and devastating war, snd an expenditure of

It appears that the^Icdians are in a starving 
condition. Game having entirely disappeared 
from the country, they are compelled to kill the 
stock of the people or starve to death. By 
doing this they come in collision with the set¬ 
tlers. Already blood has been shed, and an 
intensely bitter feeling on the part of the Indians 
is manifested. Stringent measures should be 
immediately taken to prevent a general war. 
If hostilities arc fairly commenced, all the 
bands will be involved, and together they can 
muster between four and five thousand warriors. 
Troops have been sent into the country and sev¬ 
eral volunteer companies have been organized. 
Orders have been given to issue rations to the 
starving Indians, with the understanding that 
they will be stopped immediately upon the com¬ 
mission of any depredations. 
The St. Louis Democrat of Oct 11, says the 
latest advices from Montana, report that forty 
miners out of 6eveuty-flve in the Green Kiver 
diggings were killed by the ChcycnnCB, and the 
others driven away. The miners were also 
driven off by the Sioux, and compelled to fly to 
the nearest forts for protection. Large numbers 
of Idaho and Montana miners had arrived at 8alt 
Lake to spend the winter. They report that 
very rich mines have been recently discovered in 
Montana and Colorado.

damage was done, and one family of six pereons 
and another of three, were drowned. 
A gold mine is now being worked in Portis,

There is much smuggling carried on now

A large number of Justices in Louisiana have

Famine In India. 
A correspondent of the London Times, 
writing from Calcutta on the 11th of August, 
6a j- g; _«'Thc city was being so crowded with 
paupers, and a pestilence was so imminent, that 
the Municipal Commissioner and one or two 
merchants organized a committee, and, on Mon¬ 
day last, a public meeting of all classes was held 
in the Town Hall to rtfise subscriptions. 
Official reports were read, giving statistics 
which, completed to date, show that at twenty- 
two places 17,475 poor are dally fed, in addition 
to the sick in the hospitals; and os this number 
is increasing by about 350 a day, it may be 6aid 
that 20,000 starving people are now subsisting 
on charity dally in Calcutta.” 
Reports from other localities are even more 
appalling. Bays the same authority: — “ Think 
of 000 dead bodies being picked up in the streets 
of Balazore in one morning (many of them hav¬ 
ing lain several days.) Half the truth has not 
been told. The last return from Balazore shows 
708 deaths in that one little station in the week 
ending Saturday, the 21st, (August,) and if yon 
treble that number for the many who became 
the food of the jackal and the vulture in the 
lonely Jungle or ditch, you will not go beyond 
the sad truth. It is ominous that the Board of 
Revenue has ceased to report deaths.”

The past week has been an admirable one far gather¬ 
ing the fall crops. Potatoes are being rapidly gathered, 
and owing to the great breadth of land planted the yield 
will probably not be much, II any, short of an average, 
notwithstanding the reputed prevalence of the rot. In 
apple* the supply Is short and price* rule high, bnt the 
deficiency la not as great as was anticipated. There Is 
coutariety of view* expressed a* to the quantity of mar¬ 
ketable corn likely to be realized. Some think that the 
frost has diminished the crop one-third, others a fourth, 
and so on downward to even less than this. No doubt 
considerable damage to the crop bas been done, bnt it 
should be recollected that much more ground was plant¬ 
ed to this grain this year than ever berore, hence the 
de.fieoncy will be less, we apprehend, than Is anticipated 
by many. The breadstulf market Is less excited than It 
was a week or two since, but prices arc without any 
change worth noting.

A Natural Curiosity. —In a cave in the 
Virtud, in the southern part of the department 
of Choluteca, Honduras, there is a natural curi¬ 
osity, called the “Fountain of Blood.” This 
fountain consists of a 6t,ream of fluid resembling 
blood, which drops steadily from the roof ol' the 
cave upon the floor beneath. It forms pools of 
coagulated matter tipon the floor, and imparts 
its color to a small brook which flows from the 
cave. The liquid has not only the color, but 
also the taste and smell of blood, and when ex¬ 
posed to the air for a short time it corrupts, and 
emits a very offensive odor. No satisfactoty an¬ 
alysis has been made of it, and various theories 
have been advanced concerning it.

Indian Affairs. 
A late Leavenworth dispatch to the N. Y. 
Tribune contains the following 11 The Powder 
River Road to Montana is infested by Indians, 
who are daily committing the most fearful dep¬ 
redations, for a distance of seventy miles, be¬ 
tween Powder River and Fort Laramie. There 
is hardly a mile that has not its newly-made 
grave to tell of a recent murder. Fifty men 
were killed in six days. Parties are compelled 
to fight against ten times their number ol' sava¬ 
ges, and no one is safe unless traveling in a train 
of one hundred or more. 
The Indians are upon the war path in good 
earnest, nnd^with their sabres, revolvers and 
rifles just obtained from the Treaty Council at 
Fort Laramie, are determined to close the Pow¬ 
der River ^pute. There are only 350 mounted 
men at Fort Reno. The Indians know this, and 
are with .boldness stealing stock by wholesale, 
burning trains and murdering emigrants. One 
man, pierced with 37 arrows, had his hands and 
feet cut off, aud body terribly mangled. Three 
men descending the Missouri River were cap¬ 
tured, killed and scalped by the Indians. Their 
names were Robbins of Maine, Wooden of 
Minnesota, and P. W. Gveeke, unknown.” 
The N. Y. Herald’s Washington special of 
Oct. 13, soys intelligence from New Mexico indi¬ 
cate an outbreak among the Indians, which, if 
not arrested at once, will lead to very savage
