J. N. BROWN, -A-ttomesr at Lw, Ottawa, Kansas. Will practice in all the Courts. feb20tf The increase of crime in South Carolina is attributed by the News and Courier, of Charleston, to whisky and the habit of carrying concealed weapons.

A passionate impulse, a crook of the finger, and death! It is killing in haste and repent at leisure. When he who has a weapan in his pocket is aroused by whisky, arousing the savage instincts which are found in every breast, his control over himself is gone. A brother man is hurried into eternity with as little concern as a fly is crushed on the wall. The remedies are, (1) the abolition of the practice of carrying concealed weapons, and (2) the discouragement of intemperance. The legislature can effect the first reform, but the women alone, according to this moralist, can save the State from the curse of intemperance.

He entreats to banish from their society every man, however near or dear, who dares to approach them with the flush of liquor on their cheeks and its stain upon their hearts to strike from the list of their acquaintances every one who is known to be a tippler; and in everything they do, and wherever they go, to draw the line sharply between the man who is his own master and the man who is whisky's slave. The Vermont Chronicle says a liquor seller there sold a pint of rum according to law, and made a few cents' profit. The drinker while under its influence shot his son-in-law, and his arrest, imprisonment, trial and execution cost the country more than $1,000. ORIGINAL SKETCHES. Indian War of 1867.

BATTLE ON BEAVER CREEK. (Continued.) BY BEX JENXE8S. The Indians began fight "by forming a complete circle around the' detachment, and just within range of their guns. They were promiscuously armed with Springfield and Mississippi rifles, shot-guns, and bows and arrows. Had they been armed as well as Indians generally were several years after, not a white man would have escaped.

Their tactics appeared to be to stampede our horses, and the shaking of blankets, lances with streamers attached, and their unearthly whoops and yells as they circled around was well calculated to make the horses uneasy. As they continued this riding, each alternate Indian would, from time to time, wheel his horse inside their circle, rein up, and discharge his piece at the square. After the formation of the square ot skirmishers by apt. the horses were wheeled "fours right" into column, and each set of fours put in charge of No. 4 of each file, and, under a determination to push on and attempt to reach the main command, which Sergeant Carpenter reported about four miles north, in the bottom lands of Beaver creek, we started forward.

We moved slowly, keeping up a constant firing on the Indians, who also continued a perfect shower of balls and arrows. Occasionally we would be compelled to halt for a'mo-ment or so, and at such times squads of Indians would dismount, creep up behind prairie-dog hills and buffalo-wallows and pour in flight after flight of arrows. Several of the men were struck with arrows, while scarcely a horse remained which had not been wounded. As for the execution from the square, many Indians were seen to fall from their ponies, while others drop'on one side of their saddles or topple over backwards, as though fatally hit, but were tied totheir horses. This plan of strapping themselves to their trappings i a common one with Indians, as, in case of shooting, their bodies will, be "borne ofF to their party, and not fall into the ha of their enemies.

Occasionally, Indians would rally in a squad of one hundred or more.suddenly face the whites and come dashing dewn on a full charge. At such critical times, the threatened side of the square would be reinforced by running up each alternate man from the other sides of the square, and this front would kneel down and vrcrpty the full seven shots of their carbine magazines into the approaching Indians. The red levils had never before encountered troops armed with seven-shooters, and these repeated volleys, without any perceptible intermission for stagger them before they reached the square, and they would break and retreat in all directions, yelling like demons. The rapid succession of shots appeared to work upon their superstitious notions, and after every such charge they would draw of and huddle together as though for consultation overtlio strange phenomena. Many Indians could re seen to fall, and sit one time eleven dead bodies were counted lying in the track of their futile charge.

In one of their most daring charges, one Indian, mounted upon a splen- 1 did white animal, led his band. He never looked behind, but with a revolver in hand, dashed on, giving his encouraging com-wands to his warrior, until within pistol-range, when he opened fire. At this point, his followers were staggered by a telling volley from the square, and, wavering for a moment, broke and run. The chief, how-evei, came on, dashing his spurs into his horse and flourishing his revolver. He rode over one man who essayed to stop him, through the square, and on to the farther side.

Probably fifty shots were fired at him, but all were apparently ineffectual. He bore a charmed life, and had made a most daring ride. The detachment carried two hundred rounds of ammunition per man, and no fears were felt for our safety upon that score. After advancing about a a mile in this manner, fighting incessantly Scout Pliley, informed the commander that another and still larger body of Indians, could be seen through his glasses, on the hills, and between us and where the main command was supposed to be. At the time all thought them to be warriors, but subsequently we learned that they constituted the inactive force of the camp, squaws, old men and children.

Being then satisfied that they were fighting- men, and having no hopes of being able to cut their way through them, the plan of joining Maj.Armes was given up. Upon consultation with Scout Pliley, Capt. J. determined to return to the river, and there erect a breastwork of driftwood, and prepare for the coming darkness. Changing front, and turning the horses around, caused something of a halt, during which the Indians redoubled their firing and showers of arrows, until only four horses remained tinwounded.

Many had been killed, and all except those four were badly, hurt and fairly bristling with arrows. They were restless and enraged, and it took more men to care for them than could be spared from the lines. Under this condition of affairs it.was decided to kill all but the four whole animals, and as they were turned out of the square they were shot by men selected for that purpose. At this point Corporal James Towell received seyen balls in his nody, and Thomas Master-son was als mortally wounded. This was the man who had brought out the mail from Ft.

Hays to the wagon train. One of the 7th cavalry, the dismounted man who was picked up at the river, was killed instantly. Mounting live badly wounded men who were too badly hurt to be able to use their arms, the return movement was begun. Before killing the horses, all the saddle pockets containing the ammunition, had been taken ofF, and these the men carried across their shoulders. Leaving the high ground the detachment entered a ravine, and for the first time, the men here got water, since the beginning of the battle.

to be contixved I Eminent scientists have given it as their opinion that the effect of habitual tippling, or what we call moderate drinking, is more deleterious in its elFects upon offspring than occasional drunkenness. Let those champions of individual liberty who contend for the right to sell liquor to moderate drinkers reflect upon this, and ask themfelves if we have the right, by law, to entail disease, idiocy and premature death upon generations yet unborn. Hon. Schuyler Colfax says, "Let me prophesy: In less than five years from to day no man of intelligence will advocate the present license system, nor will the traffic of whisky be tolerated by the American people."
