The Indian CAMPAIGN,

We have private information that
the Indians on the upper Missouri have
gathered to the number Of 10000
warriors, and that journeying to Idaho
is exceedingly hazardous business.
In consequence of this formidable
demonstration our troops cannot leave
to escort trains, as was contemplated,
and the army could not move against
the Indians until the grass was up.
We learn from the St. Paul Pioneer
that Gen. Siblcy has designated the
9Th regiment of infantry, under Col.
Thomas, which will be mounted, and
companies Of the Cd calvary, Col.
McLaren, together with two sections
Of the Sd battery, Capt. Jones, the
whole under the command Of Col.
Thomas, of the 18th, as the force to
march from Minnesota to join the ex-
petition of Gen. Sully on the Missou-
ri River, and participate in the grand
Indian campaign of the ensuing sea-
son. ..r
The 9th regiment will be rigidly in
spectcd at Fort Ripley, and will con-
centrate at Sank Centre not later
than the 18th of May inst. and will
Immediately thereafter take up the
line of march to Camp Pope on the
Upper Minnesota, the starting point
of last summers expedition under
Gen. Sibley. The whole force is or
dered to rendezvous at Camp Pope by
the goth of May, and will start for the
Missouri river as soon after as prac
ticable. The men are ordered to take
sixty rounds of ammunition also, or
extra supply of clothing, and rationt
for 80 days.
This branch of the expedition viii
join Gen. Sully on the Missouri, 9
short distance below Fort Pierre, wher
the whole command will move to the
mouth Of Heart River, about l0t
miles south of Fort Clark, where ;
strong and permanent post will b
erected and q garrison left. After
wards, If the Indians are not previ
ously met and defeated, Gen. Sully
will move as rapidly as possible into
their Businesses and compel them to
| fight.

APAINFULLY INTERESTING CoUPLE-At the
Union Volunteer Refreshments Saloons are TWO
soldiers manned in terrible manner, who are
vet more resigned and happy than many whole
men blessed with riches and the qualification OF
every reasonable desire. One of them, named
Perie, lost both legs by shot from rebel bat
terv at Charleston, and his brother we believe,
fell dead by his side. The other man named
Smith, lost both his arms at Gettysburg. They
are life-guests at the hospital in question They
will end their days together. No man and wife
were ever more closer companions. The legless
man feeds, dresses, and attends upon the man
without arms. The latter goes every Sunday to
Dr. Brainard's church. The man without legs
cannot do so. His companion wishes to pur-
chase for him velocipede, that they may get to
church together. They have not the money
Neither has home or relatives able to do any
thing for them. Any one having any money to
spare and the time to visit them will find two
extremely interesting characters deeply grateful
for any acts of kindness. The poor fellows are
cheerful, even merry, in their terrible misfor-
| tune. They never, at any time, have been
| known to repine at their calamity. With all
their deprivations, the greatest extravaganza
they indulge is wish for velocipede, that they
may go out together. The armless man now
carries the 'legless one, whenever they go out,
| upon his back. The distance from the hospital
to the church is too great for such means OF
| locomotion.-NorM American.

A CORRESPONDENT gives an account OF the
heroic fortitude of a young boy who was wound
ed in recent charge in Grants army. He was
in hospital at Washington. Through each
heel, between the tendons and the bone, there
was q large hole, and both were full OF maggots,
which had eaten their way down under the bones
of his feet; there was also another wound in the
fieshy part of his left thigh, where the ball car
ried away half pound of flesh and muscle;
this was also full of maggots. Turpentine was
used by the surgeon to get rid of the maggots,
vet the brave little fellow bore the intense pain
like a martyr, and when asked if he did not suf-
fer, said eyes, I suffer very much, but I am
willing to be torn piecemeal, joint by joint,
while living, for my country and for liberty"
