Louis itepubtican, Aug. 18 Yesterday evening we had the pleasure of wel- coming we Wm 8. Ketcham, of the Sixth In- fantry,U. 5. A., direct from Fort Laramie. Capt. KK. has been ordered into the Siates upon business eins te the service, and brings his lady with im. He has for some timo past been in command of Fort Laramie, and is probubly as intimately ac- quainted with the Indians around the i'ort as any officer that has ever been stationedthere. A large mumber of persons from the Fort and vicinity have come into the settlements and this city, most of whom will return this fall. The emigration to California, Salt Lake, and Ore- £", had commenced passing the Fort before Capt. «left. Sickness had almost entirely disappeared; but there was the usual amount of quarreling and diffianitinc amang th mice. At the Pure cue was up abundant supply from tho surplus of the government stores, of flourand meat; but the post ‘Was not prepared to supply sugar, coffee, &c. There was, however, no destitution among them Abcut a day's jouney from Fort Kearney, a couple of men, in pursuit of buffalo, got astray from ther party. when they were overtaken by some In- dians. The Indians approuched them, and offered te shake hands; and as the white man, a Mr. Daily, offered his hand, holding his gunin the left, the Indians attempted to tuke it from him. As he jerked sway and turned around, the Indians shot him through the body, and he expired soon after. A shot was fired at his compunien, but without ef- fect. The Indians then retreated, taking the mules of the party with them. The companion of Daily buried him as well as he could, in the sand, and came into Fort Kearney, when Captain Whurton, of thet post, sent out a detachment of men to trace, if possible, the Indians, andixter the body. Capt K. was unable to learn the name of Daily's com- panion. This affuir occurred on the south side of the Platte, and it was not known by what Indians the outrage was committed. Tha party, coming in, were detained some days at the Big Blue, by high water. The grass on the plains was abundant, and the health at Forts Laramie and Kearney was exoclert. . ‘The Late Indian Marder. [From the St. Louis Republican, Aug 18.) Capt J. E. D. Couzins and officer Page yesterday returned to the city on the steamer Clara, having ia oharge the four white men who recently committed the murder of the Delaware Indians on the Plains, and whose names are Joseph Dodge, alias Joseph Anson Vincennes, Samuel Smith, alias John Shuney, John Fulmore, and Henry Smith, alias Jonn Hol- land. It will be remembered that the three first named were arrested bere om telegrapbic informa- tion received from Independence. Holland was arrested at Liberty. Officers Couzing and Page took their privanors to Liberty, Clay county, for the pur- of having them examined; and this being over, he four were brought down again on an order of the United States District Court. From the evidence adduocd at the examination, we ascertain the fol- lowing to be the leading points of this atrocious affair On the 2d of July last, John Shuney, together with the State’s eviience in the case, whose name is Jacob Fulmore, deserted from the United States _ called Fort Massachusetts. Before arriviog at ‘ort Mackay, they overtook Vinceones and Smith, also doserters, and the party travelled together. Having gone four days without food, they killed a mule which Shuney had brougdt along, on which they subsisted fora while. Toey afterwards met some Arepahoes, and subsequent.y a train of Mr. Bent, from each of whom they obtained relief. Anived at Fort Mackay, Smith and Vincermes went into it with the ivtention of giving themselve: up, while Fulmore and Shuny proceeded. The next day, Smith and Vincennes, mounted on mules, and ac- companied by uy Indian, aged about twenty years, and a squaw, again joined them. The white men had changed their minds about giving themselvos up. The frdians were wealthy in horses, packs, &¢ ey had travelled sevora! days, when nnally, hay- pg*stopped at ten A. M., o-e day, for the purpose of recruiting, they arranged a temporary camp, and took their dinner. This ended, Fulmore proceeded to the watering place, about one hundred yards distant, leaving the remainder of the party at camp We will lot Fulmore tell his own story:— When I left the camp, the Indian lay on the ground with his head on the woman slap, ‘Chey were on a knoll « litte above me. 1 remained away rome fifteen minutes, and ¥ce stooping to get some water when I heard the women exelaim, “Oh. don't John” Rising to my feet, I Lae s fuil view of the party, and saw Shuney strike the Incicu men with a gun stock. Vincennes alxo drew off, and struck the woman with a frying pan. The man was knocked down five orsix times. Sbhuney next got out a raror, and starid towardthe woman. Tho witness then goes on to state that, at that stage of the murder, having become alarmed, he to ride off, but was ordered threaten- ingly back by his comrades. The body of the In- dian man was drugyed to the roadside and conceal- od. The wowan, ulso, having been battered on the bead, and had her throut cut with the razor, was dragged to one side, and left there, under the pre- sumption that rhe wus dead. The property of the Indisne wa. then sppropriated by the whites to their own use. It consisted, he says, of thirteen head of mules, seven deer and clk dressed kins, two now rifles, two new blankets, pack eaddles, paints, dried meat, Ko. The party then proceeded to Council Grove, and subsequently, “at Independen ling the stolen property, and dividing the proceeds here — there, whenever the opportunity presentod itself. But the woman was not killed, as had been sup- posed, and after the departure of the party, hud suf- ficjentty regained her strength to begin her arduous Journey on foot. After a slow march of several days, she met some Caw Indians, who furnished her with @ mule and provisions, aud on the day of the exam- ination at Liberty, che was brought into Court eo muoh debilitated that she had to be carried.

For several years past they havo been waging a murderous war upon the half: breeds of Pembina, and they have now commenced killing and scalping the white people settled in that remote region The etate of affairs iv Pembina deraands the in- stant action of government, and we have no doubt but our vigilant delegate in Congross will immodi- ately bring the subject befure that body and the President, and that both the executive and legula- tive departments of the national government will make efficient and immediste provision for the pro- tection and security of our disteut frontier. To doubt this isto charge our government with egre- gious folly, improvidence and orceity A strong military force should be sent at once to Pembina, and the Indians in that far of region should bo taught that they have yot to learn that the United States is a poworful uation, pursuing with determination, and punishing with severty, any people, civilized or savage, who venture to make war upon its citizens, or those enjoying its protection. Died, in New Haven, of cy:entery, on Sabbath evening, August 22d, Dr Alncas Monson, aged eighty-nine years. Dr Monson graduated at Yule college in 1750, and at the time of lis decease was the oldest alumnusof the coliege.. A sketch of the life and times of the subject of this netice would reach back into the stirring socaes of our Awerican revolution. After teking his coleyiate degree, he joined the American army, end served as assistant surgeon till the close of thewar. He was with the Connecticut line neur West Point, sad thence he was sent with "a detachment of 1,500 men to scour out the refugees from Movrisania. Embsiking in whale boats at some {Stay on the Hudson, they passed in the night with muffled oars under the guns of a British seventy-four undiscovered by the which on deck, though they heard him crying the hour, “ten o’clock and all is well.” The detachment ef- fected a landing, and a warm action with the enemy ensued at Harlem Heights. In this skirmish (or whatever it may be called) Dr. Monson was exposed to the enemy’s deadly fire in the 9; field, too busy with the wounded to thik of himself, un- til Licutanant Henry Daggett, alarmed ut his exposure, arrested his attention by a call for tne officer of the day, at the same time exclaiming, “for Heaven’s sake, Doctor, protect yourself— youare the only surgeon on the ground, and we shall all be in your hands directly.” He wasimme- diately removed by order of the officer of the day, and pla ced behind a rock, against the other side of which the bullets were raining their leaden shower. Doetor Monson has been heard to remark that that was one of the severest days of his professional ser- vice, he having extracted some sixty bullets, besides erforming such other surgical operations as the ex- igencies of the bloody time eae Doctor Mon- sen was also at the siege of Yorktown. But not now to speak ‘icularly of his revolutionary ser- vice, we may briefly remark that it was active and perilous. After the war, Doctor Mon-on tock charge of the smallpox hespital in the viciaity of New Haven, where he served with mach erédit, as possibly some few of our citizens may yet 1emain to testify. With the carnings of his profession he next entered into mercantile pursuite, and was concerned to some considerable extent in navigation and for- eign commerce. His punctuality 1n #il bis promises acd bucimces cugegemonte hud early given him an exaggerated reputation of wealth aving, how: ever noquired a moderate competency, he ratired from commercial life. He was then elected Pre: dent of the old New Haver Bank, which office he heid for a long term of years, and afterwards he was successively chosen to the like office in two ce £ Jar institutions —New Haven Couricr, Aug. 2 Fenrrat or tur Late Mrs. Tayior —The re mains of the widow of the late President Taylor were borne to the Protestant Cemetery yesterday. from the residence of Colorel Bliss, on Royal streot, accompanied by an escort of relatives and friends. All the officers in the army now in the city were present at the obsequies. Among them we noticed Colonels Myers and Hunt, Major Coffee, and others. There were also several of the officers of the State government,—but not one of the civil officere of the tederal government—so far ss our observation ex- tended. The Rev. Mr. Goodrich officiated on the cecasion. The ceremonies were of the most solemn and impressive character. Of the family of General Taylor, there now survive Mr. Richard Taylor, tho only son of the General, who is a sugar planter in the parish of St. Charles, and Mrs. Bliss, the Indy of Colonel Bliss, who resides in thiscity—New Orleans Delta, 18th instant. Horrisie Accrpent.—The Hamilton (Ohio) In- tellsgencer says, a boy in Beckett & Rigdon’s paper mills met with an accident that will probably cause his death. The boy was left in the room oc- cupied by the rag-cutter, and, had been play- ing with the t ape that his arm, getting entangled, was wo up with the hemp, and his body offering resistance, fastened him so firmly to the shaft as to tear bis left arm out at the shoulder. When he was found. his arm was crushed and bound by the hemp about the iron, entirely dis- connected from his body. His legs were still en- tangled in the hemp, his lefs thigh bone was broken, there were several deep gashes in his right leg. and a gash ten inches long in the right groin, laying the intestines bare. Fueitive rrom Justice.—A man named Reuben R. Shell was taken to the police cffice of New Or- leans, on the 17th inst , by an officer from Alabama and one from Texas. He has just been arrested in Alabama, on tho charge of having murdered a man in Cass county, Texas, in May, 1451, aod will be re- moved to where the crime was committed as goon as practicable. According to the account of Shell, the man who is said to have been murdered by him, was stabbed in a grogshop row, and died four monthe afterwards. a TovrnaMentT.—A grand tournament came eff at Capon Springs, Ya., on the 20th inst.

The whole affair was beauti- fully gotten up. and caine off ina style ef excellence far surpassing the expectations of ‘ail who partici- peted — ‘The tilting was performed on the lawn im- mediately before the Mountain House. The por- tico was literally crowded with spectators, exhibi- ting all that fancy could paint of youth and beauty. One gentleman, not so expert in tilting, was un- borscd, affording an agreeable novelty to the scene. The fancy baileame of during the evening, and was a truly brilliant affair. 1 Bove not time, how- ever, at present to undertake a description of it. Imvortant Arnest.—We learn from the Troy Times of Monday, that the deputy United States Marsha’, Bowman, made an important arrest, at the United States Hotel, in that city, on Monday, in the person of Charles Viele, a rosident of Surato- ga, ay on the charge of counterfeiting gold and silver coin. His sister is now in Ballston} ton the charge of passing counterfeit money, and the father and the rest of the family are residents of Still- water, Saratoga Co. The privoner is now in the Renseelacr county jail, by virtue of the warrants issucd in that and Baratoga Co., on the charge of ssing counterfeit bills; also on @ warrant issued by the United States District Attorney.

Artymer ro Ros THE Mari. —The stage coach coutaining the mail was stopped near wae y= land county, Virginia, on the night of the 2d, by two men, who demanded money of tho driver, who replied he had none, but would give them the mail, and pretended to reach down in the front boot, in order to hand it out to them. Ono of the robbers becoming impatient and expecting @ trick, com- menced cutting at the driver with a knife, when, as the laet and only resort, the driver took bis water- ing bucket and dashed it into pieces over the head of the nearest highwayman, and called for a pas- sengor who was in the stage asleep, for nasistance, when the bighwaymen both quickly decamped. oh with fire and water, and ia- as £0 much gunpowder. The next step ws to satisfy the passengers of®board of a steamer that the persons in obarge of such boiler are competent and trustworthy, and that he, or the owner of the steamer, bas given good secu- rity that he will not exceed the preesure of swan allowed by the inspe: tors; and, for further 100 acd detection of negligence or misconduct on the of the engineer or persons in charge of the boilers, les there be placed in several of the most conspicu- ous parts of each steamer, for the inepection of pas- sengers, acommon syphon mercury guage, ivdica- ting the pressure of steam in inches or pounds, aod not under the control of, or accessible to my, but a sworn officer, whose bouuden duty it shall be to pro- sccute the cngincer’s security st any time he may find the mercury blown from any of the guages, which might have a reasonable range—eay five pounds or inches abeve the inspector's given sure of steam—murked upon such guage, which would be umply sufficient to make it peacucable. The mercury guage is the most simple and ble that steam pressure oan be measured by, and cen be understeod by a child. Place a mercury guage in a case, difficult of ac- cess and highly penal for the attewpt, which would, as certainly as anything human, empty at five pounds greater pressure than is allowed by inspeo- tors, and consider that a forfeiture of $300 is ut- teched to tho act, by the eecurity ofthe engineer, and nine-tenths of the explosions and burniog of steamers will be provided against. It is not requiring too much of the propristors of steamers to ask that they will employ competent and trustworthy officers, aud give the peoeneecs some guarantee in the observation of the guages; and, together with inspector's limit of steam, that their hives will not be trifled with, particularly as the passengers expect to pay proprietors all the ex- tra charges for so doimg. I would have the guages as plentiful as the mirrors, and as sightly, if neces- sary. Tho effect of emptying a mercury guage by pressure, would be a slight discharge of steam, arousing the attention o! ns in the vicinity. The most objectionable and disasterous feature the present management of the steam engine is the low trickery and secrecy observed in concealing and making false guages, &c. If the public think with me that they have a right to scan the character, qualifications, or actions of the man in whose hands they, in a measure, intrust their lives ,when they chose to be in the vicinity of the present irresponsible and murderous maa- aged eteam engine, they will cull on the govern- ment, or the owners of steam engines, and de- mand some responsibility. The writer is a prac- tical engineer of twenty years experience, and is ready to comply with the foregeing suggestions for safety, and give a good bond in ten thousand dollars, for two years, to prove the practionitlty. thereof. AMES COCHRANE, No. 8 Tenth t. Engineer. Accident om the Erie Railroad. THE EDITOR OF THB NEW YORK HERALD. ‘« Some things can be done as well as others.""—Sam. Patch. Sir—Although nothing will ever be done to pre- vent accidents on railroads, something must and may be, to render the recurrence of such accidents much less frequent. The accident of yosterday was evidently caused by the breaking down of a cast iron driving wheel of the locomotive. These driv- ing wheels showd be of wrought iron, as all such wheels are on all the English railroads. About tho 20th of July—the 19th perhaps—an accident oo- curred on one of the Eastern rcads, I forget which, iu consequence of one of the driving wheels of the locomotive engine giving way; and much destrue- tion of property, and some loss of life ensued. This was acast iron wheel. Were wrought iron wheels substituted for theese eact iran onag, no accident, would occur from tho breaking down of the wheel, for they could not broak down. Sir, most respect- I yours, Geo. Woopwaxp. 1) Ferry Street, New York, Aug. 25, 1852. The Brooklyn Sunday Trading Case.

Wepnespay, August 25—6 P.M, ‘The stock market was very unsettled at the opening this morning, but there was great activity in all the lead- ing fancy stocks, At the first board Canton Co. advanced. 4a per cent: Stonington, %{; Reading Railroad, 34; Hud- son River Railroad. *{. Floronce and Keyport declined 3; percont; Nicaragua, 2!;; Cumberland Coal, {; Dauphin Coal, 34; Rochester and Syracuse, 14; Norwich and Wor- | costor, 34; New Haven Railroad, }¢; Northern Indiana Railroad,'}{. At the second board N. J. Zinc advanced 1% per cent; Erie Railrond, 1{, Nicaragua declined 34 per cont; Cumberland Coal, 1; Harlem 4. There wasa more active demand for moncy to-day, and five per cent was about the lowest rate at which loans could be made, The banks bave succeeded in putting up interest, by calling in all loans made at lower rates. This is one of the causes which has depressed the stock market. Nicaragua has been seriously depreciated by the misunderstand. ing existing between tho steamship company and the transit company, and it is porsible that for a time the line will be slightly damaged. It looks as though both parties were biting their own nose off to spite their face. This contest will have one good effect—it will dis- tribute the stock and bring in a new class of operators The eteamehip Africa, for Liverpool, carrtes out POs2- COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS. 1 648 Am epeole, ‘There was a fair Gemand for foreign ox. change to-day, but ear Last quotations were noveustained, tales of sterling bills having been made at one eighth per Cent less. ‘The steamship Asia, from Liverpool, brings three days later intelligence. The news is, in a commercial and’ financial point of vicw, favorable. Quotations for cotton have been firmly sustained, and there had been a very active demand for breadstuffs at an advance. The weather continued bad for’the growing crops and for har- vesting, and the potato disease had spread to an alarming extent. This isa confirmation of the news brought by the steamabip Atlantic, and we may look for an active time in our owm markets. We have no change to report im financial affairs. Money was exceedingly abundant, but quotations for stooks were tending downward. ‘The receipts at tho office of the Assistant Treasure of this) port, to-dey, amounted to $150,060 ; payments, $10,023 02—balance. $6,505,400 05. The receipts of the Wilmington and Raleigh Railroad Company, from November 20, 1851, to August 6, 1852 (less than nine months,) have been $264 200 23, as fol- lows :— ‘Through passengers, 21,009.,...... $195 609 ¢8 Way do | £0,086 76 250 GL Freight. 03.245 93 Total. $564 209 22 ‘Thore are notes in ciroulation, purporting to be issued at the city of Washington, by banks which bave no exist- ence.

Thore is no euch bank in Washington, and mo persons know wio is reeponsible for thoir redemption. We learn from tho last annul report of the Atlantic and St. Lawre: ce Railroad Company, that the roud is now open to Northumberiand—122 miles—and that the grading cf the residue of the line is nearly finished for the mein track, to the bridge to be constructed scross the Connec- Hicut river, thirteen miles from Northumberland. From the Connecticut river to the proposed junction with the Canada road, st Irland Pond—14% miles—the work of | rading is in such progress that the track will not be de layed on that portion of the line. The diztunce from Portland to the junction and connection with the Cavada road is one hundred and forty-nine miles, ‘The whole amount exponded and charged in the gene- ral construction account, is $4,242,825 24, This aggre- ate includes the amount of $2,826.175 38, expended prior 10 July 1, 1851, according to the last anaual report of the treasurer, The receipta into the treasury from assess- ments on shares to July 1st, and credited to capitals ock. amounted to $1.827,201 24. Received from the sale of City of Portland Bonds, $1,796,000 Received from the sale of bonds of the cempany, including those issued to Wood & Black, under their contract, $916,500, The whole number of shares of the capital stock of the com- pany now stand'ng on the books is 13,566, making $1,- 855,600 ; collected, $1,527,201 24; balance due on stock, $28,308 76, Almost the entire amount of thissum may ‘be relied on as available means. ‘The gross earnings of the road, including mail pay and rents, for the year. are $184,068 71. Net income of the road for the year, $87,825 46. During the year ending June 50th, the number of miles run by the passenger trains was 118,792 ; miles run by freight trains , 75,807 ; miles run by gravel and wood trains, 8.066. Total of miles run, 205,666. Average receipts per mile run, $0 89 499-1000 ; expenses per mile run, $0 46 794-1000, ‘The exhibit of business is rather unfavorable, but not discouraging.

Since May last, there has been seversl ups and downs, sevéral spocu- lative excitements, eeveral moderate sized panice; but they have not affected unfavorably the sound invest. ment stocks—such as those of the general or the leading State goverpmente. Within the past three er four months a great many new stocks hare been added to our list of fancies, which have experienced the usual fluctua- tions of an excited murket. Very few really good State stocks have been offered. Holders have not been disposed to part with them, even at the advance. One cause of this firmness and inactivity is, the dificulty ofre-investing the proceeds in anything paying better rates of interest, Meney has becn. and still continues, so cheap and abun dant, that it has been impossible to get over five per cent on temporary loans, At prevent prices, our Lest six per cont public stocks do not net more than that rate; but thoir security being undondted. capitalists have preferred thot rather than resort to any change in the investment, with the hope of getting higher rates, Tailroad bonds bave within the past six months, absorbed an immense amount of capital. It has, however, beon our accumula: tions, and not money withdrawn from other securities, Tho low prices at which many of the new issucs of railroad ‘bonds have sold, have attracted capitalists, and the mar- ket has been most liberally supplied with the raw materi- al. It has been estimated that, during the past six months, an average of at least haif a million of dollars of railroad bonds have been put upon the market weekly, Most of thew lave been sold at auction to the highest bidder. The sales have, im most in- stances, been peremptory, and great sacrifices have been made. Where bids have been received under sealed envelopes, the result has not been much ifany better. Many of the new class of railroad bonds have beov sent to London and the principal European markets, Remittances have been made to a great extent: both on domestic and foreign account, and all sorts of financiering have been adopted to get these securities well distributed, An immense quantity of railroad iron has been purchared in England, and payment made in railroad bonds, Pricer paid for the from, and prices re. ceived for the bonds, have been comparatively of little consequence, the grand object having beon to get the iron and to get rid of the bonds. ‘This is all-very well, s0 long as it lasts. We give paper promises to pay and got hard iron for them, tho real stuff. We got the real for the unreal—a substance fors shadew, and tho opera- tion is, at all ovents, for the time, immeasurably in owr favor, Whet the result will be, ultimately, we leave for thove Immedictely interested to determine, That there has been an over issue, or rather a too rapid issue of ruil- road bonds, no one cen don; but there is now a pause, For some weeks past the movement has alinost cease, and it te berely porsible (hat the lull may last long enough to enable hove ceanpanies stready formed! to etengtbon and consolidate their affairs, before new projoots, of 6 rival character, come into the market for aid to enable them to enter the field of competition If 60 all, or ta- ther most of the companies now in operation, may witi- mately prove productive. If mot, and the increase of roads and reilrosd bonds continues fur any length of time, at the rate reslized within the past twelve months, there will be before the lapre of manyuyears.as great a railroad revul-ion in this country 96 ¢ver took place on tho other side of the Atlantic. < ‘The annexed statement exhibits the operations of the French mint, in Paris, du the year 1651:— Couace ar tHE France Mint, Panis, 1661. ir Value of the gold coinage. .
