Survey of the Public Lands.

We are indeed glad TO learn that the
surveys in this Territory will be COM
menced the coming season. We are sad
dened, however, to know that the APP
preparations made by Congress for that
purpose are entirely insufficient to accom-
plish anything, scarcely enough to run
the ba.e and meridian lines of the Terrific
ry. The agricultural and grazing portions
of the Territory are fast settling up, and
from present prospects, the addition to our
population the present, will be greater
than in any former year.
This state of facts imperatively de-
mand that the public surveys be made
with all possible speed. Perhaps the
great necessity of public surveys is not
felt as much in the mountain and mining
regions as in the agricultural localities.
Population is invariably followed by traf,
fc and trade, and whether the rights of
parties to real estate be vested in them,
through presumption, po7sessory or dona-
ton laws, conveyance Of such right
requires description which is net SO
easily given before as after sectionizing.
While public surveys are beneficial in
this regard, they are also, a source of rev.
enue to the general government. 1t is
to be hoped that the present session Of
Congress will not adjourn until it has
made such appropriations as will meet
the growing wants Of our people.
In this connection permit US to say
that we are glad that the duties of sur
veying have devolved upon Hon. L. f.
Cartee. Upon no man Of our acquaint-
ance can We look for greater certainty Of
the faithful execution of his duties. Mr..
Cartee was formerly resident of the
State Of Oregon, where he filed several
stations of honor. He was member of
the Territorial Legislature the winter Of
1866, and was elected speaker of the
house Of Representatives. To his honor be
said, that while so acting, no appeal was
ever taken from the decision of the chair
Added to this, his intimate knowledge of
his business called into requisition, his
services in the Surveyor Generals office
of Oregon, post which he held to the
entire satisfaction of all for many years,
and you can at once see his adaptation to
his present position. A gentleman in
every sense of the word-we have, and
can have but one objection to him, which
we give as freely and gratuitously as we
awarded the need of praise; and that is,
the political company he keeps we con-
slider incongruous for man with his
known good sense and purity of charac-
ter, and integrity of purpose.
The only excuse We have to offer for
the above depression is that we desired
our readers to know into whose hands

THE INDIANs' OWN ACCOUNT OF THE
FORT PIIlA. IzlGAI2N MASSACRE.

THE INDIANs' OWN ACCOUNT OF THE
FORT PIIiL. I&nAI&NY MASSACRE.
During his last visit to Bozeman City,
says the Helena Herald of March It'll,
Neil Howe met and conversed with
white men, who had been out gathering
furs and trafiicking with friendly Grow
Indians, from wi ON they learned the
first tangible, and PROBABLY as reliable
and detailed account as we will ever get,
Of the manner in which that unfortunate
band of soldiers were exterminated, and
so horribly butchered, near Fort Phil.
Kearny.
The Sioux savagos who participated
in the battle related the affair, together
with their stratagem used, to the Crow
Indians, about as follows:
They (the Sioux were about 1000
strong-ull warriors, without their fam
lilies with them. Reaching deep cody,
or rayne, near the Fort, the main body
Of Indians were stationed on opposite
sides Of the defle, lying close to the
ground so as not to be seen, while they
sent small number of their best riders
on dash up to near the post, where
the Government hcrses and mules were
loose, and stampeded them. The COM
mauder of the post sent out about ninety
men and officers to pursue the Indians,
and recover, if possible, the lost stock
The retiring small band of Indians went
slow enough to encourage their pursuit,
and led their pursuers into the morrow
dcfile, where hordes of demons were
waiting to destroy them. The trap was
successful in every particular. After
the little command Of troops had fairly
entered the deep canyon, the Indians
lining the sides of the mountains on
either side, raised, and fred yolley Of
arrows and bullets, killing OIL the spot all
but II of the soldiers, and every officer.
These II, though number of them
wounded, the Indians say, fought brave
ly, aud killed some Is OF 20 of their
number-amou;s them the three princi-
pal chefs-before they were shot down.
But there was one Of the brave boys in
blue whom neither their arrows or bullets
would fell; though he had numberless
wounds, he stood up and fought hand to
hand till overwhelmed by their closing
upon him, and carrying him off priso
ner to their camp, where he was finally
tortured to death The savages say,
that aside from the force lining the fatal
defilc, they stationed 600 of their picked
young warriors near the post, SO as to
make sure Of its capture in case the
troops remaining within it should be
sent out to the relief of their comrades.
But this was not done, although they
could plainly hear the firing from the
post.
We presume this is as faithful an ac-
count as we will ever be able to obtain
concerning that most shocking wholesale
butchery known in the annals ofwestern
warfare. 1t is certainly the most rea-
sonable version we have heard or read and
are strongly inclined to believe it is cor
rect.

The Last Battle.

The Memphis Aralanche, claims, that
Gen. b. G. Hill was the last Confeder-
ate Officer who SURRENDERED himself and
forces-and who fought the last battle
of the war-but, we are informed, this is
a mistake. The Last battle of the war
was fought near Brownsville, in Texas,
in the latter part of May, 1860. The
Confederate forces were commanded by
Colonel Ford, of the Texas Cavalry, and
consisted of his own regiment, which
numbered about 600 men, and battery
of Light Artillery, under Capt. Jones.
They attacked early in the forenoon, a
Federal force coming from Brazos Sam
tiago, which consisted of two regiments
of Negroes, and white battalion Of
Western Troops. Ford, with his Cayal-
ry alone, succeeded in arresting the pro-
gross of the Federals, until he could
send for the battery, the horses of which
were grazing on the prairie, II miles
distant. The battery came down on the
field at a gallcp little before sunset,
when the attack was made in earnest and
in short time terminated, not only in
the defeat, but rout of the Fcderals.-
The combat took place very near the
field Of Pala Alto, and was close to the
Rio Grand, on the Mexican Shore, Of
which thousands of spectators were as
sembled to witness the battle. The en-
tire battalion, or, rather the survivors of
it, we're captured and parolled. The ne
groes fled in all directions, and took ref
ugc from the their encmys cavalry in
the long grass and swampy ground bor-
dering the river Many secreted them
selves in the swamps, and others swim
ming the Rio Grand, were pistoled by
the spectators-night finally come to
their rescue, and put stop to the
slaughter, This was absolutely the last
conflict of the war, and like the first field.
fight, (Big Bethel terminated in favor
of the South
The last surrender was Of the whole
of the armies of the Trans Mississippi
under Gen. Kirby Smith to Gen Candy.
The date was the End day ofJune 1865.
The last Confederate force ever exist
ing in state of organization was Gen.
10. Shelby's Division of Prices army.

THE STUDIOUs FARMER.

None are SO likely to adapt their crop:
to the quality of the soil as he who has
made the nature of that soil study and
none SO apt to apply the proper manure,
as he who has made him self familiar with
the composition Of fertilizers and their ef-
fects upon different plants. No man is so
likely to make really valuable improve
ment in an agricultural machine as the
farmer who, while using it, sees its defect,
and possesses the mechanical skill and
training to originate and construct. 1t
is, in fact, from the efforts of men like
this that the real Advancement of rgricul-
ture must be derived !; and by futher i'm
provementS in the management of crops
aud of stock, in machinery and in manure,
farming will be brought to claim its trne
giguity, and become in name as it is
already in fact--a noble scente,.

TRICKS OF HORSES.

Many horses acquire, in various ways,
the very Objectionable habit of breaking
loose, if possible, when and wherever tied ;
others get into the practice of kicking,
particularly at night, in their stalls. Both
of these habits can be, in most cases, over
come. For pulling at the halter, tic two
ropes round the horses neck or to strong
hcadstall have one rope too strong to be
broken, the other rope only strong enough
to be broken by good, strong pull; tie
the weak one about eighteen inches short
er than the strong one. When the horse
pulls he will persist until he breaks the
weak one and the strong one brings him

Portable jerk. not being prepared for such
a result. He also, to his surprise, finds
himself securely tied. If he should pull
in your presence, let him have his own
way, use no interference; when the weak
rope is broken, adjust it as before, In the
most quiet, mild manner. This may re-
quire to be done several times; but feel
almost certain that in a short time the
plan will succeed in overcoming the hab-

MICE.GNAwED TREES.

We mentioned in cur last weeks papee
the method employed by one Of our sub
scribers to restore the life Of tree that
had been injured by the mice. The plan
has its advantages, but more simple and
equally effectual one is to take several
small twigs of the tree, cut them long en-
ough to reach over the space where the
barhs been guawel and inser them under
thebark both below and above the girdlcd
place. Insert sufficient number Of these
for the sap to aecend, bind outside Of them
a piece Of elm bark or even an oilcloth,
and in short time the woun will entire
]y heal over, ard the tree will ccntiL ue
grow.
Mice seldom attack old trees it is those
with young and tender bark that they ae
most liable to gnaw. The mulching that
some frmers use about their trees, however,
furnishes good house for mice through
the winter, and more injury often results
therefrom than if no mulching we're used.
We recently passed an orchard that had
been mulched the present fall With straw.
Now this straw about the trees will surely
afford protection to the mice the coming
winter.
Had it been put oil last spring, it would
have got somewhat decomposed and settled
together by this fall SO that the mice would
not have iahabited it. The sameis true of
nearly all substances used as mulch, such
as coarse strawy manure, straw, chip dirt
sc. They should be put round the trees
IN the spring, as by such coul SC they
really do more good as "a mulch than if
put on in the fall, aud mice will not il.
fest them through the winter.
