sENTENcED TO THE PEN1TENTARY.
The November term of tho district
court in session at Glencoe, Mcleod Co, Mimi,
adjourned Nov. 20. One OF the last acts Of the
court was the sentencing OF c. R. Minis, the
defaultng treasurer of Mcleod county. This
case had been running in the courts fer the
last three years. and every effort that legal tai.
snt is capable of putting forth has been exert
ed to save him from State Prison. But few OF
the town people had notice OF the hour when
he was to be brought In for sentence, conse-
quent there was no crowd in the court room,
and the unpleasant duty Of sentencing one of
Mcleod eounty's most prominent, and, until
this unfortunate defalcation, most respected
and trusted citizens, to Saltwater for four
years, and to pay fine of s39240.94 was very
quietly done. Before receiving his sentence,
Minis made full and clear statement of the
circumstances that led to his disaster.
THE MORMoNs AND THE INDIANS.
At Los Pinos, Colorado, Agency, Nov,
20. the commission was occupied in inter
preting the testimony of Miss Meeker, taken
at Greeley, Colorado, which finished the evi.
dence of the captive women, and no objections
being raised by Ouray, 1t was admitted to rec.
ord. At this point Ouray stated to the com.
mission that he had the bestproof of overtures
being made by Mormons to the White Rv
er Utes, promising to supply all arms and
ammunition required provided they would
continue their fight. This occurred since
Gen. Adams was ut White River, and If proven
may explain the cause of the outbreak. Gen
Hatch and Adams have insisted that the
White River trouble was an enigma which
failed Of solution. Tho present commission
may find one. In fact, that the Mormons were
not only the instigators' OF the White River
massacre, but Of similar deeds elsewhere. Il
Jack will toll the truth, he will prove valu
able illness. Awaiting his arrival and re-
naming hostiles, the commission adjourned

ant piece of news was announced in Wal
street, Nov. 81, to the effect that the Atchison

suance Of which the railroad is to be built

charter Is still valid and the land grant with
1t conveys about 40O0O,0OO acres. Bonds are
to be Issued to the amount of $4,000 600, &c.
cured by these lands, and the road and guar
antee by the St. Louis & San Francisco and
Atchison, Topeka g. Santa Fe railroad. These
bonds have been placed already. The recent

GEN. ROBERT ANDERSON.
At the session of the Society of the
Army of the Cumberland of Washington. Nov.
70, Gen. Sherman read letters from Mrs. E. B.
Anderson and her daughter, Eva, denying
charges Of disioyality against Gov Robert
Anderson and asking the society to take some
action on the matter. Gen. Sherman then
offered the following resolution and it was
unanimously adopted: o.: .v@5t'
Resolved: That the heartfelt sympathy of
the Society of the Army OF the Cumberland Is
hereby rendered to the widow and daughter
OF the first commander of the Army Of the
Cumberland; that the society will ever bear
In honorable memory his pure and noble
character and his heroi, devotion to his
country, and that they ever regret his health
In 1851 prevented him from reaping the fruits
OF his valor and courage IL the cause of the
Union, and it will ever be remembered tina,
the Army Of the Cumberland owes q great
debt for the leadership Of Gen. Anderson. and
that nothing but poverty prevents them from
erecting suitable testimonial over his hon.
ored grave at West Point Gen. JEFF. C. Davis
paid tribute to the patriotism and loyalty of
Gen. Anderson. Nobody who had ever seen
that soldier at Fort Sumter would question
hts loynlty. Columbia made no miatake
when she had sent down Robert Anderson
ito let slip the dogs of war" (Cheers)
