Fort Sill, now suddnly invested
with a certain malodoruus fame in
connection with tine tragic story of
Secretary Belknay's disgrace, was
named in honor of J w. Sill, who
commanded a brigade in Sheridan,s
division of McCook's corps at the bat
tie of Stone river, and-as did every
other brigade officer of the division
fell dead at the head of his troops,
Decembr 81, 1868, while successfully
repulsing a desperate attack of the
enemy upon Rosecrans' centre, whose
right had already been thoroughly
routed. General Sill was one Of the
most brilliant and promising young
officers in the Army of the Cumber-
land. General William H. Lyle
was afterward assigned to the com.
mand of the brigade. He fell at the
head of his column while leading a
critical charge in the next battle OF
Observation-Disclosures.

Who are Going There.
Cheyenne the Place TO OUTFIT at.
Distance Tabie-Passenser Fares and
Freight Hates-kte

In answer to the hundreds Of
communications we are in daily re-
ceipt OF, we have compiled the bud
get of information herewith given,
for the benefit of all who are afflicted
with the Black Hills fever. While
it is not IS complete as We desire
and promise to make it, we think il
will answer most of the questions
asked.
The first query propounded is
whether We really believe there is
gold in the Black Hills. This has
been too well proven to admit Of
doubt. Gold is found in paying
quantities in nearly all portions Of
the region, the richest discoveries
having been of quite recent occur
renee, on Deadwood and Whitewood
creeks, some sixty miles from Custer
City, which is now a large and four
ishing town, with regularly elected
officers, a full complement of bust
ness houses, etc.
West and north of the Black
Hills lie extensive mountain ranges
of similar formation, which have
been but little explored, but which
are full of gold and silver, which lat
ter metal has been discovered in
large and rich veins, within thirty
miles of Custer City. Good gold
quartz mines have also been found
in the Hills.
DISTANCES.
Following we give the distances
from Cheyenne to the Black Hills,
the points mentioned being, as will
be seen, at convenient distances
apart for camping, and having ac-
commodations for travellers.

count OF riches But under present
conditions large expenditure is u
bride for obsequious and undcscrvcd
homage, quite as certainly as money
given by candidates at elections is II
bride for political power, While it
tends to make the poor false and
sycophantish, it as surely has the cf-
feet of giving the rich a very eXag-
gerated idea Of their own worth and
Importance, In most cases it is
barrier to free intercourse between
a man and his friends, or those who
may have been his friends, but who
have ceased to be, on account of pros
pcrity, seliiishly used, having en-
abled and encouraged him toindulgc
in tastes and habits beyond their
means, 1t is hut seldom that riches
are employed for cultivating the So
ciety of the worthiest and best. 1t
would be nearer the truth to say that
they are mostly used to cultivate the
society of the rich, who can give a
return for expensive entertainment
"a practice especially inconsistent
with the principles profcssed by the
religious world who are not less than
others the slaves of the prevailing
fashion. Again, from the custom Of
lavish expenditure set by the opu-
liant, extrayagapt expectations are
formed as to what deccncy demands
from professional persons, or others
| of moderate means, which often make
ekife avery. hard struggle, when, hut
tibf fthe; ;exanlRlcisgthy pltftecrats, oxy
listence might be. comfortable and.
Eeasy. There is alarge class, the vain
and'weak minded, over whom tho
customs of the rich has such over
swhelming force that, in order to com
ply with it, they commence life on a
scale quite beyond their means, the
consequence being perpetual strug-
gle with fate, or, in many cases, ut
ter degradation and ruin.
