When Captureds

The question discussed by Mr.. Welles.
Secretary of the Navy under President Lin.
celn, as to the capture of this city in 1862.
is dispute upon words instead of facts.
MI Weiles is correct in his statement of
facts as to the appearance Of Farragut's
fleet before the city several days before
Butler came up with his army OF occupa.
tlo3, and that the city, during the interval
between the anchorage of the feet in front
and the landing of Butler, was detenseless
and subject to occupation and capture.
But how could it he called captive or cap
tured until taken into possession and orcu.
pied and garrisoned by the captors. This
was not done until Butler landed his army.
II is true detatchmeDts from the feet made
landings, hauled down fags, and did
other acts which could ROT he regarded
as acts of seizure and occIp ito since they
retired TO the feet after doing hose acts
Even the communicat ations between the COM
mander of the fleet and the city authorities
were conducted under flag of truce. 1t
Was at the very time one OF these truces
was being held at the City Hall that the
flag which had been placed By CAPTAIN
Morris over the Mint was torn down and
paraded by bowling mob in front of the
City Hall. The Confederate commander,
too, remained in the city and held con-
ferences with officers of the feet, after the
t1eet had anchored in front of the city.
There was distinct refusal by him and the
Mayor to surrender the city. Could place,
therefore, be considered as captured before
it was surrendered or occupied! Certain
", in that strictly legal and literal sense
which Justice Swayne could alone employ
in judicial opinion, the word Captured
could not be used, as Mr.. Welles may be
justified in using it in military and histo-
rical narrative. The Justice, in his en-
ployment of the word kept in view the
question of jurisdiction, which is the most
important bearing the facts can have. Can
it be seriously pretended that such cap
ture' as that of Farraeut gave the United
States jurisdiction over the city before its
formal occupation by the United States
armies' Indeed it mas already been decided
by the United States Supreme Court, that
such jurisdiction did not commence until
Batler's occupation. Mr.. Welles is doubt
less an honest historian, but evidently no.

the doctor: "We gave him a dose of castor
oil" was the reply. "Good practice go far;
as soon as you reach home give him the
whites of three raw eggs daily, let his diet
be bread and milk and nothing sour" The
directions were followed faithfully, the
whites of the eggs repeated every day
and the dose of oil at night, and on the
fourth day the cent was discharged. 1t

The Horse Disease.

Within the past few days mysterious
complaint has attacked the horses in this
city and Brooklyn. Following upon the
sudden change of the weather it has been
chiefly remarkable for the great rapidity
with which it has spread. Similar in this
respect to the celebrated epizootic which
swept over the country three years ago. it
was feared tia. this disease was upon the
eve of renewing its destructive ravages.
Experienced veterinary surgeons, however,
say that the symptoms of the disease now
prevailing are similar in but few respects
AS the disease first attacked the horses of
the various car companies OF the city, a
the different superintendent of the
prominent railroad stables to learn
its nature and progress. Mr.. Wallace, su.
perintendent of the Ninth Avenue road.
gentleman who has had thirty.two years
experience in the superintendence of horses,
stated that the complaint first manifested
itself on Tuesday or Wednesday last. Its
appearance was sudden and lis progress
one Of great rapidity. The horses first
began to sneeze and cough occasionally,
but not enough to cause any uneasiness
He, however. Immediately gave orders to
have the affected animals placed in the
hospital. On Saturday night every horse
IN the stable was more or less affected
with cough, which, in some cases, was

tices were immediately applied to their
heads and chests, and every possible pre-
caution taken TO relieve them. This treat
ment proved so effective that toe horses
were enabled to resume their work without
any injury. Mr.. Wallace thought that the
prevalence of the complaint was attribute
BILE to the sudden change of the weather.
The animals ate their food the same
as ever, and he had no doubt would
be perfectly recovered as soon as the
weather grew milder He thought that the
complaint was merely a combination of
cold and slight Inflammation of the bron-
chial tubes The proprietors of many of
the private stables who we're called upon
also said that the horses have been more or
less affected with cold and sore throat.
Medical care has been summoned in each
case, and marked improvement had fol-
lowed. Mr.. Clark, the superintendent of
the Brooklyn City Railroad Company,
5 stated that of all the horses on the eleven
lines under the superintendent of the
company. about 1000 had been attacked,
but he did not regard the complaint as
serious, from the fact that the animals took
their food as usual, and evinced no inability
to accomplish their work. The complaint,
whatever II was, yielded readily to proper
treatment.
Besides those mentioned above, number

| RED CLOUD AGENCY, September o.
Some Sioux are breaking camp preparing
for sun dance. In the opinion of many
the danger OF an outbreak in corucil to-day
| was great.
After the commissioners reached Big
Cottonw ood Tree. on the river bottom, the
Indians began coming in in battle atrav,
, all armed with breech.loading guns. The
| scene was impressive.
The Indians formed dense mass, their
| gums IN their right hands, ready for action.
NO less than 1000 were in the circle. The
Cney eyennes and some young men of resident
oands have formed a scheme to break up
the council, and are making trouble. Two
hundred OF them were massed out side the
circle: The gathering of the bands con.
sumed an hour. 1 he crier loudly announced
the opening of the council. After shs king
hands with the commissioners, the principal
chiefs had half an hours pow-wow. Mean.
time some young men crossed the ford, and
slipped into the bushes in the rear of the
council. Some remained mounted; Others
lay on the ground. The troops were ordered
to stand to horse. All the white men were
completely surrounded.
The officers consulted with the commits.
sioners. Meanwhile 100 friendly Ogalallas
were quietly marshaled in the rear of the
the troops. An outbreak was momenrarily
expected. Red Dog made a harangue, ac.
cuslng the commissioners of being in a
hurry to make a treaty, and asked for time.

White Ball favored making a treaty imme.

after two suns. The council dispersed with
the understanding 1t would meet again on
Saturday.
As evidence of the danger of an out
break, the Indians have warned the halt.
breeds to look out for their safety, and all
left the council to day. The feeling is not
go much against the whites as between the
bands on account of jealousy. The com.
missioners are some what appi ehensive.
Senator Allison says there will probably be
no treaty.

Quarrel between Catholic and Protestant
Schools,

special says, tor some time back the Jeffer.

man Catholic schools have been quarreling,
resulting to-day in number of Roman
Catholic scholars att tacking Hubert Hart
man, aged ten years, who was kicked,
stoned and beaten in horrible manner. A
large hole was knocked in his head, between

death. Much feeling, it is said, exists there
tonight against the Roman Catholics, who
are charged with upholding their children
in the quarrel, which is attributed to the
bitter discussion OF the school question.
