Desperate Fight with Indian Prisoners ut
Fort Hayes-Batte with the Indians
Twenty-Five Cheyennes and Three Soldiers
Killed.
CHICAGO, May IS, 1869.
The following military intelligence was received
at General Sheridans headquarters to-day:-Lieu-
tenants Mason and Carter, writing from Fort Hayes
Kansas, May 10. gives an account Of the killing Of
some Indians who were confined at that point.
The chiefs were ordered to remove, in charge of a
guard, from the corral to the guard
room, when they gathered in their tents,
began the death whoop, and taking out
their knives went for the soldiers. Cardigon
attacked the sergeant OF the guard and was Knocked
senseless by blow with the butt Of musket.
sheath it IN the body Of officer, when one of the
guard shot her dead. Big Head looked with scorn
on the circle of bayonets surrounding him, and
stabbed Sergeant HaZen, dangerously wOunding
him in the back. One OF the guard shot him dead.
Dull Knife tried to stab everybody near him, and he
was pricked severely by bayODets. He and the
senseless Cardigan were then disarmed and placed
in the guard house.
special despatch from Omaha says the wagon
train Of the Fifth cavalry arrived at Fort Mcpherson
yesterday under command of Lieutenant FOrbush.
1t was reported that seven companies OF the Fifth
cavalry under General Carr, while moving from
Kansas towards Fort Mcpherson, struck camp Of
about 500 Cheyennes on the 18th inst, and fight
ensued, in which the Indians were badly defeated,
ing OF large number of wounded. General Carr
lost three men killed and officer and two pri-
Yates wounded. General Carr still in pursuit near

General Dyer,s Cnse.

The Military Court of Inquiry which assem-
bled in Washington on the 9th of November
last year to investigate certain charges pre-
ferred against Brigadier and Brevet Major
General R. B. Dyer, Chief of Ordnance, for
acts alleged to have been accomplished by
him in that capacity, has reported the result
of its labors. The members set out by refer
ring to their commission, and then recapitulate
the accusations made against the General, as
embraced in the report Of Joint Select
Committee of Congress on Ordnance, sub
mitted to the Senate in July, 1868. The
scrutiny of the court was searching, and
the testimony evidently taken with careful
precision, not only on every main point of the
Indictment, but on every clause thereof, as will
be seen by our telegraph report this morning.
An adverse finding on any one of them would
have been fatal to the name and reputation
of General Dyer, both as an officer and a gen.
tleman. 1t is therefore gratifying to the
public, ever anxious for the soldierly honor of
the service, as it must be pleasing to the
General and his friends, that it has been pro-
mulgated in general orders from the War
Department that ''no further proceedings are
necessary in the matter of the complaints. p"
The Court of Inquiry was dissolved yesterday
by order of the President, complete justice
being done to O gallant officer

Summer Americans in Europe.


AS the advent of summer marks the fight of
the swallows towards regions where the sun
makes the earth glad, SO does that season
summon thousands of Americans to Europe.
For many years there has not been such an
exodus Of pleasure-seekers to the shores of the
Old World as we shall see this year. The
procession upon the watery pathway has COM
menced already. Every steamship leaving
this port carries a goodly number of travellers,
and hundreds more are already booked for
berths in steamers yet to sail. Europe will
reap large advantages from this kind of
emigration. A flood of gold-some portion of
it hardly earned and some portion very easily
will pour in upon hotel keepers, railroad COM
panies, milliners tailors and dealers in curiosi-
ties; so that all these classes, including guides,
relic mongers, cicerone, hackmen, buxom bar
maids and red-nosed hosters will have reason
to bless the prosperity of America and give
hearty welcome to the rowing part of the
American nation.
After all, this exodus to Europe is only a
proper return for what Europe sends to US in
the shape of emigration. The difference is
that we send money to Europe to be lavishly
squandered in a prncely fashion, while she
sends to us industry, capital and muscle, which
we mean to use as permanent wealth for the
development of our resources and to keep here
for all time.

has been aggravated, or rather encouraged, by
statement made some two weeks ago in the
House of Commons by John Bright to the effect
that he had a scheme of his own for the reform
of the land tenure in Ireland which he intended
soon to PROFOUND. John Bright's antecedents
are so thoroughly and notoriously anti
aristocratic that the Irish people have
taken heart and have come to the conclusion
that the bill of Lord Clanricarde is swindle.
This it is which explains the scene in the
Lords on Thursday evening. Earl Russell and
Earl Derby equally blamed Mr.. Bright and
called upon the government to disavow his
opinions. This the government refused to do.
We are thus left to infer what the government
means to do, to guess at Mr.. Bright's opinions
and to regard it as doubtful whether it will be
possible for the Quaker statesman to continue
a member Of the Gladstone adminstr alton.
John Bright evidently means to have his own
way in some things. His own way is little
too go-ahead even for Mr.. Gladstone. Unless
the Quaker can be toned down little it may
be necessary for him to retire from the Glad
stone Ministry. His retirement will neither
pacify Ireland nor make an end of the cry for
reform. John Bright is little bit of quack
but, like quacks generally, he has large fol-
lowing.

A BOSTON HORROR.

A Singular and Painful Case Of suicide-A
Boston Printer CHARGED with Bens;ly Crimes
Cuts Ills Throat with Razor.
BOSTON, May Is, 1869.
The Bosonians were considerably agltaed this
morning at the rumors on the street that Alvin p.
Rollins, an old and well known JOB printer IN the
city, had committed suicide. The circumstances
connected with his self-murder, especially those
which are supposed to have driven him to the des-
perae act are very indecent In character, and have
been the subject OF much comment here during the
past few days. In the middle OF last week he was
taken into custody on the charge OF having at
tempted an indecent assault upon a boy empioyed
A. the Parks House but his trial was postponed un-
I'll this morning, and he was admitted TO bail IN the
sum OF 3,000 During the intervening time eyi-
dence had been gathered to prove that for years he
had been engaged IN polluting the mind and morals
of the youth with whom he had been brougnf i'm
contact, and this knowledge, together with the ab.
soute certainty that hrs unnatural conduct would
be publicly exposed In court, worked upon his
mind that he seems to have preferred death rather
than be stunned and loathed by community In
which he had hitherto borne O comparatively fair
reputation.
At about eight O'Clock last evening he bid his part
In business good nvht, bat In q strange and ex.
cited manner, remarking at the same time that he
felt very much detected, and that he probably would
not be alive this morning. NO particular attention
was paid TO the remark, however, and his partner
went home and left Rollins alone In the once. At
about seven O'Clock this morning. when the ONCE
was opened for business, his dead body was found
lying upon the floor, surrounded by pool
Of blood, and his throat cut from ear to
ear. Near by was razor with which
the deed was committed His head was reclining

An Irish Archbishop the Disturbed COndi-

DUBLIN, May 49, 1869.
The Archbishop Of Cashel, the Rev. DR.. Patrick
Leahy, in pastoral letter. refers to the recent out
RACES committed In the South OF Ireland. He con-
sders 1t lamentabe that the acts OF few despera-
does should tarnlsh the fame of Tipperary, and en-
phatically denies the existence OF an agraran
spiracy The outrages, he says, were the result of
the unhappy relations existing between landlord and
tenant and settlement Of the land question IN
Ireland would be sure to diminish the number of
such unfortunate occurrences. The pastoral bids
dissatisfied tenants to look for hope to the imperial
legislature, and points out the danger OF estranging
and disgusting England by the commission Of such
outrages as have recently been perpetrated.
