M FRox THE UrrER MIssouar.-We
have conversed with a gentleman who.
arrived here on Monday last in = yawl
from the steamer Nellie Rogers. He left
the Rogers about forty miles above Fort
Pierre on her way down. She was then
making forty miles day. The river has
never been known in so bad boating
stage. Although this boat is Of very light
draught she experienced great officially
on her trip. She went $50 miles above
the mouth Of Milk river, which was as far
as she coald get. The intention was to
60 to Fort Benton 600 miles further, but
low water prevented. Every precau.ion
was taken and preparation made agsins.
IN attack FROM Indians, but they were not
molestsd. o. return, 200 miles above The
mouth Of Milk river, they met the Alone
While on sand bar she had been fred
into by large band Of indians who com
PEELED her to land. After levying large
contributions in the way Of eatables aud
presents they allowed her to proceed
Their behavior aud demonstrations We're
decidedly hostile, and Tor some time the
officers of the boat thought she would be
taken. Near the Milk river the Rogers
met the Campbell and Shreveport They
were barricaded with buffalo robes. boxes,
d., and stated that the Indians had been
troublesome. After attacking the Alone
and burning the prairie on both sides of
the river, the Indians seem to have left
the river and gone northward. All the
trading posts above For, Pierre, that have
been heard from, have been attacked or
threatened b. indiana. Fort Rsrthold was
attacked-one man killed, aud the stock
driven Of. The whites are leaving as fast
as possible, and the prespec, is that most
Of the pnsts will be abandoned. The
country above Pierre is represented as
still more destitute Of vegetation and
water than below that point.
This is the first season that navigation
on the Upper Missouri has been seriously
interrupted by low water or Indians The
latter seem determined to carry their
threat of last year into execu,ion-that
the whites shall not pass through their
country.

The eldest WAS q. boy sixteen years old,

AZ soon as information Of the massacre
was received at Headquarters, orders
were Immediately sent to Capt TRIP at
Yankton and Lieut.. BACON at Vermi!lion
to dispatch troops in pursuit of the In
dams, who had crossed the river to the
Dakota side with horse taken from Mr..
Wiseman's place. A dispatch has been
received from from Lieut.. BACON that his

an order has been read on dress parade for U,
to be ready at moments notice, but further
than this 40 move has been made.
Most Of the men have confidence in General
Hooker Next to Mcclellan he is considered
the best man to command this army, so far as he
IS known. His ability is yet to be proved, but
We are all wiling he should have fair chance to
prove it. Gen. Burnside hardly gets the credi.
that is due him. Gen. Hooker is doing all he
can for the benefit and comfort Of bis men. His
giving furloughs is creating good feeling in
his favor among the troops. Nobody but a sol.
der, who has nearly two years of active ser.
vice, knows what boon lurlaugh is. Our Gen
eral has provided that the army may be supplied
with soft bread, most agreeable change for those
who have subsisted for Z long time on hard tack.
Then, it IS said, he is making arrangements to
have express boxes forwarded at once to their
owners. For long time it has been a Standing
shame the way this thing has been managed.
Boxes sent from friends by express and contain
ing things that we very much need, have been al
lowed to remain piled up in great pyramids at the
landing, until their contents are spoiled We
earnestly hope Gen. Hooker will correct this evil.
One thing speaks well for our General Command
ns-aIl that belong to his old division have IN
bounded confidence in him. The rebel picksts
used to tell ours, when both pjcketed close to the
river, that before We could enter Richmond we
should have a Stone-wall to scale, two Hills to
climb, and Long-street to march over. Perhaps
Gen, Hooker will be the lucky man to lead u,
over these obstacles to that city. If so we viii

Dartmouth College for ths Union.

"a statement which first appeared in the New
York 7r'5ane, has been going the rounds Of the
Press discredtabie to the intelligence Of Dart
mouth College, asserting that the officers and
faculty of that college, headed BY DR.. Lord, had
done their best to defeat Prot. Patterson, who
was the Republican candidate for Congress in that
district. A correspondent writing from Dartmouth
to the Boston Journal thus di,poses of their SLAM
der:
So far from this being true let me state that
there we're present and voting at the recent elec
ton slrteen officers from the different departments
of the College; that the President and one College
Professor, ana one in the Chandler School, voted
the Democratic cket and against Prof. Patter
son, and thirteen voted for Prof. Patterson, the
Administration and The Union.
Prot. Hubbard and Treasurer BlasdelI Of the
College, were elected as Republicans, the former
representative, and the latter Senator to the
State Legislature this year. SO we think the
loyalty of Old Dartmouth toerably we'll ycuched
for.

and is pleased with the beautiful IA her than
the deformed will be careful to cherish
spirit Of gentleuess, and let this be the mou-
ing po,oer that shall give tone to all other es-
scntialS Of well regulated, influential and
pleasing character. Gentleness will assist its
posscssor in all his lawful undertakings, and
will often make him successful where nothing
else could. 1t is often stronger than argu-
ment and prevails when that would be power
less and inefficient. 1t shows that a man can
put curb upon his passions, and that he can
rise above the ignorant vulgar, whose charac-
terlstic, is, to storm and rage like the troubled
sea, at every disappointment. 1t will enable
one to soar away into the atmosphere of good
feeling, while others war away with strife and
dlsquietude 1t becomes, where constantly
cultivated, a principle or habit of the mind
1t springs from the finer feelings of the soul,
and when allowed full play, it throws it cheer
ing and eniiveniug influence over the counte-
nance, chasing away all gloom and imparting
to it genial sunshine. 1t is the strength,
power, and real majesty of character, and its
charms are awakening and irresistible.
Mark the man ofopposite principles. How
excitable, ambitious, and sslf.conceited. How
thoughtlessly and fearessy, often times, he
PUSHES on to his own injury and that of others.
How injudicious his reasoning and actions, in
cases when calm, considerate, far.reaching,
and profound meditation and careful action
are required. He is like the destructive ava
understanding through society without
guide or like the storm-beaten ship without
hslmsman, hO is " driven of fierce winds"
