IOditoi: Mkws: A piece of military uespotisui has been enacted at tliis u , 1 0?j u b?w days ago, which ha aroused IceiinLT oi indignation amomr the cit- , .ens ot the vicinity; and which, when , , , .., j thoroughly ventilated, will have the ef fect of inrensi lying the already existing bitter antipathy in the hears of the pplc, for the military organization, and its ncioachments upon th -ir liber tics.

J date, une However, a highly respected citizen who figures prominently among the stock-men of Grant County, bavin" some very urgent business to attend to, failed to leave the Post within the re quired time. His liberty was of short duration however, for suddenly he found himself between two s'ddiers with shouldered arms, escorting him to a solitary cell in the Guarddiouso, j where iie was confined quite a while, a,,d t!i(in "larehod at the point of the bayonet outside the limits ofthegarris- OU Tiiis too in a Post where a Public house for the accomodation of the travel ing public is allowed: where a trading post and U. S. Pot ollice exist for the benefit of the people of the neighbor hood. But what did Commanding Offi cer Sparrow care for U. S. mail or any thing else, this was a military garrison, and he was King for a day. Why he threatened to have the acting Post-mast-er confined for three weeks on bread and water, and undoubtedly would have put his threat into effect, but for the timely return of the other oificers. There can be no palliation orjexcuso jfrthc arbitrary conduct of this over- bearing and conceited nincuinpoop; it cwnot even be ured that ho might have a "little too much aboard," for he was never known to dissipate in any thing, except on rare occasions in a pint of pea-nuts and a section of ginger bread. Despotic conduct of this kind must not be tolerated, and the people must seek redress through the proper channels.
