At one time during the raid made by Gen.
Phil. Sheridan on Lees communication 8
with Richmond, his lines were severely
pressed by the enemy, and having expend-
ed their supply of ammunition, there was
great danger of their being driven back
But Sheridan was equal to the emergency.
Causing fresh issue of cartridges to be
made, he placed himself at the head of
his columns and thus addressed his men:
'Bovs. you see those fellows yonder2
We are going to knock hell out of them.
They are green soldiers from Richmond.
They are not veterans. You have fought
them well to-day, but have got to whip
them. We can do it and We will"
The address was received with roaring
cheers and headlong charge, which was
too much for the rebs, and they were sent
flying to their works.

The Catholics proclaim this treaty rev

The liberal journals regard the act as
the destruction of the temporal power,
and fer once applaud the Imperial Gov
ernmsnt with both hands They insist
upon it that the Pope must adopt the
Emperor's idea and reconcile himself
with Victor Emmanuel The ministe-
rial papers spend their time in trying TO
show that this treaty guarantees the da-
ration Of the temporal power, and that
France will remain the capital OF Italy.
But they now put in an important pro-
viso: If the Pope does not give reforms,
/ If he does not bold any account IN his

does not try to satisfy the just demands
of the people be processes to govern, be

when the storm comes, to find the SYM
patty Of the outer world withdrawn. IF
we are to believe the friends Of the Pa
pal Government, no change is to be
made; the Pope Is neither going to make
reforms nor to recognize an army for the
defense Of his temporal power He is
going, as they say, to LET things 20 as
they may, and in this case it is not diff
cult to cay what will take placs. If the
Roman people make a revolusioa, and
demand the instalment Of the italian
Government at Rome. the Pope will
again abandon his capital, and call upon
the Catholic powers for protection.

~ INDIAN FroRr IN CLAY COUNTY

Our old friend, Ed. Mcknight, member Of
Che House from the Humboldt District,
was in town on Saturday, and brought
the news Of desperate encounter between
two soldiers of the 9th Iowa cavalry and
seven Indians. The soldiers were mem.
5ers of company stationed at Peterson,
on the Little Sioux river, in Clay county.
They were out about three miles from
town, on Saturday the 14th, when they
came upon three armed Indians, who fed
at their approach, and the soldiers gave
chase. They had gone but a short distance
when seven more Indians sprang out Of
a ravine and fred on them. One of the
soldiers was struck on the head by ball,
and fell from hi, horse. The other had
but two loads in his revolver, and firing
hastily, missed his aim. The soldier who
was wounded was large, powerful man,
and quickly recovering himself, seized the
foremost Indian, wrenched his knife from
hin, ard killed him on the spot. The
others closed in on him, and des pera.e
hand to hand fight ensued. The revolver
Of the soldier was carried eff on his horse,
and the only weapon he had was the knife
he had taken FROM the Indian. He de.
Tended himself brave'y, receiving several
severe wounds, and inally killed another
Of his foes. His comrade, who had been
watching for chance to empty his revol.
yer without hitting his friend, saw one Of
the sarages raising his knife to strike the
fatal blow, and firing, killed him in the act
The remainder Of the indians, probably
thinking he had m ore charges ready for
them, turned and fed as they saw the
third of their number fall. The young
man assisted his wounded companion to
mount his lorse, and took him back to
town. Mcknight, who has just come
from Peterson, says that the wounded sol.
der will probably recover, though he has
received three or four very severe stabs.
Fort Dodge Republican,
Eg The appearance Of our streets for
the last few days, has indicated a move in
this military department. Long trains
are daily starting out, loaded with COM
missary stores, intended for the expcdi-
ton. These trains have consisted of OK
teams principally, instead Of mules; and
there is hardly any doubt tina. oxen, for
an expedition Of this kind, will prove
quite ., good as mules; and, as they do
not cos, more than one. third as much, the
substitution must lessen very materially
the the expense Of the outfit. We under.
stand that the entire command will not
be consolidated until the various de,ach-
ments asrive at Fort Pierre The last of
the troops stationed here, which are in
tended for the expedition, will probably
leave by Monday next Although we
shall regret to see SO many friends
leavee our city, We cannot avoid feeling
pleased to witness the vigor with which
everything is being done for the protec-
ton Of our frontier.
