RED RIVER. The Progress of the Canadian : Expedition. Mysterious Fenian Move- ments. END OF THE INDIAN SCARE. Forr Ganry, July 16, 1870. Nothing of importance has transpired here since my last letter, and affairs are very quiet with the exception of innumerable rumors and specula- tions regarding the approaching Canadian expe- dition, The headquarters of the provisional gov- ernment, since the acceptance of the Manitoba act, has become the dullest place imaginable. President Riel is seldom seen outside the fort, his excursions being confined to visits to his mother and the Bishop's palace. Finance Minister, rides out on horseback every evening, and occasionally gets up a horserace between his bay mare and some fast stock belong- ing to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, Mr. sfcKay. The Secretary of State, Mr. Bunn, is attending to his own private affairs, occasionally visiting the fort, and the Postmaster General, Mr. Banratym, also makes government duties a sort of recreation from-the more absorbing business of his mercan- tile establishment. A few soldiers are quartered in the fort, and a strict guard is maintained at night. Occasionally the troops are drilled out on the prairie in skirmish practice, and once in a great while there is a “field day” of target shoot- ing at old flour barrels. ~ Meanwhile the business offiirs of the settle- ments flow along in the same , worufifed man- ner as before the Canadian difficulty, Farmers are quietly pursuing the even tenor of their way among their crops of wheat and barley and pota- toes, tagders with distant Indian tribes are con- stant; ming and going as usual with their brig- ades of ox-carts, and the Hudson's Bay Company is conducting its matters as peaceably as if no ine terruption had ever occurred. These trading bri- gades from the plains are curiosities to the newly arrived Eastern man, and remind one very much of gipsy bands. There are generally from five to fifteen carts in a brigade, but sometimes one or two carts will travel hundreds of miles by them- selves. Latterly iron bolts and nails have come lato uso in the construction of their carts, but most of them are stiil built entirely of wood, without a scrap of iron about them. The wheels have no tire, and in n smooth country will last as long as iron-bound wheels, but stony roads very soon rack them to pieces. Each cart is drawn by an ox harnessed with raw hjde, like a horse in shafts, and one man has charge of several, leading one ox and having four or five other carts following in single file, with the oxen haltered to the respective carts in front of them. Thess trains start out one year with supplies and return the next wih fors, buffalo robes, provisions, &c., some of them waking trips of t%o thousand miles to their places of traffic. Fach party has one or more conical skin tents, shaped like the United States Army Sibley tent, and when camped on the green prairie, with red blan- kets, horses, dogs, carts, white tents and lounging half-breeds grouped -together, it forms a very quaint and pretty picture. The departure of one of these brigades of carts for some remote huut- ing ground is not wholly unlike that of the whaling vessel that puts away to distant seas. Such a party left two days ago. Jt goes to Fort Edmon- ‘ton, and will be over two mouths on the journey, crossing a trackless prairie. True, the billows that ride with the wind vpou the tall grass will not engulf the train as waves may swallow a ship on the ocean, nor is there danger from sunken rocks and treacherous shoals, but the pilot who guides the brigade must be no less reliable than the skil‘ul mariner. Savages worse than the pirates of the Indian seas are to be met, couciliated, and, perhaps, fought, and many @ little mound marks the spot where some one has failed by the way, and, with no medical aid at hand, has died and been repped intéthe bosom of the prairie ae the dead are dropped at sea, . THE CANADIAN EXPEDITION is now tasting the sweets of the ‘Davison route,” and Lala Visiting more aah Pe cavons ppen Mr. Davison’s head than that gentleraan ever anti- eipated when he was compiling his highly imagi- ‘uative report upon the meaus of communication between Lake Superior and Red river. The latest advices received here concerning the ex- edition are to the effect that the first portion wiil leave Fort William on the 10th of July. The ob- atacles hitherto encountered, and which have occasioned so much delay, are extremely insigafi- | cant compared with the difficulties yet to be over- come in the swamps, rapids aud portages of the route, and if the expedition, as the Canadian papers state, is already troubled with sickness, Pehaestion and discontent among the men, what must be its condition when it shall have passed two or three weeks in those swamps uuder a ‘July and August sun? it must not be sup- posed that the troops will have cool, Pleasant weather so far north; for we have already had the thermometer up to 102 Pabrenheit im the shade out here on the breezy plain, and several cases of sunstroke. ‘Ihe heat in the swamps is intense, almost unbearable, and with the clouds of mosquitoes, which retard work by day and vanish sleep at night, the march must be attended by a great deal of exhaustion and sick- ness, and will, in all probability, not be terminated before September. No one here expects the troops to arrive before the lst of September, and those most familiar with the route predict tuat wo shall not see the expedition before the middie of that month. Governor Archibald is looked for to arrive about the miodle of August, via Minnesota, though efver what has transpired it would seem as if he would prefer delaying his entry into the Northwest until the troops get here and he can have something reliable to depend on for support in forming lis government. Ht has transpired that General Lindsay's order prohibiting newspaper correspondents from accompanying the expedition was issued for the purpose of preventing a large class of Canadian adventurers, including several of Colonel Dennis’ land grabbing ‘martyrs’? and Dr. Schultz’s fili- ‘busters, from attaching themselves to the com mand as writers fur dierent newepapers. There were a number of individuals who had been kicked out of Red River by the inhabitants that made arrangements to go with the expedition as corrospondents of Canadian foursals without com- ‘pensation and at their own private expense, in order to accomplish pereonal ends in the way of abuse of the Red River people and official tolerance of their cishonest schemes. Determined not to be annoyed by such pests, tho military commanders forbade all civilians from accompany- ing the expedition. It is now understood, how- ever, that a few regular salaried writers of lead- ‘ng Canadian papers will be quietly aliowed to go With ‘the troops, but no correspondent of any American paper witl be granted the privilege, This is said to be in retaliation for the closing of the St. Mary’s Canal against the expedition by tue American government. THE FENTANG are still active at some scheme in the Northwest, many are of the op nion that the Brotherhood still contemplates ai tacking the exp. dition, nét so much to help Red River as to get satisfaction out cf Canada tor past reverses. Fenian agents have been suddenly appearing und as quickly vanish- ing here, and a tew individuais in Winnipeg, re- ported to belong to the order, hive of Jale been conferring a great deal together in a manner that indicates the consideration of some important se- cret.

The more one sees cf the Indian the more he despises the sentimen- tality and falsehoods which have woven such a web of romance about the ‘noble red man” in the minds of Eastern people. The noblest Indian of the plains, however dignified and heroic he may appear in his barbaric dress at Washington, is at home only a brutal, drunken, half-naked and in- describably filtuy savage. ‘The cutthroats, thieves and drunkards of ¢ vilization are punisved with all manner of penalties, and no community ever gets very excited in manitesting sympathy for such culprits; but when savages band themselves together and add to every violation of statute Jawa the most horrid and revolting crimes, one- half the population of the Eastern States go into philauthropic frenzy in behalf of the fiends. and denounce the officers engaged in executing the laws and defendiog human life.

GELES STAGE ROBDERS, ns Their Arrival ia San Francisco in Charge of Detectives. if [From the San Francisco Alta California, July 25.] We mentioned, a few days ago, that the stage robbers who had committed so many depreda- tions on the Los Angeles stage route had been arrested by citizens at Nativided, who found it necessary to form a vigilance committee for their protection against robberies perpetrated in that place and vicinity, and that Captain Lees, of the detective force, with detectives Johnson and Noyes, had gone south atter the prisoners. The returued to this city yesterday, bringing with them the three men—Francis G. Claughton, Thomas Selby and James L. Burns—who are at present locked up in the city prison. Clanghton and Selby were found in charge of the authorities at Monterey, but Burns had been turned loose. As ‘the detectives held a warrant for his arrest, and, from information in their possession, believing him guilty of the crimes with which he is charged, they at once made in- quiries aa to his whereabouts, and started in pur- suit. Diflerent routes were taken, so as t@ make his escape impossibie, but it was only after they had traveiled ninety-tive miles, to ’Iuto, that be was found. He was at ouce arrested. These Turpins operat-d extensively, it appears, within the past few mouths. Their arrest arose from their having on several occasions stopped the stage of Wells, Fargo & Co. and carried off the treasure box. ‘Lhe company having determined to stop so wholesale and persistent a system of robbery, seut down detective Noyes, of this city, to hunt up and arrest the highwaymen, The tirst robbery was committed on the 4th of Jane, eight miles this side of Pluto station. On its way from | Lee Angeloa to San Juan, immediately after dark. while the stage was proceeding at its usual rate, two men stepped up to the driver and ordered him to stop. He did so, and having thrown off the cash box, in compliance with their request, he was allowed to proceed. ‘The robbers carried off the box to a creek convenient, where they broke it open and pocketed its coatents, about $100, THE WEST INDIA CABLE EXPEDITION.

Having already furnished you with a synopsis of our journey from Jamaica to Havana, I now proceed to fulfil my promise to send a more detailed account of the passage, and the nume- rous incideuts which presented themselves on the way. ‘4 TUR EXPEDITION READY FOR SEA. On Thursday, the Sth instant, all being ready for sea, the expedition of Sir Charlea Bright left the harbor of Kingston at four o'clock in the a/ter- noon, for the purpose of submerging that portion of the cable which is to unite the istands of Cuba and Jamaica, in fact to complete one of those links in the telegraphic chain which is ultimately to unite South America and the whole West Indies with Europe and the United States of America, and to place the whole Western Hemisphere in hourly communication with the Eastern world. THE DACIA. The steamer Dacia—the personal property of Sir Charles Bright—is a very large and powerful steamship 283 fect long, twenty-four feet seven inches broad, twenty-five feet three inches deep, 1,856 tons measurement, with a single screw, and having engines of 170 horse- power. She is a three-masted steamer, ryps nine knots an hour, and fs commanded by Captain G. H. Dowell, R. N. R., an experienced navigator who has been in command of the Dacia ever since she was built, and by virtue of his being an officer of the Royal Navy Reserve the Dacia carries the blue ensign of her Majesty’s fleet. On board of this magnificent steamer, fit'ed up for cable lay- ing and supplied with all the necessary mechanical appliances for such a work, all was ready fortsea at four o'clock. Sir Charles Bright was on board with a large staff of engincers, beside operators and clerks for the several offices of the West India and Panama Telegraph Company, and among others on board we may mention Senor Don Mel- chor Lopez, James Gutteres, manager of the West | India and Panama Telegraph Company; J. R. France, L. C. Hill, J. Barrett, P. Tarbutt, E. Webb, C. Goodwin, L. Dickinson, comprising the engineering staff of Sir Charles Bright; F. L. Rob- inson, Dr. Greenaway and Captain Du Bois, late Lieutentant Commanderof the United States Navy. THE SCENE ON SHORE. At given signal the Dacia moved steadily down the harbor of Kingston, followed by the West India and Panama Telegraph Company's steamer Suffolk. Hundreds of persons who had congregated on the wharves and on board of ves- sels lying at anchor inthe stream to watch the departure of the expedition cheered lustily as the cable steamers glided down the harbor to Port Royal. There wasa grand display of bunting in the harbor and principal thoroughfares of the city, while the British ensign floated proudly over the observatory of the Commercial Exchange and the Custom House and the national colors over the several foreign consulates in Kingston in honor of Sir Charles Bright and the enterprise which is 50 shortly to bring us within hail of the mother coun- the guardship on board the Dacia with a compli- meatary message for Sir Charles Bright, and after put out to sea preceded by her Majesty's steamer Vestal. JAMAICA FROM THE SEA, Sailing along the coast in a westerly direction the view of the mountains to the east was enb- Nmely grand; for, while the setting sun was cast- ing his golden beams upon the green foliage of behind them and above them a terrific thunder storm spending its fury in the glen below, the the serenity and sunshine so immediately below. As the Dacia got out to sea the heavy machinery of her deck (which we will afterwards describo when it comes to be worked) caused her to roll heavily ia the swell, and every now and again there wag a perfect hurricane of falling crockery and glassware in the ship's pantries as the Dacia rolled first upon one side and then on the other. with some letters, Oa the Ist of the present month the stage was again robbed about a mile anda half from the lace of the other robbing, by two men on horse- back, towhom the box was delivered as before, On the 7th of July Wells, Fargo & Co. sentdown detective Noyes, and in six days he got on the track of the robbers in San Luia Obispo county, about fifty miles from the place where the robbery had taxen place. Following them up he reached Cambria, where he found that a vigilance com- mittee had been formed by citizens for protection agrinst anorganized gang ot robbers who had been running off stock and committing other depredations. He ascertained the names of the two'men and also that a boy, a courin of Claughton’s, had a know- ledge of the robberies. This boy was found at Natividad, where he lived with a class of lawless desperadoes, and brought to San Francisco. About this time the stage was again robbed, and the robbers were captured by the vigilantes. This robbery occurred going to Los Angeles, and the arrest of the highwaymen is mainly due to the strategy of the driver, Tilford, who changed with other drivers and kept on the track until they reached Nativi- dad, where they were captured. One of the prisoners, Burns, came to Natividad that night, and claimed that he had beenrobbed. He was shown the men, but failed to recognize them; he thought, however, the horses, looked like those of his assailants. While this cooversation was going on @ man came up and identified Burns as a0 ac- complice of both Selby and Claughton, and he was locked vp. The detectives state that the country, for some distat.ce around where the rob- beries occurred, is infested by gangs of desperate men, who invade farms and carry off callie, and commit all kinds of atrocities, making the orgaul- zation of a. vigilance committee necessary for the protection of life and property. Tho warrants sworn out in the United States District Court here, upon which the arrest and removal to this city of the three men, Cliughton, Barns and Selby, were made, charge them with obstructing the United States mails, and they Lave been brought here to be tried before a federal court. ANOTHER TRAGEDY IN IANO CITY. Prisoners Brenk Jail—Virearms Used=Several Persons Wounded. [From the Boise City (Idaho Territory gtates- man, July 23.) From a gentleman who arrived from Idaho City yesterday aiternoon we gather the following par- ticulara of another fearful tragedy at that place:—On Thursday, about twelve o’clock noon, a squad of prisoners, well armed, who had evi- dently previously arranged their plan of escape, made a break for the gate. Those of the prison- ers who were not in the secret were forced into the grate with the keeper while the others coolly walked out. Tue first shot was fired by one of the prisone {aman named Peter Rush, one of the guard, wi o endeavored to oppose their egress. Rush was dangerously wounded in the hip. By this time the alarm liad been given and the citi- zens of the town hastily collected together such arins as they could lay their hands on and started in pursuit of the prisoners, who had run for the hills and sought refuge in the ditches and ravines, Considerable firing took place between them and the citizens, and in the conflict two prison-rs, Por- ter and Bradley, were wounded, the latter mor- tally. After a severe fight the prisoners were fina)ly overpowered, with the exception of one, who was still at large at the time our informant left. In all about eight escaped from the jail. The arms used by the convicts were part of a col- lection sent to the jail at the time of the Hol- brook murder, when the officers of the institution feared an attack from the outside. Porter, one of the prisoners engaged in this affuir, had his trial ued on the ground: insanity last May. there is method in such madaeses This ‘continued during the greater part of the night, and, of course, there was but little sleep enjoyed by avy one on board in consequence of this wholesale destruction of dishes. : A BREAK DOWN. On Friday morning, the sth inst., the sea was calm as a millpond, and the sun rose upon the ex- peoeee steaming along the west coast of Jamaica in the same order as it started from Port Royal. Shortly before noon the Vestal telegraphed. ‘our | position thirty miles to the east of Little Cayma- nas, and just as this signal was being read we were taking a last glimpse of the highlands of Ja- maica, just where the Dolphin’s Head—some 3,450 feet above the level of the sea—rises upon the horizon. At about eight o’clock the same even- ing it was discovered that the Suffolk had fallen considerably benind the Dacia and Vestal, her light only being visible; but at half-past eight o’clock @ green light and a rocket from her brought progress to a halt. The Dacia and Ves- tal turned back to eee what was wrong, and on coming Ke Captain Barrett announced that one of the Suffolk’s engines had breken down; that it would take four hours to mend, but that having a twin screw he would “go ahead” with one en- gine only until the other was repaired, thankful that the trouble was no greater than four hours could remedy. At four o'clock on Saturday morning the repairafwere completed, end the e. edition proceeded again at full speed for Ci egos. ARRIVAL OF THR EXPEDITION AT CIENFURGOS. On Sunday, the 10th inst., about noon, the ex- edition entered the harbor ot Cienfuegos, which is difficult of passage, but being successfully pi- loted, the steamers anchored about a mile from the city, which presents rather a picturesque ap- pearance from the ship. The harbor is large, and the difficulties of navigation were painfully evident from the great nervousness of the Spanish pilot who took in the Dacia, and who assured us thet never before within his remembrance had steam: ers of such leogth entored the harbor of Cienfue gos. The lighthouse at the entrance of the har- bor was perhaps the most striking feature of the view as we approached “the city of a hundred fires,” and being #0 very different from the light- houses which Euglishmen and Americans are ac- customed to gee. The first meat after dropping anchor in the harbor was to communicate with the Heratp by cable, and announce the safe arrival of. the expedition so far, but us there happened to be cholera, yellow fever and smallpox raging in the town and all the surrounding districts, communication with the shore was prohibited, lest infection might be conveyed on board some of the steamers of the expedition, but we managed to get a telegram ashore, and the Heratp was accordingly in pos- session of the intelligence. From information which we gathered from the best informed sources, we learned that cholera had broken out ainong all classes of the inhabitants, but proved most destructive on the plantations, where some proprietors had lost, in about three weeks, some seventy percent of their laborers, The disease was sudden and of very short duration, for, from the first symptom, death gencrally set in in about an hour and a half. In the city i‘self there were from twenty to twenty-five deaths per day on an average, THRER HOURS ASHORE. With the special permission of Sir Charles Bright, to which permission, however, was at- tached some stringent conditions, your cor- respondent was permitted to land at the Custom Houso wharf, with Sir Charl«s and the chief of his engineering staff, Mr. J. R. France, Civil Engineer. We were conveyed ashore in that wonderful little steamer belonging to tie Dacia, the Beatrice (named after the youngest daughter of Sir Charles Bright). Inthe city of Cienfuegos a visitor is first struck with the peculiar construction of the houses, there being nothing in outward cee ‘ance to indicate a public office from the residence of @ private gentleman. are chiefly houses of single fate, the rooms very lofty, with an exchange of these courtesies the expedition | lightaing darting down the gorges with a magic | the Port Royal Mountains, there was immediately | the Boar. try. On the arrival of the expedition at Port | hes Royal Commodore Courtenay sent an officer of | large, open windows, only protected from the street by ornamental ironwork some five feet broad and eighteen fet ngs. Inside these houses a double row of rocking chairs are placed at ono side of the room, facing each other, and as visitors are reseived they seat themselves on these += pager oa one side, gentlemen on the oth r. Every man out of twenty whom I met was a volunteer, who walked about the streets with a cockade in his hat or a star on his sleeve, to indi- cate the regiment to which he belonged or the raok which he held among commissioned officers. Theard, the morning [ went on shore, that the Spanish mail steamer had arrived during the night from I ana, and being anxious to see some newspapers for the news, I inquired where Tecould see any late dates. I was assured that | there were no English or American papers to be had in Cienfuegos at all; in fact, they were pro- hibited altogether, I could get a look at the Diario dela Marina, of Havana, or some of the Cienfuegos papers; but as these contained | ing like news I came out of every house f j inquired at quite disappointed. But as I walked along the Custom House wharf, preparing to go on board the Dacia without getting at a paper, & rather curious looking Spaniard put his hand on my shoulder and drew me aside, and, with a pecu- liar sign, a+! me if I was an American. said no, I was an Englishman--it was a moment's hesi- tation, but he beckoned to me, and I followed him, wondering what ail this meant. I was taken to a large store and led into a back room, where, asTentered, three American gentlemen and an Englishman were sitting, and seemed a little un- easy in consequence of my intresion; however, we soon understood cach other; they were all engineers, belonging. to the district, and a couple | of tiles of the New York Heratp were put betore me in regular reading room: style. Isat there | for an hour and read the papers through, and re- | turned again to the expedition big with intelli- gence, OFF TO HAVANA, On Monday eveniag, the LOth instant, we ac- | companied Sir Charles Bught to Havana, where he had to inspect the iand lines and ar- range some matters with the Cavtain General and the telegraph officials in refereace to the West India cable.

STRANGE SUL A Crawford County Husband Shoots Himself in His Wife’s Presence=Domontic Lufolicity the Alleged Canse. [From the Leavenworth (Indiana) Independent.] Our community wasstartled on Sunday morning last by the report that Milton Williams, & well kuown citizen, of this county, had committed suicide by shooting himself through the left preast with a Colt’s revolver. From the attending sician, Dr. Hawn, who wasealled upon to v: | unfortunate man, we learn the particulars of this | deplorable afiair, On Priday last Mr. W., who re- sided a short distance below Fredonia, sepa- | rated from his wife, Myra Williams, equal | division of the household ots. having been meade, the wife retaining possession of the only child, an infant a few months old. The separation seems to have been desired by both parties, as they could not live harmoniously together. ‘The best of feeling geemed to prevail between them at the time of the separation, After the wi'e had taken her depariure to the house of brother-in-law, North Goodson, who resides near Magnolia, in this county, hi emed to re- @ret the step that had been taken, appeared des- pondent and low spirited. This, however, was not noticed particularly by h’s friends. On the Sun- day morning following Williams went to the resi- dence of Mr. Goodson, where his wife had taken up her quarters. and inquired where she was. He was informed that she had not arisen, and was shown the room where she was asleep, He went to the room aad, approaching the bedside of his wife, asked to kiss the child. It was handed to him by tho mother, who asked Mr. Williams for money to bny the child some clothing. marked, “Myra, I come to tell you —,” and before completing the sentence, he drew a Colt’s revolver trom his pocket, and, placing it to his left breast, fired, and fell to the floor, with the blood gushing from the wound. The alarm was imme- diately given, and medical assistance sent for. The ball had entered the left breast, just above the nipple, and, rangiog upward, passed through the upper part of the lung, lodging behind the shoulder blade in such a manner as to render it imposeible to extract it. The wound will un- | doubtedly prove fatal, though the wounded man exceedingly regrets nis rash act and is very anx- fous to recover. Daring the war Mr. Willia was a member of Company C, Seventeenth Indi- aua Volunteers, commanded by Captain Press J, O*Baonon, and was one of the best soldiers in the regiment. Reports were circulated Sunday morning that Williams had been aseassinated; but they were soon proved to be false by some of our citizens who visited the scene of the tregedy.
