THE INDIANS IN MONTANA.
A Bloody Deed Predicted-A Mem
taDa Paper on the Situation.

A
taDa Paper ON the Situation.
Helena (M. IT, Independent. July 19th.l
Whatever points of improbability
there may be in the dispatches re-
ceived night before last from Bose
man touching an Indian raid into
the Gallatin valley, they at least
make evident the fact that such a
thing is possible. Nobody believes
that the Indians would dare attack
town or even a comparatively full
settled country. Their object would,
at most, be to obtain stock, and
possibly they might attack farm
house or persons alone on the
prairie. Their depredations, under
the most favorable circumstances
for a raid, would hardly take a
wider sweep than this. Neyerthe-
less, it should be apparent to every
person that the frontier settlements,
and especially those in the Gallatin
valley, should be armed and fully
equipped to meet any possible
emergency that may arise.
The condition of our frontier is
rendered insecure from a variety of
causes, each one of which is sufii-
cient to excite the savages to acts
Of extraordinary boldness. The
first and most prominent of these
is, of course, the defenseless condi-
ton of the border by the with
drawal of the garrisons from all the
most prominent posts. Under any
circumstances this measure is inde-
fensible, AS long as there are idle
troops used for political purpose in
the South there can be no necessity
for stripping the frontier of all
means of defense,
The success which the Indians
have met with in the defeat Of
Custer is another reason why they
might be emboldoned to undertake
some deed of frantic daring, such
as a raid into some Of the frontier
valleys,
1t is shown by the latest newl
received from the Indian country
that the Sioux are in a condition
from their present location, to pen
citrate the Frontier valleys through
one or more Of the numerous passeI
that are comparatively unguarded
They may not come, but the posi-
bility is naturally calculated to in
Spire alarm, and no doubt gave riS,
to the dispatches which were sen
us from Bozeman on Monday night
1t is hardly probable that Mr.. Ben
, nett wished to excite an unneoes
sary alarm. But to put the wors
possible construction upon his mo

Indian TOrtuFea.

Among the favorite methods of
Indian torture may be mentioned
the tying of the unfortunate
prisoner to stakes in the ground,
then having a small pyrOtechnical
celebration by filling his ears full
Of gunpowder and firing it off.
They only do this when gunpowder
is plenty. Another favorite amuse-
ment is to build a small fire Of
resinous pine kindling on the vic
TINS stomach, and let it burn
slowly. They usually make the
fire small to prolong the effect; or,
as they sometimes even drive small
pine splinters into the flesh Of the
prisoner and ignite them. Some of
the tribes south have very ingen-
ious way of torturing. They take the
victim and gag him, with his mouth
open, and then tie him down by the
side of a large ant hill, and you can
imagine the result. In scalping
they do not always confine them
selves to the scape. Should the
capturing party be numerous and
there be not scalp enough to 60
around, they sometimes continue
their operations to the beard, mus
tache and eyebrows. The above
are the tortures as practiced chiefly
on the male prisoners. What the
female prisoners are subjected to
the columns Of a newspaper will
not allow me to describe, but judg-
ing from the other tortures, you
can readily imagine that no feeling
of mercy or compassion-for the I'm
dian is totally devoid of these quail
ities-will or can prevent him from
practicing the most horrible tor
lures on the females, to whom death
would be thousand times prefer
able.
1t is quite a common thing for
the frontiersman, during the In
dian raids, and when himself and
family are attacked and there is no
hope of escape, to put an end to
his own life and that of his family,
in preference to capture and tor
ture.
There is little use in talking to a
frontier settler who knows the In
dian nature, or who has lost, per-
haps, a wife and children in the
border warfare, about peace with
the Sioux, or of civilizing by the
Quaker peace policy, unpreceded
by a through subjugation by mill
tary force. For an answer you will
be apt to get look of anger
or incredulity, with the remark
"Stranger, amt you a tender-foOt

In Ireland the dog duty is 2s. a
head; in Great Britain 5s. a head.
In the former kingdom the money
realized by this tax is distributed in
aid of local burdens among the
counties and towns in the latter
country the revenue goes into the
imperial exchequer, There were
326,371 dogs registered for duty in
Ireland during 1875 this is at the
rate of about one dog to every u
inhabitants. The money realized
by the impost cane to 432,027. Per
contra, the expenses were G13, 729,
so that there was q net balance of
el8,307 to be divided. Many more
dogs are kept of course in the coun-
try than in the towns and we ac-
cordingly find that if we count
every little village as town, there
are about as many dogs in the
purely rural quarters as there are
in the Ill townships. AS an illus
tration we may compare Mayo
county with the city of Dublin
The population is about the same
$50, 900 eaoh--but in Mayo there
are 1901 dogs, and only 1850 il

From the Alexandria (ya.) Sentinel.
Custor's Ca yalrv.

The fate of Gen. Custer has brough. WV
idly to mind circumstance connected
with that weary and severe campaign
which, commencing on the upper Rapidan,
in the spring of 1854, stretched out in one
long battlefield around through the jungles
of the Wilderness. the slashes of Han
over, the pines Of the Peninsular and the
Dinwiddie forests, up to the Amelia, Farm
vile and AppomattoX. When active
movements commenced in May, 1864, and
Grant had commenced his swing to the
left, Lee facing him in a parallel arc, with
Richmond as the object of uncovering to
one, and of protecting to the other, the
first few days were signalized by some OF
the closest cavalry fignts of the whole war.
Grants cavalry had been thoroughly reor-
gained, and under Sheridan, with such
lleutenants as Custer, Torbet and Wilson,
was formidable body. The confederate
cavalry, too, was in the flower of its
strength and confidence. Each was feel
ing for the enemy's lines in the dense for
esls of Spottsylvania, and frequently sud
den enc hunters were the result. In one of
these regiment of Rossiers command be-
came suddenly engaged with portion of
that of Clusters, at very close quarters, ne
cessitating charge through narrow open
space, up to the edge OF WOOD III which
Custers men were posted, and from which,
being partially projected by fence, they
delivered a destructive fire, which with
their visible knowledge of the enemy's SUI
perlor position and strength made the Vr-
ginians falter. Rossier, as was his wont,
dashed into the open field to rally them.
OF commanding and striking figure, he did
not dream that over that line of foes, di-
recting and controlling their fire, flashed
an eve like Mars to command, but impress
sive as woman's to the claims of friend
ship, and which, even in the moment OF
bloody strife, recognizing him as an old
friend of West Point, was beaming upon
him in kindness and love. There was
many a horseman who wondered that day
why the enemy's fire so suddenly ceased,
when Rossler, recognizing the uselessness
of further attack, withdrew his men.
But The next day, as they kept moving by
the flank, following the federal cavalry
and the line of the "swing,' farmer,
whose house they passed, handed con
federate trooper note addressed to Gen.
T. l.. Rossier. which had been lett with
