There is ne-reason 40 doubt hat they would have taken their lodges with them bad they not feared the trail that would be les by the lodge poles. General Hancock determined to place a guard over the village, and gave strict opders that noth- ing should be removed, bis idea being to lat the Indians gee, if their intentions were net hostile, that so tar as the troops were concerned their feare, if shey hadany, were groundless. An imventory of the centents of the amp was made, which is as follows:— 251 lodges, 942 buffalo robes, 436 saddles, 436 traves- ties, 287 head mats, 191 axes, 190 Kettles a7 fry; 360 'tin cups, 331 tm pang, 30 whet 212 uacke af pant, 98 water kegs, 7 Al Powe hoe 23 ‘collee insils, 144 larriet ropes, 120,chairs, 303 par fleches, 15 currycombs, 07 coffee pota, 46 hoes, 81 fleching irons, 249 born spoons, 27 crowbars, 73 brass ketiles, 17 ham- mers, 5 stewpans, 15 drawing kniver, 25 Spades, goytnes, 8 fil 19 bridles, & pitehforks, 16 tea kettles, 90 spoons, 15 knives, 10 pickaxes, 1 eword, 1 bayonot, 1 Unived States mall 74 stono matiers, 1 lance, 33 wooden S120 251 door mate, 48 raw hide rapes, 22 meat stoves, ponies, 2 Sioux (very aed). and J w.visbed child, This inventory was not accomplished without great 4ifficalty, The diferent articles were scattered all over She village ; even the names of many of the articles were unknown to the officers who made the inventory, and She interpreter Dick Curtis was called in as assistant. These precautions proved uscless; for there was but Just sufficient time for the news to come from General Caster when information was received to the effect that the Indians were at their old tneks, and the long ‘Shreatened troudles had broken out on the favorite ground tor Indian depredations—the Smoky Hill route from the Missouri river to Denver. General Custer in bis report to-General Hancock states that the Indians visited the different stations of the Overland Stage Company on the 15tb, at a station now knewn as Loox. out, bat formerly designated Rathden, ‘The Indians killed three men, disembowelied them and piled logs upon the bodies, which were burned, bet not suiti- ciently to entirely destroy the work of the devils en; in the performance of the outrage. Rathden is twenty- six miles west of Fort Hayes, At Big Creek station {next west of Fort Hayes) the Indians attempted to gain entrance, but were prevented from doing so by the de- termined resistance of the occupants, when a parley en- ‘ued. The Indians were anxious to shake hands, and told the sation men, means of baif-breeda, who al- ways accompany the differeat bands on their war path, that they had been on the Arkansas, had a big talk with General Hancock, and that a peace had been made wa <n be a lasting one so far ay they were con- ae ei The Station men were very much satisfied that such should be the case, but ‘did not regard the naked bodies Witb nice paint beslobbered thereon as avy very partic- 1U ar indication of peace; so the Indian did not get in. He id, however, take from the stabie near all the stock, et ‘ire to the stable aud haystack before he left. Depre- dations were commutied at every station between Denoers and Fort Hayes, a distance of fifty-six miles. ‘This was on the 16th, and General Hancock's troops did not reach the neighborhood of the Indian village on the Pawnee Fork, nearly sixty miles distant, until the evening of the Hib, The receipt of this newe from General Custer made it @asy io account for the strange behavior of the Indians abat met General Hancock tea miles from the village. It accounted, too, tor the statement made by one of the ebiels, that some of their young men were buffalo hunt- yng, abd showed that the stories told by the Kiowas, that the Sioux and Cheyennes were making preparations for an catbreak justas carly in the spring as the weather would permit were trac, The Kiowas have been invited to join in the outbreak, but they prefer peaco—srat is, ‘they say so now, When the _ vecomes. sufliviently high to enable them to move they may talk differently. As soon as Geueral Hancock became aware of the out- ‘on the Smoky he determined to burn the village, if he did not receive news of a character that might make him doubt that tne perpetrators of the outrages were of ‘the village that he purposed destroying as a punish- ment.

Several gontlemen representing large wealth and num- bers of persons have been down here examining the lands and making selections of sites for future opera tions, One firm from Louisiana has bougnt over fifty thousand acres of land and commenced clearing it, They paid $9,000 for the whole tract, and have since sold twelve hundred acres at $1 an acre, Nor is this all; they can now sell some six thousand acres more at the same price if they choose so to do, but they defer selling more until they see bow much they can cultivate themselves. A gentleman from Mississippi has bought fifteen thousand acres for $3,500, and two others are about closing for sixteea thousand acres more at $5,000, These joe pet thee im negotiation with the owners for the 4 adjoining the above lands, for near one hundred housand acres more.

Some twenty of Escalarda’s Santa Cruz Indians went to a plan- tation near the sea took five men, who were at work there for a Mexican named Monbulla, and chopped them to pieces, piled their mutilated bodies one on the other, then set to the house and decamped.

Receipts and Expenditures ef the Represen- ‘The yearly recurrence of the “anniversary” season ‘will Dring with it to thie city next week, from all eec- ‘tions of the country, large numbers of clergymen of the various Evangelical denominations, as well as hundreds of laymen who take an abiding interest in the success of religious and charitable institutions, In order that the ‘Hevavo readers may have a retrospect of what has been done in years past in forwarding the cause of Evangelical religion, and that they may be enabled to compare ‘those results with the Gnancial exhibits that will be made by the societies at their forthcoming annual meet- ings, the following statietics have been prepared. It will be seen, especially by the statements referring to the Bible and Tract secieties, that notwithstanding tho late war made heavy drafts on the charity as well as on the patriotiam of our people, they were, nevertheless, in no wise backward im contribating to the religious objects which form one of thelr pre-eminent characteristics. Thus in the case of the American Bible Society, whose receipts di the year before the war were only $389,541, it will be found that in the year 1863 4, when the conflict was at the financial resources The American Tract in 1860-1 received from all sources $307,540; but ia. the amount was increased to $357,487, And so it is, doubtless, with every other of our relig- jous and ‘wificiot space im these columns bal nth Soyer gro poy oraineg ath this have jous truth or an las ‘Sa etree kee ulti male ; but im the exhibits subjomed sufficient can be found to show that the liberality of our citizens has Rot been lessened in consequence of the exactions «und increased floancial demands imcident to a aro 35 ris are representative organizations, denominations of the Protestant public. It may be remarked, however, that the Catholic por- tion of our teliow citizens have likewise large and intiu- ential organizations with religious and charitable objects in view, similar to those which represent the Evangeli- al Christian churches, There are the various confra- ternities of the order of St, Vincent de Paul, a purely charitable..organization, extending throughout every diocese im the country; the Catholic Protectory organi- zation, for the clothing and housing of orpiaas; the Catholic Pract Society, and many others w are well known, especially in this city, not hold anniversary gatherings; nor do they make public theircharitabie operations, On this account it is almost impossible to arrive at anything like accurate conclusions as to their finances. The following is a summary of the receipts and ex- penditures of the promment religious and semi-religious evangelical organizations :— AMERICAN HIBLE SOCIETY. wotal receipts were r $10,434,9: ‘The expenditures for 1865-6 were $623,827; leaving a balance in the treasury of $18,480.
