OUR LBCOMPTON CORRBSPONDENCE. Lecomrroy, K. T., March 12, 1868, The Indéan Reservations in Kansas. Ae the different tribes of Jndians were boughs out or @riven from the States, the generel government granted them tracts of land in the Great Weet. Those lands ‘were selected by the Indians themselves or by agents of the general government, and comprise the finest sections ef country west of the Migsour! river. As civilization rolls on towards the setting sun, the Indians upon those reserva. tiong become surrounded by ae superior race. Then the cemapd of the \stter for the rich possessions of the former becomes 80 urgent that gevernment is wonsirained again to remove those unhappy rem- wants of once populous Indian tribes further to the west. Such is the present condition of the red man in Kansas, Already several Indian titles to reservations have been extinguished, and the land thrown open to the grasping hand of the overriding white man. The Shawnee Reserve has recently been opened fer pettiement and pre-emption ; it comprises an area of 449. ‘7i4 sores of excellent land in the east of Kansas, near the Missouri river, and lying on the south bank of the Kansas viver towards Ite efflux. Fach Shawnee ladian was per. mitted to select 200 acres of land for himself, and commis- Bionere were appointed to select the same number of asres Sor every absent Indian. The government made reserva ons for its own use, and the rest of the land, being but a ‘yery smail portion of it, was opened for settlement, Ac” cording to treaty the Sbawnee Indians will become Ameri an citizens in 1860, and have the privilege of voting, sell- img their lands, &c, Many of the Indian claims are worth $6,000 & piece, and some persons here are baying them for ope or two (housand dollars,but the sale is not legal til! 1860 and the speculators buying of the Indians will be ch: ©ot of their money unless the Indians see fit to give aw aheir lends in 1860, The pledges now given and the bar- gains now made bave no legal or binding effect upon the ant 8. As some of the Indian reservations comprise not only the best lands in the Territory, but also occupy the most advantageous positions, the le of Kansas are very anxious to Lave the Indian titles extinguished. Their ex- mtence prevents the developement of the Territory, con- tinoer fe tracts of land unimproved and inhabited only by Indians, and causes great obstacles in passing ‘One part of the Territory to another. THE DELAWARE RESERVATION. ‘This is the finest Indian reservation in Kansas Territory. Kis Jocation |s most advantageous, lying as it does along ‘the northern bank ef the Kansas river and extending to- wards the Missouri river, where Kanaas obtains the firet water commupication with the south. Tne Wayandotte In- ians purchased a small portion (24,900 acres) of the east ef ibis reservation from the Delawares. Wyandotte, the fret town made in Kansas, on ascending the Missouri river, ® on land purchased from the Wyandoties by white wetticrs, s0 is Quindaro. Wyandotte is Situated at the con- fence of the Kansas river with the Missour). The De.aware Reserve at present is forty miles jong and ‘en miles Wide, comprising an ares of 256,000 acres. It Contane along We north bank of the Kaw river the best tumbered jand in the Territory, which is exceedingly vala- bie, eince timber ‘s so scarce in Kansas. On some of the fend the umber © | w be worth $200 per acre. This reserve lays be Leavenworth city and Lawrence, Detween the Missour: and Kaneas rivers, and in the east of the Terr ory, so the comumerce of Kansas, whether it be carried on by steamers or railways, must pass through it, Al) the numerous railways that bave been chartered by the Terrivorial Legisiature at ite different sessions run Mroagh or converge to this reservation. From these facts A will be seen bow valuable is the land comprising this re- rerve. Tus .s & point that should be noted, as it is important do future deveiopements. Some have estimated this re- vervavon a8 worth upon an average $100 per acre, which makes & tial value of $25,600,000. Bat sup) Jand to be worth on an average 5@ per acre, w! Jow ite res) value, We total value of the reserve would be $12,800 000. Applications have been made to Congress in the Lecomp- ton constitution, in the Topeka constitution, also in resolu fuone or petitions of the Territorial Legislature e: ie ‘varwus sessions for grants of land vy the general govern- ment to Kansas for railrad and other purposes. This body of land is consider | peculiarly advantageour for wech donation. The railroad company which should gb- fain it would be immensely rich. Or if Congi should not be disposed to give away the land, but Should ceil it at government price—one dollar and a quarter per acre—to some railroad or otber compan: aid company woald thereby become exceedingly He would pey out but $520,000, put would receive ‘worth more Wha twelve millions. Whats Qve speculation ‘thai would be! Cr should government sell tae reserve ag ‘body to the highest bidder, some company would have ‘ap equal chance to line their pockets by the purchase, ‘True, the Indian title is not yet extinguished, but that sud- ject ie now pending before the government. Are there ‘any schemers or speculators inside or outside of Washing Yon who expect lo become millionaires in connection wilh these lands’ There are at prerent avout one thousand Jodiaas in the Delaware tribe; they are sem)-civilized, imitating their etvilized brethren \o dress, drinking, chewing, smoking, &e. Some of them bave wel! cultivated farms, bat they mostly live opon their annuities. They all keep ponies, and ave seen in crowds riding into the little village of Law veuce, where they do the most of their trading. The equawe sometimes ride ip at a full gallop, with @ papoose strong on their backs. OTHER RESERVATIONS. There are numerous other Indian reservations in Kansas, ut cone of them are of so much importance as the Dela ware, either mm position or the value of their lands. The Kock: Reserve, & tract of fine prairie country, about ten mules by twenty, lies between the upper part of the Kan- sar river and tbe Missouri, in the ern part of the ‘Territory. There are several emall reservations pear the Nebraska line which are not wortby of note. ‘The Oces and Missouriag have @ reservation on the Bg Bive, ten miles by twenty five. The Sace and Foxes have & revervation of 32,000 acres. The Now York Indian Re Herve is about 108 miles long and 24 wide. It is in the southern part of the Territory. The Kansas Reserve it twenty miles square. The Vottawatomie Reserve is about iurty miles equare, There are several reserves in the routhern part of Kansas, which have not yet been eur- veyed POLITICS AND DUELLING. OUR LAWERNCE CORRESPONDENCE.

Head! A CARD. Lawrence, March 16, 1808. Since my return from a Northern tour my attention has been Called to a gubernatorial pronunciamien:a (said by the boys to be No. 4,060) , dated “Lecompton, Fobruary 6,” and signed by one "J. W. Denver, Acting Governor. ’? By President Pierce and his myrmidons I was de- nounced as a traitor and indicted for high treason. They did not dare to test the truth of the charge by an arrest ora trial, and San eee my innocence and their idiotey by quashing the indietment. By Mr. ‘Buchanan I have been charged as a rebel, and a ‘military leader ef most turbulent and dangerous charac- ter.” algo has been answered. One J. W. Denver now steps forward and charges me ‘with making “insidious attempts to renew the difficulties snd troubles,” and with an intention or design of establishing & military dictatorship. reference to the regulations and commissions of which he speaks, it will be found that “one J. H. Lane” signed them by order of the Military Board, and as President thereof. A ful! vindication of the action of that Board will be found in its report of this date, to which I respectfully refer the people of Kangas. Ago thecharge of “turbulence,” ! refer to the people of Doniphan, ', Palermo, , Elmwood, ‘White Cload, and St. Joseph and Oregon, Mo., who have listened to my speeches delivered within the past three weeks, in all of which | urged the cultivation of fraternal relations and brotherly intercourse. It is deemed a sufli- cient answer to the oharge that J desire to establish & military dictatorship, that upon four differen occasions I have been invested with the chief command of the military forces of the poople ot Kansas, and that immediately after the emergency ceased which called them into the field, paar command was voluntarily eurreniered into their e. The command | now hold wae conferred upon me by the Territorial Legislatare, without solicitahon on my part, by a unanimous vote of both branches.

The acts complained of in this insolent unciamiento were of an official character, ao signed and published. Its author bas chosen to make a personal matter out of these official acts. With him rests the responsibility thereof. Tam willing to submit my actioas, past aud future, to the judgment of the people, confident as ] am, that they will never accuse me, as they do justly charge one J, W. Denver with having, in violation ef an official oath and public duty, endeavored to throw obstacles in the way of laws deemed necessary for the protection of the rights of the citizens of Kansas, and that they will never say of me, as they do truthfully say of one J. W. Denver, that by ® miserable pretext, discreditable to any man—the excuse of a sluggard, and the crime of a soldier, to wit: that he slept when on duty—he is endeavoring 10 revent the setilement of the Kansas imbroglio by de- feating the Consti.utional Coavention movement. ‘They will never accuse me, } feel sure, of harboring the ridiculous opinion advanced and roeintained by one J.W.

One J.

The Territorial Legisiature, at ite recent session, con- ‘vened at Lawrence, pasted an act entitled “ An act for the organization and reguiation of the militia of Kansas Terri- tory,”’ by a unanimous vote in both branches. It was ve- toed by the Territorial Governor and passed by the Logis- are Ges veto notwithstanding) by @ similar vote. The tection of the organic act provides as follows — «+ © © Bvery bill which shall have the Counci) and House of Representatives of Territory shall, before it becomes a law, be presented to the Gov- ernor of the + if he 6, he sball sign it; but of not, he sbail return it, with hie objections, to the house im which it hall have originated, who shall enter large on their journal, and hed— Pree. w office under the laws of care that the lawe be faith Counc)| shall grant the person elected a certificate which ‘pall cases w! ‘8 commission i# required shail be suf- fevent to authorize we such commision. ‘The officers compoeing the Military Board were duly elected at & joint convention of the |rgisiatve Assembly Dy an aimost unanimous vote their election regularly cer. fied to the Governor under the law, and separate certifi. cater given to each member K! the President of the Coun- cil.

For objecting to the legality of that cote the people of Kaneas have beem branded by thoes persons ax ‘traitors’ and “rebel.” We do not tay that the Governor in this action ie guilty of the same crime charged upon the people of Kansas but we do say that his refusal to seve commis- jone, in accordance with law, can in no way affect eaher the duties of the Board or the legality of their action. The reeponsibiliiy of # violation of hie official oath rests upon bh meelf alone; the Board have but one course to parene.

The enrollers were neither commissioned nor non commiseioned officers, but mere laborers for the performance of that specific work, and the certificates is- sued by the Board were not, and ‘were nos intended, a8 commissions, but mere evidences of selection for the Ber- vice. But it is alleged that the enrolling officers cannot obtain their pay. This lg sbeer nonsense. The —th section of the Militia bill is as follows: — § . The officers provided for ip this act shall be al- jowed such compensation as may hereafter be prescribed | by law. ‘The Territorial jature imperatively required this duty to be performed. They have declared that ail offi- cers engaged in the performance of duty under the law shall receive such com, as hereafter be pro- pensation as may e vided by law. It is fair to presume that they will vindi- cate their own enactments, and there ia no power in this Territery to frugtrate the execution of their will.

The power to enrol, to orgapize, to call forth, doeg not necessarily attach to the position of commander-in-chief. It may be granted to him by legielative authority, but until so granted it cannot be exercised, The power to establish headquarters is with the commander-in-chief, when the militia are in the field; but there may be other headquarters for the purposes of organization, That the people of Kansas wanted a militia Fok ae to jg pot unreasonable. Their representatives believed that that organization could be effected by officers of their own selection; they therefore gave the power to the Military Board, of which the Territorial Governor is a member, and when present at its deliberations, its pre- siding officer. ‘The militie law was ee paseed, the officers un- der it eae elected, their duties clearly and emphati- cally defined; they have strictly adhered to its spirit and jotter, anc their acts, therefore, are of undonbied legal authority.

How srrogant, therefore, is the pretence, now for the firet ume officially ‘announced, that a people, even when legal forms are strictly adhered to, when the authority emanates from a legally elected body, of unquestioned authority, have not the constitational right to organize in their own way, and under their ewn officers, for the purpose of protec- ving the legal right, emanating from the Territorial Legwslatore, whose action is in strict accordance with th organic act, we respectfully urge on the generals of several brigades to preee the organization; om the enroll- ing officers to discharge with Fromet alecrity their duties under the law; and on the citizans to second them in their efforts to secure an armed organization of the people, without distinction of party or of creed. which, offisered and controlled by the people, and having for its object the preservation of peace, the <defence of their homes and the protection of their rights, will be formi- dabie only to the tyrant and the jawless marauder, In the organization of companies and regimonts the election returns for the officers should be forwarded to the Adjutant Genera), at Lawrence. On receipt of returas certificates of election will be issued by the Board, to serve ag evidence of authority until the Governor shail decide to fulfil his sworn duty as an executive ef- fiver by signing the commissions. On the subject of arms you will confer with the Inspector General, at Lawrenze; and on that of ammunition with the Quartermaster Gen- eral, at Lawrence; on the subject of surgery aud medicine, with the Surgeon General, at Lawrence.

Free State Ruffians on the Little Osage—Outrages upon the Pro-slavery Men—Stealing Horses— Robbing Stores— Running off Negroes—Burying Arms— Various Local Affairs—The Money Mar- ket— Emigration, §c. Some two months ago I intimated in a Jetter to the Hexap that the outrages committed in Kansas, if any should be thereafter, would be chiefly by free State men. That conclusion was arrived at by mix- ing freely with the rank and file and Jeaders of both parties. The rank and file of the proslavesy men were perfectly disgusted with the outrages that had been committed by ruffilans inside and outside of the Ter ritory who claimed to affiliate with them politically: They also manifested a great deal of feeling against some of their so-called leaders, some of whom they unconditionally and with unanimons voiee condemn- ed. Stung by the black record of crimes and outrages attributed to them, they seemed especially deter- mined to live quietly and peaceably, andif toeir free State neighbors wronged them to submit to it qui- etly if possible, but when their Lives and homes were really in danger to call ou the federal authori ties for protection. They carried themselves humbly and kindly towards the free Statemen. Such I have found to be the pervading spirit among the rank and file of the pro-avery party, though it is not the spirit of some execrable wretches who lay around the grogehops of Lecompton and Kickapoo. As for the leaders of the pro-slavery party, some of the worst of them had Jeft the Territory; the rest have since followed, and when last here they did not seem disposed to raise difficulties, for fear they would get the worst of it, as they doubtless would have. So, = they were under the of the United tates , they were goncetel. The rank and file of the free if party felt peaceful, but, nevertheless, very saucy. If the were touched they threatened to give a terrible — retribution; if they ever achance to fight the proslavery men again, f latter would get each a drubbi aa they never dreamed of, for there was a long, ‘dark of out- rages to be revenged, &c. The leaders of the free state party—at least such ones as Jim Lane—would do all in their power to keep up excitement and jocal difficulties. Then all the State rowdies and ruffians were anxious to “pitch in,” providing they had fifteen men to one, and “whip out” all the preety men, if the the latter had any horses to stolen or property that could be appropriated to the ase of the former. Lane is the demi-god of all woch men; be has only to nod, take one drink all around and put a tremendaous cud of tobacco in his mouth and they will do anything he wishes. He is only too willing to nod, with al) the etceteras. Hence it was evident who would be the begetters of future outrages. First there was the the assassination of a and honorable (proslavery) citizen against whom I we heard no man, of whatever politics ever, say one word. ‘Then there the outrages committed against the pean citivens of Doniphan. Next in order were the Fort Scott diffionities. It will be remembered how @ letter sentup by Johnson and Vayne, calling upon Lawrence to send them down a cannon, troops, rifles, &c.; how a secret plan was developed in that communication for taking and burning Fort Scott and that it remarked that, whether Lane went down with his men or not, Fort Scott should taken and destroyed. Lane did not go down; so much fun had been made of him a to his last expedition there, that he was ashat to Montgomery-the man notorious for breaki pdr ve boxes—however, went with his command. ey took Fort Scott, expelled the proslavery men, did just what they liked, and retired on the approach of the United States troops. Now we come to the “marauding expedition”— I use the words of the free ite men who commanded it-—which left here last month for Fort Scott. The United States troops had received orders to retarn to Fort Leavenworth. When Gov. Denver heard of the departure of the Lawrence rabble for Fort Scott, he immediately sent orders for the dragoons to return to Fort Scott. When the jing offeers Lawrence “hb * got down in that part of the one Te ae cas | country, they learned that Uncle Sam's “ boys” ole expense of | were in Fort Scott—ao, of course they dare not ¢o sce frorm } within eevera) miles of there, They retired to toe | Little Osage; and from the accounts they have given me of their deeds, it seems they committed some of the most high-handed outrages that have ever di this Territory. There were fifteen of them when they left here. “Leonhardt, a German of good education, ded them. As they pro- gressed southward their number increased; but the very first night that they encamped in the vicinity of the United States troops, they deserted the com- mander till he had not a body ere left to protect the camp. In the morning, however, they re- turned loaded with spoils, Thus, night after night the “marauders” went ont ot and stealing. They became go bold and high hande: in their operations that ozaren stopped travellers in the open day, on the highway, and robbed them of their money.

I have understood that he knows the men who were en, din this dishonorable affair, and intends to bring them to a severe account for it. The honorable men in the free State party will now know more fully what it is to feel the sting and bear the infamy of vile, disreputable deeds pertormed by wretched vagabonds who hang upon their skirts and affiliate with them politically.

After this the king receives the offerings in bis hat, and then all re- Pe ir oaths of fidelity to their god. The king then touches with the foot or hand the box which convame the snake god, when directly all the parts of bis body com- mence to tremble, and he executes the most strange an- tics. By a peculiar sympathetic effect this communicates itself to all present, although some need the additional stimulus of fafia; they then commence dancing and torow- ing their limbs into the most str: positions; terrible }, Oaths and blasphemies now follow, and the delirium increases to such a pitch that most of the poor wretches fall to the ground under horrible convulsions. The priest and bis aseistants then take them to « secluded spot near by, where, under the influence of liquor and delirium, scenes are enacted revolting enough to make even the savage gods of Africa grind their teeth ie horror. Such is the secret of the Vaudoux, which in the years 1791-92 was able w transform the apathetic slaves of one day into wild beasts on the next, and made them capable of those deeds which have been considered abroad ag un daumed courage and heroic devotion, while they were a product of their fanatical delirium. ¢ Vaudoux religion is still 80 profoundly rooted in the minds of the negroes that even the Catholic priests find it their interest not to interfere with it. Hayti offers, then, this curlous spectacle of a country where the are ‘ultra Catholics, but at the same time continue to worship the gods of barbarous Africa. Not acalf, mule or donkey is born, but what the priest must give it his benediction, while the Vaudoux mamanloi receives also an offering, lest a Vaudoux, or act of bewitching, might fall on the ani- mal and make all ite work abortive. If a negro has a peculiar wish, he brings it first with an offering to the Vaudoux god, and then, to facilitate ita suc- cess, goes to the Catholic priest, who sells him consecrated = —— and eays masses for the accomplishment of is object ‘The negro babies are Srst baptized by the pricet, who g ves them aemall brass cross, which they wear suspend- ed from thier neck; but together with it the papa-lot gives them a muman-bila, or Vaudoux charm, which takes away al the bad luck and misfortune to which a simple baptising would still have exposed the . Sach being the eect of which Soulouque is the bead, the style and tendency of bis government is understood without apy difficulty. After his election as President, hie fret care was to pre- serve himself against the tate of bis three last predeces- sors, neither of whom remained full twelve months in office. By the means of repeated offerings tothe Vaudoux god he at length ascertained that a bewitched doll was juried in the garden of the palace, and that he would be Jost unless the doll waa found and burned. 1 do not know if the doll wasever found, but the whole garden was dug over several times, and Soulouque has remainad to office and succeeded in making himseli Emperor.

ALLEGED AMERICAN INTRIGUES IN HAYTI. SAMBO’S GRIEVANCES AGAINST BROTHER JONATHAN. for the Naw York Henaco from the Port au Prince Feuille du Commerce, March 6.

This letter, a regular pamphlet in itself, concludes with some re ble | advice addressed to the merchants of New York and | Boston in relation to the affairs of Hayti.

My regular cor- Tespondence has put your readers in poesession of those facta which bave come under my observation; let me now, to finish my Port eo Prince correspondence, give yous few statements with regard to the present ruler of Fay. Since the accession of Soulouque to the Presidential chair (March 1, 1847,) mayti has undoubtedly entered upon & new era of existence, The old quarrels between Diacks and molattoes have been definitively settied by the wupremacy of the former, who always held the balance ‘of power by means of their numbers, while the mulat- twee, representing the liberal element, with all their supe. rior education and knowledge, are now condemned to bow their heads to their black masters. ‘This fact is the more to be regretted aa it has predueed S part return to the African barbarism. Bat what else conld be expected from a people whose government be. eves in witchcraft and sorcery, and whose chief is a high prieat of the most abominabie rect of Fetieh worshippere— the African Vandour? After the forcible diamiasion of Pierrot two candidates appeared for the Presidential dignity—the Generals Souf- fran and Paul. But the Senate and army, who held the balance of power, could not agree wpon either, and to cut abort all further debates, Mr. Beaubrun Ardouin proposed a third and sot-disant independent candidate, who, to his own and everybody else's astonishment, wae unanimously elected. This was Faustin Soulouque, the present Empe- ror of Hayti. Soulonque commenced his carcer in 1808 asm boot- black to Gen. Lamarre, and acted on solemn occations as hie aid-decamp. Ho remained with him until the death Of the General brought him to Petiov, who made him Veutenant. The friendehip of M’lle Toute brought him a captaincy from Boyer, and under Riché be ascended to general. Hie election to the Presidential chair found him as com mander of the guard of the prince. He was then consi. dered nnocent old fool, who, it was believed, would become a fit inetrument ip the hands of those who elected tim ‘on the following morning, when the newly “*e \coted Preatdent proceeded to church to receive the cvs. tomary benediction, already then bis friends found out that they bad ‘caught « Tartar.’ He refused obstinate. ly to elt dawn in the Presidential chair, for the reason, bee ptated, of ite being bewitched.
