LITTLE CHOW KILLED.

The s.. Paul, Mimi. Rress Of July 10Th,
contaitsd an account Of The killing Of IN
Indian near Hsschisson, Mcleod county,
in the course Of which occsrs the following
paragraph -
1.-THE body Vas brought 10 abou. 3 or 4
o'clock in the afternoon, and formed the
center Of attraction for an hour or two.
Many instantly recognized the body. He
was we'll known in Hutchinson. He il 4
large man, perhaps As or so years Of age.
Both his arms are withered and deformed
by eviden: breaking and permanent dis.
placement Of the bones-ths palpable re-.
suit Of rough handling at come time past
In this, as we'll a. In stature he bears con
siderable resemblance to Little Grow, who
is also we'll known here but this Indian
is lighter complexioned than Little Grow.
This paragraph, says the Press, imme-
diately arrested the marked attention Of
Gen. Sibley, who At once stated that the
description answered perfectly to that Of
Little Grow, with whom be had long been
ultimately acquainted. Major Brown and
Captain Forbes, for many years familiar
~ brothers With Little Grow, concurred in
the Generate opinion that the Indian
killed was 10 al probability tie veritable
Petit Corbsau." None Of them and
none Of the Half Breeds or Indian scouts
in The camp whom thsy consulted, knew
or had heard Of any other Sioux but
Little Grow having this peculiarly Of
"withered arms and = permanent die.
placement Of the bones" The age Of the
Indian killed ,allies exactly with that Of
Little Grow, and it il considered ~ =
strongly corroborativs eircumstaacs that
the citizens Of Hutchinson, who knew
Little Grow, should have detected the
resemblance to that Chief.
In addition to this, oil accouuts receiv.
ed from various. sources concur in stating
that Little Crow left DEVILS Lake some
time ago, for Yellow Medicine, with few
followers. It 10 thus almost impossible
to resist tho conclusion that Little Crow
was the Indian killed.

Gen. Grant Advancing on vicks-
burg.

The Cincinnati Gaze9es dispatch from
Memphis announces the capture 10y Gen
Grants forces of Grand Gulf, Port Glib
son and Williard's Valley. Port Glib
son is six miles in the rear of Gand Gulf.
The capture of these places has given
Grant possession of the Big Black River.
The distance from the mouth of that river
to the bridge of the Vicksburg and Jack
son railroad is thirty-two miles The Big
Black is navigable tor gunboats twenty
two miles.
If Gen Grant has succeeded in getting
possession Of the railroad, and thus cut
ting of the rebel line of communication
IN that direction, it has made the siege OF
Iicksbnrg all but complete. 1t is said in
the Memphis dispatch that our forces
were travelling overland, and on Wednes-
day noon. May 6. had advanced thirty
miles up the Big Black river, and expect
ed to go ten miles more that night BY
Saturday noon they expected to be at
Nicksburg.

Gen, Curtis in Missouri,

Gen. Curtis, in orders lately issued in Mis-
souri, defnining tho extent to which private
property may be taken for the use Of armies
in time Of war, says "Wb,c there is some
uncertainty as to tbs exact limit fixed by the
voluntary law Of nations 20 our right to ap.
propriatc to our own use the property of an
enemy. or TO subject it to military contribu-
tions, there is no doubt whatever respecting
its waste and useless destruction. This is for.
hidden alike by the law OF nature and the
rules Of war;
We are glad Gen. Curtis has instructed his
officers 10 fully upon these points. HIS orders
are elaborate, and, il obeyed, will stop the
lawlcss warfare that has been carried on in
that State by our own and tho Confedera tc
troops. Missourians are neither better nor
worse than the people Of other States, but the
atrocities committed there upon both side s
since the war began arc disgrace TO the
American name. Especially is this the case
in the western counties bordering on Kansas.
We cannot but believe that il our officers had
from the first tscrupuIously observed the laws OF
war, and insisted upon their observance by the
Conicderates, much of the iayhawhing and
guerrilla warfare which has brought dcsola-
tion and ruin to thousands of innocent and
helpless people, might have been avoided.
