[TVwdweod City Cor. of the Chicago TUneal
Deadwood Cjty, Dakota, July l7.—
There ere plenty of InJutna in this vi
cinity notwithstanding the numbers
with Sitting Bull. Their depredations
are numerous. In the lut few' days
war parties are reported to have been
seen in different directions; and anoth
er wholesale butchery took place a few
days ago on the Fort Pierre route, the
details of which may first reach you by
this letter. Out of an outgoing train of

to tell the horrible tale. The report
seems to lie well authenticated. The
train was under the leadership of Rob
ert I)nnn ( formerly of Denver, and
they were making their way to the east
by way of the Fort Pierre route. They
had got more than halt way to the Mis
souri river when the attack was made.
It is estimated that there were about
200 hedges of the Indians, or from 1,000
to 1,200 warriors. The train was com
pletely surprised, but they made as
gallant a defense as they could under
the circumstances. Exactly how the
four escaped is not clear,hut I presume,
after seeing that further resistance was
vain,

hey could get and succeeded in getting
out of reach while the red fiends were
engaged in the work of searching and
robbing the persons of the victims who
had already fallen. Having driven off
all the stock and secured all other
plunder they wanted, the Indians then
set fire to the wagons and destroyed
them. I cannot get the names of any
of the victims except that of Dunn.
The Indians were coming in from the

yield enormously, and the extent of
paying ground in Deadwood and White-
wood gulches is increasing daily. The
Rapid Creek diggings are very deep And
bed-rock is just beginning to be reach
ed in the most shallow places. When
ever reached it has been reached
through a great depth of paying graveL
and the prospects obtained on the bed
indicate very rich deposits. There is
quite a stampede now in progress over
to the Rapid. It is thought capitalists,
beginning at last to come into the
hills, will invest in these deep deposits
more readily than in the lodges or
quarts veins, as they will thus get more
immediate returns and be more certain
of realizing. Some of these deep Rapid
Creek claims, recently offered for insig
nificant sums, are now held very high.
I think the whole of Rapid Creek will
at no distant day be in the hands of
mining monopolists.
RICH SILVER ORES
have, beyond question, been found in
the Black Hills; bat 1 am unable to
write definitely in regard to the extent
of the silver deposits, not having visi
ted yet the reported place of discovery.
The ore I handled was argentiferous
galena, and it was accompanied by
ouartx rich in silver sulphates. The
deposits are 18 to 20 miles from here in
the direction of the Rapid Creek dig
gings, out some; distance from all the
traveled roads and trails. There is also
silver in the Ida Gray vein, five miles
from Deadwood City, but no regular
assay has been made of its ores for that
metal, it now l>eing valued simply for
tlie gold it contains.
There are whisperings and winkings
i all sides of new place discoveries,
and there have lately been some mid
night stampedes; but I am unable to
get any authentic facts in regard to new
discoveries. The Indian disturbances
will again throw a damper over pros
pecting enterprises.

your friends that you ao announce,” Is dn!y re

significance, and by the control of the German

Document a. and will Makes
Change fa the Campaign.
Washington, August 6.
Governor Tilden's and Governor
Hendricks’ letters of acceptance were
imperfectly transmitted by telegraph,
ana it was not until yesterday after
noon on the arrival of’ the New York
(tapers that a correct copy ot each
could be had. The protracted sessions
of the senate and bouse also prevented
senators and members from giving
them the more thorough examination
which has since been afforded. It can
now be truthfully said the more thev
are read the more they are approved.
Many of the republicans are willing to
concede that they are strong and for
midable documents and treat the is
sues of the campaign in such
earnest and vigorous way
that they ought to carry convic
tion to every voter not blindly pound
by party following. It is evident from
what little criticism is made that the
republican leaders intend to fight the
campaign without the line of adminis
trative reform, and on the policy of
hate. Both Messrs. Morton and Ed
monds plainly indicated ttiat in their
speeches yesterday, when they de
nounced the letters for omitting a spe
cific reference to the Hamburg not,
but among republicans who do not be
lieve in waving the bloody shirt ever
lastingly as an answer for the continu
ance of the present cohesion of public
plunder, the letters are a Imittea to be
a vigorous claim for public confidence.
In the language of one of them, the
democrats have selected their best and
ablest men for their standard bearers,
whose first utterances are earnest de
clarations of conviction, with a determi
nation to carry them out if they get
into power. The utter absence of any
attempt at mere professions to catch a
surface sentiment, and the sturdy
sound of a business-like tone through
out governor Tilden’s letter, are
highly commended by the thought
ful men of both parties.—
Among the democrats it is almost un-
ecesaary to say th-tt the letters are en-
thusiactically received. Senator Ker-
nan says Governor Tilden's letter will
have a great weight in the campaign,
breathing as it does the purest political
wisdom. Senator Jones, of Florida, re
gards the letter as very able on the fi
nancial and reform questions, and Sen
ator Ransom, of North Carolina,
declared, when he read it, that it con
vinced him that this man is fit to be
] (resident, and that he will be president.
Colonel Morrison ( cbairman of the ways
and means committee, looks upon it as
one of the ablest documents ever pre
sented to the (>eople. Judge Abbott, of
Massachusetts, says Governor Tilden
shows himself to be a great thinker,
and will convince the country of his
ability to fill the presidential chair in
all respects. The earnestness of the
letter, he believes, will arouse
the people, for its vigorous conclusions
are worth more than columns of prom*
ises and plans of reform. Speaker »Say-
ler pronounces it one of the most
statesmanlike documents he ever read.
Senator Gordon says it is one of the
most convincing arguments for admin
istrative reform. Senators Thurman,
Bayard and Saulsbury speak of it as an
earnesL vigorous letter which places it
in the front rank of public papers. Mr.
Whittborne, chairman of tne house
naval committee, says it has lifted the
democratic party out of its differences
on the financial question, while Mr.
Randall declares that it is the ablest
presentation of current views on that
question ever made for the country.
He warmly commends the letter for its
forcible arguments and happy illustra
tions. Senator Wallace believes that
the letter will enter into -the convic
tions of two-thirds of the people of
Pennsylvania, and give the democrats
a fair chance of carrying that state. Its
treatment of the causes of and the
remedy tor tne existing business de
pression would carry it home to the
thousands of business and laboring
)eople in bis state. While he had
>een opposed to Governor Tilden at
St. Loins, he was now thoroughly con
vinced that he was the right man in
the right place and would most assur
edly be elevated to the presidential
hair. Messrs Goode, Tucker, Doug
las and in fact all of the members of
the Virginia delegation who are here
warmlv applaud it. Senator Davis ; of
West Virginia, says it would be im
possible to improve the letter. Sena
tor Whyte, ol Maryland, says it has
made the republican senators look se
rious. Indeed,columns might be filled
with the flattering comments oi demo
crats here, but thev will find express
ion more fully and authoritatively in
discussions in’congress or in the active
work of the campaign.

all—and that Colonel Robert H. Ta
tum’s protest against the said primary
election on account of illegal votes
jm »led at Rising Fawn, be also forward
