The Indluu War—liout of the Rod
Skins,
Four Kkarnky, N. T m >Iov. 7, 1865.
In cmiHiduralion of tbo inlo.ust foil by
your render* in tho Indian war now on
tho Plain, I have collected tho facts re
lating t«> an expedition that has just re
turned from pursuit aud siMncle upon a
bund <•! L’heyonnos wlm had crossed tho
Platte and attacked and destroyed a I rain
on Sunday, tho *2V*lh October, at Alkali
Station. (Ion. Ilealli, in command of the
Sub-District, was on hi* way up thi* road
attending In its proper protection, when
lie was informed of the depredation, lie
telegraphed to Capt. Kmmio, of the 1st
Nebraska, stationed near Alkali, to follow
and attack at once, and he would follow
in supporting dietunco with all tho force
ho could raise, ('apt. Krumie, wilii 66
men, took their trail ntonee, ami overtook
them on the 30th on the White Mnn’sfork
of the Kepubiican, in camp, lienttnekod
ami drove thorn out, taking all their camp
mate. ial, und killing and woundincj from
thirty to thirty live. The Indiana re
treated to the bill* ami bluff*, and con*
timn d to sUirinifh at fafo distance for sov-
oral licura.
Thinking that they were skirmishing
for time to receive reinlorcemeiit*, and bo-
in^ unable to reach them, scattered us
they were, Captain Krumie fell Imek for
support on llencral Heath, who was cam*
inpf up witli one hundred and twenty-live
men and ofUcern. Tbo General, alior rest-*
ing men ana unimaln, pushed rapidly for
ward on the trail of the rod skins, who
were rotreatine: down the White Man
fork. The trail was followed down the
*troain for thir y miles without finding tbo
Indians.
Tho next day, the 1st of November, tho
command pushed forward at daylight, tho
trail leading south into the mountains of
that stream for twenty miles, when the
(•Vnoral became convinced that the In
dians iVoro scattering to deceive him and
load him away Irom the true point. Ho
therefore struck for the hills of the Stink
ing Water, crossing it with difficulty four
tiRio*, and camping below its mouth.—
Here lie found evidences of a large force,
and in camping look every precaution to
receive them as became a gentleman ol
bis rank, if they chose to call upon him.

at a moment’s notice, and iti thirty min

twen’y of the rial devils and sending tho
others away in something of a hurry.—
Pursuit was instantly made, but owing to
the mountainous character of the country,
and it being night, the Indians had no

two days, and it Was thought best to re

From the Newnan Harald.
Captain Sloan’s Speech to the Freed-
men.
Early on tho morning of Saturday last
crowd* of freedraon could be seen wend
ing their way from every point of tho
compass to Newnan. This statoof things
continued until midday, by which time
the square and streets wore filled with all
ago* and sexes of the colored population.
At three o’clock they were called to the
Courthouse yard, find Capt. Sloan, com
mandant of the post, ascended the steps
and took his position in front of the door
of tho Superior Court room. The Cap
tain commenced his talk by aayfng tt was
customary for some one to explain the ob
ject of everv meeting. He called upon
any one of the crowd to state the object of
their assembling.
A freed man said—“I spoBe you gwine
to make us a speech.”
“What am I going to speak about?”
interrogated tho Captain.
“You gwine to give us some advice and
directions,” responded the freedman.
Captain S. said ho had heard of an old
Aunty” who did not comprehend theob-
joet of the meeting. She was met a short
distance from Newnan by a gentleman,
who asked her where she was going. The
agod freed woman replied she was going to
town after that bureau, and she was going
to have it, too. The speaker continued :
l ou are now free, but freedom means
only freedom to do right. Tbo idea that
has obtained currency among you that at
Christmas tho lands, horses, etc., of for-
mor masters would be parceled out among
those who wore lately their slaves, was
preposterous and erroneous. The Yan
kees cannot give you lands, for they have
none to give. If you expect to own prop
erty you must labor and acquire it. Cap*
tuin S. urged upon his numerous uuditory
the necessity and propriety of an honest
and truthful courso in life. He told them
if they expected to live by pilfering they
were mistaken, for he would severely puu*
isb those provon to be guilty.
He explained to them the nature of a
contract, and when once it was made,
both parties should scrupulously obsorve
it. Tho virtue of obedieuce wai strongly
portrayod.
When the speaker touched upon the
subject of marriage and announced that
ho would punish any one guilty of biga
my, wo imagined wo could see a shade of
dissatisfaction overshadow the counte
nance of some of tho vicious.
Captain S. concluded his remarks by
stiongly urging upon bis colored auditory
tho bonoflt of acquiring a reputation for
honesty, veracity and economy, and
placing plainly before them their obliga
tion* to support and provide lor their off
spring and aged and inilrni relatives. We
have not attompUd to give the words of
Captain S., but to reproduce a few of hi*
ideas. His address was replete with good
advice, ami if received as intended, the
freed population will bo benefitted.
Tho crowd, after pationtly listening to
a speech for nearly an hour, quietly dis
persed.
Until convinced to the contrary, we did
not believe that any one doubted the
speaker being tho veritable Capt. Sloan.
Our citizens, liowovor, overheard a fow of
the darkies conversing, and one said, ‘they
can’t fool me; that nmn (referring to the
one who had addressed thorn) was Frank
Welch in Yankeeclothos.’ Frank Welch
is a printer in this office, and was busily
engaged as such whilo Capt. Sloan was
speaking.
Provious to Capt, Sloan’s address some
of the more foolish ones wore going^ around
town trying to sell some furniture, to
make room for the large bureaus to be re
ceived that day. We know of one or more
trades having boon made.
We had nearly forgotten to mention a
fact stated by Captain Sloan, which was,
that there had been an average of one
death per day—seventy-five in ail—among
the freed population during his stay in
Newnan. This is true, and tells heavily
against emancipation. Wo think we are
correct in Maying that in previous year*,
whilo tho negroes wore slaves, during the
same length of time, not more than one*
twelfth of that number of deaths occurred

Oriental Troubles, 4c,
Thore i* a curious bit of news from Siam
It seems that a French priest recently fell
ut loggerheads with a Sameee Judge. The
former wont to bis consul and lodged a
complaint against the oriental dispenser of
justice. The judge visited the consul. Tho
denouncement is thus described by tho
Siam Times, published at Bangkok :
“Tho Consul refused to Ibten to the
judge, seized him by the hair of his head,
ordered him away, and threw hi* betel
box out of tbo door. A greater insult
could not well havo been givon either to
the judge or to his M«jeBty. The betel box
was one presented by tho king, and con
stituted a part of his insignia or office.
“Tho Siamcso Government could but be
highly indignant at the conduct of the
French Consul. As the news spread
abroad among the officers it was no easy
matter to rostrain their feelings, and act
within the bounds of reason. What, we
ask, would he the course of the French
Government should a difficulty arise in
Paris with a foreign Consul, and the Em
peror should senu his cousin, Prince Na
poleon, to oxploin the matter, and the
Consul should suit in his face, throw a
part of his insignia of office out of doors
and order him out of the consulate ? Mon
Kachoday (tho Siatnn man) i* & prince,
and a cousin of His Majesty. To tako bold
of the hair of tho head of a Siamese in the
manner the French Consul did, is regard
ed in Siam as an offence a* great i? not
greater than spitting in the face in Europe.
It is no easy matter to write calmly on tni*
affair. Had such an event occurred in
Paris, the offender would not go unpun*
tailed.”
This is all that wo have of the affair.
Tho Consul, it tnay be, apologized, and
thorn’* an end of the business; but it may
be otherwise. The result may be war.
Wo wait with groat impatience for later
information.
The long and tho short of it is that war

There is a little speck of trouble on the

pride there as will not willingly give up
tho position. It may lead to war, and, at

must live upon the theatre and. trttnfeea

listen to the roar of battle, and tee those
who are left upon the field, after the re
treat ; you must see fields laid whMetrfcrm
house*, cotton houses and gina in ruin#,
you must see towns and ciTee in fiamea, to
form anything like an adequate idea of
what war in reality is. You whose for
tune it bas been to see only the regiment
with colors streaming, the recipients of
all the kindness and watchful care that
friends bestow, a? they left for the scene
of battle, ran form no conception of the
appearanco of that regiment after the
battle is over, unless, indeed, it hae bean
your fortune to be in the scene of action,
or so near it that your house has been
crowded with those who have become
victims of the strife.
It will he in your recollection, ladies
and gentlemen, that during the last of
March and in April, the rebellion aud-
denly collapsed. At that time pubiio
attention in the North was doubtless turn
ed mainly to the operations around Rich
mond, and to those which attended the
movements of the vast armies of General
Sfierman. But it also happened that God.
Wilson, with a large force of cavalry—
some sevonleeu thousand, I believe, in
number—commenced a movement from
the Tennessee river and a point in the
northwest of the State of Alabama, diag
onally across tho State. He penetrated
to the centre, and then radiated from
Selma in every direction, through one of
the most productive regions of the South.
: °f about ten thousand
inbabiant*—its defenses were carried by
assault on one of tho first Sunday evenings
in last April, the sun about an hour high.
Before another sun rose every house iu
the city was sacked, except two; every
woman was robbed of her watch, her ear
rings, her finger rings, her jewelry of all
descriptions, and the whole city given up
tor the time to the possession of the sold*
iers. It wa9 a severo discipline to this
people. It was thought necessary by the
General in command to subdue the spirit
of rebellion.
For one woek tho forces under Geueral
\\ iIson occupied that little town, and
night alter nij(ht, and day after day, one
public building after another—first the
arsenal, then the foundery, each of which
covered about eight or nine acros of
ground, and was conducted upon a scale
commensurate with the demand that the
military supplies for the war created, the
railroad depots, machine shops connected
with them—everything of that description
which had been in any degree subaorvient
to the cause of the rebellion, was laid in
ashes. Out of 6orne sixty odd brick stores
in the city, forty-nine, I think, wore con
sumed. On tho line of march you were
scarcely out of sight of some indication of
its terrible consequences. Indeed, after
three weeks had elapsed, it was with diffi
culty you could travel the road from
Plantersvillo to that city, 60 offensive was
the atmosphere in consequence of decay
ing horses and mules that lay along the
roadside. Every description of ruin, ex
cept the interred dead of the human fam
ily, met the eyo. I witnessed it myself.
The fact is that no description can equal
the reality. When the Federal forces laft
the little town—which is built on a bluff
on the Alabama river—they crossed on a
pontoon bridge, commencing in the night
to cross, and their way was lighted by
burning warehouses standing upon tha
shore.
When old Blucher was ouarterod in the
Palace of St. Cloud, in lolo, after doing
that little job at VYateiloo, which gave
hiui a free pass into Franco, and a view of
the grand house of the grand nation, he
stole seven pictures which he found in that
pleasant abode, all of them being illustra
tions of tho Bonaparto family. Two of
these pictures be gave to royal personagos,
who kindly consented to make themselves
as bad as the thief, so great was their ad
miration for art and love of “portable
property,” as Mr. Wemmick nath it.
These royal recipient* were the King of
Prussia and the King of Wurtemberg.
The other fivo pictures were placed m
Blucher’s house, where they romainod for
many year* ; but there has been a lawsuit
among the members of hi* family as to tha
ow lership of the stolen property, and it
has been legally decided that they must be
sold lor the benefit of all tho disputants.
Consequently they are to come under tha
hammer, as they once came under the
mrd.
Throe ot them are by Ger&rd, and rep*
resents—first, the present French Empe
ror, then but half a dozen years old, with
bis mother, Queen Horlcnse. holding him
by the hand; second, then Queen of Na
ples, Murat's wife (Bonaparte’s sister
Caroline), aurrounded by her children,
and, third, the Queen of Spain, (Joseph
Bonaparte’s wife) with her daughter, a
child of nine year*. The fourth, by Davis,
is a picturo of Empress Maria Louise,
holding her son, the little King of Rome,
by the hand ; and the fifth, by Lefevre, is
a portrait of the Prionces Borghese, Pau
line Bonaparte, the handsomest of all Bo«
ouparle's handsome sisters.
It was a curious pieco of fortune that
nut theso pictures into tho hands of the
bitterest enemy of tho Bonapartes.lho man
who did more than all other men to tear
the Emperor down ; and now it i* suggest>•
ed that the third Napoleon may buy them
and add them to the arliscal treasures of
France. As his own portrait, and that of
his mother, are in the collection, he if
bound to ransom those pictured prisoners
of the bluff old Prussian, who would be
both astonished and annoyed could he be
inlornied that the Bonaparto dynasty,
which he supposod be had destroyed, had
revived again, and was steadily becoming
more powerful than it was in the days ot*
tho first Napoleon. He would think that
the whirling of time bad been more than
ordinarily active, and that thero was no
accounting for the world's caprices.
The Peohpictb of Cotton.—We are
author.zed to state that one of the most
astute Hiui experienced merchants of the
South, backed by ample capital from New
York, has recently gono to Livorpool to
purchase ten thousand bales of cotton,
with instructions to hold it until the 1st of
July, 1806. The confidence of the gentle
men engaged in making this investment
in tho future of cotton, must be very
strong, to induce them lo invest three
millions of dollars in the staple at present
prices. Those who are able to hold cotton
should take into consideration tbo example
thus set them, and doterrnino whether it is
not to their interest at least to remain firm
