The Indian War. 22,000 SAVAGES @N THE WAR PATH. The St. Louis Republican’s correspondent | With the Indian commissioners, writing trem Omaha, says an officer who has just arrived, ater traversing the country from Big Horn river, estimates the hosilé Indiens of the north at twenty-two thousand. mest of whom are under the sway of Ked Cloud, the chief of the Upper Brule Sioux. Several hostile tribes are now concentrated about Rose Brule, on the nerthern *lope of the Rocky mountains, between the posts of Fort Phil. Kearney and C.F. Smith. Red Cloud is reported by Iron Bull to haye eaid, “We do not want peace, because when ‘we are at peace we are poor, now we are rich.” Large numbers of Indians are congregated at Fort Rice to meet the peace commissioners on their trip up the Missoart river, and were greatly disappointed when they learned that the commissioners were obliged to turn back. A letter from Fort Larned gives an account of a council between Colenels Murphy, Butter- field, and Winthrop, asd Saniahee, the head chief of the Kiowas,on ‘he 1Uzh tustant Santa- hee professed the greatest iriendship for the whites, and promised w send runners to tne different southern tribes, calling them to a council with the peace commissioners in Uctoe ber.

They were given a third siory room, the only door of which opened in- to another room, where Mr. Chapman and a police oflicer Kept guard. The Intter heard nothing and knew nothing of her auempt to escape till morning, when they learned the cts. It seems the night porter of the house seeing A rope dang.ing fromone of the win- cows, suspected that thieves were at work. Two watchmen were therefore stationed where they could manage things, and if the lady had descended on the «ight rope” as she intended te dc, she would have fallen directly into their arms, though they were not aware that she was 8 prigoner at the time, but supposed it was merely a hotel thief. But she didn't make the dercent. She had two male friends out- side, who found out that the plot was dis- covered, and signalled to her to desist, and of course she heeded their warning. Although she was undoubtedly one of the pickpockets who tbrove so finely at Brattleborough last week, the pocket-picking for which she was arrested was performed iu Boston @ year or two ago. Sbe was then arrested, and was sbarp enongh to secure $2,000 bail, When she fled to Canada, where she remained antil quite recently. Her first return to this coun- try will be likely to result in @ permanent stay. RUMORED ALLIANCE OF RUSBIA WITH THE UNITED STaTEs.—A correspoudent of the Pall Mall Gazette, at St. Petersburg. writing on the 28th ultimo. says: “The Swedish Squadron, which came to Cronstadt the other Gay, was received very coldly, and the for- mal compliments paid to the officers by the Ruseian authorities contrasted strongly with the cordial entbucissm shown to the American squadron under Admiral Farra- gut. The American officers were invited to dinners and fetes every day, and the Grand Duke Constantine gave a magnificent banquet in their honor In his palace at Palowek. The splendor of this reception give some color to the rumor, which is very prevalent here, that “nm alliance is comtemplated between Russia 4nd the United States in view of certain con- tingences which it 18 supposed may lead to war. However this may be, it 1s certain that Jarge quantities of arms have been purchased in the States by the Raesian Government, and ‘that all the military arsenals are hard at work. itis expected that war will be originated by an ineurrection of the Slavs in Turkey, with ‘whom the moet open sympathy is expressed, both bere and at Moscow. Committees have been firmed with the avowed purpore af as- sisting tbe Slavonian aubjects of the Porte to liberate themselves from its rule, and large sums have alresdy been subscribed in ald of the «Bulgarian iueurrection.’ SB Detailed accounts Of the loes of the little sehooner John T. ford are published.

It would appear that a more terribi aim bas never been invented. None bat the artillery officers who direct the experiments are aware of tbe construction of these guns. They are brought on the ground in leather coverings ; even the ammunition and cur- Tigges are carefully concealed. The prac- tice takes place behind scsffolding. The on'y jact which has transpired is that thece guns project a perfect shower of balls on % target two yards in beight, and mea- euring three ‘feet across, at the enor- mous distance of 2,500 yards, each ball pene- trating the half-inch ‘iron target. Twenty rounés can be fired per minnte, and the gan, ile carriage and the ammunition only re- quire two men for their transport. It is also stuted that they are moet easily handled. Prus- cia bas heard of these guns, and has sent some officers to Mendon for the purpose of finding out all about them. They disguised them- selves in blouses and gray liven trousers, «0 as to preeent the appearance of German work- men in search of employment. They were much pleased te find several Alsatian work- ™men near the exercise ground, witn whom they entered into conversation in German. ‘The Alsatians talked about the gune, gave tbem some details, and asked the Prussians to take a glass of wine ata neighboring cabaret. Some drunken men were there and got into a Tow; the police entered, and, as usual in euch cases, arrested every one in the caboose. Much to the amazement of the Prussian officers, they discovered their quondam friends to have been mouchards, disguised like themselves, as workmen. This discovery they only made ia precence of the Prefet de Police, who politely Tequested the officers to return to Berlin b: the earliest train, which they naturally prom- ised todo. Thus has Bismarck for once been outwitied. Temperance Every one interested in the welfare of the human race, must witness witb gratification the growing interest which is every where re- vealing itself in the temperance cause. Our exchanges, received from all quarters, indi- cate that the movement inaugurated last win- ter among the Senators and Congressmen at Washington 1s havinga very perce] le ef- fect. Temperance organizations nre spreading leagues are being organized, and the pulpit and tbe press are putung forth earnest efforts to arrest the growing evil of the day. Thesa and not political organizations, are the legitimate agencies for combating the evil and insuring reform; and the friends of temperance should not attempt to clog and weigh down said organizations by compelling them to fight heir battles tor them, anden- deavor to achieve, by forcible restraint, what should be left for moral suasion to accompli=h. The Washington Chronicle says we find Re- Publican leaders “loading the party down with probibitory liquor laws, and Sunday laws, and excire laws, all of which alienate numbers who are earnest Republicans in re- spect to national policy.” General Howard deserves great credit tor his efforts in promoting the cause of temper- ance among the freedmen. It was feared, with good reason, at the close of the war, that many of the blacks having suddenly acquired their freedoni, would become indolent, and, asa vat- ural result become intemperate. ‘General Howard, alive to this danger. began to organ- ize temperance societies among the freedmen, which Bave extended far into the Southern States, and now embrace thousands of mem- bers. ltcannot be deried that intemperance has become a national evil, and must be vigorous- ly combatted in order to prevent its further extension. In 1862 the New York Chamber of Ocmmerce computed that there were at that time $100,060,0U0 gallons of epirituous liquors consumed in the country. The war agera- vated the evil and aeyeloped a fondness for drink among thousands wo would otherwise bave never imbibed of the bowl. and it is now esnmated that we expend =400,(00,000 anuu- ally for intoxicating liquors. ‘There are now in the eingle city of Chicago alone, 22.0 dram shops or one for every iui inhabitants, men, women and children.
