The Nez Perces.

Gen. o. o. Howard, with his staff,
arrived at Bismarck on the 22nd, and
left at once for Chicago. Gen. Howard
wants to keep Joseph and his Nez
Perces at Miles post, at the mouth Of
the Tongue river. He learned that he
was to be thwarted in his designs, as a
courier had already been started over-
land with war department orders that
the cavalry bring the bad Indians to
Fort A. Lincoln, opposite Bismarck,
to spend the winter. Howard says the
removal will cause a row, as they
have pledged Joseph to keep his people
at Tongue river. Break the pledge,
and Joseph's suspicion of bad faith gen.
orally will be aroused. Besides, the
escaped Nez Perces will hear of the
~treachery, and they will give the
ranches and frontiersmen in Miles
neighborhood a taste of their revenge
again. Howard has ordered Miles to
winter them, with a view of removing
them in the spring to his department
of Columbia. He wants them there.
Howard, however, is too late, as coun-
ter-orders cannot reach Miles before
Joseph is headed toward Bismarck.

Sans men.of.war. Wednesday and
Thursday evenings the Independent
Band serenaded the vessel, their
music eliciting hearty applause from
the men assembled on the upper
deck; and shortly before noon on
Thursday the Cannoneers Of Don
allison brought out their piece and
fred a salute Of thirteen guns,
which was answered from the
Plymouth. Thursday nighta ball was
given at the u. S. G. B. Hall in
honor of the officers of the vessel,
who attended in force and appeared
to enjoy themselves to the utmost.
The hall was crowded with a merry
and brilliant throng, and the festi-
vities continued until midnight.
The visit ofthe Plymouth to Donald
sonville formed a rare and pleasant
episode, long to be remembered.
The return of the vessel will be
awaited with general interest, and
it is to be hoped she will again favor
us with a prolonged stoppage at
our town.-UriNe. Chief:
