NONE, DISAPPOINTED.
No member Of the expedition is dis
appointed at the result Of the expedi-
tion and the belief is common among
members Of the expedition that there
are not troops enough in this depart
ment to prevent the immediate occupa-
tion Of the country by miners.
Why not occupy the
BLACK HILLS?
It IS now we'll known that though the
Black Hills country belongs to the In
dams, it is not occupied BY them, and
is seldom visited by them. Because OF
their superstition it has been held as
sacred spot to them-as the
HUNTING GROUND OF THE GREAT sPnIT,,
and, just here, permit me to remark
that the belief prevails among the COM
mand that if the Great Spirit should de-
termine to seek hunting ground. he
would go no further than the Black
Hills for it.

It is fact recognized By all, that
there are no finer grazing lands IN the

the Black Hills, and none can see any

port to the Adjutant General, Depart
ment of Dakota, dated, Bear Butte, Aug.
18th, 1874.
THE RETURN.
The General describes the march from
Harney's Peak to Bear Butte, which
was made with much difficulty, and
adds that the expedition will return by
different route, exploring still further
the head waters of the little Missouri
with view to locating correctly, that
river, of which comparatively little is
known, especially of its head waters.
THE EXPEDITION
will reach Lincoln Aug. 31st.
The report continues: The expedi-
ton entered the Black Hills from the
west side, penetrated through b the east
ern and most southern ranges, explor-
ing the iner portion, and passed out
through the North Eastern range, which
forms the boundary of the Hills.
.- NOT AS REPRESENTED.
From the fact, that in all our marches
through the Black Hills, we have taken,
without serious obstacles, heavy laden
train, Of over one hundred wagons, it
may be inferred that the Black Hills do
not constitute the impenetrable region
heretofore represented.
THE ENTRANCE. .a
In entering the Black Hills from any
direction, the most serious, if not the
only obstacles, are encountered at once,
near the outer base. This probably
accounts for ss-- @5"-'a !.

which has so long existed regarding

sideration and final decision.

r,orted what had been accomplished by the

Pat. Walsh, the popular Deaderick street
Squire. found himself in strange company
Tuesday night, but acquitted himself hand
somely. He had attended the COlyar
meeting as johnson Democrat in a spirit of
kindness and Cancellation. He did not pro-
pose to support any measure conflicting
with the interests of the Democracy, and
felt convinced that the eut-and-dried pro-
gramme would, if carried out, prove a fire.
brand in the ranks. That this programme
fell through, is largely due to the efforts of
the Squire.

Supervisor X. r. Cobb reached the city
early yesterday morning, and will probably
leave this evening for Washington. His
friends attribute the charges preferred
against him, in connection with the seizure
of distilleries in New Orleans, in the arti-

malicious, motives on the part of the per-
son who reported the case to that journal.
The Lebanon Herald learns that the

Mr.. d. r. Grafton, of Denton, Texas,
and late of Chattanooga, is at present in

so solicit from our citizens, in any sums
the means of each may allow, contributions
for the erection of a Cumberland Presby-

occupied by all other denominations free,
when not IN actual use by the congrega-

also be glad to know that he returns TO the

fall.
Hon. Dorsey B. Thomas was in the city
yesterday and returned home by this morn

not considered fair one, from the fact that
the machinery was not in working condi-

KELLEY'S DOOM.
Sheriff WhitwOrth Still Hunting Site
for the Execution.
The Jail Besieged by Curious COlored
Folks.

There seems to be considerable difficulty
in finding a site for the erection of the gall
lows upon which Kelley is to he hung to-
morrow. Mention was made in our col
umns Yesterday to the effect that a plat of
vacant ground at the point where Browns
creek crosses the Murfreesboro pike had
been decided upon, but as strong objec-
tions to the execution taking place there
have been made by the people residing in
the vicinity, the sheriff was out yesterday
hunting up another location.
Judge Lea and John Overton consented
to the erection of the gallows upon piece
Of ground belonging to them, in the yicin-
ity of Fort Negley, but withdrew their con-
sent last evening, at the earnest solicitation
of the people residing near the property,
notifying the Sheriff that he would have TO
search farther.
In this extremity, Sheriff WhitwOrth con-
suited Judge Frazier, who suggested
the Courthouse yard, but to this
proposition Judge Ferris entered an
emphatic protest, saying that he
would order the gates locked tonight so
that the gallows could not be erected with
out breaking down the fence. He also
said that this is a State execution, while
the Court house grounds belong to the
county, and suggested the Pest-hOuse
grounds as an eligible locality. The body
is to be buried in these grounds, af,er the
execution, and in all probability, Judge
Ferris suggestion will be carried out.
Kelley was visited by nearly four humid
red persons yesterday up to four o'clock
p. NJ, the majority of whom were cOlOred
people. He was in excellent spirits and
conversed freely, urging the colored people
especially, to repent of their sins and pre-
pare to meet him in heaven. Heretofore
he has spent a great deal of time praying
and singing, but the past two days have
been given up to cOnversing with people
visiting him. He speaks of his approach
ing execution in a free and easy mnnner,
and few mornings since ordered one OF
the turnkeys at the Jail TO bring him "a
dozen fried and aquail on toast"
Among his visitors last Tuesday was an
old colOred woman of immense size, who,
in making application at the jail for admis-
sion, stated that Kelley had boarded at her
house, off and on, from 1865 TO 1865, and
that he had been constantly sending her re-
quests to come and pray and sing with him
once more. She was admitted together
with a colored woman who accompanied
her, andfive minutes later was standing in
front of Kelley's cell, lining out a
hymn, in singing, which Kelley and all the
cOlOred prisoners on the lower floor joined
in a very fervent manne-. Kelley cannot
read, but one of his cell mates who does,
has been keeping him posted with regard to
the contents of the Nashville papers, but
of late he has not seen the city papers, and
consequently knows nothing of what has
been published concerning him for several
days past.

Those New Orleans DistiIIeries.

We learn from a gentleman who came
up from New Orleans yesterday, that the
case of the two distilleries recently seized
in that city by the revenue officers, will
probably be disposed of in the United
States Court this month, when an effort
will be made to confiscate the distiileries,
which are worth some $4,000.
The establishments were both bonded,
but the prOprietorS are accused of having
increased the capacity Of the distillerieS by
thickening the mash at night and, by the
use of patent yeast, forcing the fermenta-
ton, thus fermenting as much mash in
twenty-four hours as they were supposed
by the revenue officers to farment in forty
eight hours, and increasing the quantity of
whisky about forty per cent.
