Arriv- ing at about eloven o'clock this morning, tho troops, to the number of about 250, were eral Davidson and his officers all behaved with great nerve and gallantry, though the occa- sion was trying in the extreme, MORE FIGHTING EXPECTED, This may be said to be the commencement of the arbitrament of this Indian question by war and 4 sound thrashing, and it has fallen to the luck of General Davidson to lead off in the initiative of action in the field. Addi- ational forces have been sent for, and will arrive here in a few days, when a good deal of fighting will padoubtedly be done. To-mor- row may be a busy day for us, but the Indians will doubtless be overcome. About two hun- dred of them are under arms here. INDIAN PROPELTY CAPTULED. The day's victory by General Davidsou se- sulted in the following destruction of Indian property after the camp had been captured and burned :— Eighty lodges, lodge poles, lodge skins and all the camp utensils, with a full supply of ammunition and rations. Their ponies and Squaws were the only things saved, and these they secured by running them off. THE INDIANS TO BE FOLLOWED UP. The hostile Indians will be pursued hence up the Wichita with unswerving force and relentlessness. General Davidson has en- deavored to avoid this bloodshed with com- mendable magnanimity, by endeavoring to effect a peacetul settlement of the question; but a bitter war is now imminent. Captain Thomas Little, Lietutenant Wilson, Colonels Gain Lawson, Lewis H. Carpenter, Major Woodward and Lieutenant Kelly, with Captain Viele and others deserve mention for courage and gallantry. TREACHERY OF THE COMANCHES. The most significant thing is that while no unkind word was said to or of the Kiowas and Comanches here when the fire was opened on the troops by the Ovonees, thoy were the first. to commence firing on the troops in the rear. Santanta, Big Tree, Rouble, Viscon, Woman’s Heart and Lone Wolf are out from their camps. The latier had the impudence to send in to make a treaty just as the firing com- menced. I send this by runner to Caddo to be forwarded at once by telegraph. drawn up in line of battle on the skirt of the reservation along the river bank of tho Wichita, and the Oconee chiefs were at once cited through the old and favorite inter- preter, Mr. Horace P. Jones, of Fort Sill. But in response to the requisition for the appear- | ance of the Oconee chiefs, no one but Big Red Fox answered for his tribe. A BIG TALK, General Davidson immediately proceeded to hold a “big’’ talk with the ‘‘big’’ chief and ! bad man, as follows: — The President of the United States has found that his people were killing and plun- | dering other people on the plains, notwith- standing that they had said they would be good and would not kill the white people. But they had lied about it, and the President had got tired and mad and instructed his officers to punish these bad people. The Cad- dos, Perretetpka and some of the Comanches were good Indians. The 34 of Angust had been fixed for the enrolling of all good Indians who were on reservation, and those Who had done wrong and not come in had to be arrested, and the good separated trom the bad. Accordingly General Davidson said that now he wanted him to surrender all his arms and horses and to go with him as la prisoner, with his women, back to Fort Sill, where the property belonged. All he had to say to him now was to ask him what his de- | termination would be, and it must be given at once. If he acquiesced in this, well and good; if not, why, then, he would have to fight, and he must prepare for it forthwith. BIG FOX'S REPLY. | _ The dark, sullen, dangerous chief, as he | folded his blanket slowly around his well | knit form, paused @ moment and after bit- | terly compressing his lips said: —‘‘Well, I will | | do what you want.” This was supposed to | end everything amicably and satisfactorily, | and evory one felt happy and congratulatory | and each one scattered himself about leisurely | awaiting the arrival of the reds, as arranged, | Your correspondent, tired and worn out with | heat and travel, laid down to rest a while, when | all of a sudden there was an oxcitement which ! boded no good.

WASHINGTON, August 25, 1874, Colonel Adair, of the Cherokee Nation, arrived here to-day in the interests of the Osage Indians, and had a long interview with the Commissioner on Indian Affairs. He is direct from the Osage Nation, and says the fears of hostilities by the Osages against Kansas, as recently expressed by the Governor of that State in a telegram to Presi- dent Grant, are groundless, nor is it true that those Indians have recently, in council, declared war. Adair relates that the Osages are the aggrieved party; about twenty of them were on a buffalo hunt west of the Arkansas River, and on their return they saw in the distance several hun- ared soldiers, When two Indians were despatched to ascertain the reason for the appearance of the troops. These indians were captured, and there- jore not returning to their friends, jour more were sent forward to learn what had. become of their companions, and they too were-captured, together with iour more who had peen sent on a simiiar ‘errand; thus one half of the hunting party fell 1uto the hands of the troops. The other Indians were beckoned away by the captives, four of whom were killed, out Colonel Adair does not know the articulars of the tragedy or the causes whicn led 0 it. KANSAS’ NEED OF TROOPS. In reply to the request of the Governor of Kan- gas for arms and ammunition to be used in delend- mg the southern vorder of the State against tho reported threatened invasion of the Osage Indians, the Secretary of War states in view of the tact that the State was furnisned in July last with 500 caroines and 60,000 rounds of ammunition, on which ac- count the State is still indebted to the general government, he does not feel authorized to grant the request.
