charge against him isthc same cid hue Ind
cry "inhuman treatment Of prisoners" SO
far as we lave been able tU read the ey:seace,
as published in the Raleigh papers, nothing
has yet been elected to sustain the elarge.
1t will hc roc6lcctcd that before Stone

escaped with tho prisoners left, ard wen1, to
Georgia, and gave himsclr up aE Augusta.

rested in November last, On charge Of treating
prisoners under him "wilh iuhuinanity and
being guiky Of eondnet not IN accordance
with the rales OF war;" Since then be has
been in close custody. The Nsrthern CORES
pondents, who are writing good deal abous
this trial, say there is great interest felt in
the trial there by "the sscesk OF Raleigh,
particularly the female part" who synpatbixs
deeply with Gee. His friends claim that be
is not responsible for lis treatment. Geo

Can it be Possible.

A Captain John 7. Hi, of the regular ar.
my Of the United States, hus been tried III
San Francisco by court martini, and ses,-
fenced to be dismissed the service, upon the
charge of having ordered an Indian child to
b. taken from the breast of IFS dead mother
and killed, The monster has lad the etfronr
terry to publish in tue Caliltroia papers what
he calls " vindication' of his conduct, which
gives, if true, most shocking view of tic
warfare, or rather butcherF, wagcd against
the poor dians in the far West. For the
honor of our officers and soldiers, and the
sake Of common humanity, we will hope that
this murderer Of women and children may
be proved to be an atrocious liar and slande
rer. After virtually admitting that he order
ed his men to shoot the helpless infant, the
cx c,ptain coolly adds:
"From the appearance of the child, If it
was alive at all, its life would only be pro-
lupeed for O. few hours This is all there was
in the case and had heen favorite with
the officers in command in Nevada, nothing
moro would ever have been heard of it.
assert, as a matter of history, that it has been
the custom of Indian warfare for our troops
to kill Indian children under such cireun,-
stances. Maj Updegraff, now at the Presi-
do, informed my counsel that Gems. Candy
and Siblcy, of the United States Army, had
been in the habit of allowing their mon to
kill Indian prisoners, and even children, when
their parents had been killed, and there was
no convenient way Of providing them and
as tic President of tho very court martial,
which has just gone through the farce Of
trying Inc, admitted to my counsel that,
while in command in Arizona last winter, be
ordered his men to kill all Indian child,
which they did by shooting it four times. al
legiug as reason therefor that he had ro
means of either feeding the child or taking
it with him, aud to leave it on the plain was
eertsin death. Mai. Roman, we'll knowa in
this State, aud who has lived many years on
the Indian frontier, tesli6ss to this custom,
