him in an imploring attitude, and begged him
that she might be allowed the extraordinary

was to perform that function, insisted upon
discharging it, though, as their imperial mis-

The Herald's telegram says s. E. Gray's
letter from Gen. Sully dated Sioux City to
the Indian Bureaa states that he has Just ar
rived from Fort Rice, on the Missouri river.
He reports large bands Of Indians gathered
about the latter place. They apparently de-
sire to preserve friendly feeling with the
whites. The chiefs averred that the tribes
were to make immediate restitution Of prop
erty taken on recent expeditions, and agreed
to deliver mp certain Indians who were guilty
Of shedding blood on their recent thieving
foray.
A communication from the Snperintendent
OF Indian Affairs, from the district Of New
Mexico, reports things in most unfavorable
light. He reports the Indian population Of
that country determined on an outbreak and
have already begun to enter the smaller towns
and settlements, and drive OF cattle in broad
day. The cause Of this mischief is sAid TO
arise from the scant,ness of supplies from the
government during the last two years. The
military force has been 80 small that the In
dans no longer fear it. An instance is cited
where 5000 Navajo Indians are under the
guard Of four hundred soldiers. The former
begin to show disposition to turn the tables
by throwing their captors.
The following is IN exhibit of the business
ofthe Pension Department for the year just

FORT SUMTER.

\ correspondent writing from Charleston
harbor, gives the following animated des-
cription of that famous locality
In the centre, in mid channel, like grim
sentinel stands Fort Sumter bowed, broken
and desolate A shapeless pile of earth
and sand, and brick, it bears no likeness TO
its former self Where the new cross of the
Confederacy and the palmetto flag of Gen.
Ripley were so proudly flying in April and
July Of 1868, only one signal banner, and
that the red, white and blue, now waves.
Scared and cracked, its walls seem ready
to fail. The face towards Cummings Point
is crushed and broken into steep hill of
mingled sand and brick, and shot and she'll.
The face towards Fort Moultrie is protected
by solid work of interviewer palmetto
logs. Yet the structure of the fort is SCARED
and cracked and broken above and around
and behind these additional defenses. The
classmates, closed and covered by immense
framework of heavy beams, and this again
thick with earth, can be entered only by
winding passages, damp and dripping with
moisture. The classmates once entered, il
would hardly seem possible that any human
being could have lived any length of time
within them. The guns were Shiny and
mouldy, and the carriages were sweating
with Shiny moisture.
Climbing out of the stone port hole and
through the more widely extending one in
the palmetto logs, you could look down
around the base of the fort, where the cease
less tide had woven over each of the stones
mantle like thick, green, wet floss, and
see fragments of she'll and broken bolts
You could look to the right and see where
the wall had crumbled and fallen into the
sea. You could look above and see the logs
rent and gashed, and the brick wall with
great scars and ragged cracks and wide
seams, as though a little more of the storm
Of iron shot would have beat it down beneath
the surface of the sea. You would look to
the left and see the closed ports, the rough
repairing, the broken parapet.
In the interior the sandy earth was sup
ported in Its irregularity by numberless
fascines and gabions, and dotted here and
there by dark holes which admitted rs into
the damp caverns. What had been the
parade was now green and Shiny with the
stagnant moisture, overwnieh were scattered
pieces of an old exploded gun, scraps of iron
hoops, few decayed barrel slaves, iron and
leaden shot scattered from shrapnel, and
bits of Soiled clothing and broken bayonets.
From the tall flag staff in the center a small
Union banner was waving. And this was
all that remained of Fort Sumter.
