ent stove. Its boiling, broiling, frying,
roasting and baking capacity has been test
ed to its Utmost. They refused to believe
that q stove, nine feet of pipe, all the table
ware, cooking and kitchen utensils required
tor ten persons, and two ovens could be
packed in q box 16x12xS inches. General
Merritt has ordered a board Of officers to
examine and report upon it. The report is
all that could be desired. I happened to be
in Merritt's camp last night and ten of the
officers took the address of the manufacturer
and sent their orders for stoves. I have
been sorely pressed to part with mine, but
it is too useful. The board found the stove
packed. 1t was unpacked, set up, bread
baked, coffee made, beef broiled tor five
persons, and the stove packed again ready
for transportation, all inside OF an hours
time. In fact, it needs no severer test than
it has had during this campaign. The cook
has been compelled to use such fuel as came
to hand-cottonwood, sage-brush, buffalo
chips, bark and turf. Col. Trotter, 18th
infantry, ordered one 24x15x12 inches to
cook for his company of ffty-four men.
The stove will cook three times its W
bulk.
LIDO not know that you have lost much
by not having to read anything [ would
have written in the last two days, as it
would have been all camp gossip. One
thing [ consider good enough to repeat. DR..
FL. was telling me a story about Gen. Candy
catching a gopher. Exhibiting his prize to
a young lady, he said: "There is a very
tender sentiment connected with this little
animal" "Why, I never heard of it. What
is it? "Don't you remember that beauti-
full ballad, Go, forget me?"
Two couriers passed us this afternoon en-
route to Rawlins. This is the ground held
by the Utes when they had Payne besieged,
and it smells strongly Of Indians. There
are a number OF dead horses near by, their
decaying carcasses filling the air with odor,
and it is hard to say which predominates,
Indian or dead horse.

CAMP ON WILLIAMS FORK. !

We pulled out this morning while the
four miles over a very mountainous coun-
try by 2:2O p. M. About 2 O'Clock this
morning the correspondent of the New
York Herald, who had been with Gen. Mer-
ritt, came into our camp. He reports that
the Indians who were said to be camped
were really there, and with them was Adj
ans, the Peace Commissioner, and a truce
of ten days had been declared. He says
that he Was present at an interview with
the hostiles and they claim to nave been
driven into this; that Meeker wanted to
force them all to work, and those that did
so he fed and clothed we'll, and those who
refused to work he treated insultingly and
kept the most Of their goods from them.
He also told them it they were not submits
sive he would put them in chains and hang
them up; that T%hornburgh was coming
with the chains and would help hang them.
His threats alarmed them and they sent of
messengers who met Thornburgh here and
at Bear river to find out what he was going
to do. They claim that T%hornburgh was
naughty and threatening. They asked him
not to march his whole force to the agency,
but to send five men to investigate. This
he refused, and started with his cannon.
They claim that no other course was left
them but battle. Their agent had abused
them and lied about them and now they
were threatened with hanging in chains. In
the fight the first day they lost eleven kill
ed, and twelve died that night of wounds.
They say that first there came a courier
from their people who were fighting with
the news that ten of their warriors had
been killed. They, Of course. supposed
their little army had been defeated, and
made preparations tor flight, but soon came
another messenger saying that five more of
their warriors had been killed, but that
Thornburgh had also been killed, and his
command repulsed. This stepped the flight,
and they determined to Wreak vengeance
on Meeker, who had caused all tlieir trouble,
While he was passing from his house to the
office they shot him, and then put a chain
about his neck, determined that he should
be the first to wear them. They did not
intend to hurt any Of the employees, but

where the massacre occurred, and the stores
were burned. At the upper agency; which
has been abandoned, was a fine eaw-pill,
This has been burned, and the charred re-
mains Of a human being was found in the
ruins.
In one of the warehouses of this agency
there was flour lying on the floor, in some
places two to four feet deep. The Indians
have tramped through it, but that did not
keep the men of this command from carry
ing it away in whatever would hold 1t.
Yesterday a man came into camp with what
looked like the legs and hips of a dead man
across the back OF his neck, feet sticking to
the front. This seeming half OF a corpse
was only a pair Of drawers. Having moth
ing else to carry his booty in, he had strip
ped off his drawers, turned them inside out
and filling them with flour set them astride
his neck. Those who have used the -four
say it is excellent, but have not yet been
driven to the extremity OF using it.
At95 p. m. intelligence was. braught up
from Merritt's camp that Lieut., Weir, of

why He is Called DE GoIycr Garfield,

This question, put TO us by "A Republican,
is one which we are willing TO answer:
WIN you please say why Tn Sun calls Mr. GARFIELD Of
ONO III GoLYER GARFIELDf
He came lcgitimately by the name II
often happens that when rich man dies,
leaving part of his property to some one
who is not n blood relation, the legatee as
sumes the name OF the benefactor along
with the property. The original DE GoLYER
was Chicago contractor who owned the
patent of so-called ironzed wooden block
for paving city streets Not long before he
died, he conveyed Il portion Of his property.
In the shape Of a check for $4,000, to JAMES
A. GARFIELD, then and now member of
the House of Representatives. We shall
presently refer to the circumstances under
which the gift was made. They were SO re-
markabe that it has seemed proper that
JAMES A. GARFIELD should bear the name
Of his bencfactor
GARFIELD was Chairman of the House
Committee on Appropriations in the Forty
second Congress. The SHEPHERD Ring was
in full control OF the District Board Of Pub
lie Works. The Chicago firm OF DE GoLYER
MCCLELLAN had the patent OF a worth
less pavement, and also had s97. 900 which
they were willing to expcnd rs a corruption
fund for the sake Of procuring profitable
contract. The wide streets and avenues Of
Washington with many thousands OF square
yards, each square yard worth so many
dollars to somebody, stretched out in every
direction from the building where GARFIELD
stood rs guardian at the Treasury door.
The agent of the Chicago contractors
spent their $4,000 of corruption money. A
larger part of it went into the pockets Of the
SHEPHERD Ring. Some Of it went into the
pockets OF members Of Congress. On May
20, 1872, GARFIELD reported to the House
two appropriations, one OF s6s230 and the
other Of $4,000, for the use of the SuEr-
HERD Board OF Public Works, and advocated
them in speech in which he warmly culo-
glzed the honesty and efficiency Of Boss
SHEPHERD and his pals. Mr.. RANDALL OF
Pennsylvania, now Speaker RANDALL,
sharply questioned the character Of the

Mhnt VIII New York sayf

good deal OF prominence is given 10 tho
fact that the recent Republican Convention
In Kentucky passed resolution highly
complimentary to Gen. GRANT. Tho con.
struction placed upon this resolution Is that
II is not merely an empty compliment, but
that 1t really amounts to the expression OF
apreference for Gen. GRANT as the next Re-
publican candidate for President.
Suppose 1t does How much weight will
tho choice Of the Kentucky Republicans
have with a National Convention The
possibility OF carrying their State for the
Republican candidate is something that
does not exist in the wild imagination OF the
most heated partisan. AZ far az any chance
OF carrying that State is concerned, it would
be just as well to nominate old JOHN Brown
dead and gone though he be. The prefer
ence OF Kentucky will hardly count for
much.
When It comes TO the State OF New York q
very different condition OF affairs presents
itself. Here is great State, nearly equally
divided. Both parties will reckon II OF the
first Importance to select candidates who
will be strong in this State viii the dele
gates from New York recommend to the Ma
tional Convention to saddle the party with n
candidate against whose election to third
term the power Of time-honored traditions
may tell fatally2
GRANT may be nominated with n rush. To
elect him with n rush will be another and a
very different matter.
And before his nomination, even, is settled
we may look for graver discussion on the
subject than has yet taken place.
