IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
WASHINGTON, June 9.-The Secretary of theNavy
in taking official notice of the retirement of Rear
Admiral Ammen from active service in the United
States Navy. has written him very complimentary
letter. Admiral Ammen was one of the most dis
tnguished officers in the line of the Navy during
the rebellion. AS a schOolmate of General Grant he
continued to be an intimate friend of the ex-Presl-
dent. He was selected to take charge of the Bureau
of Navigation at the beginning of Grants first Ad-
minisration and his services in connection with that
bureau and the inter-Oceanc canal surveys across
The Isthmus of Panama have been of very great
value. Admiral Ammen viii retire TO his farm near
Washington. The following isO copy of Secretary
Thomnson's letter:

VERY INTERESTING TESTIMONY TAKEN-MR.

For the qualification Of the scar-faced
misanthrope who tries to run sickly
Matchmaking and reservation gobbling
sheet in Lewiston, we would announce
that his attacks on the Standard have
resulted in our receiving from his town,
this very night, ten paid cash subscrib-
ers-about one-third the number he has
on his entire subscription list. In re
spect to his personal abuse of us for dar-
ing to see honor and bravery in Chris
tian, we can only look at in the light
Of compliment, on the ground that
those who know the miserable piece of
parchment take everything he says to
the contrary STANDARD.
Keep cool neighbor. The English
language does not furnish terms Of
abuse beyond your merit. Several of
our citizens are willing to pay your re-
duced price of your weekly 81 so, just
to see what contortions and perversion
of facts you can make, and how you
can belle, the settlers on the frontier.

The Parent of Insomnia.

The parent of insomnia or wakeful-
ness is in nine cases out of ten dyspep-
tic stomach. Good digestion gives
sound sleep, indigestion interferes with
it. The brain and stomach sympathize.
One of the prominent SYMPTOMS Of a
weak state of the gastric organs is a dis
turbance Of the great nerve entrepot,
the brain. Invigorate the stomach, and
you restore equilibrium to the centre.
A most reliable medicine for the pur-
pose is Hostetters Stomach Bitters,
which is far preferable to mineral soda
.tives and powerful narcotics which,
though they may for time exert So
poritic influence upon the brain, soon
cease to act, and invariably injure the
tone Of the stomach. The Bitters, on
the contrary, restore activity to the
operations Of that all important organ,
and their benefcent influence is reflected
in sound sleep and tranquil state of
the nervous system. A Wholesome i'm
petus is likewise given to the action Of
the liver and bowels by its use.

Bullion Yield for 1877.

Wells Fargo's statement of the yield
of bullion for the year 1877, from places
west of the Missouri river, is as follows
California s1S,174,716; Nevada SOL
$4,000; Oregon sl,l91, 997 Wash
ington s92 ,226; Idaho 1882, 495;
Montana s2,644,912; Utah $685.

leo $4,000; Arizona s2,38S,622 !;
Dakota 81. 100000; Mexico sl,432,-
992; British Columbia Sl,277 100
making a total of ses,416,754, of
which s26,525, 331 were gold, and ST.
7ol ,423 we're silver. Nevada, Arizona,
Colorado and Utah show large increase
of product over former years, while the
other states and territories show small
decrease. But in the aggregate the
yield for 1877 was about SS,OOO,OO
more than any other former year. The
proportion increase of Nevada, Utah,
Arizona and Colorado, is due mainly to
the fact that large capitalists have TAX
en- hold Of the quartz in these states
and territories, while in the others a
comparative small outlay of capital has
been vested In the quartz. The quartz
in Idaho to-day offers as good induce.
ments to capital as any state or terrific
ry Of the Union.

Endorsement.

The Dallee Mountaineer classifes
Journals in favor of and opposed to Sen
ator Mitchell's bill for the extern
sion oil, time to the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company in which to complete
their road, and mentions THE TELLER
as favoring the bill. The Aoutaineer
is too fast. TIE TELLER has never
expressed its endorsement of the Nit
chell bill. In fact it has always fav-
ored the North Pacific Company, and
has been watching with much solicitude
to learn what was the real object and
intent Of the Mitchell bill. Most CT
the journals arrayed in its favor have,
on several occa sions> spoken against
the North Pacific Company, and this
augrrs to US that the Mitchell bill
contains a; secret lurking hostility to the
interest of the North Pacific Company,
and against its design to complete their
road. 1t really seems that the true
friends Of the Northern Pacific, both
east and west, are suspicious of the Nit
chell bill, and that the officers Of the
company themselves pronounce it as
originating not at their instance, nor
in their interest, and that they regard
its provision such as to make it impos-
sible for them to accept of its terms.
Why then extend che time upon such
terms as cannot be accepted :? tits use
less legislation and mere mockery.
But the great northwest must have
road, and who will build it if the
Northern Pacific does not?

Indian Programme. What Is 1t to be
For 1871

next Summer The public mind in
nearly all exposed localities is i'll at
ease upon this question, and all are an
ticipating that something is to be done
by the military, preparatory to averting
murderous blow upon frontier settlers
similar to that which took place last
season. The Winter is more than half
gone and so far no settled plan of oper-
atious seems to have been determined
upon, or if so, it has not been outlined
to the public. We have few troops
at Lapwai, and at Walla Walla, and at
the Spokane. But what they are to do
and what they can do to enforce the
provisions and arrangements made by
Watkins with the Indians north, is
greater mystery, and yet matter of
the deepest solicitude to all the settlers
north Of the Palouse. The reports
from Moses and those cooperating with
him, are that they are defiant, that they
will fight before they will submit to the
arrangement made by Watkins, and
that they are accumulating guns and
ammunition from various sources for
purpose of fighting. The commander
in-chief of the Columbia division seems
to be at his ease at his headquarters,
about the matter, and sends out word
that he thinks there is no danger. He
said the same thing last Spring, about
Joseph, and lulled the settlers into Sc
curity till rapine and murder was upon
them. Judging from his remarks pub
lished in the Oregoninn, we should in
fer that with Gen. Howard, the solution
Of the Indian question had lost itself in
chat of the proper disposition of the
Chinese. This all may be humane to-
wards the Chinese, but our frontier set
tiers say they have some claim upon
the commander of this division of the
army, for the early adoption of a policy
to avert another Indian outbreak, and
for the security Of white peoples lives
who are trying to settle up that portion
of the country which has been thrown
open to settlement. Hundreds to-day
are hesitating whether to locate lands
in the country north Of this place and
place their families upon them, by rea-
son of the uncertain policy to be adopt
ed with these northern Indians. The
present outlook is inimical to the peace
of the settlers north of the Palouse, and
especially so, if the purpose is to send
troops north to forcibly remove Moses
upon reservation. So say all old set
tiers who live in that direction. A. J.
Cain Esq, says Con. Howard has off.
cially endorsed his views in regard to
homesteading the Indians in severalty,
upon lands Of their own choice. But
has the General represented his views
to the War Department and urged them
or are these views such as he enter
tanned privately and not to enter into
the policy which he recommends to the
department, for action. The coming
season is one of momentous Importance
to the people of Eastern Washington
and Northern Idaho on this Indian
question, and they instinctively turn to
the commander. in chief of this division
Of the army, to know what may be ex-
pected in the way of security for life
and property against the Indians who
roam over this section and who now
are both defiant and threatening. IF
