AN INDIAN CAPTIVE.
A Romantic Story of westcra Life.

From the st. Better Minn.) Tribune, May 2O.l
From letters written to Charles s. Bryant, Esq., OF
City, WIS.,, we gather curious story of Indian life
The story s told by Mr.. Freeman in the following ex
tracts:-
KILBouRNE CITY, May l6, 1868.
On behalf OF popular meeting, composed OF cit
zens OF this place and vicinity, held last evening,
write y0u The occasion OF said meeting was boy
sixteen years of age, who on the 14th inst, left
camp of Indians, now within one mile OF this city,
and asked protection of our citizens. The camp Is
occupied by the squaws, as the men are of for a
dance few miles. The Indians are Chippewas and
Winnebagoes The facts as elected from the boy are
as f0llOWS:-He says his name Is Chauncey Case,
and his fathers name is Simeon Case, and his
mothers maiden name was Sarah Van Worn4r
was very small boy, and settled in Min
nesota-he thinks in Wautona, but we can
Watonwan He says that six years ago heap Of
Indians came to his fathers in the night, and they
got up and made light: then 'Whlte Jim (who is IN
this camp threw his arms around rim this father and
Good BIZ scalped him and then tomahawked him.
also his mother, two brothers and two sisters, and
then took hun across the wood to Mr.. Berry's, and
he saw them kill the family One more family,
named salisbury merchant, we judge, was their
one boy By the name Of about
boy was taken by and along with this band, but the
Old, says he got away In the night with his fathers
father had a farm OF more than one hundred acres,
and paid 5000 for it, with frame house, and that the
Indians did not burn 1t, but did burn Berry's, and
that he had seen them kill many men, women and
children.
He has not been allowed to 60 to any White settle
ment or town, and has not seen but one for six
winters" except this. We took him to the camp,
and the squaw said the Indian brought him home
and gave him to her; 'my boy" "goOd boy cry If
he go off," and such like expressions.
posse OF some fifteen or twenty have just started
FOR the camp some twelve miles from here to arrest
any and all suspected of or known to the boy, as
guilty Of numbering during that raid Of Sioux i'll
1862.
The citizens Of KilbOurne, we learn from later
note, have failed to Overtake the Indians who evil
IDENTITY expected trouble on account Of the boy. Both
camps referred to by Mr. Freeman have disappeared.
BY examination OF the books at the land once we
find the names cease" and salisbury recorded as
entering land in the vicinity OF Watonwan, and these
facts taken in connection with others, lend some
color OF probability to the boys romantic story.

Frank Blair on Gen. Grant.

The Leavenworth (Kansas) Times tells
the following:
Hon. Frank P Blair, after his speech
in this city, in the presence of a number Of
gentlemen, and in reply TO remark that
''Grant was fool, said
'Sir, you are mistaken. Grant is no
fool. | know him well. / knew him be-
fore he went into the army, and when he
used to haul wood into the city of st.
Louis | met him often in the service
[ know the man. He is the greatest man
of the age. Sherman, Sheridan and ThOm-
as are good men, but Grant is worth more
than all of them Oliver Cromwell and
Napoleon Bonaparte were both great men,
but. sir, | tell you that Grant is a greater
man than Cromwell and Bonaparte put
together. He is not talker, but he Is
one cf the d-dest thinkers in the world.
He is ambitious, but he don't show it and

he will set up monarchy and establish

controlled by such men as Sumner, Wilson
and Washburne p

would sweep them away like straw
But General, don't you think that
circumstances have done a great deal for

"Why, the fellow has made the circum-
stances. | tell you that it is no luck
The man that can spring right up from
poverty and obscurity and do what he has
done is no mere creature of circumstances.
Circumstances don't run so much IN one
way"
II am Democrat, but if General Grant
is such a great man as you say he is, L am
a Grant man from this out"
sWel, if you want despotism, vote for
him but if YOU want a republican form of

him. l know that he is great man,
and in saying so | simply tell the

Gen. u. S. Grant.

Eight years ago, when a Republican
Convention at Chicago nominated Abra-
ham Lincoln, q man not altogether un-
known. and wherever known respected,
the country was taken by surprise, rrt
rallied to his support as no old favorite
had ever been supported, and In the terri
BILE years that followed gave him place
In the popular heart never accorded to any
one except Washington. Now the coun-
try is not only not surprised at, but actu-
ally demands the nomination or man

people had never heard when Lincoln was
called from his quiet life at Springfield
Both Western men, and both residents of
Illinois. though born the one in Kentucky
and the other in Ohio, they were nOmina-

bv National Conventions held in the me-
tropolis of their adopted State. Lincoln
had mission to perform, and the Conven-
ton of 1860 called him forth to perform it;
Grant has that work to complete, and the
Convention of 1868 asks him to complete
it. His record in the past shows the SIN

sue the task allotted to him in the future

1922. at Point Pleasant, Clermont county,

the expense of his name, Hiram Ulysses.

which inscribed him Ulysses s. could not

neither can that name be blotted from the

4th Infantry He served through the
Mexican war, receiving brevets OF First
Lieutenant and Captain for meritorlous
conduct at the battles OF Molina del Rey
and Chepultepec. After the war with
Mexico he continued in the army for a
few years, and wEile serving in Oregon IL

next year he resigned, going into business
at ST. Louis, and in 1859 he removed tt

Oh, sweet and fair | oh, rich and rare
That day SO long ago,
The Autumn sunshine everywhere,
The heather all aglow.
The ferns were clad in cloth of gold,
The waves sang on the shore
Such suns will shine, such waves viii sing
For ever, evermore.
Oh, fit and few oh, tried ard trueI
The friends who met that day,
Each one the others spirit knew;
And so in earnest play
The hours flew past, until at last,
The twilight kissed the shore
We said "Such davs shall coma arai,--
For ever, evermore.",
One day again, no cloud of pain
shadow Ger US cast,
And yet we strove, in vain, in vain,
To conjure up the past;
Like, but unliks, the sun that shone,
The waves that beat the shore,
The words we said, the songs we sang,
-unlike-evermore.
For ghosts unseen crept in between,
And, when our songs flowed free,
Sang discords in an undertone,
And marred the harmony:
"The past is ours, not yours" they said,
"The waves that beat the shore,
Though like the same, are not the same,
Oh, never, never more I"

up the way for Sherman's Great March To
the Sea- Then the National House of
Representatives passed a unanimous vote
of thanks to Gen. Grant for his victories
and ordered medal to be struck In his
honor, while both Houses of Congress con-
Cured IN the passage of an act reviving
the grade of Northumberland, a rank
never held by any one except Washington,
and Grant was recommended for the post,
it being prescribed that the Lieutenant
General should have command of the
armies. President Lincoln formally pre-
sented him with his commission March 9,
1864, and having opened up the path to
the final victory in the Southwest, he at
once proceeded to pave the way in the
SOUTHEAST.
The Grand Army of the Potomac,
srrsa=ting aissser ats many misfortunes, not
withstanding the bright spot Of Gettys-
burg upon It's banners, and its imperishable
record for heroism, needed the prestige Of
Gen. Grant to give it confidence in itself.
Those noble veterans felt that success was
assured when they found him willing to
join his great fame with theirs, and to link
his destinies with their fortunes. He re-
ceived his commission from the hands of
the President, with but few words and
without indicating his purpose, left the
Executive presence to begin his advance
upon Richmond. The Rapidan was eros
sed and Lee fought in the terrible battles
Of the Wilderness then he advanced to
the North Anna river, and making flank
movement upon Cold Harbor, fought an
other sanguinary battle, the assault upon
the Rebel works at that place and then
IL
the enemy, he crossed the James and in
vested Petersburg. Desperate engage
ments followed, and, during the invest
ment, he mined and blew up Fort He'll, a
Rebel stronghold with the view of taking
the town by assault; but the operation
failed, with severe punishment on our side,
and heavy losses to the enemy. This, to-
gether with the desperate straits to which
Lee was reduced, embOldened him to take
the offensive, and on the night of the 9th
of March, 1865, he moved three divisions
Of his troops before Fort Steadman, and
surprised and captured the position Be
fore night, it had been retaken. and at the
same time the battle of Hatchers Run was
fought, continuing until evening. On the
I'd of April, the Rebel intrenchments, with
5000 men, at Big Five Forks, were cap
+---.aI a,,6 On attack was ordered alpno the
ended in driving Lee from his works and
the abandonment of Richmond Lees re-
treat was cut off by the rapid movements
which Grant instituted, and on the 9th of
April, just one week after the last great
battle, the army of Northern Virginia ca
pitulated. Soon after, the Rebel Gen.
Johnston surrendered to Gen. Sherman,
on the same terms granted by Grant
to Lee, and the Great Civil War was
over.
If Gen. Grant was appointed to the
command of the armies, with a rank never
before held by any one except Washing
ton, greater honor, if possible, was in store
for him. He is now simply General of
the United States Army, and will soon be
President of the United States.

happened which ] am about to relate.
Tired with long lectures and hard study,
I was out one evening for walk in the
