ing horses, and few independent scouts
only are mounted. The citizens OF Gen.
trail City have raised $4,000 to pay for
Indian scalps, and offer S25 each for
"scalps with the ears on" Gov. Hunt
has promised the volunteers that they
may hunt Indiass 10 their own way and
retain any plumber they may secure.
The prospect of booty brings out more
men than can be equipped. On the 18th
q party OF sixty whites were attacked at
O'Fallon Station by Indians, and during
the fight nine Inians were killed, AT
Fort SedgwiCk Gel. Dodge had tied up
citizen and administered to him $50
lashes because he sold whiskey to SOL
diers.
Fort Randall, lately attacked by the
Indians, was commanded by Maj. Joseph
Bush, OF the 22d Infantry, formerly OF
Montpelier and Brandon, Vt, and pop
ular officer of the Vermont militia.
Mai. Bush writes under date of 9th inst.
that his scalp is still on his head, bot
that for three days and nights previ-
ously the Indians had not given him
moments rest. In this connection it
may be stated that Maj Bush was twice
recommended for brevet by Maj. Gen.
Sherman during the rebellion for gal
lantry in the field, and will no doubt
give good account OF himself and his
command in the forts.

~ We Knew.

II we knew the woes and heart-ache
Maiting for US down the road,
IL our lips could taste the NORWOOD,
IL our backs could feel the load,
Would we waste today In wishing
For time that ne'er can be-
Would we wait with 81 CHI impatience
For our $ fps to come from sea-
II we knew the baby fingers
Pr9sred against the window pane,
Would be cold and stiff tomorrow,
Never trouble us again
Would the bright eyes Of our darling
Catch the irown upon our brow,
"oulp the print OF rosy fingers
Vex us than as they do now
Az, these little ice.cold fingers,
iiew they point our memory back
To the hasiy words and actions
Strewn along our backward track
How these little hands remind us,
As in snowy grace they lie,
Not to scatter thorns-but roses
For our reaping by'and-byl
Strange we never prize the music
Till the sweet-voiced bird has flown;
Strange that we should slight the yiolets,
TIL the lovely flowers ara gone;
Strange that summer skies and sunshine
Never seem one half so fair
As when the winters snswy pinions
Shake their white down in the air.
Lips from which the seal Of silence
None but God can roll away,
Never hlossomed in such beauty.
As adorns the mouth to-day;
And sweet WORDS that freight our memory,
With their beautiful perfume,
Come to ua in sweater accpnts
Through the portals of the tomb.
Let us gather up the sunbeams,
Lying all along our path;
Let us keep the wheat and roses,
Casting out the thorns and chafT;
Let us fod our sweetest comfort
In the blessings of to-day;
With patient hand removing
All the briers from our way.
