Report of the Battle of Big Hole.

CaICAGo, September l9 Gen. Sherl-
dan is in receipt OF an official report OF
the battle At Big Hole, Montana, August
9th. and of the operations in that district
preceding the battle. Col Gibbon re-
fleets severely on the inhabitants OF Mon
tarA who sustained the Nez PerC,s by
trading of provisions to them Tor stock
stolen BY them from the whites thus pro
longing their fight, and adding to the
danger of pursuit. Tee best estimate
gives them 260 warriors, well armed.
By forced marches. Gibbon came up with
the hostiles with command OF seven
teen officers, 1872 men and 81 citizens
The attack was made late in he night,
the Indians being completely surprs q,
but as they at once took to the bushe- for
shelter and poured their volieys
into the troops as the latter came into
open ground, they did considerable ex-
ecutlon. However IN twenty minutes
the whole camp was in possession OF the
troops. The Indians being driven out,
still snot with deadly effect Vt long
range. By change OF base, shelter was
| obtained and retaiatory firing WAS be-
gun, with equal destruction OF Indian
| lite The IL disns, in the meantime hai
captured a howtzer, which WAS COM
| ing under escort on mules backs, the p7l-
Yates in the charge fleeing and Iesvir :
the officers to an unequal fight. Daring
the dav various strstegies were en-
ploved, but it was eleven o'clock a.
night before the Indians finally with
drew. On the llth the dead were bur-
led. General Howard came up that day,
but was too late to render any aid. The
report speaks in terms of the highest
praise of the conduct o. the officers and
men, and mentions only few of the
killed and wounded as chiefly note
worthy for bravery.

THE HIGH SCHOOL PROJECT.

Some weeks ago we gave our ob)ec-
tions in briet to the establishment OF wnst
the authors of the scheme are pleased to
call High School, but which, according
to the report of the committee, which
we understand, will be submitted to the
Board OF Education this evening, is TO be
q College. Our objection is, that the AZ
vantages of the school cannot be enjoyed
by those at VIII oSe expense it is mainly to
be supported, viz: the workingmen OF
the city. 1t is scheme to benefit the
few at the expense OF the many.
Let us look at it: The course as taught
in the common schools of the city at this
tine, requires the steady application OF
the pupil for from eight TO nine years,
Suppose the boy commences his attend
srce 1t the age of six, and is crowded
through The present course in eight years
he is then fourteen, though many OF
the pupils do not make it until they are
eighteen. Now, IN order to get advan-
tsge of the proposed High School, u
further four Years is added TO his attend
ance. That would bring the boy up to
the age of somewhere between eighteen
and twenty-five When done, he would
probably have a pretty good education, if
he had capable teachers all the way up.
But how many boys would be spared
from the workshops - long A very
few, perhaps.
Top purchase the lot, put up n building
suitable to the purpose, and furnish it
with the necessary philosophical and
chemical apparatus, would cost large
sum of money, and that at q time when
our trade is lsnguishing, our industries
Frustrated, labor poorly paid, and taxa
ton already felt as grievous burden
This large expense would b. an
additional tax upon labor, another
weight, another expressions: bur
den upon those whose wants
are so exacting as to prevent them from
avsiing themselves of the privileges Of
the school
If we have been correctly informed,
the special Committee will probably re-
port tonight, plan for High School,
including,
lst. A central college building large
enough to accommodate four or five hun
dred pupils.
2nd. That the Preparatory Course
must tske at least eight years
Sd. That the High School course must
occupy at least four years. The first
year to be devoted to algebra, natural
philosophy, botony, chemistry and phys
ology; second year, geometry, general
history, astronomy, minerology and Eng
lish literature; third, surveying, trigo
nometry, natural history, geology ard
moral philosophy; fourth, engineering,
book keeping, logic, rhetoric, mental
philosophy, composition and elocution.
Then the pupil is to receive a diploms
We are only astonished that LstiD, Greek
aud Hebrew are omitted, and that no
provision is made for instruction in the
Law, Medicine ard Divinity.
We have now good System of public
schools; and one which is popular with
the people. The burden of its expense
Is borne with pleasure by the people.
But we respectfully warn the Board tina
they are in extreme danger OF changing
all this. Until return of better times
the taxing power should be exercised rs
sparingly as is consistent with efficiency
in the schools.
