THE INDIANS.

The two or three hundred Cheyenne Indians
whom we mentioned last week as having brOk
en- away from Fort Reno and started ona foray
into western Kansas have been keeping things
pretty lively in that quarter ever since. As
many as a thousand L. 5. cavalry and infantry,
in II dozen of different squads, are securing
the country in pursuit of them, and though
having frequent skirmshcs seem to make poor
Roadway towards their capture On the Goth
ult Col. Lewis, with about 100 men, ran upon
the Indians in the canOns of the Famshcd
WomanS Fork, near Fort Wallace, on the
Kansas Pacific railroad, and after IA two hours
fight in which Col. Lewis was killed and
three men were wounded, drove the Indians
who left one dead Indian on the ground and
1, dead saddle ponies and 90 head Of stock.
The Indians were next heard of on the Goth
at Carlyle station, on the Kansas Pacific road
miles from where any troops had been station
ed to intercept them.
Another band crossed the same railroad on
the Both near Buffalo station, still further east
Forks of the Salmon, came upon a lot of cattle
men. \ hard fight ensucd resulting in Is
whites being killed and five wounded. Indian
loss not known The troops were all west of
this trouble" in pursuit of the other bands
The Indians, after the fight with the cattle
men, pushed norlhward, destroying the Sheri-
dan post office, cleaned out j. /. Pccks store
and post office and destroyed Il number Of
ranches, killing every white man they met.
Of course the whole country is aroused by
these outrages, and late on Monday night a
party of pursucrs came up with the Indians
and in running fight killed two of them.
Next nusning rumor says another fight took
place in which Lieut.. Brodhcad and Corporal
Stewart of the 23d infantry and five private
soldiers were killed, but this report needs con-
trmation.
Considering that the band consists OF less
than l21 warriors, and is encountered by at
least 80 women and children, they have GER
tainly managed to make quite stirring cam
paign. They are now apparently moving to-
wards Ogallalla, on the Union Pacific road,
and are so closely encompassed by troops on
all sides that their capture within Il few days
seems inevitable, though they will doubtless
make Il desperate fight before allowing them
selves to be taken.

We had occasion, II week or two ago to no.
tice an absurd statement in the kankakee Gd-
zette, that during Buchanan's administration
the government, in attempting to borrow II few
millions of dollars, had to pay 1919 per cent.
interest. 1t seems J Ohm \. Logan is the author
of that ridiculous Roorback, and that he un-
dcrtook, IA week ago, to palm it off on the be
nighted republicans of Streator, The Free
Press shows how easily such reckless tabri-
cation can be Squelched by a few simple facts :;
If John A. Logan will refer to the report Of
the comptroller of the currency, where any
statement of the national debt is made, he will
find that the last loan authorized by congress
during the Buchanan ADMINISTRATION was on
Feb $, 1861, when twenty-five millions was
authorized loan to run twenty years; interest
SIR per cent He will further find that SIS,
$4,000 of these bonds were taken at par in
gold. Before they could all be taken the Lin
cold administration came in and with it, in Il
short time, demand for an immense loan
with interest at seven and three-tenths per cent
OF course that would stop subscriptions 10 the
lower rate loan, consequently the amount was
not all taken, but the fact is shown that Logan
is mistaken. \ further fact may be noticed
that he did not allude to, viz: that although
several small loans had been made during the
decade previous 10 1860, yet in no case was
more than five per cent interest paid on them

Professor Collier, who has been experiment
ing on a somewhat large scale at Washington
under the direction ofthe Agricultural Bureau,
in making sugar ofcornstalks, succeeded, with
very crude machinery, IN making ISL lbs. of
very good sugar from II tons of very indifter-
cnt cornstalks, but could have got at least 1000
lbs with proper machinery, and double the
quantity with proper machinery and good
quality of cornstalks. In other words, the
farmer can make some 200 lbs of good sugar
out of every common wagon load ofcornstalks
at an expense of about cts. pound, counting
the cornstalks otherwise worth little or moth
ing, as they really are, If he will take topans
raise the proper corn and use good machinery.
