ALITTLE TALK
Between Commissioner Hoyt and the Red

&
Between Commissioner Hoyt and the Red
Cloud Indians.
Red Cloud Agency, July 15.-Com-
missioner Hoyt and the Stanley COM
mission held a council yesterday with
the Red Cloud Indians. Hoyt spoke
pleasantly to them and Red Cloud re-
sponded. He said they wanted to 90 to
White Clay creek, over two hundred
miles from the Missouri. river. They
would not locate nearer. The Great
Father had promised them this selec-
tionlin writing. He wanted five hun
dred cows and other cattle, wagons,
farm houses and schools. He was con-
tent with their supplies. He wanted a
Catholic priest.
The Commissioner saw it was useless
to attempt to get the Indians to locate
on the Missouri river; but Gen. Stanley
told Red Cloud that the. cost of trans
portation Of supplies over that long dis
tance would come out of the supplies.
The Commissioners generally agreed
that Red Cloud was right and that the
Indians might 60 west. Spotted Tail
is equally determined to go thirty five
miles west of the Missouri river. Hoyt
is much disappointed.

A Sickly Defence.

The weakest defense yet made Of
Fitz-John Porter are the current at
tacks upon Gen. Pope, who is not on
trial, and upon whose acts history has
or will pronounce an intelligent verdict.
The question now at issue is whether
Porter disobeyed the orders of his su-
perior officer on the battle field. 1t is
question, too, easy of solution, for
Porter admits the disobedience, and his
defense seems to be based upon excuses
manufactured or obtained recently for
his fatal and criminal INSTRUMENTATION.
Incidentally Gen. Pope's campaign
plans may come up for discussion in
this connection; but the discussion will
not inure to Porter's advantage, for it
will show that the miscarriage of those
plans was due in part to Porter's unsol-
dierly conduct. No one, not even Gen.
Pope himself, we believe, has ever de-
Tended the manner in which the battle
In question was fought, for it is known
that McDowell's command, forexample,
was engaged by battalions only, or brig
AIDES at the most, and that when u bat
talion or brigade had been whipped,
another was sent in to meet the same
rate. In fact, Gen. Pope lost the battle
and great victory that at one time ap-
peared to be within his grasp, simply
because his subordinates did not fight as
.ney should have fought. It may not
!" popular to say such things. but it ID
reVertheless true that Pope's plan Of
.ne hight was perfect, and that, though
ol'er was mainly to blame for his de.
.ea'' there are others, some of whom
are now dead, who will share the re
sponsibility Of that defeat in the liehI
oI true and uuprejudiced historica
analysis.

IT begins to look as though the DEM
ocrats of the great State of Ohio might
go to the next national convention with
little influence in that body. In the
last convention, with Allen as their
candidate, they had no standing, but if
they should come along two years hence
with Senator Thurman as their favorite
son they will demand seat we'll down
in front, and probably get it without
much difficulty. When the Democrats
OF Ohio choose to act with any kind of
common sense-which is not very often
they are not to be lightly disposed of.

Walla Walla, July 14-S PIMA
man who left Weston to-day says the
troops are fighting between the mouth
of the Lodi Willow and Cayuse sta
tion, twelve miles from Weston on the
Meacham road. They commenced fir
ing between 8 and Q O'Clock this morn
ing, and they were still fighting when
he left. There are about $50 soldiers
under arms. They expect Major San
ford al Cayuse station tonight.
Many wagons have arrived in the
city, containing families coming in for
safety, and they are still arriving from
various directions.
10 p. m.-This place was thrown into
great excitement this afternoon upon
the receipt of report that the hostiles
were on Wild Horse creek, and that
fighting was going on there between
the artillery and the Indians, and that
in all probability the reds would come
down Vansyskle cafion and make for
the mouth of Snake river, passing
within two or three miles of this place
and likely calling upon us.
Upon learning of the fighting on
Wild Horse creek, Gen. Wheaton stop
ped seven companies Of cavalry under
Gen. Forsythe, who were just leaving
for Lewiston, and ordered them i'm
mediately to Wallula, or to aid Miles,
who it was supposed was engaged.
San Francisco, July 15.-Walla Wal
la dispatches give the following ac-
count of the fight at Umatilla reserva-
tion: News reached Col. Miles, who
was at Pendleton, that the hostiles
were at the reservation, and he at once
started for the scene with three hun
dred regulars. After a march of about
six miles, and within short distance
of Cayuse station, he encountered be-
tween four and five hundred warriors.
This was about eight O'Clock in the
morning. Getting his men into posi-
tion, Col. Miles opened fire upon the
hostiles, who returned it but without
effect, neither side sustaining any inju-
ry. This was continued without inter-
mission until IL O'Clock, when, the In
dians attempted to charge Miles, lines,
but were driven off, the redskins being
unable to stand fire from the howitzers.
In the charge the Indians sustained
loss, those present estimat-
ing their dead at seventy-five. Miles
casualties consist of two men wound
ed, one in the arm the other in the leg.
Shortly after o'clock the Indians fell
back towards the mountains. This is
the first time during this campaign
that the hostiles have attempted
charge, and shows they are driven to
desperation. During the whole fight
they shot wild. Miles, object, in view
of the overwhelming numbers against
him, was to prevent the advance of the
hostiles and. if possible, to hold them
in check till reinforced. This he did,
although his force was afoot, and the
savages were all well mounted.
Portland, July 15.-The following
dispatch is received from Pendleton:
The troops under Capt. Miles drove the
Indians into the foothills, near Cayuse
station. They fought four or Ave hours
at long range in the valley. Finally the
troops and volunteers made a charge
and drove them four miles to the hills.

vERsHIRE, VT, November 6th 1878.
There is petition to the Legislature of YER
mont now in session, being presented to the in
habitants of Vershire for the signatures OF its
freeholders and voters, that the name of this town
be changed to Ely There is also remonstrance
in circulation for signatures as above, to prevent
any such change. Now wish to present few
thoughts on the merits OF this question for the
consideration of the public, which | claim is con-
cerned in any transaction of this kind. First,
do not see as Mr.. Ely has any claim that the town
of vershire should be changed to Ely He is
highly respectable citizen and thorough business
man of West Fairlee, president of the Vermont
Copper Mining Company, Whose works are car
ried on in vershire, but | do not see why any
otter good business man of West Fairee is not as
much entitled to have the town of vershire named
for him as Mr.. Ely. What II the Copper Mining
Comrany have their works in vershire, and have
built up a considerable village in this town; what
is the motive and aim OF this Company different
from that of any private citizen who constructs
buildings and pursues his calling to make money?
Not any different, claim. Has the town received
any substantial benefit or favor from this Com
pany that they should discard their name for Ely?
1t will be claimed that they pay heavy taxes in
vershire as such benefits. II they have paid
enough taxes to support the paupers coming from
the Copper Mine village to the town for support
to pay for constructing and keeping in repair
highways in and out of Vershire where this town
has to pay for such work, then let us ray we are
satisfied that they stand even with the town. But
we think the records will show that they have fallen
far short OF this, though they have paid all the
taxes the law required. But another man says,

Letters from the People.



Messrs. Editors There is one feature of the
bill establishing State Board of Health that
ought to commend it to the farmers and dairy
men OF the Legislature and the state. We refer
to that provision which makes 1t the duty of the
Board to investigate the causes OF epidemics
other diseases occurring among the stock or do
nestle animals of the state, and the methods Of
remedyng the same. Public attention has been
directed to this matter by the able and interesting
lectures of Professor Greasy during the past year.
but he has only opened the door to wide field Of
investigation which is full of interest and promise
to the farming interests Of the state The study
of diseases of domestic animals is rs important
in many respects, as that OF human animals, and
it is very appropriate that State Board of Health
should take both within the purview of their in
vestigations The farmers, the dairymen and the
stock-rasers Of the state will reapa rich reward
from such investigations, The benefit to them
alone Judging from the interest already awakened
on the subject by Professor Cressy, and the re-
suits already obtained from his lectures, will cover
large proportion of the amount appropriated by
the state for the expenses of the board in saving
the lives and remedying the ailments Of the
animals =. T. d.
