SITVK. X5ox J. I West Slli st. CINCINNATI, O. n2.ly but significant of some dire disaster Many of these men who had deserted their officers in time of peril bad seen a hundred Indians all around them.

Fenr -had destroyed their vision, and made them so helpless that one of their number was afterwards found dead on the Geld without a shot. He had been butchered with knives, and was so panic struck that he could not fire a shot in his defence. There was a mystery about the attack that nobody appeared to solve as to how the troops were so completely surprised, as if in camp. Where were the pickets or the skirmishers'? It appeared so strange that a party of sixty-nine men should be almost surrounded by Indians without their being aware of a sign of Indians as far as they could see. This fact alone will give the public an idea of the nature of the ground in which Indians fight, and what our soldiers have to contend against.

During? the night the Indians were creeping through the rocks to scalp and strip the dead. Soldiers coming through Col. Green's lines told him where the remains of batteries and II were to be found. Col. Green -immediately moved forward his line to the place, indicated, and there, hid in some sage brush, were the naked bodies of Maj.

Thomas, Lieut. Howe, Sergt. Rowe and six others. Col. Wright's body lay a little to the left, and on the right wasLieut.

Harris, severely wounded, and the bodies of five of his men, stripped of all their Forty-nine men were killed and wounded out of a command. of C9 men. lSOIESTEASF.RS' MEETING.

The editor of this sheet has been suddenly called from his post of duty to the sickrbcd of his aged father at home in Pennsylvania, and will probably be absent two weeks. In behalf of a host of friends whom Mr. Martin leaves here we hope tie may soon return, bringing U3 good reports from his home. As we go to press a telegram has reached us to the effect that rJr. Martin's father died yesterday rooming, the 8th, at six o'elock.

Mr. Martin probably reached home last: nfcht." The New York senate has repealed the usury law by a vote of 17 to 12. The State printer contest has been decided in favor of Geo. W. Martin, of the Junction Union.

Tbe editors and publishers of Missouri are to have a convention on the 28th to be held at Things are not so very quiet on the Arkansas border in Indian matters, and caution is a good thing to take along when you go out on the frontier of Kansas about this time of the year. George Prescott of the Leavenworth Commercial, and one of the pioneer editors of Kansas, has retired from that paper, and will go to Salt Lake. Mr. D. W.Huston succeeds Mr.

Prescott. The editorial convention at Atchison on the 20th wjll be a pleasant and profitable affair. The editors will get a free ride to Lincoln, Nebraska, and have whole basketsful of fun and good thing9 besides. Now if we were not "merely a publisher," we'd go or fall down and break. Hon.

I. SKalloch is to deliver 'the oration before the State Editorial Association at its meeting in Atchison on the 20th day of May, and Capt. Jas. W. Steele, the accomplished editor of the Kansas Magazine, is expected to read an original poem or one of his characteristic frontier sketches.

The King Bridge Company have gone back on their contract to bridge the Missouri at Atchison. We are of of the opinion that there is something not merely lamb-like but rather sheepish about that transaction, and we might be pursuaded to think that the said company wasn't very substantial any how. The Clyde -True Iibpublican in an item concerning the district court in Cloud, makes'the following note of our respected townsman, the Judge: Wilson presiding, as usual, with credit to himself, and honor to the bar of Kansas." Such items are not uncommon among' our western contemporaries. The people of the southwest part of the State are trying to get up a gold excitements. We don't need such ex citement out in Northern Kansas to induce immigration; the merits of our section as an agricultural country, with our unlimited advantages for the upbuilding of manufactories of all kinds, in connection with the healthiest and most congenial climate in the world, is all the recommendation we need.

Secretary Delano, who appointed the peace -commission, believes that, despite the Modoc mass acre, the peace policy will -be continued. lie thinks the Modoc troubles are due to a unique combination of causes which is not likely to be repeated. Both the secretary and the recently appointed Indian commissioner, the Rev. E. P.

Smith, agree in declaring that this policy is meant for friendly Indians, not for those that are hostile. Ik is meant to protect Indians so long as they behave themselves. Another innocent, religious old eheep has been fleeced out of $G40, at Ogden, Utah, by members of the gnng of three-card-monte sharpers who infest the. tons along the line of the ailroad. The old gentleman was on the train going East, and got off for the purpose of getting a cup of coffee, and in less than ten minutes the thieves had completely cleaned him put.

He thought he had a "dead thing," of course, on the gamblers, and it was his intention to donate the money he expected to -win to some missionary society, to bo used in buying ice for the Kamschstkans, or blankets for the fu fieri ng natives in the interior of Africa. warm friends throughout the State, and especially here where he is well known, and his unswerving honor, integrity and candor, and fine ability cannot fail to give him an enviable position in the -estimation of any community. TTe fear that foreigners sometimes find it difficult to read our newspaper language, even with a tolerably fair knowledge of its intricacies. What, for instance, could they make of the following from a western contemporary: "The mayor galooted up the church aisle, scashaying "and gyrating like a Chinese Joss with the jini jams." "We are a progressive people, even in our language. Ex.

TTIE KEW.POSTAL The Post Office Department com-mensed the publication of the postal cards on the first of May. The "card adopted is five and one-eighth inches in length and three inches in width, and is made of good stiff paper, water marked, with the initials U. S. P. O.

in monogram. The face of the card is engraved, surrounded by a border in scroll work one eighth of an inch in width. The one cent stamp printed on the upper right hand corner is from a profile bust of the Godess of liberty, looking to the left, and surrounded by a lathe worked border, with the words U. S. Postage" inscribed above, and "one cent" below.

On the upper left hand corner are the word3 United States Postal Card," with directions to "write the address only on this side the message on the other. Under, neath and occupying the lower half of the card, are ruled lines on which to write the address, the top line being prefixed with the word "To." The back of the card, intended for the communication, is being devoid even of ruled lines. In color the body of the card is light cream, the printing velvet brown. The cards will be sold for one cent each, and must be purchased of a postmaster. An ordinary printed business card may be sent through the mails when prepaid by a one cent postage stamp attached, but such card must contain absolutely no written matter except the address, otherwise it will be treated as not fully prepaid, and refused admission into the mails.

Ex. 510J)OC WARFARE. Tlie IVew York Account of llie 3izit Ji.it! jmsiiij lite in tlie JLiivio. 5e4i. A Herald special from the lava beds dated April 26, says that the force under CaptI Thomas which started to reconnoitre the position supposed to be held the Moddcs numbered six-ty-niue men.

The object was mainly to find out how the Modocs were situated, and whether matters could be brought up and used effectively against them. As the troops approached the cave in the lava beds, about half past ten, our command was brought to a halt and the men allowed to take a rest. The story of the officers is differently reported; some sa' five or six shots were fired, and others onty four, but Ticknor states positively that it came from a party of nine Indians who occupied the bluff to, the eastward of where the troops were stationed. Major Thomas immediately threw the men into skirmishing order, with Lieutenant Wright's company on the right. The lattery however, had not gone into position before 'they we're flunked cn the right by a party of fourteen other Indians that had come up to the advance of those who fired first.

The cross-fire on Wright's men proved very demoralizing, and they broke back in confusion, leaving their gallant leader in an exposed condition, and supported by a few ot his non-commissioned Officers. In the meantime another small party of Indians had obtained a position to the left and open- ed a raking fire on the two batteries of artillery. It was a fearful ti3p, and the first four shots were only fired to draw the troops more directly between tbe fire of the Indians on the right and left. The route was complete, and with the exception of the officers and non-commisioned officers, a majority of whom lav stretched on the rooks with their life-blood ebbing fast away, the watchword was sauve qui pent. Confused and demoralized as they were, the men became an easy prey to the who, confident in the protection- of their native rocks, shot them STATE It' KITS.
