show is not the greatest attraction just
now. For the soldiers have come,

Gen. Shcrman'S Views.

The Congressional Committee on
military affairs called Gen. Sherman
before them last week to give his
views of our Indian difficulties. He
expressed himself in favor OF the Sen
ate bill, which provides for the in
crease of the army by the enlistment
of $4,000 privates to fill up each COM
pany Of cavalry to the number OF 100
men. Even with the force now at
their command he thinks that either
General Terry or General Crook sing
ly will be more than match for the
Indians if they stick together; jointly,
he has no doubt Of it. Gene. al Crook
has IS companies of cavalry, ayeras-
ing 60 men each, and about / 900 in
fantry. General Terry has about l.
600 infantry and about 500 or GOO
cavalry. A week ago he started up
the Rosebud to Join General Crook,
and their information at that time was
that the Indians were already break
ing up into small parties, some with a
view of border depredations and 9th
ers to 60 to the agencies. The whole
number Of men in the army, accord
ing to the last return, is "a, go, but
not more than two thirds of these can
be got into the field at one time, and
large portion are required on the
Texas borders watching the Mexicans,
while u considerable force is required
on the line of the Pacific railroad.

down the street with all the brilliant
paraphernalia of war. Your quiet
correspondent even finds his enthusi-
assn so inflated by the coming of the
soldiers thai he must give vent to his
feelings in an extra letter.
It is the annual encampment OF the
now we'll organized National Guard
Of Pennsylvania, which covers with
snow white tents this week, so many
acres of the Centennial grounds
There are six divisions, comprising in
all some 10000 officers and men. The
Governor Of Pennsylvania is COM
mander-in- chief, with his head-quar-
ters on the grounds. There are six
Major Generals with the usual quota
of Brigadiers, and these with their
stats, make an imposing display. A
large number of the general, regimen
tai and company officers were in SER
vice during the war, and earned hon
orable distinction. A larger camp
than this has not been formed since
the late rebellion. 1t is indeed a fine
sight to stand on some elevation and
view this field Of canvas. Here and
there can be seen large flags floating
in the breeze from the nagstatis Of the
various headquarters: Every day a
large number Of people assemble
around the different divisions, and
the prlnci pei avenues leading to the
encampment are thronsed with car
riages. The divisions all have bands
which enlivcn the scene with excel
lent music. The entire encampment
is under strict military discipline, and
no one is allowed to cross the guard
line unless permitted to do SO by the
commanding officer of the guard
None Of the men are allowed to leave
the camp without first obtaining per.
mission from the commanding officer
Of the regiment. On certain days
the men are furnished with passes and
permitted to 90 where they please. A
great number Of them have already
visited the exhibition and expressed
both surprise and pleasure at the dis
play in the various buildings, and es.
pecially in the Government depart
ment.
The government department by the
way is one Of the greatest interest,
but | have occupied 50 much space in
noticing the encampment as to leave
no room for any description which
would do it Justice, ana must there
fore defer it to another letter. But
this is the case also with a hundred
other features Of the great exhibition
To write it all up would be a vain
effort, and it it were even within the
range Of reporjoriaI ability the CLAIR
ION would have to be infinitely en-
larsed tc put it in print.

Out At Last.

The letters Of acceptance Of Messrs.
Tilden and Hendricks, the democrat
io candidates for tho Presidency and
Vice Presidency, were given to the
world On Saturday Of last week. --
They are both Of considerable length,
indeed rather too long for popular
reading, but of course ably written.-
1t being generally understood before
their nomination that they held op-
posite views on the currency question
tho greatest interest was felt to know
how nearly they could harmonic as
candidates. Their recent conference
at Saratoga seems to have had the de-
sired effect, for in their letters both
repudiate the resumption act--both
declare it hindrance to specie pay
ments-both call for severe economy
and retrenohment as the first step
toward the equalization Of currency
and gold values, and both deprecate
any precipltate measure to force re.
sumption before the country reaches
some greater Improvement in its pros
perity. Mr.. Tilden also declares fol
a single term, as does his opponent
Gov. Hays, and the two opposing can
didates vie with each other also ii
the expression of kind utteranceS
toward the South. 1t is said that as
an ingenious mode of smoothing down
differences between the East and
West on soft and hard money, it has
been arranged that Mr.. Tilden is te
take the stump in the West while
Gov. Hendricks is to entertain the
East in the same way. Now for coo
weather and hot campaign.

A we'll. known conductor on the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific road
went to the depot one morning recent
ly to ia lie his train as usual and an
officer of the road and an officer of

front was a s., 600 diamond pin, and
in his pocket were a valuable gold
watch and chain. In his trunk the
officers found $4,000 in Government
bonds An Eastern bank was tele-
graphed to, and the response was that
the bail could be furnished in 500, 900

deposited to the conductor S credit
there. This settled, it was next the

and he politely informed the officers
that the diamond pin obey had ille-
gally taken, had been worn by the
conductor twenty years; the watch
was carried by him years before he

that the United States Government
bonds they had taken We're the prop
erty Of his wife, as the proceeds of her

that fight occurred between a party
Of herders and a band of Indians, near
Fort Fetterman, on the 4th instant.
One Indian was killed. The whites
succeeded in capturing considerable
number Of ponies.
Advices by way of Bismarck have

companied by two hundred and TWEEN,

camp, have arrived at Standing Rock.
This Indian murdered a trader Of
Stanley's expedition in 1878, and was
arrested therefor by Captain Tom
Custer but escaped, and is said to
have cut the heart from Captain Gus
ter's body, and to have fired the last
shot at General Custer. An lntelll-
gent and reli; bic gentleman says that
though special effort was made on the
part of the agent and Indians, at the
issue of beef on Saturday, to make a
showing, still there were not five hun
dred bucks present. while there should
have been over two thousand, with

The Slave Trade i'm Central Africa,
From the London Spectator.

From the London Spectator. . M
The mission despatched by the Free
Church of Scotland to Lake Nyassa has
arrived safely, and has fitted out it's
steamer on the lake, which is found to
he much larger than DIR. Livingstone
thought. 1t has coast Of eight hum
dred miles, and is usually over one
hundred fathoms deep. The agent,
Lieutenant e. d. Young found the
Arabs extremely alarmed at the advent
of a steamer, which they think could,
stop the slave-trade by sinking their
dhows; and he is SO indignant at the
scenes he has witnessed that he avows
his intention of speedily putting stop
to the traffic. He believes dozen
Englishmen could do it, and relates a
most striking story of the estimation in
which the English character is held. A
gang of five hundred slaves passed with
In fifty miles of the mission, and one
poor creature could travel no farther.
Instead, however, Of killing him, as is
the regular practice, the slavers released
him, telling him the English would be
sure to take care of him. He reached
the mission, after great hardships, with
diseased spine. The motion of the
slavers on the lake appears to be the
want of any legitimate means of getting
money, but there is an incidental and
unpleasant reference to Portuguese
purchasers from Quillimane.
