Senator }. J. INGALLS, has an article
in the February North Anericon Re
rie,c in defense of JOHN BROWN, of Os-
awatomie. The illustriOus Senator is
supposed to refute the facts and argu-
ments of Rev. David Utter's article in
the November Rerie,c, but his rhetoric
is too fiery, his congratulations too ap-
parent and the political drift of the pro-
duction too deplorable to make it val
liable historic document. Senator IN
CALLS does wrong in affecting to hold
Mr.. UTTER and his article in contempt.
Mr.. UTTER is a scholarly man, and is
calm, dignified and impressive i'll his
writings. He seems to possess the de-
liberate, impartial mind which Is the
true historians vital necessity. Mr..
INGALLS, comes to the defense OF JOHN
BROWN with burning words and eager
rhetorical fiourishes which are inevita-
bly, calculated to fill the readers mind

great deal of trouble. Mr.. VAN WICK,
in his intelligent opposition to railroad
monopolies and fraudulent land grants,
is behaving as becomes most excellent
democrat. He is republican only in

GLENDIvE, May 10. lss4.-From an
interview with Major Whipple the
following details Of the recent attempt
of road agents to possess themselves of
his treasure box was learned. Major
Whipple's party consisted of himself,
his clerk, Mr.. Such. and escort of three
men, including Sergeant CONRAD and
two drivers in charge Of an ambulance
and a wagon. The latter following
the ambulance. carried the two sol.
diers, and the ambulance contained
the paymaster, his clerk, sergeant
Coenrod and the driver. the two latter
on the front seat. Contrary to usual
custom this vehicle also carried the
money chest, and to this lucky cir
cumstance is to be attributed the fail
ure of the road agents to secure the
booty. While jogging along, without
any thought of danger, the party were
suddenly halted by seven masked and
armed men at q point about six miles
from Glendive. who at once opened
fire on the cortege, with the intention
probably Of disabling the mules and
intimidating the party. Ia this fire
one of the mules was wounded and
Sergeant Coonrod also received q
wound, but he brsvely responded to
the fire, and kept 1t up until, receiv-
ing second wound he was disabled,
meanwhile Major Whipple and Mr..
Such had leaped from the ambulance,
and about the same time the driver
was hit, and lost control of the team,
which at once started to run with the
ambulance, which contained the
money chest, and the wounded and
dying sergeant. Major Whipple ran
after 1t, and finally succeeded In over
taking II and gaining control of the
team, but not before II had run some
distance and reached a ranch. Giving
his attention to Sergeant Coonrod, he
was carefully removed to the house,
where he shortly afterward died. both
wounds being mortal. Meanwhile
the road agents feeling confident that
the money was In the escort wagon,
had paid no attention to the
escape Of the ambulance, and
no resistance being now made
by the escort they were quietly and
Systematically held up while a search
was made in the wagon for the pay
masters safe. They then realized
that they had missed the plum for
which the raid was organized. Their
attention was then turned to Mr.. Such
aud the escort; from the former they
took SO and his watch, but subse-
quently returned his watch; from the
men no booty was obtained except a
small purse Of tobacco. They thea
destroyed the arms of the escort und
rode of, leaving Mr.. Such and the es-
cort free to resume their journey I'M
