M. we reached Seneca, sixty miles from Atchison; we here partook of a most acceptable supper. Our preparations for passing the first night on the plains, were soon made, con sisting in wrapping ourselves in our blan kets, and in picking out a soft spot in the side of the coach, against which to recline, then trying to catch all the sleep possible, quite a difficult undertaking, as we soon found. Our first night was one long to be remem bered, and brought vividly to the recollec tion of those of the party who had been in the army, the discomfort then experienced. The jolting of the coach was sufficient to prevent sound sleep, but not enough to pre vent dozing, a happy mixture of sleep and wakefulness, more easily to be mentioned than deccribed. Near midnight when about to pass through "Indian Hollow," a dark and dis mal looking gully or ravine, the driver, somewhat alarmed at danger, real or im aginary, required one of the passengers to ride outside with him, for protection. This precaution was not afterwards neglected during our whole passage. Each in turn, performing this duty, not unwelcome how ever, as it afforded us opportunities to rest from the fatigue of ricling,constantly in one posture. At BA. M., the next morning we found ourselves at Rock Creek, 122 miles from Atchison, where we had breakfast, having passed in the night sortie five changing sta tions, at each of which our tired horses were exchanged for fresh ones. During the day, we saw some of the remain ingtraces of the Indian depredations commit ted the previous autumn; ruined ranches were scattered here and there along the road, and graves, on which the grass had but re cently grown, called aloud for retribution.: To persons living in the East, and safe from even the sight of an Indian, that word can bring no adequate idea of the amount of bloodshed and terror, which has been caused by these roamers of the plains. Inhabitants of cities who consider their neighbors dis tant when separated by a few feet, cannot I know of the dangers and difficulties which environ those living on the plains; of being miles away from help and assistance, ex posed nightly to attacks from a bloodthirsty race, who never leave a man alive behind them of retiring every night, not sure, bat heir it is last on earth; these are some of the dangers which are now encountered daily and hourly by those who only asli protection to make the West the garden spot of the Union. It has been the habit of many, recently, to decry the Warfare against the Indian as now conducted, to exclaim against its cruelties ; in short, to imagine the Indian of to-day to be as Cooper has drawn him, a "noble redman." If any such were exposed for but one night to an Indian attack, or see but one of the many desolated homes which now line the road, each of which could tell its tale of bloodshed and butchery, fewer. complaints would be uttered against the one instance of justice and well-merited retribution recently inflicted upon theln. Col. Chivington's mode of fighting with the Indians is the only one that will ever be crowned with success. Treaties to them mean intervals of repose for recruiting for other yet more deadly attacks; an idea that is to be sacredly kept is not by them for a moment entertained ; the white man is re garded as a proper object upon which to prey, and it will require one or two thorough defeatato convince the Indian that he is not the master of the situation. ' It may be stated that the Indian has been 'unjustly used—that he has been defrauded of his lands, and lastly that he was the attacked party. It takes but a residence of a short duration here, to find how false in imany particulars these statements are. It is a fact well known, and capable of proof, that upwards of one hundred and fifty white men Were murdered on the plains, before an Indian was hurt.

OVER THE i "PLAINS. [Correspondence of the Evening Brdletind SAND HILL, Nov. 25, 1865.-3fessrs. Edi tors.—At 8.30 on a clear, bright day we left (Atchison, seated in one of Holliday's coaches, drawn by four spirited horses, and at a rapid rate, struck out ,urion the plains, leaving behind us; for the present at least, !civilization. and its comforts. It was our misfortune to meet thus early on the route, probably one of the most profane and ill-tempered drivers on the' road. Overland passengers were, to him objects apparently . of contempt and to be 'noticed only by profanity. Before we had been many miles on the road we found to' be true what had previously been told us to wit, that the drivers, and not Mr. Holli day or his agents, run the route. Schedule time being to them of no importance ; their; own inclinations being all they consult, one even declared that if Ben Holliday himself were on the coach:l2e would drive as he pleased, the "pleased" being made empha tic by an oath. The first few minutes of our passage were passed in becoming settled into our seats, and in making the proper disposal of our blankets, rifles, and other paraphernalia necessary to comfort and safety. Our pas sengers were six in number, three of whom were old voyagers on the plains, and were consequently more accustomed to this mode of travel, than the others, who were fresh from the States, and tiad yet to make their novitiate trip. A stage coach is certainly a place pecu liarly fitted for forming acquaintances, at least so to communicative natures; one such was of our party, and we were soon, amid the joltings of the stage coach, made acquainted with his history, past, present, and, as he thought, future ; who he was, who his wife was, and even so far as to show us that lady's photograph ; what he did and what he proposed doing—in fact, an epitome of his life. This was interspersed with occasional anecdotes of how he had lost and how earned his money. A short account of the past state of the cattle market and of the present condition of the flour trade, filled up an instructive and, to us, amusing hour. For talking, this western man was cer tainly a match for two Yankees. We were now passing through a beautiful rolling country, the traveling being at timee,owing to the steep ascents and declivities. slow and tedious. At 4P.M. we passed the eastern bound coach, the passengers in which, for tunate beings, were within a few hours' ride of their destination. The road was reported clear of Indians, and after a few words, we were, with wish esi of a safe passage, once more in motion. OIIR WHOLE ICCAINTRY. ' on the plains. Ittiannot therefore be on the 'Score of want of food that the deadly war now preVailing 391413 - begnii. It cannot be for want of clothing, for by government aid the Indian was better clothed than at any other time in his history. The War has had its origin in no cause, has been characterized by the utmost cruelty on the Part of the savages, and merits and should receive a severe and decided punishment. Thepresent butcheries had their origin in the rebel capitol, and at the feet of: Jefferson Davis is to be laid the fruits of the seed so liberally sown by him. This number of the troops on the plains tire, as far as protection goss, worse ffian a meolte ry, being ' hardly sufficient to escort the cb. h, far less to provide for the safety of the numerous trams which travel that vast 'expanse of country. Every man is com pelled, as best he can , to protect himself, and the consequence is that the unprotected rancher is murdered with impunity, and hie wife and children carried into a cap tivity a thousand fold worse than death. There should be at least five thousand good troops on the plains, between Atchison and Denver, a number sufficiently large to be of some service. A few days since, the Indians to the number of several thousand crossed the 'Platte River, in open daylight and moved south, from whence after prepara tions for the winter, the warriors will return on the road and unless speedy aid be sent, every house on their path will be given up to defaruction the telegraphic communica- , tion between an Francisco and New York - will be broken, the stage line destroyed and several hundred lives exposed to jeopardy, nay, 1 almost certain death. This state of affairs is not an imaginary one, it is real— an affair of to-day, the calamity being not of the future but to be apprehended daily and hourly. The development of the im mense mineral wealth of the far west is of too much importance to the growth of our country to be paralyzed or even checked by the few thousand Indians, who now render a tliP across the plains in any other con veyance than the stage coach, an under taking fraught with danger. The freighting of Machinery, food and clothing is slow enoegh, when encountering only the ohsti cles of nature, to make those articles bring enormous prices here; what they would be worth in caseof a serious Indian war can only be imagined. The people on the plains and the citizens of Colorado, demand protection from the Indians. It is to the Government of the United Stet s, a power which they have thought to be s ciently strong to protect them, that the , appeal. The ask but protection against a most terrible death, all else they will do them selves. They have braved hardship, disease, coldi, exposure and theprivations of frontier life; these cannot deter them, but they ask, and justly too, that their lives be rendered safe, that they may not nightly tremble for their wives and little ones, and that every cloud of dust on the plains may not be the forerunner of bloodshed and death. The miners ask that every pound of food they eat, every article of clothing,work and every-piece -of machinery , brought to them, may not be trebled in price; that the couritryibe rendered safe to attract labor and! capital, in order that the arduous labors of years be not rendered useless and of no avail. Protection being given them, capital will most assuredly flow into this country, the ability of which to produce the precious metals has never been justly rated. Color ado could produce $50,000,000 a year more than she now does, and then not have one tenth of her gold leads worked. BY recent official statements, it seems it costs the Government half a million of dollars for every Indian killed in battle, and even after this vast expenditure the country is far from safe. A change must be made in the mode of warfare; we must have fewer treaties and more fighting. The Indian must not be looked upon as an injured being, but simply as what he is, a savage and one not to be trifled with. The blood of murdered hundreds calls for justice, and until it be given and the Indians sue for peace and be sufficiently whipped to compel them to keep it, the marvellous stores of wealth hidden in the veins of the Rocky Mountains will be a sealed treasure to civilization and our conntly. The amount of metallic wealth, estimating only the gold and silver, that could be mined here is immense. The great yearly product of California, large as it was and 'yet is, is a trifle in comparison to the untold millions buried in the great mining territories of the west, the great treasure house of the Ame rican Republic, and the coffers from which liberal drafts can be drawn for countless ages yet to come, At 9.30 on the third morning out we reached Fort Kearney, 253 miles from At chison, at this point we were furnished with an escort of cavalry, who rode in front of the coach, and whose duty it was, in case of an attack to protect, with the assistance of the passengers the lives of all. During the day we journeyed over a beau tifufroad, at times, as hard and level as the best turnpike, bordered on one side by the River Platte, and on the other, at a distance of a few miles, by the bluffs. The earth was barpeted with buffalo grass, dried into most excellent hay by the heat of the sun, furnishing abundant food for the vast herds of buffalo which here roam at will. At!some future day, this country will be one Of the largest cattle grazing sections of otir country, stock being able to remain out all winter, requiring no food, other than that provided by nature. This night was passed much the same as its predecessors, having become, however, more accustomed to the motion of the coach we obtained a trifle, more sleep. At 10 A. M. the following morning we saw the first hostile Indians on the route; they were distant some six miles back in the bluff's, and by the aid of the glass could be distinctly seen, mounted on their ponies. They were, without doubt, but the scouts of a larger number, hidden from view, wait ing for some train to pass by upon which to alight with the rapidity of the tiger and cer tainly with as much mercy. At 3.30 P. M., reached "Alkali," 404 miles from Atchison, a point around and near which most of the Indian depredations of last winter were committed, the visible ef fects of 'which were still apparent. Night soon closed around us and twilight found us at Sand Hill, 237 miles from Denver. Your correspondent now turned his attention to securing a little more sleep than usual, con sequently he was not able to describe the country. The next letter will finish the journey across the plains and bring us to Denver, the pioneer city and capital of Colorado.

Herald.] About two o'clock yesterday morning Mr. Henry Sanford, connected with Adams' Express Company, accompanied by officer Rogers, of the Eleventh Precinct, proceeded to the residence of Justice Shandley, No. 167 Henry street, and called him out of bed. During a conversation with the magistrate Mr. Sanford stated that he had received Information to the effect that alargeamount , of the money stolen from the Express (tom pany's safes on the Boston train, on Satur day night, was secreted in the house ofjohn 8. - Barmore, No. 100 Division efreet. The Judge accordingly dressed himself, and, at that unseasonable hour, proceeded . toi the Essex Market Court and took Mr. Sanford's affidavit. The latter deposed that on the night of the 6th instant the following property, belonging to the Ex press Company, was stolen in the State of Connecticut: $40,000 in gold coin; $50,000 in United States bonds and certificates , of in debtedness; $150,000 in national bank and Treasury notes, and gold watches and chains and other jewelry to the value of $5,000. On this affidavit the Judge issued a search warrant, and accompanied Mr. San ford and officer Rogers to Barmore's hoiuse, which they searched, and found concealed therein ~%'75 in gold coin, $30,000 in seven thirty bonds, $77,650 in unsigned national bank notes, $5,457 in national bank notes, signed, and gold bills valued at V.Bo— in all to $113,762. The money was taken in charge, and Barmore arrested by officer Rogers. Barmore was yesterday taken before Justice Shand ley and committed for examination. From the information at hand it appears that Gus Tristam, as he is familiarly called, who is no stranger to our most experienced officers, has been arrested at Norwalk, Conn., as being a principal in the express robbery. He is a brother of Mrs. Barmore, in whose house, in Division street, the money was found. On reaching Norwalk, after the robbery, Gus Tristam employed his cousin, Tristam, to take charge of a bag of money, and see it safely deposited in the house of his (Gus) sister, No. 100 Division street. For this service Tristam received twenty-five dollars, and on returning to Norwalk was arrested. He was then in duced to make a confession, and told who had employed him to bring Ihe money to New York, and what remuneration he received for doing so. Thomas Clark, also well known to the police, was likewise ar rested in Norwalk, and all the parties are in prison awaiting an examination. Since the robbery occurred Capt.

ARREST OF TWO OF THE SUPPOSED ROBBERS IN NORWALK. [Prom ale New Raven Journal, Jan, 10.1 Yesterday afternoon Assistant Superin tendent Spooner, of Bridgeport, accom plrrnied by S. B. Beardsley, Esq., and Sheriff Barnum, of the same place, proceeded to Norwalk and arrested two men on suspi cion of being engaged in the robbery of the express safes the on Saturday night train, and found on examination, after the arrest, that they had got the right fellows. The manner in which the arrest came about is as follows: On Saturday evening three men called at the hotel at Stamford, and regis tered their names, two of them as Lock wood, and the other as Clark. Their action towards each other at first, so far as observed was that of strangers, and no one supposed thdt they were acquaintances. They had been there but a short time when one of them desired to hire a conveyance to go to Norwalk, but he did not wish to have a driver accompany him, saying that he was going to take some lathes, and there would not be room. Being a stranger, the livery man would not let the fellow have the con veyance unless he sent a driver with it, not withstanding he was offered ten dollars for it. After the failure to hire a conveyance, the fellows were then seen for the first time to hold a conversation with each other. They remained all night at Stamford, and the next morning took , the train and went to Norwalk. While at Stamford their pre sence and appearance was such as to excite the remark from citizens that they "wouldn't wonder if these fellows were the ones that robbed the express." On arriving in Norwalk they hired a conveyance and went upon the hill back of the village to an old shoemaker's named Tristam, who is an uncle of Clark's. Here they stopped over night, and returned to the vil lage the next day (Monday). On Monday morning the old man Tristam came down with a bundle which appeared to be pretty heavy, and which he refused to have checkedi and was also scrupulously careful to keep in his hands all the while on his way to New York, where he took it. In Norwalk also the appearance of the three fellows was such as to excite suspicion. Their presence at Norwalk and the suspi cions connected with them coming to the ears of Superintendent Spooner yesterday,he went over, with the three gentlemen named above, and reconnoitered a little, and then bad the two fellows arrested as related. Clark, in the meantime, had absented him self and escaped arrest, He was formerly a substitute broker, and a nephew of Tristam, who bad heretofore:been supposed to be a perfectly upright man. On the per sons of the two men were found a gold watch, some money, • and a few other articles which were in the safe at the time they were robbed, so that their identification is complete. The two men who were arrested havethe appearance of being Englishmen. They were put in the lockup at Norwalk, and will be brought over to Bridgeport this morning and put in jail for safe keeping. The old man Tristam went with Mr. Spooner yesterday afternoon to New York, to show him what he had done with the bundle, and to *inform him With whom he left it, so that there is a fair probability that some treasure will be re covered, and it also seems most probable that Clark will soon be secured. The bundle which Trbtam took to New York, from its apparent weight, is supposed to have con tamed some of the gold. No further information concerning this remarkable affair has reached us, but We hope in a few days to be able to lay before our readers some particulars as to how the robbery was effected, and where the' obbers entered and left;the train, with other items of interest.

Tribune.] Yesterday, Mr. Henry A. Cram, of No. 2S Irving place, the counsel forthe prosecution in the late celebratea Strong Divorce case, appeared before Justice Hogan at the Tombs, and preferred a complaint against John Austin Stevens, Jr., a brother of Mrs. Strong, whom he accuses as threatening him with violence. The complain Ant states that on the 6th inst., while on his way to the Surrogate's Court, he was accosted by Ste vens, who said to him: "In your opening speech (meaning the complainant's opening speech to the jury in the month of November last in the di vorce suit of Strong vs. Strong, recently tried in the Supreme Court of this city) you. stated that I was deficient in manly quali ties. I have come to ask that you , retract that statement. The complainant refused to make any retraction, and Stevens then asked him if he was prepared to take the consequences of such krefusat Tile com plainant replied that he was-prepared for everything. rejoined, 'Without taking any Stevenslawyer's advantages?" The complainant replied that he would take adl vantage of no one, and the interview then. terminated. On the same day the complainant received the following letter: SATURDAY, Jan. 6-3 P. M. —Sir When I called upon you in person, this morning, to retract the aspersions cast on my manly qualities made by you in your opening speech in the divorce suit of Mr. Strong, you stated you would answer me later, I will ask you again to withdraw the offensive remarks. I am, your opedient servant, JOHN AUSTIN STEVENS, JR. Henry A. Cram, Esq. On the Bth inst., Mr. Cram sent the fol— lowing reply: JANE:AIIy B,lB66.—Sir—l take the trouble of answering your letter solely because of the misstatement it contains. I did not, in the personal interview in which you asked me to retract what you call the "aspersions on your manly qualities in my opening speech in the divorce suit of Mr. Strong," tell you "I would consider you later." On the contrary, I refused to comply with your request. The statements which, in the per formance of my duty as an advocate,l made, I believed were, and I still believe are, sus ceptible of proof, and, ofcourse, I shall not retract them. This letter will dose all cor respondence on my part with you. Yours, etc., HENRY A. CRAM. JOHN AUSTIN STEV Jr. . The same day the following letter was re ceived by Mr. Cram: No. 43 WILLIAM ST. NEW YORK, Jan. 8, 1866,3 P. M. —Sir;-- I give you notice that un less I hear from you to-morrow (Tuesday,9th inst.,) by 3 o'clock, withdrawing the offen sive remark I referred to in my note of Saturday, or giving me proper redress I shall take my own remedy. Your obedient servant, Aniarm STEVENS, JR., HENRY A. CRAM, ESQ. Believing that the last sentence contained in the foregoing letter was meant as a direct threat, the complainant applied to the above magistrate for a warrant for the arrest of Stevens, and on this statement of facts, one was granted. Late in the day Mr. Stevens was arrested by Officer Ferguson of the Court Squad, and on his promise to appear to-day and give bonds for his future good behaviour, was allowed to depart. CITY BULLETIN. Jo URNET MEN HO I - SE P A.DTEBS. —This morning the annual convention of the House Painters of the 'United States com menced its sessions at the hall of the Trade's Assembly, Eighth and Walnut streets. Delegates were present from New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, District of Columbia, Maryland, Louisiana, Tennessee, Illinois and Wisconsin. Thomas E. Wilson, of Philadelphia, was chosen President, and Wm. E. Fitzgerald, Missouri, Secretary. During the setting of the Convention the Constitution will be amended, local Unions established, and other business in connec tion with the trade will be transacted. It is expected that the Convention will be in session several days. NEW CHURCH EDEFICE.—In our rambles through the northern part of the city, we observed a very neat and commodious church in course of erection, fronting on Oxford street, between Broad and Cadbury' street. We are informed that it is to be oc cupied by a Presbyterian congregation. The building is of brown stone, slate roof, and approaches to the Gothic style of archi tecture. Due regard has been paid to strength and durability, as well as to con venience in the internal arrangements. It is a source of saticfaction and just pride, to know that, with the rapid extension of our city, there is a proportionate addition of churches. NEW Smoot HOUSE,—OE Ninth street, above Montgomery avenue the foundation of a new school-house is laid. We did not obtain the dimensions, but the size is suffi cient for the wants of the locality for many years to come. The school-house as well as the church is the intsllectua, and moral thermometer of every community,and both, in this enlightened age, are considered as essential to human happiness. New Jersey Matters. HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—Another bold high way robbery was perpetrated in Camden last night. As a man named Painter was passing along Bridge avenue, near Front street, he observed a man and a woman coming towards him, and at the moment he met them the woman inflicted a heavy blow upon his head which felled him to the ground. The man then jumped upon and held him while the woman rifled his pockets. They succeeded in taking from him a pocket book containing about thirty dollars; but that was not the bulk of the money he had in his possession, which was kept in his vest side-pockets. The villains as soon as they got his pocket-book,fled, and no traces of them have been discovered. Mr. Painter's face was badly cut, and he thinks the per son who struck him with the billy was man in woman's clothing. Mayor Bndd will investigate the matter. GEOLOGICAL.—The commissioners ap pointed to conduct the . State Geo'ogling. Survey, of which Hon. A. X. Hay, of Cam den county, is President, held a meeting recently, at which it was asserted that the survey will be completed previous to 1868, the'time specified by law for accomplishing It.
