BARGEs ON THE MISSOURI.
Sioux City journal.

We some days ago had an extract from
the Kansas City Times, announcing the
commencing of movement for establishing
line of barges on the Missouri. A cores
pondent of the st. Louis Republican, who
signs himself Jasper" sends note in re.
gard to scheme for the sort of vessel to be
used. If the problem can be solved, so as to
make it possible for this section, of which
Sioux City is the center, to send its surplus
to the seaboard by the river instead of by
rail, the benefits to our agricultural interests
will be incaculable Following is the plan
casper" proposes:
You having published several extracts
from Kansas City papers on the subject of
moving grain in bulk, in barges or other
wise, will please allow me to describe a
steam barge which will suit for the Missouri
river, in high or low water, and can be
proftably handled Length, 240 feet, beam
SO feet depth of hold, Z feet, with crowning
| deck with wing matches, suitable for
eleyating purposes; stern nodded or drawn
| to thirty feet no upper deck or cargo box,
except pilot house and place for crew; ma
chinery to consist of two boilers twenty
| four feet in length, forty inches
in diameter, engines fifteen inches
diameter, 5-foot stroke; wheel, % feet
length OF buckets, 10 feet diameter, ms.
chinery and buckets to occupy DO feet in
the stern aud in the hull, leaving clear
stowagc-less 10 feet model of bow-of 12d
feet length, feet depth. The carrying
tons capacity of this barge will be about Is
tons to the inch say that the draws wher
light, in the deepest place, IS inches, tc
| load to As inches, which would be 30 inches
al IS tons to the inch, She would ther
have on board $40 tons little over half O
her carrying capacity, and if loaded witt
corn, equal to 10000 bushels at Z cents
per bushel, S1,400 Will say to rut
the barge would cost only $50 per day
as but small crew would be required, ant
she can make the round trip in ten days:

Now if Kansas City meroh ints wish t
utilize the river, against rail, to the sea
board here is the way to do it, by subscrib
ing about $4,000, which would be about tn
cash cost to construct this steam barge. TIL
writer, a Missouri river boatman, will Civ
further particulars if desired.

Crusade OF the Cheyennes.
Dodge City, Sept. 19.-The most in-
tense excitement prevails in the town.
Three hundred Indians have attacked
the cattle camp of Chapman g. Tuttle,
twenty miles south of this place this
morning, and killed George Simmonds
and a man whose name is unknown.
The Bluff Creek ranch, twenty-six
miles away, is said to be in y state Of
siege. Rowing bands of Cheyennes
have been seen within few miles of
town, and rumors are hourly arriving
bringing startling news of further dep
relations. The Indians are bold and
kill anyone they can get hold Of John
Frazer had a hand of horses stolen by
them within six miles of here on Tues
day night. A bodyof armed men have
started. in pursuit of the Indians. At
noon yesterday the Indians were said
to be within six miles of town and an
attack is anticipated. Application has
been made to the governor for arms,
and the citizens are preparing to defend
themselves in case they should be at
tackled. Five men are reported to have
been killed Tuesday night and yesterday
morning. and it is supposed others have
also been murdered. The Indians in
this band are said to number about 800,
all well armed and mounted, and are
having it all their own way, as the force
at this post is SO weak that no attack
dare be made.v Troops. have been or
dered here from Forts Elliott and Ri
ley, and a courier was dispatched to
Camp Supply, ordering two companies
of cavalry to this place from that post.
Captain Hemphill, of the Fourth cav
airy, encountered the Indians on Bear
creek, south Of this place, yesterday
morning, and attempted to turn them
back. An engagement ensued in which
the troops were repulsed. Seventy-five
men of the Nineteenth infantry left
Fort Lyon for this place on the regular
train yesterday afternoon, but the train
was detained all night at Lakin, on ac-
count of an apprehended attack by the
Indians upon it. Reports are still COM
ing in of more Indian depredations.
They are burning buildings and killing
and running off stock in all directions.
Two houses occupied by two Germans,
only two miles from here, were burned
by the Indians this afternoon. "A party
of men, commanded by E. Kelly, have
started out on n scout, but up to this
time nothing has been heard from
them. HEslls.s 4Itl

party. He declared that the committee
,vould not counsel the support of the
