The Heated Term.

The Eastern papers are all complaining
of the unprecedented heat of the last fort
night, and the fearful mortality thereby
oecasioned. In New York there was
never anything like it. The Ecenimg
Post, of Tuesday evening, says:
Nearly thousand deaths occurred during
the week ending yesterday-or about two
thirds OF the average mortality of London,
which city has three times the population of
New York. Of the whole number of nine hun
dred and seventy deaths here last week, more
than five hundred were caused or accelerated
by the effects of the heat Eighty eight deaths
are reported by the City Inspector as the direct
effect of sun-strokes, and forty-six other cases
are attributed to "effects of the heat" Di
arrh9a, dysentery, apOplexy and diseases of
infants account for the remainder.
The destruction of children by bad air, worse
food, and terrible heat, is unprecedented
Five hundred and eleven children died in this
city last week. This is more than the average
of the whole weekly number of deaths here In
an ordinary season.
On Monday in New York, the mercury
ranged from eighty-six degrees above zero
at eleven A NJ, to ninety-four at three p. NJ.
At Albany on Sunday at three P. M. the
thermometer showed ninety-three degrees:
in New Haven from ninety to ninety-eiebt
according to position; in Hartford ninety
degrees and upwards; in Month cal. for =
week, the range was between eighty and
ninety the greater part of the time.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE Potomac,
August 10, lS63.-The following procla-
nation has been issued by Gen. Meade:
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAc,(
July IL, 1868.
The numerous depredations committed by
citizens, or rebel soldiers in disguise harbored
and concealed by citizens along the Orange and
Alexandria Railroad and within our lines call
for prompt and exemplary punishment. Un-
der the instructions of the Government, there
FORE every citizen, where there is sufficient ev-
idenee of his having engaged in these practices,
will be arrested and confined for punishment,
or put beyond the lines. The people within
ten miles of the railroad are notified that they
will be held responsible in their persons and
property for any injury done to the road, trains,
depOts or stations by citizens, guerrillas or
persons in disguise; and in case of such injury,
they will be impressed as laborers to repair all
damages. If these measures should not stop
such depredatiOns, it will become the unpleas.
ant duty of the undersigned, in the execution
Of his instructions, to direct that the entire in
habitants of the district or country along the
railroad be put across the lines and their prop
erty taken for Government use.

Maj. Gen. Commanding.
The depredations having been continu-
ed, a number of citizens suspected or
known to be complicated in these trans
actions have been promptly arrested.

&c Half Of our Own Slaves Fighting
Against Us.o

The Raleigh On: o. Progress makes
confession of fear that must excite SEN
satiOn of terror in the hearts OF the higher
classes of southern society. That journal
says, that unless the offensive and invasive
policy be successfully prosecuted-which
is impossible in another year half
the slaves of the South will be fighting
against their masters. That paper says:
Throw the whole army into two columns,
and let one enter Pennsylvania and the other
Ohio and, be the result what it may, it cannot
be worse than will follow continuance of the
defensive policy; for if we continue to conduct
the war upon our own soil we shall not only
have the armed legions of the North, in the
shape of the Yankees themselves, to contend
against, but in another year they will have our
slaves fighting against us. At best the pros
pect is bad; but let us, if possible, do what
fighting is to be done upon their own soil. and
not upOD ours.

about fifty yards to the right of the COM

G. supposing there might be other Indians
concealed in the grass, there quite high,
prepared his command for immediate fight,
and sent word to Capt. Burt (whO with
the scouts hail gone some distance ahead)
of the state of things. Capt. B. returned,
and sent an Indian scout who could speak
the Dakotah language, to reconnoiter, and,
if possible, to communicate with the In
dian or Indians, as the case might be.
The Indian, after some conversation with
the scouts, gave himself up, and proved to

sixteen years: young in years but old in

statement Of Mr.. Bracket.

We left camp on the Oath at the usual
time, about five O'Clock A. N. The First
battalion, Minnesota Mounted Rangers in
the rear. Lieut.. Ambrose Freeman, COM
pany D, said to me several times that
whenever l had chance to 60 to the
flank, be wanted to go with me. Soon as
l had my cattle started, I went to Capt.
Taylor and told him if he could spare
Captain Freeman, We wanted to 60 out
on the flank little way. left the main
column about two miles out from
camp, struck off to the left, went
on to range of hills which was es-
timated to be about five miles from the
main column. Saw three scouts out about
the same distance. After getting there
we struck parallel course, and supposed
we were going in the same direction as
the main body. We watered our horses in
lake. Saw two other scouts on the OPP
posite side of the lake. We then went
still further on, over one range of bluffs,
probably about three quarters of mile.
We followed along parallel, or, perhaps a
little to the left of the main body, dis
lance of three miles.
Lieut.. Freeman saw three antelope, an
old and three young ones. We fired and
wounded the old one. She then made off.
I had the Lieutenant's horse, and he fol-
lowed her on foot, which took us off our
course, some way round the bluffs. We
got into section of country by a large
lake, and succeeded in killing the ante
lope near the lake.
As we were coming down towards
the lake, and while the Lieutenant was
creeping up towards the antelope,
l saw some scouts on the opposite
side of the lake, the train in sight on the
side bill, several miles distant. Instead
of taking our course back we had Gu
riosity to 60 around the lake to where we
saw the scouts. We saw cherry bushes
newly cut and piled up. set out to tear
them down. Lieut.. Freeman persisted in
saying they were Indian signs and Indians
we're there. We cooked our rifles and
made around the bushes so as not to put
ourselves in too exposed condition. We
then took OAR course as we supposed to-

era tribes, and make them anxious TOR
peace On any terms.
The expedition saw no other Indians.
The entire distance travelled by it was one
hundred and forty miles. One day was
spent in camp, to give the mounted scouts
time to scour the country around the head
of Devils Lake. This marching would be
an average of twenty miles per day for
seven days. Where is the infantry that
can beat it? 4.

To relieve the anxiety of those who
have friends in Capt. FIsKs expedition,
Col. MARSHALL requests us to state that,
in his opinion, the expedition is on route
that will not be infested by the Indians.
The Indians we're moving in southerly
direction, while Capt. FISK was moving
north-westWard.

Exemptions in Massachusetts.

Some idea of the causes for exemption
from military service may be gathered by
the report of the Examining Board in the
Third district of Massachusetts,. Five
hundred and thirtv-three conscripts were
examined and divided off as follows. 1t
will be seen that the government received
only thirty-nine men out of the whole
number.

last four wives were sisters.
Father went to St. Joseph last spring.
When we were coming back he said he
could not fight the white men, but would
go below and steal Eorses from them and
give them to his children, so that they
could be comfortable, and then he would
go away off.
Father also told me that he was getting
old, and wanted me to go with him to
carry bis bundles. He left his wives and
other children behind. There were six
teen men and one squaw in the party that
went below with US. We had no horses,
but walked all the way down to the set
Elements Father and l were picking red
berries near Scattered Lake at the time he
was shot 1t was near night. He was hit the
first time in the side, just above the hip.
His gun and mine were lying on the
ground He took up my gun and fired it
first, and then fred his own. He was shot
the second time, when he was firing his
own gun The ball struck the stock of
his gun, and then hit him in the side,
near the shoulders. This was the shot
that killed him. He told me that he was
killed, and asked me for water, which l
gave him. He died Immediately after.
When l heard the first shot fired, I laid
down, and the man did not see me before
father was killed.
A short time before father was killed,
an Indian named Hi-u-ka, who married
the daughter of my fathers second wife,
came to him. He had horse with him
also gray colored coat that he had
taken from mau that he had killed to
the north of where father was killed. He
gave the coat to father, telling him he
might need it when it rained, as he had
no coat with him. Hi-u-ka said he had a
horse now, and was going back to the In
dian country.
The Indians that went down with us
separated, eight of them, and the squaw
went north, the other eight went farther
down Ihave not seen any of them since
after father was killed. took both guns
and the ammunition, and started to 60 to
Devils Lake, where expected to find
some of my friends. When got to Bea-
yer Greek, saw the tracks of two Indi-
ans, and at Standing Buffalos village saw
where the eight Indians that had gone
north had crossed.
l carried both guns as far as the Shey-
enne river, where saw two men. l was
scared and threw my gun and the am
munition down. After that I travelled
only in the night, and as l had no ammu-
milton to kill anything to eat, l had not
strength enough to travel fast. l went on
until arrived near Devils Lake, when I
staid in ono place three days, being SO weak
and hungry that l could 60 no further.
I had picked up a cartridge near Big
Stone Lake, which l still had with me,
and loaded fathers gun with it, cutting
the ball into slugs; with this charge I
shot wolf, ate some of it, which gave
me strength to travel, and went on up
the Lake until the day 1 was captured,
which was twenty-six days from the day
my father was killed.

EvThe Richmond Examiner reviews
General Lees official report Of the
Pennsylvania campaign, and thinks
that the failure of Stuart's cavalry to
obtain due information of General
Meade's position was the cause Of Lees
too dilatory movements and subsequent
failure. 1t adds: "The writer of this
report is evidently man who would
neither be dazsled by success or emas-
culated by defeat. We have room to
hope that If he does not renew the great
design imperfectly Swallowed in the re-
port, he will replace it in the future by
some other essentially the same; and
that he recognizes the truth of Napo-
Icons best maxim, that the most mag
ni6cent achievements in war. as in 9TH
er things. are generally accomplished
after one or more partial or complete
disappointments."
