Detailed Account of the Affair—Armed Rands of Negroes Threatening the Whites With Extermination—A Com- SHREVEPORT, La., Sept. 1, 1874. Major A. F. Stephens, of De Soto parish, who ar- rived here to-day, furnishes the following account of the Coushatta troubles, which is, no doubt, sub atantially correct :— It seems that im Red River parish, where the negroes are largely in excess of the whites, much apprehension and alarm has been felt by the latter on account of a threatened outbreak of negroes, instigated, as was generally belteved, by Eagarton, De Wees, Twitchell, Howell, Willis, Holland and others, The lives of several respectable white residents of the parish bad been threatened by the negroes, and a few days ago Mr. Williams, a re- spectable citizen of the Third ward of Red River parish, was threatened with aasagsination by two notgrious and desperate negroes near Browns- ville, in the lower edge of the parish, he having been fired at by them with double-barrelled shot guns, On last Thursday night a small party of white men went to the cabins of three negroes with the view of arresting and lodging them in jail, when they were fired upon from a cabin and one ot the party instantly killed. The negroes then at- tempted to rua to the woods, when they were both shot and Killed by the party attempting to make the arrest, On the next day (Friday) a large party of armed negroes, between 300 and 400 in number, assembled near Brownsville, swear- ing vengeance against the whole white race, and declaring they would not leave @ white man, woman or chiid alive in the parish. This created GREAT APPREKENSION and excitement at Coushatta and throughout the surrounding country, and on Friday night the Toads leading into the town were picketed. Two young men, Mr. Joe Dickson and Mr. Pickens, who were on one of the posts, halted a negro who was coming into the town with a sack of buckshot. He pata no attention to their command to halt and ran off into the darkness, being fired at by one of the party, without effect, however. They immedi- ately went into town to report wnat had oc- curred, and were returning to their post when they were accosted in the streets of Coushatta by Homer Twitchell and two notorious negro desperadoes named Andrew Bosley and Bob Smith, all of whom were armed. moments’ conversation with them, not of a violent nature, and had turned round to proceed to their post, when they were fired upon twice by that Darcy from the rear without warning. Dicksoa was dangerously, if not mortally, wounded, and he now hes in @ very critical condition. Mr. Pickens escaped unhurt. The firing party then ran off, Bosley and Smith escaping altogether, ana Twitchell for the time being. That night and next morning, T. 5. Edgarton, Homer |. Twitchell, R, A. De Wees, W. F, Howell, U. Holland and M. U. Willis, all white, besides a number of negroes, were ar- rested and placed under guard. All of the party who held office then voluntarily wrote out and TENDEREP THRIR KESIGNATIONS, and they, with others, voluntarily proposed If a guard was jurnished them to Shreveport, that they would leave the State and return no more. Tois was at once assented to, and the prisoners requested Mr. Joho Carr, a reliable and trust worthy citizen present, to take charge of the guard for thetr protection. On Sunday morning, at ten o'clock, Mr. Carr, with a guard of about sixteen men, started with the above named prison- ers, except the negroes released afterward. A arty of vetween forty and fifty, supposed to be ‘exans, who had come into Coushatta, started in pursuit with the avowed purpose of lynch- ing the prisoners. Laver im the day Mr. Carr. was apprised of this fact, and put nis horses and those of the prisoners to the top of their apeed to avoid being overtaken. While nearing the Hutchinson plantation on Red River, some thirty miles below Shreveport, with the view of crossing there and destroying the flat boat to prevent further pursuit, he was overtaken by Ene poreune party. Tne guards were over- powered and the prigoners taken away from him, and three of them, Edgarton, Twitchell and De Wees, shot on the spot. The other three, Howell, Holland and Willis, were carried back a short dis- tance to near Ward’s store and there shot. The citizens in the neighborhood assemble’ yesterday morning and buried the parties who had been Killed, the first three in a graveyard near Hatchin- son’s plantation and the last three on the spot where they had been Killed, near Ward’s store.

New OBLEaNs, La., Sept. 1, 1874. Despatches received tn New Orleans by State Senator M. H. Twitchell, a brother of one of the persons killed in Coushatte, state explicitly that the only cause of the dccurrence was a white league movement to run out of the State or kill all the white republican leaders in tue parish of Red River which, by the returns of all the returning boards, ‘went largely repablican at the last election add thus to prevent the organization of the republican voters of that parish ior the comiag campaign. At the Executive Department it is asserted that the tatention of the white league of Caddo parish to take possession of Red River pa known to the parish officers ior da; previous to the actual occurrence, and this was the only reason of the parisn officers organizing to resist their displacement. from. the offices which, according to the returns of their opponents, they were fairly elected.

At twelve o'clock reports of the popular vote had been received {rom only seventy-two towns, repre- senting about one-third of the vote of the. State on @ full ballot.

HEADQUARTERS OF TROOPS IN THE FIELD, Camp Ngak rue Wicuira River, WICHITA AGENCY, I. 'I’., August 25, 1874. Taking up tne thread where I left off on tne In- dian question; if any one throughout the United States has tor a moment failed to doubt the folly and total inefMicacy of the so-called ‘‘peace policy” it would have been well had he been present just about a thousand yards hence on the banks ef yon- der river, aud had wituessed, on Saturday, the 22d inat., the elegant manner in which the reputed peaceful Indians can fire, not only on United States troops, without cause, but also on the peace estab- Ushment, part of which your correspondent and and ® government interpreter composed; but their calling afforded no exemption from the rat- ting shower of bullets which sped about us on their playful, but hurtfal way. Had the vengeful Kiowas and Noconees been informed in humble and ceremonious tones that there was a sanctity about the non-combativeness of the press and media- torial representatives, which should have saved them irom the ill effecta of the gleeful pastime in which they revelled with vary- ing impulse for several hours here on Saturday last, he would have probably been insulted, and, with an ugly “agh,” have signified his dangerous contempt for your discriminating advice. But tt ig@ sad commentary, confirmed by the evidence of Mr. Horace P. Jones, who has been among the Indians for forty years, that they are worse now in this respect than they were twenty years ago, which he attributes to civilization ; and the Acting Agent, Captain E. Connell, corroborates the fact that itis useless to attempt to do anything irom an absolutely peace standpoint. Now, what shall be done with the Indian? The facts given in this correspondence are intended to show that those most familiar with the whole question are per- plexed at times at its changing phases, and weil nigh give up its solution in despair, Batsometbing can and must be done, and that which generally is concéded on all nands, by good Indians, their agents and the people who have lived among them for a lifetime, is that they must get a sound thrashing first, as that is the only reasoning which they recognize. THE TRANSGRESSING BANDS. Now to the affair of Saturday last, which “opened the ball’ for the serious fighting which is to come before the winter is over, if not sooner, As already brietly stated in courier despatches from tne field in these columns, General J, W. Davidson, commanding at Fort Sill, where there is @ reservation of Comanches, Kiowas and Apaches, was informed by one of his officers, Colonel Gaines Lawson, commanding here, that a body of dangerous Noconees, who belonged at Fort sill, had come and settied down here without guthor- ity either irom the Indian or Military Departments, AD enrolment having been taken, expected to comprehend all peaceably disposed Indians, which terminated on August 3, and having for its object the keeping of this class of Indians on their reserva- tions during the impending war, if not at all times, the line was supposed to have been drawn effectually between those who could be regarded, as the dear old Quakers would say, as ‘good In- dians” and those whom the military are going to clean out, being found on the warpath. The transgressing class, if they can be discerned, who waywardly leave the reservation with- out authority, but not intending war, are to be arrested, their arms taken from them, and they are tobe held for such punishment as the President shall direct, This was exactly why General Davidson, with four companies of the Tenth United States cavairy, commanded by Cap- tains Carpenter, Viel¢, Little and Lieutenant Morrison, started out for this place on Friday night last, at tem o'clock. As s00n a8 possible, after he received the news from Colonet Lawson, he made the forced march of thirty-five miles and arrived in the presence of the transgressing Noconees and the camps of the other sympathizing (though iriendly) Indians hereabouts, composed of Caddos, Wichitas, Wakos, Kichis, Delawares, Towaconies and all the species of the genius Comanche, whose tongue is the court language of the plains ana he the aristocrat or lordling of tne tribal denomina- tions. THE “FRIENDLY” INDIAN A MYTH. And here, by way of parenthesis, let me announce it solemnly to the world, to avoid future mistake, that there is no such thing in existence, in the jull meaning of the adjective, as a friendly Indian. ido this after a close and impartial observation of the different tribes, confirmed by the testimony of those who have done their best to cultivate the godlike virtue among them, by kindnesses and attentions that would draw gratitude from @ roaring hon or @ prairie woll; but the Indian, with few exceptions, can never love or evinces fealty to the white man, for with him, as with all other nationalities, blood is thicker than water, and the Indian's biood is the thickest. The Strongest evidence of the Indian’s mutual sym- pathy and preference for his own is very evident just about us here, and will be seen in facts which I proceed to describe in General Davidson's experi- ence on his peace mission and the evidences this morning in the still vacant camps of the so-called friendly Indians. The recalcitrant chief of the Noconees, called “Big Red Food,” from his esthetic taste and capacity in eating very large pieces of Taw meat, came forward, mounted’ on a pony, with a shuffling gait, and naited under the tree where General Davidson awaited nim. He was summoned in firm tones to dismount, which he hesitatingly did, and stood bareiooted and breech- clouted, with blanket tightly drawn about his nfps, looking defiauce in his very attitude, which his every act subsequently confirmea, With Dioodshot, fierce-snapping eyes, which seemed to have the faculty of looking over a double class of objects, at the same time cheek bones of bull-dog prominence and lips set as if they would serve as a vice; broad shouldered, firm set, about five feet six inches in height, was the figure of tne warrior wno is a type of those who are to test with Uncle Sam whether lawlessness, murder, robbery and savage pleasure sball be the raling influence on the prairies of the Indian ‘rerritory and Texas, instead of jaw and order, with subordination to the regulations as prescribed for every other in- dividual who finds himself in the United States, ‘This is the problem to be solved, and the real question, stripped o/ all its surroundings, between the Indian and white man. This tableau vivant was presented when General Davidson thus ad- dressed Big Red Food, in determined tones, after the latter made the strange announcement that he did not know how many warriors nor people he had:— This summer the President of the United States found that there were bad Indians, who were killing and plandering his people, and he had got tired of it. They had promised they would be good and would not Kiil his peopie, They lied about {t, and now he had got mad. So he sens word to his oMcers to punish these bad people, but excepted the Caddos, Pevetethkes and other Indians who are good. He (General David- son) had held counsels with them and told them what the President nad said. He had fixed the 34 of August asthe time at which all good Indians WRO DA AOk GONG WKADR COMA COMA LA ANE CATAL | GANA LAIRD. WK WU UCR Of Wag REQROE .

Many Kiowas, | Uke Kicking Bira ana others, came in peaceably and enrolled themsejves. A great many of the Kiowas and Comanches refused to come in because they were guilty people, and he knew it, There was one to go in and he was going to settle the terms for those Indians, (Here Big Red Food curled his lip scorpfully). The General then re- ferred to the case of the other Indians on the ground, and said that as they required to draw everything for themselves there was no food to be obtained for the Noconees, but they must go to Fort Sil. Big Red Food, who waa attended by only one chief, Biack Jack, @ flendisn- looking devil, mere petulently remarked “that the Cheyennes would not let him come. To this General Davidson repiled that “he led,” that tney would not harm him nor put @ finger on him, Big Red Food then remarked that if he wanted to fight, as was hinted, he would have stayed out onthe prairie, but he came to make friends, General Davidson then replied that the whole indian country was filing with soldiers, and no prairie or other reference would be listened toin excuse. Whatever he was going todo he Must do at once; he was going to settle it now. If he did not surrender his arms and stock and accompany him at once to Fort Sill as a prisoner With his warriors, he must fight it out now, and the only thing leit for him todo was to fight at once, After deliberating a Moment, when bitter- ness and @ nervous tremor of rage ran like elec- tricity through bis whole physique, slightly con- vulsing the nerves of his hangs, neck aad lips, looking out into tne vacant space to deliberate on what General Davidson had given as his ulti- matum, signifying Re would have no more valk, the old (irtendly) war chiefs Tasho- way and Asohabit—who were near by on horseback, leaning forward listening ear- nestly tothe talk under the, broad elm tree, in the sweltering hos sun, which afforded shaae to the momentous council in which your correspond- ent stood with hat off, swathed in profuse perspi- ration—earnestly and anxtously advised Big Red Food to accept the terms offered by General Davidson, which, after a little more hesitation, he concluded to do, saying, with a tremendous effort, In which reluctance was blended with a painful tug and concession like to that with which a fellow yields a atubbotn molar to the powertul forceps of @ herculean dentist’a pull:— “Very well, I will do what you want.” General Davidson then instructed Major Wooa- ward to take BIG RED FOOD AS A PRISONER, with thirty men, under Lieutenant Morrison's command, and to proceed with him to his camp, taking all the arms and ammunition which he would turn over, and to return with them to the Place of council, where they were to be piled up, after which they were to pe placed in wagons and taken to Fort Sill, Big Red Food accompanying the cortége with his band, all as prisoners. In res- pouse to Major Woodward’s question as to what was to be done in case of resistance or failure to comply with the agreement on the part of Big Red Food, General Davidson said, “MAJOR, BLOW HIS BRAINS OUT.” After a short time Major Woodward returned to General Davidson, while every one was in high glee at what seemingly had been accomplished as @ peaceful and important measure, and stated that Big Red Food was not delivering his arms and said he would not goto Fort Sill as he had prom- ised; whereupon General Davidson ordered that he be tlea up, which instructions were barely issued when a yelling anii whooping was heard from the Indians who were about Big Red Food, and he, taking up the cry, made a spring from the guards who held him and dashed cunningly into and through the crowd of soldiers, thus muzziing their fire for the time being until he could gain dis- tance and get into the clearing, the soldiers, mean- Ume, not being able to shoot lest they would kill one another. In an instant, however, they de- livered @ rapid discharge. as the prisoner swept to the left and rear of the Noconee camp, It is not known yet whether the marauding chief and mur- derer was killed, but he could not positively escape severe wounding. Just then, as your correspond- ent rode with the left of the column advancing in a charge into the camp from the grove where they were resting on the bank of tne Wichita, and almost simultaneously if not a little in advance of the firing upon the escaping prisoner, A HEAVY AND CONTINUOUS FIRE WAS OPENED from the rear and left flank of the troops by a a body of Kiowas and Noconees, who had been tnreateningly looking on since the arrival of our column, evidentiy bent, as your correspondent felt, on mischief; for when the command rode into the outpost of the Indian camp, Indiana by the score first and hunareds afterwards rode out, cov- ered with war paint and decorated in the most fanciful ways, and as they few past on their prat- Tie steeds and flung themselves into almost all manner of impudent attitudes, it was not dificult to see that troable was brewing, and thut ere long some one would have to bite the dust when the sport commences, for the savage looks and the rearing and cateering of young and-old, male and female, betokened that, what with this being issue day and they being under the influence of Mquor—having been many of them at a race, where they were congregated in large numbers—the marching of a body of troops into their camps as a police force was well caicu- lated to arouse an excited state of feeling on @& hot August day, with the thermometer at 106 in the shade, where ‘any could be found, ana with two antagonized bodies.who did not care a snap for one another. As s00n as the camp was charged and passed over the troops took the banks of the river and pro- ceeded, by dismounting part of their forces and deploying skirmishers, to drive out the skulking, cowardly, thieving Kiowas and Noconees, which was done in handsome style. Every position taken up by the Indians was successively taken from them, and it became evident then that some- thing must be done to protect tne agency, trader's store and the long line of buiidings and large stacks of hay belonging to the settlement. THE INDIANS SKIRMISHED and massed tn various quarters, threatening these until night came on, when, having gathered a force fully amounting to 500, with several tribes repre- sented in the number, they sent word in that they were going to “‘clean out the agency firs! id then go for the Caddos,” who were in general disfavor. Skirmishing was kept up all night and the picket was feit at various points for the next day’s con- templated attack. THR LOSSKS. The loss to the command of General Davidson was three wounded, viz.:—Sergeant Joseph A. Blackburn, Company L, Tehth United States cay- airy, shot through right arm, flesh wound; Ser- geant Louis Mack, Oompany H. Tenth cavairy, slight wound in foot; Privates Frederick Robinson, Company I, Twenty-fifth infantry, severe gunshot wound at joint of left wrist, and Adam Cooke, Company E, Tenth United States cavairy, gunshot wound in right shoulder, severe, behind. Several horses were killed, prominent among which was the veteran charger Dan, belonging to the inter- preter of the column, who, after having been mor- tally wounded, when we @ to & halt lay down, sadly anticipating his fast approaching dissolution ; before which, however, like an old soldier, hunter and frontiersman aa he was, he arose trom where he lay in isolation near @ tree, walked over while Ife was fast waning within him and took his post- tion among ‘he troopers’ horses, which were fn line along the fence, and sinking down with loud snort, gave up the ghost in hia front rank position, to which he had 80 long and so often been accustomed, The first day closed with every one onthe qui vive, AMMunition was being fast expended and our position, from its great length of line and pecniiar construction, required a large number of men for detence. The THRBATANING ATTITUDE OF THE INDIANS determined General Davidson to send a courter to Fort Sill tor reinforcements, and two companies of infantry, respectively commanded by Captams Bowen and WyckoM, were ordered to this place with 10,000 rounds of ammunition. Through the indomitable will and untiring energy of Captain 7 course to be followed Im putting ont snccessiuliy the repeated fring of the premises by the Indiana, which threatened the whole camp, the buildings Were saved and @ terrible calamity averted. Great praise is due him, a¢ also to the comutanding officers and men of Capiatea Little’s company and to Lieutenant ¢. R, Ward, @ young graduate of West Point Aca- demy, for the galiant manner io which, om the skirmish line, under a heavy and well directed fire, they drove the Indians from their cover ro- Peatediy. The same may be said of Carpenter's | company, which behaved magnificently in slike capacity, and the cool carrying of orders by his bugler, Jack Terrtll, was admirable in a high de- | gree, as he drove leisurely to tne front, the sulécted, mark of Indian rife, The Indians found them- selves overmatched vy the dash, nerve, coolness Sud steadiness vy turns of the oMcers and men of General Davidson's command, and about midnigh®& they withdrew to the timber, leaving only afew scouts Out to harass the pickets and she Tentir cavalry, with the Twenty-fifth infantry, masters of the field, Thus ended the first day of real hoc workin the Indian war, ably contested and au- guring @ morrow of continued brilliancy and sot- dierly management. The Kiowas, Noconees aad other hostile Indians are fairly in for it now. Horrible Massacre in Kansas—Six Sure veyors Killed and Three of The Scalped by the Indians.
