with great deal Of earnestness:
"We thought they kept US long
time as prisoners at Camp Robinson,
but we obeyed willingly because We
expected they would finally let us 90
to Red Cloud. Finally we were told
that we had to go back to Arkansas.
Then we got scared. We were afraid
to go back. We knew we would all
die there anyhow, and we were afraid
of disease. The country did not suit
us at all. We told the officers at
Camp Robinson about our going to
the Indian Territory and how bad the
country was, and what bad man the
agent was. We told them about our
coming back with our women and
children. When I came back and
we were spoken to by that Sioux from
the soldiers, / thought he was telling
us the truth. / never thought we
should be sent back. Ileft the South
because it was bad country. My
people were dying from sickness and
starvation. The agent wss bad
man, and he did not do as the Great
Father had promised.
"We knew there was a good agent
at Red Cloud, who gave the Indians
what belonged to them, and gave
them farming implements. We de-
cided to come back. They told us
we could not come back, but we
started. 1t was a poor country.
The ground was bad. the water Was
bad, the wood was bad. We did not
get anything to eat. We did not
want to stay there. We did not think
we would be pursued by the soldiers.
We we're -four days on the road before
we were pursued. They did not say
anything to us, but rode among US
and fired ON u.s. 49, -.
Last evening, at o'clock, the
Indians were placed in q passenger
coach on the Union Pacific Railroad
standing on a switch near the guard
house. 1t was the first time they
were ever in q railroad car. as
they were first taken across the coun-
try. As the locomotive came down
with its Kissing steam, changing bell,
and brilliant headlight, several of the
Indians started nervously, and the
children screamed. Confusion reign
ed for moment. Their fear was
soon charged to astonishment, and
from astonishment to delight. Lieut..
Foote, with one company of the
Ninth Infantry, assumed charge, and
will take the Indians to the Fort
Leavenworth Military Prison, where
the bucks will be held for trial. The
women, it is expected, will be taken
to the Indian Territory. ...

dren, who are supposed to have been
frozen in the bluffs during the escape.

cSp. zu, AotS'
EDITOR LEDGER-SIR: As per
promise, I give you q short account
of my trip and scenes. Through
Southern Illinois and Indiana, also
Ohio, there was no snow. Wheat
looked beautiful, as though it had
seen no winter, and everything had the
appearance of spring. But as we
crossed over into Pennsylvania and
New York on the Atlantic and Great
Western railroad, found we were
coming into another country. We
made a halt at Elmira to visit the
beautiful scenery at the head of Sena-
ca Lake, where the beautiful village
of Watkins is situated. This is q
great summer resort. The lake is
about 40 miles long with an average
width Of two miles. There are many
curious features about this lake thu
water is SO very clear that you can
see the fish and pebies to a great
depth and looks like salt water in
color. 1t also has great depth for
SO small body of water. It is said
that there are places that the. bottom
has never been found aud this ac-
counts for the very even temperature
of the water, never freezing over in
winter, nor getting warm in summer.
1t is thought by some that the lake
has q subterranean connection with
the ocean, as there has been great
quantities Of salt water fish come to
the surface there and die. There ia
a glen Of great natural attractions
about two miles long with small
stream running through it with wall
of perpendicular rocks on each side.
varying in heighth from one to two
hundred feet. There are numerous
hotels which accommodate . great
number Of summer visitors. Two
fine steamers run the length Of the
lake from Geneva to Watkins eyery
day, the whole length of the lake.
Arriving at my native place I found
stern old winter having full sway
with heavy body of snow on the
ground and more coming, and the
thermometer below zero.
Now, Mr.. Editor, i heard q great
deal of hard times there but allow
me to say, to the people of Audrafr1
county and Missouri, that they are
IN easier circumstances than the peo-
pie Of this old and much renowned
Slate, called the Empire State. Many
hat / knew but Q few years ago to
be In good circumstances are now
on their daily labor for
,read and their labor not in demand
It any price. Clerks get ten dollars
,er month and board themselves.
vas astonished in reading the speech
Il one of the Assemblymen OF this
district in the Legislature, that 80 per
ent. Of the lands Of his district was
nder mortgage; that one-half must
nevitably go to the creditor in two
ears, unless some relief comes TO
hem soon. This is truly hard times.

BUSINESS REvIVING.
SCENES IN THE DRY GooDS DISTRICTS.

The evidences that lively spring trade
has begun are plainly to be seen by any
one who might have occasion to travel
through the dry goods district during the
busy hours of the day. Every one of the
side streets is crowded with business draws
loading and carrying large cases of goods
to the railroads while the sidewalks are
almost impossible in consequence of the
number of packing eases which are being
strapped and marked prior to removal
Ordinary pedestrians find it difficult to
make their way through the number of
rapidly-moying porters and shipping
clerks. all of whom appear to be too busy
even to answer questions. Between Cham
bers and Canal streets, Broadway and
West Broadway, the scene was particular
ly active this morning, rapidly moving
hand trucks becoming distractions to side
walk passengers somewhat more often
than might be considered agreeable to ner
vous pedestrians. All the wholesale men
have pleasant countenances, and with
smile say that they ''have no time to talk. "
They nevertheless intimate that trade has
opened well, and bids fair to continue yet
for some time. ~. y. Com. Adc.. Saturday.
