made the following re sort, which was uy,ani
ulol>Iy adopted:
WusgfAs, Abraham Lincoln, the twice
chosen tel wed and revered Chief Magistrate OF
the United States has been most vlnd)ctlvely
pIrsred and and stricken down by the hand
Of a cOWardly assassin, at a time when his
mind was intent upon the best and spedlestj
means Of restoring good feeling between war
ring brethren, and of bani>hin- sectionalaui
mostly; while exhibiting a spirit OF forbe,r,'
ance mercy, and charity, in extending his lei
Diency toward his enemies, in the broadest
possible manner; while manitesting the deep
Est anxiety to conciliate those who had rebelled;
against their government; While all his ener-;
ejes were called forth in his efforts to effect a
reno liatien between all parties TO restore
frater9al feelings and to promote unity and
concord among the people of this great repllb
lie: at a time when every loyal heart was
throbhing with joyful hope, that, by his sagac
ity, honesty, maenanimity, and true states
manship, amid the terrible ordeal through
which he has guided the Ship Of State, our
beloved country was about to emerge trum
phantly from the gloom, confusion, and devas'
tation, caused by four years OF Struggle IN
defence Of the principles Of free government
against the most unholy and causeless rebel i
lion the world has ever known, to the serenity
and ouietudeof an honorable peace and to the
enjoyment of unparalleled prosperity.
AND WHEREAS, We can but contemplate
with inexpressible horror the dreadful act of
the miserable being, unworthy the appellation
Of man who can conceive or carry out plan
by which he prostrates without an opport unity

we command language with which to express
our excavations and utter abhorrence Of the

Col. +. G. Deimling, who arrived in town
last week, informs us that the Indians are
very troublesome along the Missouri. He
came up in the St. Johns, and before reach
ing the dangerous parts of the river, with
the instincs ct a military man, he got the
crew together and drilled them for the ser
vice anticipated. As there were about
forty men, the Colonel thought be should be
able to handle the redskins satisfactorily.
especially as be had howitzer on board.
Breastworks OF bags, etc., were made on
deck. The boat when lying up for the night,
spared off into deep water, so that the saw
ages would have cooling swim before they
could reach the boat. At Fort Rice, ten
muskets, with ammunition for small arms
and the howitzer, were drawn, and things
made snug. By some mistake the box Of
spherical case shot which was in the reoui-
sition, was omitted, and canister sent
instead. Had the spherical case been
aboard, the Aborigines would have had
good deal to do in the funeral line, as they
were often seen at too great range for the
canister. They fred into the boat, but did
no harm. The howitzer was slowed round
to bear upon them; but, as they were asteru,
and the river was crooked, the range would
have included the guards of the boat, and
so the piece was not discharged.
Col. Deimling is of. opinion that tho
savages will most certainly attack the return
ing boats, as they know well that there will
be none on board but the crew. He RECON-
mends the utmost caution in wooding. The
attempt to gather fuel in grove might prove
fatal, for the Indians will be in wait at every
point where there will be chance Of
attacking at advantage, and no spot is so
favorable for that purpose as wooding
station. The Indians have wholesome
dread of artillery. They soon get scared
when the whites begin to fire the wagons at

The following extract from private letter
dated Fort Laramie, May 9th, appears in
the Denver Gazette: 20 ---.-.-.
ssI see there is quite feeling regarding
the manner the Territory has treated the
militia. | am very sorry that anything has
arisen to dull the spirit Of patriotism exhib-
tied by the militia last winter. The Territory
can never fully repay the gallantry and
promptitude displayed by the regiment at
time when she was hemmed in from all
support, and being ravaged on all sides at
time when none but the gallant and daring
would forsake their homes and fresides to
battle with the elements-aside from the
many other hardships and privations they
had to endure. ] have captured and brought
in, one way or other, since came here, 200
lodges Of Sioux-making about 1,020 men,
women and children. lhung, yesterday, on

By the above it will be seen that General
Moonlight has his heart with tho beys of the
militia. His promptness in dealing with
Messrs. "Two-Face" and ssBlackfoot'-th
former of whom, it will be remembered
rendered some information to our troops last
fall, is an Internal scoundrel, and wei
deserves the fate he has got-merits tht
highest praise. 1t is known that pink tape

reprimand. In common with others Of th,

The Stars and Stripes.

Unfurl our standard to the breeze,
High let it wave in air,
The Stars and Stripes each Freeman sees,
And greets with hearty cheer.
Fly out old flag, the foeman's dread,
The freeman's hope and trust,
Flaunt o'er the traitors dropping head,
Thou meier shalt trail the dust.
The painting slave no more looks back
With terror at thy folds,
Nor hears the bloodhound on his track,
Nor groans in dungeon holds.
High honor to the gallant men,
Who died, our land to save; r.
They re scattered as the Autumn leaves,
In many Southern grave.
But long the patriots voice shall swell
The burden of the song,
To those who. faced the shot and shell,
Yon swamps and pines among.
The mother to the listening child
- The story proud shall tell,
Of men who died, yet dying smiled,
To know the day went well.
Their gallant souls had ne'er known fear,
Unconquered, there they fell.
And heard with joy their comrades cheer
Above the foemens' yell.
Then laid them happy down to die, .....
Then drew their parting breath;
Without groan, without asigh, .gr
They met warriors death.
Can we, for whom they fought and bled,
Their gallant deeds pass o'er,
Their names shall live, though they are dead,
And sound from shore to shore.
And as the glorious Fourth comes round,
By mountain. stream and plain,
Wen still their grateful praises sound,
And chaunt our loud refrain.
Victorious flag our hearts delight,
The banner of the free,
Wave thou triumphant when we smite
The foes of Liberty. TT. D.
