THE INDIANS,

Gen. Merritt, after relieving Lieut.. Payne
and gathering Il force OF about one thousand
men, pused on to the White River agency, and
the discoveries he there made confirm all the
painful fears that had been entertained as &c
| the fate of Mr.. Mceker and his employees. All
the buildings of the agency We're burned eX
cent one in which flour was stored. Meekel
was found with his head crushed in, a cham
around his neck and the lower part of his
body burned away. The bodies of six other
white men, his employees were also found, all
badly burned, showing that they had made a
desperate fight until they Were burded out.
Gen. Merritt found letter written by Meeker
on the day of the massacre to Capt Thorn
burgh, telling him there would be no trouble
As the Indians were friendly and Chief Doug
lass was flying the American flag. Douglass
was the chief who favored farming, and when
the trouble commenced had % acres under
cultivation The attack, therefore, was sur.
prise, and was led by Chiefs Johnson and
Colorado. There was no trace found of the
women at the agency, consisting of Mrs.
Meekcr, Miss Neeker Mrs Price, young
married woman another white woman, name
unknown, and the two children of Mrs. Price,
whose husbands mutlated remains were
found in the ruins of the storehouse; but a
letter from Lake City, Oct. 10th, to Gov. Pit

named, rs well as one Of the employees, mad
been seen by Sapsvaniers, a friendly chiet, the
day after the massacre, in charge of Chief
Douglass, who was taking them to the Pinos
agency. Ouray the head ehisf Of the Utes,
at the Pinos agency, remains true to the
whites, and Is doing his best to arrest further
hosullties. The agency is IN charge of an
agent named stanley, appsiaed some three
months ago, whom Oursy strangely petitions
to have removed, as he Is overbenrlng and in
solent, and has been drunk mos, of the time
since he arrived. The Utes have summoned
a council at Los Pinos, and Ouray thinks
the hostility to Stanley is saoh that the c0un-
Gil may override his (Ourey's) ADVICE and de.
pose him, putting some hostile chief in his
place, in which case general hostilities on
the part of the Indians will be inevitable

ANOTHER INDIAN OUTBREAK.

Dispatches IN yesterdays Chicago dailies
announce the beginning Of another Indian
war, this time by the Apaches on the Rio
Grande in Northern New Mexico On the
18th inst the Apaches under Victoria attacked
the ranches near the Jarnada del Murto, on
the Rio Grande, killing nine ranchmen. A
company of thirty citizens at once left Mesllla
to follow them, but when 30 miles ont were at
tackled by 100 Indians and scattered, five
whites being killed. On Tuesday another
company, well mounted and armed, left Me
sila under Capt John S. Crouch, but have
not yet been heard from. The number of hos.
tile Indians both In New Mexico and Southern
Colorado is on the increase and formidable
Indian war seems inevitable. The disailecton
among the Indians seems to extend away into
Arizona and collisions are occurring daily in
all directions between the whites and savages

Considering how mercilessly the southern
states were robbed during the era of republi'
can carpet bag rule, upheld by government
bayonets, no wonder the people there are tempt
ed to use the shotgun to prevent return TO
power of such gang of frechootcrs, Even
the poor state of Mississippi, that never had
any credit, the carpet bag robbers managed to
run in debt $l,105, 0jG, every dollar of which
was stolen. Since the republican incubus was
shaken off IN 1870, the people, under demo-
cratic rule by dint orheavy taxation and many
sacrifices, have paid $l,340,0OO Of that debt.
