BILE into a Gold Interest per cent Stock having
20 years to run, but with the right reserved to
tbs Government of paying off the Loan, in Gold,
ut any time after years The term "Seven-
thirtieS" is derived from the rate of Interest

$lOO.
2 The term "Five-twenties' ID applied to the

4 The long or unconditional per cent Gold

FRIEND RoBERrs.-It was fully ex-
fecied that the / 18th Reg. would remain
ia quarters at this Post until spring be-
fore commencing their campsign against
the Indians. but contrary to expecia-
tons orders we're received Tor them to
prepare for march TO Fl. Kearney, and
on The eosh inst. they babe adieu to this
place and commenced their journey
The day was rainy and disagresable,
and the prospects TO; very bright for a
pleasant trip. The horses which the
Regiment los, on the Price raid, have
not iuily been replaced, consequently
upwards of a hundred men started on
heir journey on foot. The roads are
extremely muddy. and getting verse.
and the Regiment does not move on an
average ten miles per day.
A sad accident happened on Tuesday
last. the second day after The Regiment
Jeff here. Two of the boys Of Co. cd"
were playing low they would shoe.
Indians when they got out on lie plains,
and one OF then picked up carbine.
took deliberate aim at the other, and
fed, killing him instantly. The car
bine which he used was one which he
supposed 10 be his own, and which lie
knew TO be unloaded. but by sad mis-
take be picked up anothei's gun, which
was loaded and capped. aud used it with
the above fatal result. The name Of
the soldier killed was Henry Campbell.
He had always performed the duties
OF soldier in a credilsble manner, and
bis loss is much regretted by all who
knew him.
Cos. I'D" of the 81 Colorado and
III Of the 18th Kansas are the only
troops here now. A detachment Of
about $50 Of the Sd Wisconsin under
OF Capt. Conkey are expected
here within two or three DAYS.

Fl. Larred had hardly arrived there
before they were ordered back and to
rsjoin their Regiment. They will be
here within few days, and will proba-
bly, not overtake the Regiment before
It's arrival at Fl. kearney.
To-day We have had the most severe
snow storm of the winter. The high
wind hae driven the snow into huge
irifts, which must TO certain extent
prevent travelling for some days. Our
Regiment. which is in camp about so
niles up the Republican. must doubt.
ess suffer greatly from the storm. as
here is but little timber there TO shield

lily prepared to endure such storm.
