THE NCRzWEHr P:EIEIT RAIL
Road.

From reliable information We learn
that this Company are making strenu-
GUS efforts to continue their road
from Bismarck to Yellowstone Cross
ing. All connected with that road are
industriously at work to put the affairs
ct the Company III shape to pros
ecute the work in the spring. They
eel gaeat confidence in their ability to
r.. is1 the necessary means to Keep on
I'M ding The road. All interested are
;upr> >ssed with the necessity Of ex tend-
inr II , Montana at the earliest mo-
ment 20. ~iblc, and we are assured
thai in a Very si,oattime the Company
viii announce the result of present
negotiations \ Hich they do not doubt
will be highly SUI "cessfa!. They mean
to let &. who are interested i'll the
progress Of the great enteih nse>know
villa. is proposed to be done 1874, SO
that there will he no suspense LII the
public mind in regard to their iHtare
operations. This they owe to them
selvet as well as to all who hayc be'n
shaping their business Oh account Of
the Northern Pacific Road, and We
trust, if thoscsn authority. or any OF
them, happen to see this article, they
will take heed to it, and let the people
Ct Montana especially, know if they
mean to do any work west Of Bismarck
this summer. Many of lis have OPP
posed other schemes by which the
Territory might be connected with
railway communication. because OF
their belief that the Northern Pacific
would be built to Montana at an early
day. George w. Cass, President OF
the road, gave such an assurance over
one yea: ago, and we trust he will now,
as early as he can, inform the people
of Montana what his Company intend
to do as to the further and immediate
construction of The road. We shall
cut this article out Of the COURIER
and enclose it to President Cass, and
trust he may have some good news to
transmit in answer. The citizens of
this Territory ere deeply interested in
the Northern Pacific Railroad, and are
anxious for the road to be built at
once, and would give it aid, if neces-
sary, provided it would reach Montana
sooner BY such assistance. Certainly
with the great wealth and influence of
the stockholders Of this Company, it
appears to us that they can overcome
all difficulties in the way of prosecnt-
ing the work. They ought certainly
reach Yellowstone Crossing before the
end Of this year, and We have not never
entirely lost faith in their doing SO,
Notwithstanding the financial difficult
ties they have met with.

Dear Courier:
We have Laid by here today to givt
some parties, who were behind, time
to catch up. We have now 142 mel
in camp with quite a number behind
who will up in few days. Nineteel
wagons are now in camp and moro
coming; and, taking the Expedition
altogether, it is the best lot Of men
ever saw enlisted in a similar enter
prise.
The report of the Indian outbreak
at the Red Cloud Agency gives the
boys renewed courage, as it relieves us
Of the responsibility Of causing an In
dian war. We have been detained
some hunting our stock, the hcrde1
being unable to prevent some OF the
stock from straying off, as is always
the case when a party first starts out
but as soon as the stock becomes &C
cnstomcd to running together they
will be less troublesome in herding.
We are under many obligations to
DR.. Wright, Captain Cross and others
at the Crow i gehcy for favors extend
cd us at that place, which will be
gratefully remembered by all. Rev
Mr.. Bird is doing &l excellent work at
that place Us teacher, missionary, &c
There are now enough white children
at the Agency to form respectable
school, besides a large number Of those
Of a darker hue are in attendance and
am informed are making respectable
progress.
The wind has blowed all the time
since we have been OIL the Yellow
stone and the flying dust is almost
as unpleasant as the snow about Boze-
mcn, yet it seems pleasant to travel on
dry ground once more.
The boys took q general wash at
DR.. Hunters Hot Springs. The Doc
tor has the finest bath l ever saw, and
it is q luxury worth travelling for. The
Yellowstone White Sulphur Springs
will be a Notwithstanding resort, ia
nous throughout the land. The en-
ergy and courage which DR.. Hunter
and family have displayed during their
occupancy Of that place is deserving
of success.
BY the way, Cameron and Hollis,
our artillerists, tried their guns today
with satisfactory results, and we are
assured that in case of trouble they
will give good account of Themselves.
Messrs. Buchanan, Bean and other
we'll known "brave men" joined our
party to-day and and many others will
do SO soon. The men of the noun
tains and prairies say it is an oppor-
tunity they have been waiting on
for years, and they are confident that
rich mines exist in the country we are
going to.
I must close, as it is rather hard
work to write by the light of \ camp
fire with the wind blowing at the rate
of q knots per hour.
Yours, &C., 20"

CROAEING AND CkOIEEHS.

| CKOI AND CkO-iA ELS.
Some weeks ago we published eli
article with the above heading, and
several gentlemen not thought OF then,
took it to Themselves. Well, if the cap
fits them let them wear it, but it is
strange that the loudest complaints Of
the times come from those who have
tire most Of this worlds goods. One
friend Of ours who thinks the bottom
has fallen out OF the Territory, owns
two or three fertile ranches, lots Of
town property and besides this has
large expectations that will in the
course of nature be realized. It is this
class that are worrying themselves and
their ncighbors about distressful times.
They are impatient to be ricll-not
content with a respectable competence,
they are discontented. We think it
would be the part Of wisdom to enjoy
the competence already secured and
wait patiently for the turn Of the wheel
Of fortune. 1t is always revolving and
comes round to all in the end. Into
the laps Of some it pours plcntifully,
others do not get as much, but all are
benefited i'll measure. 10 these
croakers we give wcrd OF advice.
Do little honest hard work, and the
blues, that vcx the idle, will vanish,
and they will not cherish so much
faith in ruin. We admit that times
are not as prosperous as they have
been, but abundance Of what sustains
the real wants OF man exists and is on
hand. 1t cannot always be thus
times viii be better, and good de
manl spring up for all we have to
spare ere long. Let us exercise Il little
more faith and trust an All-wisc PrOvi-
dcncc. and never relax efforts to pro
luce all we can-avail ourselves OF
seed time and harvest as heretofore,
and when the demand comes, as it
surely will, supply it. We do not see
that the prospect before lis in Gallatin
valley is any worse than it was a year
ago. In fact, there is more encourage
mcut for this years business than last.
There is no doubt that an extensive
warfare will be made against the Sioux
early in the summer, and that there
will be an increase of military force
west, where hostile Indians are carry
ing on murdcrous raids. We feel as
sured that the government means to
clear the path from Indians for the
Northern Pacific Railroad-that it in
tends to have its mails brought safely
on the new routes established by Con-
gress. These routes are from Chey
enne to Bozeman; from Buford via
Masclesl ell to Helena; from Bismarck
to Muscleshell, and others not now
between this and the East.
lherc can he no question that much
Win lie done by the government, in
which this section will have direct
interest, and our people should not be
.lisco urased by croakers, from cultiva-
tins a cir farms to their fullest extent,
ind raj. Se all the oats, wheat and other
grains I. hey can. They will have a
letter n:. rket for them next fall than
asst, we do. Gberately believe. We have.
IL abiding faith III the future and be-
icve we Ii. I've passed through the
risis.

THE INDIAN SITUATION.
[From the Cheyenne Leader, nth inst ]

(From the Cheyenne Leader, nth inst
The editor Of the Chicago Times de
string to obtain authentic information
in regard to the Indian troubles in this
vicinity, telegraphed yesterday morn
ing to the editor of this paper, asking
for daily dispatches giving the situa
ton of affairs.
In order to contradict the assertions
of the Omaha Herald and the tele.
grams sent over the country from that
city, we forwarded yesterday afternoon
the following dispatch:
To THE EDITOR CHICAGO TIMES
The Sioux, Arrapahoes and Cheyenncs
may be considered as having taken
the war-rath, a step long contemplated
by them and discussed in their coun.
ellis for year past. They have been
extremely insolent for some time and
sought pretexts for offensive opera
tons. They have been we'll treated
and amply supplied with all the neces-
saries of life by the gO|ea1lment; they
have entered upon course of savage
deprelations out of pure cussedness.
Their line of operations extend from
Laramie Peak in the north, to the Re-
publican valley in the south, thus ex-
posing our frontier to- their attacks
and depredations for over three hun
dred miles. They commenced their
depredations simultaneously along the
entire line, which proves pre- concerted
action Oh. their part. On Monday last
they murdered Lieutenant Robinson
and Corporal Coleman near Laramie
Peak, Mr.. Appleton at Red Clouds
Agency and wounded and robbed
Mcssrs. King and Reddington on Lau-
rens Fork, near Sidney, Nebraska.
The government will need 5000 more
soldiers here to protect the lives of our
citizens and property. The few troops
stationed: in this locality are mad
q ,uate for the purpose; all they can
do 1T present is to hold their posts and
skirla;;sh in the vicinity of them, thus
The Indians free to 60 where
they choose.
