INDIAN NEWS. Hancock g In
dian expedition having ended it's
labors, and the troops sent to various
frontier, posts, the result is thus
summed tp: The hostile Sioux and
Cheyennes have been found out and
separated from their sworn allies, the
Kiowas, Arnpahoes and Camanches;
100000 worth of Indian property
has been burned; Kansas is free from
hostile Indians, and the Santa Fe and
Smoky Hill routes are better guarded
than before. Gen. Custer, with the
cavalry, is waiting for grass, to ena-
BILE him to pursue the Sioux and
Cheyennes; camp scurvy has broken
out among his troops, but no alarm
is felt in consequence.
MIR. DAVIS AS AN AUTHOR The
New York Times says it is already
understood to be tho purpose of Mr..
Davis to set to work writing book
giving history of the secession
movement, the Southern struggle,
and his own adventures from Decem-
Der, 1860, to May. 1867. We doubt
the truth of this report. Yet it may
be true; and surely no one is better
qualified for the task of writing q
book which shall do justice to South
ern motives and Southern measures.
MANASSAS CEMETERY FOR CoNFEDE-
RATE DEAD. ladies residing near
Bull Run and Manassas have formed
themselves into society, to be known
by the name of the Manassas Memo
rial Association, to re-inter md col
lect in one spot or cemetery tho bodies
of the Confederate dead, now scat
tered over many miles. Miss Susan
M. Monroe, the corresponding secre-
tary of the association, has identified
and had marked upwards of GOO
graves.
CARRYING IT OUT.-France and
Prussia have already begun to carry
out the provisions of the London
Conference. France has dismissed
the reserves which had been called
out, and Prussia has ordered work on
the fortificntions of Luxembourg to be
stopped. The Crown Prince of Prus-
sia will visit the Paris Exhibition in
the course of tho present week, and
ho will soon be followed by the King
and by Count Bismarck
tits said of Judge Hisc, of Ken
tucl1y, who killed himself recently,
on account of the unsettled condition
of the country, that suicide ran in
his family. His father disembowclcd
himself, some years ago, in Russell
vile, Ky, and he had also an ecccn-
trio brother, named Joseph Hise,
who jumped from vessel. between
New Orleans and Havana, and was
drowned.
Every item OF intelligence VIC re-
ccive from the West indicates that a
terrible Indian war is beginning.
The United States authorities are
hurrying supplies forward to the
posts on the border, and letters from
the West say there is no doubt in the
minds of old mountaineers that this
is going to be the worst year of In
dian troubles on the plains that we
have ever had.
A Coop ORDER.-The attention of
parties interested is invited to the
following paragraph, which we find
in our exchanges:

lar ordering all agents of the Freed.
mems Bureau to abstain from taking
part in political meetings and con-
ventions. Agents who accept nomi-
nations for Office, he says, are ex-
pected 10 tender their designations.
If the Vermonters are good tenn
pcrancc people, their fathers and
mothers were not. o. the thirty
three items of tavern bill of a
Christmas ball at st. Albans, in 1927,
twenty seven were for brandy, gin,
rum, wine, &c., and of the forty dol
lars paid, only about eighteen dollars
went for the two eatings of the thirty
five couples. and eighty cents for the
''musick."
