understood him, and did not repeat what
he said, when Harris drew pistol and
killed him. He has been in Jail await

curse to the country by the people and
soldiers of the South.

Colonel Dodd, who arrived at Leavenworth
from Fort Dodge few days ago, writes that 1t
was reported that George Bent, q halfbreed son
elected war chief of the Cheyennes, Arrapahoes,
and other prairie tribes, and that he was pre-
pairing to take the field against the whites.
Notwithstanding his Anglo-SaXon blood, Bent
is said to be bitter enemy of the whites, and
as he is brave and daring, trouble may be ex-
pected on the plains.
The Secretary OF the Treasury, short time
ago, received from an unknown source the sum
of five thousand dollars, which the anonymous
writer stated rightfully belonged to the Govern
ment. Since the letter inclosing the money was
received, another communication has been sent
to the Secretary from another party, who claims
to have lost that amount, and asks if there is any
possibility of the amount deposited being identi
cal with the money lost by him. 1t would,
therefore, be very desirable to have the un-
known depositor state in what manner he re-
ceived this money.
The London Telegraph, alluding to Mr.. Pea
body's new gilt to the poor OF London, remarks:
''We should be paying bad compliment to the
great American merchant II we called his bene
Violence princely,' for no modern prince has
effected one-tenth of the good that may reason
ably be expected TO result from Mr.. Peabodys
illusrious gift. The gain to the community is
all the greater because the giver has not scat
tered his bounty broadcast in the form OF indis
criminate largesse, and because the aid that he
vouchsaies has no tendency either to pamper
the laziness Of pauperism, or to pauperize the
working poor"

LAMAR's PUNIsHMENT.-The Macon (Georgia)
telegraph learns from private sources that G. b.
Lamar has been sentenced to three years. i'm
prisonment and $25,OOO fine for cottoR frauds,
bribery, ETC. The decision OF the military COM
mission awaits the approval of President John
son. Lamar was condemned, we believe, on
evidence culled from some OF his own letters.
The President ought not to pardon this person;
he deserves the punishment to which the court
has sentenced him.
