FORT L.Ar.A.mtE, July 3.— IL has been ascer tained beyond dispute that the Apahoe In clians,tvho, for some time, have been Jed by the Government at Port Ibilleck as friendly Indians, have been perpetrating most of the outrage; committed on the overland mail route west of Denver. Having discovered by some means that they , PIPTe suspected, they have 310. c taken the war- Path openly anti defiantly. Our troops are in pursuit. There are 110 friendly Indians east or north of Denver and Camp Collins, neither can any peace be extended until they are se verely punished. The successes they have met with the past year have made them ex ceedingly General Connor's three columns are prepar ing to march against them, hut want supplies, which are on the way from the Missouri river_ General Connor arrived here 10-day, and will take the field himself. The manner in which emigrant trains are organized renders that anode of travelling perfectly safe.

To these loyal Whites belongs the task ofsettling this question in the revision of theirsevera! State cons:Motions, or in the initial measures of their new State Le gislatures. Now, looking simply at the local, Social, and industrial interests, and at the na tional political interests of the Southern States, it appears as plain to us as that tWO and two make four, that it is the true policy of said States to concede the principle of negro suf frage in flail: work of State reorganization lthat,vnr mg ,lie , e the limitations prescribed. ' It is clearly the interest of the late rebel States to get back into Comottits as soon as pw.- Bible but there is great danger of their exclu sion from both Bosses for at least two years to come. upon this question of negro sinfragC, and they may possibly fare no better in the next succeeding Congress, if they persist in the total exclusion of the black race from the ballot-box. The disorganized Southern States may thus continue to lie governed practically by a radical Northern majority in Congress as refractory Territories, anti to their serious prejudice in every way, l'or an indefinite tune 10 come. On the other hand, by Conceding the prim ciple of negro suffrage, in addition to the Pre sident's, requisitions, the readmission of every State now excluded trout Congress is secured. The principle iii question may be conceded without numb difficulty. We believe that - under the proem law of suffrage in Massa chusetts and Connecticut, all mule citizens. Of ell colors, over twenty-one years of age., who can read and write, are admitted to the ballot-box. Suppose South Carolina should adopt this law, would Silluaehmmtts or Co»necticut have any right to ob. jectt To be sure, the great mass of the South Carolina blacks would be thus excluded for a time but under this regulation a.wade field would be opened for enterprising Yankee schoolmasters. Rut the great point - 1s this: that "human rights, ,, ati granted in Massachu setts, at the ballot-bo::, will carry South Caro ling, by the aid of MassachnselsS votes,back agam into both Houses of Congress, twit_ every Other Southern State concerned. Let the re- Sponsffile loyal white vOters of those States bear it in mind that slavery and slave codes are abolished; that their negroes are free., and that if they are not made the political allies of the Southern whites they will be used by their Northern political enemies. Let these things be remembered, we say, and the preju dices of race and caste, in this broad political view of the subject, will not be allowed to stand in the war' of the restoration of the late rebel States to congress.

I rely, however, upon the volcanic state of Eu rope to present other objects for her :MILS mid her apprehensions, and am not without hope that we shall be permitted to proceed puttee, slily in rearing ourchildren, and maturing and moulding our strength and resources. It is im possible that Prance should rest under hea present oppression and humiliation i she will rise in gigantic strength, which cannot be an nihilated, and will fatten her Bolds with the blood of her enemies. I only . wish she may ex ercise patience, until divisions among them may give her choice of sides. To the over whehning power of Engand I see but two chances of limit. The first is her bankruptcy, which will deprive her of the golden instru ment of all her successes. The other is that -ascendancy which nature destines for us by immutable laws. But to hasten this last con summation We LOO must exercise patience and forbearance. For twenty years to conic we should con sider peace as the minimum beaten; of our Country. At the end of that period WC shall be twenty millions in number, and forty ill energ,y, when encountering the starved and Thiketty paupers and dwarfs of Englishwork ehOps. By that time 1 hope your grandson will have become one of our high admi ralst and bear a distinguished part in re torting the wrongs of - both his countries on the most impfacaine and cruel of her enemies. In this hope, and because I love you, and all who are dear to you, I wrote to the President on the instant of reading your latter' or the 7th, on the sulljeet of his adoption into our navy. I did it bemuse I was gratified in doing it, whilg I knew it was unnecessary.

At Brown street the centime: or cried out, " Change ears for Richmond," hut nomore cart run up there t o-night. We retained Our seat, and alighted at the corner of Third street and Girard ay enne. THE. SCENE OF THE SLAUGHTER Seeing a house with open door and lighted gas, we stepped up and found a female at the door, and accosted her with, "Madame, have yon heard of any difficulty about here to n ight 1" She replied, " I managed to hear that myhus band is killed P' " Alt ! - where is the hodyt" The reply was, "Just over there at GerIllf:11- town road."

The building is located at the northwest corner of Girard' avenue and GermantOWn road, and WC entered on the ibrider thoroughfare, reaching the dwelling part of .the tavern. Out eye fell upon SOMC One lying upon .ft settee, the head being. Close to the door, and at iirst glance we thought it was a WOnlan and passed on to 't sort of summer hilelum, and there lay the b o dy of Joseph Sides, aged twenty-four years. A poi ieeinan referred us to a female present for particulars or no ot,t - nrrollec, and We as certained that Limo i Sides was the wife of the deceased, but be did not live ii her. She resided at .'No. 1170 North Third street, be low - avenue, (and was the woman ire-first . accosted.) " Yesterday afternoon,” continued Our narrator, 'Entina Sides; the - wife :. of Jo, together with Jo,- Mary nifty, a girl - alio is named - Annie, and a young Mail, Went out riding,.

Obtaining the ages, as we Bare before given our readers, we went back to MO Girard avenue, the scene of murder and. ENTERED TEE BUILDING The female had vainosed the rancho, and in her place was three male,. A fat, jolly-looking boy replied. to our inquiry as to - where the SCCrIC OCCUrred, PEA there, sport ; who are you?" "A reporter of Forney's _Press," was the response. "Oh!

We now left this place of misery and went to the OLD NORTHERN LIBF.P.TIES' HALL Lientenant Irinks met us here, and we were shown a finc-looking girl; With both of her eyes blackened.

As the sun set, in a golden sky, "Young Ame rica." took up firearms, and in different sec tions of the city, the reports of pistols foul shot-galls were heard in es - cry direction. Pin-wheels and grasshoppers and Chilletil) erftekers blazed lively in the streets; the time laid arrived when people could smell the Fonrth. Of COIIIW., this celebration was simply preliminary to the grand outburst of pyrotechnics that will take place this evening. Among the most interesting places, that at tracted much attention, were the Ledger once and the .1.7,,,ning Tel wrap') , both of them being ifiriminnted. The Ledge?* was all gas ? in the shnpc of stars, mottoes, and globes. The rde graph was all canvas, 1111011 Whiell was a repre sentation of the capture of Richmond; Presi dent Lincoln is represented as riding on an Arabian thoronghbred. THE PligSS OflieC was also illuminated for a short time, but modesty will not permit a further remark - than that the Seale looked ,--eny irelt, WIIS decidedly attrite tiVe and interesting. The elal)orate gas ar rangem cot at the Union League HOMO was rot to it s test, and the appearance was really splendid, Independence Hall was in a blaze of patri otic glory at the midnight hour,and the work men, as well as Charles Piney, the live Com missioner of City Property, were very well satisfied. The streets were crowded, and everybody seemed to be in the best humor. All individu als appeared to be determined to enjoy _them selves in the most rational manner incident to the season. There will be a 'variety of celebrations to day. The Independence Hose. and Engine Company will indulge in the annual celebra tion of its own organization. The 1 T.,cigue will show its respect for tbe day at the Academy of Music, where there will be an oration ann music, and other appro priate ceremonies.- The Union League of the Nineteenth ward kill celebrate the day in a pleasant style. peel:trail= Will be read, and specelies delivered.

He walked out of the second-story window, climbeda broken balustriule, imagining it the right ivay to get to the street, and thus met with his unexpect ed descent. The appearance:of some of the honses—the one in question, for instanee—in Harmony court, is e strange eyklenco of "city eOn tracts." Mtsery and squalor within half a square of the splendor and wealth of Chestnut street!

IMPORTANT TO RAILROAD COMPANIES:— Mr. llough, of Buckingham, Bucks county, Pa., has ;lust perfected a very useful and eco nomical invention. It is a patent connecting* brake, a perfect safeguard by which the engi neer, when be draws a simple lever at his side operates on apnrCiltthe wheel attached to the leverage of his engine, and brakes any . num ber of cars, stopping the train almost imme diately, no matter what the direction of its motion. There is an uniform pressure of the brakes, and no surging of the cars prevents their operation. The train can likewise be stopped by a hand-wheel at either end of the tram controlling the brakes. The brake-shoes by a screw contrivance are worn little by use, and the connecting chain is always perfectly tight and reliable—readv at any MOVitrit to act on the brakes. 'The model Is now exhibiting at Fourth and Coates streets, and should at tract tile attention of every railroad company.

RETURNING VETERA.NS.—Chestnut street was enlivened yesterday morning by the ap pearance of the old 59th Regiment P. Them gallant Comae], Edward R. BUes, was at the head of his command, and an elegant band preceded the veterans, discouring delightful music. This regiment was eriginally com manded by Colonel Remain ',wane. Since Colonel Blies has led the boys they have had plenty of hard lighting to do, and their brave commander has frequently been wounded. Upon several occasions the tanks have been filled up by recruits. Their flag bears the names of the battles theyhave passed through, and well may they be proud of it. Colonel entered the army at the outbreak of the rebellion, as fillintant of the Scott Ectilon, and to him they were indebted for the high state of discipline they attained. The 88th Pennsylvania originally command ed by Colonel Cleo. P. McLean, also passed up Chest nut street under the command of Colonel Wagner. This regiment has also done good service in many a well-contested field.

'Bradford, preahlent of the, Plittadalphia and Trenton Railroad Company, opposed the extension.

The application to exterd the Fairmount and itestonville passenger railway along Arch street from Front to Second was partially con sidered and postponed. The board ordered the construction of vari ens culverts of minor importance, and then adjourned. “TilE DOCTOR.“—A yew days ago we received a bottle of respectable size, but by no means so robust and rotund as the original, entitled "The Doetor : ” containing a dark-corn plexieued liduid, chiefly composed of spices and medhunal roots, which is a good, well-tia, vomit tonic, and warranted, when _propOrtion• ably blended with waterjo check, and oven to prevent the stomaeh complaints which aro frequent, at this season, among senior, middle aged and young persons. It is prepared by Air. James Jones, South 'Third street, (at the old Sea °Mee, south of the Girard Bank,) and we understand, does not contain any alcohol: It is a safe and pleasant tonic, and; we should say, will be valuable, especially where women and children constitute a portion of the party, on manner tours in the cauntry, and on trips or visits to the sea-side. HORSE KILLED—Niunow ESCAPE. — Three young men wore driving along Fourth street, above George, on Sandav afternoon, awl upon attempting to turn suddenly out of the track they all slipped to one side of the wagon, and the horse being blind, bolted towards a house, striking his head with such force as to break his neck. Several little children, sitting on the step of the house, were seized by a gentle man, who saved them quickly getting into an entry. One of the men was thrown out of the wagon, and the wheels passing over his neck, caused blood to flow from his nostrils and mouth. lle was quickly taken away, and Ids wane not learned. The driver, named James Hagerty, was fined for drunkenness, there be ing no one to Prefer any other charge against I=3 r iffECEE3 FEBRUARY SUGGESTION OF FRIENDS.----A.lllllllber Of gentlentell, who have their familiCS residing in the country during the heated SCaSOn, and have made arrangements to spend the Fourth with them, have suggested that the displays upon the public tal il dings be kept up during the nights of rith and 6th, so that they caul hosts of other persons may visit our city and see them. The crowd trill. no doubt, be very dense on the evening of the Fourth, and many persons will not venture out to ace the display. If the suggestion is carried out, a large number Of persons will be attracted to the city, and in the end a fair remuneration will be had, as none will visit us without expending money, and that of emlne benefits every one.

Tryon a detective officer, cud he has been qualified as such. In 18474 Mr. Tryon served under Mayor Conrad, and during the term of Mayor Vaux he was a special constable. Having served under Mayor Henry since he has been in office with marked fidelity, and displayed consider able skill, be was selected for the important °Alec he now fills. - On Sunday night, a man named JAS. Lynch pulled off his boots on the pavement of a house at Twenty-first and Pine streets, and Proceeded. to take a nap on the steps of the residence. Offfeer Marshal, not fancying this manner of creating a lodging,-place in his beat, took Lynch to the station-house, where it was discovered he had three thousand dollars ,in bash and five thousand dollars in five-twenty bonds upon his person. In the morning,qyfr. Lynch expressed great indignation at being locked up, and said he could take care of his money. If some of the Schuylkill Rangers of the neighborhood had known of the where abouts of Mr. Lynch, they would not only have shown him he could not take care of his mo ney, nor perhaps his life. DT A BAD CONDITION. The station-house at Southwark Hall has been in a bad condition for some time. The proper authorities took up the bricks of the Pavement with a view of fixing up the place, but, for some cause, the work was suddenly abandoned, and now the rains render the place au intolerable nuisance. YOUNG Mary Smith, a young lass of sixteen, eOneeir„ , ing that her wearing apparel was not such as she was entitled to, in these days of extreme fashion visited Fairmount Park, on Sunday, and quietly appropriated a silk mantilla and jockey hat, valued at twenty dollars. One of the Park police took Mary before Alderman Massey, who, while admiring her taste in the millinery, still thought her a very naughty girl, and sent her to prison. BURGLARS IR THE RURAL DISTRICTS. The citizens of Germantown arc now infested with burglars. The store of H. S. Bowen, at Alain street and Chelton avenue, was entered Friday night, and robbed Of goods and money valued at $lOO. The next night the office of the Germantown Water Company was entered and robbed of a pistol, SHOWER OF GREENBACKS Persons in the vicinity of Sixth and Chest nut streets were startled yesterday, at a num ber of greenbacks flying about in the air. Ever,- one rushed for them as they neared terra firma, and fifties, fives, and tens were grabbed up with avidity. A discharged - sol dier seemed to have a leading interest in the wilair, and said he had the money in .a paper, and, on opening it, a puff of wind blew it all away—ss76 iu amount. Reserves Finlay and Hess went into the. crowd, and succeeded in getting all the money but thirteen dollars. Sonic persons who got the soldier's money gave it up very reluctantly ; but, as it was lar ceny under the law to retain it, a threat of arrest brought it forward. Strange, people would want the hard earnings of a soldier But such is human nature, sometimes. POLICE STATISTICS.

It is entirely different, of course, from the gar rote used in Philadelphia, and other large cities. The modern method of garroting citi zens on the highway, at night time, is done by sneak thieves, This method of robbing was epidemical in Europe e. few years since; it iS now an epidemic in New York, and it has - been introduced into Philadelphia. It is certainly not to increase the public alarm that this ar ticle is written; but simply to apprise people what has been gleaned by the writer from various sources, which have had for authori. ty the words of the criminals themselves; and for the benefit of honest men, of the most successful and approved method of the garrote. Now, first, let, it be remembered that "to fear the plague is to be half dead of it," and,by the time a gang of skilful opera tors have intimidated a whole, city", their ex ample is one to he imitated by other • rogues more dangerous - even than the original prac titioner. 'Phis fact it eVidellt already from the rise and progress of the garrote vstem of robbery. Garroters usually consort in compa nies of three, which are denominated ii "front stall," a "back stall," and a "nasty man." The "nasty man" is the actual operator, and his part calls for greater skill and exertion. IN takes a larger share of plunder. They ge nerally select a promising victim, one who is known to carry large stakes around with Min, and then, watching his comings and goings, place themselves on the route Which Ile is at• customed to take at night, to await their op portunity. Time and place they settlebefore hand 1 but they never force an opportunity. They prefer to wait until a suitable occasion presents itself. The " front stall " goes a few yards in advance of the victt in to see that all clear in his direction. The "back stall" collies farther behind, but always at the vic tim's side. In the rear walks the nastyman," approaching nearer and nearer, with steps Wilieh keep pane with those of his prey. The for ward ruffian lifts his hat as a signal that all is right beyond ; the second stall makes no signs to the contrary • and then the third ruffian, coming up swiftly from behind, throws his right arm around his victim, striking him a sharp blow on the forehead. Almost instinc tively he throws his head back, and in that movement loses every chance of escape. His throat is offered to his assailant, who instant ly embraces it with his left arm, the bone of the former being pressed tightly across the apple of the throat. At the same time, the garroter SeiZet With his right arm the victim's left, which acts as a powerful lever. The "nasty man's" part is performed. No Titan can withstand that-pressure upon MS throat, and he sinks into stifled insensibility. Memo while the stalls are busy. They quickly search their victim, and appropylate everything of value which he has about his person. leis then laid on the pavement, lest a mere fall should arouse him ; and his plunderers, darting off into a dark street, or narrow alloy, quickly make their escape. There is no possibility of the victim over recognizing the ruffians who have robbed him; for the "nasty man," if he has acted his part well, has placed him beyond consciousness before the "stalls" approach him from in front. Tiiis tllO mans loperatidi et the garroter pt•oper, who has terrified so many cities by tho dread of his presence. A nut individual, while walking along the sireet, will place himself on his guard, when la , secs a man pass hint, and another one approacidag from behind walks by his side. The garroters, it must beremembered, take their time. The position of parties may be rela tively the P.'llllo for several squares. Even a little talk May take place between the in ter-led v ictim and the designing individual alongs id e o f taunt ;• but no overt act is committed nahl the advance man gives the signal, such a s raising the hat, stumbling, very-er s Onl , if o li s iV e o e lZ l ! e p g e t i t .s ri o *O u t l e v r a a l fg , e ig a almost ovements indi cated as above, strict at , 111.li 0Zait hemtter - whore, should he the o u gibt to stop short and pre. sent a revolver at the head or breast of the man walking alongside of him, and exclaim, a what do you want 1" if he equivocates ' call the police. Should 110 nat i ce au attack', shoot him, to wound him, if possiLde. If the advance man comes running back, keep him at bay with your revolver ;if the nasty" man ap proaches, keep Min at bay also. It is perfectly legal to use lire-arms, when a traveller believes his life to be in danger. An idea is entertained by the best detectives of this city, that the P arroting of citizens for purpose of robbery, is likely to become an epidemic in Philadel phia. The citizens should therefore be on their guard. Court of Quarter Sessions—lron. Jos. Allison, Associate Justice. STEALING A GOSLING. Eliza ilrftWiey WnS eliar li , With the larceny of a gosling, the properfy of Mrs. Gregory. The latter testified that she saw defendant pick rip the gosling, which was one of a flock, and slip it under her dress; Mrs. Gregory im mediately hurried to the scene, and claimed her property; Mrs. it., using some not very polite epithets, swore that it was not hers, and that she should not have it; Mrs. Gregory then made a grasp for the biped, and, in the struggle between the two for its possession, the unfortunate bird was sacrificed—it was tole apart, Mrs. Gregory retaining, possession of the head, and Mrs. II of the body. The jury .believed that the defendant had Unlawful pos- Session of the property, and was "felonious ly" earrvin ,, it away, amUtlierefore, rendered a verdict, oeguilty. Sentence deferred. Eli Pyle and Eli Pyle, .Ir., were charged with malicious mischief—the first named in poisoning the geese and big chickens, and the latter with killing the, small chickens, of his next door neighbor, Higgins, in Oxford street, between Twelfth and Thirteenth. The evi dence was that Pyle, Sr., wasacen at an early hour in the morning to empty slops into his neighbor's yard, and that in a few minutes thereafter, the chickens and geese, havin catch thereof died. It was also shown that the youngerl l yie—ft little boy, eight or nine years old—amused himself by catching and squeezing the little chickens to death. The jury convicted the father, but acquitted the son. Sentence deferred. ASSAULT AND BATTERY MrITHINTENT TO RILL Edwin J. - Warrington and James Marshall were charged with assault and battery upon., and with intent to kill, William Furman, and lie, upon a cross bill, was charged with a like, assault, with intent to kill them. It was in evidence that Marshall, on the 21st of may last, struck Furman on the head with a billy, and that, or almost the same instant, Warrington shot Furman' with a pistol,_ the ball taking effect about the head. Those facts were not denied; but, in justification, War rington and Marshall proved that Furman had made repeated and public threats. that he would take their lives ; that in Juno, 1514, he had shot, one of them (Warrington) in his own house, where he was quietly at work, the ball passing through the arm and lodging in the chest, where it still is 5 that subsequently, in September last, he again shot Warrington in the breast ; and that, on the evening of the day before the affair which gave rise to this case, he again repeated his threat to blow Warring ton's brains out, and to kill Marshall also, be cause lie was a friend of the former. Oil day Of the shooting the parties met at Ilea, gnu's, when Furman said he wanted to speak to Warrington. The two accordingly sat down, and Marshall also. While conversing:, they said they distinctly heard a pistol cock - in Fur man's pocket, and saw him in the act of draw ing the weapon. Believing his purpose to be to shoot one or both of them, Marshall struck Furman with a billy, and Warrington shot hint Furman's side of the case will be heard on Thursday, to which day the court adjourned. Francis Peters, for robbing a soldier of $1.90, was sentenced for three years to the county prison. „F 4 PHILADELPHAI iNgcifeli - J"WILMINGTON, AND BAL.! TIMORE RAILROAD. TIME TABLE.
