A Sioux City Iowa. paper says: We
learn the following interesting particu-
lars of the death Of the noted Indian
farmer Yellow Hawk, and his wife and
dog, near Fort Sully, from Col: Bannls-
ter, who has just returned from the
upper county: 70 "a 81 4.
Yellow Hawk was shrewd old Indian,
who had abandoned his native mode of
life to great extent, and gone to farm
ing on the Peoria Bottom, a fertile piece
of land in the up river country. BY his
industry and economy he had accumu-
lated wealth enough to purchase a horse
and cart, with which he has been in the
habit for the past few years of traversing
the country, and disposing of the pro-
ducts of his farm to the different forts
and posts within his reach He always
carried with him a canvas tent, which
he would pitch whenever he saw an APP
preaching storm. z
About three weeks ago there passed
over Fort Sully terrible thunder storm,
and in it old Yellow Hawk yielded up
the ghost. On the day following the
storm party of men happened to run
upon little canvas tent, pitched upon
the river bank. There wereino signs of
life about it, and one Of the men, out of
curiosity, went to it and lifted the can
vas door and stepped in. There, in one
end Of the tent, sat Yellow Hawk, erect
and rigid as a statute, with his eyes wide
open and one hand firmly grasped on a
dogs neck, and the dog standing on his
fore legs, and partly sitting on his
launches, staring wildly in the same di-
rection as bis master, while on the other
side of the dog was the wife of Yellow
Hawk, resting on her elbow upon the
ground, and staring in the same direc-
ton that the other occupants Of the tent
were gazing. The man was inexpressi-
bly, terrified by the spectacle, and his
first impulse was to run; but there was
something so wildly strange in their eyes
and in the general expression of their
features, that he was bound to the spot.
Not a muscle of their faces moved, and
they held their position like statutes
they were dead iiQfs jii4
The balance of the party were at
tracted to the tent by the prolonged abb
sence Of their comrade, and they saw
the scene above described. They left
the tent without disturbing the attitudes
of the dead, and vent on to Sully and
reported their discovery. A party Of
soldiers Immediately repaired to the
spot and found them stil in the same
positions.
1t is presumed they we're killed by

ELECTIONS TOMORROW.

The following States hold elections

will show a Democratic gain in all those
States, and particularly in the old Key

present has five Democrats in Congress
shd will probably return twelve. The
canvass has been warmly entered al
over these States, and the vote will have
a great bearing on the complexion OF

The prospects for the reelection OF b.
A. Enloe, the Democratic candidate for
Representative from Carroll county,
Tennessee, are very hattering. HI
Senator Morton will remain in Indiana

their party in local matters is Of more
importance to the Radicals than the ma

The Chicago Times says; Missouri
has furnished the latest definition OF
disloyalty.' 1t consists in an effort to
confer on white men equal political
privileges with negroes. Carl Schurz
and tiratz Brown are traitors"
The Radical factions of Missouri are
preparing to rend each other at the fall
elections. Their greed and lust for spoils
have made them reckless, and the honest
men of the State anxiously await the re-
suit

In the earlier part Of the war, John A.
Logan was making rebel speech in
southern Illinois. On one occasion the
American flag, with which the platform
was ornamented, excited his wrath, and
he thrust it aside with the exclamation,

The labor platform party Of the Second
district of Massachusetts have nominated

Democrat, and for that reason he was

From all parts of the country reports
come of splits in Radical conventions
The Radicals are not satisfied TO wait
until the people will be made sensible OF
their corruption and prohigacy and drive
them from power, but are beginning to

end is not far off
The Republicans Of New York, despair
ing Of carrying the State ticket assert
that General Woodford does not care for
an election. he will make more by de-
feat than success, for in the former case
be expects that General Grant viii give
him paying Office in consideration Of
his being a martyr.
The negroes of Georgia are clamorous
for Office. They have nominated can
didates from every district in the state.
The Radical papers are disguised be-
cause the negroes urge their color as
their strongest qualification. Having
so long aattered them on account Of
their color, the Radicals now find it
difficult to object to their claims.
The Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Commercial RADICAL wrote
March Eth as follows, in regard to the
resolution to expel Roderick Butler for

The whole Tennessee delegation

GEORGE SANDS NovELs.-The world has
very much discussed the:novels Of Madame
DUpEvANT, whose nom de plume is GEORGE
SAND. Fora long time few could be found
to defend her. Her works sold and were
denounced, and she continued to write with
little regard for the denunciations heaped
upon her. She is enc Of the French writers
Of fiction who invent moralities that are tole-
rant of the passions and apolgetic Of Illicit
social HE. 1t il wonderful to see the inge-
nuity Of these writers in Clothing the ungo-
vernable impulses with garb SO gentle and
pleasing asto hide their deformity and screen
the terrible gulf to which they lead from OBJ
servation. A defender Of GEORGE SAND
against the charge that her works are
indicate declares that Gone Of the
"worst characteristics OF her works is
the ,delieaey and beauty OF her style,
which thus ceEnmends to pure and inno-
"cent minds certain doctrines that, broadly
"stated, would repel and shock them" This
is probably very true. So that the princi-
pie maintained by her that our errors are
society's and our virtues our own has been
no doubt engrayen upon the minds Of many
who httls understood its real purport. :

mendation of the adoption of the Georgia
law of '6S upon that subject. Before the
question was taken upon the proposition,
Mr.. FORBES moved substitute for it, which
sounded almost like satire upon the whole
proceeding. 1t proposed that forced sales
should be made upon acredit OF " one, two,

FoszEs certainly gave them enough. But
they wanted something better still.
In the debate MIR. FORBES showed conclu-
siyely that the Georgia law was not compati.
BILE with our Constitution. But that did
not satisfy his friends. They stuck to the
Georgia policy, and "ordered" (says the
report in each paper the people Of Vir-
ginia who concurred in their view to hold
meetings and memorabilia the Legislature
