New York, August 30. An arrival furnishes interesting intcl-igence from Vonezuela. President Castro had been seizad and compelled to' surrender tho Presidency by the Constitutional party, after which he was thrown into prison, ahd a close guard of 100 men set over him to watch his movements. Somo sevcro fighting had occurred, csultinjr, almost altogether in favor of the Constitutionalists. Tho utmost a- arm prevailed in the country, and the general expectation wa3 that very san guinary engagements were about to oc cur.

Threo thousand men were under arms at Carracas, resolved to deliver their country from the Federalists, or die in tho attempt. BY THE OVERLAND MAIL. Hostilities Between Indian Tribes From the Fort Smith Tinvs. We are permitted to make the follow ing extract lrom a letter written by Capt. Cabell, Quartermaster U.

S. to Major Rector, Superintendent Indian Affairs West, in which it will bo seen that the Comanches attacked Col. Blab's ndians, whilo removing them to their new homes. The letter is dated, Fort Arbuckle, Aug. 19, 1859.

Jim Ned, the interpreter, and a whito man by tho name of llouck, came to the l(ort yesterday evening, and reported that the Oomantfhes had attacked Col. ain and the Indians with him, on two different occasions. The first timo when they were only thirty inile3 from this post, and the second when they were within a short distance of their now homes. In the first attack, one of the Caddoes camo in wounded. Nothing more definite is known." Jim Ned says that all of Col.

Blain's ndians are huddled together in tho Su gar Tree valley, and that he was the on ly Indian that could be induced to leavo the camp to escort wagon3 back that went up with the Indians. Major Neighbors was within five miles, and escorted by Major Thomas with our companies of the 2d Cavalry, who is, no doubt, at this timo after the Comanches, who had gone over to the Canadian river. They may probably meet with Major Emory's command, which is more than probable, as they are, accord ing to Jim Ned's account, between the two commands. Should they be overtaken by either command, you may rely on it, there will be, as the Texan would say, "some fur lifted." I hope they may bo caught and thrashed severely. the above was put in type, we been permitted to publish tho let ters from tho Witchita agent, Col' Blain, to Majr Recter, Superintendent, which fully corroborates tho announcement from Capt.

Cabell, and go to show that the Uomanclics aro determined to car ry out their threats against the Wichi- tas. Camp on Washitaw, near the Old Kcchie Village, Aug. 12, '59. Sir I have iust arrived at the point designated (or the erection of an Agency, and the settlement of the Indians under my cre, having been eighteen days on the road. In consequence of the scarcity of wa ter and the extreme heat, I was compelled to take a circuitous route to this point.

I am glad to inform you that the trip has beon made in good order and without an accident, though it has taken a greater length of time to make the homo trip than it would if we could have taken the ridge route, which is usu ally travolcd. Wo were detained two days on the Washitaw, (5th and 6th by tho wild Indians, a small party of whom wo discovered on the morning of the 5th when at a point nearly opposite tho old Washitaw village. We chased them about twenty miles, and succeeded in capturing every horse and mulo belonging to the party. But the Indians themselves escaped into a dense thickest into which wo did not think it prudent te follow. We sustained no injury except ono Wichita youth slightly wounded and two horses killed.

The Kechie Chief's horse was shot under him. Your friend and ob't servant. S. Blain, U. S.

We are not aware that any Indians havo been driven from the lands, and should be obliged to any one ho will give us correct information on the subject. Mr Stovens may rest assured, that if his Census List is not what it should be, it will be quick ly disposed of by tho Department. Lecomi'TON, Aug. 21, 1850. Eds.

Republican: I noticed, a few days since, an article in your paper, copied from somo Linn County paper, headed "More Swindling in tho New York Indian Lands," and an inquiry on your part concerning the matter. I then intended to answer your inquiry at once, but was too unwell to write, and am now unable to move a pen except for a few moments at a time. Siuco reading your articlo I have seen tho proceedings and resolutions of a meeting of the "citizens of Southern Kansas," held at Barnesville on tho Gth inst. If you have received those proceedings and havo published or intend to publish them, I hope you will deem it an act of justice to publish this short reply. I can now only say, as well in self defence as for tho information of an honest people who may feel anxious to know the truth, that the charges there made against the "Commissioner" if they are intended to apply to me are without a shadow of foundation in truth and entirely false, and, as I believe, gotten up premeditatedly by a few worthies to le adopted by that meeting, not for the purpose pretended, but to raise a dust to cover outrages both long ago and recently committed on tho few peaceable and defenceless Indians there outrages that would bring disgraco upon any "legal and law-abiding citizens." I was well informed, some time since that an arrangement had been made with a view to drive the few remaining Indians from their homes on the Little Osago River.

This arrangement has, in part, been carried into effect, and many of these Indians are now scattered over the Territory, compelled to beg their bread. Soon after this driving off took place, the meeting of the Gth inst. was held, 1 composed of "law-abiding citizens," and those loyal and sympathetic resolutions were gotten up by a few and passed, for no other reason, in my judgement, than to draw public attention from the last outrage. But what is really the trouble? No one i3 trying to get the land of the whites, to my knowledge. The Indians there aro not on, nor do they interfere with tho claims of the whites.

I do not believe the government or any of its officers intend to disturb a single whito settler now on the New York Indian lands. The Indian Department have sent me to ascertain the number of New York Indians in Kansas, the time of their arrival hero in order that they may decide who are iustly entitled to lands on the New York tract in Kansas, and report te the Depart ments my doings, with a census list. All I have to do or propose to do, is to report facts, and the Department will decide, ihis duty I have been laboring to perferm, and in so doing I have acted strictly in accordance with ray in structions. My report and census list are nearly completed and will soon be forwarded to the Indian Department, and when their contents are known 1 believe they will be satisfactory, even to the "law-abiding citizens of Southern Kan sas." But up tothfs time, the contents of such report and list are known oniy to myselt and cleric. Hence the meet ing at Barnesville must have based those grave charges upon "current reports." suggested merely by imagination, or manufactured tor tho occasion.

Very respectfully yours, A. S. STEVENS. EUROPE. Boston, August 26.

JOHNSTON. THE LATEST IIUMLTG. Tho friends of the Wyandott Constitution, try to Lido its faults by raising a hue and cry, to the effect that the Democrats desire its defeat in order to make Kansas a slaTe state. The only thing they adduce in support of this pretense, is, that tho Democrats in tho Conven tion, voted to give the masters of slaves one year's time to take them hence, and thus get rid of them a3 free-negroes, They designedly forget, that every Ter- ritorial Convention of the Democratic party, that has met since its present organization, has resolved in favor of a free white Stato. It is a silly pretense, to suppose that the Democrats in the Convention had any idea of making this a slave State, simply from tho fact that they were willing to give slave-owners a reasonable time to dispose of them.

The last two Republican Legislatures failed I to make this a free Territory, and tho charges of pro slaveryism comes with a bad grace from that party. It is notorious, that there was but one pro slavery man in the Wyandott Convention. AU the rest of the Democrats were ardently free-state, and so voted. Their party platform and pledges require it of them. The Democracy are publicly pledged again and again, to frec-stateism, and "there is not a sensible man in tho Territory that doubts their sincerity.

Demagogues may pretend so to people whom they regard as of weak judgement and to them only. Republicans should remember that Mr. Paiuiott, when a candidate for the Convention, advocated the policy of giving masters timo to remove their slaves, JOINT POLITICAL MEETINGS. Judge S. Johnston, and Hon.

The Constitution and Doniphan Post. The Doniphan Post is out a-gainst the Wyandott Constitution, on the ground of our poverty, thinking a State government more expensive than a Territorial. The editor i3 a new comer to Kansas, and does not know the wants of the people. He is not aware that the Territorial government as ad-administered by Democratic officials, a-menable only to tho federal executive, ha3 cost us as much as a State government will with prudent management. Elwood Free Press." We have been in Kansas several years ana we are aware of nothing ofUekind.

The idea is a new one, that a State government, such a3 the Wyandott Consti- tition would saddle upon ua, will be less expensive than our present Territorial organization. We ask if a Legislature composed of 100memberitlas anything do with a proper and economical ad-ministrat'on of a State government. The editor of tha Press will plcaso re member, that expenses created by "Dem ocratic officials, amenable only to the 'federal executive," are paid only, out of United States-Treasury, and not as would have ua belies, by tLc people ot tue lemtory. Tho Stato of Jefferson. 3 lio mania for Constitution making, does not appear to be confined to Kan sas, A Convention has recently been holdcn at Denver City, to frame a Constitution for tho State of Jefferson.

This move does not appear to meet with tho approval of a majority of the miners, but is an effort made on the part of sun- dry office-seeking politicians, who are too lazy to work, and too proud to beg, and therefore desire tho creation of a large number of offices, whereby they may be supported. It will be time c-nough for the inhabitants of that auriferous region, to consider tho propriety of adopting a State government, when the Indian title to a portion at least, of their territory, has been extinguished, and permanent settlements made. Un til that time, the people will find it less burdensome, to leave tho expenses of government, to be paid out of Uncle Sam's Excheuer. The Wool Trade. Every week wo notice in Kansas City and Leavenworth papers, accounts of large receipts of wool from New Mexico.

That Territory is eminently adapted to the raising of sheep. The rough, hilly character of the country, and genera1 sterility of the soil, precludes extensive farming operations, and the great distance from market, renders the transportation of less valuable produce than wool, top expensive and hence unprofitable. The climate of New Mexico is not so hot, as to cause tho wool to become coarse and thin, and the winters are so mild, that little extra care is necessary to bring the sheep through in good condition. To the Bourbon County Volunteers. Tho members of the various Compa-panies of Bourbon County Volunteers, who acted as the U.

S. Marshal's posse, for tho suppression of difficulties in Southern Kansas last winter, are requested to meet at Fort Scott, on tho 17th to take measures, to secure their pay from the U. S. Government. A general attendance is requested.

Nashville (Tenn.) Union and American, of Aug. 19th, gives an interesting account of the presentation of Gen. Jackson's gold snuff box, to Gen.

Ward B. Burnett, Surveyor General cf Kansas and Nebraska. The box was riginally presented to the great Chief, by the authorities of New York City, as a token of their high appreciation of hia brilliant military services. In his will, he bequethed it "to that patriot residing in the city of New York, who shall bo adjudged by his countrymen te have been the most valient in defence of his country and his country's rights." In the absence of Col. Andrew Jackson, the box was presented by Dr.

Jno. M. Lawrence, and receivtd by Gen. Gideon J. Pillow for Gen.

Burnett, who was absent in Kansas. Capt. Henry Gains was deputed by Gen. Burnett, to receive the box from Gen. Tillow and deposit in a place of safety.

Several interesting letters were read, and speeches made on tho occasion, but have- po room for thca..
