IMPORTANT FROM GEN. sHRRIn.v

ST. Louis, Dec. ia letter from
zen. Sheridan, dated at the depot ON
North Canadian river, December al
was received at Gen. Sherman,s head
quarters to-day.
1t gives information derived from
Black hettle's sister, by Gen. Sheridan
himself, in substance as follows:
The Indians were encamped-frst
BLACK Kettle and other chiefs of the
Cheyennes and small party of Sioux,
IN all thirty-seyen lodges-eight miles
uoWh the Wachita were all the Arrap-
anoes and seventy additional lodges of
Cheyennes, also the Kiowas. Apaches
and Comanches. While thus encamped
three war parties were sent out; one
composed of Cbeyennes, Kiowas and
Arapahoes, went in the direction of
Fort Larned, and were still out. An
other party was composed of Cheyennes
and Arapahoes, and returned, the trail
OF which led Gen. Custar into Black
hettless village. This party brought
pack three scalps, one of which was
tnat OF the expFessman killed and hor-
rlbly mu1ilated between Dodge and
Iarneds just before Gen. Sheridan left
the former fort. The mail he was carry
ing was found in Black Kettles camp.
The other party was mixed one and
went in the direction of Fort Lyon and
is still ont.
About the time the first of these par
ties started Black Kettle ana one sub
chief from each band went to Fit. Cobb
and brought back provisions given
them at that fort. and while they were
gone, or about the time of their return,
the last war party referred to was sent
out.
The women are of the opinion that
they Will all sue for peace ut Fort Cobb
as the result of the battle with Custar.
they would have gone to Gen. Shcr-
idan's camp had not the opeuing at Cobb
been held out to them.
ten. Sheridan says: 81 shall start for
Fort Scott as soon as the trains from
Fort Dodge arrive, Had it not been
for the misfortune of the Kansas reg
lment getting lost and the heavy snow
which rendered their horses unfit for
duty, we would have closed up this job
before this time. As it is think the
fight is pretty well knocked out of the
Cheyennes
The Government makes great mis-
take IN giving these Indians any consid-
cradle amount of food under the sup
position of necessity. The whole coun-
try is covered with game, and there are
more buffalo than will last the Indians
for twenty years, and the turkeys are so
numerous that docks of from one to
two thousand have been seen; the coun-
try is full of grouse, quails and rabbits
herds of antelope and deer are seen ev-
erywhere, and even run through Gen
Custars train while on the march, The
reservations laid for the Cheyennes and
Arrapahoes are full of game and the
most luxuriant grass.
Black Kettles sister reports three
white women in the lodges below Black
Kettles camp.
Another letter from Gen. Sheridan
says the mules belonging to CIark's
train, also photographs and other ar
ticles, taken from the houses robbed on
the Salina and Solomon rivers in Kan
sas, last fall, were found in the In
dian camp.
The Indian women prisoners say that
most of the depredations along the line
OF the Arkansas We're committed by
The Cheyennes and Arrapahoes.

CLOSE OF THE 18th VOLUME.


With this number closes the I1th vol
ume of The NEWS. Thus, standing on
the threshold of a new year, It would be
well, before we cross, to cast a retro
spective glance at the past, and see from
its experience and trials if we may not
gather new light and inspiration for the
future. We are confident that we have
fell far short of our aims, and have not
succeeded in making our paper as inter-
esting as it should have beeh, but time
with its ceaseless march has carried us
to the verge of the new year and, while
we cannot but regret our many short
comings in the past, we are inspired
with new hope for the future, and as
We shall enter upon the new year with
increased facilities, having the. expert
ences of the past to incite us to new Wig
or, we feel imbued with enthusiasm to
go on in the good work, hoping to
achieve success in the end
During the past year our State has
been blessed with uuexampled prosper
ity. Although we have not had as large
crops as in some former years, yet our
population has increased with great ra-
pidity; many new farms have been
opened, new towns and villages have
sprung up, school houses and churches
the great guardians Of human liber-
ties-have been built, railroads have
been constructed, and almost universal
peace and prosperity have reigned with
In our borders.
Before the close of another year we
have every assurance that we shall have
railroads running into this valley which
will bring us increased prosperity
throughout this entire region. Capital
and immigration will flow in upon us.
and we have every reason to rejoice at
the prospect that the new year offers
to us.
The News, as has been stated before.
will be enlarged, and we hope to make
large additions to our subscription list.
thus enabling us to give to our readers
much more reading matter than hereto
fore. We ask our friends to help us to
extend the circulation of our paper.
We have not succeeded in pleasing
all, as that, of course, would be impos- |
sible, but have done what we conceived /
to be the best. Hoping that all pas diff /
ferences may be forgotten, let us join
hands more firmly and labor more earn
estly for our material interests and the
prosperity of all our citizens.

A MOVEMENT FOE FrMA1E Suffer.

IA INV FOK II EMA1E r.
Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, who
has recently become a convert to the
doctrine of female suffrage, gave an
earnest of his conversion a few days
ago by introducing the following bill
i'll the United States Senate:
Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representative of the United States
of America in Congress assembled,
That the word "male" in the fret sec
ton of the act entitled ''An act to reg
ulate the elective franchise in the Dis
trict of Columbia" passed on the 8th
day of January lin the year 1867, be
struck out, and that every word i'll said
act applicable to persons of the male
sex, shall apply equally to persons of
the female sex, so that hereafter Wom-
en- who are inhabitants of the said Dis
trict of Columbia and citizens of the
United States may vote at all the ekec
tions and be eligible to all civil Offices
in said District on the same terms and
i'll all respects as men.
