2.anrastcr frrtclligencer. MONDAY EVENING, SEPT. 5, 1881. The President. Tl e burden of all the advices from Washington, for the past few days, has been " no less, no gain." The uneasy feeling which went ever the country yes terday morning, M-hen the unfavorable symptoms of vomiting were reported, showed hew easy it is for the bulletin te unduly stimulate or depress public con cen dence in the hopeful condition of the nation's patient. A week age he was reported. and universally believed te be dying. Nobody doubted it. And just when the most hopeful of his physicians announced his despair, came the turn for the better. Since then a steady improvement has been reported and, en the ether hand, within three days after the president had baen at death's deer the general solicitude had been abated by the cheerful report from his bedside, and his certain recovery was generally believed te be only a matter of time. New it is reasonable te believe that no sufferer, especially one with such a com plication of troubles, could be se seen lifted from the valley of the shadow into the sunlight of the mountain peaks. The president is better, te be sure, but he is very far from the hopeful condition in which the popular mind has regarded him for the past few days. His recovery is net by any means assured, and it must be, at all events, a matter of very long time and suffering and of patient application of medical skill. If there is any force in the constitu tional prevision for his inability it is plain that the problem arising from the direction of that instrument may as w 11 be met first as last. Mr. Garfield will net be able te de any of the duties of his office for many months te come. If they arc te be left undone somebody is taking a very great responsibility. If they are te be done the vice president is -plainly the proper person te undertake them. The governors of this and ether states, it will be seen, have appointed te-morrow :is a day of prayer by their people for their suffering president. "Why the call comes se late, or en such short notice is net explained. The clergy had hardly opportunity te announce their re re Bpense te it te their congregations yes terday, though in this city, and else where doubtless, they have arranged for the services as requested and given such publicity te their announcements as the time will permit. Mayer MacGenigle, it will be seen, recognizes the fitness of things and officially emphasizes the call with a local application of it. The Imllnu Massacre. The terrible news of the bloody mas sacre of Gen. Carr and his entire com mand, about a hundred and fifteen of our soldiery, by the Apaches, is confirmed, and nothing of most despicable and cowardly treachery seems te have been lacking in the means by which the slaughter was accomplished. Supersti tion seems te have been at the bottom of it in the pretensions of the medicine men and tlte demoralizing effects of their influence among the Indians. Tiiis led te the arrest of one of these in fluential pretenders, which was resented by the killing of Lieut. Cruse and the killing of the medicine man in turn, heacc the general massacre. There seems te have been some terrible blunder in the management of these bloodthirsty red-skins and in the knowledge of their movements. It required a considerable number of them and they only number eight hundred all told te have effected such a massacre of the troops, and the Indian agent is said te have continually reported none off their agency. Reports of white treachery in conjunc tion with the natural ferocity of the In dians, and of Mermen affiliations with the murderers, will only serve te inten sify the frontier and military ardor for vengeance, and bloody reprisals may be looked for before long. The humanita rian view of the Indian question will again fall into disfavor, and the doctrine that the only geed Indian is a dead In dian be again welcomed. Our manage ment of the aborigines seems te be ter ribly unfortunate. It is marked by one unending alternation of outrages en them, and their outrages in turn. Plenty of geed people are well convinced that the only solution of the problem is their extermination, and about as many ethers knew that our hundred years of Indian mismanagement arc " a century of dis honor." Certainly as the stronger and the wiser race, the whites are mainly responsible for the trouble ; for even if the true policy is one of repression by violence, it has net been wisely or stead ily pursued. The mere finding of arsenic in the body of the dead girl, Jennie Cramer, who has been the subject of two weeks' investigation in New Haven, does net even ppiut'.te her murder by poison. On the contrary it leeks like the escape of the coroner's jury from a problem which they could net solve. She was a notori ous eater of arsenic, for her complexion, like many ether silly and vain young women, and this accounts for the results of the .analysis of her stomach. Shame less as her lustful lever was it must be admitted that as jet the investigation has hardly produced a prima facie case te prove anything but his moral responsi bility for her fate. The English correspondent of the New Yerk World devotes a geed deal et space te commending the novelty and ingenious enterprise of a firm of Christ mas card manufacturers in Londen who offered high prices for competitive de signs. If the correspondent had read his own paper regularly he would have known that, this is a Yankee scheme, practiced for years by American pub lishers. In the way of business enter prise the Londoners cannot teach New Yerk and Bosten much. Ner are the World correspondent and his Londen ex hibition unique in discovering that the best design in these competitions never takes the first prize. The New Yerk Democrats, with a very fair show of carrying the state this fall, already manifest signs of net doing it by waging a fierce internecine war- fare. Until they can unite en a plan of sending representative delegates te their state convention in whose selection every member of the party can partici pate there will be no "peace with honor " among the Demearats of New Yerk state.

The Chicago Times publishes reports of the "Western hog crop, indicating that it will fall behind that of last year, both in number and quality. The number has decreased about one-fourth, and, owing te a deficiency of fattening feed, the ani mals are small in size and peer in condi tion. Tm: New Yerk Herald ridicules with fitting satire the suggestion that the Dem ocrats .should net organize the Senate. It recalls the fact that the Republicans never failed te take advantage of such opper tunities and cencludes: " Ne, the politi cal advantage which the Democrats cujey in the condition into which a Republican blunder has put the Senate is a perfectly fair one. They have a complete right te improve it, and the country will incur no danger from their doing se. It will be ' an act of su preme felly ' en their part if they de net." Tin: New Yerk Times, which has made war most vigorously of the star route rob bers, confesses its apprehension that it will be impossible se bring them te jus tice. And the World points out that our esteemed Republican contemporaries that have displayed se much enterprise and de cency in arranging President Arthur's cabinet before President Garfield is dead have only agreed in one detail Mr. James will net be in that cabinet ! Ne matter what the outepme, therefore, the prospect is net cuceuragiug for these credulous pcople who have beheved that the Republican party intended te reform itself. PERSONAL.

LANCASTER DAILY BETRAYED BY HIS SCOUTS.' THE TKBACHEKY WHICH LED TO THE CABH MASSACRE. A Conspiracy Between the White Mountain Band anil Cel. Carr'K Scout The Troops led letu an Aiuuugh auit Kuthlessly Murdered. There is no longer room for reasonable doubt that Cel. Carr aud all his men have been treacherously killed by the savages. The report that the Indian scouts attached te the expedition proved traitors and began the massacre by firing en our troops is also confirmed. The country in which the mas sacre occurred is peculiarly fitted for .the scene of a tragedy such as this. It consists of a succession of deep canons and gorges, which are admirably adapted te serve as ambuscades for the Indians. The moun tains are heavily timbered with pine aud fir trees, and a few men placed in the right position could cosily destroy an entire bat talion of soldiers, when the troops were decoyed into the ambush; The couriers who have come iute Camps Grant and Themas describe the locality where the massacre took place as a narrow valley near a canon, the sides of which are heavily timbered, and thus afford a line covering for a party in ambush. Cel. Carr had trusted te his Indian scouts te iuferm him of any ambuscade in his front, aud as they reported none in the canon, he blindly advanced until he reached the spot where he met his death. There can be no doubt that the massacre was the direct result of a conspiracy between the scouts and the hostile Apaches, and that Cel. Carr and his men were deliberately led te the slaughter pen by the scouts. The firing was begun by the scouts, aud Lieut. Cruse was the first victim. As seen he fell, and before the smoke from the rifles of the scouts had cleared away, the White Mountain Apaches arose from their ambush in the brushwood of the canon aud opened fire upon the troops in an opposite direction. Cel. Carr and his command were thus between two fires, and the colonel seems, from the ac counts of the couriers, te have become perfectly bewildered by the suddenness of this double attack. Before he had time te collect his thoughts or te give proper orders te his troops in this terrible emergency the White Mountain Indians aud his own treacherous scouts rushed iu upon the deemed baud from opposite di rectiens, and the work et destruction was seen completed. Net a member of the two companies has as yet been heard fieni and it is believed that net a single soldier escaped te tell the story of the massacre. The reports thus far arc all from friendly Indians, no white couriers having, up te this time, come in, but the commanding officers at Camps Grant and Themas have the utmost confidence in the Indians who have brought the news, and they anuounce their belief in the story. A great many Indians have come through and they all give the same account of the massacre. There is scarcely room for a particle of doubt that the brave Carr and his gallant ferce have been exterminated. There is a well-grounded fear in Arizona that the uprising will be mere general than it was at first thought te he, from the fact that Chief Pedre, who has gene en the war-path, is an Indian leader of unusual geed sense and judgment. It is believed that he would never have joined in the movement unless he had been urged te it by his followers and had received assurances of support from the ether branches of the Apache tribe. The original cause of all the trouble seems te have been the strange hallucina tion of the medicine men, who pretended that they were able te raise departed chiefs from the grave, te lead the Apaches en te victory ever the whites, and the supersti tion of the Indians', who believed iu then power te de this. In August of last year a band of While Mountain Indians, under Chief Petoue, who lived about SOi) miles north of Camp Apache, killed a chief named Diable, of the same tribe, who lived en the San Carles res ervation. Upen the news of his death, Diable s baud, accompanied by the agency police, started for Camp Apache te rcvenge him. They found Pe. tone aud his band camped iu a strong po pe po sitien en Chile Creek, and were unable te dislodge him. Soen after, however, Pe- teue was killed by members of another baud, and Diable was avenged, though net by his own band. Soen ai'tcrthis two chiefs of different bands of the White Mountain tribe fought a duel, aud both were killed. Thcse tinea braves, the mediciue men pretended that hcy could raise from the dead, te lead the Apaches te victory, and drive the white man from the country. Neclaydit KIcuna is the name of the principal medicine man. Cel. Carr had orders from Gen. Willcox, who saw the influence which they were exerting ever the Avhitc Mountain Indians, te ar rest them all, and it was in obedience te this order that the expedition started from Camp Apache. The Indian scouts seem te have believed in the medicine men, tee, and te have determined en preventing their arrest. They did this by bctraviiur Cel. Carr and his command te the Indians in ambush, and themselves giving the signal for the massacre by making the attack. The situation of Cel. Carr's wife, who remains at Camp Apache, is particularly distressing. She has net only lest her husbaud, but her son, who was with his father at the time of the massacre. He was 18 years of age, and had recently re turned from the East, where he had been attending school, te pass his vacation with his parents. The Mexican authorities, who have a force of about 400 men en the border, have been informed of the out breaks, and have expressed a willingness te leek out for the enemy in the neighbor hood of the border, and te de all iu their power te aid the American forces.

THE LOSS OF THE TEUTON. Only Thirty-six of tbe Three Hundaed and Sixty-one Sema en Heard Saved. A telegram te the Union Mail steamship company, Louden, confirms the account relative te the less of the steamer Teuten, that the beat containing thirty women and children, of which it was thought at one time there might be some 'hope, was swamped. The survivors say that two hours before the ship sunk the beats were lowered te a level with the bulwarks, aud previsions aud compasses placed in them. Ona beat broke loose from its fastenings while being launched, and six were brought alongside. About tweuty women and children took places in them first. When the water rushed into the cngiue room the steamer sank by the head carry ing with her four beats, which were net fairly clear of the ship. Theso of the pas sengers and crew who rose te the surface clung te the floating wreckage until pick up by theso who righted a third beat. At daylight the beats made for Simen's bay, all who were clinging te spars were first taken aboard. The Teuten had 256 pas sengers, 83 of the crew, and 20 coolies en beard. Eleven of the passengers and 23 of the crew were saved. At the time the steamer struck the weather was clear. It was a moonlight night, but there was a haze along the shore. The striking of the vessel was ut terly without warning. After floating the Teuten steamed direct for Simen's bay, but her speed gradually slackened. The compartment which struck the rocks re mained sound, but that next te the engine room filled with water, probably through the starting of a plate. Perfect order was maintained among the passengers and crewduring their embarkation iu the beats. The sudden sinking of the vessel was caused by the cellapse of the bulkhead dividing the compartments. The steamer Danube has returned from the search for survivors, having discovered nothing. The corvette Dide has also returned from a search without finding auything. The secretary of the cempauy writes saying that further inquiries relative te the passengers bound for Kuysna have proved beyond a doubt that they were all, forty four iu number, en beard the Teuten at the time of her less, aud'that only three of them were saved.

Thinking your readers might have some interest in matters that have been trans piring in this big Western city, mere par ticularly a certain scries of eircumstauecs concerning a young man well known in your community, I have set about gather ing seme very spicy and interesting facts regarding the matter, with later develop ments iu connection therewith. St. Leuis cannot only beast of a very het summer in one respect, as it was cxccediugly warin in ethers. Some thirty murderers arc new ledged in the Four Courts await ing trial or execution of sentences, and the list is added te almost daily. The per formances at Urig's Cave have also beeu net unmixed with sensations. This is a large summer theatre, which is much patreuized by the ten of the city, who are particularly fend of al fresco cntcrtain mcuts. Ferd's opera cempauy had a splendid season of three nienths,and during that time there were the following episedes: An intercepted billet-deux from a gallant of the masher type, te a lovely girl named Spccr, who was iu the chorus, which re sulted in the filing of a $15,000 libel suit against the Pest-Dispatch, the evening paper here; two knock-down lights, in which the two leaders or the or chestra figured ; a quarrel in the company resulting from jealousies, and ending with the discharge of the aforesaid beau tiful Miss Spccr aud another lady ; and last, but net net least, the highly sensa tional episede in which the belle of St. Leuis. 3Iiss Nellio nazeltine, ayeung lady whose roputatieu had ever been abeve re proach aud whose beauty was of national report, figures iu a deuble-barreled flirta tion with a comely young chorus singer, Jehn Amwcg, who, by the way, has been ridiculed and scoffed at continuously and wil bout warrant ; and in order te get the true inwardness of the affair I put myself te seme pains and believe for the first time the true version of the affair is given publicity. Mr. Amwcg related a very cir cumstantial story, and he has certainly carried himself through the matter in a manly aud self-reliant manner, for the .odds were very heavy against him. Miss Ncllie Hazcltiue is certainly a very lovely young lady of a refined type of beauty, a gracctul, spiritucllc figure, deli cately chiscled features, dark brown eyes that merely have te plead for amorous glances te receive them, aud an abund ance of rich dark auburn hair. Her face is one which would be noted in a large audience or congregation where beauty was the rule rather than the exception. She is sensible, experienced, aud possesses traits which have made her extremely pop ular with her associates. As Mr. Amwcg says for several nights, she frequented the Cave, occupying with her gentlemen escorts front scats. A companion in the ballet called Amwcg's attention te the notice the young lady was taking of him, and he accordingly very naturally watched in return. One evening she took a small bouquet from her besom, motioned with it, aud placed it beside her chair. He made inquiries and was told by several persons who the young lady was. The susceptible young man was no Jeseph and he lest no lime in following up his conquest. Correspondence and interviews at the lady's heuse followed, and the belle presented him with several photographs en the back of which were inscribed lines signifying her undying dovotien. Aniweg sought counsel of several friends, when he considered as trustworthy confidantes, hut one these proved uuwerthv of the trust, and in a brief time the particulars of the affair had reached the ears of her brother, Will Hazeltine, and her alleged intended, Fred Paramere. Of Amwcg's geed faith in the matter no better evidenca could be furnished than that he sent ene of the young lady's epistles home te his mother, who returned it, at his request. Theu caine the meeting with Messrs. Hazcltiue aud Paramere. They succeeded in enticing Amweg iute au office in the Merchants' Exchange building, and made au assault upon him upon his refus ing te sigu a retraction taking back all he said in regard te Miss Hazeltine. He defended himself as well as he could, but sustained sonic severe injuries, ene of the bleeds using a leaded cane en him with considerable effect! They offered him money te get out of tewu and made all sorts of offers te com promise, but these he declined, and the next day his suit was iu the hands of a prominent lawyer. A criminal suit was instituted, also a civil suit for less of pesi tien and consequential damages. The taking of depositions was commenced, but, as yet, nothing new has been elicited. In the meantime the belle of this affair, has returned from her summering at White Sulphur Springs, and is still en rapport with her friends, who will uet accept that she had done anything wrong iu the premises. Seme of the press have behaved uu warrautably bad towards Amwcg, and some of the statements made regarding him were palpably untrue. In ene paper it was stated that during a sup plementary engagement he played at Urig's with Mattie Vickcrs and Chas. Rogers, and was hissed from the stage. This was made from whole cloth, for quite the contrary is the case. He was well received by the unusually large audi ence present. His rendition of the "gob-blc-gebblc" "bah-bah" duet as Pippe, in " LaMascotte," with Mattie Vickcrs, was encored several times before the au dience was satisfied, se admirably did he sing it. It is no secret that public epin- ieu has from the start been with Amweg there is no doubt as te that, aud he is highly complimented for his independence aud self-assertion. He certainly had a hard fight and a restitution is due him for the suffering, indignities and less of liveli hood, te which the unfortunate business has submitted him. On the Otlier Hand. The St. Leuis Pest Dispatch, of a late date, publishes a pretended picture of Am wcg, which docs net leek as much like him as the profile en a postage stamp, and says : Jehn Amweg is uet quite as goek-Iook-ing as the picture makes him out. On the contrary, he is rather au ordinary young man, with but little intellect flashing from his eyes of pal fire. When en the stage, however, with the aid of top-dressing and things, he is quite presentable, and just the sort of a troubadour te gaily touch his light guitar and send her letters home te "mar."' He has been reengaged at the Cave, and will appear tlieie next week, singing "The Heart Bowed Down." Ne doubt -he will be able te jirk a great deal of expression into it. If the eikf should go te trial, the key te the situation will be a letter new iu pos session of the plaintiffs attorneys. This is the epistle which Amwcg has sent te his mother. Paramore aud Hazeltine com pellcd Amweg te send a dispatch te his mother, who is .summering in Virginia, te mail this letter te him, 2731 Pine street, when, of course, it would have fallen into the hands of the defendants. As this let ter is the only one in existence of the proof of the alleged llirtatien, its posses sion, as a mailer ul course, was of vital importance te either side. Amweg had no sooner escaped the clutches of his ad versaries than he telegraphed his mother countermanding the previous dispatch auil instructing her te scud thn billet-deux te him at Urig's Cave. The second tele gram reached Mrs. Aniweg about half an hour after the first, just iu time te secure its mailing te Urig's Cave. It arrived there ou Tuesday afternoon, and within half an hour afterwards a copy of the niissive was in the hands of the Pest Dispatch, te the great disgust of both the plaintiff and his attorneys thcl.itter especially being an noyed at the fact. Until te-day, however, it publication has been withheld in the hope of obtain ing a fae-sitni!e copy t Hereof. As the plaiutilf s attorneys decidedly refuse te al low such a copy te be made or the press te even make a verbatim transcript of it, the Pest-Dispatch, as usual, in spite of all, presents the letter, inasmuch as it is bound te play a most important part of thiseaiue celebrc. The letter is as fellows : Sr. Lei'is, Friday, 2-M hist., I $81. Mr. Jehn Amweg : " If, as might readily be imagined, your recollections of last evening are pleasant ones, and you can eflbr proof of your being thoroughly tkust worth v, able te keep a :enkii)ENce sacrku from the jibes of your coarse associates, then answer this epis tle, and you will, no doubt, hear some thing te y.Mir advantage and profit before many horns. Yeu appear refined, intelli iicnt, yentlriuaiily, tinniest anil tiieH ijkd, clse you would never have'attractcil the notice of the writer. It is net necessary te go iute any explanation of the identity of the writer of this letter te v.ir ; aud if your response ii worthy of it, you will hear again from yeur'friend. "Miss Ellen Manean. "Care Mr. Win, Hauk, " West St. Leuis Posteflieo." The words italicized are all underlined iu the original, while theso in small capi tals arc twice underscored. The writing is iu a iiue angular lady's baud, with some what stragglingcharactcristies, and both composition aud calligraphy point te the author as bciug a lady of education, and net au erdiaary servant girl. On the reverse side of the letter is the rough draft in pencil of Amwcg's reply, in which he states that of course his recol lections were pleasant one, and further in quires if he possesses all the characteris tics which the lady has given him, and if he is refined, dignified, etc., hew could he betray the sacred confidence.
