WEEKLY HERALD
WEDNESDAY, NAY II. Is70.

Our little neighbOr, BOviua, Is
becoming quite progressive. The
stores there are doing fine business,
ana several new buildings are be-
ing erected. among them an Episco.
pal and a Methodist Church, both
very creditable structures. Every
Saturday is a quasi-gala day, and
Squire Ulm holds his court there,
when the law is administered to
the offenders with excellent regard
to Justice aud mercy. Vicksburg
will soon be teeming with n large
population, and then Bovina will
be a AOnrishing town, desirable for
country residences for men doing
business In this city, and who will
come here in the morning and re.
turn 10 Bovina at night.

an American citizen, was illegally restrained

The CUPsUPTIc CLUB.-The other morning
we mentioned that new club had been formed
In this city, with an eye to the improvement
Of the breed of cows, the quality and quantity
of milk, etc. On Tuesday evening the debate
upon the question, "How do we know who has
the best cow?" was concluded, the discussion
having been ably maintained by Messrs Full
Ter, Staples, Boyd, Furnish and Edwards
Brother Joshua Twombly then introduced the
following resolution:
Resolved, That inasmuch as this association
was formed for strictly evangelical agricultural
nnrsuits we discard and altogether ignore all
manifestations that tend to political or secta-
rian aggrandizement.
The resolution was advocated by Mr.. Twom-
bly. President Kurdish and Com. Truxton, and
opposed by Bros Lunt, Perry and Winslow
and after debate the resolution was adopted.
The question for discussion at the next meet
ing ISIS the retroactive element magnified
bv oleaginous nutriment?' Members elected
Tuesday evening are requested to be present
Of the next stated meeting. The meeting on
Tuesday evening was very enthusiastic one
and We are glad to see that these discussions
are awakening an interest in the right direc'
ton. Our business men are apt to be toe
closely tied down to their daily pursuits to be
able to care much about agricultural matters
It is strange too how little incidents ieaa I,
great results. These important meetings gre"

THE COL. BAKER INDIAN MASSACRE.-A SHARP
Letter FROM VINCENT CoLLYER.


WASHINGTON, March 9.-Hon. Feli1 r.
me almost as wildly as he did at the poor
Piegans, and with about as much justice. He
says in my extract from Lieut. Pease's report
of the massacre, Z" in order to do injustice to
Col. Baker and to deceive kind -hearted pub.
lie, suppressed the fact that Col. Baker took
100 women and children prisoners" If the
general thinks that it relieves the blackness of
the picture any to say that in addition to the
80 women and 80 children sick with the small
pox killed there were 100 women aud children
also taken prisoners, will add it now. Lieut..
Pease, notice upon close look, does not
make it quite SO bad as that. He says there
were 10 women and 10 children, none of three
years, and the majority much younger, some of
whom were wounded and were taken prisoners.
The General seems to quite forget that the
same government which placed him in COM
mand of the military forces of the west APP
pointed us to do our humane work among
those Indians, and virtually made it our duty
women and children, and to say to any one
who may attack them, "Cease your bloody
work, these are not guilty" OF the outrages
against the poor settlers of the border he
(Sherdan) says: I want 1t to go on" Now,
General, you know you are not justified in
any such inference as this, because will pull
aside the curtain and let the American people
see what you call great victory over the
Indians. 1t does not follow that we do not
want the men who committed these horrid
crimes which you portray with so much zest
Justly punished. Strike if yon must, bnt strike
the guilty, not the innocent.
Faithfully yours,
VINCENT COLLIER.
