b. esINew York Tribune.l w9H4 .afrs

April b. 1870 !
| Dear -. We arrived here u few
days ago, and you can bet we were
mighty glad OF it, too. Since we left
here we have travelled nearly 900 miles,
and had cold weather all the time. The
first we knew Of any Indians being
whore they made n rush on our beef herd
and shot one herder, and run off the
whole herd. The next time they woke
US up was on Powder River, at old Fort
Reno; here they were on both sides or
us. About O'Clock I'M the evening they
commenced shooting, aud IL all the bull
lets that they shot had come into camp
they would have done d good deal OF
mischief, but they shot too high but
they succeeded in hitting one man in
the jaw. They might have shot all night
as far as the packers were concerned, as
we made regular bomb proof shelter
out Of the cargo, and stowed ourselves
away Some OF us shivered good deal
but II was on account of the devilish
cold weather.
Not long after we laid over one day,
and packed up at night and travelled TIL
morning. and made forty-fve miles :;
then went to the Tongue River and down
it until the scouts found mule. Then
we went into camp, for that was glory
enough for one day.
Next day we struck for Powder River !;
travelled all day, when the pack trains
camped, and six companies and thirty
scouts went on. They rode all night,
and next morning struck village OF
eighty lodges; dashed In and captured
700 ponies and mules, shot an old squaw
In the thigh; burned lodges and con-
tents; went into camp. Glory enough
for another day.
Indians, came into camp after night,
and drove every id hoof off, except
about forty head OF scabs. Loss; three
men killed. one wounded, and one man
scalped in plain sight Of the command.
Then commenced the grand retreat to
Reno, which was reached In four or five
days march. The trail is pretty we'll
lined with played out mules and horses.
The last days march into Reno we lost
twenty-five head. When one played out,
1t was lost. And SO ended the first expe-
dition against the Sioux; but Crook Ia
fitting up new outfit, and is going to
win next time.
Yours, truly, L**** KICK st'*.

Peanut oil, first made in the South
during the war, is now in large demand
It supplies the place Of almond and
olive OILS for various uses, and is lower
in price, retains its purity and flavor
for long time, and is less susceptible
to the effect OF light than olive oil. The
oil is extracted entirely from the meat
of the nut by pressure, the refuse being
used as cattle feed or fertilizer.

PARIS, May 23.-The debate on am
nestJ opened in the Senate to-day. M.
Victor Hugo introduced q motion for
complete amnesty, and addressed the
Senate. He urged that under Repub-
lie the right Of pardon was prerogative
of the Assembly. 8Ysf
This right should not be abrogated
and could only be exercised In the form
Of an amnesty. He drew an elaborate
comparison between the Commune and
the coup d'etat. nsf
Napoleon's crime. he declared, was
greater than that Of the Commune. Yet
the magistracy swore allegiance to the
crime Of the I'd OF December, while it
decreed transportation, the galley and
shooting against the Commune.
The hour, he said, had come to stig-
matiZe the coup d'etdt by voting an am
nesty full and complete. M. Hugo was
listened to with deep attention, and, at
the conclusion OF his speech, was con-
graduated even by the opponents OF
amnesty.
The Bonapartists remained silent. NJ.
Tothine said the Government finds
there is nothing to reply to In M. Hugo's
speech. xlgfsBE
The motion was then rejected almost
unanimously, about eighteen Radical
Senators voting for 1t. 81 ifs

CITY ITEMS.


About quarter past IL o'clock, last
night, Officer Johnson discovered some
unknown parties setting fire to the one
story frame house, situated at the corner
of Marengo and Laurel streets.
On the approach Of the officer the
would-be incendiaries fled. Immediate
chase was given. but the officer failed %
bagging his game. =.
wood saturated with coal oil was found
under the building which had been ig-
nited. The fire, which had gained but
little headway, was extinguished by the
officer.
Another Attempt to Burn Building.
About II o'clock last night FIRE was
discovered in the weather-b board OF the
One-story frame, No. 306 Perdido street,
between johnson and Galvez, owned
and occupied by Mrs. M. Ram.
The flames were extinguished by the
police and some citizens, with damage
Of about $50. The fire is supposed to be
the work OF an incendiary, as the
weather boarding was found saturated
with coal oil.
Another Damage suit Resulting from
the Newspaper War.
Mr.. J. M. Walpole, city editor OF the
New Orleans Picay,tae, has filed suit
II
claims $60, 900 damages, against the pro-
prietors Of the New Orleans Times, for
defamation Of character in calling him
a disreputable newspaper hummer.
