THE POPE AND THE GERMANS.
Ritter Antagonism.
A letter froiu Borne to the Vienna Pressc
'it must furnish every thoughtful individual
with food tbr Irave reflection to see how Ger
learning,,and especially Gennatfthe — olcigy;
‘i bleb is everywhere - else - so - highly - esteemed, -
is so-little appreciated in this_vatintesi capital
of Christianity. Not a single German Pro
testant work can - be proctired - from any Ronian
-bookseller, and-we even ask in vain for_ the
writings of the ablest and most learned
Catholic theologians - of Germany: As may be•
stippOied not a book is to be seen that has
been put into tlia Roman - Index. The Gerrdan
bookseller, Spithbver; keeps nothing but ultra
montane wares, and receives every one ungra
dously who inquires for any work of a
Gtierent class. Thus -the members, of the'
Council are entirely_unintinenced.byi_Germall
writers, and, as far, a.s__this 'is concerned, the
Jesuits could have proposed no more suitable
locality thati, Rome, The longer the Council
lasts the more easily will many German
bishops forget whatever_ theology they took
with them across the Alps. Many members
of the liberty minority feel most acutely this
deprivation of German. theological_ literature,
while examining—the -se_l4Pplata submitted to
them, and inquire eagerly-for Janim in Spit
liover's shop, where, however; they find only
liergenrother's Anti-Janus:. As to the works
of Dollinger or Froschhamrner, it would be
.n uch easier- to procure them in Australia.'
than in Rome.
The Pope makes no great secret of the little
store he seta by the Germans, nor does he con
ceal that thir - aeieegsion would - not be - unwel
come to him, because, as he expresses him
self, the church would thus be "purified." On
a recent occasion he spoke very frankly on
this subject-with - a - cardinal who directed ,his
attention to the movement that has begun in
Germany. The words of his , Holiness were :
Vier! Possono
a e aesa. ( •at o t? t hey may become
schismatics, and the church will be purified.)
THE INDIAN OETIMEALIE.
Raid on the Railroad and the Town of
Carson.
The Denver (Col.) Tribune says :
We are again compelled to announce the
horrid news of the breaking out of Indian
hostilities on the plains, eleven men having ,
been killed and scalped yesterday, •May 14th.
So far as we can now learn, the uprising was
as usual, well planned, and the blow struck
at a dozen points at once, about nine o'clock
in the morning, and extending from Kit Car
son to a point more than thirty miles west on
the railroad. One man was killed within two
miles of town, and all the stock driven ofithat
they could get, amounting to over tour hun
dred head.
We cannot learn that any one from Denver
was among the killed—but think not—most
of the victims being workmen on the road.
The only name we - got was that - of Mr. Dud
ley, Sr., engineer on the Kansas Pacific. His
body is now in General Palmer's office at Kit
Carson. A party of men went out from Kit
Carson in pursuit, but whether United States
cavalry or volunteers, we do not know. Three
or four Indians are reported to have been
seen to fall from their saddles in a brush they
had with them, but their bodies were carried
off:
The Denver coach left yesterday morning ,
but, after proceeding a few miles, discovered
so many Indians that it put back to Carson,
armed all the passengers, of whom there was
a full load, and started out again. It will be
in to-day. Great excitement exists in Carson,
as may well be expected, but we cannot learn
whether anything has been done to pursue the
savages.
From another letter,written by J. M. Myers;
and dated Beloit,.Mitchell county, May 11, we
take the following:
" I presume you will bear ere this reaches
you that the Lo family has given us a taste of
what we may expect this summer. They killed
three citizens on Limestone creek, at its junc
tion with the Solomon. There were four men
and a boy who had crossed the river to plant
corn. It so happened that,,for the first time,
they had locked, their door,leaving their arms,
ammunition and accoutrements inside ; there
fore they - were unarmed.
" It seems as though the Indians, or a part
of them, had gone in the house, broken open
the door, and taken their arms and ammuni
tion, which consisted of eleven guns and three
hundred rounds, then secreted themselves in
the brush at the crossing, while the other
party of red devils made their appearance on
the same side on which the men were at work.
The party, naturally started for their arms,
and while crossing three of the men were
killed; the remaining man and boy,swimming
down the river, escaped to tell the sad fate of
their comrades. Two of the men were killed
by arrows, the other by a ball. The Indittris
got but little stock."
The mouth of Limestone is in the neighbor
hood of seventy miles above Lindsey. Cap
tain Winsell, who has been in town for some
time in attendance upon tile — United - States --

below where thisemassacre occurred. He 're,.

Brigands.
A mail telegram from Florenee o 1 the 2d of
May reports as follows:
In to-clay's sitting of the Chamber of Depu
ties, Count Visconte Venola. in reply to an
interpellation, confirmed the news of the mur
der of the Italian Consul Bawres, and stated
that . the imputations on the Consul were
calumnies. The Minister consented to lay be
fore the House the papers referring to the
case, and also to the Greek tragedy at Mara
thon.
Signor Lanzi, in answer to a question, said
that brigandage in Calabria was no longer of
any imp . ortance. Tho few bands which still
existed in Sicily numbered only forty-five.
Count Arrivabene called the attention of the
House to an allegation made by Mr. Moans,
an English tourist, who fell into the hands of
Neapolitan briands near Salerno in 1864.. He
protested with Indignation against Mr. M °ens's
allegation that the Italian government had
connived at the outrage in question. = Signor
Lanzi replied that Mr. Moens 'bad been most
g il
vi
ungrateful in niakin such assertion, and,
stated that he had bee urgentli7,requakted at
the time by the British, , 'ulster, he. (Signor
Lanzi) being at that time Minister of the In
terior, to permit the, friends, of the captives
Moens and Murray to treat with iSrt4auds as
to ransom. Thegovernment, he added, treated
the matter rather from a hUmaue'point of
TIM than from that oclawful atitliority. -

PRACTICAL-WOMAN'S RIGHTS.
A Vernale Sheriff in lowa.
.
a
Here, now, is woman in authority who is
fully equal to 'her duties, albeit these same
duties are ofthe roughest character. The
Burlington Mita Eve tells about her :
Much interest has been excited by the
frnpa n elli ng of ajury of women in Wyoming
tr
Territory, and the appointan? t of females as
_nistaries_public i _amt-too civie_functions_
heretofore supposed to be i evocably reserved
to the masculine sex. It is reserved to lowa,
however, to produce the first female Sheriff,
and to Des Moines county to be the first in the
State to accord to woman the difficult and try
ing duties of the sheriffalty. It is true, the peo
ple have not formally elected a lady as Sheriff
of this county, but in so far as " practice is bet
ter than precept," the substance superior to
the shadow, and the " deed greater than the
name," to that extent Des Moines county has
had a lady sheriff, or at least a lady deputy
sheriff. Of course, we allude tp the estimable
wife of our worthy Sheriff, J. 121. batty, Esq.
Mrs. batty, at various times, had displayed re

receiving no response, entered in and detected
the cheat. Instead of calling for outside help
in an emergency which plainly indicated a
plot and a determination upon the part of one

quietly proceeded to the other cell, and
marched the prospective fugitive back to his

triumphed over muscle. Womanly , courage

The Rev. Mr. Cook is favorably knovin in this

School in-West Philadelphia. He felt called
to preach to the- Indians, .but as no field
opened, he established a successful church at
Cheyenne, "Wyoming. Territory, and ,then
came to help the 2,500 Yankton Sioux Indians
in their desire for Christian civilization, ,as
soon as the way was opened.„, Schoels, hospi
tals and other Christian institutions are needed
to prepare the way for the Gospel. Then its
influence is soon manifested. Preaching
without practical illustrations of the influence
of religion yields little permanent .benefit, as
the example of , the white or so-called Chris
tian race is far less Moral than that of the
home heathen. Since two tribes of the Sioux.

14, 1870—Wm. Welsh, Esq., Philadelphia, Pa.—
DEAR Nut : I left Cheyenne on the 25th ult.,
as I-proposed, and-reached-Brother-Hinman's,
at the Santee Mission, on Saturday of the same
week. I spent Sunday very pleasantly there, •

_them,_and.eien_hoes,_by_which_they_coulti.. ini

provided for them. The spring is fast passing
away, and another weary year will drag on,.
- witirits - hopes deferred; and---may- not even

,liave had
this spring. •
Brother Hinman-and ,I expected to come up
here on the 3d inst. but owing to the stbrwy
weather we did not start. On the 4th we
started and Walked several mires to a river
crossing, hoping the mist and rain would clear
off: -- But before - we had made our arrange-.
melds the wind had risen, and the waves
were running so high, it was impossible to
cross: so WO waited in -an Indian-house all
day, hoping the wind would go down. We
were obliged to return, art a •t patiently till

my sister at the Santee Missio , and Brother - '
Hinman; Dan. Graham .the Sa e lad, and 1.1
mine up, arriving safelyou afte oon of the
9th inst. The Mission 'building, - a e are sorry
to find, was not nearly so tar advanced as - we
had hoped. The builder has been very slow,
indeed. Since there is now one on the ground
to look atter matters, he seems to have set to
work iu earnest. I hope he will,in a week or
two, be out of the -way, -and -leave
it to the- carpenter to do the finish

it . Witt 111.1 _ _._l/o._
when it is finished, but it will take all summer
to get.. things arranged. In the meantime
Captain Broatch, the agent, has kindly offered
me a little log-house, where we can be very
comfortable.
I am exceedingly sorry that Capt. Broatch
ts going away, for he is really in earnest •in
Ins efforts to improve the condition of these
Indians, and is, I believe, strictly honest and
honorable in all his dealings with them and for
them. He believes they can be mace in a very
short time entirely independent of Govern
ment aid. He has about 200 acres Of wheat
sown, which is looking finely, all their old
cultivated land plowed for corn, and has
broken about 200 acres of new ground. He
feeds the Indians well, and there is no trouble
and no complaining. The new agent will be
here Bbortly, and I fear the change. Many, of
these Indians are anxious for work, but the
Captain informs me that he has not been able
to employ one-fifth of those who offered, and
probably there are a great many more who
would offer if they knew there was any chance
of getting employment.-- •
The Rev. Paul Mazatute, the sSantee Indian
missionary, is working away quietly, under
the great disadvantage of having no house,
except the unfinished chapel. The evening
we arrived he had his regular Monday even
ing meeting for practicing and learning hymns.
A - few boards-placed on nail-kegs formed the
seats, and a few candles, fastened by nails to
a stick and stuck in the chinks of the logs,
formed the bracket lamps to light the place.
More than half the space in the chapel is
tilled,with lumber-,benches, tools, &c. About
twenty-five Indians were present. We were
very much surprised at the facility,with which.
they caught the tunes, and the, really hearty
way in which they sang. The - Yanktons do
not seemto be so shy and timid as the &tu
tees ; for when Paul would ask them 'to sing
alone, to see if they had caught the tune, they
did so at once, and with a strong voice. On
Wednesday evening he has a meeting to prac
tice chanting, and last evening (Friday) for
prayer and exhortation. Both Paul and a
Yankton, Frank Saswe,' made addresses.
Paul baptized the child of the latter last Sun
day— the first fruits of the Yanktons.
' I am trying now to induce a lady;about Whom
I think I wrote you, to join the Mission.
She would be invaluable, and, if possible, we
must have some such lady here. AB soon as I
can - get a school started;or get doWn to regular
habits, I think I shall- gain the language rea

in great measure superseded.:
The trained legions of England are fighting,

guidance more subtle and more ruthless than
that of . military rule,. and from those, se

which are to subjngate and impoverish' us.
Her mines and factories are pitted against

our independence is at stake, and every. itidus- ,

This struggle is one which we cannot avoid,
and in which defeat must be fatal. The conti

able to develop all its capacities and to main'

of a._..nierely agricultural wealth and civilize.",

independence, except when they and their
country were too poor to excite cupidity.
