THE INDIAN ExfEDITIoN.
Dispatches from General sibley.
REPORTED DEATH OF LITTLE CROW.

Col. STEPHEN MILLER gives us the fol-
lowing late news from Gen. SIBLEY:
Gen. SHELLEY writes under date of July
21st, that he has advanced about thirty
miles estward from his camp of the 10th,
and expects to reach the Indian camp
within four or five days. LITTLE Crows
band is with this camp. He writes that
:" there is reason to believe that the Indian
killed by Mr.. LAMPsoN and son, near
Hutchinson, was LITTLE Crow himself. l
wrote you few days since that he and
nine men were reported absent on a war
excursion below, and none of us who are
acquainted with the Sioux can fix upon
any Indian answering the description given
Of displaced bones and withered arms, but
that noted rascal himself 1t may not be
so, however"
There has been no suffering for want of
water and grass, and the men are in ex-
cellent condition, Notwithstanding the long
and toilsome marches. Only one wagon
was so broken as to be left behind, and
very few mules or horses have been lost

How the Good News was Received
in Paris

A Paris correspondent of the New York
Herald, writing under date of july DIST
says:
Just befo.e the commencement of the
service Sunday 19th,) young man en-
tered, and proceeding to the pew of
the American Minister, handed a
paper to Mr.. Dayton The latter eagerly
and hastily read it, and whispered to Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher, who was sitting
next him. That gentleman copied the
dispatch on piece of paper and sent it
up to the pulpit, and in moment the Cos
pei OF good news was whispered round the
house that 'Vicksburg was ours :" and
low buzzing murmur and a general smile
OF JOY upon the faces of the audience show
ed how the news affected them. | greatly
fear that little attention was paid to the
sermon that morning, for everybody was
anxious for the service to be over, that
they might exchange congratulations on
the glorious news. When it was at length
finished and the congregation had gath
cred in the vestibule of the chapel, and on
the sidewalk in front of it, there was gen.
eral shaking of hands, and a general ex-
change of joyous words The ladies were
particularly enthusiastic. A struggle for
mastery between smiles and Joyous tears
was evidently in progress upon the fine
face of Miss Dayton, the daughter of the
American Minister, and the countenance
OF the American Consul's lady was fairly
illuminated

Physiology of Swimming.

The medical authorities of the French
army especially recommend that men in
clined to disease of the chest should be
continually made to swim. The following
are the effects (Which NJ lie Docteur Du-
lon attributes to swimming on the organs
of respiration:
A swimmer wishing to proceed from one
place to another is obliged to !deploy his arms
and legs to cut through the liquid, and beat
the water with them to sustain himself. 1t is
to the chest, as being the central point of sus-
tentation, that every movement of the limb re-
spends. This irradiation of the movement of
the chest, far from being hurtful to it, is benef-
cial ; for, according to a sacred principle Of
RhySog the s more am an is put into
to perform its functions. Applying this prin-
ciple to natation, it will easily be conceived
how the membrane Of the chest of a swimmer
acquires development-the pulmonary tissues

with your eminent piety and Episcopal zeal,
your clergy and faithful to offer up their pray
ers, and also apply all your study and eXertion,
with the people and their chief rulers, to re-
store forthwith the desired tranquility and
peace by which the happiness OF both the Chris
tanned. Wherefore, omit nothing you can I'M
dertake and accomplish by your wisdom, au-
thority and eXertiOns, as far as compatible with
the nature of the holy ministry, to cOnciliate
the minds of the combatants, pacify, reconcile
and bring back the desired tranquility and
peace, by all those means that are most con-
ducive to the best interests of the people,
Take every pains, besides, to cause the peo-
pie and their chief rulers seriously TO reflect on
the grievOus evils with which they are afflicted
and which are the result of civil war, the direct,
most destructive and dismal Of all the evils
that could befall people or nation.
Neither omit to admOnish and exhert the
people and their supreme rulers, even in our
name that with cOnciliated minds, they would
embrace peace, and love each other with unin-
terrupted charity. For we are confident that
they would comply with our paternal admOni-
lions and hearken to our words the more will
lingly, as OF themselves they plainly and clearly
understand that we are influenced by no pOliti-
cal reasons, no earthly considerations, but i'm
PEELED solely by paternal charity, to exhOrt
them to charity and peace. And study with
your surprising wisdom, to persuade all that
true prosperity, even in this life, is sought for
in vain out of the tue religion of Christ, and
its salutary doctrines
We have no hesitation, Venerable Brother,
but that calling to your aid the services and as
sistance, even of your associate Bishops, you
would abundantly satisfy these our wishes, and
by your wise and prudent efforts bring mat
ter of such moment to happy termination
We wish you, moreover to be informed that
we write in similar manner this very day to
our Venerable Brother, John Mary, Archbishop
of New Orleans, that, cOunselling and confer
ring with you, he would direct all his thoughts
and care most earnestly to accomplish the same
object.
May God, rich in mercy, grant that these
our most ardent desires be accomplished, and
as soon as possible our heart may exult in the
Lord over peace restored to that people.
In fine, it is most pleasing to us to avail our
selves of this opportunity to again testify the
special esteem in which we hold you. OF
which, also, receive most assured pledge, the
Apostolic Benediction, which, coming from the
Utmost recesses of our heart, we most lovingly
bestow on you, Venerable Brother, and the
flock committed to your charge.

WaltZing.

The Atlntic Monthly for August has
the following severe criticism on the above
named popular amusement:
Waiting is profane and vicious dance
always. When it is prosecuted in the
the centre OF a great crowd, in a dusty
hall, on warm mid summer. day: it is
also disgusting dance. NigNis its only
appropriate time. The binding, dazzling
gaslight throws graceful glare over the
salient points of its indecency, and blends
the whole into wild whirl that dizzies
and dazes one; but the accomplishing
afternoon, pouring in through manifold
windows, tears away every illusion, and
reveals the whole coarseness and common
ness and all the repulsive details of this
most alien and unmaidenly revel The
very pose of the dance is profanity. At
titudes which are the instructive express
sion of intimate emotions, glowing rosy
red in the auroral time of tenderness.
and justified in unabashed freedom only by
a long and faithful habitude of unselfsh de-
votion, are here openly, deliberately, and
carelessly assumed by the people who have
but casual and partial society accquain-
lance. This Ireckon profanity. This is lev
ity the most culpable. This is guilty and
most wanton waste of delicacy. That
it is practiced by good girls and tolerated
by good mothers, does not prove that it is
good. Custom blunts the edge of good
many perceptions. good thing soiled
may be redeemed by good people; but
waltz as you may, spotless maidens, you
will only smut yourselves, and not cleanse
the waltz. 1t is of itself unclean.
There is another thing which girls and
their mothers do not seem to consider
The present mode of dress renders walt
zing almost as Objectionable in large
room as the boldest feats of a French
ballet-dancer Not to put to fine a
point on it, | mean that these girls
gyrations in the centre of their gy-
rating and centrifugal hoops makes most
operatic drapery display. l saw scores
and scores OF public waltzing girls last
and among them all | saw but
one who understood the art, or, at any
rate, who practiced the art of avoiding an
Indecent exposure. In the glare and gla-
nour OF gas-light, it is only flash and
clouds and indistinctness in broad, hon
EST daylight, it is not. Do shock ears po-
life? trust so. If the saying of shock
ng things might prevent the doing of
shocking things, l should be we'll content.
And is it an objectionable sin for me to
ut alone in my own room and write about
What you 60 in to great hall, before hun
1reds OF strange men and women, to do?

LETTER FROM THE POPE TO ARCHBISHOP
HUGHES.
Archbishop Hughes, of New York, has
Just received letter from the Pope on
the subject of our American difficulties,
urging peace, and desires him to confer
with the Archbishop of New Orleans in
pursuance of the object. The New York
Tablet, which publishes the letter in the
original Latin, states that it is the dupli-
cate of letter addressed to the same pre-
late, under date of Oct. Is, 1862, but
which must have been lost, as it never
reached its destination:

Neac York:
POPE Plus TX.
VENERABLE BROTHER. HEALTH AND APOs-
ToLIC BENED1CTION: Among the various and
most oppressive cares which weigh on us in
these turbulent and perilous times, we are
greatly afflicted by the truly lamentable state
in which the Christian people of the United
States of America are placed by the destructive
civil war broken out among them.
For, Venerable Brother, we cannot but be
overwhelmed with the deepest sorrow while
we recapitulate, with paternal feelings, the
slaughter, ruin, destruction, devastation, and
the other innumerable and ever-tO-be-deplOred
caiamities by which the people themselves are
most miserably harrassed and dilacerated.
Hence, we have not ceased to offer up, in the
humility of our hearts, our most fervent prayer
to God, that we would deliver them from so
many and so great evils.
And we are fully assured that you, also, Ven
cradle Brother, pray and implore, without ceas-
ing. the Lord of MercieS, to grant solid peace
and prosperity to that country. But since we,
by virtue of the Office of our Apostolic minis
try, embrace, with the deepest sentiments OF
charity, all the nations Of the Christian world,
and, though unworthy, administer here on earth
the vicegerent work of Him who is the Author
OF Peace and the Lover of Charity, we cannot
refrain from intoxicating, again and again, on
the minds of the people themselves, and their
chief rulers mutual charity and peace.
Wherefore, we write you this letter, in which
we urge you, Venerable brother, with all the
force and earnestness Of our lmind, to exhort
