THE INDIANS.

CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-Nothing new
regarding the Indian war has been
received at headquarters to-day.
Dodge is commended for having
made a perilous march through an
infected country with forty men.
The Indians have a peculiar hatred
for these colored troops, which the
latter return with interest. Merritt's
report is criticized as giving no
important facts respecting the situa-
tion on Milk River, and as being
taken up with laudation of various
subordinates, the nature of whose
services be fails to disclose, and
whom he should at any rate com>
mend in a future written report. It
is believed that the consolidated
command are by this time en- route
for White River Agency. The
greatest interest is manifested for
the safety of that post. The report
that the Indians have been killing
men and caring for women, is dis
credited. SS
CHEYENNE, .Oct. Slater re>
ports from Rawlins and the front
contradict the report brought in
this morning by a mail carrier of q
fight between Merritt's command
and the Utes. From the most re-
liable sources it is learned that
Merritt had no engagement with
the hostiles up to the time Of re>
lieving Payne:
Los PIEos, COL, Oct. 8.-But
little doubt remains that Agent
Meeker was murdered by the In
dlans, together with his men. In
formation received through runners
support the report that the women
and children were spared and are at
Chief Douglass house. .-
The Denver (Colorado) Tribune
gives its version of the causes which
led to the recent Ute outbreak, and
uses. pretty vigorous language
The causes which have "aggravated''
the Indians are given with elaborate
mendacity, cne of them being that a
| four-mile strip of territory had not
yet been paid for because the Briga-
diers refused to make the necessary
appropriation, aud another being ''the
contiD ual lencroachment on the Feser-
vation." In regard to the first there

FOREIGN NEWS.

LONDON, Oct. "a dispatch
from Afghanistan reports that at
one time during the attack of the
9th inst, on the principal heights
before Cabul, two companies of
Highlanders were opposed to two
thousand Aghans. The latter held
their grounds until the Highlanders
were within twenty yards. The to-
tai Afghan force is said to have
been eleven regiments, with artillery
and an immense number of hill
men. The backbone of the resist
ance is broken for the present, but
the whole country is seething with
excitement and the people would
rise at the slightest reverse to the
British. The whole British force
was to be striking distance of Cabul
on the 7th inst.

their daily avocation Of murder, ne.
glect to pass the small apprO-
priation due the Uncompahgre
ULes who inhabit another por-
tion of the State, and only few of
whom are in the outbreak. But this
sum is not one-tenth or one~twentieth
of what is due the Government from
the unlimited and unrestricted destruc-
truction of property by the Utes on
the public domain. The story that
there have been encroachments on the
reservation is a Il at falsehood. On the
contrary, the fact is just the reverse.
The Utes have been on the public do
main all summer, and dispatches on
file in the War Department will show
that the trouble began, not by trying
/ to keep the whites off the reservation.
but by trying to keep the Indians off
the public domain.
There never was more gross, GRIM
inal, unprOvoked and inexcusable out
break than this of the Utes. For
months and months they have been
burning timber and grass and destroy
ins the property of The settlers. For
| weeks it has been almost impossible to
see the sun by reason of the smoke
from these forest fires. They have
done the State an incslculable injury,
aud they had done this injury without
molestation. The Government did not
make q move to stop their outrsges
until few days ago. It allowed this
destruction to go on all summer up to
the present time. and then, when the
climax came, it sent a few undis-
cipilned soldiers to be ambushed and
shot down like dogs.
There has not been a white settler
on the Indian reservation. There are
none there now. Father Meeker, in
the appeal which he sent to the De-
partment over a month ago, correctly
asserted that the trouble with the Utes
grew out of their aversion to have
eighty acres of land at the Agency. out
OF the 1000 900 which a stupid Gov
| ernment allows them TO control, to be
cultivated. It was because of this cul-
tivation they shot at one of the Agency
| employees and assaulted Meeker. And
it was because of these assaults and
| their outrages upon settlers upon the
! public domain that troops were sent.
| If the dispatch alluded TO conveys an
idea of the way in which the Wash
ington authorities intend to proceed in
this matter, Colorado will take it intC
her own hands. The White River
Utes must be killed off. Ifthe soldier
Can not do it, the State whose citizeni
have been foully outraged and muir
dered can. And it will.

A shert Trip 10 the Country.

Mr.. EDITOR: The writer, in conn
pany with several city gents, left
Knoxville Saturday, October 9Th, for
the purpose of visiting Paw Paw Hol.
low, church In Sewer county, where
the Baptist Association had been in
progress for several days. After
crossing the river at Armstrong;
Ferry, and travelling about one mile
and half we came to where there had
fallen very heavy rain. 80 much SO
that the water was standing six inches
deep in the road in some places. The
rain only extended about one mile,
then we came to dust as 6eep as the
mud we had passed through. There
was no more rain until we neared
Strawberry Plains. Parties from that
place say there was very heavy rain
accompanied with hail and wind.
After driving about twelve miles we
hauled up at the residence of j. w.
Trent, prominent tObacconist in the
upper end of Knox county, where, /
am free to say, DO one will ever stop
and spend q night who will ever die
satisfied without making the second
visit. He and his family know just
how to make one feel easy when they
stop with them. After spending the
night there, early next morning we
started for the point of destination,
Paw Paw Hollow, church which has
the name Of a hollow; but is really on
top of hill. There we found an i'm
mense crowd from all sections of the
country, there being several promin-
ent ministers, among whom was the
Rev. DR.. May field, editor of the Bdp
tist Reflector, from Nashville, who
preached the morning sermon
