Generals Sherman and Marcy.

The following is an extract from the OH
cial journal Of Generals Sherman and Mar
cy's tour through Texas duringthe months
of April, May, and June of the present
year:
"This afternoon about 4 O'Clock several
Kiowa chiefs,am them satanta, Satank,
Kicking-bird, and Lone Wolf, came to the
agency to draw their ratiOns.
'In talk with thesagents :Satanta SAID
he, with one hundred warriors, had made
the recent attack upon the train between
Forts Richardson and Belknap; that they
had killed seven teamsters and driven OIL
forty lone mules! u II W tss
"This he considered flleritorious act,
and said that ifany other Indian claimed
the credit of it he would be liar; That he
was the man that commanded. He point
ed out Tall ireland nnotherchief as rfav-
ing been with hfm In the action.
General Sherman Immediately ordered
the three chiefs to be arrested and turned
over to the civil authorities. The journal
goes on to state that, "Satanta, seeing that
he was likely. to get; into trouble, replied
that, although he was present at the fight,
yet he did not kill any one himself, neither
did he blow his bugle; that the young men
wanted to have little fight and take a
few white scalps, and he was prevailed
upon to 60 with them merely to show how
to make war, but that he stood back dur
ing the engagement and gave directions"
This plea did not satisfy General Sher
man. The rnurderers were turned over to
The civil authorities. The General thinks
that it is the only way to do in such eases.
His journal goes on as follows:
1.-The, benevolent civilizing, peace policy
so urgently advocated by a class in the
Eastern States has received long and eX-
detrimental trial with these Indians. They
have been regularly fed, and the kindest
treatment ex ended to them for two years
by our authorities, but it has not had the
slightest effect. They have no more con-
ception of gratitude than so many wolves,
and they have continually been stealing
horses and mules, murdering men. ravish-
ing women, and enslaving children be-
sides, they have not. only openly acknowl
edged, but have boosted of these atrocities.
There was hardly day during our trip
through the frontier, settlements of Texas
tat we did not hear Of some persons who
had suffered from Indian raids, and there
seems to be- no prospect Of, their ceasing.
The question has resolved itself into this
that the border settlers of Texas must all
be annihilated, or .the' Indians chastised
and disarmed. ~ 20 bn.i go se ~.
MANY of them have the best modern
arms and they know how to use them
well, which has-giyen them confidence in
their ability to cope with the whites in
battle. They kill the buffalo with the bow
and arrow, and tliis is about the only ami
NAL they hunt. They reserve all their
ammunition for war purposes, and it is a
we'll known fact that they will sacrifice al
most anything to get amDunition

Drs. Carlton and Lanahan at Peace.

DR.. Carlton and DIR. Lanahan passed the
day yesterday seated, as usual, together IN
the elegantly fitted Agents ROOM at the
Book Concern. DIR. Carlton says his only
reason for resigning was the unpleasant
predicament into which he is thrown by
the Bishops action. How" he. asks,
would any one like to be placed at the
head of such an establishment as this,
with man for second in command who
had said such things of him as Dr. Lana
han has said about me? / determined [
would not stay here under those circuni-
stances, and l placed my resignation in
the hands of a member of the Committee
the night before it was read, and then /
went home and had better nights sleep
than I've had in a long time. Now that
the Committee has refused to accept the
resignation. 1 must stay and get ON with
the work the best 1 can. This, great Con-
Germ cannot 60 unattended to. The situa-
ton is unpleasant, but must make the

and heat and forcen about the matter of
the frauds, offering, if any one viii show
that he has misappropriated the Mission
airy SOciety's money, or anybody else's
money, to give them all his property q
DIR. Lanahan said, smilingly, that every
thing would be harmonious between 5le

bound, go on with his work i'm the bindery,

THE MAD WOLF.
Death of One OF the Victims from Hydro
.tftH.fa inhObja. ..t.. ...


; A letter received yesterday by Mr.. NJ. X.
Sherwood, of this city, from Col. Z. ii.
Cawker, of Cawkerz City, Kansas, gives
the unexpected intelligence that the boy,
Nebraska Stevens, who was bitten by a
mad wolf about the 10th of May, died a
few days ago of lhydrophobia. The wolf
attacked the dogs On-Mr. Stevens farm,
about sunrise, when the boy ran to the as
sistance of the dogs, intending to shoot
the wolf The ANIMAL as soon as he laid
ewes on young Stevens, attacked him; the
bow, becoming confused, only brought his
pistol to a half cock, and the weapon
failed to 90 off when the trigger
was pulled. ,IiT The wolf got the
boy down and tore his face very severely,
till Mr.. Stevens, attracted by the screams
of his son, went to his aid, and, with the
assistance of the dogs, succeeded in driving
the wolf off. The animal attacked a
man named Carter about an hour after
wards, and Was shot and killed by Mr..
King Belk, who went, to lCarter's assist
ance. This wolf attacked, the camp of
some herders near Cawker, the night be-
fore he bit young Stevens, where, in en-
deavoring to drive him from among the
cattle, two of the herdsmen, named Selbig
and Slay back, We're injured by the wolf
Slayback on the cheek and Selbig on the
nose but it was thought that these
wounds were the result of scratches and
not bites The whole party came to this
city for medical advice, and Slayback il
now at his home in the, neighbOrhOod OF
Easton. The wolf was judged to be mad
from the strangeness of it's behavior. and

How A WOMAN KEEPS A SECRET.-Iti is
all old quib upon women that woma q
cannot keep secrets; but the fact is they
are the only part of humanity that can.
A wife keeps husbands secret incompar-
ably better than he does hers. We calcte
late that there is one drunken wife to, about
four hundred and ninety-nine drunke i
husbands. In gambling, RIGHTEOUSNESS,
lying, cheating, hypocrisy, covetousness,
there is pretty near the same proportion,
Yet of the four hundred and ninety-nine
wives, four hundred conceal, -eovefu ST.
lently endure the terrible secret; while the
one husband mourns over his wife's frailty
in the study of his pastor, and to the ear
of his friend, and probably complains Of it
to court of law. 1t is the same between
brother and sister. The secrets woman
talks about are of the kind that are unim-
portant and mostly agreeable to hear. But
of serious secrets she is as retfCent as the
grave. That is our observation, and IN
our various relations of physician, lawyer,
and unordained minister, We have had oI-
portunities for great deal of observation

Twenty years ago the whole amount OF

Twenty years ago the whole amount of
improved land in Minnesota was only
n neteen hundred acres. Ten years ago it
had increased to more than half a million
acres, and in 1870 the titled land amounted
to 1.S63,3l6 acres. The population has in
creased in about the same ratio. Thus, in
1850 the whole number Of people in Min
nesota was only 5000; in 1860 twas 17O,-
