In the western part of tho State of Io wa thcro is a ridgo of sharp bluffs, which for somo distance flanks tho Missouri Kivcr. It was hero tho Indians met in treaty several years ago, and from the fact a city has takeu'its name -Council Klufls. Among tho early settlers of this sec tion of the country thero was a family by tho name of Denver, consisting of o lath, er and mother, one son and two daughter", the eldest of whom was some sixteen years tf age. 8 lib was a lovely young creature lovely in her in note iH good, ncss, nud she wan beloved by a young man named 'Edwin Hobart." Hohart had formed his attachment for this young crcatnro while she yet resided in the East; and when, her father re moved in tho West, tho young man fol lowed. Hut he had never been an espe cial favorite of the father, and he now ap peared to be less no than ever. , Mary Denver had formerly received he address of tho young man with some degree of favor, but she n.iw the dislike her father cntt'rtaii'od toward the young man, and nlihoughshc could not give any reaon fur it, he felt that it could not be without foundation. So ho frankly in formed Hubart that he mut ceo to ad druns her until her father should feeldif ferently in tho matter. To this Ilabnrt replied: " .lary, I have loved you long and tenderly even from my earliest recollec tion. I have left toy homo to follow you, I have carefully examined every act ot my lift, and I cannot find an intentional dihonet one. I believe your , father's dislike to myself to be entirely without foundation. Hut you know yonr own feelings. If you will love me and con rent to be mine, your father will soon learn that he has hated without a cause. IT you reject me, you will iend me upon tho world with a frozen heart; and God only knowp, in my impulsiveness, what I might do, or what would bcomc of roe." This sounds something like a threat," returned the girl proudly, and she turnfd away. Two nights after tho conversation tho alarm of India in was given '-Mothers sprang from their couches and clasped their little ones to their boku)s iu terror. Strong men scited their weapon, and prepared to defend their homes to the iat. Ono dwelling was already in flame. A few shots had been heard, a shriek had arisen upon the still night air, and then all was still save the crackling fire. No other houso was molested, and the savage appeared to have withdrawn. In a short time the daylight dawned. ncd the neighbors began to assemble around tho destroyed home, which proved to be that belonging to Mr. Denver and hii! family. A oarclt for tho tnmatcs wa at onto instituted. Tho mother was found hor ribly mutilated and scalped. The son had died nobly fighting, as his wounds attested, and the youngest daughter was mangled in an equally horrible manner. A still further tearch resulted in the discovery of Mr. Dcuver. lie had been calped, but was still alive, and had crawled into a ditch fur concealment ; but ho was" insensible. All search for Mary was in vain she wan nowhere to be found. Among thiwo present was a young man who appeared to bo deeply affected by thi terrible deed, and even wept. But drying his tears, he exclaimed : 1 I tnust leave tears for women. Men must think of revenge. Wlwre is Ed mund Hobart V Ho does'not appear to bo here." ' "Not here 1 He must bo found at once, lie is a young man, like myself, and mu3t become one of the leaders in this matter. , It shall bo followed up to tho bitter end." Hobart Was nowhere to be found ; and Charles Barry, the weeping man, appear ed somewhat uneasy. Then ho hinted his suspicions, and at last declared open ly that if Hobart did not soon return he should believe that the deed was commit ted under his direction, by savages whom he had employed. Allusion was then mado-io the rejection of Hobart by Mary, and ho was understood to have made a terrible threat at tho time. f Mr. Denver Was now able to speak a few words. Ho told them that savages had done tho work, but that ho believed th;m to bo headed by a white man in dis- j gUIHJ. , , , v ;..:;::;v. , ', - .. u , - (ould that white man have been Jud- win Hobart asked Barry. ' j 5 Mr. Denver remained silent for a time,! It appeared to be a difficult question to answer.i .But ho finally raid : I It Hobart had any motive tor doing this, and I could believe him eapablo of Committing so'terriblo a deed,' I might fix the 1 guilt; upon him; for certain it is that the white man is about tho slzo' of Hobart, and his mevements were much the, Batuo. ' s ..'' ? lie is tho guilty one,''; said Barry, ''and, by, Heavens, he shall suffer I ,?.ril hunt him ib the end of the earth but I will find him and bring him back." ,, - The day passed, and the excitement in creased in the little settlement' Hobart was still absent ;s Scouts had 7 been sent ot, however, in search of him ; and just as night wa coming on ho was brought back. : : : , ;' ; - h::i-Ab i;By this Uirae tho -excitement -had reached such a high pitch that the infu riated people could scarcely be restrained from rushing upon him and tearing him to'pieccsA - But Barry assumed the com mand, and declared that everything must be done in order.' ' : f: , firU ? Tho; trial was a brief, one. ' Hobart could explain his absence int no other way than by (declaring he haa merely; been away lob a. hunt. This .was unsatisfac tory. ""v'r.- - ' - - - ; " i-v . -;r -- '.: Just before the decision was given, an Indian carba forward, and offered to give in his testimony. Ho was permitted to do so, and ho declared that Hobart had tried to hire him aomo -days before, to engage in that work, but that ho had de clined. . ' ' t . , . .. , ,';i , ,, ' This was enough. The Indian was a drunken, worthless fellow, but his words were believed more especially as tho ac cused had been recently seen in earnest conversation with him. Hobart was Con demned to bo hung at midnight. v , Two hours wcro to elapse before the execution was to tako place ; during this time preparations for it roust bo made. Barry had resolved that it should be a grand affair. An example roust be road o of Hobart for the benefit of all such as should bo inclined to do wrong in tho fu ture. , . ' v .--' . I : ; The preparations were complete nthalf past eleven. A gallows had been rccted upon an open field. Around this, -on every side, was heaped up quantities of brushwood, forming circle. These we ro to la lighttKl otwl the ! prisoner then marched to his doom. . . There was no place where Hobart could be imprisoned with rafcty, and so he was firmly bontid with ropes and placed pros trate upon tho ground. In addition to this, heavy chains wers placed upon him, and forked limbs cut from trees, the prongs sharpened, and driven down into the earth over his limbs. In this painful position the poor; accused was kept for two haurp, unable to move, his face &nd form flat upon the frtsty earth,' Tho citizens surrounded him, heaping their curses upon him, while some could not even refrain from inflicting blows upon him, though they felt sore that he would pay the penalty of his crimes with his life. . . . Everything in readiness, Hobart was taken to the fatal spot. Tho chains clanked fearfully at evcrv tep, and he staggered under their weight, but Ids bearing was that of a man resolved to suffer bravely, although in silence. - The fatal ncKwo was placed around his neck, and theo the fires were lighted. The flames shot up, throwing their red glare al. around. And the rccne was a sickly one. , The doomed man stood erect. His eyes hone like stars as he gazed upon the burn ing masses near him and the crowd of angry citizens. His face was very pale, and wore a deathly hue in the light of tho blazing log; but there were no marks of fear upon it. Have you anything to say before you die ?" asked Barry. Duly this," replied the doomed man, firmly. "If you ever gee 3Iary alive, tell her that I loved her to the hit, and that I am innocent of this crime." ,r, " Up with the wretch !" cried Barry. " Stay! Let the white-man live!" ex claimed a commanding voice, and a huge Indian Chief leaped within the circle. " What wants the Chief ?" asked Bar ry, evincing some fear. To speak with your people for a mo ment." - - - Then turning to them he continued : " You arc children. Tho guilty die not I ke that man. You should know this." - . " Is he not guilty V asked a hundred voices. - i "No." "Who Is the guilty one." i " Listen, for the Chief speaks truly. A dog of the palo face came to my war riors. He gavo them ffiro water and made them mad. Then ho bribed them to do that deed of blood, and led them on. He told them - that they fehould kill all in that wigwam but the palo maiden. She had refused to become his fquaw j but ho would take her to' the mountains ond make her his slave." s " Where i- tho pale maiden ?" cried several voices., ; . ? V " I have brought her back. I cannot givo you back your murdered ones, but I will give you the dead bodies of those who murdered them, for I have slain ' the breakers of our treaty !" ! a; . '? Mary now entered tho -circlo, and was received with the warmest greetings. But the men asked : , 1 Hate you killed tho white man with other murderers?" ; the - "There is the pale faced dog." : Tho Chief pointed to Barry, who at tempted to. escape, but was ! securedand in ten minutes was hanging in the place he had prepared for Hobart. ' The blow was a severe one tor ;au.-r Poor Hobart suffered an age of agony in tho few short hours of that night, and he could not readily recover from the shock. His heart had bced froze ; but Mary, as his wife, warmed it into life again, y t -:V. " Napoleon's . Heart.

Nam net Grant. iTho people of the United States were disposed to accord to General Grant all tho honor, glory and renown claimed for him by his roost ardent admirers, simply bccau.6 ho was the General of the Union forces in the late war'. ! Had ho been con tent to confine himself to the discharge of the duties of his office, tho achievements in war mado by tho force of overwhelm-, ing numbers of bravo troops and f inex haustiblo resources otherwise, might have continued to be ascribed to his superior military abilities, and he might have lived an honored, military chieftain and left behind him a reputation of being one of the first military heroes of his age and country j ' but now, he having suffered himself, to be bribed by tho blandish ments and promises of political hucksters, and having entered into tho arena of pol itics, and stooped to tho most despisablc means to satisfy the extreme and lawless wing of a radical, sectional and lawless party; tliat he is in harmony with nigger suffrage, high taxation for the masses and exemption for the rich, for subversion of the Constitution, and for military dicta torship, and tho utter enslavement ot ten millions of white citizens, in order to sc curo the votes of 000,000 niggets, the people aro beginning' to inquire into his public and private history, and he must now pass the ordeal of public scrutiny ; he must now stand or fall upon his own merits ; , his military genius mut be measured by the truth of history. If the history of his military operations shall es tablish, the fact that be is a gnat mili tarp hero of superior abilities, we would not pluck a single flower from the wreath with which the Radicals are seeking to docrate his, brow. No one claims any thing' for him on tho score of statesman ship, private worth, moral and social qualities or relations. In these respects perhaps he does xot come up to the Editor of the Enterprise. Hi3 great exploits as the General of the army is urged in his behalf as his qualifications for the Presidency. But let the truth of his history speak, and then judge vc of ins merits as a minurvcincitain. At the terrible and bloody battle of Pittsburg Landing he was moat shamefully whipped, and but for tho timely arrival of General Buel he would have been entirely routed and driven into the river. In his march to Richmond, he had more men slaught ered : than the estimate number of Lee's array. So frightful was the havoc and slaughter that tho dead bodies of 15,000 of his men laid for six weeks upon the battlefield of the Wilderness, food for the birds of prey. Great generalship docs not consist in rashly, foolishly rush- tug into the jaws ot death. ; Beginning with Lee's surrender, the entire rebel force surrendered to the Un ion arms was 174,223 men.' (See report secretary.) At the close of the ar the number of Federal soldiers in the service was 1,100,000 1,100,000 having already been mustered out of the service. (Same report.) Where was the great military skill dis played in the General of the army in clos ing the war? Did it consist in forcing the surrender of 174,223 men to his ar mies containing 1,100,000 men ? , General Grant, in person, received the surrender of General Lee'ii army, 27,805 men. (Secretary '' of War's report.) There were 253,200 men mustered out of the service of the United States at Wash ington, up to July Gth; 18G5.
