SOLDIERS BODIES FOUND NEAR HACK
WOOD The remains of fourteen soldiers,
who fell in the battle of the 18th of Septem-
Der, 1854, were turned up by the pillow, on
the lakewood farm, near Winchester, few
days ago, Thirteen of them were Federals
and one Confederate, as indicated by the
vessiges of their clothing aud Advertisements.
There was nothing, the Times says. by which
any of them could be identified. with the ex>
ceptiou of one of the Federsls. whose name
was supposed to Be j. A tsars Captain
Kenuey, superintendent of the National Gem
etery. took charge of the m. and enclosed them
in decent cofins-the blue aud gray alike
The Confederate he turned over to Captain
Huck. and he now lies among the unknown
aud unrecorded dead" in the Stoneaall Gems
etery, and the Federals we're inferred in the
National burying ground. -'---

Ool. Scully let the light Of his genial

magnificent at this season Of the year.
It contains great many actual settlers,

Saturday $50 head Of beef cattle were
issued to the Indians, and yesterday Z
large train with additional supplies
came in from Cheyenne.
Thus far no definite amount has been
spoken Of a. the purchase price for the
Black Hills country, and on this point
the Indians are very anxious. They
are perfectly willing to sell and will
take whatever is offered them, as they
say the white men are going to occupy
that country anyway. It is thought
the commissioners will not offer the In
dians much money, but will provide for
their sustenance for term of years,
which arrangement would be preferable
for all parties, as the government must
support them anyway.
a large delegation of Missouri River
Indians waited on the commissioners
last Saturday and expressed much dis
satisfaction because the commissioners
had moved down to Shadron Greek,
twenty-f FIVE miles from here and half
way to Spotted Tail Agency, as they
said Rev. Mr.. Hinman of the commits
sion had told them last summer the
council would be held there.
Spotted Tail presented them last
week with one hundred and twenty
horses, with the understanding that
they were to insist upon the council
being held at SAadron Greek. Upon oc-
casion of their visit Saturday Red
Clouds band also presented them large
r,,nnhor of hnrsnc
Judge Kiddcr, delegate to Congress
from Dakota, and Mr.. Steele, delegate
from Wyoming, are here and expect to
remain till the close of the council. j..
D. Terrill, of the Treasury department.,
is also here, accompanied by his wife.
The number of Indians who will at
tend the council is estimated to be
about $4,000. Their camps extend a
distance Of about forty miles along the
White Earth river and the bluffs of this
vicinity are covered with their ponies,
each head of a family owning an aver
age Of fifty ponies. These are all in
excellent condition., and the Indians
themselves we'll clothed and healthy
looking.

Burleieh County Farms.

Under this head from time to time
we shall write up the farms and farm
ing interest of Burleigh County. Last
week through the courtesy of Charles
w. Thompson the writer rode out to,
and looked over the homestead of Col.
VIM. Thompson, of the 7th cavalry. It
is situated two miles north Of Bismarck,
and about two miles from the Missouri
river. The Col. has hewn log house
with lime mortar on the outside, and
lathed and plastered within, and arran-
ged very conveniently, comfortably and
tastily. He has good well Of pure
and almost ice cold water, 45 feet in
depth, and the necessary out buildings
for horses, cattle, swine and fowls, Of
which he has an abundant supply. He
has sixty acres under cultivation. OF
this five acres was sown to oats, twenty
Eve planted to corn, and the remainder
devoted to vegetables Of all kinds,
Hungarian grass, millet! &c. The oats
though beaten down by hail rallied and
were considerably more than half
crop. They stood about two and one
half feet high and were well headed.
They were cut early and used in the
bundle for feed. Along with the oats
was sown timothy. 1t came up and is
doing nicely, as is also clover sown on
aportion of the ground. The corn will
yield about forty bushels to the acre,
and was mostly in shocks. The Rec
corn yields abundantly and was fully
ripe. The dent was too hard for
roasting ears and few days more with
out frosts will allow it to fully mature.
Thompson will have from his 25 acres
at least one thousand bushels of corn.
The Hungarian grass and millet was
sown very late but is just right for feed;
it will yield not less than ton and
half to the acre. The potatoes and 9TH
er vegetables, including cabbage, are as
good as one could wish. The Col
onel's faith in the country has been in-
dicated by his works, and it is justified
BY the results. He has done much
aside from mere cultivation to improve
and beautify his home. He has planted
six thousand forest and many ornamen-
tai trees and from his own bushes and
vines, this year ate curraDts, goose
berries and strawberries. All this. and
without irrigation, on land which two
years ago last spring was wild prairie,
and on soil which has been denounced
as worthless and barren, but which
every experiment this year and two
and three years ago proved to be ex-
tremely productive, though last year,
through grasshoppers and drouth, near
~ all experiments failed.
Charles w. Thompson, the Colonel's
oldest son, has charge Of the farm, and
has proven himself a thorough farmer,
as well as an excellant gentleman.

Letter From "Quails."
Correspondence Bismarck Tribune.

FARGO, D. T., Sept. IL, 1875. Busi.
ness Of national Importance calling me
to Fargo, I left Bismarck on the morn
ing of the 9th inst, and with Sweetman
at the helm we steamed out for Fargo
and the great Red River of the North
where wearrived with ease and rapidity,
after run Of about ten hours.
. At fourteenth Siding a lady (Mrs.
McDonald) with two children got
aboard. .rhe woman was in q state Of
great excitement and alarm in conse-
quence of marauding Indians who were
observed prowling about the Section
House that morning. She found her
husband a few miles down the road at
work on the track, and was compare
lively happy again. Those Indians
ought to know better than to prowl
about the country, off from their reser-
vation, and frighten poor people. They
may be humanitarians in disguise, but
their record is bad, and the people don't
like to trust them.
/ found Fargo quite lively town and
very much improved, after an absence
of three years. The Headquarters Ilo-
tel is most magnificent structure, the
best building, in fact, in the Territory.
1t is large and commodious in every
particular, and N. K. Hubbard evident
ly is at home in the engineering of so
large machine. The Court house is
a model of taste and beauty. The ad-
ministration of justice is here carried
out with dignity and solemnity. 1t is
now quite evident to my mind why
Fargo was honored with a United
States Court rather than Bismarck.
But the time is not far distant when
Bismarck will be able to boast of her
imposing .edifces, and emerge from
that chrysalis state which multiplicity
of causes, that could not be lodged,
have engendered and prolonged. The
the term of United States Court was of
short duration. Judge. Barnes, with
Col. Pound as U. s. Attorney, have q
system of doing vast amount of busi-
ness within q comparatively limited pc
riod of time. Three unfortunates were
consigned to the house Of correction
at Detroit, for ten, twelve and eighteen
months respectively. The latter pun
ishment being for selling whiskey to
Indians and tho former penalties for
larceny. Idon't remember the names
Of the cu1prits. Judge Barnes made q
very able and appropriate address to
the offenders, showing them the neces-
sity of upholding the dignity of the
law, and the punishment Of those who,
transgress it. He showed them ct some
length why civil law should be enforced
as punishment for crime, without fear
or favor, and not only because II is the
just deserts of the transgressor, but
that society may better be preserved,
and an outraged community restrained
from committing acts Of violence and
bloodshed. So kind and oonsiderats
