INDIAN MATTERs.-The followingin-
formation in relation to Indian matters,
appears in the Montana Post of March
4th: r1i
From Mr.. Richards known a
Reshaw-who is conversant with their
language and has just returned from
Fort Smith, we have ascertained the iol-
lowing facts in regard to their strength
and intentions. Fort Smith, on Big
Horn river, is garrisoned by about two
hundred men, commanded by Captain
Kinnty. About thirty-fve miles from
the fort are eighteen hundred lodges Of
Sioux, avoraging three warriors to the
lodge-and under the command of Red
Cloud, the famous war chief of the recent
massacre. Subordinate to him are the
chiefs, White Young Bull and Iron
Plate. These, owing to the severe wealth
er and deep snow, have not committed
any depredations, but are prepared to
move as seon as the weather will permit
Around the fort anumber Of Grows are
camped, who have SO far been friendly.
1t is well known that bitterly hostile
feeling has existed between the Sioux
and some ofthe other tribes. In anticipa-
tion of this summers work, tho Sioux
sent to the Bloods, Peaguins and Gros-
ventres the "peace pipe" which they have
accepted and Joined the league against
the Whites. They arc camped on the
left bank of the Missouri, something
like eight hundred lodges strong. A
deputation of them to the Sioux camp
state that their tribes will soon cross
the Missouri river and camp near Muscle
shell, from whence they will wage war
OF determination against the withstand
willnever make peace until they conquer
They say the whites have now occupied
their only hunting grounds. Death i;
inevitable, and they prefere it in battle
rather than by starvation. The prin
cipal Blackfoot chief says he has livec
in the mining camps for years, that ht
has killed numbers Of whites that they
are cold squaws," and will not fight
The Arrapahoes talk for peace. "Nave,
whome many OF the emigrants will
remember as talking English and span
ish very we'll, has returned from tn,
direction of Laramie, where the troop
fred on him and his band, and still
manifests friendship. Lone Horne, who
with fifteeL hundred Sioux warriors
made peace at Fort Sully, last summer
is in trouble. 1t is believed they hav,
not warred against the whites, hut hav
held aloof from the league. Lone Horl
said to the whites, recently, "When W
made peace, last summer the Grea
Father said we should be brothers, an,
my people have not broken their pledge
When we meet the red men they hat
us because we do not fight, and whel
the whites see my people they fire OIL
them and kill them. Thisis not right
The Great Father said whoever shoul
fire first should die. If he does nc
keep the treaty, we will have I

INFORMATION WANTED.-There is
an old lady living near Princeton, in Co.
lusi county, California, who has an un-
fortunate and helpless daughter to sup

THE PRINTER.-A printer is the most
curious being living. He may have a
bank and 'quoins' and not be worth a
pcnuy-have small caps and neither
have wife nor children. Others may
run fast, but he gets along quickest by
setting fast lie may be making Sim
pressions' without eloquence; may use
the 'lye' without offending, and be tell
ing the truth while others cannot stand
while they sit, he can 'set' standing and
even do both at the same :ime-use' fur
niture, and yet have no dwelling-may
make and put away 'pi and never see a
pic, much less eat it, during his lfe-be
human being and rat at the same
time-may press great deal, and not
ask favor-may handle shooting
stick and know nothing about cannon,
gun or pistol; he may move the 'lever'
that moves the world, and yet be as far
from moving the globe as hog with his
nose under mole hill-spread sheets
without being house wife; he may lay
his form on 'bed' and yet be obliged
to sleep on the floor; he may use the dag
ger without shedding blood, and from

III THE GREAT DECLINE IN DRY GooDs
can be practically understood and realized by
calling at, or sending your orders to the cheap
Dry Goods Store Of Piper, Drake & Co., Main St.,
Staunton, wherey you can find nearly all kinds Of
goods, particularly Dress Goods, at prices abso-
lutely lower than before the war.

ing extrayagant things in advertisements; but as
really very cheap goods now be had, we
think it proper to make known the following
facts

by Express, which being bought at greatly re-
duced prices, enable US to offer special induce
ments to those in want Of goods: For instance:

burgs and English Merinos, cheap. Atwood
Scotch Plaids, black, white and colored so censt

Southern white policy of mastery inactivi-
ty" on this business of reconstruction, which
was first developed in the Louisiana election,
seems to have gained strength since the recent
Northern elections The idea seems to be that
the next Congress from the North will be so
far anti Radical as to completely domolish
the existing Radical programme and restore
the outside States on the platform Of Presi-
dent johnson. But while the present Radi-
cal House OF Representatives will doubtless be
superseded by Conservative House on the
18th of March, 1869, the present Radical Sen
ate can hardly be upset inside of four years to
come. The Southern whites of the outside

From The Philadelphia Age, (Dsm.) Dec. T.
We present to-day the message of Andrew
johnson, President Of the United States, to
the Furtieth Congress. II is an important
State paper. No Chief Magistrate of the ma
ton ever had more momentous topics to dis
cuss The perpetuity Of a republican form of
government in this country is one OF the Is
sues forced into the foreground by the action
Of Radical Congress. The dominant party
have destroyed ten States, erected military
despotism upon the ruins Of the Constitution,
changed the repositories Of political power in
States without the consent Of the people, and
in this manner set at open defiance the gov
erning power Of the country, and outraged the
fundamental idea underlying this Republic,
that governments derive their just powers
from the consent Of the governed"

We refer our readers to the message as a
full vindioation of that opposition to the par
ty in power which found voice in the late
elections in all parts Of the Union.
From the Philadelphia Press, (Pad.) Dec T.
Mr. Johnson's message is, we suppose about
what every body expected. He still clings
to the old fallaeies, and appears like one given
up to decisions.

that General Grant will reject any platform

domestic or foreign policy, he is Indifferent
whether it be Democratic or Republican, as
long as it tends to advance the welfare and
greatness of the Republic.
