THE WAX.
West Point, Ga., Oct. 22,1876.
Editor of Times
CALL BACK
fifteen years ago, when patriotism
fired the hearts of ail who love their
State and section. A long series of
insults had been heaped high upon
the heads of the unoffending South.
The old constitution of freedom and
liberty had been torn asunder, and
the noble men of the South, fired
with the zeal of their forefathers of
1776, opened another rebellion to op
pression. At the first smell of blood,
the West Point Guards fell into lino,
commanded by the brave Mathews.
On the 2d day of April, 1861, the pride
company of the village, composed of
as bravo and chivalrous men us ever
battled in defence of expiring liberty,
mustered in our streets and down to
the depot, to the air of The Bonnie
Blue FUig, prior to embarking on the
train which was to bear them to Nor
folk, Va.
“That was not only the most mem
orable but the saddest day ever seen
in the city of West Poiut—the day
when these dear boys, the flower of
the land, parted with weeping moth
ers, sisters, and everything dear, and
in obedience to what was deemed a
sacred behest, tore loose from the
embrace of the dearest earthly ties
and went forth at the first, call of
their country, laden with benedic
tions and prayers, many of them nev
er to return again.
“West Point furnished other young
men in the other companies formed
around here, both in Alabama and
Georgia, during all the war, who
upon a hundred battle fields illus
trated the chivalrie spirit and undy
ing courage of her noble people.
Troup county furnished to the Con
federate Government in our late war
nearly 2,000 soldiers, of which num
ber over 200 were killed in battle or
died of wounds and diseases, and of
the others surviving, there are many
disabled for life or broken down with
disease. Of this 2,000 West Poiut fur
nished nearly 300.
“In that great conflict of arms,
these men were ever found in the
fiercest of the light, and thickest of
the fray, with their broad swords
dyed in the blood of their foes, or
glittering and gleaming in the sun
light of victory. They went not
forth as the quarry-slave scourged
to his dungeon, but like heroes in
the strife, before whom the courage
of the brave detenders of the bloody
Thermopylae and the gallant, Leoni
das fall almost into insignificance.
Some of them still survive to rejoice
and bless mankind, while others
obeying the summons “have crossed
over the river and now restunder the
shade of the trees.” They went
down to death as martyrs in a con
flict which lost to the South the di
vine right of self-government—in a
conflict which lost all but Southern
honor, manhood and courage. Some
of them fell ia the shock of battle,
repelling the fierce attack, or bear
ing the flag of their country and lead
ing the gallant charge; some of them
are asleep in tho great cemetery,
Bomein lone and unknown graves,
with no fresh hillocks or carved
headstones to mark their last rest
ing-places. Over their remains is
reared no costly mausoleum, but af
ter the fitful fever and storm of bat
tle is over, they sleep well—per
chance in their soldier blankets
awaiting the angels and the morning
of the resurrection. Then let us who
survive these noble heroes, these
brave defenders of our Southern
cross, recount their deeds of chivalry,
embalm their names in songs, plant
the tree of liberty over their graves,
and water it with our tears.
“It was reserved for West Point to
be the last grand theatre of our
bloody revolution. The last fight of
that revolution was fought upon
her heights: the last blood that was
shed and the last hero that fell, was
upon her sacred soil. On the 16th of
April 1865, Col. LeGrand, with about
3,000 dismounted cavalry charged into
the city. A portion of Major Allen’s
battery which was then on duty here,
together with some crippled soldiers
and hospital rats, amounting in all
to 113 men. took position in the fort,
known as Fort Tyler. These troops
were reinforced by a small de
tachment of soldiers, thirteen in num
ber, under Col. J. H. Fannin of Troup
■county. Gen. Tyler, the command
ant of this post, a brave and gallant
officer, took command of the forces
in the fort. The first attack of the
Federals on the fort was at eleven
■o’clock, when a furious charge was
made,
“It is useless to attempt a descrip
tion of the fort. By nature it is a
formidable position. The fight was
furious and protracted; the brave
■Confederates stood to their guns and
with volley upon volley poured shot
and shell into the Federal lines. Gen.
Tyler fell. Gonzales, his aid-de
camp, also fell, and it was not till six
o’clock that day, arter repeated
charges, and the Confederates had
exhausted their ammunition, the
Federals with their massive columns
were able to carry the rebel heights.
It was a fruitless victory dearly
bought, which was evidenced by the
Federal dead and wounded: and be
sides it was foughtafter the Confeder
ate forces had, rbelieve, surrendered.
Gen. Tyler, who fell here, now rests in
Hopewell cemetery, and who was,
I believe, a lineal descendant of John
Tyler, and was a citizen of Memphis,
Tenn. As an officer he was consid
ered very strict, and hence to some,
especially civilians, was objectiona
ble; but as a brave and gallant light
er, lie was considered tho bravest of
the brave. Gen. LaGrnnge was ns
magnanimous us could be expected,
representing that brunch of the ser
vice ho did; but tho amount of pro
perty which lie destroyed, which we
nave already noted, was in one sense
stupendous. We are prepared, how
ever, to shako hands with him over
the bloody chasm, and to pray God
that this government and its institu
tions may prosper and survive all
civil revolutions, and that our land
may never more bo drenched in civil
blood, and our children never be call
ed to go forth into the field to defend
their homes and firesides, to perpet
uate their liberties or independence.
“In this fight the Confederates lost
eight killed and tho Federals, it is
supposed, about sixty. It is a fact
worthy of note that after Gen. Tyler
was killed, Col. Fannin took com
mand, and though his force was small
and his surrender was often demand
ed, he refused, and fought till the
Federals entered tho fort and cut
down his flags. This euded tho
drama, and the curtain fell upon the
last bloody fight of our revolution.”
Standing to-day on tho last battle
ground fought by brothers iu the
struggle from ’6l to ’65, we wonder,
why all tho bloodshed of these four
years ? what has been accomplished ?
is the Union cemented ? is the Union
whole ? or are we a conquered people,
working under and paying taxes to a
general government, without repre
sentation, except under the rule of
the army ? When shall this glorious
old government know no East, no
West, no North, and no South ? Shall
it be under Radical rule? We fear
not. “B”’
GRANT’** PROCLAMATION.
•Judtfi* 11 lurk. Pronounces It the Most
I.nvtle** Outrage on Record.
Washington Special to the New York Sun.j
Some of the newspapers of this
morning contained a statement that
an informal meeting of Democrats
was held last night at tho Ebbitt
House, Judge Black, of Pennsyl
vania, being the principal speaker;
that the President’s South Carolina
proclamation was discussed and the
conclusion reached that Gen. Hamp
ton ought to retire from the contest
for Governor, let Grant curry the
State for Hayes and get the Presi
dential vote thrown out by the House
of Representatives, and that it was
determined to telegraph Gen. Hamp
ton to that effect. This paragraph
produced much talk and some ex
citement. I called on Judge Black
to night to ascertain what truth, if
anv, there was in it. He answered
with au emphatic denial of the whole
story. There was no meeting of any
kind, formal or informal. He had
expressed no opinion of that
kind. He did not believe that Gen.
Hampton ought to withdraw, and no
matter what he fJudge Black) might
think, he would not thrust his advice
on Gen. Hampton nor join with others
in offering him any counsel whatever
in the canvass. "That gentleman,”
said lie, “is as’thoroughly qualified as
any man in America to decide what
should be done in tho emergency
which he is called to meet. His blood
and judgment are so well commin
gled that his determinations aro sure
lo be right and his acts efficient. I
think lie will beat Grant, Patterson,
Chamberlain and all the carpet-bag
thieves that back them.”
Reporter—What do you thiuk of
Gen. Grant’s conduct in this bus
iness?
Judge B.—lt is the most lawless
outrage on record. It is forbidden by
the express words of tho Constitu
tion, and by its wholo spirit. Even
if it were the exercise of legal pow
er, it is a cruelty so base that no civ
ilized despot would bo guilty of it.
Keporter- But is there no defence
or excuse for it?
Judge B.—None whatever. Ignor
ance would be do excuse. But the
parties engaged in pushing this af
fair on are not ignorant of the law.
Some persons who justified the
crimes of the Administration in
Louisiana might possibly believe this
also to be right. Sheridan, for in
stance, may be stupid enough to
thiuk anything is lawful which
promises a chance of shedding the
blood of Democrats. Mr. Stough
ton, of New York, will prob
ably attempt to vindicate it. He is a
good patent lawyer and a very honest
man, but he knows nothing of the
Constitution except that it puts for
eign missionsjin the gift of the jPres
ident. John Patterson knows it is all
wrong; so does Cameron; so does
Grant. They laugh in their sleeves
at the flatterers who tell them they
can legally use the military force of
the Union, or the militia of other
States, for the purpose of controlling
elections in South Curofioa. They
know also, as a matter of fact, that
there is no disturbance there, and
will be none except what they make
themselves.
Counting; the Presidential Vote.
Cincinnati Gazette Special.)
Washington, Oct. l9.~The ques
tion of the existence of any joint
rules between the two Houses has,
however, been carefully examined
and settled to-day. The Journal of
the Senate shows the following to be
the situation of the rules: Just before
the close of the session, the House
sent to the Senate the usual resolu
tions, rescinding those joint rules
which prevent the consummation of
the legislation on the last day, a few
hours before adjournment, Mr.
Edmunds calied the matter up and
said: , .
On that subject, I offer the follow
ing resolution :
“Resolved, that the resolution of
the House of Representatives, presen
ted this day, in the folilowing words;
“Resolved by the House of Represen
tatives, the Senate concurring. That
the sixteenth and seventeenth joint
rules be suspended for the remainder
of the session,” be respectfully re
turned to the House of Representa
tives, with the statement that the
House of Representatives has not no
tified the Senate of the adoption of
the joint rules for this present ses
sion, as proposed by the resolution
of the Senate on the twentieth day of
January last, and transmitted to the
House of Representatives on the 22d
of the same month.
There are no joint rules in force.

Trade and Manufacture* Abroad
: From the N. V. Bulletin, 31.]
We have our English files to tho
|7thinst. At that time tho various
(marketswere exempt from the ox
citing influences which have since
been brought to bear upon them as
; regards the now impending conflict
|in tiie East, and tho status a fort
night ago t herefore may have been
very different from what it is at this
moment. Then, the feeling on the
whole, as regards tho great manu
facturing interests, was rather cheer
ful than otherwise. Manchester
was gladdened with a sudden acces
sion of ordors from China, owing to
improved quotations by wire, and
probably, too, iu some measure, to
au anticipation of fresh trade with
the new ports about to be opened.
This revival of Cldueso trade, iu fact,
appears to have beeu tho loading fea
ture of tho market for several days.
It was not generally looked for so
lute in the season, and it is attribu
ted, among other reasons, to the re
turning ease of tho money market,
produced by largo arrivals of silver,
and so apparent in tho recent heavy
fall of the exchange. A large trade
was also doing on Japan account.
Trade with the Levant was sluggish,
as might be expected under the un
certain aspect of the diplomatic sit
uation. As to business with the
United States, the Manchester Ex
aminer reasons in this way :
"Hope lias been growing lately
that the improvement of trade in
America—about which there can no
longer be any doubt—may soon bene
fit ourselves. Already the export of
goods hither has been checked ; the
next step would be a check of exports
to neutrul markets where wo have
lately lost ground, such as Canada,
the West Indies and China; and we
may hope ere long to be called upon
to resume our once important ship
ments to the United States upon a
scale somewhat resembling that of
past years. But such hopes presup
pose a further improvement in the
American home trade.”
The manufacturers in tho heavy
woolens districts were still busy, the
improvement previously noted being
well maintained. Tho Belfast linen
trade was exhibiting an improved
tone. Home buyers were giving out
their orders with rather more free
dom, but it was extremely difficult to
get au advance on old prices, except
in a few special lines. On export ac
count the demand was very quiet,
but some American orders were
coming forward. A change for the
better is reported in Sheffield trades,
especially in orders from the United
States. Orders for railway materiul
were a little more numerous, but
they had to bo taken at low rates.
The hardware trade generally was
brisker. The armor-plate and loll
ing mills are fairly employed, and
ongiueeriug houses had not much
reason to complain. As regards the
iron trade, wo notice but few
changes worth recording. From
Cardiff the report is’ that
shipments are few and far between,
and the demand for rails, had as it
has been lately, seems positively de
clining. A fair amount of business,
however, was doing with India and
South Russia, but trade with the
Baltic ports seems to have about
ended for this season. Tho South
American demand is small, but
steady. Throughout the North of
England, the rail market was very
dull, and tho leading rail makers
do not discover any material signs
of improvement at hand. The plate
makers were continuing to receive
orders, showing that there is some
improvement in 'iron ship-building,
though it is not noticeable to any ex
tent iu tho North of England ship
yards, with one or two exceptions.
Advices from France and Belgium
show but little animation in that
quarter. Iron for building purposes
is alone sustained in Belgium, al
most all other qualities having expe
rienced a decline duriug the last few
weeks. Plates exhibit a depression
which can only be explained with
difficulty, as Russia and Holland
continue to take large quantities of
this description of iron from Bel
gium.
UOV. CURTIN ON THIS STUMP.
VIGOROUS SUPPORT OF THE DEMOCRATIC
NOMINEES AND DEMOCRATIC
POLICY.
Special Dispatch to New York World.|
Bellefonte, Pa., October 19. —The
largest and most enthusiastic Demo
cratic meeting held in this town since
the reception of Gov. Curtin upon his
return from Russia occurred here to
night. The large and commodious
court-room was crowded almost to
suffocation. Hundreds could not find
standing room inside the building.
Upon the appearance of Gov. Curtin
iu tho hall ho was received with over
whelming enthusiasm by his old
friends and neighbors.
Governor Curtin, in his address,
spoke kindly of all the Presidential
candidates personally, Tilden, Hayes,
Cooper and Green Clay Smith. He
asserted his belief that each was hon
est, conscientious and patriotic. He
endorsed the saying of Morton that
the Administration of no President
could differ materially from the poli
cy of the leaders of the party which
elected him. He then reviewed tho
administration of President Grant,
and gave a summary of the abuses
and corruptions which existed, and
which compelled even the Republi
can party itself to cry aloud for re
form. He alluded to the present con
dition of the South, and contrasted
the peace and prosperity of the South
ern States which have been under
Conservative rule with the turbu
lence and violence existing in the
few States South where carpet-bag
gers still have power. He then dis
posed of the allegation that the elec
tion of Tilden would result in the
payment of the rebel war debt or
rebel claims of any kind, and with
severe and pointed irony disposed of
the “bloody shirt.”
His speech was frequently inter
rupted by the wildest applause and
cannot fail to have a powerful influ
ence in this section. Old Centre, tin
der the lead of Curtin, is good for
1,000 majority.
Defaulted and Absconded.
New York, Oct. 24.—Th03. Ellis,
paying teller of the National Park
Bank, is a defaulter in $36,000. It is
supposed he stuffed a package of
SSOO and thousand dollar notes in his
pocket. He has been absent since
Saturday. Five thousand dollars re
ward offered. He was 18 years with
the bank.
AKrlcultual Prospect* In iicorntla.
The Augusta Chronicle thinks the
planter will find reductions in every
article which he purchases this win
ter. Instead of getting ssventy-five
dollars per bale for his cotton, he will
only got forty-five dollars, but the
purchasing power of forty-five dol
lars now is about equal to tho pur
chasing power of sovouty-ilve dollars
four years ago. Consequently, if tho
system of farming had not changed
at all since 1872, the planter would be
as well off now us he was thou, de
spite the panic, the suspension of the
mills and the stagnation of trade gen
erally. But fortunately, for him, and
fortunately for the country as well,
the system of farming has changed.
Iu 1872 the planter bought
everything—corn, hay, oats, baoon,
tiour, meal, dry goods, iron, butter,
eggs, and what not. Ho raised cotton
uud cotton alone, und annually ex
changed his entire crop for the
means of subsistence, and annually
went in debt to the factor and com
mission merchant besides. Every
thing was bought on time, aud plan
ters paid rates of interest that were
simply enormous. Corn which cost
the cash purchaser 90c. per bushel,
cost tho unfortunate planter $1 20 or
$1 30, when he came to pay for it in
the fall. Roof bacon and everything
else also, which his necessities or his
improvidence compelled him to pur
chase.
But tho planter was at last made
to change this suicidal policy. Year
after year brought him deeper into
debt, until at last the factors and
commission merchants were unable
to make any advance, and he was
thrown upon his own resourcos. The
result is that this year ho will, to a
great extent, buy only those things
which he cannot make; and, having
tho money to pay for thorn, ho will
get tho benefit of cash prices. For
instance, a great deal of grain was
sown this year, and the crops usually
have been from fair to fine. It is
safe to say that seven-tenths of tho
planters of Georgia, and South Car
olina have raised corn enough to last
thorn all of next year—many of them
will have a surplus for sale. Wheat
enough has been harvested by most
of them to furnish thorn with
all tho flour thoy need for family
consumption. They have enough of
fodder, oats and hay to supply them
with long forage for their stock; they
will not, have to buy any corn-meal
for their hands; many of them will
gather abundant crops of peas and
potatoes, aud some of them will
make all the molasses they require.
They have not yet rendered them
selves independent of tho smoke
houses in Ohio and Illinois, but the
day of redemption has only been
postponed. It is coming slowly, but
none the less surely. The stock of
hogs on the plantation has largely
increased, and purchases of bacon
will bo curtailed to a considera
ble extent. Somo planters in every
county will make enough bacon to
supply their places, but these furnish
the exception, we are sorry to say,
and not the rule. Every one can see
that the planters, this year, are com
parative by independent, and that the
cotton which they raise is to a great
extent, a surplus crop. The country
is to be congratulated on this condi
tion of affairs. When agriculture
prospers, every other interest
flourishes; when agriculture suffers,
every other interest is injured.—
Georgia Grange.
Counting the Electoral Vote.
Boston Journal, Rep.
We presume that the fact stated by our
Washington correspondent, namely, that the
famous twenty-second joint rule is no longer
in force, will be new to most of our readers
This is the rule which Senator Morton char
acterized as a dangerous torpedo planted in
the path of the Government. It provided
that, during the process of counting the vote
for President and Vice President before the
two Houses of Congress, if the reception of
the vote of any State should be objected to
on the part of either House, the vote of such
State should be thrown out. As the Senate
is now Republicau and the House Demo
cratic, and the next Presidential election
may be very close, dependent possibly upon
the vote of one or two States, such a rule, it
will be seen, might become a powerful lever,
not only fpr controling the decision, but for
plunging the country into trouble. If South-
Carolina, for instance, should be carried for
Tilden, the proofs of intimidation might be
so undoubted that the Senate might be com
pelled to object to the counting of the vote.
On the other hand, if the State went Repub
lican, the Democratic House might object to
the vote, and all the more readily that if by
any means the election of President by the
people could be defeated, the choice would
be thrown into the House, which, of course,
would proceed to elect Tilden.
It seems, however, that the joint rules of
previous Congresses were not adopted at the
last session by the present Congress, so that
this twenty-second rule, which has been the
subject of so much discussion and so many
proposed amendments, is now null and void.
The whole process of dealing with the elec
toral votes at the next session will be under
the brief and much disputed provisions of
the Constitution, which merely says; “The
President of the Senate shall, in presence of
the Senate and House of Representatives,
open all certificates; and the vote shall then
be counted; the person having the greatest
number of votes ’’ etc. The chief question
is, what is meant by ‘counted?’ Does it
mean the mere enumeration of the certified
votes without regard to genuineness; ormust
the legality of the vote be taken into con
sideration, and only such as are found to be
genuine and free from fraud “counted?”
again, who is to do the counting? The Pres
ident of the Senate is to open the certificates,
but the language as to whom the counting
is to he done by is left indefinite.
This is one of the parts of the Constitu
tion which were left incomplete, and which
ought to have been amended before this. It
is to be hoped that all the questions and
dread contingencies to which this matter
might give rise, may not be opened at the
next session of Congress.

Pesth, Oct. *24.—The Russians be
lieve that if the Turks take Krushe

London, Oct. 24.—A Reuter dis
patch from Constantinople says it is
stated Russia has already indicated
her willingness to agree to a six
weeks prolongation, if neeessarry, of
a six weeks armistice. It is hoped
an agreement will be reached on the
basis of Turkey’s acceptance of such
an armistice as announced in’a semi
official statement in this morning’s
Post.
London, Oct. 24.— A speciul from
Pesth to the Neics represents that
there is intense excitement there
and strong hostility to Russia. In
case Russia commences war, itgwill
be difficult for Austria to preserve
neutrality.
London, Oct. 24.—A dispatch to tho
Times from Theropa announces that
Mr. BauiDg, Secretary of the British
legation, is about to return from
Phillppepellis, being convinced that
a commission for tho punishment of
tho perpetrators of the Bulgarian
atrocities is a delusion and mockery.
The most criminal are regarded hu
mane, and the moderate are iu dis
grace. The old panic is renewed,
aud a most trustworthy gentleman
is traveling with the utmost haste
to Constantinople to inform tho
British Ambassador that the Turks
threaten new massacres, and have
even appointed a day for the begin
ning of the slaughter.
A Vienna dispatch to tho Times
says not only from Constantinople,
but from all the provinces of Europe
an Turkey, is there news of growing
excitement, arming the Montene
grins, of conventicles held in mosques
and of armament.
The ministry is divided against it
self, and the Sultan ia too inexperi
enced to take tho leadership of af
fairs. Thus the position is most fa
vorable for Russia’s diplomatic ac
tion. Gen, Ignatiff, the Russiam am
bassador to Constantinople, may car
ry everything before him, or if he fails
may induce such an outbreak of Ma
homedan feeling as might justify
almost any step on the part of Rus
sia.
London, Oct. 24.—A Reuter dis
patch from Bucharest says intelli
gence has been received there that
at a meeting of foreign ambassadors
at Constantinople, Gen. Ignatieff de
clared that an armistice must be con
ceded immediately, and that other
Russian demands would devolve for
settlement upon a conference of the
Powers, at which Turkey would not
be represented—conference to define
meaning of the words, “autonomy,

defined.]
London, October 24.—A dispatch
from Belgrade to Reuter’s, dated 12

BED CLOUD DEPOSED AND SPOTTED TAIL
MADE CHIEF.
Cheyenne, October 24.—Gen. Crook,
being satisfied that Red Cloud’s and
Bed Leaf’s bands of Sioux were
about to depart with a view of join
ing the hostiles in tho north ("thoy
having refused to comply with orders
to como into tho Agency and receive
rations, and stubbornly remaining in
camp on Shadron creek, from whence
it is positively known they were in
communication with the northern
Indians aud receiving into their
camp such as came in), he, without
waiting forj Gen. Merritt’s troops,
determined upon disarming them,
and at daylight on the morning of
the 23d inst., Gen McKenzie, with
eight companies of the fourth caval
ry, one battalion of which was com
manded by Major Gordon, and an*
other by Capt. Manek, successfully
surrounded these two bands, con
sisting of three hundred lodges, and
captured the bucks, squaws and po
nied, without firing a shot and march
ed them into the agency.
After having been disarmed and
dismounted, Spotted Tail, who has
evinced unwavering loyalty to the
whites, was made head chief, and
Red Cloud deposed.
Spotted Tail and Little Mound
have promised to furnish Gen. Crcok
with all the warriors he may need to
co-operate with him in the coming
campaign, which will be inaugurated
at once.
Gen. Crook feels that a groat ob
ject has been attained in this last
movement, aud that we shall now
know our enemies from our friends.
Washington, Oct. 24.—Gen. Sheri
dan forwards to Gen. Sherman a dis
patch from Gen. Crook, confirming
the Cheyenne dispatoh in all its de
tails. Crook’s dispatch concludes:
"I feel that this is the first gleam of
daylight wo have had in this busi
ness.”
It is stated at headquarters that
the plan of discovering and dis
mounting tho Indians be followed at
other agencies.
lmllnn It aids Continued.
Cheyenne, W. TANARUS„ Oct. 22.— Advices
from Red Cloud Agency, of the 18th,
are as follows: Immediately after the
commissioners left the agency recent
ly, tue Indians moved and camped
about, twenty-five miles away, send
ing in only squaws and a few bucks
on issue day to draw rations. They
were so far away that no information
could be had as to their movements
or doings, and doubtless many of
them were off on a raiding and plun
dering expedition. Word was sent to
them by Capt. Smith, the acting
United States agent, to come into the
agenev. To this they paid no atten
tion. 'Meanwhile General Crook and
several of his staff arrived there, and
word was immediately sent to these
Indians that no more rations would
be issued until they came into the
agency, where they belonged, and re
mained Yesterday was issue day
and very few Indians were present.
Red Cloud was present, but none of
his band, and he refused to receive
rations. The ultimatum will not be
receded from in the smallest degree,
and unless it is complied with trou
ble is anticipated. Lieutenant Chase,
with one hundred cavalry, left Fort
Russell yesterday to intercept raid
ing parties operating in the vicinity
of the Chug.
Cheyenne, Oct. 22.— The telegraph
line to Fort Fetterman, which has
been down since the 16th inst.,
proves to have been interrupted by
Indians. Communication was re
established with that point to-day.
On the 13th instant a government
supply train was attacked by the In
dians between Forts Fetterman and
Laramie. G. M. Coleman, wagon
master, was seriously wounded in
the ankle, and several horses were
killed. Four Indians are reported
to have been killed or wounded. A
trail has been discovered showing
that cattle recently crossed the
Platte, fifteen miles south of Fort
Fetterman, going in a northeastern
direction. These are cattle stolen
from near Laramie Peak, and are
being driven to tho Indian villages
for winter provisions.
