A GUERILLA HUNG.
The Execution OF Champ Ferguson...
His last Word.

NAsHvILLK, Oct. 20.-The notorious Champ
Ferguson was hanged to-day. The execution
was strictly private. He died game on the
gallows, evincing no emotion until the rope was
placed round his neck, when his face turned
very red, and broke into profuse Precipitation,
attended with strong quivering of the lips.
He stood compoeedly on the drop some twenty
minutes, while the charges, specifications and
sentence were read by Colonel Shafter. He
nodded recognition to several persons in the
crowd, and shifted his position In an impatient
manner while the sentence was being read.
10 some specifications he inclined his head
IN assent; to others he shook his head. That
- can tell it better than that When the
speaker read, ITO all which the prisoner
pieads not guilty." he said, II don't now"
Adser Prayer BY his spiritual adviser, he was

Sesung with the execution. He replied, mo

and then, for the first dime. he gave s,pns of
emouon, ana his face blushed to q deep
scarlet. Inc Precipitation broke forth pro.
fusely from his face, and his Inns closed
with c0nv9!slve culver. The realization of
s a N,a ;d su =. on g., seemed to have flashed
ing his fortitude. Col. Skater wined the
sweat away, and the prisoner gradualiv recov.
cred bis equanimity. He expressed himself
much opposed to having anything placed over
his eyes, when q handkerchief was called
for. Then he volunteered the statement
II don't know some things in those speci-
fications, but don't deny. anything ever
done" For moment or two he seemed to be
REFRESHING an impulse to make fuller remarks.
After brief pause he added, I want to be
sent to my family. I don't want to be buried
on this soil" After another pause, he contin-
ued, in an excited tone, Don't give me to
the doctors, I don't want to be cut up here. >
Colonel SKATER answered, You shan't Mr..
Ferguson"
| A short silence followed, when the prison 81

| County, where can have my family arou nd
me. I'll only had my way, / wouldn't have

done. Ny Last request is to be sent away with

At seven minutes to IL o'clock the drop
fell, and life was extinct in sixteen minutes.

Treaties Concluded with Several
Bands.
The Labor of the Commissioner
Ended for the Season

FORT SuLLY, D. T., Oct. II, 1865.
Special Correspondence Of tie Pioneer.
The Commissioners yesterday concluded the
basis of treaty with the Brute Band Of Teton
Sioux, part of the young men of which have
been hitherto acting with the hostile Indians.
The treaty will be signed tomorrow. 1t is
similar in its terms to that made with the Min
necopjon Band of Tetons signed two days since,
with the addition that the Brule's are to be To-
Gated on q reservation at the mouth of White
River, on the Missouri The "Two Kettles
Band of Tetons will be In tomorrow. They
are about the same in number. with the Brule's,
200 lodges, or 800 warriors. Other bands are
expected to be in and conclude treaties, but
there will remain several large bands hitherto
hostile, of the Teton Sioux, and the Yank-
tomas Upper,) with the Cheyennes and Ara
pahoes, all of whom have sent in messages de-
string peace, who cannot come in before spring,
so thst the negotiations embracing the entire
unfriendly tribes of the Upper Missouri, will
necessarily require another visit of commits
sion next season to complete them.
The commissioners will however have accom-
plished much more than had anticipated, t..
king into view the advanced period Of the an
tumH. The red men begin to feel that they are
likely to be crushed out, should the war con-
tinue, hence their willingness generally to make
peace. The Santees or Minnesota refugees
whose camp is on the British line still breathe
war to the knife. They are reported to have
formed an alliance with the Assiniboines. They
will prove perpetual nuisance and pest our
frontier, until they are denied refuge on Brit.
ish soil, when they can be suppressed or exter-
minated.
The wind is from the north to-day, betoken-
ing change which will cause US to beat an
early retreat to the south and east. 1t is pro-
bable We shall leave about the Goth, by which
time we shall have met all the bands of savages
that can be reached this fall.
Brackets Battalion are on the March to Sioux
City, two companies, the lsst, having marched
yesterday or this morning. This desolate, mis-
cradle country should be given up to the wild
Indians and other beasts of prey or of the
chase. z,

Politics ia she Church,

The action Of the Episcopal Convention
now in session in Philadelphia, in setting
its heel upon the introduction of politics
into religious deliberations, must be graf
flying to all the members of that denon-

by the introduction of the following reso-
luton, by HoRAoE BNxEY, of Philsdel-

Resoloed. That this house, in most cordially
concurring. as it has done, in the resolution Of
the house OF bishops appointing Q day of

earnest desire that, in the religious services to
be appointed for the day, especial thanks be
ment Of national authority over our whole
country, and for the removal of that great &C.
casion Of national dissension and estrangemeut
to which our late troubles were due.
This was intended to make q little abol-
iton capital, q slavery was clearly meant
by "the great occasion referred to in
the resolution. In tho discussion Hon.
WARRINGTON Hunt and others gave the
Convention to understand that q vast
number Of people in this country think
that abolitionism was the "great occasion
of national discussion" The vote of the
Convention was finally divided on q mo-
ton to lay motion Of DR.. GOODWIN for q
reconsideration, on the table. The ayes
