THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAP.fi PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1808. WYOMING TERR XTOR Y. The Recent Indian Ontrnire View or Oeneritl Miermnn. A correspondent, writing to the Cblcasro Tri-lune from Chejeune, Wyoming Territory, oa August 3, bjs: I have just returned from the mountains, and from the plains bejond the West crossing of North Platte, oa the Union' PrcIUo rUllroart. All along the Hue of the road the Indian que-tion Is the main and almost the only theme of convowatUn.

Indeed, it is easy enough to see that a pt riect frenzy of excitement is brewing, and that but a few more reports, suoh a have been rife lor a lew days, will be required to take the whole populace "off their feel." Rumors fly thick and laM, many of them founded upon facs which are uply enough. At Denton, and one bears of thousand- of Indians on the war path in Colorado, and of almost innumerable massacres. Here, I have Just been told that near Medicine Bow, there are four thousnnd Sioux warriors in hostile array while jesterday, at Medicine Bow, it was Btatea that some ono had seen a party of red skins in that vicinity numbering nearly four hundred. Yrsterday mornlnor, here, or within one and a half miles of town, live Indians shot and ricalped a stock herder, and run off thirty horses. One hundred miles westward, the story runs that half a thonsand red devils have swept through Cheyenne, committing many murders and imlc-Fcnbablo outrages.

One man, murdered last Monday, near Pino Bluff, has been mainland into the slaiiRhtcr of eipht or ten, and the few breech clouted scallawaps who committed the outrages, as the rcpoit goes, amounted to quite a respectable army. The few recent murders near Denver, cruel and terrible as they are, have swollen, lu many places, to almost a general massacre of the settlers, and many a one believes to-day that an army of ten thousand Sioux warriors are rldinjr through Colorado, bent on murders, spoils, and deviltry. In truth, the public mind Is a good deal of a fever, and well it may be. There is no doubt but that those pleasant red brothers of ours have broken through tho meshes of that silken net which our more ornamental than useful Indian Commissioners delusively imagined they had recently woven around the wily aborigines and that hostilities have been renewed in earnest. Some dozen or more murders have receutly been committed, other personal outrages have been perpetrated and much property destroyed or stolen.

But whether there is a general outbreak or not is not yet definitely known. It may, after all, be only the private diversion of some prodigal braves who are untimely out of ammunition and blankets, and intended simply a as gentle reminder to our Commissioners that thoy should put in an aopearance tnstanter. They know, these red skins, that General Sherman has giucn it as his opinion that they are nearly invincible that to exterminate them except by the eentle process of kindness and conciliation, would cost a million dollars per head. Nobody hereabouts has the least confidence ia our soldiery, so far as huntlncr, capturing, or killing Indians is concerned, and I may remark that General W. T.

Sherman is included in this distrust. The common belief is that the time is at hand when the citizens, however unwillingly, will be obliged to orgauize and act in defence of their lives, their lamilies, and their property. Unless our Government soon does something to allny distrust, afford protection, and show its will to secure tome practical results, this last resort of a neglected and outraged people Is not far and I tell you plainly that if this ultimate does come, a long caravan of nomadic wretches, not in Indian file, but in masses and myriads, will be safely quartered on an everlasting reservation," beyond a river not on the maps, and which does not flow in these parts. General Sherman's headquarters are now at Fort Saundets, one and a half miles this side of Laramie Station on the railroad. It would seem to an unmilitary judgment that during this little unpleasantness with our aboriginal brothers, Fort Kussell would be the opportune place for the overseeing eye.

Medicine Bow and Rock Creek West of here, are the most feasible points of attack for the red bkins. Como is perhaps about the same. From Rock Creek to the neighborhood of Pine Bluffs little apprehension is felt. This, then, seems to be the central point where the eye ot the commander should be placed. I may remark that last night, about one hundied miies West from heie, 1 speut some hours in a telegraph office, by reason of the bursting of an eLglne, and that I know that messages were constantly flying over the lines in reference to the situation, and many of them ordering arms and ammunition for unprotected places, CITY 1TE31S.

Yet, strange to say, indigestion is the most neglected of all ailments.

It par vales every civilized portion of the Western Hemisphere, and its celebrity as a tonic and alterative is everywhere established.

JOBES. The sad duty of burial or those two beautiful daughter ol Judtte of New Egypt, a description or whose death by lightning was so graphically given In your issue of Ihe 1st was performed yesterday. The whole community seemed melted In sympathy with the bereaved parents. There was a mournf ul frttndeur seldom equalled in our- lite pilgrimage, hene lovely girls were universal. respected aud De-loved.

They had been standing on the piazza looking at little children playing in pools of water. There hud been nopremonltory lightning or thunder. ThlsfUsh came as their arms were entwined about each other. They feel In death s'lll entwined no scar about the lace; no outonlou of a muscle. They were placed la the same casket, and in a like position.

Truly that mother, deeply stricken as she is. must feel the comforting assurances of tbe Higher Power, that she Is blessed In being able thus to give to Heaven two auch augello children. She the noblest woman of our race who can render sue, offering, Tbe very heavens wep. while those dear children yet seemed on earib; bin when that stricken mother finally gave them back to God, there came tbe bright smiles of the morning to assure her, "All Is well." It seemed their spirits were being waned npon tbe wings tf the wind, upward and siluupward to the Everlasting Father. And the words seemed to go forth: Thou hast done the work which 1 bave given thee to do, so well, that even thus early their lives are so boiihu.

bu perieoi. tuey uoiue to aaorn kingdom 1 It Is not in anger, but lu love I call. They bave gone beyond tby teaching and thy sight, but not so far but that they shall ever be ready to come to "strengthen and sustain 1" Our beloved Wnittler seemed to express It: "And li my heart aud flesh are weak To bear au untried pain; Tbe brnlsed reed lie will not break, Bui streng'hen and sustain." There was a wonderful love and harmony existing between these sisters. They were always good and lihrist-like. Their purity, beauty, and loveliness Impressed every ote.

Every heart was comforted by the beautiful success of piacl'g them In tbe same casket. It reoalled "Saul at Jouatban were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their depth they were not divided." No on can forget tbe sight Anna with, "Yea, though I pass through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil," plainly written on her face. And dea little Hannah, so sweetly sad, and as though sh would oven her eyes and say, "Mother can you spar me? Anna's arm Is around me So lovingly, and shall cross safely over together." Deep and lasting will be tbe lesson of this week, and while hearts are made sad at tie seporatlon, tbe true Christian will Und conso'atlon in the faith and trust ot tbe biesslugs of the higher life.

40 SOUTH THIRD STREET, rHii.AngLPHXA. (IS 780 MILES OF TBI UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD Are now flnlrhed and in operation Although tut. road Is built wltn great rapidity, the work thoroughly done, and Is pronounced by th. United But. Commissioners to be flrst-clasa In every respect, be-fere it Is accepted, aud before any bonds can bo issued npon It.

Bapldlty and excellence of construction have been secured by a complete division of labor and by dta i ribmlng the twenty thourand sen employed alone tbe line tor long distances at once. It 1. now probable that the WHOLE LINE TO THE TACIFIC WILL DE COMPLETED IN 1869. The Company have ample mean, of which the Gov ernment (rant, the right of way, and all necessary timber and other material, found along the Una ofiti operation; also acres of land to the mile, takea In alternate sections, on each aide of lis road; al.

Way or Local Business only durlrglhe year ending June 30, 1868, amounted to over FOUR MILLION DOLLARS, Which alter paying all expense, was much mor. than sufficient to pay tbe interest npon Its Bond. Those earnings are no indication of the vast through, traffic that must lollow th. opening of the line to tkt Pacltic, but they certainly prove that FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS Upon such a property coating nearly three time their amount, ARE ENTIRELY SECURE.

The Union Pacific Bonds run thirty years, are for flew each, and have coupons attached. Tbey bear annual Interest, payable on the first day. of January and July, at the Company's office In th. City of Sw York, at the rate of six per cent, in gold. The principal Is payaDle In gold at maturity.

The price Is 10 and at tbe present rate ot gold, they pay a liberal iueom. on their cost. A very important consideration in determining tho value of tlieae bonds I. the length of time they nave to run. It Is well known that a long bond always command a much higher price than a short one.

It 1. safe to assume that during the next thirty years, tie rate of Interest In the United States will decline a. It ha. done In Europe, and we have a right to expect that auch six per cent, securities as these will be held at aa high a premium as these of this Oovernment, which In 1857 were bought in at from 20 to 24 per cent, above par. The export demand alone may produce this result, and a.
