YOUNG MEN BRuTALLY MURDERED.-The
steamer Peninah, which arrived from Fort
Benton yesterday, brings information of an
outrage committed by the Indians on the
Missouri river at place forty miles dis
tant from Fort Peck, and between this fort
and the Round Butte, Montana. .s.i,'2
1t appears that on Saturday, April 14th,
the following persons left St. Louis for Mon
tana by the ,Peninah: Messrs. Lyon, Bur-
ton, and Jones, from Virginia II. Laubie,
j. W.rWhittaker, and Henry Pennington,
from Pennsylvania and Mr.. B., F. Dow
dali, of St. Louis. Mr.. Dowdall is the son
of Mr.. J. 7. Dowdall, one of the proprietors
of the Washington Foundry. He is a young
man of twenty-one, and he intended to 60 to
the gold mines.
On the trip Mr.. DowdaIl became ac-
quainted with the other parties mem
toned, who expressed their intention Of
establishing woodward; he entered with
them into the project. They landed at the
place where the tragedy occurred, estab-
iished business, and built log cabin,
This was on the 24th of May. On the 4th
of June the Peninah, after going to Fort
Benton, called at the place, and brought
some letters for Whitaker, Laubie, and one
or two others of the party, from Fort BEN
ton. Whitaker and several other members
of the party went on board the boat when
it landed, and all were seen to be in good
health. They said they had had no trouble
with the Indians, but that a shot had been
fired at one Of them while hunting. The
party had forty or fifty cords of wood cut.
The boat came down to Leayenworth, and
went back to Fort Stevenson while there,
man named Michael Tobin came to the
boat in yawl and gave the officers the
particulars of the terrible tragedy. 1t ap-
peared that this person had, in company
with man named Michael Burke, sailed
down the river in skiff, and landed OF the
woodward mentioned. Here the bodies OF
-four of the young meniWe found, much
mutilated, and their scalps cut on. Nothing
could be seen Of the rest Of them.
Z The bodies of Laubie and Whitaker
were recognized, but Burke did not knoH
the other TWO I one of them was, however
thought to be that Of the, young Mr. Dow
dali, OF ST. Louis. It is feared that the res
of the party have shared the same fate.
I Burke sailed down the river until he 60
to a woodward at Lecqui Court, when b,
got on the 'Peninah and also gave infcrma
ton of the bloody tragedy. He came t

BILLS PAssED.-Among the bills passed
on Saturday were one for the protection Of
American citizens abroad the funding
bill; the freedmen's bureau bill lover the
veto) the amended bankrupt bill the bill
to prevent rebels from suing Federal officers
for any act done as officers, however illegal
and outrageous and the Pacific railway
bill. Most of these bills were doubtless
signed by the President.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1868-07-28

The new funding bill provides for two
classes of bonds, respectively of thirty and
forty years, the first bearing interest at the
rate of four and half per cent, and the
latter at four per cent, principal and in
terest payable in gold. 1t is not exactly
Pendletonian in its features.

some breakfast, but felt 30 unwell | did
not eat much. went from there to Yer

Rowe to write letter for me to Mr.. William

money that was due me from gold mine
company in the county of Spotsylvania.

in company with Mr.. Edmond Dunaway !;
did not remain there but few minutes,
and as we came on from the church | told
Mr.. Dunaway that had been out meat
hunting that day, but did not get any, as
Mr.. Young was not at home, and asked
him if he could let me have some. He said
at first no, and then asked me what sort Of
meat wanted. So told him that would
take shoulder and middling. Well, he
said, could 60 on with him, and he would
see his wife about it. So we agreed on a
price, and went on together from Mr.. James
NJ. Jacobs's mill to his house; and after
We eat some dinner we went in his meat

PRoGREss.-Columbus sailed to the

st. Domingo. List week a vessel from
st. Domingo unloaded in New York over
four hundred tons Of st. Croix Rum for
P. II. Drake q Co., of that city. This is
but a few weeks supply Of this article,
which these gentlemen use in the manu-
fscture OF the celebrated Plantation Bit
ters. We are informed by an exchange
that Messrs. Drake & Co, have not sd-
vertised a dollar for a year, but that the
GALES of this article continue at the for

II PEPPER CASE.
The Two Human Fiends are
Fined $50 Each.

The case against the man Pepper and
his wife, for cruel, brutal and iDbumsD
treatment Of a little chill, was yesterday
morning taken up By Commissioner
Richards and disposed If by flung each
Of the precious couple fifty dollars. In
default OF this sum, they both were
locked up in a cell ia the first district
station house. We are sorry that this
case has thus baen disposed Of. We have
been informed, from day to day, that the
Grand Jury Of the Municipal Court had,
or would have, the case under con-
s~ideratiOn, and that criminal pro-
eeedings would be instituted against
this fiendish couple. 1t seems, however,
that the information was not correct, and
they are about to escape with the paltry
fine OF 500. On the principle mon bis
IN GdeH," we suppose hat the fine i'm
posed, closes the prosecution Of the case.
The facts ia this affair develope the most
awful and terrible cruelty imaginable,
and are a disgrace to the age in which we
live. The oms was in the daily habit
OF cruelty beating and starving the poor,
helpless child, and % the occasion which
caused their arrest, she and her husband
had secured her 30 that she could not
move and then scared her face, neck and
shoulders with q red hot iron! Such
cruelty is almost too hOTrid 10 believe
and yet the testimony wss there-the
pCO- little scared and manned creature
herself, being the most IBcontrovertible
and awful witness Of the crime.
We hope for the sake of humanity and
eiviliz alton That ONE further steps Will
be taken toward the punishment Of these
two devils in human form.
