OUR MOUNDSvILLE LETTER.

MOUNDsvILLE, September 10.
EdltOn Intellgenccr:
Our school opened last week with some
thing over three hundred pupils in at
tendance. The number has increased to
about four hundred at the present time
and still they come. Our board will be
under the necessity Of hiring an extra
teacher at the end Of the present month.
It would have been better to have done so
at the first, but no one had any idea that
our school would be so full as II is. We
argue from this the opposition to our
school is giving way, and now there is
nothingtO hinder its prosperity.
The work on the foundation OF our
new Court House Is being pushed rapidly
forward. It is TO be a very large build
ing, II the excavation made for the iOunda-
ton Is criterion from which to Judge.
twill almost rival the capitol building
ut Wheeling, Wheeling no doubt now
feels happy since recovering from the
effects Of the Magic Relief injunction, and
the work on the new building will now be
be, no doubt, vigorously prosecuted with
no fears for the future, 1t will be ready
at least, for the new State officers who
will be elected at the next fall election.
/ heard some one suggest that II the great
"Tidal Wave that swept our country u
year ago should return in the opposite
direction a Republican Governor, and his
cabinet might occupy the building for the
first term. Stranger things than this have
happened and the world still moved.
Our new school hall has lately been re-
fitted in fine style. The walls have been
covered with the very finest Of paper, aud
the ceiling made winter than snow, AL,

In the very beat Of style. Prof.
CIary and lady gave concert there
last night, assisted by q number Of the
ladies and gentlemen Of MOund4ville.
Prof. Clary sustained his former reputa-
tiOn In his violin aud Cornet solos, while
Mrs. ClAry won the admiration Of all by
her beautiful playing and sweet singing.
The Misses Ferguson, with Misses Emma
Moore, Meta Bruce and Julia Burley, all
did we'll, as they always do on such Oc-
casions. Mr.. Samuel Gansis n good per.
former on the piano, and he did we'll his
part. As he was the only gentleman who
took part, as matter Of course he was
somewhat embarrassed among so many
ladies', but he did we'll, nevertheless.
The audience was small but II made up
in quality what II lacked in quantity, as
all our audiences in MOundsville do
when there Is an admittancO fee in the

The Rcd cloud Indian Council.

RED CLOUD AGENCY VIA Fl. LARAMIE,
September lJ.-The great Indian Council,
with which the Commissioners are to
licker for the Black Hills country, has
assembled, and the Indians arc growing
weary in waiting on the red.tapo move.
ments Of the government deputies, who
now seem to bo awaiting only the arrival
OF General Terry. The Indians are be.
coming dissatisfied at the delay, those
living at great distances desiring to re.
turn home before winter sets In. The
Commission has been together three
weeks, and has accomplished nothing be-
yond Informal talk. Thus far nodefnite
amount has been spoken Of as the pur.
chase price Of the Black Hills, point on
which the Indians are very anxious.
They are perfectly willing 10 sell and take
whatever price Is offered them. They
say white men are going to occupy that
country any way. II Is thought the Com.
missioners will provide for their Sus.
tenance for a long term Of years, which
arrangement would be preferable TO all
parties, as the government has to support
them any wny. The number Of Indians
who will attend the Council is estimated
at about $4,000. Their camps extend for
distance Of about forty miles along the
White river, and the bluffs in this vicinity
are covered with their ponies. Each head
Of family owns on m average fifty
ponies. These arc all in excellent con.
dition, and the Indians themselves are
we'll clothed and healthy looking.
