MURDERED BY INDIASs.-Mr Bruce Meek,
| of Clarinda, Page county, was murdered by
Indians on the Platte river, 18th ult He
was returning from Pixies Peak.
The Fort Dodge RspuJlican says q
young man by the name of Stewart, who
has father and brother now in the army,
moved last spring from Ohio with hi, mo-
ther and several small children to Toma

Capt. Bagg, Quartcrmaster Of this Dis
trict, arrived from Fort Rice Thursday
morning, on the steamer Efiic Deans. From
the captain we gather the following: Fort
isice IS about 800 miles from Sioux City by
LAID and 800 by water, is beautifully sit
uated on the west bank on the Missouri. -
miles above the mouth Of Cannon Ball river.
Timber, water and stone convenient. and an
inexhaustabe coal bed has been opencd
three miles from the fort. Gen. Suliy stop
ped at this point only long enough to build
rutablc building to store the extra bar
gage of the command, and started for the
Yellow Stone on the 18th of July, with about
ooUo men. Scouts report the Indians in
large force about 100 miles from Fort Rice
and determined to fight. Capt. Bagg is of
the opinion that i great battle has taken
place before this. The troops were in fine
spirits, and horses in excellent condition
plenty of grass and water, and the weather
comfortable. Four hundred men of the 3Oth
Wisconsin Regiment, were left at Fort Rice

New YORK, Oct. 23.-A Newtown, Va.s
dispatch Of the Goth, to the Herald, states
that large numbers of wounded are there,
being carefully attended to. The loss of
the 9th Corps was very heavy, but no re-
turns are yet made. Rebel prisoners state
that Early was in command of the rebels.
Pursuit is being vigorously followed up by
Custer.
A Martinsburg dispatch of the 22d says
600 wounded have arrived there, and
1000 more are expected shortly. General
Seward has ordered every house in the
place opened for their reception. Two
railroad trains of wounded were sent to
Baltimore to-day. The above includes both
Union and rebel wounded. The captured
cannon are arriving here Secretary STAN
ton is on visit to this Department
Richmond papers of the 20th had not
heard of Sheridan's victory of the 10Th.
wilmington papers state that one hum
dred and nineteen deaths from yellow fe-
yer occurred at Newbern during twenty
four hours. They advise Wilmingtonians
to move their families from Wilmington for
the present. At Charleston yellow fever is
fearfully increasing, and the mortality
among children is terrible.
The late rebel papers all contain much
speculation relative to Sherman and Hoods
movements, their conclusion being that
Sherman will be compelled to either fight
Hood under disadvantage or get out of At
lanta and Georgia.

Dalton and Other Places Recap
tured by Sherman.

New YORK, Oct PA Chattanooga let
ter of the 18th to the Herald states that our
small garrisons at Dalton and other places
were ordered to evacuate them; which they
did, saving much valuable property. They
were then occupied very briefly by the reb-
els. but Sherman pressing them too closely,
they skedaddled, and all those places claim
ed as having been captured by the rebels
are now occupied by our troops.
Rebel papers consider Sherman's position
as critical and also that of Hood equally
so; but if Hood can keep up his supplies,
Sherman must evacuate Georgia. But
they admit that Sherman's position cuts off
Hoods communication with his. base, and
hint that Hood has another base. The
Georgia militia has again been ordered out,
to rendezvous at Macon.

New ORLEANS, Oct. 16, via CAIRO, Oct. %.
The steamer Noda, from New York, and
the Alliance, from Brazos Santiago, arrived
yesterday. The Alliance brings intelligence
that Cortinas surrendered his forces, Sc, to
the Imperialists, and accepted a Brig. Gen
erals commission in Maximilian's army.
Mega commands Matamoras.
The Alliance brings five refugees from
Mexico. They wrote very compliment
tary letter to Col. Day, commanding U. S.
forces at Brazos.
General Drayton superseded Ford at
Brownsville, in command of the rebels.
The ironclad Lafayette was fired upon
with musketry by guerrillas at Ratclitf IS
Point, ten miles above Morganza, on the
Both ult. No damage was done. The guer-
rillas were dispersed with few shells.
Owing to our frequent raids on the east
bank of the Mississippi, the rebels endeav-
ored to cross 1000 head of cattle to the west
side to prevent their capture. One hundred
and fifty head stuck in the mud, and the
gunboat Fort Hindman gobbled half Of
them.
An expedition under Col. McEdge was
sent to jackson Point, fifteen miles from
Fort Adams, to prevent the passage of more
stock.

gagement of the Martinetti Troupe for
three nights more, for the purpose of intro
ducing series of novelties hitherto unseen
in this city. These will consist of numer-
GUS new feats upon the tight rope, in which
the daring and ingenuity Of the Martinetti
Brothers will be displayed in greater de-
gree than ever before, including Chinese
Dance, anda pyramid by the three brothers
on single rope. The pantomime of the
Red Gnome will be repeated tonight for
the last time. 1t is one of their most charm
ing productions, and, as the machinery has
been placed in the best order to produce the
proper scenic effects, it will be performed
tonight in superior style. The whole bill
for this evening is good one.

REvERIE OF A MooN-STRUCK MAIDEN
As 1 stood looking out from my window
upon the distant hill tops, the beautiful val
leys, and pleasant hills meads, as pale faced
Luna, with her silvery light, laved the earth
in resplendent halo of glory, involun-
tarily whispered to myself, where can hui
man being be found who does not admire,
with bewildered eye, such an evening
scene as this! l admire the beautiful visage
which all creation puts on when she calms
my troubled spirit, and comforts my agitat-
ed breast with the delicious liquid strains
of her sweetly tuned evening reveries.
When the dark, silver-bespangled starlight
ed shawl of night has been spread over the
cart. Oh! what time it is for deep medi-
tation and inward examination. Who is
there but what loves to wander in some
dark, gnat-like retreat or shrubby-bed on
such an evening as this, and feast the eyes
with the delicate pencilings of Luna, when
every stump, and ditch, and stone shows
the kisses of the big, round moon, and the
flying leaves go here and there, and
nobody knows where, and at last they fall
"ker-spat" into our face, while the dark
shadows dance and scamper about in the
lunalight and the big "barn-fowl" keeps
Growing, and their horrible notes 60 to rest
with the butterflies rocked in the rosebuds,
with dew drops for their evening lamps
1t is at such time the wind feels like 60
ing a journey, and SO it scars away among
the stars to tell of things unheard Of. Luz
ma light, love your teachings, and paint
ings, and so forth. 1t wakes a tender spot
in my heart! Luna light, what strange
fancies ,crawled through my brain while
Watching you and all your grandchildren
up In thy blue and boundless sphere, until
/ commenced using Pinkerton's celebrated
Calisaya and Wahoo Bitters, the first bottle
of which cured me of my wild and extrav-
agant fancies, gave me sound mind and
healthy constitution, saved me from lunacy
and the madhouse. Try these Bitters.-.
They restore the mind to It's usual activity
when impaired by any cause, and act upon
the general system with the best results.
