the Galena gutter,
besmeared with the blood of his country
men slain in domestic broil, and lifted to
a high pedestal as the Moloch of their
worship, rules, and until a great change
in sentiment shall take place must con-
tinue to rule over the PROSTATE ruins Of
Washington's republic. That republic
perished on the day that Mcdowell mov-
ed on to Richmond.
Yours truly, CHARLES O'CoNoR.
