Johnson, Philadelphia Con- His Views o t the ventlou. The Auguste (Ga.) Constitutionalist publishes a letter from Hon. H. V. Johnson, giving his views of the Phila delphia Convention. He says: Although I felt the necessity of some means of bringing the conservative men of the North and the people of the South into co-operation, yet I doubted the ex pediency of the call for the Philadelphia Convention. After it was called X was very timidly in favor of sending dele gates, fearing that the passions engen dered by the war had not sufficiently subsided to admit ot harmony in council and wisdom in action. lam glad that my misgivings have been disappointed, and 1 believe that much good has been done and progress made toward restor ing harmony, upon the basis of the Con stitution. Though notallwhich I could wlßh, yet more than I expected was done. With the spirit, tone, and in the main, the sentiments of the resolutions adopted, / am satisfied. Both in lan guage and principle, 1 would make slight modifications. But take them as a whole, considered in the light of sur rounding circumstances, they furuish less ground for complaint than I could have anticipated. They were evidently dictated under the inspiration of patriot ism, and phrased in language Intended not to wound theseusibllitiesof an over powered but proud und gallant people. Viewing them in this light, I am will ing to accept them in the spirit that gave lliein form and utterance, and ignore whatsoever^is distasteful, us a tribute to the generous enthusiasm of the patriotic body from whom they emanated. The question is frequently asked by those wno honestly opposed the repre sentation of tlie estate in the Conven tion, and who now withhold their ap proval of its action, what good has it accomplished ? Xu reply, it has, in my judgment, effected two very important things—important to the whole coun try, and especially to those States which are deuied representation in Congress. Xn tile first place, it inaugurated the be ginning of good feeling and understand ing between ihe two sections. The war has engendered bitterness and hatred. There can be no real political fraternity between the North and South until such / feeling shall have been and confidence re-established between the two sections. We at the Bouth, looking to the treatment we have received from Congress, since the surrender of our arms, are apt to forget that we have friends at the North, and to class its whole people as enemies to the restora tion of the Union and to our welfare. The people of the North, attaching un due importance to the falsehoods of hired letter-writers, who distort and magnify every act of rashness or im prudence that occurs in our midst, or mistaking the honest but injudicious comments of a portion of our press, for the true exposition of the general senti ment, imagine thata spiritof insubordi nation to the Constitution and laws per vades the Bouth. The result has been the perpetuation of mutually bad feel ings—crimination and recrimination. Doubtless many of the intelligent, of both sections, knew the error, but they could' not expose it to the masses, for lack of some practical demonstration that would arrest general attention. The Philadelphia Convention furnished that demonstration. Xt was signalized by scenes of enthusiusm unparalleled in the history of Conventions, in this country. The better feelings of the heart—charity, magnanimity, generosi ty, love of justice, patriotism—were started from their icy repose and thawed into happy fusion. It was a meeting of the North and the Bouth, not on the battle-field, but on the field of recon ciliation ; and the representatives from each section returned home, prepared to testify truthfully of the temper and spirit of the people vf each, that, while honestly differing on some questions, they agree to co-operate with each other in the great work of restoration. Xu tlxe second place, the Convention has organized a party, pledged to the restoration of the Union, upon the basis of the Constitution and ot representa tion to the Southern States, without any other test of loyalty besides. the oath to support the Constitution of the United States. This is deeply interes ting to us. It is the overshadowing question paramount to all others. It is vital. I surrender none of the cherish ed political opinions of my life, so far as they are applicable to the situation in ’ which we are left by the war, nor do I indorse such as I believe to be erroneous in the Philadelphia platform and ad dress. But what avails the discussion of these now? What can we gain by argument? We have no audience ; we are practically out of the Union; we have no voice in the action of the Gov ernment. Bhall we waste our powers in vain debate, and refuse to co-operate with the conservative men of the North because they differ with us upon some questions? Shall we throw obstacles in their way, by jealous criticisms ol'the proceedings of the Convention, at the very time when they are fighting our battle ? Shall we not rather aid, sus tain and encourage them by earnest co operation? For one, lam prepared to do it with my whole heart; for the issue is vital. It involves, in my judgment, not only the destiny of the South, but that of coustitutioual liberty. Borne such movement as that of the Philadelphia Convention was neces-. sary, in order to afford the conservative' element of the country a defined basis of action, on which it could organize and concentrate its forces against the destructive policy of the dominant party. It cannot fail to produce a pow erful effect. The people have but to open their eyes to see that liberty is in peril, aud that the Constitution is sought to be substituted by the will of an irre sponsible majority. The people every where love liberty ; they love the Con stitution ; they are honest; they are to be trusted. Show them the right and they will pursueit; make them sensible of the danger and they will unite to avert it; expose to them the bad ambi tion of power, drunk with the love of dominion, and they will rise to over throw it. The campaign in the North ern and Northwestern States Is justnow opening. The Philadelphia Conven tion boldly and clearly presents the issue between the conservative and de structive elements, of restoration of all the Btates to representation, on the basis of the Constitution on the one hand, and on the other the perpetuation of Btrife and discord, by the wicked out lawry and disfranchisement of nearly one-third of the States of the Union. The appeal is made to the calm, sober patriotism of the Northern people. With them the battle is to be won or lost. Liberty and the promise of good government is the prize on one side, against misrule and despotism on the other. May we not, since the late dem onstration in Philadelphia and the pa triotic response of the President to the resolutions of the Convention, indulge a hope of final triumph for truth, j us tice und State equality ? Prior to the action of the Philadelphia Convention the President had no party to sustain him. He stood alone, so far as organized co-operation was con cerned, against the assaults of the Radi cal Congress and Press. He has exhibited courage worthy of Jackson, and a de termination to restore the Southern Stateß to rightful representation in Con gress which cannot fall to challenge our support and commendation. The Con vention was , confessedly a movement of his conception. He desired it, first, to ihaugurate good feeling and un derstanding between the friends of the Union, under the Constitution; secondly, to organize them into a party to sustain his policy of res toration; and thirdly, to present fairly to the people of the Whole country the distinct issue of reinstating the ten excluded' States to their constitutional to the other States, without 1 eoUßtitutiohal tests ■ of’ loyalty. The > whole programme is deeply, vitally in- i ■ j ■.!i . i Mi — 1 1 i" f | i r Lancaster JlntdUg cnccu tv > ■, , i * i ' . : VOLUME 67. tere&ting to the South. Shall we not hold up hie hands? Shall we not give him our earnest support ? Shall we not do all In our power to orown the action of the Convention with the most tr iumphant success ? Mr. Johnson deprecates any captious criticism upon the action of the Phila delphia Convention by the Southern Press; refers to the disappointment of the Radicals at the resultof the Conven tion, and says: I say God speed theSvork which was begun in Philadelphia. Every consid eration of Interest and patriotism calls upon us to aid in the work of restora tion. "Wecanneversuccesßfully organize our agricultural labor; capital will not flow to us for the development of our unbounded natural resources ; .popula tion will not increase rapidly, nor pros perity return to us so long as the pres ent political derangement continues. We shall be the helpless victims of misrule and despotism. The domina tion of the Radicals must be broken down,or constitutional liberty Is lost, and the South doomed to the saddest fate that ever befell a civilized people. Our duty is plain, it involves no dishonor. It requires us to practice patience, for bearance, conciliation'and'resignation to presen t evl Is for the sake of greater future good. We cannot expect to have things all our own way. It we could, our situation were quite different. We would wish that we were free from debt, and that no stay-law were necessary to save the people from utter ruin. But the war brought the one, and a sense of self preservation among the people drugiands the other. If we could have thiqitH all our own way, the war had resulted differ ently; we would have taken our posi tion as an independent Power among the family of nations. But Providence ordained otherwise, und we must obey the irrevocable decree. It is the part of wise and liberal statesmanship to toler ate what it cannot prevent, and seek, by appeal to reason and patriotism,Jo mitigate what lit cannot control. To learn this it is one of the most valuable lessons for individual life. It is equally so for States. It brings comparative happiness to both, while the heart frets and chafes under the friction of vain resistance. Respectfully, &c., Hekschet, V. Johnson, Geary’s Photograph. Governor Geary is not a General I Jackson. He is not, on the other hand, I a respectable tyrant, nor yet. an imbe- I die. He is merely a politician, and a I miserable tool of a miserable faction. I He came here not to make peace, but to I make it appear that there was peace ; I not to put an end to iniquity, but to cover up iniquity for a little while, so I that the smoke of its burning might not ascend to Heaven as an evidence against the perpetrators of all these villainies. Governor Geary has indis creetly boasted that he had a “Presi dential candidate to carry qn his shoul ders.” Under this impression he has had an eye single to the precious burden. Proud of 7 this anticipated imperial weight, the Governor has not for an in stant allowed his executive nerve to be unsteadied by the groans of an enslaved young empire. The bleeding ruin of American liberties has been scattered at his feet, and not one republican manly throb has stirred his heart to the bold and thorough action he owes Kansas. All his efforts have been to bolster and strengthen the Pro-Slavery party, hence they remain satisfied with their master; while at the same time he is loud in his protestation and decla rations of impartiality, justice, &c. Gov ernor Geary is either a very dignified man or a very pompous one—perhaps a little of both. He is a profound egotist, and talks about what lie is and in tends to be, in a somewhat os tentatious manner, Governor Geary is a determined man, without the capacity to determine on any systematic course. He has an iron will without a purpose, his only aim being to carry the afore said Presidential candidate safely on his shoulders, and that is under instruc tions. He has made statements about having ten thousand dollars of secret service money. He also stated to a company of Free-State gentlemen that "there were not two men starting over the prairie, but he knew where they were going.” “You have not a secrdt meeting,” he said, “but I know what takes place—l almost know your thoughts.” II this be all true, the con duct of his omnicient Excellency iB still moreculpable. —New York Tribune , Oct. 1856. A Little More Patience. What an excellent hit of advice for I the present driving, go-ahead genera- | tion the above expression contains. It I ought to be engraved on every rail car I and stage in the city—it ought to meet I us at every turn, stare us in the face I upon every corner, and stand out in bold I relief on all occasions as the mentor of the nineteenth century. It should be raised for the same purpose as was the brazen serpent in the wilderness, that people might look and live. It would preserve morelives than ail tbestatutory enactments that have been passed for that purpose since the days of Solon. It would save the bankruptcies, give us some exemptioa at least from the explo sive power of steam, and deliver many from the devouring waves. There is no use expostulating. The motto of the day is * go-ahead.' We see it in everything—in the panting locomo tives, the dashing steamers and the swift clippers, all striving to annihilate time and space. We can see hundreds sauntering in Broadwy everyday, look ing at the pictures in the shop-windows, of crowds lounging about hotels, all ap pearing as composed as if they never were in a hurry. But let these same in dividuals —now so quiet —get on a rail car or a steamboat, and they would com plain that the fastest were too slow. Where this irrepressible desire for ban ishing distance from the vocabulary will end, we know not, though the chances are that all creation will some day run off the track and involve everybody in one grand catastrophe. In that event, where one of those articles of Bunsby wisdom, a coroner’s jury, will be found to investigate the causes of the disaster, is an interesting question for the curious. The JV. Y. Tribune and the Radical 9 have been telling awful big stories about their gains in Vermont, when the fact is that the gains are all on the other side. Hear what the Burlington (Vt.) Sentinel says : The Democratic gains are very large, I though the Republicans have made I large, though comparatively much less I gains. On the Congressional ballot the Conservative men everywhere have I done their work nobly, and thrown a I very heavy vote for their own candi- I date, Waldo Brigham. The vote in this city alone for Brigham was 362, a plurality of 133 over Baxter, and only 25 less than the vote for Romeo H. Hoyt. The reports through the I State are as yet meagre. The Rad ical State ticket is, of course, re-elected entire. Conservative men, however, everywhere, who have heretofore acted with the Radicals of the Republican party, are regarding with favor the Philadelphia platform, and are cordially indorsing the party and the principles of the grand Rational Union Conven tion recently held in that city. The Democratic gain in this city over the vote of. last year is over 300 per cent, while the Radical gain is a little over 200 per cent. The Valley of Virginia. A correspondent of the Richmond (Va.) Times, writing from Lexington, in that State, says: “The Valley of Virginia iarecovering rapidly from the effects of the late war —more rapidly, in fact, than any other section of the South. This may be at tributed to several reasons. First, the ready adaptation of its soil, to any sys tem of labor. Second, the compara tively . small number of freedmeh. -Thira. the indomitable spirit of energy that characterize* all classes of its peo ple.” THE INDIASH. Indian Alarms—•TreMlea With the Red.

Central City, Colorado, July 23, 1860. Correspondence of the New York Times. It is one of the pleasures of living In Colorado that every now and again a report of Indian barbarities oomesjalong to arouse the adventurer to a sense of what may hap f>en when he is on his way home. The Fall s especially the time for these rumors. The Indians spend the Summer in recovering from their Winter starvation, in hunting and drawing the Government supplies. The latter include not only rations of food, but arms, ammunition and other agreeable things to have on band. When well primed the redskins divide their forces, leaving squuws, old men and children in some secluded camp hid away among the bluffs, while the young warriors or “bucks” are on the war-path hunting down suoh'soli tary travelersor unguarded emigrant trains as they can find. They care little for sex, age or nationality. All is fish that comes to their nets ; every head-bears h scalp, and Is therefore of equal value in their eyes. They tall with peculiar relish upon the hunters, who, in companies of half a dozen or less, range the buffalo and antelope grounds. They consider this an invasion of their rights, and make it a point to avenge most terribly all such intervention. Butitis not ut all necessary that the unfortunate victim should be a trespasser on their ground. It is, to them, amply sufficient reason for mur der that r man is lonely or a train unpre pured. They swoop down at once, and one mungled body or a band of emigrants look ing with dismay at their wagons left with out n hoof to draw them, istheconsequence. VIOLATION OP TREATIES. Of course these things are violations of their treaties with the whites, but little care they for that. Their understanding of a treaty is curious. To them treaty-making is a wonderful piece of strategy which ena bles them to recruit their wasted warriors and find relief from battle, without the dan ger of a descent by pursuing whites. They have more than once made a treaty the ruse under covor of which a deadly blow was struck. I will give the details of such a munceuvro and its consequences before 1 finish. It is natural to ask why after such bitter experience the Government will still make treaties with them. Thut is one of tho mysteries of the Indian question. The people out here have their minds pretty well made up about the proper ireutrnent of these” only original” Copperheads. Nothing strikes one more on crossing the Missouri River tbun tho marked change in feeling toward the "sauvages,” as our ancestors knew them. East of that river the subject is rarely broached or spoken of only in the ” poor Indian” style. But crossing the few hundred yards of that stream makes a decided difference. Indian affairs are often alluded to and always in a decided manner. SOCIAL DISTURIIANCEH. The reason of the chauge is apparent enough. The people who congregate in the Missouri Kiver towns are either on their wuy to the mountains or have just return ed, or at all events have their trade, their social interest, and after all, their prospects iu life connected with the mountains and the active population these high peaks and winding ranges enfold, Very naturally they feel a strong personal interest in all that ali'ects these Western regions, and want to see the Indians held thoroughly in subjection, in order thut their business prospects may not be jeoparded, nor their friends live in constant peril. The river towns, too, have had their lull share of violence and danger, I have before spoken of the frequent exhibitions of Lynch law in Denver and other Colorado towns in earlier days. In still earlier times, before Pike’s Peak was regarded with any other interest than as the highest of the peaks in this re gion, Atchison, St. Joe and Omaha had gone through like dreadful experiences. A gen tleman I met told me he went to Omaha about twelve years ago with his wile and children, and on the evening of his arrival walked out to see the place. Noticing a crowd, he went up, thinking it a. good op portunity to learn the habits oi the resi dents. In this he was not mistaken. A miserable wretch, kneeling in abject terror and with a halter dangling from his neck, was the centre of the assembly. The peo ple stood urouud, well accustomed to the sight, and with feelings rather of contempt for the victim’s pusillanimity than compas sion for his fate. My informant after that saw “a hanging” as it is called here, very nearly seven nights in each week as long as he lived there. 1 now TOWNS HAVE SUFFERED. The towns have suffered too from the Indian jealousies. Once they formed the frontier line of settlements, and each in turn had to withstand the efforts of the savages to dispossess the settlers. Kansas was the home of the Pawnees in former times, the most valorous Indians of the Plains, but now more than decimated and broken in heulth and spirit. Fire-water and the blighting influence which civilization nearly always exercises upon savage tribes, have brought them from the first place to such a position that they call other tribes to their assistance if they want to fight against the Sioux. But the qualities which gave them their old superiority still remain in part, and the Sioux, now par excellence the war riors of the Plains, do not like to meet them in any less proportion than five to one. Sfill they are beaten at times, as in a late instance, when a Pawnee came in and re ported a battle with the Sioux and the defeat of his comrades. He had wounds to bear out his story, but it was not entirely believed, for his wounds may be no more than the marks of the wrath of some one from whom he had attempted to steal. INDIAN CRAFT. Dup! city is a marked trait of American as of so many other savages. I have spoken of their disregard of treaties, bat this is not the only manifestation of this quality. It shows itself in a great part of their economy. It is almost the sole basis of their warfare, the bow and arrow being used only after the way has been prepared by lulling the enemy to quiet with loud declarations of being‘‘peace Indian” and the like. Their mode of fighting consists of surprise and attack by overwhelming numbers. To one who has adrni red the Red Man with Cooper, *and read the thousand tales of his marvel lous heroism and carelessness of life which are extant, it is rather melancholy to find that there is nothing he takes such good care of as that same precious red skill. The happy hunting grounds are a very beauti ful idea considered from a poetical point of view, but it would be hard now-a-days to find the Indian who cares to visit them. That they have been sometimes noble in I forgiveness, and magnificent in confronting I. torture and death, is not to be doubted il I history Ims any truth. But those oecur- I rences were long ago, and one mark of the 1 Indian’s degradation is the indisputable I truth that for his main characteristics he is I now malicious, greedy, unthankful and 1 anxious only to make the Government sup | port him in idleness. His method of ac -1 complishing this desirable achievement is I a tomahawk system of browbeating. I BARBARITIES OF THE RED MEN. Some of the most noted instances of their barbarity have had their origin in the In dian’s idea that treachery is a fair weapon in war. Last year a young man, a mes senger on one of the great overland routes, was induced to make a treaty with a few Indians at one of the ranches or stations of the Stage Company. It was not in his place to make such treaties, hut at the urgent re quest of four or five savages, who said that they were 14 peace Indians,” and wanted to “ make treaty,” he wrote out the document. There were a few whites at the ranche, and the paper was signed by both parties. While this was going on, a number of Sioux came up and began <o hustle the whites. They kept increasing in numbers, and in rudeness to the little band, crowding close upon them, one of their most dangerous moves, for the superiority of our rifles and accuracy of aim gives the whites a great advantage at a distance, but in a close en counter the active Indian has at least an equal chance. Things began to look threat ening to the doomed men, and the young messenger was advised to hurry on; but as he turned to re-enter his coach he was shot twice in the back. The others immediately prepared for de fence. Three of them, including a negro, leaped into a buffalo wallpw. Buffaloes de light to wallow like pigs in sand or mud, and leave a depression in the earth seven or eight feet in diameter, and perhaps eigh teen inches deep. This slight protection was sufficient to enable the three to keep their foes at a distance for a long time. But at length the negro was struck on the head and stunned. Thinking him dead, one of the others threw him out and placed him on the edge of the wallow to serve as a bul wark. Then he thrust his loaded rifle un der the hollow of the -negro's- neck, and could take good aim, while he was himself protected from the. cloud of arrows. But at the report of his rifle, the seemingly dead man leaped high in the air, and with many au oath scrambled back into the hollow. He had been merely stunned, Just alter the fight commenced, a stage filled wi,th passengers from the West came np, and Joined their forces tp the imperiled whites, the Indians haying now been largely , rein forced frdm a bodyof warriors encamped among die hills hear by.

LASC, in order to keep their savage enemies well in view. This was not done in concert, and they were not in a position to support other, but each one took his stand as he as pressed by the Indians. Thus perched on the surrounded byyeUlngsavages, with arrows and bullets flying around them, each one fought till his sure aim donvinced his enemies that they moat? keep their distance, or until be suffered thadrean flil despair of seeing his ammunition fail. The latter misfortune befell Ambrose, a young “stock-tender” on the road. He had no rifle, but used his revolver with good effect so long as the cartridges held out. The next day more than forty empty cartridges were found on the spot. When it length the last shot bad been flred, the Indians rushed in and overmasted him. With two or three strong men grasping each limb, he had little chance of escape. The capture was made toward night and the victim taken toward the river. Some jarties of red skins were seen searching for juffalo “chips,” the dried dung of the buf falo, wbioh on the Plains has to serve for fuel in the absence of wood. With this a small fire wes made, a mere mass of glow ing coals, and the unfortunate man held on them. With diabolical cruelty, they did not permit death to step quickly in to relieve his sufferings, but after putting him through the most agonizing tortures, they would take him away and lay him on the glass, only to repeat their brutality in a few minutes. The beleaguered little party were com piled to lie helpless amid a thousand ndians and listen to the screams of their unhappy comrade. The Indians purposely bung around the fire and prevented their seeiug the wretched fate of poor Ambrose, but they could see and hear euougb to enable them to Judge only too well of the ex tent ofhis misfortune. t v oran hour Dr more they heard nis loud outcries, until at length all was still. They hoped and then believed that all was over, but in the morning found they had been sadly mistaken. Then when they visited the spot they found the misera ble man stark and cold indeed, but with his tongue cut out and impaled upon an arrow. They burled the poor manglea remains, and with sad hearts and ominous forebodings for their owu fate—so few beset by so mauy —they took up their way. They marched back and forth for several days, subsisting on bread made from a bag of flour they were fortunate enough to tind on the scene bf the first attack. They were watched and followed by their enemies for a long dis tance, frequently headed off and continually harassed, but finally succeeded in geUing through in sufety. One of the stopping places on the Smoky Hill rout is a rude shanty composed of a hole dug in a steep bauk and rooted with poles and turf. Tnthisdentwostoek-tenders live; near by are still ruder stables for the horses. To this place, forbidding enough, but capable of being defended from the Indians, the party carried an unfortunate young man only eighteen years of age who hud been stunned by a shot, and being thought dead by the savages had been scalped. His companions, too, thoughthim deau, and laying him down, ready for burial, went about” other occupations. Their sur prise may be imagined at hearing from the supposed candidate for the grave a string of decidedly energetic expressions, signify ing that the moment he was well enough Lie would start out in pursuit of Indians, and hunt them all his life. But when he recov ered he seemed to think better ot his deter mination, and consented to be carried back to the States. But he returned disfigured for life, aud bears around with him the mark of an experience which men in the Western country declare is a natural conse quence of the Government policy toward the Indians. All this occurred within a year. The horrors related above are not by any nuuins all that the Indians did, but are merely a specimen ofmanyother atrocities periorm ed only because they did not want the Smoky Hill route to be traveled. The peo ple of Denver have not forgotten the mangled bodies brought into their city, and the terrible vengeance that wasswornupon the Indians in consequence. A part of that revenge was administered by Col. Chiving ton at Sand Creek, but he did not complete it. All through the Western 'ierri tories the people would rejoice to have un Indian war inaugurated ot such proportions tbut they would be war ranted m taking the rifle in band and “cleaning out’’ the Indians from the Mis souri to tne mountains. A deep and furi ous indignation possesses the residents of the mountains. They have experienced too much ot the treachery ot the lndiaus to be willing to yield anything of the vengeance they nurture against them. I have’made this communication long enough, but in my next will endeavor to explain further some of the causes of this feeling among the determined mountain eers. C. The Twentieth Corps, All the officers of the late 20th Corps except Geary, (whocommanded the 2nd Division,) endorse and support the res toration policy of President Johnson. Gen. Slocum, its heroic commander, Gen. Williams, of the Ist Division, Gen. Ward, of the 3dDivision,andGen. Rousseau of the 4th Division, all declare that the war was not a failure, that the rebellion is suppressed, that peace reigns, and. that the Southern States are now within the Union. They all sign the call for the Soldiers’ Convention, to assemble at Cleveland on the 37th inst., to endorse the Presi dent. Geary, we repeat, is the only officer of the late 20th Corps now found in the disunion ranks; he is the only black sheep of the Corps. The 20th was a gallant Corp 9, and its commander the brave Slocum, was a most gallant man. What a shame itis that Geary, one of the officers, is now found in company with ; traitors like Stevens and Forney and their compeers in crime. Shame on you, John W.
