Vour telegram was received to-day,
nml has been tramwiitted to Lieut.
General Sherman, who i- authorized
to take the measures deemed advisable
under the l ircumutanoes mentioned by
you. If yon will communicate with

Gov. Hunt as follow - :
Sr. laicts, May 29, 18(57.
There is no law to pay volunteers,
hut you ought to raise a regiment of
.700 men, and have them ready in ease
I call for t hem. I w ill lie at F’nrtKedg
wick in a few days, and don’t believe
yon w ill have trouble with the Indians
if your people will lie arduously pru
dent.
W. T. Smkjima v, Lieut, Gen.
A fight has occurred at the mouth
of the Lapodc, on the north wide of
the North I’latte,lietweeo one hundred
and thirty Indians and fifty white men.
The Indians enticed them and surroun
ded them by tire, but they escaped by
swimming the North Hatte. One
white man was killed and one woun
ded. (Jen, Augur's command consists
of 250 Indian scouts and one regiment
of cavalry. Me lias started on the
road to Denver, and has advanced
-forty miles already after *he Indians.
The expeditionary forces have not
much baggage with ihem.
The Attorney General is said to be
ist ill considering whether, under the
reconstruction act, a military com
mander can remove eixil officers. The
very best thing that erudite lawyer
can do is to consider, lie will find if
extremely difficult, it not dangerous,
to reverse Phil. Sheridan’s precedents.

Governor Orr, of South Carolina,
advises the acceptance of the present
plan of reconstruction as the best thing
for the State. Coupled with this ,
sensible conclusion lie ventures an
Utopian recommendation to the citi- i
/eiis of his immense State to form
alliances with neither of the great
political parties of the country, but to
stand magnificently by themselves
advice which is harmless, however
impracticable /‘/ill. /Ves*.

To the Republican* of the Union.
The National Union Committee apjieals
|to the Republican* ol’ every State, for
their ri-si-tance ami eo-o|>eration in this
.'Uisjrieions crisis of our country.
We deem it of the highest importune
that the Republican* of each State should
immediately reorganize for the remaining
elections of !*(i7, preparatory to the com
ing Presidential contest. K-pecially should
thi- organization lie immediately effected
in tfiosi State- which have never before
recognized as the only .just bn-is of govern
ment the equal and inalienable rights of
] man. Not a day should be lost in forming
and strengthening within those State-;
a public sentiment in con«onance with
tin principles which underlie the great '
Political organization to which we belong.
To this end. we de-ire t" prosecute a
systematic and thorough eanva-s of tin
Southern States, by the nn>*t efficient
speaker* of both race-. We would second
their efforts by a distribution of docu
ments, enforcing the principles, policy
and aims of the Republican party. We
would call, in every locality where it i
possfble, meetings for discussion, where
tbos who are with u- in principle may
1 learn to act with unity and cm nrgy.
, These measures are required to bring out
I the vote of that large lxxly of Kepublii an
I Unionist- who now render the Southern
j States a tattle-field of principle. It is the
j pressing need of the hour that bold, judi- .
I cions and able men. thoroughly imbued
1 with our creed, should there explain our
I principles, establish our faithfulness to
] them, and prove that national gre.itnt—
I and human freedom depend upon the per
■ mancut triumph of our cause-.
1 Beyond this, it is most essential that we
shmtld now establish in those- State-.
Free Thought, Free Speech and a Fre e
Press. Every part of this Republic must
\ ta ope n to the; discussion of principles
1 and measures. This must ta -ii-tainod. a*
j a cardinal point in our crctsl, at any and
' every hazard. Effort- to intimidate tlie
] humble and ignorant voter on the purl of
the Southern planter, must lie met with
i the spirit of freemen, nnel the determina
tion which a just cause sanction*.
In time p»*t. the Republican party Ims
-truggleel iignin-t the unjust re-proaeh of
I I wing sectional in its aim* and character,
i though it- purposes and it- means of effpe
j ting them were -ueh ;i* tin father- of tin
Republic approved. It was accused of
1 icing governed hy selfi-h motives, and of
: desiring to aggrandize the North at, the
j expense of the South. Its adversaries, j
I having the power to silence and to crush
all opposition, denied iff! discussion, and
1 overawed even freedom of thought in fif
teen States of the Union. It is, therefore,
now and imperative duty, which we owe
to our party a»d to ourselves, to embrace
] the tint opportunity of truly representing
i to those States how consistently we have
] contended for the interests, welfari and
j freedom of the whole Union.
The overthrow of Slavery and the Ri
i tallion, and tile enfrnm hisemcnt of the
freed men, rendering this overthrow
! eure and final, have liajqiily vindicated
our course and organization; but it i
! necessary t>i -tump tlie conviction of mu

i-trn< ted States. For the first tini Ln main
year-, the enthusiastic follower- of our

and in many of the Southern State-, we
| liav reason to Is-lieve that they form a
decided majority. They are, however,
' without organization, and lack the eo
j lie-ion and discipline necessary to success.
Throc lburths of the Republican- have
never voted, and have no practicable
knowledge of tin- means whereby the
pojiular will i- e.xjiresseil. With'many
ot them, the habit is fixed, of rendering

politicians who an implacably Wtilc to

Our immediate action i- tlieielore im
peratne. We cannot delay without im

' sacrificeil in tie- pa-t. Confident in our
strength in the North, the West, and the
Pacific States, we must not forget that we
have a great duty to perform toward tlic,
! loyal and true men of the South.
] Republicans! our appeal i- to you. to i
i tarry on and sustain ifie work w hich a
] few loyal and true men have so nobly lx
gun. WeeanTiot ask -Jieakcrs. in addition
j to giving their time and talents, for liiontli
j to this labor, to defray their own neccssarv
1 expense*. We cannot print and distribute
documents ot the character nsptired w ith
] out a heavy outlay. We have no means or
reliance except upon the generous spirit of
j that great party which holds the claims of
Humanity and Freedom above all price.
The patronage of the Government brought
| into power by the statesmanship, the
j murage, and the loyalty of that parte,
j w ill not aid us in thi- good work.
W| must, therefore, appeal directly and
; personally to you. If you are rieli. Jgivc
generously. If poor, send u- whatever you
can afford. The generous purpose and
the noble aim sanctify the humblest ef
forts. At all events, aet promptly, -md
let us feel that the sympathy of the Repub
lican party i- with us in our purjiose of
making thi- great hind the home of true
Republican principle-, were distinction* of
race and color are unknown, and w here
Litany, Virtue ami Intelligence from the
enduring ba-is of our greatness and pros
perity.
