CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb. 15.--Not-
withstanding Admiral Bunce's care
fully arranged plans for the effectual
blockade of Charleston harbor, the
dynamite cruiser Vesuvius successfully
ran the gauntlet of the North Atlantic
squadron during the night The block

bow of the Vesuvius. Admiral Bunce
was surprised and disappointed. He
had thought the thing impossible and
was loath to believe the report, it is
said, when it was conveyed to him.
How the blockade was run is priced as
secret ON board the Vesuvius.
The officers are all boasting of the
feat, and are as pleased over it as the
blockaiers are chagrined. The passage
through the fleet was made as easily.

are willing to become farmers, as our

are bad and fit only for grazing and

tried to plant, but the sun in July and

not enough water for agricultural life.
There are only few places where even
the cattle can get living in summer

nnaidens are now part of our tribe,
and we want them and their children
protected. But we want no more white
men to come among us. They marry
our girls merely to obtain tribal rights,
and then they cheat us out of our best
lands. If we punish them or drive them
out you send big army. We want you
to keep them all away from us and
let us live in peace"

Sometimes our young men think that
He is coming, and they dance and have
a good time. 1t is all right"
Senator Pettigrew inquired: do you
think the Saviour will come to the In
dians?"
"Of course" replied American Horse.

killed Him; and He will come to the
