Four MEN FROZEN IN APRrL-FIDELIrY
OF Doc.-The Troy n. Y. Wing gives an
account of an inquest held by Coroner Mad
den, at Petersburgh, Rensselaer, county, on

sons who were found dead on Williamstown
mountain, about half mile from the Mas
sachusetts line
The Coroner found on his arrival at Peters

THE STRAW TO TICKLE THE FRENCH Pas
SION FOR GLoRY.-The Monlteur del Armie,
in announcing that Longwood, the residence
of Napoleon at St. Helena, had been given
up to the French Government, adds some de-
tails relative to tie measures which will be
adopted for the repairs and proper keeping
of the place:
The Emperor Napoleon III, has decided
TINT this place, marked by souvenirs so
dear to Franco, shall be repaired and kept
| in good cond ton, under the direction Of
some old superior officer of the French
army, who had served under the first en-
pire, and who will have his residence at St.
Helena in the house which was in the course
of construction for the Emperor at the time
of his death. This officer. selected on the
| proposition Of the Minister of War. will
! have the official title of Conservation Of the
house and tomb Of Napoleon. The tomb
will be restored 10 such as it was At tho no.
Rod when it contained the precious ren,oins
| OF the great man, and funeral chappeI will
be built on the site of the dllapidated bonse
which was his last asylum, and in which ha
died. All the spots which have been i'm
mortalized by his presence, the hillock on
which in fine weather he used to sit down
and contemplate the sea, the place where he
dictated his memoirs, the part of the road
where he used to stopin his rides, will be
marked by some construction.

Attempt to COwhide Hon. Daniel
Sickles.

WASHINGTON, May 6.
A difficulty occurred to-day at Wizards
Hotel between J. Mcleod Murphy and Dan.
E. Sckles.
Murphy on Sunday addressed a note to
Sickles, accusing him of assailng his pri-
vats character by unjust imputations in his
efforts to effect Murphy's removal as Civil
Engineer in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
Sickles replied that the note was vague
and unmeaning menace, and as such he had
already taken too much notice of it, Murphy
not giving his authority and the particulars
of the allegation.
Murphy yesterday sent Major Watkins to
see Sickles, when the latter demanded the
name of the informant, and on whose state
ment Murphy based his charge, and denied
the right to be interrogated on rumor.
Murphy considering Sickles' note insult
ing, sent challenge through Major Watkins
in his reply.
Sickles said he had not used language
which cast imputations on Murphy's honor,
and that there was therefore no ground on
which he could demand an explanation or
hostile meeting here.
Thus the correspondence rests.
This morning Murphy obtained admission
to the chamber where SckleS was in bed,
and attempted to cowhde him.
A struggle ensue !, Sickles obtained pos
session of the weapon, and bears the mark
Of blow with the hand on his face.

The District Attorney announced at the
close of the Session of Court of Oyer and
Terminer, yesterday, that he had but or 4
witnesses to examine, and that he should re-
sort to the case of Mrs. Cunningham in the

The main features of yesterdays evidence

Mr.. Baldwin, lawyer, residing at No. l6
Bond street, testified that on leaving his
house about IL O'clock, he and his compen-

hour the smell was gone.

(From the Kansas City Enterprise, May 81

Tim. Goodwill the celebrated mountain
ecr and guide, arrived in this ty on Mon
day last He spent the winter on Green
river. west of the Rocky Mountains. The
winter was one of the most severe ever
known.
The Utah Indians on Bitter Greek lost al
most their entire stock of horses. From
Mr.. Goodeil We learn the following particu-
lars
At the crossing of the North Platte be
, met an Indian trader, named Saunders, who
had just returned from an expedition in
search of a Grow village. His party con-
sisted at setting out of three white men and
four Crow Indians. They were attacked on
Powder river by party Of thirty Backfeet,
who killed one of the white men named
Scott, and Canadian trader, and two of
the Crows. Saunders was wounded in the
shoulder.
About three days after the above occur
renee band of Snake Indians came across
party of Blackfeet numbering twenty
eight warriors, near Frcmont's Peak. and
after a hard battle killed twenty-sevcn, leav-
ing but one to tell the story to his tribe
This is the most successful battle ever fought
in the mountains. I he Snakes lost not one
single brave. The widest rejoicngs were
going on in the tribe-feasting, dancing and
all descriptions of savage orgies being car
ried on day and night. They were SO elated
that they sent portion of their scalps by a
French trader to the Sioux, having, as they
said, more than they wanted.
Goodell met Long Chin, the Sioux chief
who headed the murder of the mail party
two years ago, and was prisoner for some
time at Fort Lcavenworth, at the trading
house OF Major Dripps at Ash Hollow, and
had long talk. Long Chin told him that
the Cheyennes had sent word to the Sioux
that if they would meet them at the Forks
of the Platte and take their old men, wo-
men and children to the lodges of the Siox,
north of the Platte, they would give them
sixty or seventy horses and mules, and then
the young men of the Sioux to Join them in
their excursions against the emigrant trains
on the plains.
But Long Chin said he had been down
among the whites on their big be at, and
seen so many men, that he knew it was no
use to fight, and that the Sioux would have
nothing to do with the matter.
On his way in Mr.. Goodell saw few
lodges of Cheyennes. They told him that
they had killed more whites than the whites
had killed Of them, and If the government
wanted to make peace they were willing :;
but if more fight was wanted they were
ready. He also learned at Ash Hollow,
through Cheyenne squaw, the wife of a
white man called Jack, that she had just re-
turned from visit to the village-that the
Cheyenncs were mostly collected on the Re-
publican Fork of the Kansas, and that they
were expecting visit from the United States
troops the coming summer. They did not
expect or intend to fight the troops a great
deal, but were going to put the women and
children out of the way, and then scatter in
small bands from the Platte to the Arkan-
sas, and they say that they can, in that way
"kill all they want, and get plenty of white
women for prisoners" This is their exact
lapu,1opa
