Terrible news was that which crept
in from the far West last week, tel
ling now Gen. G.. Il. Custer with nf-
teen other officers and three hundred
men, on June 18th, wero surrounded
and slaughtered by Sitting Bull with
his three thousand Sioux warriors
Clusters command of thousand men
was one Of -four columns pushed
out by Gen. Terry with the intention
Of hcmming in and destroying the
hostile Indians. Having nothing but
cavalry, Custer arrived at the objec-
tive point, the Indians encampment,
ahead Of the others and also ahea,'y VI {
the time1ppoir',ne nar-'~ .~1 VI
t. 70. lated tor junction.
Giving the larger half of his regi-
ment into the command Of Maj. Reno,
who was directed to attack at diff
ferent point, both officers pushed for
the large village they had just dis
covered on the Little Horn river,
some 200 miles north Of the Black
Hills. Both detachments were soon
engaged, and while Reno managed
to withdraw his troops to a hill and
to hold his own until evening of the
goth, when the arrival of Gen. Glib.
bon's column put the Indians to
flight, not man who went with Gus
ter was ever again seen alive. The
scene of his disaster, when occupied
by the rescuing troops, can perhaps
be imagined; it cannot be describ-
ed. The mutilated dead lay in sue
cessive winrows along the slopes and
ridges Of the ravine where they were
surrounded, showing that brave re-
sistance was made to the very last
1t was probably the greatest mas
sacre of armed soldiers in the history
Of Indian warfare, and while we
mourn the loss of able officers we
will not forget the soldiers who were
sacrificed by reckless bravery. The
Government will surely be not long
in deciding what to do next. Ifplen-
ty of soldiers are not at once availa-
BILE to annihilate Sitting Bull, who for
thirteen years has been constantly on
the war path, let it accept the services
of the thousands of frontiersmen,
which have already been offered, and
do the job speedily and effectually.

IBsrRAcr or REPORT FOR THE WEEK ENDING AT p
Daily Kennebec journal., 1876-06-13
Mr.. BL4INE"S ILLNESS.

While all ewes are turned 10 the direct
ion of Cincinnati, there comes the sad in
tellioence of the sudden illness OF Mt.
Blaine. This news, as it flashed over the
wires, caused intense anxiety throughout
the country. and profound grief here at
home, where he has so many warm perso-
nal friends and admirerers in all parties.
Inquiries were made throughout the day
as to his condition. and a great sense OF
relief felt and expressed when it was pos
itively known that he was out oil danger
and on the mending hand.
The wonder is that nature has not yield
ed before Subjected to a constant and
continuous strain upon mind and body,
lasting for weeks. without any intermis-
sion or cessation, he has passed through
scenes sufficiently trying to PROSTATE any
ordinary man; and had he not possessed
a robust body, and a strong, healthy mind,
he would have ere this been prostrated.
Mr.. Blaine is physical as well as an in
tellectual giant, and these great powers
come to the rescue in an attack of this
kind. His strong reserve powers. physi-
cally and intellectually, his temperate
habits and pure life. form the ground
work of our hope for his speedy and per-
manent recovery But what shall be said
of the conspirators who have forced Mr..
Blaine into the position of defending HIM
self against their vaccinations He has
grappled them by the throat every time,
strangled their mass Of lies, and proved
his entire innocency OF the charges
brought against him. But to do this has
taken vast amount of labor and has cost
the expenditure of great vital forces,
which few men have the capacity to ex-
pend. His traducers must finally answer
for this before the bar of God, where the
motives of men are taken into account, as
well as before the bar of public opinion.
Dispatches received last evening. bring
the cheering intelligence that Mr.. Blaine
is rapidly recovering. and will be on his
feet in few days.
One despatch received here last evening,
says: "Mr. Blaine is improving hourly.
Is taking nourishment freely. The Doc
tor saws his strictly temperate life, with a
strong constitution will render his recov-
cry very sure"
Daily Kennebec journal., 1876-06-13

country vote directly upon the question
to-day, they would elect Mr.. Blaine Presi-
dent by an overwhelming majority, and
the prospect is bright that the representa-
tives of the party at Cincinnati will reflect
this sentiment. The nomination OF MT.
Blaine will secure victory at the polls IN
November. We have to wait but a little,
confident that these delegates will act Tor
the welfare of the country, and the good
of the republican party.
