TEUUBJLE BATTI.E WITH TIIE SlOrX.
" .':''-lA few days ago the telegraph brought
" accounts of a terrible battle between tlie
Skmx India sis and -Government troops,
;the latter nnder command of General
Cnste'r, a brave'officer and . an experi
enced Indiaia.jIghter.L Tlie battle was
disastrous! to ilie troops; five companies
of the Seventh cavalry and a xmtnber ot
" scouts,, aho-attacked the Indians, were
i- s (annihilated,-ouly one scout, a Crow In
- ir lt1ian, escaping with his lite. General
Cubterlotlier wittl liis two brothers,
i. Cbls. . Tom and Boston Custer, bis
-"brotber-lnllaw j Cot. Calhoun, and neph
ew, CoL -Yates, were among the killed.
'1 For full details of tlie fight, we refer
itn.e readef to anotYier column in tins' is
sue. This disaster is most unforiui;ate,
... ;t not only on account of the terrible loss
? -"f llfb resulting therefrom, but because
it will increase- the confidence of the
Sioux in their ability to cope 6tiecessful-
y with the whole power ot thoGovern
laent; will euconrage other dissatisfied
: bands to acts of lawlessness if not to
open rebellion, and will thus prolong a
cruel and bloody war, resulting in. l;e
. .s.-Toss oi many valuable Uvea and oceans
.bf treasure; Custer's mistake not only
caused the loss of his own life, bat will
t cause the loss of hundreds if not thous-
ands of valuable lives before the mistake
is rectified. 8 - - v"
r Wc hope, after this wholesale niaasa
. Hvcret of the soldiery, there will be no more
" "' Triekty eeutiraeiitalism shed over these
bloodthirsty savages, but that vengeance
'"'- ewe, 6wift and terrible may be meted
out to them by the strong arm of the
Government, to tlie extent, if necessary,
of making "good Indians," ot the entire
Sioux nation,
TO TIIE HIGHEST BIDDER.
That "excellent, consistdnt aud con
servative Democrat," Brick Pomeroy,
. ;'is bit'terly. opposed, to the Democratic
nominee for the Presidency, Sam Til
t - den. , Brick is not alone in his opposi
v iion, as there aro numerous oilier lights
' K the Democracy - who openly ' and
bitterly denounced his nomination,' and
are as bitterly denouncing him since bis
nomination by ithe St. Louis Conven
; tion. v Among other Democratic jour
nals of tlie States who denounce Sam
Tilden, is the Kansas City, Times. In
t-a lat&nuipier that journal says:
- : A many bis wife, and their four chil
dreu tried to drown themselves together
in ht Louis, the other day, but were
rescued by a boatman. They were des
- titntc. and the parents' after a delibcr-
ate discngsion of the subject, had de-
" cidedupon suieider. The oldest" ot the
' . children, a errl of thirteen, Iiad acquies
ced in the determination but the younger
ones did not seem, to comprehend the
.importance of the event. lire inci
' dents like this are occurring daily in all
- ' our crreat cities', we are told that Mr.
" - Sam Tilden is spending a million dollars
to make himself the nominee of the
Democratic party, and that if nomiiv
"' ated, he and the "Money Power wiJl
sixmd four millions to elect' hhn. "Let
'the pauper masses eo on with their sui

The New York Herald thinks that
5 Tilden is the most unpopular candidate
r ' that could have been selected for run
1 iiing in Ohio and Indiana, and the aim
'. of the Convention was to supplement
hiui; with a man who was pot so ob
jectionable, and who might possibly
carry Indiana. Tbere is no hope of
i,bea.Ung Hayes in Ohio, and but little if
-any in Indiana 5 and if these two arc
''lost to the Democracy in October, there

A terrible storm of wind and rain
passed through portions ot Iowa and
Missouri on the 3d and 4th. -The dam
age in Dubuque was immense, and will
take many months to repair, The
greatest amount ot damage done was
in Central Iowa. In Warren county
tyettty-five persons were killed; six or
eight wereTkiliect in Madison county,
while sixty houses were totally de
stroyed, as many 'more badly damaged,
and the destruction of fences, crops,
animals etc., immense. ' The names
or even numbers of those killed have not
been fully ascertained, and were mostly
wives ana children of farmers. - The
number ot killed ' in Warren county
alone is placed as high as 5 forty. ' At
Norwalk the house of Mr. Gideon was
6wept away, and bis wife and three chil
dren drowned. Between Wiuterset
aud Norwaik eleven persona were killed,
seven drowned anef 'four struck .by
lightning. Th Adair county, Mo., the
damage to farms aud crops reported
at $20,000, while the" injury io other
counties is reported great.
The death of Gen. Custer has caused
universal regret, and we have . heard
bnt one' wish expressed, .-and . that was
the hope there would be no more"fool
ishnes'? exhibited in attempting moral
suasion With those bloodthirsty savage",
but that lead and cold steel should
hereafter be meted out to them, in no
stinted measure. Let the army be
sti ergtlioncd ; it deemed necessary call
out vf.Innteers men accustomed, to In
dian habits and Indian fighting, and
let them go for Indians in their own
style, and we will have no more mur
ders ol iunocent women - and children,
or wholesale massacre of the soldiery,
to record.
Valvable Horse Lostv -One day
last week, as . Wm. P. Dunbar and
party were going from their camp to
Newport, in a wagon to which four hor
ses were attached, one of the wheel hor
ses became frightened and jumped over
the lead-bar, falling in such a way as
to break his neck, and somebody is out
a good but foolfeh horse.

on his way to join the Sioux expedition.
Terry will then have an anuy of over
4,000 men, which is. deemed sufficient
to whip the Siwashes.
gxqessive heat prevails in the Eastern (
cities, aud cases of sunstroke are fre
quent and often fatal. Up to the 11th,
twelve deaths from sunstroke had oc
curred in Washington, and for the first
time n the history of the capitol build
ing, work has been entirely suspended.

AST THE MISTAKE. (
Facts have come to light -since the
first report of the ' Custer fight ', which
puts an entire new face on' the whole
matter. A telegram ot-, tlie 12th inst.
says : Tlie newspaper charge against
Major Reno, of disobedience of orders
in Custer!s fatal campaign, is received
with a great deal of discredit, Ilia
friends claim that an investigation will
relieve him completely. Tlie later calm
review of Custer's conduct assumes that
he went into the fight in advance of the
time, for stme reason not staled. It is
supposed he moved so much moro rap
idly than agreed, because, when he
struck the Indian trail, he believed,
from reasoable evidence and informa
tion known to have reached him several
times, that the Indians were in flight.
Terry and Custer both ' fu'ly supposed
the other branches of the force sufficient
to drive away any Indians likely to be
found, but did not know - that nearly
1,200 Arrapahoes and Cheyiumcs had
reinforced Sitting Bull. Not knowing
this he rushed to the attack, when bis
men were exhausted by long and rapid
marches, supposing that if he v waited
they woifld go. beyond reach. Clearly,
neither Cirster nor Terry can safely be
adjudged rash or inefficent. . x '
The St. Louis Convention not only
adopted a doub'e-faced platform, but
placed upon it a;; double-faced ticket.
Tilden and professions of hard money
and reform are expected to carry New
York and Connecticut ; repudiation and
Hendricks are expected to carry Indi
ana, and thus divide the October States.
This was a "good sclieme" & looked at
by the extremely "honest" delegates
who concocted it, but the people, who
are expected to carry it ortc, look upon
it as a good deal thinner than the Gree
ley liionstrocity.
