We have received from w. M. a very long
article on the general subject of delay and de-
nial to the soldiers of the bounty and other priv
ileges promised Its great length prevents us
from publishing it, and we should do the arti
ce injustice by giving only part Ills recollec-
tions of the early times of the war are written
with great vividness, and the general tone and
spirit of the whole is in strict agreement with
. what we believe the almost universal sentiment
of the surviving soldiers of this country.
We have also received letter from Indiana,
giving case of peculiar hardship upon the men
OF certain regiment who went on duty in No
vember, but were not mustered into the y. S..
service until March of the following year, and
many of the soldiers have failed to receive boun-
ty because they did rot serve two years from
tfse date Of mastering, although they rendered
more than two years of actual service. If our
correspondent will send us the number of the
regiment we will endeavor to help him. His
remedy is by an act or joint resolution dating
the muster ia, back to the time Of actual entry
written him Oh the subject, and publish this

This is drank at once and is quite pleasant and cooling, while it acts free ly upoff the bowels and kidneys.

While Tony Pastors troupe were

The operator began to be troubled
and tried again, turning the crank,
when cries of pain began to issue
from it, the spectators began to
growl, and one young man expressed
his intention of coming up and kick

The white men should have the
Black Hills. The government made
a treaty with the Cheyennes by
which they gave up their hunting
grounds, and were transferred to a
reservation in the Indian Territory.
They were to have rations and mate
rial for cultivating the soil. Indian
agents living in New York cheated
them out of supplies, medicine and
clothing. They were left TO starve,
to freeze, to die. Again and again the
reservation officers appealed by tele-
graph and letter to the agents in New
York. No attention was paid to
them. The Cheyennes in the midst
of starvation, their women and chill
dren dying for want Of medicine, be-
came desperate and broke away from
the agency, and tried TO make their
way back to their old home, the
Black Hills. They committed dep
rotations, they were hunted down
and captured. When captured, men
women and children, half naked,
some with limbs frozen, were hud-
died in pits filled with mud and wa
ter, shiyering and crying bitterly,
but declaring they would rather be
shot down than be taken back to the
agency. So miserable was the spec
tacle as they were marched into tent,
that the very soldiers could not re-
frain from tears.
Such is the truthful history of the
late Kansas raid. We hope the Indians
win be punished for wrongs they
have done, and we also hope the
Devil will tget the thieviLg In
dian agents in New York, who
cheated them out of the supplies
they were TO have got for giving up
their hunting grounds in the Black
Hill.

But the moment he had reached the

in, he grew frightened and rushed to
the nearest police station for help.
A physician was called in, and he
was dragged back to life.
