Indian War.

In INN d rr.nn.. l..

General Sherman has received the
following dispatch
In THE FIELD, Fort Conn,
IND. TERRITORY, Jan. /.
GENERAL The destruction of the
CamanchS village by Col. Evans
command gave the final blow to the
backbone of the Indian rebellion
On the night Of tho 3lst of Decom-
Der, delegation Of the chief men Of
Cheyenne and Arrapahoes twenty
one in number, arrived at this place
on foot; their animals not being able
to bring them in. Tehy said they
ruled the villages, begged for peace
aud permission for their people to
como in--asking no terms, but only
for a paper to protect them from the
operations Of our troops while en-.
route. They report tho tribes 10
mourning for their losses; their peo.
pie starving, their ponies dying, their
dogs all eaten up, and no buffalo,
We had forced them into Canons on
the western edge of the stakod plains
where there were no small game or
buffalo.
Thoy arc in bad fix and desire TO
surrender Internationally. / acceed-
ed to their terms and will punish
them justly, and | can scarcely make
an error in any punishment awarded
for they all have blood upon their
hands. Yesterday we received few
papers, the first for month, anI /
sec it is alleged by the Indian agents
that Black Kettles band were on
their reservation at the time they
wero attacked. This is false. The
reservation extends but thirty miles
up the Washita from Fort Cobb
Tho battle took place 100 miles up
that stream from here. 1t is also al-
legged that the baud was friendly
No one could make such an assertion
who had auy regard for truth. The
young men of this band commenced
the war. | can givo their names
Some Of Black Kettles young men
were out deprcdating at Fort Dodge
when the village was wiped out
Mules taken from our trains, mail
matter carried by our murdered
couricrs, photographs, stolen from
the scenes of the outrages on the
Solomon and Saline rivers, Kansas,
were found in the captured camp, |
aud in addition, have their own il
lustratod history found in their cap
tured camp, showing the different
fights or murders this tribo were en-
gagged in, trains attacked, hay par
ties attacked about Fort Wallace,
and the women, citizens aud soldiers
killed.
1t is ut the service Of any one de-
siring information on this subject
1t should be known also that | invi-
ted Black Kettle and his family to
come in, through the Arrapahoes
Chief, Little Raven, in my interview
with that Chief at Fort Dodge, in
last. They did not come.
Yours, Respectfully,
Signed, 7. IL. SHERIDAN,
Maj, General Commanding.

Snaoia Payment,

The Nation has the following on
the matter Of the resumption of spe-
Gle payment, which may be considers
ed somewhat sound. 1t puts the
question square on its merits:
On the question Of resuming spo~
Gle payments there has been no light
thrown since the opening Of Con-
gress. Senator Morton, who has
made himself the director Of the pro.
cess 10 the Senate, has been spend.
ipg the holidays carrying on soUe-
what oomieal discussion about it with
Mr.. Greeley, the opinions Of the lat.
ter having absolutely no value, ex.
oept as an indication Of the owners
child.like aud beautiful confidence
in human nature. The country is
flooded with letters aud pamphlets on
the same subject from other sources
and we shall not trouble our readers
with further notices OF them, Many
contain much that is valuable, but
life is too short for the profitable pc
Tusal Of them, The best advice We
can offer to simple souls for thoiI
guidance amidst the prevailing din
aud confusion and confint Of testi'
mOny is to cling firmly to this one
idea, that government can only
procure gold by taxation, loans, OF
plunder; that gold eoiu is a luxury
which we sold as too expensive for vi
when the war broke out; that If ell
ther government or people want tC
get it back to use as a circulating
medium once more, they will have Il
buy it or borrow it, just like q sill
dress or a buggy. With these apho
Tisms suspended from his neck, any
body may plunge into the melee an
creek skulls over the question Of ho'
TO buy the gold most cheaply-fo
that is really the only question un
der debate-with a fair expseiatio
Of coming out just as cEsditably a

A correspondent Of the Herald ro.
Gently had a conversation with Gem
eral Frank Blair in Washington, The
general still holds TO his expressed
opinion that General Grant will make
a dictator or an emperor of himself
before he leaves tho White House,
His modest doportwent is simply
deep dissimulation, and Que of the
measures always rosorled TO by am.
bilious men since Julius Caesar thrice
refused the crown. The country is
already ruled by a minority who de-
mand the aid of bayonets, aud it will
be easy for Grant with his military
power, to make himself supreme.
Frank might also have added tn,
name Of Horatio Seymour to that o.
Julius Caesar. We believe he refus
ed the nomination for the Presiden,
ey several more times than did tn,
other ambitious man refuse tn,
crOwn. From the foregoing para
graph our readers will discover tha
Blair, the younger, still lives, and i
az sober as ever.

A negro named Mark IIanley, per.

named Jones, residing near German

take nearly five hundred dollars in
gold belonging to her father. On
discovering their fight the greatest

captured. 1t is believed the negro
has been lynchcd.
A few nights ago a man named
Wcathers, living in the lover por-

boy, four years OF age, to spell word

the child until the flesh upon its
body was iaccrated in many places.

Sue. Murphy.

This woman has heon for some
timo pressing a claim Cor 81 900 be-
fore Congress.
Her claim is based upon the fact
that when, in 1864. Gen sherman was
engaged in foTtifying Decatur, Ala,
il became necessary to destroy pri.
vate property, Among this was q
house and some out-buildings belong
ing to Sue Murphy. For this money
she has been earnestly working for n
long time, aud with some considora-
Bile show Of success. 1t was rcpre-
sentcd that she was n loyal person
an as such was enttltG to re mburse
ment for her loss. She was backed
up by outside pressure, consisting of
all the rebels 10 Washington aud in
the Senate by Hendricks Of Indiana,
aud Garret Davis Of Kentucky. The
rebels saw, or thought they saw, in
her success an opportunity to regain
come Of the means they lost when
playing for tho high stake of sep.
arate government. They wero salts.
fed that Sue got her losses made
good their chances for dipp ing into
Uncle Sans purse were sure, for she
was as much a rebel as any of them,
These whispers began to reach the
dull ears Of the Senators aud Sues
loyalty was looked into and it was
found that, true enough, she had been
rank rebel, aud had done as much
rs she could to forward the interests
Of the Coniedcracy. The matter was
finally brought to vote in the Senate
and the majority decided that this
woman should return to her home as
she came.
That the decision was wise one
there is not tho least doubt Had
the claims Of Sue Murphy been al.
lowed and paid, a precedent would
have been maze for paying for the
property of rebels destroyed by war,
aud every one Of them who had los I
dollar would have presented a bill
for payment, and have demanded iu-
tersst till settled.
Such proceeding would have been
n fine pill for the people to swallow
If taxes are heavy row, what would
they have been had this thing sue,
eeededr There wouldn't have been
enough money made in the North
esch year to pay the interest on the
claims these rebels would have
brought,
Good bye, Sue.
