OBITUARY.

CAPTAIN LEWIS THOMPSON, UNITED STATES
ARMY.
despatch, dated July 81 from Tongue River,
the scene OF the present military operations against
the hostile Sioux. announces the death by suicide Of
Captain Lewis Thompson The brevity OF the despatch
is very unsatisfactory, OF the details attend
ant circumstances OF the event mentioned In the
absence OF positive information it is only just to the
memory OF the officer to conclude that the act
done in moment OF responsibility If lie was irk-
some great facility afforded him under existing cir
cumstanccs to rid himself OF it in the line Of duty.
Captain Thompson received his commission 1866
was native OF Pennsylvania. and received his ap-
pointment from Maine.

ABOUT THE BLACK HILLS.
From the best information obtainable

From the best information obtainablc,
the Black Hills have already q numerous
population, estimated !. between thtcc
and four thousand, who are quietly ut
work washing the precious gold from the
hundreds of auriferous gulches which fur
row its mountain slopes. The military
authorities seem to have tacitly acqui-
cscea in tliis new condition Of atfnirs, and
are making no effort to disturb them, so
that the problem Of opening the Black
Mills may be regarded as solved in so
far as permitting the whites to enter
upon the premises and work the mines,
though no title tp-tle land can be secured
until congress or the treaty making pow
crs etfect>a legal rclinquishment Of the
territory npmTthe Indian owners or les
secs.
The explorations of 1875 were sutii-
GENTLY thorough, to establish the fact
that valuable gold fields exist in that re-
gion. Though there, were no discoveries
Of such immense deposits as were occa-
sionally unearthed during the early days
of California, the existence of gold in
paying quantities, scattered over large
extent OF territory, may be considered
settled beyond dispute; and it>may also
be accepted as a fact that the country Is
-=ttt,rt1 ffor whoever wishes to go there; nnd
is already peopled with thousands Of men
busy at work. This being the case, tits
-r,rot -prol,.bNe the government will make
any further efforts to remove the miners,
but will now devise plan by which the
Indian title Gf they have any title} will
be cxtinguished, and the country added
to the legally inhabited domain of the
frnited States.
'Flic opening and settlement of the
Black Hills will have an important bear
ing upon the already settled portions q
Dakota. Howit willaffcct us POLITICAL,
70 man can predict, but that it will have
decisive voice in future territorial clec
tions, is very apparent. Ourcommercia
business should also be greatly augment
Ell from this sonccc, but until a perman
cnt route is opened from the Missouri tc
TIC itiiis, we annot-cxpect much bencti,
to this interest. Now is the time, how.
ever, to work.for opening route; and il
\ this effort every one in Southern =Dakot.
Should put forth his best energies.
