DRESS AT THE FRENCH CoURT.-The progress
of extravaganza in dress has provoked a slight
counter demonstration on the part of the French
Court Last year it was understood that no
lady invided to Compiegne could appear twice
in the same dress. This season it has been init
mated that the temperance of dress once in
the course of week will not only be tolerated
but approved. The consequence is that ladies
invited to pass week at Compiegne pack up
ONLY eight dresses instead of sixteen.

The Illinois papers publish call for meet
ing of the oultivators of the Chinese sugar-cane
in that State to be held at the office of the State
Agricultural Society, in Springfield, on the 18th
day of January. The Springfield Journal says
that the growing of the sorghum, and the ex-
preston and manufacture of its juice into syrup,
has been highly successful in Illinois in the sea-
son just closing. A comparison of ''notes" by
practical cultivators on the subject of this new
branch of agriculture at the North, cannot fail
to be both interesting and profitable.

REMAINS OF ONE OF GEN. WHEELER's DAuGH-
FERs-Srhe following has been communicated to
Me T6onah Qndia) Observer: By recent letters
9eceived from Brigadier Havelock's force, it ap-
pears that on the arrival of the detachment of
the 18th Highanders at that place of skulls,
Cawnpore, after the massacre of orr country
men, women and children, they by some means
or other found the remains of one of General
Wheeer's daughters. The sight was horrible,
and aroused them to that pitch, that, gathering
around, they removed the hair from off the poor
girls head, portion of which was carefully Sc
lected and sent home to her surviving friends.-
The remainder they equally divided among them
selves and on each man receiving his carefully
served out portion, they all quietly and very pa
tiently applied themselves to the tedious task Of
counting out the number of hairs contained in
each individuals lot; and when this task was
accomplished, they one and all swore most SOL
emily by Heaven and the God that made them,
that Tor as many hairs as they held in their fin
gers, so many OF the cruel and treacherous mutt
neers should die by their hands-an oath that
they will, no doubt, most regously keep,

THE INDIAN MASSACRE ON PLATTE RIVER
Full Particulars Of General Ha'7aey's A ttack.--
The American Indian Aid Society mas received
statement, under oath, of the massacre OF
Sioux Indians at Platte river by order OF Gene
raj Harvey an affair of which only very incom.
plete accounts have been published. The facts
are set forth as follows;
I'm July of 1868 the Sioux Indians were &C
cused of theft by party Of Emigrapts, The
commander at Fort Lamarie Immediately dis
patched a company OF 20 men under command
of a lieutenant and their surrender being refused
by the Indians, on the ground that they had ia
ken nothing belonging to the enigrants but an
abandoned cow, the impradent lieutenant order
ed his soldiers to fire upon the Sioux.
''The upjustiaable order was, of course, fol-
lowed by general charge by the indians, and
only one soldier escaped to tell the result. Be-
sides some other trfling depredations commit
ted during the year, they were also charged
with robbing the mail train and killing too men.
The following year General Harvey was sent out
In command Of 900 troops, but with what Or
ders | am unable to say After securing the
country in different directions he learned that
the Chief of the Sioux, with over 500 of the
tribe composed of men, women and children,
were encainped in place called Ash Hollow.
General Harvey presented himself with but
portion of his troops-having ordered the re-
mainder to move in such manner as to sur
round the Indians. A conference was held with
the Chief-the General demanding of him the
alleged robbers of the mails.
1.-The Chief replied that the men charged with
the crime were the most useful Of his tribe, and
he could not consent to surrender them without
some evidence of their guilt. General Harvey
then says, "Wll you fght9" The chiefs an
swer was. "We do not wish to fight the white
men, but prefer to settle our differences and have
no more fighting" The troops in the meantime
having surrounded the Indians, General Harvey
now ordered the Chief aud his attendants to re,
tire fifty PAGES, when the force under his com.
mand commenced an indiscriminate slaughter OF
men. women and children, orders having been
given to take no prisoners. And over one hun
dred and fifty persisted, besides an indefinite
number that were driven into the Platte River.
The Indian Aid Society, considering this @
needless butchery, has denounced the proceed
ing as an "etrocious crime" and has resolved tt
petition the Government to hold the guilty par

The Governors Message.
Richmond Whio of Friday last say


There is an immense Curiosity on the part Of
the public everywbere-not only in this state,
but out of it-not only in America, but in for
eign countries-to see the forthcoming message
of our friend and neighbor, the Governor. We
can say, contidentially, that it will fully meet
the public expectation, and will instruct, amuse
and delight everybody, of all ages sexesand con-
ditions. We have the qualification to announce
further. also, that instead of one message, as u
sua our fertile and accommodating Governor
will send in three on Monday next! Westate this
important and uncommon fact upon good au-
thority-such authority, indeed, as we place i'm
plicit confidence in. The first of the series was
placed in the hands of the public printer on
Tuesday, to be followed by the second on yes.
terday, and the third to day.
GAS to the length of these several messages,
there have been various estimates by persons
not in the confidence of the Governor and who,
therefore, have No sure means of deciding this
great question. Our own impression is-and
we speak from behind the curtain-that the
combined length of the three messages will just
about equal the length Of the Atlantic Telegraph
Cable. We are also authorized to say that,
should any one anywhere, indicate desire for
a longer one, the Governor stands ready and
Wiling W ally suCu ueSiIo, anu WIN oc"u iA
fourth at an early day, to be followed by 9th
ers at intervals OF day or two, during the
entire session of the Legislature. In word,
our neighbor and ourselves have come to the
conclusion that the people of Virginia shall not
lack light on any subject under the sun, provi-
ded sufficient light may be dispensed to them by
means of messages, no matter if one or two
should have to he put forth every day."
The Wing doubts the ability of the Richmond
papers to publish the Governors Messages, and
proceeds:
"Of ono thing, however, We are perfectly GER
tain i've can never publish them exactly as
they are written-that is, we shall be compell-
ed to publish them minus the capital, and ital-
les which embellish and adorn them. For, we
are credibly informed, that all the capitals and
italics in all the printing establishments in the
city will be exhausted in the publication of his
first message on Monday next. 1t follows,
therefore, that many bright and original idea,
in the succeeding messages, will be utterly lost
to the reader, from the want of capitals and i.
tales to point them out to him."
