In the fight at Phil. kearney, twenty
seven hundred Indians were engaged
nine hundred did the fighting, while
eighteen hundred were lying concealed
near the Fort, TO capture it if reinforce
ments had been sent TO Fetterman. The
Sioux lost, in killed. Lone Bear and Iron
Eye and six warriors. The Cheyennes
had killed, Little Wolf and three war
riors. About one hundred and fifty were
wounded. Lying concealed on either
side of a ravine, when they raised up and
fired, the troops had advanced so far into
the acute angle of the ambuscade that
they fired past them, and many of the
Indians were shot with arrows from the
opposite side of the ravine. One soldier
boy, about seventeen years of age, was
captured but when the brother of Lone
Bear heard he was killed, he claimed the
privilege and killed the captive. The
commandant of Fort Smith does not
expect to be able to hold his position,
and it is thought if reinforcements do
not soon arrive, the command will come
to Clark's Fork or the Yellowstone.
When the troops destined for the route
arrive, posts will be established at all

meeting held here few weeks ago, with
the one held in Baraboo about the same

greater harmony prevailed than had been
anticipated. With scarcely enough "noes"
to count, the vote on the motion to raise a
tax of $4,000 for purchase of a site and
the erection Of a graded School House
was carried with an junction. clearly dem
onstrating that Baraboo has finally walked
up to the idea that we need a good School
House, and are going to have it.

The following take from Wilkes Spirit of the
Times of the 29th ult.


| MAGNANIMIrY OF GEN. GRANT-In the course of a
visit to Washington the present week, we had the
pleasure of hearing remark made by Gen. Grant,
which think should be given the country. Dur
ing the period of the rebellion it advantage
to enjoy the personal intimacy of of the most
prominent members of the Government, and we have
always made it point to repeat any of the
pressions elected during such intercourse in the col
umns of this paper There are exceptions, however,
even to the strictest rules; and propose now to
make such an exception in relation to Gen. Grant !;
not because he usually says very ittle and therefore
the public anxious for his opnions but because
the matter We have to state is very worthy of him.
so just to Sheridan and for both the useful
to the country that we do not think it ought to be
withheld. Gen. Grant, on the occasion we refer to,
had introduced to the three persons who were pres
ent the ject of Gen. Sherdans late dispatch in
laton to the Attorney Generals opinion; and, with
the view of justfying its style, explained that it
in the nature Of personal dispatch to him (not in
tended an official response to that opinon,) and
consequently not meant for publication sNeverthe
less said the General, 81 read copy of it in the
newspaper before received the original, and am
curious to learn how such result could have come
about" The General then went to say, that Sher
idans dispatch was almost in the nature of confden
tia communication and that it characterised by
an easy frankness, which was leading feature of
Sheridans character. He consequently, sorry to
that the papers were making such noise about it,
but attributed this ferceness of the attack in Lous
ana, to the fact that Sheridan not in with any of
the "rngs" down there, and that they consequently
hated him heartily, and therefore fell upon him all
together. Warming with his subject Gen. Grant fur
ther remarked, that the people did not thoroughly
understand Sheridan. He had popularity enough, it
true in fact all that could desire, but not
appreciation. He much broader man than was
generally supposed. He usually regarded merely
brave, off hand downright fighter with not much
calculation but he in reality man of fine judg
ment, and fully capable of handling under any cir
cumstances all the armies the United States had
together p This said with great animation and
after moments pause repeated with increased
emphasis. The surprising generosity of such decla
ration as this, from man who it would naturally be
supposed, would crave such commanding glory solely
to himself, made deep impression onthose of us who
heard it, and the childke earnestness and simplicity
with which the words were uttered, carried the con-
viction, that they spontaneously from big
heart and great nature. After this evidence Of mag
nanimity and selfnegation the part of Gen. Grant,
the most jealous patriot need have fears of the in
tegrity aud faithuness with which he will perform
his duties in whatever station he may be called upon

HORRIBLE MURDER AT SoMERrILLE, N.J-On the
morning Of June 3o Jacob Vanarsdale cut the throat
of little son Of Andrew Beard, about Il years old,
three miles south of Someryille, n j. He then
knocked down Mrs. Beard, aud attempted to escape,
but captured the arrival of the train at this
point. From evidence found in different localities it
is presumed that the murderer contemplated killing
some one, if not all, of that family. gun, heavily
charged, was found over the shop where the murder
was committed, and sharp hatchet sccreted among
his clothes in his bedroom. The aggravatng crcum-
stance on Saturday morning seems to have been the
fact Of the black girl being seated at the break
fast table before him for he, finding her there, went
out to the shop without waiting for his breakfast; and
the theory is that he determined to kill the first one
who entered. The murder is atrocous, and excites
much Indignation in the neighborhood-t young
lad being quite an interesting little fellow, and much
loved by his friends The murderer is about forty
five years old, and has former occasions threat

1he husband returned to his desOlate home

dreams, aud one that haunted him, being
repeated night after night, was this, that the
spirit of his wife came to his bedside and told
him that the undertaken had not removed
from her face the square piece of muslin or
napkin which had been used to cover her face
after DEATH but had screwed down her coffin
lid with it upon her; that she could not
breathe in her grave, but was unrest on
account of the napkin. He tried to drive the

and troubled him by day.


In despair he sought the undertaken, Mr.
Dickey, who told him that the napkin had
not been removed, but urged him to forget
the circumstance. as it could not be any pos
sble annoyance to inanmate clay. While
the gentleman frankly acknowledged this, he
could not avoid the appartion, and continual
stress upon his mind began to tell upon his
health. AT length he determined to have the
body disinterred, and visited the undertaken

same advice and persuasion, and convinced
once more of his folly, the haunted man

prevailed upon to accompany them, and
there, by the light of the moon, the body was
lifted from its narrow bed, the coffin lid
unserewed, aud the napkin removed from the
face of the corpse. That night she came to

Thanking him for his kindness, she pressed

BURIED IN A MINE.-Another cave occur

TresPass gives the following touching
scene:


His fellow workman, who was helping
him. put the set in place, made his, escape
from being carried down with the falling
mass by stepping to the south to firm ground.
Immediately his fellow-miners collected at
the edge Of the cave, and he spoke to them
from where he was buried, asking them to
get him out as soon as possible. They,
however, could not extend to him any aid i,
rs it was beyond the possibility Of human
strength to keep the earth above from falling ::
yet, in answer to their companions piteous
appeals for aid, they could but encourage
and bid him to be Of good cheer; that in
short time they would aid him to his liberty
How terrible the poor fellows situation.-
Buried in the mass of broken timbers and
quartz, he could still see the lights of his
companions cleaning on the edge of that
terrible abyss, which none dare TO enter, as
to do so would have been certain death from
the earth dropping from the cave overhead,
in detached masses; he could converse with
his old and tried friends, and perhaps receive
some ray of hope from their kindly meant
assurances of ultimate safety and yet, as
he felt the earth that pressed around him,
and the ecruel tim bers that bound him, slowly
sinking, how terrible must have been Ais
agony. His companions, too, although con-
stituting as brave band of hearts as ever
throbbed. were powerless, and could only
stand beside that awful gulf of yawning
death, and with streaming eyes, encourage
their friend with hope that they did not nor
could not feel. After the space of one hour
had passed, second fall of earth buried him
still deeper, when he called in heart rending
voice to his companions to be quick, as be
was smothering to death and then all was
silent except the falling earth aud timbers
which suddenly gave way, forty feet above
in one grand crash, and sunk, with the ether
ground, to the lower level of the mine, where
all that is mortal of Patrick Price now lies
buried beneath thousands of tuns of ore and
timbers, perhaps never to be exhumed.
