Yes, that is what the people of other States
and of the countries of EIIrnnn WANT To

Yes, that is what the people of other States
and of the countries of Europe want to
know about the State of Tennessee. We
have such information touching the public
lands of the government in all the States
and Territories published in the English
language in voluminous reports, but we
need to have them distracted and trans
lated to the different languages spoken by
the various nations of Europe, and pub
ished and circulated in cheap editions for
their general use and benefit. Almost all
the State Governments of the West have
collected and published the best informa
ton about their State lands and reso urces
in pamphlet form, in different languages,
for free circulation. That has repaid them
well. Thousands Of the best class of i'm
migrants have settled within those States,
enrichiDg them with their capital and la
Dor. This is greatly needed in Tennessee !;
there are thousands yet in the other States,
and millions in other countries, and very
likely many hundreds if not many thou
sands of it's own inhabitants, that know
but very little about its rich resources, and
many advantages. And how can they,
when the State Government itself has been
indifferent about these important matters
for so many years. | believe that new
era has commenced in all the Southern
States, especially in Tennessee, and that
from hencefOrth the history of their pros
perityin everything that is good and hon
Orablc will be written in letters of god.
And | hope that the present Legislature at
Nashville, will pass the most liberal law
to encourage and aid immigration to the
State. In my next letter L will shew you
and others what information and aid we
need for this great purpose.

DIR, HUStCn Again.

BALTIMORE, March 3.-The libel suit o
Rev. DR.. Huston against the Baltimore
american, fer damages in 100000. was
this morning stricken from the dOcketFOf
the Superior Court, by order of Judge Dob
bin. The case was continued for two
terms of court at the instance of Illusions
counsel, and then the defendant was put
under rule to give security for costs. Fail
ing to comply with the rule after three
months notice, the case was dismissed and
the plaintiff non-suited. q
The american, whilst expressing regret
that an opportunity has not been offered
to test the truth or falsity of its charges
before a competent tribunal, is pleased
that the unfortunate children will, through
the failure of Dr. Huston to prosecute his
suit, be relieved from the necessity of once
more dragging before the public the un-
savory story of their sufferings. Public
opinion has long since disposed of the case,
and the american says that this abandon
ment of the suit will serve rather to
strengthen conviction which is nearly
universal as to the facts of the case.
The Indictment of DR.. Huston by the
grand jury of the Criminal Court is still
pending, though the sheriff has not yet
been able to find the accused.
The Conference of the Methodist Church,
South, assemblies in Baltimore on Wednes-
day, when the church trial of DIR. Huston
will commence. 1t is not yet known
whether Huston will be present. CfnciR

Another Murder In SOdGm.

On Friday, 2Sth of February, William
Brady, and Henry Patillo, from some mis-
understanding, got into fight i'll Robert
.Eycn's yard, they fought a while and were
parted by some men who were standing
by, when Brady picked up q piece of scant-
ling and followed Patillo few steps and
struck him blow OH the head. Patillo,
it is said by an eye witness, made no effort
to ward off the blow, fell to the ground.
After laying on the ground a few minutes
and with considerable effort got up, and
walked to his house, about seventy-five
yards Off. Sitting on a chair few min
utes, he called for something to lay down
Oh and requested his wife to squeeze his
head, after which he spoke no more. The
accident happened about shutdown and
Patillo died about 2 o'clock in the night.
Brady has business away from heme.
This is the fourth man killed in less than
a mile of Robert Even's house in the last
four of five years. .|s .r.....-.

BENTON, MONTANA, August 20. The abund-
ant preparations made by the Yellowstone
expedition for the rrceptintf;cf the Indians
have been fully justified. On the 4th hof Au.{
gust demonstration was made by . small
party Of Indians against General Custer, who
with Bloody Knife and q squadron OF cay
airy bad been detailed by General Stanley TO
20 on several miles In advance OF the wagons
md look up the road. These Indians were
easily driven off, but they proved 6 decoy
Of large party In neighboring wood wait
ing in ambush for the cavalry.
Finding that their ruse had failed, the In.
aiaus, to the number. of 300, boldly rode out
and advanced on the grove occupied;by the
cavalry. General Custer had only one squad
ron Of 80 men, nnder command OF Captain
Mayier. These men were dismourted and
! skirmish line formed. The indians also
dismountedl and formed semi.eircular line
around the cavalry, who had the river at
their back. After fight Of three hours
General Clusters ammunition gave out, and
he then charged che indians, who ded preei.
pitaicly, dropping many Of their equipments.
One man and one horse wounded formed
The extent of Clusters loss. The Indians
Fhad two killed and several wounded, besides
losing several ponies.
While the fight was going on, several In.
dianS who were searching for straggers
from the train came upon DR.. Housinger,
veterinary surgeon; Mr.. BolariD, suffer;
and John Ball, Of the cavalry, and killed
and stripped them Of their clotaes and
yaluables. ~. j"
General Stanley directed General Custer
to take the cavalry, numbering 400 men, fol-
low the trail, and if possible overtake and
punish the Indians. General Custer left on
the 9Th, and on the morni ng of the 11th he
was attacked by about 800 Indians, who
came down to the river and fred on his camp.
The fire was returned for two or three
hours, both parties using the trees as a
cover. A party of 800 Indians then crossed
the river and endeavored to gain the bluff
in rear of the troops, but they failed, and
General Custer ordering a charge the men
pursued the savages for eight miles. just at
chis time the train came, and fire was opened
on the Indians with artillery. A few shots
dispersed them, and the fight ended.
The battle was quite fierce one. Gene
raj Custer and his adjutant had their horses
shot under them. Lieutenant Broden was
badly shot in the thigh. General Clusters
orderly was killed, and twenty soldiers
slightly wounded. Several horses were
killed and wounded. The Indian loss Is esti-
mated by General Custer at forty killed and
wounded.
The expedition is now homeward bound,
and expects to reach Fort Rice by the lst OF
