AN EDIroRrAL aoLIDAY.

The knights of the quill, in the goodly
and glorious State Of Wisconsin, to the
number of one hundred and fifty. with
some fifty State officers and Others, guests
Of the Editorial Association, have recent
~ been houoring their brethren of Min

We are impressed with the idea that the
occasion was rendered as cheerful as
poor humanity is capable of enduring.

resolutions expressive of the sense of the

MISREPRESENTATION Is THE
FARSG LAW OF NATURE.

As intimaJed not long since. the In
dians have commenced hostilities along
Ghe river, fortunately not until the ma
ioriJy OF the boats have safely landed
their cargous at Benton. The congrega-
ting OF large numbers of Indians in that
vicinity, mauifesting a decidedly hostile
spirit, was reported at Omaha by Benton
steamers, and later 10y the Lexington,
the officers OF which stated that the In
dams declared no more boats should
pass above Fort Randall Why they
permitted the numerous earlier boats to
ascend without molestation, while they
made predatory attacks upon the Kansas
and Colorado routes, is one Of those mys-
ieEiOus manifestations of strategic skill
that ranks with the NaPoleonic achieve
meuls of 'G2, on the Peninsula, and is
equally inscrutahle. In this connection
comes up the opinion and suggestion of
General Buford, that the $1,000 square
miles Of territory lying north of Nebras-

route, saving several hundred miles of
the distance between this and the North
