which known truths rest, so as TO be not only
acquainted with the doctrines themselves.

BLACK KETTLE-We learn from General
pected already, that the story of Superin-
tendant Wynkoop, to the effect that the In
dian band attacked and routed by General
Custer was peaceable one, has no founda-
tion in fact. Major Wynkoop, 1t will be
remembered, said that the band, instead of
being composed of hostile Cheyennes, as
represented by Custer and Sheridan, was in
reality the band of Black Kettle, well
disposed Sioux chief on his way to the res
ervations on the Upper Missouri, and that
our brave troops had made the horrible mis-
take of butchering tribe Of friendly Indi-
ans. But Gen. Harney, just from the Up
per Missouri, where he has been superin-
tending the ylacing of the Sioux on their
reservations, reports that the bands of 'the
two Kettles are already there and quietly
settled in their new homes 1t is therefore
morally certain that our gallant cavalrymen
did not commit the terrible blunder imputed
to them. They could only have done so
through the grosse't negligence or stupen-
dous malignity; neither of which we would
be willing to ascribe to them. The storywe
fear was gotten up in the interest OF the In
dian Bureau, in order to prejudice Congress
and the people against the proposed trans
fer of the Indian management to the War
Department-a transfer whi,h would crush
all the fond anticipations of the Indian ring
s'at one fell swoop." We are glad to see it

Though Earth May Seem a Happy Spot.

Though Earth May Seem Happy Spot.
Though earth may seem happy spot,
Though much Of beauty lies
Upon its surface, as might tempt
An angel from the skies,
Ys. all its joys, and all its chains,
And all its beauteous things,
Act as heavy downward weight
To clog the spirits wings,
For all that seems so bright and pure
Will fade and pass away
Like changing clio uds of sunset skies,
Or. as the dews of day;
It's brightest hopes, its pursst joys
Must very soon depart,
They cannot last with their bright smiles,
To cheer the dropping heart.
Then, oh, fix not your thoughts upon
The passing things of earth,
There nothing can be permanent
That has a mortal birth;
But with faith and hope com bined,
Heayenward turn your eye,
For there are joys that never fade
Within that land on high.

THE SOUTHERN STATES.-A private let
ter from prominent and well-known South
Carolina Republican, to a gentlemen in New
York, says: Our prospects in South Car
olina, and think all over the South, are
now very encouraging, both politically and
materially. Lawlessness has ceased almost
as if by magic since the elections, and every
body seems to adopt the motto Of Grant,
Let us have pesce. Good feeling seems
rapidly returning between the two parties,
and a prominent Republican is treated diff,
ferent from what he was only a month ago.
The financial prospects of the State have
improved wonderfully within the last two
or three weeks.

ring the Revolutionary war, and is still
living 1S4S) with the Riyes family at
Oak Ridge plantation. Passing through
the garden, the procession entered the
cemetery beyond, and ON the spot which
uncle Ben had cleaned and weeded on
the morning of the 18th of May, next to
the grave of his sister Lucy, Henry Pollard
was laid. On a marble tomb rising over it
may be read these words Here rest the
mortal remains Of Henry, son of Richard
and Pauline Pollard, of Alta Vista, who
died in Louisiana on the 18th Of May, 1884,
aged twenty-five years"
As to the other actors in this strange but
true tale, Captain s. became prey to
remorse. His days and nights were passed
| in vain and frlitless regrets. In numerous
conflicts which took place on the frontier
| where he was stationed, with the neighbor-
ing tribes of Indians, renegade Texans,
Mexicans, and others, his recklessness and
daring were remarked by all. During the
invasion of Mexico by General Scott his
regin- ent was attached to the division un-
der neral Garland. It bore conspicu-
GUS part in all the actions from the taking
of Vera Cruz to the capture Of the city Of
Mexico itself. AS the army approached
the capital, the fortified heights of Chapul-
tepec, Chambussco, and Molino del Rey
were stormed with great slaughter. BreVet
Colonel, as Captain s. had now become,
led the attack on Chambussco. He snatch
ed the regimental color from its bearer, and
planted it on tho parapet, which, with few
others, he was the first to gain. He was
struck almost instantaneously by three
musket balls, and, after falling, he placed
his forage cap over his face and expired.
Lieutenant Deas I knew rather inti1
mately when I passed through Detroit in
1874. He was then senior lieutenant of
the Fifth regiment of infantry. l dined
twice with him at the mess when the Mexi-
can war broke out. He had become cap
tain, and was with the division Of the army
under General Taylor, which entered
Mexico from Texas, crossing the Rio del
Norte. He was disabled for some time
from severe wound which he received at
Resaca de la Palma, and was shot while
swimming the Rio Grande, with few men
of his company, just g few hours before the
attack on Matamoras.

THE Corn MARKET.-On the 25th Of No
vember, 1867, the quantity of corn offered
at the Richmond Corn Exchange was 1904
bushels, and prices were Sl.2O for prime
old and 95c. for very good new. ester
day there were offered on Change but 2SS
bushels of corn of all kinds, showing very
great disproportion between the offerings
this year and last.
1t is to be presumed, considering all the
glowing accounts We have heard Of the pre-
sent years corn crop, that at least there is
good crop, and consequently VIC can at
tribute the smallness Of the amount OF the
offerings yesterday to but two causes-one,
the unwillingness of farmers to send
in their corn at the present prices
and the other, disposition on the
part of commission merchants to keep
the article off the market with the view of
bringing buyers to terms. If We were to
express any opinion ct all on the subject,
we should be inclined to say that the cause
of the small offerings on Change IS the
small receipts from the country, and II that
be so, it speaks well for the condition OF our
country friends; for if they can afford to
keep their produce off the market they
must be in comparatively good clrcum-
stances-a fact at which We sincerel ly rejoice.
And here let us say O word about corn
sales as between distillers and commission
merchants. Distillers complain that when
they want corn the commission merchants
"put the screws on them," and thus com
pei them to go to Norfolk and elsewhere Tor
a supply. Whereas (so say the distlllers) II
the commission merchants were reason
able" they (the distillers) would buy. here
all the time. Per contra, some commission
merchants say "we want to make all we
can for our patrons" Whereunto the dis
tillers say 'flive and let live" is the best
rule, and will prove the best in the end Tor
all concerned.
In Baltimore on the oath instant the
offerings were $500 bushels white and
l,2i5 bushels yellow. Sales good to prime,
dry white, new, 75c. to $l.lO; no sales OF
old-quotations at s1.1o to sl.l3, nominal
new yellow, sI.O5 to $l.l0; old yellow,
$l.19 to $l.20.
In New York, same date, corn was lc. bet
ter. Sales at s1.lO to Sill for unsond
and 81 IL to sl.l6 for sound mixed western
