GEN. CANBY, whose murder by the
Indians is recounted elsewhere, was
one of the most distinguished among
our country's military officers. He
was horn in 1917 in Kentucky, grad
uated from West point in 1889, and
received a commission as second
lieutenant. In 1916 he was promo
ted to first lieutenant, and in l847 as
signed to duty as a staff oficer-as-
sistant adjutant general. During
the Mexican War he distinguished
himself at Cerro Gordo, was bre
vetted Major for gallant services at
Cherubusco, and Contreras, and was
again breVetted as lieutenat colonel
for services at Belen Gate. He
passed through the grade of Captain,
and in 1855 became Major of the
10th Infantry, which position he
held in the Utah expedition, and
served at Fort Bridger until the re-
bellion, when he was placed in com
mand of the regular troops in New
Mexico, and the California volun-
teers ordered to report to him. A
portion Of his command was de-
feated near Fort Craig, on the 21st
Of February, 1862, by the rebels, but
soon after Gen. Candy met and de-
feated the rebels, utterly crushing
them and capturing their artillery,
stores, ammunition and horses. By
this victory the whole territory under
his command was relieved of the
rebels, as the remnant left escaped
into Texas For this service he
was promoted to Colonel of the 18th
infantry, and commissioned Brig.
General Of volunteers, and was soon
after ordered to Pittsburg to take
charge of the new levies, where he
remained until the government re-
moved Banks from the Department
of the Gulf and placed Candy in
command. Here he remained inac-
tive during 1864 in consequence of
the movement against Richmond,
but early in 1866 was ordered to
capture Mobile. On the 9th of
March his forces opened the attack
npSn the forts defending the city,
which we're reduced in detail and on
the 18th of April the city was for
mally surrendered. After the war
he resumed duty in the regular army |
having been promoted Brig. General,
and been assigned to the Pacific
coast. His duty brought him into
the MOdoc difficulty, and in his
negotiations to secure peace he has
perished from their perfdy. Gen.

The negroes had strongly intrenehed them

Of clothing and provisions by the Peace Com

point about mile from our picket line. Lat
er in the evening Bogus Charley came in and
told the picket he could take his gun, that he
Charley, did not intend to go back any more
The picket brought him in, and took him TO
the tent of General Candy, where Charley
left his gun, and remained at the tent of Frank
Riddle during the night. This morning Bos-
ton Charley came in and told the Commission
that Captain Jack and five other Indians
would meet the committee outside of our
lines.
Boston and Bogus then mounted a horse.
and started for the lava bed. About an hour
after their departure Gen. Candy, DIR. Thomas
Mr.. A. B. Meacham and Mr. Diar, with Frank
Riddle and his squaw for interpreters, started
for the place appointed. The party arrived
at the appointed place and were closely watch
ed by the signal officer, Lieut.. Adams, from

STATE OF OHIO, Sandusky Co., SIS.
Personally appeared before me Notary
Public in and for said county, CHAS. H
WHITNEY, Of Mayvills, Chautauqua Coun-
ty, in the Stale of New York, and made SOL
emn oath, as follows: That he is now forty
three years of age and has for the past seven
teen months suffered severely with Diabetes,
that he considered the same hereditary, and
former Physicians SO advised him; that
brother and sister had died with the same
disease, and he was up to the 2Gih day of
March, 1873, passing from twelve 10 fourteen
quarts of Urine each twenty-four hours. His
father states he was emaciated, was losing
flesh and strength and was wholly incapaci-
tated for any kind of labor or business, and
suffered greatly from gloom and depression,
feeling each succeeding day his hold on life
was growing weaker. He further testiies
that on the said 25th OF March, lie came to the
Diabetic Cure at Green Spring, Ohio, and
commenced treatment under direction of J. L.
Brown, and found TO his surprise, that the
very first dose of Medicine, produced more
marked effect on his system, than all the
medicine heretofore taken, although he had
employed the most eminent Physicians within
his reach for months previous to the time. He
further states that after only ten days treat
ment, there was an entire change in his sys-
tenn, that his Urine was reduced to natural
condition, in color, quantity and frequency,
that he feels like new man, enjoying sound
sleep, having good appetite, and no unnatur-
al thirst, in a word, all the disagreeabIe symp-
toms of the disease having been removed, He
now feels himself entirely cured OF the dis
ease, and would earnestly recommend all per-
sons suffering with this disease to place them
selves in DR.. Browns care for treatment,
