THE INDIANS.
Haw iBi GhivKBia ta tlia a f
patB.
A correspondent writing from Ayersburg,
Cloude county, Kansas, August 18, send! the
annexed account to the Missouri Democrat:
Thinking tbat it may interest your readers to
hear something from the scene of the last Indian
outbreak, I send you the following:
Hmall Dane's ot Cheyennes appeared on Plum
creek, on the line of Cloude and Mitchell coun
ties, on the 12th Instant, aud at once commenced
to steal horses, clothing, etc., aud to kill the
citizens that did not succeed in escaping. The
report spread like fire: but before the cllizeus
could gather together 1 a force the Indians had
swept down towards Ash creek, where some
people bad assembled and otlered resistance,
and escaped.
Moving still further down to Fisher's creek,
the Indians drove all the settlers away from
there, till within four miles east ot Pope
creek, when probably hearing that parties
Irom Solomon aud Adeline City were comiug in
pursuit, they retraced their steps, and at last
accounts they were going towards the settle
ments on the Republican. The result of this
raid may bo summed up as follows: Ten
persons killed, .eight or ten wounded, one of
whom is a lady, who is not expected to live:
two or three hundred head of horses stolen; and
all the sen lei s in the test part oi ihc Solomon
valley driven from their homes. Two children
tbnr were taken by the Indians on Pium creek
were brought in to-day by a parly of citizens.
Company F. of the 6ih Iufantrv. Captain Sny
der commandioz, from Fort Kiley, and Com
pany K, 7th Cavalry, Brevet Colonel West com
manding, arrived at AU creek on the 17tb, too
Juie to be ot any assistance.
Great pralre is due to Governor Crawford and
bis Adjutant-Geueral, wuo came up ironi Saline,
aud forthwith began to orguuizu parties to go in
puiBuir.
Can the Government, after the late treaties,
do nothing to save the settlers from these red
cut-throats, who, It is suspected, have among
them many white outlaws? Has Geu. Hheridtu
gone to fulfill his threat of punishing the lu
uians if they did not keep the peace? The
settlers in tlrs partot Kansas are anxious to
hear ot the intentions oi the Government la this
matter.
SInrdr of Comstock tba Gold.
The Lawrence (Kansas) Zrikune of the 2 JtU
inst. relates tbefoliowlug:
Mr. Fisber, a resident ot Hays city, who ar
rived here yesterday, pave us some particulars
concerning the death of Comstock, the notud
guide and interpreter, who was killed on bunday
night lust, by Indians, west of Hays city. He
and a companion came loto Hays on Friday,
and staeu until Saturday, wnen tney weut to
the camp ot Black Kettle, a Cueyenne chief, who
was camred on a stream about thirty miles
from Hays. Soon after dark on Suudiy
evening scouts came Into Black Kettle's
camp, and eave information ot the massacres
on the Boloruon and Itepublicau. Comstock
and his companion were ordered, immediately
after the receipt of the intelligence, lo leave the
camp, which order was obeyed without delay.
four warriors aid tnrce ooys accompanied
them, and, after getting some distance from
camp, ordered them to halt, raising their cuns
at tde same instant and firing on them. Coin
stock fell dead shot through the heart aod his
compauion fell to toe ground wounded, but had
the presence of mind not to move. The Indians
rode up and looked at them, and supposing both
were dead, rode away. As soon as they were
eone the wounded man started for the railroad
track. Borne twenty-uve miles distant, and suc
ceeded in reaching it, and, getting aboard the
first train tuat passed, came into flats, where
he is at present.
DISASTER.
Explostom of a Locomotive at II trrUbnrff.
The Harrisbuig tSlale Guard of yesterday
savs:
About i o'cioct yestcruay an alarm ot ore
won sonndoiL nnri the conmniiies Willi their
usual vigilance were promptly ou band, but
before they reached tne ecene ot disaster tue
fire had been suppressed, and their services
weie not called into requisition. It seems that
engine .No. DO oi tne Pennsylvania uniroaa
Conipanv bad been brought out of thcrounl
1 ouse preparatory to being attached to a
rieipbt train, and leit standing on tne tract
w bile the engineer and fireman went to their
dinner. From soma unaccountable cause.
during their absence, an explosion took
place in the combustion chamber of the
eueine. the report at the time sounding
like the discharge of u canuon. The
engine was completely reversed bv the explo
sion, turning, as it were, a complete sunmer
sauli, and by this means sustaining its principal
injuries. Fragments of iron aud cinders were
hurled a considerable uistauce, aud tire commu
nieated to the slable in the rear of Mr. Robert
Elliott's hotel, corner of Pennsylvania and Broil
streets, the round house bell immediately
sounding the alarm. The residents in the
vicinity went promptly to work, and before the
firemen reached the locality the flames had been
Quenched. The loss ot Mr. Elliott is small. The
locomotive is pretty badly injured, the grouud
toru up to a great extent, and ore, asues, iron,
and saLd scattered to a considerable distance.
The most singular part is that one of the red
lamps beloneing to the locomotive was thrown
by the exclusion a dlstauce of one hundred
yards without breaking it. A colored man
named Johu Ford, living on Riley street, near
Can d Curtin. while eaiinir his dinner in tue
jad of the car shops, was struck by a piece of
falling lion, and received a severe wound on nis
head. The eneineer and fireman, at the time,
were but a short distance from the engine when
the accident occurred.
It seems almost miraculous that the accident
was less disastrous in its .results, and tbat no
one was seriouly injured. An investigation
will doubtless be held to trace the cause ot this
sireular explosion, and the circumstances at
teudinn the same. The locality where it took
place is usually thronged with persons at that
time of day, and now tuey escaped is certainty
unaccouniame.

SEA ISLAND COTTON.
Its Prospects for tba Prasamt gttioa.
A writer to the Charleston (S. C.).Mercury, of
Fuday last, remarks:
"The diversity of opinion which prevails con
cerning the origin and habits of the cotton
worm induces this notice, in the hope that con
currence of opinion may lead to concert of
aciiou In our warfare against this pest.
"About tne year nm, tue sea island or DiacK
seed cotton was introduced by some ot tbe
wealthier .lanters ot Carolina, but lor til tee u
years struggled fitfully tor existence. The diffi
culty ot separating tbe lint from the seed, the
scantiness or the yield Irom uu methodical cul
ture, aud tbe want of a market, frowned down
tbe attention ot tne needy piauter, and it was
nut until 1800 that we find the indigo vat rotting
in the hollow, while its conqueror, the cotton
gin, hummed Its requiescat in pace irom the hill.
But thiB king of cottons soou discovers an enemy
in nis cump, tusidious, toiling, multiplying, de
stroying. A sweetish, siekly odor comes wafted
from bis newly won realms; tbe negro driver
scents it as be takes the hauds to their morning
work, and scratches his head; tbe overseer
snufJs it iu his early rounds, aud peers uneasily
among tne plants; tne piauter luoaies it irom
afar, and grows pale 'By all tbatis abominable,
tbs caterpillar 1' And so it Is; and the luxuri
ant fohaee. cut up and crushed in a mvrlad
mills, is yielding this fragrance with its life.
'imrmg tne last two years we nave Been sur
prised to bear, and from persons of intelligence,
remarks as follows: Tne caterpillar comes only
every twenty-one years,' or 'every seven years,'
or 'never two successive years.' Statistical in
formation of the worm pins falsehood to the
backot mostot these would-be dograts, while
its natural history is at variance with the others.

railed, is usually suspended to the cotton stalk,

neighborhood of cotton belds.
Trie burning of fires in tne fields; the fumes
of sulphur; the encouragement of birds and
of large flocks of turkeys, by tbe scattering of
corn and nieai among tne cotton plants; tue
cutting down and trampling of iboe stalks
which indicated their presence, aud tbe picking,

by plauters, unawares, it may have been, to
themselves.
"Planting Sea Island cotton with ths results
of the past two Tears, and possibly tbe preheat
year (although we hope for better results), in
volves tne loss ot nope, mouey, and credit. We
must abandon it or find a remedy for the in
roads of the cotton moth.
"We find that, no matter whence its origin, it
is now established as a native, and is an annual
scourge. We fiud warfare against tbe caterpillar
but partially successful. Let us attack, then,
the chrysalis. Let those whose means survive
past losses first of all inctcase their stock of
cattle, and nuidly prohiolt within their terrl
toiial limits this wholesale destruction of birds.
Have a rotation of crops, or plant alternate
years. Plant sparingly, limiting the quau'ity to
an extent that will permit the iorce' emnloved
to practice all the known means of destroying
tbe caterpillars, and also alter harvest or search
ing out and destroying the cocoons. Manure
heavily. Plant early, and by constaut hoeing
lorce the maturity ol the crop. Concert of
action is necessary. Without thii the neglect of
a lew becomes tno rain oi a community.

tbe Department of the couth, Atlanta, Georgia;
Major General George II. Thomas, commanding
the Department of the Cumberland, Louisville,
Kentucky? and to Brevet Major-General R. C.
Buchanan, commanding tbe Department of
Louisiana, New Orleans, Louisiana. The letter
to General Buchanan was published some days
ago:
Headquarters of the Armt, Adjittant
GENihAL'e Office, Washington Aue. 25, 18G8.
Mnjor-General O. G. Meade. United States Army,
commanding the Department of the 8outb,
Atlanta, Georgia. General: In reply to your
request for instructions relative to the
use of tbe troops under your command
in aid of the civil authorities
tbe Secretary of War directs to be turn abed
for your information an l government, the en
closed copies ct a letter ot instructions to Brevet
MajorGeneral Buchanan, commanding tbe
Dcpaitmeut of Louisiana, dated August 16,
18G8, and of a letter from the Attorney-General
of the United 8ta'es to Alexander Mastra
der, Et-q., United States Marshal of the Northern
D strict of Florida, dated AuRUat 2i, 1868. Tbe
letter to General Buchanan intlicatps the condi
tions under which the military force of the
United 8tates may be employed to suppress in
surrection acalcst the government of any State,
and prescribes tbe duties of tbe department
commander in reference thf reto. The letter of
the Attorney General sets forth the conditions
under which the marshals and sheriff may
commend the assistance of ttin troops In their
respective districts or counties, to eiecute tbe
lawful precepts issued , to them by competent
autboritr; the obliga ion of the military indivi
dual, oflicer and soldier, in common with all
citizens, to obey tbe summons; a marshal and
sheriff must be hel l subordinate to their para
mount military body, tamce tbe troop can acf.
only in their proper organized capacity, under
their own officers, and in obedience to tbe im
mediate oroers of those officers.
Tbe officer commanding troops summoned to
the aid of a mutfhal or sheriff mut al so judee
for himsclt, and upon bis own official responsi
bility, whether the service required of him is
lawful and necessary, and compatible with tbe
proper diccharire ot his ordinary military
dutie?, and must limit his action absolutely to
proper a'd in execution of the lawiul precept
exhibited to him by tbe Marshal or Sheriff. If
time will ptrmit, every demand from a civil
officer for military aid, whether it Ye lor the
execution of civil process or to suppress insur
rection, should be forwarded to the PreriJent
with ail the material tacts in the eas?, for bii
orders, and in all cases the highest
com rounder whose orders cau be given
in time to meet ihe emergency will alone
assume the responsibility ot action by a timely
disposition of troops where there is reason to
apprehend a necessity for their use, and by their
passive inlerpofition between hostile puriies tbe
danper of collision may be averted. Department
commanders, and in cases ot necessity their
subordinates, are expected in this regard to
exprcise. upon tbeir own responsibility, a wi-e
discretion, to the end that iu any aveut the
peace may be pieferved.

Tbe occupation was altogether distasteful to
youne Elliott, who devoted all his leisure timo
t ) his favorite pursuits ot drawlne and paint
inp, with tbe expectation of one day becoming
a painter. His fat be r, seeing that be was un
