A Colored Gemman's Bride Clones
with a White man,
From the Buoyrus tO.3 Forum.

from the bu0yrus W. Forum.
On Friday of last week, q large and portly
gentleman Of African descent, named Silas Brv.
ant, visited our town, accompanied by white
man, who. from appearance. we took for q DO.
lice officer from some city. It turned out that
the white man was detective from Nashville,
and the negro resident of the same place.
The object OF their visit was to discover the
abolitionist who has stolen the wife of the sootv
gentleman. They had tracked the pair, by hard
work. to this county, and on Friday morning,
the detective, when strolling about town, un-
expectedly came across one Jacob B. Heller, a
resident OF Liberty township, in this county,
and who had recently returned from the army.
Heller, 1t seems, was accompanied by portly,
voluptupus looking female, of rather dark
complexion, whom the detective at once dis
covered to be the wife of Bryant-that colored
gentleman accompanying him. They were
about buying furniture to go to housekeeping.
1t seems that when Heller returned aocompa-
MED by his dusky beauty, he represented her as
"persecuted Union Southern lady" of great
refinement, whom he had married. Of course,
the loyal in the peighborhood went into
ecstacies over the hero Heller and his Southern
bride. They went into the best society, parties
were given them, they attended church. and
everything went merry as q marriage bell !"
But, as the old adage has it, murder will out,
and the visit of the colored gentlemen from
Nashville-who, by the way, is as black as the
ace of spades-cast dark cloud over the
hopes of Mr.. Heller.
1t seems that Tabitha Jane-the name of the
woman-left her husband and three little picka.
ninnies at Nashville, with the avowed intention
of visiting some friends in Memphis; but in
stead, she eloped with Heller and came to
Crawford county
But upon seeing her colored husband Ia
bitha James old love for him returned, and her
heart yearned for her children. She concIuded
to return with him to the house che had made
so desolate; she, therefore, forsook her white
paramour. and started back on Saturday morn
ing with her lawful husband to Nashville. leay.
ing Heller either TO hang himself, hunt another
ter man..
Before leaving. Bryant entered suit against
Heller in the court Of common pleas of CaW-
ford county for seducing his wife. ciaiming
damages to the amount Of 410, 900. -

Fort WADswoRTH, d. T.,l
September II. 1865.

Fort WADswORTH, ID. T.,
September II, 1865.
To the Editor of the Pioneer:
I have merely time to state that Maj. Brown
has returned from Col. Carnahan's expedition
with which he has been serving. He left the
expedition near DEVILS Lake on the 9TH inst,
and was six days coming down.
The expedition took up its line of march for
Fort Abcrcrombie on the 9TH, and it will prob
ably reach that post about the Goth. The ex-
petition accomplished nothing, not having en-
countered an Indian either friendly or hosnle,
except those residing at Fort Berthold.
Upon reaching Devils Lake Col. Carnahan
sent party up the Lake. which party iound
a notice from Gen. Suly's command, stating
chat 1t had reached the Lake on the 18th DAY OF
JULY. This Intelligence was brought TO the
camp, and in a few days subsequently DC
tschment of 200 men was sent by 1.-THE shortest
and hest route" to Fort Berthold, to obtain, a.
WA understood, Information as to the opera
sons of Gen. Sully. This detachment was alb
sent from the main camp fifteen days, and on
its return the expedition commenced Its return
AT Berthoh 1t was ascertained that General
sully had marched from Fort Rice to Devils
Lake, and thence back to the Missouri at Fort
Berthoh without meeting An Indian. At Ber.
thold Gen. Sully sent an invitation to . band Of
hostile Sioux to come in and make peace. The
Indians answered that they did not want
peace, and than broke camp and moved to the
north.
These constitute the operations Of two e1-
petitions, the expenses of preparing and NOV
ing which would have erected stockades and
gsrrisoaed them, at Devils Lake and Mouse
River, for two years. Troops located at these
points would control the Indians in their hunt
ing excursions, and necessary keep them In
the British territory. The troops 90 located
would keep the Indians from our frontier SET
tlements Expeditions to the Indian country
will never accomplish that object, whether to
6xht or treat with the Indians.
Gen. 'Sullys proposition to make peace Is
said to have excited much merriment In the
hostile camp. It indicated that the whites
were "tired of the war and long for peace, -
that the troops could not operate In their
country; and the Indians were Independent OF
our government and people. Being supplied
With arms, ammunition and other necessartea
by traders from the Red River, and being free
from molestation on the part OF our troops,
they do not require peace.
Yours, &C., Z. HAkMlN.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Fiendish Attempt on the Lives Of

tionally. The car in which the General was

FeRr WADswoErH, D. T., Sept. rs, 1866.
Editor of the 81. Paul Pioneer:
Since my last we have had . slight political
excitement here. The Commissioners for re-
ceiying the votes of the troops at this post,
opened the polls on Saturday, and most of the
men deposited their votes. There was but lit
lie electioneering, each man selecting his own
ticket according to his political or personal
preferences. Mr.Riee, it is understood, receiv-
ed quite large majority for Governor, and the
constitutional amendment had q majority
against its adoption.
Mr.. Rice also received large majority at
Fort Abercrombie, and negro voting Was not
regarded favorably.
At Twin Lakes, where a portion of Captain
Whitcomb's company are stationed, nota man
would vote. The company is said to be
strongly Republican.
If the votes of the troops in Dakota Is any
indication of the vote of Minnesota in Novem-
Der, Gen. Marshall and negro suffrage will
both be distanced in the political race then to
come of.
By the last mail Major Brown received Or
ders to report in person at District Headquar-
tiers, st. Paul The object of his being ordered
below is not known.
Capt. Patch's company has been relieved by
the company under Capt Howes, and has
gone to Fort Ridgely. Captain Everest is un-
der marching orders. He will be relieved by
Capt. Davy.
Company F, OF the 1st Regiment United
States Volunteers, are ordered to Fort Smelling,
and rumor says it will proceed from thence to
Fort Leavenworth.
The scouts are kept constantly on the
move and while they guard the post
from the approach OF hostile Indians, the men
can and do work in perfect security.
Capt. Mills the A. Q. NJ, is pushing the
work on the quarters with much energy. He
has two splendid stone blocks for the accom-
mediation of four companies, ready for the
root. They will be ready for the men early in
November. In addition to these there are in
course of erection stable and brick guard
house.
The movement of troops, the delay in get
ting mails in operation, and the want Of many
articles that should have been forwarded
from St. Paul, have contributed to delay the
work. Yet good quarters will be furnished
for the men and animals at the post during the
winter.
believe this is about all the news have
for you at this time. When any thing else
turns up" will endeavor to notify you.

IL Is sometimes said that high prices pro-

prices Of articles Of living. This j. not true in

but suppose the wages Of labor e. rise i'm equal
proportion TO the means OF living. still il l.
