Military Etiquette.

Referring TO the address between the
President and General Grant, the papers
mention the embarrassment on the part
Of the latter attending the observance of
an old custom, or matter of official ctl-
oucttc. on New Year day in Washington,
viz The call on the President, which all
of the officials Of the army and navy sta
toned in Washington are expected to
make on that day. 1t is suggested that
Grant bv his absence from the city on
Friday will be relieved of his cmbarrass.
mcnt. There is another custom observed
between outgoing and incoming Presi-
dents that. if observed on the 4th of
March, will renew the kind of embarrass
ment referred to, viz: On that day the
outgoing President notifies his successor
Off readiness to accompany the latter
to the capitol, and does seat the latter in
the executive carriage and drive him to
the place assigned for his Inauguration
to take place. If General Grant declines
to come in contact with President John
son on New Years day because Of the
unpleasant feeling between them, tho same
excuse will in all probability induce him
TO wish to avoid meeting with Mr., John
son on the 18th of March. Probably this
embarrassment may be overcome consist.

The Indians Demand an Investigation Of
the Late battle with Black Kettle.
WAsHIXGroN, Jan. ?, 1865

Mr. Nathaniel G. Taylor, Commission.
err of Indian Affairs, has just received the
following address from the delegates OF
the Cherokee, Choctaw and Greek nations
Of Indians, requesting m examination
into the circumstances attending the late
battle with Black Kettles band, as q piece
Of the simplest justice to the poor red
red man:
WAsHINGToS, ID. C., Dee. Is, GS,
10 Hon. Commissioner Of Indian Affairs
The undersigned, delegates and repre-.
sentahves of the Cherokee, Creek and
Choctaw nations, appeal to the Govern
ment of the United States, through you
for fair and thorough investigation OF
the recent battle" between the United
States regular troops under command oi
Gen Custer and Black Kettles band OF
Indians, men, women and children
We are informed and believe that this
battle" which has been horalded
through The press from ono end of the
land to the other, as great victory over
hostile Indians, was in reality 4 brutal
massacre Of friendly Indians, and that OF
the l03 officially reported killed more
than one half were women and children.
Information has reached MS, also, that
some Of the slain were Chcrokces, who
were in company with Black Kettles band
for the purposes of trade and traffic
Cherokces, too, who had done good ser
vice for the cause of the Union in the
late war. Further than this, we learn
that Black Kettle and these same Indians
had lust returned from Fort Cobb, where
they had bean received and treated as
" friendly Indians" by the United States
authorities there, and were at the time OF
the attack resting in confident assurance
of the protection and good will Of the
government,
While we do not assert positively the
truth of the foregoing statements, We be
lieyc them to be true and have taken steps
TO procure reliable proof thereof. Win
not the government of the United States.
as The guardians Of its Indian we.ds, do
as ever, and alone ought tc command a
rigid examination of the matter;-
First--This bend of!ndians was under
the lead of Black Kettle. chief conspic.
nous among all the chiefs Of the plains as
the friend of the white man 1t is al.
legged by some that he had recently be-
come disaileeted.' In what solitary
act had he shown his disailection
Secoad,-The battle took place in a
portion of the Seminole nation ceded by
the treaty Of 1866, in the very heart OF
the Indian territory, and in that section
of the same which had been specially pro
yided by the government as the asylum
and final home Of those Indians.
Thir9-Thc Indians mastered by the
troops of the United States were encum-
bcrcd by their women and children and o
large number of extra ponies, and a con
siderable amount Of property not ncces-
sary and never used on the war path
Justice to the Indians, we respectfully
submit, requires that all the facts of this
unfortunate affair should be laid before
the world Very respectfully, your ODE

THE NAUGHTY OPERA" r. Emoral,
of the New York Citizen, says :" took
Sarah Jane to the French opera one eve
ming this week She asked me to 90 with
her TO explain the improprieties of " &c.
ncyieve," because she did not understand
French, and wanted to ascertain whether
ii would do for her to visit the opera with
the very mild young man to whom she
had promised her pretty hand. ...
All! our New York girls understand a
thing or two. They do not come from
the interior and msophisticated wildS of
New Jersey, though the enchanting in
nocence that gives their bcwitching faces
such a charm might lead one to think SO.
This prudent young lady had no inten-
ton of calling blush to the cheek Of
the young theological person whom She
wished to induce to become her future
escort to Oifenbgchanalian operas. SO
she boldly investigated the matter herself
and came away in n delightful frame Of
mind. Genevieve' is swectly immor-
al she remarked 20 me after the opera
was over. ''But then, | think I can risk
bringing Samuel, for he don't know a
word Of French, and won't let him see
