on the Smoky Hill route, and threaten to “ wipe 
out” all the whites in that region. 
The Cheyennes, northern and southern, to¬ 
gether with the Arrapaliocs, Agallala and Brute 
bands of the Sioux, arc about to meet in the 
Smoky Hill country for the purpose of holding 
their Great Medicine Lodge or Council. It is 
thought that the deliberations at this council 
will decide the future attitude of those tribes 
towards the Government. 
The N. Y. Tribune of Ang. 18, publishes a 
Leavenworth dispatch, which says: — “ Reports 
from Forts Sedgwick and Laramie confirm those 
announcing the burning of seven trains north of 
Fort Reno and two between Fort Laramie and 
Bridger’s Ferry, besides other depredations 
by the Indians. The officers report their com¬ 
mand insufficient. 
Indian guides also report a battle at Fort 
Reno, in which from thirty-five to forty soldiers 
were killed, and that the Indian war has com¬ 
menced with untold fury. 
The 18th U. S. Infantry have been repulsed 
north of Fort Reno. Hundreds of emigrants 
are .fleeing from the mountain valleys for safety.

thanking him for his services, Maximilian ex¬ 
plains that the change is made to secure unity 
and the pacification of the country, and says 
that it is in harmony with the mission ol' the 
Empress, and demonstrates that the Govern¬ 
ment acta in accord with its glorious allies. He 
then appeals for harmony of action aruODg the 
people to sustain him,

National Union Convention.— On the 14th 
of September there was an assemblage of men in 
Philadelphia representing the several Senatorial 
and Congressional Districts in the States now 
represented in Congress as well as from the 
States lately in rebellion, and, as yot, unrepre¬ 
sented in that body. The Convention was per¬ 
manently organized by the selection of the Hon. 
James R. Doolittle of Wisconsin, as Presi¬ 
dent, with Vice-Presidents from all the States 
and Territories included in the American Union. 
The assemblage embraced men heretofore acting 
with both of the prominent political parties of 
the country, who, in point of talent and influence, 
were equal to any body of men who, for years 
past, have associated together for the promotion 
of a political object. This was declared to be a 
speedy and full restoration of all the States to 
their rights of representation in Congress under 
the Constitution of the United States. The pro¬ 
ceedings were entirely harmonious, resulting in 
the adoption of a Platform and an Address, 
having for their object the accomplishment of 
the purpose which called the Convention to¬ 
gether. For the character of these our readers 
are referred to the political papers of the day. 
From Cuba.— Havana datCB of the 14tb, say

ters who have been twice or more times in jail,

with the state of affairs in Cuba that he has ten¬ 
dered his resignation. 
Canada. —There appears to have been an un¬ 
easiness of late felt in Canada concerning the 
movements of the Fenians “ on this side,” who 
are getting ready to have a grand pic-nic on

special says “the Canadian authorities continue 
preparations to resist the Fenians. Troops at 
Quebec are ordered to he in readiness, and arms 
for 10,000 Canadians are being manufactured."

A Miserable Life is led by the Dyspeptic, 
for his complaint not only prostrates the body, 
but produces a gloomy state of mind and an irri¬ 
table disposition. While many articles are re¬ 
commended as curatives of this disease, none 
have met with the success which has attended 
the use of Dr. Jaynm’s Alterative, in con¬ 
nection with Jayne’s Sanative Pills. The 
Alterative purifies the blood, gives strength to 
the digestive organs, and imparts a healthy tone 
to the system; the Sanative Pills change the 
vitiated secretions of the Stomach and Liver, 
and stimulate these organs to healthy action. By 
the combined action of these remedies, many 
radical cures have been effected, and they are 
therefore confidently offered to the afflicted. Sold 
by all Druggists.
