WHEELING W. VA. WEDNESDAY MORNING DECEMBER l.
The CeIored Troop. F.ugh, NobIy.,

Twelve hundred negroes at New Or
leans, in order to get pensions, have
sworn that they helped Old Hickory to
lick the red coats at New Orleans. AS
only two hundred negroes were with
o. Fl. on that memorable occasion, and
as the deaths of at least five hundred
of these have since been published in
the New Orleans papers, we are afraid
there is a lie out, somewhere.

Bridging the English Channel.

Chimerical as the prof ect would seem
a French engineer has drawn up two
plans for an international bridge be-
tween France and England. One plan
is for single span, the other for ten
spans of two miles each, the bridge to
spring from the chalk cliffs at Dover to
the chalky Cape Blanche on the French
coast opposite. The exact distance is
3l5 feet less than l.; miles Each span
of the bridge is to consist of five verti-
cal frames for trestlcs, firmly fastened
together. Upon this will be laid the
floor, which will be strong enough to
support twelve full trains. The resist
auce to the wind is estimated at sixty
three times the strongest gale. The
spans to rest on pillars laid in the sea.
The estimated cost of the structure is
fifty million dollars.

THOSE who administer lynch law, the
wild justice of revenge" as some one
calls it, would do we'll to ponder the
case that the telegraph reports from
Iowa in these words:
"a Vigilence Committee in Fremont,
Iowa, few days since, lynched noted
Iuf1ian named Sam. Murdoch, charged
with the murder of Henry Johnson.
Since Murdock's death johnson has
made his appearance alive and we'll"
Ii is here stated that MURDOCH is a
"noted rufliap," but tie Committee may
be mistaken in this as we'll as in their
belief that he killed JOHNSON. Ruffiau
or not, his blood is on the heads of the
men who so rashly sent him into the
presence of his CREATOR.

Sixty Dakotas Burned Alive
CFrem the Yankton Dako.aian.)

tfT6Ul inc DakOIhldh'J
Your readers are more or less familiar
with the name of Two Bear, the greatest
Iadian chief in this portion of the coun-
try, of the Yanktou band Of Dakotas.
His party met with great disaster a
short time since. They were out on a
huAt and camped at the head of Knife
river. All day preceding that night on
which misfortune came upon them, they
said the air was full of smoke, but, being
calm day could not tell the direction
from W lich it came. About midnight a
brisk breeze sprahg up, and before they
could get out of their tepees the fire was
down upon them. 1t is scarcely possi-
BILE to describe the scene of confusion
that followed or the suffering endured.
The fire eonsuIaed sixty tepees, and
burned over sixty of the Indians, besides
many of their ponies. Nine Indians
have died, and there is band of forty
tepees out on the prairie that have not
been heard from since the fire. Most OF
the badly burned, also the ponies were
left with this band. Their provisions
and blankets, in many cases, were en-
tirely consumed, and their sutterlngs In
consequence sye great.
Two Bear Says the fire was worse
than his tight.with General Sully out at
the White Hill. If the suffering was
confined to the warriors alone it would
not be so bad, but it extended to women
and children. saw one baby with its
left hand nearly burned to a crisp, the
fingers were barued off to the second
joints, and the stubs or fingers were
drawn back. Tho little thing could not
have been more than eight months old;
its face and head were also badly burn
ed. 1t was crying bitterly, the mother
mourning most pitifully. The sight was
truly distressing.
Two Bear has gone to the Grand River
Agency to see if he cannot get some
thing for tepees, as the weather is
quite cold, having frozen to the depth
of an inch on barrels of water standing
ont door

BEEF.PACKING in Chicago, formerly a
large and lucrative trade in that city,
it is asserted, is rapidly declining, the
business having been transferred to
Texas and Colorado. The number OF
cattle packed in Chicago amounted to
81, ,624 in 1860, and gradually increased
to 81, 40 in 1865. In 1866 the number
fell off to q, ,l72, aud in 1869 was only
90, $50. The cause of the decline is at
tributed to the fact that beef can be
more cheaply supplied to the Atlantic
ports from the South and West than
from Chicago.

A sick lady in New Haven was re.
Gently given TWO prescriptions, one for
liniment, tho principal ingredients OF
which were aconite (poisoD) ard chlo
roform, and the other for tonic, to be
taken in water. By some error the lady
took the liniment internally, and rub,
bed the tonic on the outside. She felt
queer and strange atterward, but some
how struggled against these feelings
and finally got better of her complaint
She was so thankful for her recovery
that, like the good Samaritan, she re.
commended the mixture to all her sick
neighbors, one Of whom tried it with
nearly fatal results.

The New York Express notices as a
"bad trait of character" of the detective
police of that city, "the teracity with
which they insist upon the conviction
of a man whom they have arrested by
mistake and know to be guiltless OF
crime even by intent. Rather than be
accounted capable of making blunder
they would put the NEST respectable
citizens among US, if they had blundered
in taking hold of him for thief into
the deepest dungeon of Sing Sing for
life"
