_ THE AMERICAN CITIZEN, i Butler, Pa., Wednesday, July 26,'865 On the first page of to-days paper will be (bund the discourse of Rev. 11. A. (jHrothers. Do not fail to read it; you will be amply compensated for the time thus spent. " I'rrwviiiitlion.'' Two weeks ago we took the privilege nf correcting the erroneous statement of j the liditor of the Herald. in regard to the alleged "ill treatment" of a drafted man, by the Pro. Mar. of this Oifit., and his officials. The Editor .feeliug Jiatisfiod that lie had given publicity to that which was not true ; endeavors to speak out of i the matter by making an attack upon the j author of' the article in the CJTIZKN. — i Tho Tallowing is his language: "The Writer in the UITIZK.N was at that time j employed in the I'rovost Marshal's office, | and from his attempt to justify and be little the outrage referred to, the presump tion is raised that he was a party to it. j The man of the lbraid must certainly j have a very poor memory, or else he docs ! not wish to tell the truth; wc did not [ gtate tlutjan outrage bad been commit- j ted, but stated very clearly that bis j statement Was untrue and without found ation, but the mmlnt man iwiat raise a j '• presumption" that some body was, is j or ought to bo guilty of soma crime or j misdemeanor in office; be "vould bo like { a fish out of water, if he could not find j fault with the Pro. Mar. or some of bin j subordinates. The writer of the article referred toiuthe CITIZEN cares vory little j what the Editor of tl.e Hern hi may think*! of his official acts while connected with j the Pro. Marshal's office. 11 is " Prcsunip- j tions" are of very little consequence upon j any subject, and the Presumption is j verv strong, that if he would take truth \ for his motto, bo would be able to state facts and not sneak along behind '■presumptions," and thus endeavor to j east an untrue suspicion upon those, who ! (in the language of the heavtif'iil sheet which ho publishes) " do the dirty work i about the Provost Marshal's office." I i '•Mr. Presumption" wants any thing more fi* >m the writer referred to. ho can bo ac- ; eominodated by—' Pitching in." NUIITII lloi'K, litm.Kii co., PA., ! July 21!, ISO"). Mit. EDITOR:—Last niflit we were I visited by quite a storm, prostratirigqnito j a lot of trees, and blocking up the roads j completely. A large portion of the P. P. Church : of Mt. Vernuui, was blown off, which. I however, is not a matter of much - regret, as the congregation bud already taken the j incipient steps tor the erection of a no»v I one. 15. | Washington, July 28.—The Presi- ■ .dent lias i*e"ogniz°il Adolf Rosenthal i as Consul of 'lie Principality of Ke uss.fm* Wisconsin. It is ascertained, on inquiry, that! there is a continued reduction of cor- j tifieates of indebtedness—"he number | received being much larger than those j already issued. The Postmaster General is gr.idu- j ally re toring postal sevvuv all over i the South. The mails are all wait- j ing at the Washington Postollice t*>j be conveyed directly through to | Richmond and Petersburgh. Con- I tract has just been made by railroad I to Canton Miss., and from Canton to ! Jackson, Tenn. Other heads of De- I partments are engaged in resto in * | civil machinery in accordance witji ! the President's proclamation appoint- | ing provisional governors. A W ashington special says See-re- > tary Welles ordered a competitive! test between the machinery of the ' Alongonqu n and Monski, at the i wharfin New York under a board of j examiners. The president has finally ordered j Mr Webster to be commissioned as Collector at Baltimore. VIRGINIA ELECTIONS.—If the peo-! pie of Virginia prefer to elect seccs- ! sionists to office, as it would seom. I they rentier the r condition all the i worse. The Federal Government • will go right ahead 112 r all such ob- I structions ; and we have the very best' leasmfor believing 'hat President Jol nson will,in good time,let that and every other State acting in the same way, know that there is no humor to be trifled with. 'J he Old Dominion will find that if the war has not been fought through to the end—even the "bitter" end—it surely will be, if she so wills it. - The President's policy is to establish firmly and everywhere, the principles for which the war was waged. —The trial of Captain Henry Wirz, late prison-keeper at Andersonville, for cruelty and barbarity practiced upon our prisoners confined at that place, will furnish much material for history. As many of our brave boys (thanks to good constitution.) endur ed the dreadful sufferings imposed on them at A/idersonvjlle, there -will be no lack of evidence to esibalish ttie guilt of the accused. The inves tigation will, ,UD doubt, embrace the whole history ,of the prison, from its establishment to its close, and will reveal-to what extent Jeff. Davis and his co-conspirators are tresponsible for the systematic fljur ier.Qf our soldiers at that place. t A FlC* IIT WITH IMH WS r Jf >*>•>'**»«}• • ■ «- The Loss of the Indians Heavy. Fyjvr LAIIAMIE. July 27.—4)ne thou sand Ch3yennes,Biocix, Arapahoes, Black foot, and a few Comanche*, attacked Platte Bridge Station on the telegraph road on Tuseday. The garrison number ed less than 250. The fight lasted two davs, and resulted in a heavy loss to the Indians. The loss on our side was Lieut. Collins, and one enlisted man in the 1 lib Ohio Cavalry, 25 men of the 1 1th Kan sas. killed, und 9 wounded. The Indians j retreated west, tearing down the telegraph \ poles and destroying the wires. A note was picked up on the battle- i field, written by a white prUo.icr recent- ! i !y on the .Smith Platte, which, says the ; ■ Indians do not want Peace, but arc fight- j ' ing for all time. We had killed one of ! their chiefs in a fight, aud they are going i to destroy the telegraph ; and,that they ! expect reinforcements, j The body of Lieutenant Collins was I horribly mutilated. ]1 is hapds and feet j • wore cut off. his throat cut, and heart j ! torn out. He ivi*s scalped, and had over | ; a huudrcd arrows iij him. | There seems not the slightest disposi- j 1 tion on the part of the Indians for peace, j | whoih ci i only be obtaimd ly severely j I punishing them. ! < (ne of the powder Iliver columns in; | now moving to join a force from Platte j j Bridge, which is following the Indians, i It is stated all the troops intended for j j the Indian Expedition would have been j t in the field long ago bad not the contrac- j | t'.'is failed to deliver supplies avsordiCg to ; ! the terms of their contrasts.

Ilis wife obtained a divorce | on the gaound of lii<s conviction of a j penal ofiense, and married again.— j This enraged Aldridgo, and on Tues ; day, lie visited her at her dwelling, . drew a revolver and swore he would kill her. Being a strong woman she seized him by the arm and pre vented him from using it until the police arrived and took him into cus tody. IN FEW WORDS—The Government and the people during the war pledged each other that slavery should perish, and in the suppression of the rebellion the pledge has been redeemed. To main tain the rights of the freedmen President Johnsen will employ the whole power of the Gevernment if necessary. The facti ous opposition of the discomfittod rebels South, and their .equally forlorn friends North, wou-'t amount to anything. ■The President is determined, and will not allow tlve South to manage for-them selv.es..until they sincerely adopt the re sults of the war as their policy. Wheth er it will be in one year or four must'be determined by themselves. Self inter est will settle, the entire question .before a groat while. —Gov. Perry, before he left Washing ton for South 1 arolina, expressed much interest in the Freedmeu's Bureau, aud requested General Howard to furnish full instructions on the Governments policy oin that subject. _ j I Southerners laying Northern Jl)rbts Colonel Forney, in a letter to the Prc»», relates the following.: Some days a; o, a man rudely and careless ly dressed came into Washington, on his way to New York. lie had to mske himself known to his old friends, so much had four years of suffering changed his appearance. He had with liiin a large amount of gold with which to pay his creditors, from whom he had purchased heavily be fore the rebellion. He called upon ! them. They, too, did not recognize i him. lie uid not intimate, after ' telling them who he was, that he had ' come back to square this accounts; ! but lie asked them for new credit.— : It was promptly tendered to him.— | "We believe in you." they t aid ; "we | knew the day would eomo when you j wonld acknowledge your honest in j dehtedness, and now we are ready to I start you again, so tint you may be i what you were,in other (lavs. Had ! they been rude or harsh ; htld they reminded him of his shortcomings, i and called liiin hard names, it was ; his intention to pay them and buy j his goods elsewher 'I hey kept a I customer, and lic.d a friend to them I with hooks of steel. A gigantic ef fort is now being made to rebuild and equip the great lines of Southern railroads, and Northern capitalists have offered to undertake the w.jik, | und to manage the TO (IS for a long I series < 112 years, on a large advance upon ih" profit! which these th-rough j fares yi lded before the war. Such is one view of a national question —a question of trade. It may be doubted by hose who gloomily dwell upon the picture of Sout orn destitu tion, and speculate upon the recupe rate reanimate. Southern society and commerce. Hut it is a tact none the j less. This is the uge of rapid events. | A sudden rebellion and a sudden col lapse will be fo lowed by sudden re covery. ANOTHER FBIEND IN PARLIAMENT. —The election of John Stuart Mills to I the British Parliament, will give this i country another fast friend in that body. I With John Bright be has stood fast for ! our cause, and the fall of tho rebellion j was a great personal triumph, as well as j tho triumph of a great principle. Bright and Mills will be be nd from hereafter. ' Arrival and Departure oOlails Th® mill from ljutlor t«> Ktwt Sand v, hr w«y -if 110l v oke, C'tttU«r(ivill»». An tti-Lilr.
