Camp Supply, Indian Territory,
D Saturday, June 17, 1870.
' ED. CALL.:—With the intention of
hunting on the road, and the expectation
of seeing the aboriginies in camp at
Supply, we accompanied on train leaving
Hays on Monday, May 23, for the Indian
Territory. This train was expected to
arrive at its destination in thirteen days,
but owing to rough weather and the eons
of the desert, it reached here only last
night, afte . r a journey of nineteen' days.:
Should any of your readers desire to
visit the plains; urge them, by all means, .
to do so. in company with a bull train,
and during the rainy season. Tile com
forts of civilization, the delicacies of the
cuisine, and the wholesome effect of good
morals will be henceforth felt and appre
ciated.
Our train lields out to the innocent
traveler the inducements of . bacon and
bread, washed down by sugarless coffee.
The " whackers" are models of their
class. We have a lawyer, a professor, a
music teacher, a Hoosier, a Red Shirt, a
Sandy, the Canadian, a Limp dogs-fetch
it, and " Doodlosocic." Most prominent
is that old plainsman of Independence,
Wood McMillan, one of the best known
train-masters of the frontier. Wood is
famous for graduating the best bull
whackers from his outfit. A. fellow may
well despair of becoming " alderman of
his native village," &c., if ho quits
McMillan's train without being able to
pop a whip with a pistol-like report,
yoke a couple of oxen quick as a wink,
deal in wild profanity, and address his
team like a prince of bull-whackers,
(ninety-three miles).
From Hays to Dodge we hair good
roads and fine weather, barring the wind,
which is usually blowing a full.gale.
am told by scientists that the origin of
these Winds'is as_follows In order to
comply with the pre-emption laws, claim
ists in these parts plant a row of beans
as the crop required by law, and of course
• never gatherthe vegetables. Next season
the guileless buffaloes conic along and
eat the beans. • Traveling northward, in
the course of a day, they leave a straight
'streak of Wind in their rear—such is the
rapidity of their movements !
We saw, in traveling from the Smoky
Hill river to the Arkansas, -at least one
hundred thousand buffaloes. The whole
face of the country seemed covered. We
had a surfeit of killing without- hunting.
Like those chaps who try to annihilate
the city's bad :Whisky, we were over
whelmed by quantity.
The day we left the Arkansas, we
heard that the rancho on _Behr Creek,
foity miles in front of us, had been-at
. tacked, - two men killed, and the sergeant
wounded in seven places by arrows. Two
only escaped unhurt. This was the first
intfinatiori - we received of ,Indian out
• breaks on our route. We afterwards
came into closer Ipiarters.
The third day from Dodge rain set in..
Rain I Great heavens burst ! Hour af
ter hour It poured. Creeks became
rivers, and ravines creeks, It eontinued
to fall day after day, with short inter
-rnissionsruntil—wo-neared.JSupply,__The
cattle refused to work, 'and we were five
days in making the last thirty miles, not,
however, altogether owing to the storm.
On Monday, May 30,, as 3laj. Armes
was traveling in the direction of Camp
Supply, with one wagon and an ambu
lance, (in all a party of fifteen,) he was
suddenly surrounded, near Bunk) creek,
by a body of some eighly Indians, who
greeted him with many " How,hows._!"
in hail-fellow-well-met style. Surround
ing his ambulance, they flourished their
tomahaWk.4 and spear, at the same time
drawing their bows and arrows, and de
manded tobacco and " chuckaway,"
(food). The Major held his revolver in
his war hand, and shook hands in cor
dial brothel-haled with his peace digits.
The red urn kept their arms in their
murderous claws and shook a friendly
• shako with their thieving paws. On a
repetition of their deinandii, in linad and
imperious tones, the ready-witted Major
looked ahead on the road, as if he saw
something, and then • pointing , in that
direction said, "heap soldiers—come
over hill—give heap tobac !" The In
dians looked at one another, grunted
significantly, and departed quickly to
wards the setting sun. The foxy sava
ges were here fairly outwitted by the
coolness 'and ready wit of die gallant
Major,
On Wednesday, June 8, as I was walk
ing with Lieut. Bodamer, who had met
us at BlufFs creek with an escort of twen;
ty-fivo : men, I heard to the rear the cry
of "Indians 1 Indians !" andlit the same,
time several shots were fired. In a mo-,
mout the savages were charging up and
down along" the train ; the drivers ju•mp
ing in the wagons seized their guns ; the:
Ifientenant. Ordered his troopers to die-.
. mount and tie their horses to the wagons
and' deploy:, The thirty wagons were
hastily 'corralled without a stampede,
though for a few moments three,wagone
Were separated from the train. Their
• we 'had them. For thirty minutes
lively fight was kept up, when the In
dians retired to a diStance of half a mile,
being scattered over the prairie, and en
tirely surrounding thy train. Seeing the
body of a dead Indian - lyin cuf the road
at a distance, Lieut. Bodanierordered
charge, with the intention' Of, captiirind
it. We deployed' in Skirmish line, limy.;

Six Indians were dragged from the

carried off on horseback ; It is ; 13.f course ;
impossible to state how many we*
placed hors . du combat: *Three ponies
are lying dead on the field, and a number
of loose ones followed the Indians.
The attacking party is variously esti
mated at from 75 to 100, while a consid
erable force was lying on a bill and firing
into the train.
On Thursday morning, as we were
crossing the " Bed Hole," near Which
the fight of the previous 'day took place,
wo saw three wagons approaching at a
dittance of two miles, over the brow of
the high hill. When GOO yards front the
hill-top, a body of Indians suddenly
peared in their rear, and charged with
lightning speed down the hill upoli the
little party.' We wore so far away that .
immediate assistance Was out of 'mit
power; though directly Lieut. Bodamar
called for volunteers to go out and aid
them. About twenty men responded.
On our approach' the Indians fell back,•
disappointed, without any booty, and
with one wounded man. The party in
the wagons were Major Page, with soy
eral bilkers en route for Camp . Supply,
and a small escort—in - all sixteeMmen.
In the wagons wore several women, who
wore much terrified, but behovedwell.
Moving on we encamped about nood at
Sand Creek. Here the mail arriVed,
reporting that an hour before they were
attacked at Buffalo Creek by eighteen or
twenty . Indians, whom they repulsed.
This made three fights in twenty-four
hours, within an area of ton miles, in all
of which the savages were worsted.
In the evening we were joined by Cob
Nolan, with a detachment of the Tenth
Cavalry, and next day all moved to our
destination unmolested,
Camp Supply, nearly two hundred
miles south of Fort Hays, is one of the
largest and most important, though at
the same time, one of the newest posts
on the frontier. It is situated two miles,
front the confluence of Beaver and Wolf
Creeks, which form the North Fork of
Canadian river. The location is rather
low, surrounded by a hilly and wooded
country, which has afforded the Indians
advantages to charge _directly through
the camp• several times in the last ton
days. The quarters are for the most
part stockade buildings of a single story,
with 'some tents. Every precaution is
noticeable to .4 preyent a capture of the
place by a large force of savages. '
• At present five companies of the Tenth
Cavalry, and two companies of the Third
Infantry are stationed here. Lietit. Col.
Nelson, U. S. A., is in command, and has
received us very kindly. Indeed, we
cannot sufficiently express our thanks to
the officers of this post for their hospi
tality during our -brief visit.

THE members of the Republican County
Standieg_Committee are 'requested to
meet at Rheem's Hall, in Carlisle, on
Saturday, the sixteenth day of July,
1870, at 12 o'clock, m.
A full attendance is requeited.
- JOS. RITNER,
-Chairman.
B. W. HAIICH,
ARE our friends throughout the State
paying due attention to the schemes of
the ^ railroad monopolists ? No county
convention of the Republican party should
make any legislative nomination without
instructions to vote against any appro
priation of the State funds or securities
to railroad corporations. It won't do to
trust to luck. Gentlemen become very
uncertain sometimesat Harrisburg when
big railroad schemes aro pending. Nine
tenths of the people are opposed to the
iniquity of parcelling out the State bonds
to railroads which the last Legislature
attempted, and which the coining one
will also attempt, if its members are not
forbidden. Let the people then speak
their minds on this subject clearly and
emphatically, and allow' no member to
be nominated without instructions to
oppose the railroad scheme. The Re
publican paity is vitally interested in
this matter. It is the majority party,
and if it allows the trusts confided to it
to be squandered or mikapplied, it cannot
escape condemnatiOn. And then it
should be known .and understood that
the great scheme of last winter was under
the conlyol and , direction of Frank
Hughes, and Wallace, and would have
been so handled as to•inure to the benefit
of the Democratic' party. Every eon
sitkration, both of duty'and policy, de
mands that the Republicans everywhere
'should array themselves against this
scheme."
JUDOR ' WOODWARD certainly added
nothing to his reputation by his recent
speech in the House, in favor of paying
.the prinCipal and interest of the public
debt in greenbacks. That sort of talk
might do for Brick Pomeroy, and that
class of Democratic leaders, but surely
the Judge knows that such a proposition
is either repudiation or timp*R,
legal tender note is .tinly a promise ~ to
pay 'the sum of Money named on' its face.,
If _this promise is not a fraud, then the
greenbacks, themselves must be paid,',
which leaves us in no better condition .
than - we are - now;•' If the greenbacks aro
not to be redeemed, then the proposition
is plainly repudiation, and as such should .
be scorned - by all honest men. •

tested the capacity of the _engine- to'

before a large numberorspeciators. At
five minutes the 'gunge, indicated five
pounds of steam ; at•seven minutes,

teen pounds, and at eight and a-half
minutes, twenty pounds._ at,which_time
it commenced throwing water through
100 feet of hose, and a q inch nozzle:
Steam was then rapidly Alin up to over

The companies all presented splendid
appearance, and it was, decidedly, the
largest and beSt Firemen's Parade ever
held in Carlisle. The principal streets
were marched through, and about three
hours'' thne consumed in passing over the
route, noticed in our last issue. Very
few country people were in town, owing
to the •fact of being in - the - midst of bar
vost. During the day a picnic wal held
at the Meeting House Springs, a short
distance above town, at which there was
a large-attendance everything Massed off
pleasantly, turd the party returned to
town in the evening, well pleased with
the festivities of the day.
'Fite Mechanicsburg Zouaves passed
through lown. on the nine o'clock train,
on their way to Shippenshurg, to attend
a picnic. A large number of personS ac
emnpanied them, and we suppose they
hada—pleasant time of it. They return-
ed on an extra train about nine p. m.
In the afternoon a slight disturbance
occurred lietWeen some of the members
of the different tire companies. A few
bloody noses. torn shirts, some very loud
talking, an.l worse profanity was the sum
total disasters. Very few drunken
men Were about, although one or two
were very patriotic, and were accommo
dated with it sleeping place in Fort
(:ionberland and Union Fire. Com
panies exercised their steamers in the
afternoon when some very good playing .
was done.
in the evening alma nine o'clock, a
very large dii.play of Ilvworlts was mado
ny several gentlemen; The squares were
iimwded with ladies and I;,intlemen wit
nesslin; thn display, which was very

Ladies and Gentlemen :—The progress
of astronomical science IS 'so rapid, that
only the newspaper reporter, riding by
express trains, or using the telegraph
flees can seep up with it. Hence, the
newspapers are the best sources of in
formation, if lightning can be depended
upon, and I think it can—as the miller
said when a thunderbolt ground him to
powder. As lam a reporter by the fast
line, and have lately been around some,
among the telescopes and bakeries, I con
sider myself well qualified to treat—not
to "stand treat,” mind—upon the sun,
moon and milky whey, which last is good
for the measles, and the first is good for
a shine. We shall make our observa
tions from the earth, partly because it is
the best point yet known from which to
observe things, but mainly because of
the imperfect facilities at present af
forded for getting upon any other planet
to observe. The sun is the largest plan
etjhat we have any knospledge—of-:—•lle
is_ a , particularlybrafty planet, hard: to
get around. It takes the earth, veteran
though she is in craftiness, 365 days and
