BARREN CAMPAIGN.

Gen. Howard takes about as much
riding and lives as hard as the rest of
the command. He has, beyond doubt,
conducted the campaign with great &C.
tivity and moved the troops with great
rapidity, over rough, broken country.
But the most Of his movements have
been based on guesses as to the location
and movements OF his willy foe, and
hence have been almost totally barren
of results. He was totally destitute of
a good reliable force of scouts. who had
the disposition, as we'll as ability, to
hunt up and keep the General posted as
to the situation. probable movements of
and best route to reaching the enemy.
With we'll selected. organized and
managed force Of scouts, the troops
would have been saved hundreds of
miles of useless travel, snd would thus
have been fresh and "eager for the fray"
when the enemy was attacked ".

JOSEPEHEN MONTANA.

The San Francisco Chronicle has
this dispatch from Montana:
Capt. Run Of the Missoula post, up
on McDowell's order to stop the hostles
and capture them, moved up to Lo Lo
pass with 20 rec ulars and 40 volunteers.
This was all the available force. A
company was ordered from Ellis and the
troops at Shaw ordered up, but the lat
ter were SO slow in movement as not to
get started till it was too late. The war
department refused to let Gov. Potts
raise or organize volunteers, but many
volunteers went on their own account,
principally from Deer Lodge and Nilsson,
la. Capt Raun, surprising that How
ard was in pursuit, 10 trenched his little
force in a commanding position in the
pass where the hostiles could not get by
with their stock. and held them there
for four days parleying,. awaiting rein.
Iorcements, and expe citing Howard s
force to strike the rear. The Indians,
knowing that they were not prrsued,
spent their time in cutting a new trail
around the entrenched troops. and about
the fifth day moved around Capt. Raun
and took the road for ldissoula but
they were met on the way by the Deer
Lodge volunteers going to Raun's assis-
lance, when they turned and retreated
in southerly direction up the Bitter
Root. valley. They are still moving in
that direction, not molesting the scat
tered settlements, and seem to be On
their way toward Lemhi, with possible
view Of Snake river lava beds, but more
likely of crossing by Heory's lake, or
even south of there to the head Of Vel
lowstone and down to the buffalo coun-
try. They say they will not fight un,
less their retreat is arreste |. The Deer
Lodge volunteers have gone to the head
of Deer Lodge valley. and de,a chmenis
have gone to the head Of the Big II ole,
but it is not likely that any force of vol
unteers can rally sufficient to stop and
give them battle, and no regulars. are at
hand. If troops were sent'from Corinne
and the forces of the Yellowstone ordered

campaign prevented
The absence OF sufficient troops in
this Territory, the slow movements of

al of the war department to authorize
Gov. Potts on his demand to raise vol.
unteers, are the cause Of the failure to
arrest their passage, and. above all, the
fact that Howard failed to pursue. Capt. |
Raun's little band held them in a pass
for nearly a week, expecting the pur.
suers to fall on their rear, and all this
time the question among the people was

OPPORTUNE PROVIDENCE.

The Congregational religious associa
tion which met at Seattle June 2lst
1877, passed the following resolution:
Resolred, That we deem it an oppor,une

cial means to learn the condition OF the In

fairs, while we will pledge ourselves with
others TO pray for him and his command
that there may be speedy return of peace.

i'gious body must necessarily refer to

wards the Indians. for certainly it could
not refer to his knowledge either of
Indian character or the true situation
OF things here among the Nez Perces.
1t is abundantly evident that if we ad-
nit that Howard really wished to inflict
a merited punishment Of these hostiles
for the murders they committed, he has
shown great want Of knowledge of the
proper means to accomplish that end.
When the best Of opportunities hare
presented themselves, and several of
these have done so, Gen. Howard has
never been ready to infict blow upon
the hostiles. Many believe, and not
without good reason, that he did not
want to kill many Indians, and many

dams first attacked him on the 18th of
July, he never would have attacked
them. They actually forced him into
the fight, and after he had fought them

he never followed up his success to pun
ish the Indians. but listened to the first
of proposition to treat and
mean time suspended all plans to head
off the enemy from retreating over the
Lo. Lo pass. and not until the hostiles
had full time to enter the pass did Ho-
ward take any steps to learn their in
tentions. 1t would thus seem that this
religious ass citation counted we'll on

RECUPERATE.

We have as people, for the pas
two months been on the ragged edge o.
suspense. In some localities about ono
third and in others about one half oil
our population vacated their homes
through apprehension Of Indian out
breaks. In many instances these homes
have remained vacant up to the pres
ent time, though as we are informed
that nearly all the male portion of fam.
lilies have returned. In some instances
stock was driven of out of the Terri
tory to avoid its being captured by In
diaus. Some Of this has been driven
back and some still remains away, and
consequently we suppose is beyond the
reach of the county assessors for the
present assessment. 1t is impossible to
determine what amount of damage our
people have sustained by these two
months of interregnun of their legiti-
mate business, the real damage may
be limited, bat yet it is undesirable.
With farmers who had their seed in
and their fields fenced the loss is com.
paratively small as they now find it
safe to engage in their harvest. But
Enclosed grain fields have been destroy.

of the year for mining operations have
been lost to the mining camps, save to

consequence the gold yield will be COM

CONSERVATIVES Take Notice.

Every moment of delay makes your cure
more hopeless, and much depends on the ju-
dicious choice OF a remedy. The amount OF
testimony in favor of DIR. Schenck's Pulmon-
ic Syrup, as a cure for Consumption, far eN-
ceeds all that can be brought to support the
pretentions OF any other medicine. See DIR.
henck Almanac, containing the certlh-
Gates OF many persons OF the highest respecta-
bility, who have been restored to health, af
ter being pronounced incurableby physicians
OF acknowledged ability. Schenck's Pulmon-
&c Syrup alone has cured many, as these evi.
deaces will show; but the cure is often pro-
NOTED by the employment Of two other RENE
dies which DIR. Schenck provides for the pur-
pose. These additional remedies are Schenck's
Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. By the
timely use of these medicines, according to
directionsI DIR. Schenck .certiies that most
any case Of Consumption may be cured.

Vicious Migrants.

Nebraska tramps are vicious fellows.
They love to steal rides ON the cars as
well as they love to steal anything val
liable in the line of personal property.
On Tuesday night last, a party of
tramps boarded the west bound express
at Kearney Junction, Neb., and started
westward. Before reaching Shelby the
conductor stopped the train and put
them off. The villains at once began
gathering up rocks, brick-bats, etc.,
with which they pelted the train until
it was out of reach. A number Of car
windows were broken and two of the
passengers narrowly escaped serious in
jury. One man in the sleeper was so
frightened that he sprang from his
berth and was bruised by the fall.
The broken panes were replaced while
the passengers were dining here.

standing ipfront of his shanty inspect
ing a lot Of quartz, but dropped the
rocks and led the way inside. remark
ing: The boys call this the Stock Ex-
change, because every miner coming in

is the Recorders Office foi the : Foster
district pointing to an inverted candle
box nailed to the log wall for q desk.
While I was inspecting this piece of
furniture, Whipple put a pan Of dried
apples upon the fire to stew, and then 1
began pumping him about prospects in
the district, and succeeded beyond my
expectations. In fact 1 couldn't get in
a word edgeways. He set forth the great
geographical advantages they enjoyed

tent of assuring me that they soon ex-
pected to have a custom-house, and that

were barren. The finest farming land,
the biggest timber, the purest water,
the best whisky and the %pluckiest Of

tinued L know not, but stranger en-
tered and called for a drink. Whipple
lodged behind the counter, but in my
full view, strained the apple juice into
a pitcher, poured in a quantity of water,
squirted in a little stuff from a small
vial, poured the mixture into the bottle,
shook it well, and placed it on the coun-
ter, with the remark: It's a little
warm; just sot it by the fire to keep
from freezing.' The stranger gulped
down a good four fingers, dropped a
quarter upon the counter, wiped off his
chin, and departed.

came from the bar, and backed up to the
fireplace, that fellow don't know good

The audience at Recreation hall last

a very interesting lecture on the Big

try. The lecturer, Gordon Topper,
handled his theme in a clear and effect
i've manner, interspersing his descrip-
ton of mountain and stream, peak and
canon with many a glowing picture of
the beauties of that region so bounti-
fully blessed by nature. The well-writ-

ing adventures by hunter, trapper and
miner with the red devils, who are the
only barrier to a region rich in mine
rails, Astounding in game, with a soil
and climate unequalled On the CONT
nent. Mr.. Tupper's information is de-
rived from an extensive experience in

cribes, and those who are interested in

could have derived a fund of reliable
knowledge of that coming Ell Dorado in

Major North and the Scouts.

Major Frank North with his brave
little band of Pawnee scouts, is at
Sidney Barracks. They arrived there
some days since from Fort Fetterman,
where they left Crooks command. They
had with them 1000 head of ponies,
and Is scalps, as trophies from the
fight under Gen. Mackenzie with the
Sioux and Cheyennes, in the Sioux pass
of the Big Horn mountains.
Major North enjoys the reputation of
being one of the best scouts of the west.
His laurels were won, not written up

lie," who, in this country sink into
