The Military sltua ton.

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 1T is learned by dis
patches here. to-day, from Big Springs, on
the Union Parific, that Thornburg's COM
mand was 80 miles north of that point on
Sunday, camping without wood or water.
Ponies were found, left by the Indians, still
wet with perspiration. Rifie-pits were
found at camping points, showing civilized
method of warfare. Trails are diverging
in every direction over a wide ex-
tent of country. The Indians I'M
doubtedly crossed Red Cloud and Spotted
Tails trail. Cartoons command is still be-
tween Red Cloud Agency and the Chey-
ennes. Bradley's infantry, under Capt.
Munson, stopped ut the Chugwater. Mer-
ritt, with the 9th Cavalry, is at Laramie. 1t
is considered improbable here that the
Cheyennes will be overtaken. A prominent
citizen, arrived to-day from Camp Brown,
Northern Wyoming, says 150 ArapahOes and
80 Cheyennes have left the reservation there
in the past two weeks, on pretense Of hunt
ing, and not returning, IL is believed have
gone on the war-path. They are all good
warriors, and informed of recent move
ments. A general understanding is evident
among the Indians.

When to Paint Houses.

Paint applied to the exterior of build
ings in autumn or winter will endure
twice as long as when applied in early
summer or hot weather. In the former
it,dries slowly, and becomes hard, like
a alglazed surface, not easily affected
afterward by the hot weather, or worn
off\ by the beating of storms. But in
very hot weather, the oil in the paint
soaks into the wood at once, leaving the
lead nearly dry and ready to clumble
off. \This last difficulty, however,
might, in measure, be guarded against,
though,at an increased expense, by first
going over the surface with raw oil.
Furthermore, by painting in cold wealth
er the annoyance of small flies, which
invariably collect during the warm
season on fresh paint, is avoided, As
an Offset to this, there is trouble with
slow-drying paint-it is that the dust,
which always will collect upon exposed
surfaces, will keep collecting as long as
the paint is not dry, and stick to it, so
that to obtain q smooth surface, free
from adhering dust, it is necessary to
secure quick drying. This is especially
the case when vanishing. We have
often been disappointed, and no doubt
so have many others, that the varnish
used dried so slowly that dust had time
to settle on it before it became hard

INDIAN DEPREDATIONS.
The Massacre in Decatur County, Knns

Ihe Massacre IN Decatur county, huhsas'
HAYS CITY, Kas., Oct. 4.-Twenty-
dead bodies were Brought in last night to
Buffalo Station, 60 miles west Of here, the
result of Tuesdays fight 10 miles north OF
Buffalo. Twenty of the deceased were cat
tie men, and entire strangers to all VINO
viewed them, while five were recognized as
settlers. After killing their victims the In
dians continued their course north, taking
with them every horse and pony within a
range of 20 miles. The band struck a stream
called Prairie Dog, 40 miles north OF the
Kansas Pacific Road, killing the herders
that were herding horses and cattle, and
settlers as they came on to them. Thirty.
three dead bodies were found yesterday by
their pursuers in Decatur County, in the
Prairie Dog region. This was evidently the
work Of the last band that crossed the road
on Tuesday last. No one has been able to
learn the names of any of yesterdays dead.
A later dispatch regarding the savage work
in Decatur County, says the depredatlons
were found to be even worse and more sick
ening that at first reported. The following
are the names of the killed, ravished and
wounded: Mr.. Humphrey, Of Illinois, and
two sons killed, while another SON will die
from his wounds; Mr.. Lanig and three sons
killed, while the most shameful crimes We're
committed upon the persons OF Mrs. Lanig
and her three daughters, after which the
ladies were placed in one corner of the room
and straw piled upon the dead bodies of the
father and brothers and set fire to. From
this smoke and darkness the ladies made
their escape, running eight miles without a
stitch of clothing upon them. Mr.. Smith
was killed; Mr.. Westfall and two sons kill
ed and Mrs. Westfall dangerously wounded,
but will recover; Mr.. Felt, Mr.. Alternately,
Mr.. Tull, MIR. Evans and MIR. Kelly were all
killed; Mr.. Young died of his wotlnds, f.
Walters of New York, and Mr.. Wright of
Illinois, are missing and supposed to be
killed, Two voting ladies were stripped of
their clothing and ravished in the most brutal
manner by 13 of the red devils. The ladies
were named Evans, late of Illinois; they will
recover. Mr.. Keifer, who was wounded,
will recover. The bodies of eight children
were found on the prairie Friday by a scout.

Registration Of Third-class Natter.
Circulars to Psstmasters.

With the view of affording public con-
venience and of promoting the efficiency OF
the postal service, the Postmaster General
has ordered that the registry system be ex-
tended to mail matter of the third class, 10
take effect on the LIST October, 1878, and that
the registry fee for each package of such
matter be fixed at the uniform rate of ten
1O) cents, additional TO the postage now re-
quired by law.
Postmasters will, therefore, on and after
the date mentioned, register to any post
office in the United States, or to any foreign
country within the limits of the Postal
Union, all packages of third-class matter
that may be offered for that purpose.
No packages, however, must be received
for registration as thirdclass matter until
proper examination shall show it to he en-
titled to transmission through the mails as
such matter.
Great care must be exercised to prevent
the registration and admission into the mails
of matter that is unmailable, and also ia
prevent the admission at third-class rates OF
matter upon which postage is properly
chargeable at first-class rates under existing
laws and regulations. Postmasters should
require packages to be put up securely so a.
to safely bear transportation, but not in such
manner as to prevent an examination oi
their contents, either at the mailing office OF
the office of delivery. Matter offered foi
registration in violation of these require.
ments will be treated as now provided by law
Both postage and registry-fee must bt
fully prepaid with postage stamps affixed tC

be indorsed, either in writing or in print
upon each package of third-class matter
offered for registration; and there may b,
added to this brief description, in writing
or in print, of the number and names of tn,
articles inclosed. No additional written
matter, except the address, is permitted by
law. A request to return may also be print
ed, but to write such request would by Law
subtec. the package TO postage at tirst-clas
| (letter) rates.
Unclaimed registered packages of third
class matter will be treated the same as un
claimed registered letters.
For the present, at least, the registered
package envelopes, forms and blanks nov
| provided for registered letters will be useC
| for the registration of third class matter
but when so used, they must be indorsed
either in writing or with stamp, with thi
| words, "third-class NATTER" so to pre-
| serve the distinction on the records between
| the two different classes OF registered mat
| ter. When from its form or size packag,
can not be inclosed in registered package
envelope, the envelope may be used as nov
| provided for similar cases of first class mat
ter. 1t must not, however, be so applied a
| to conceal the address, or prevent the film,
up OF the "record OF transit"
