the iktmewt of te people now inhabiting

n i~al t the time of going to press, so
tkht bar readers may be aware of what is
. j ing in the outer world. Literary os
ays had miscellaneous articles will be in
ited, thus making our paper a welcome
vistor at the fireside circle.
Personalities will not be indulged in; as
we believe it to be the province of a jour
nalist to pursue an independent and
straightforward course, and while we shall
speak freely our sentiments on all subjects,
we shall courteously extend to our oppo
nents the sam;, privilege. [Believing that
politcal demagogues have well nigh ruined
oureountry, we shall not make our paper
organ of any clique or faction. The
prise is ourown, and as we are under
hife of no man or party, we will labor
*la'V aftErtre btitat, of none, but rla
belfoi stated, cosane our efforts to the
Tanceennt of the itterests of the people
j whom we look for support. As a jour
nalist, we shall indepmndently give our
yiews on all national questions as they af
fect the American people. This we shall
do ai an American citizen, whether it
iebe a eat or proroke 'a frown from the
powers that be. And finally, it being our
object to publish an independent (not nen
tral) paper, we hhall leave it to our read

gw.eieaentr-in fact, were the creatures
that formed it. The poweir coferred on
the ent by th States, are clearly
defined in te constitution, among which
is the right of declaring war, fori trea
ties, establishing post roads, regulating
urrenty, c.,hile all power not dele
is,gated to the general government, remainer
govemrent-in fact, were the creatures
ti*t formed it. The powere conferred on
ithe govStates or the people. This latter
clause i only neatitution, and eplanatory,whi
urrency,t shows how anxious were Fathers to dle
gated to the general government, remain
with the States or the people. This latter
clause is only negative, and explanator,
-but shows how anxious were the Fathers to
preserve the rights of the States, that to
make "assurance doubly sure," this latter
clause was inserted - as for instance, A
owning 200 acres of land, sells 100 to B
this he eonveys by deed of general war
ranty. Now, it is not neeessary in the con.
veyance of the 100 acres to B, that he in
serts a clause in B's deed that he (A) re
lerves the remain.4 10l'- ,'b only olds
the 100 ny his deed, but it shows caution,
and a fear that the general government
might usurp the authority of the States.
The States are sovereignties within them
selves, having the right to make their own
laws through their own legislatures; their
own Judiciary to explain them, and their
Executive to enforce them. These powers
must not conflict with the Constitution of
the United States or of the States, if so, the
Judiciary so decides, and they are null and
void. The beauty of our government, both
state and national, is sueh that, if properly
administered, there need be no conflict be
tween the state and federal authority.
Indeed, while it is the duty of any citi
zen to yield obedient and willing obedience
to the laws hf the land while the same are
in force, yet all of us being in States, look
to the State and local authority for protec
Stion. Do we lose a horse, we apply to a
maistrtat- or "a vwrr-rt, ald 1Jy avLthoriy
of the power of the State, and at the ex
peuse of the same, try and convict the
transgressor, and thus protect society
against future outrages. So it is with mur
der arson, etc., showing the importance of
state governments and local authoritisw.
And we can go farther, and say that inI
as matters arfecttg hs w tooat finuerags of
the States, that they as well as the Gen
eral Government should be the judges
of their own grievances, or to put- the
proposition in another form, if by the
government is meant the President. and hy
the State the Governor of the same. Then
neither are the judges, except it be a ques
by the constitution. But, in all other
eases, the judiclary-the oourte-that
branch 6f the government created for the
turpose and being the competent tribunal,
is the only power or arbiter whose decis
ions are binding; and those deeision when
aade are the law of the land, and binding
m every citizen.
But it may be said that he who argues
tor St.. Rights is an enemy of the general
government. Let us see about that. We
think he only is the frien~ of the govern
ment, who obeys the laws of his country,
both state and national, as explained and
interpreted by the courts.
_ But," says one Mr. Ames, "this being
our opinion of our form of government,
had South Carolina a right to secede ?"
Our answer is forthcoming: No. Why
not ? .imply, because when she agreed to
adopt the federal constitution there was no
clause in it giving her that right, therefore
she impliedly if not expressly agreed that
he would not
But, again, suppose that majorities
ample on the rights of aioritie,
e general government interferes with ilhe
rights of the States-in other words " pute
in its shovel where it should not "-what
then is to be done 9 The answer is easy;
the rights of the States and the people as
well as a redress for the grievances, is w
the government, not out of it. The con
stitution itself provides for its change,
either by three-fourths of the States,
through a convention of the same, the gen
eral government having no say in the mat
ter; or by a requisite number in Congress;
here is the mode of redress.
" But," says the objector, a the eoesary
number of State or Congres wmao4 Mot

This bring us to mnothe pan of the
subject which we shall speak o in a fate

The tel aph bri*gs a u uuI this

we glean the following as most ~aliable:

Turning to the Army of the Potomao, re
oently there has been no heavy fighting;
Lee and Grant, owing to the extreme heat,
are apparently content to let their armies
rest and reeruit their exhausted energies
preparatory to future desperate strugies.
Petersburg remains in about the same ion
dition while the rebel raid into Marylan,
which .Enl two objects in view, one t
threaten Washington and cause Grant'
army to be withdrawn from the front anr
thereby relieve Richmond, and the othel
to fill their " acks" in the Shenandoal
Valley. Grant paid no attention to thi
movement, but kept his eye on Richmond.
They got some plunder, and lost a good
deal; burnt Chambersburg, Pt.-probabk

ties surrendered it over a year ago without
resistance. We simply note this to show.
in what high estimation the southern sol
dier holds his northern pretended friend.
Their forces, badly harrassed by our troops,
are retreating down the valley of the She
itndoah.
Nothing is going on at Charles
troops are occasionally firing on Fort Sam
ter and thaowing shells at the rebel works,
just to let them know that they ar about,
and then waiting to give the rebels time te
repair damages, get under cover and wait
for more bombs. Along the ooast at Beau
fort we hear no news, and will wait for the
'"shool marm'I ' report from that quarter.
XTM arg some bt bwhaekers in. Im
tuoey and Missouri. Missouri apears to
be unfortunate-the trouble is with her
own people. They have never forgotten pol.
ities; keep running after this leader ad
that, until their houses are burned, their
property carried off and themselves mur

she will have no fear of raiders.
now we turn to the indians. We hav
long looked for news from General Sully
but he is slower than "the seven-yea
itch." May be he don't want to " kil th
goose that lays the golden egg." HiR
preparations at St. Louis were on a giganti
cale this spring, and judging from -
number of hid boats loaded with t
going up the river; one would think he w
going to war with the British Empire, a
did not expect to return for years. He
probably got up to the mouth of the Y
iowotone, and maybe built a fort, proba
sent some troops to the mouth of the
Horn, who will remain during the win
They will have no fears of being
preached with pick and shovel by
Sioux. Sully may meet a Sioux, but
he catch one," that's the rub."
In the meantime the Indians of t
plains, having banded together, are co
aitting all sorts of butcheries on the d
fenceless inhabitants of Western Kans
burning hous, stealing horses, etc., whli

O• ih -atnt linebla tqMRn , We
we have no news from the States. Several
of the stations along the line were in th4
hanis of the Indians. The company har
drawn off their stoek to places of greater
s:ifety; trains have been attacked and sert
e killed. There is said to be few troops
along the line. There are plenty of people
in Colcafdo to clean out these "breech
clout gentlemen, if the anthoities will
give them a chance. Should they need any
elp, we have plenty of old mountaineers
up are who will take a hand
Our plan is to let out the IndiJn war by
contract to the lewest bidder. If the Goo.
em.ment don't understand this business, let
,her sell out to somebody that does. Our
-eople Tave looked on these Indian butclh
lriee about long enough, and if thy dt-:'t
cea~ , wmi soon take the ini.,r into th:.
own hands. If the Indians are all ba.iited'
together angtlsst the whites, as i'wreported,

soraleec, tried to get some of thea to come
in the eamp; bet could not be in
duced to do so, whik fct went far to show
to all acquainted with Indian customs that
they were bent on mischief. Still, as most
of the men composing the hain were anx
ious to avoid having diculties with these
Indians,-it wa decidod that presets should
irst be a&de to tbem, and that o, recoiving
thea they should b_~ gaWldalt . ?"
Theputae, ae also those persona who knew
something about Irdians, expressed at once
their disapprdbstiao at these proceeding,
they being in favor of at onee ehargng
upon and driving thbe off. Fiaaly, the
Indiahs were treated to a hand oIee break

chief stuck his lane "ic t'h r . .-id and the
wartiors gatherinrr tuo Lt 'rg tog take

,w-e had gone "but a few miles from the
camp to hunt for a stray cow, had not yet
eturned, and that the Indians had prob
bly murdered and robbed him. Dr.
Crepin immediately proposed to rai-: ;:
company for the'purpose of going out and
acertainiag his fate, and putting spurs to
his horse declared that if nobody followed
he would go alone. Six mounted men at
onoe joined him and a number on foot
under the lead of the guide ascended a hill
which commanded the road. The Indians
were in sight but they kept quiet until the
brave little band had gone about two miles,
when suddenly the Indiana rushed down
he hills and surrounded them. These pro
ceedings were being watched by a nsaber
of persons with the greatest anxiety; the
odds were so great against them that
searcely a hoio could be entertained of
seeing them return alive. Hearing the

halted and seemed to consult together for a
few minutes when the Doctor brioeiy told
them thatyiey had better prepare for the
worest that their chances for escape were
few, and that they might as well kill as
many of those devils as they could, and
then die like brave men. The men did as
they were told, and the little land was
seen. eopg like a th.mnerbolt amaost
mtaa iiesr ts. Tha Doctor was seen
-mlling one Indian by the hair, his own
.orse and that of the Indian running to
ether like two well trained hounds. Tlhe
toctor told uk afterwards that the Indian
was killed, M h.ka shot him through the
heart and w&g trying to get hiss ae it

name we do not know, and who fought like
a lion, eame in with an arrow through his

around the corral on fire, it reqnirad a
large number of men to quench it; in the
meantime fring at long Tange was done
from the hill, possession of which had
been taken by the boys. The Indiana kept
hovering around until four o'clock in the
afternoon, when they departed thirty less
in number. The emigrants had to regret
the loss of four men killed, eme of whom
was found with eleven awrows and thre
