Indian QuestIon-MIssOurI Pacific
Railroad

ST. LOUIS. July 2s.-A letter from
Ellsworth, Kansas of the 23d says the
Indian question has resumed new
phase. All the tribes that were at Fort
Larned have left and no one knows
where they have gone. Small parties
Plains, but they hold no communica-
ton with the whites, which is a sign
they mean mischief. The opinion pre-
walls that they have gone South with
their women and children, and that
they will soon be on the railroad line
and routes traversed by trains with
hostile purposes. Reports arrive daily
of their killing people and robbing
trains. Gen. Sully is still at Larned
and has ordered the troops in his depart
ment to concentrate on the line of the
Arkansas river. Fort Zarah will be
fully garrisoned and other preparations
made to meet any exigencies that may
arise.
A mortgage of the Missouri Pacific
Railroad for seven million dollars has
been filed in the county recorders
Office. This mortgage is to secure the
bonds issued by the company to pay
the State five millions OF the purchase
money for the road. Under the legisla-
tive act OF last winter one million and
half of bonds known as the Dresden
bonds, given some time ago to Work
on that part of the road west OF Dres-
den, and the remainder to change the
guage of the road SO as to conform with
the Kansas Pacific Railway, and place
the road in complete and effective
working order. The amount of pur-
chase money will probably be paid in
Missouri State bonds, which money
will reduce the State debt to that
amount. The mortgage is in favor of
Uriah A. Murdock, Jas. Punnett and
Luther G. Clark, and the bonds are 10
run 20 years, are payable in gold at
New York, and bear six per cent inter-
est. The stamp on the mortgage
amounts to seven thousand dollars.
CHICAGO, July 2S.-A letter dated
Fort Ruiord, July II, says that the
Indian Commissioners made treaty
at Fort Hawley with the Gros Ventre
Indians. and were awaiting the arrival
of the Yellow Stone Sioux for a like
purpose. The Gros Ventres have
agreed to make a settlement and &C.
cept the reservation in the Milk river
to keep peace with the white
and all indian tribes save the Pagars
and Black feet, with these tribes they
are determined to make their own
terms,

NEW YORK, July 2S.-The Herald'z
st. Domingo special says: The revolu-
tionary movement against Boez was
in active progress, but the rebels had
not accomplished anything very decis-
i've, and the government remained on
the defense with all its force. Troops
had been marched to Risba, Malaz
and the northern provinces, but the
commander avoided collision with
the insurgents.
Gen. C1riel has been dispatched on a
government mission, going in the di-
rection of the gold regions of Cabao.
The Senate has been only installed.
The sentences lately passed on some
of the revolutionary Generals have been
reversed by the legislature, but others
have been ordered for trial.

.IANING HoRsEs.-The horse is cle
of the most powerful, ambitious and sea-
sible of domestic animals, and yet, in a
certain sense, is far from being hardy
one. In this respect, the horse IL not
equal to the rough and tumble usage which
the mule or even the o. can bear without
exhibiting marked signs OF the severe dis
cipliue to which they have been subjected.
In reviewing the many horses daily
thronging the streets of tue larger towns
and cities. the number of defective oues
can scarcely fail of being remarked:
Some are ailing in the fore limbs, others
in the hind ones, and not few in both
This is not necessarily the result of age,
defective blood, nor of special hard work,
though Iii some instances it may be so,
but much Ottener is the consequence ot
Careless handling, or positive cruelty on
the part Uf those to bonn they are en-
trusted.
As has been already iutima ted, the
horse, in d certain sense, is delicate an
i,nal, aud il pouuced upon in passion
while cncumbered with harness, and pos
sibiy with load too heavy for easy mo7e-
t1eut. the chances are that efforts to escape
punishment VIII result in such an over
tension of the muscles IS to produce per-
manent lameness.
Every one conversant with the rough
aud tumble work Of the farm, the lumber
forest, stone quarries, the docks and the
Ike, will have encountered many difhcul-
tI,s IL which teams and teamsters have
their powers Of endurance severely tried.
Both become excited and fractious, and
whatever the fault, if fault there be, the
horse is likely to receive pretty severe
treatment if not permanent damage. Not
few horses are famed under such clrcum-
stances, while others are injured by want
of proper consideration on the part OF those
having them in charge-not from positive
Ill treatment, but by carelessness In Plac-
ing the animals in such situations as to
cause unwOnted exertions to escape from
an apprehended danger.
Rough, boorish men are not suited TO
the care of an animal having the spirit,
tenderness and susceptibility of the horse,
anG if they were less frequently en-
trusted with the management OF stable
stock, there would be fewer limping and
comparatively valueless horses In our pub
lie thoroughfares than there are at pres
ent. The greatest care, it is true, cannot
prevent accidents to horses In al! cases.
but with proper attention the number OF
the Ealting ones would constitute the ex-
ception, and not the rule, as is now too Of
tee the case.
