The Montana Pos& SATURDA1Y, OCTOBER 26, 1•8:. PEN AND SCISNOIRN. Tie West. At VirginiaiNev.) Oct. 5th. a miner named Pat Price. while working in the Chollar-Potosi mine, was caved on seve- ral times and finally crushed to death. The Trepasas says: After the space ofF one hour had passed a second fall of earth buried him still deeper, when he called in heart-rending voice to his com- panions to be quick, as he was smother- ing to death ; and then all was silent ex- cept the falling earth and timbers, which suddenly gave way forty teet above in one grand crash, and sunk, with the other ground, to the level of the mine, where all that is mortal of Patrick Price now lies buried beneath thousands of tons of ore and timber, perhaps never to be exhumed. For the present, it is impossible for men to ap- proach the place of the cave, and it is expected that another huge mass of the old works will fall before morning. Price had worked in the mine for 18 months, and was a faithful, sober, hon- eat, industrious man, beloved by all his fellow miners and the foreman of the mine. He was a native of Ireland, 28 years of age, and unmarried. The Salt Lake Vedette of the 14th has the following : We have been credita- bly informed that a party of prospectors left town a day or two since for some particular section of the Sweetwater country, to the public unknown, in search of some reputedly fabulous rich gold placer diggings. As the story goes some emigrants. as early as the year '49, found nuggets of gold there as big as hen's eggs, lying around loose ; but, be- ing pressed by Indians, had to leave. Some years after, one man, or more, went out to hunt for the El Dorado, but were never heard of after-taken in and done for," probably by the noble red men. Again, in '57, another emigrant stumbles over and discovers the same 4 prospects, but, like the first discoverer, was looking out for poor "Lo" more than gold, and got out of the country as soon as possible. The present party are confident they can put their foot right i on the spot, and in that belief have started on the hiunt. t About 11 o'clock last evening, says the Virginia Enterprise of the 12th inst. a man named Thomas Coons fell from the high sidewalk on the east side of D street, near the corner of Taylor, a dis- tance of twenty feet or more, to the ground beneath. He was very drunk at the time. lie was seen to fall, and some policemen and others brought him to the station-house. lie was in an in- sensible condition from a severe con- tusion in the forehead. Dr. C. C. Green was sent for, and on examination found' the skull just over the right eye crush- ed in upon the brain, the wound being nearly two inches in length. It was probably produced by a sharp stone up- on which he fell. Several pieces of bone were removed, but the patient remained insensible and the chances of his being alive this morning were very small. He was otherwise considerably bruised. He isan Irishman, about 40 years of age, unmarried, and has latterly been work- ing on C street for the Water Company. One more good man, says the Owyhee Avalanche of Oct. 5th, has been mur . dered, scalped and burned in our midst, and the savage perpetrators escaped un- punished with some booty, such as blan- kets, pistols, etc. This fresh atrocity was committed during last Thursday" night, within half a mile of Oro and Owyhee cities, near the road leading be- tween there and here. The unfortunate victim's name is Joseph F. Colwell. He came to this Territory with Messrs. Bloom & iherd, in 186(5, from Jackson- ville. Oregon. lie was formerly from Missouri. The Salt Lake Tele•griph of Oct. 16th has the following: Mr. C. M. White tells us that lie is going to supply the Territory with all the lubricating, par- afline and kerosene oils and naptha that can be consumned by the people. yVe have s,.n tihe oil in its crud-, state in use by some of our citizens using ma- chinery. It is eleven per cent. purer than the renowned Pennsylvania oil, and is much cheaper. White has a doz- en men operating out at Bear river and is fitting up over eight thousand dollars worth of ma,-hinery to refine this oil and bring it into market. lie tells us that he will have his kerosene into the market in a few weeks. Mr. Showell is the agent in the city Mr. hoiwell is the agent in the city for the oil now ready for currier's use. The Denver Neir. of Oct. Sth says The Masonic Grand Lodge continues iz session.

Intormation as to who were the lawless perpetrators of the act can be readily obtained if the Telegraph Company desires it. The Denver Tribine of Oct. 6th says: Mr. Williams, of the firm of Williams & McDonald, received a letter yesterday morning announcing the death of Capt. John S. ('ochrane, formerly on duty in this district, and well known in Denver. lie died at St. Louis, Sept. 27th, of cholera. Lieut. G. E. Downing, also known here, while Gen. Upton was in command. died of the same disease, Sept. 25th, at the same place. The Legislature of Arizona has adopt- ed a memorial to Congress setting forth that not a road or path in the Territory was safe for travel, and that the citizens must be protected or leave the country. The Indians have entire possession of the whole Territory. Gen. Gregg says with one full regiment of cavalry he could, if left untampered with, reader every road in the Territory passable within one year. The Oregonian of October 4th says: "Lewis, with a corps qf assistants, will this morning commenee the preliminary surv.se for the purpose of locating the Sliae of the Oregao Central Railroad. The first labor of the company will be an examination of all the available lines or routes leading from the city of 'Portland to the south and southwest. r The first line examined will be that up- e on the old Canyon road from Portland . west to the Tualutin Plains." Stanley, who killed Caldwell at Truc- kee Meadows a few weeks ago, says the 'flterprtp , is still in custody. Justice e Ferguson, as we stated the other day, placed his bail at $3,000, but Judge Harris, ot Washoe, in view of develop ments at the primary examination, rais- ed the amount of bail to $10,000.

On the 19th of September last a lady, calling herself Mrs. Clark, accompanied by a colored female servant, arrived at the Union Square Hotel in this city. Her baggage consisted of two trunks, on the largest of which the name " Mrs. Lincoln, Springfi eld, Ill.," was visible, though an eftbrt had evidently been made to erase it, the letters "Incoln" be- ing quite plain, as was also the address. A white visiting card, tacked on, bore the name, " Mrs. ('lark," written in pen- cil. The other trunk had the name Those gentlemen at the hotel who had known Mrs. Lincoln when she was the first lady in Washington thought that this Mrs. ('lark was not she, although others expressed the opinion that the two were one and the same person. She went out 1but very little during her stay of exactly a week, and left on the 26th of September, promising to give direc. tions by letter subsequently as to the disposal of her trunks. Although some in the hotel were certain of the identity of Mrs. ('lark with Mrs. Lincoln, others were not, but from divers little inci- dents which occurred, they surmised that Mrs. Clark was directly connected with the Lincoln family. It very soon became known that the lady was none other than Mrs. Lincoln, who, after leav- ing the Union Hotel, absented herself from the city, but for a very short time, and on her return took rooms at the Sr. Denis Hotel, under the same name as when at the Union. Mrs. Lincoln's visit, so privately, it was ascertained, was made for the pur. Lt pose of disposingof some of her personal property, as her present income is inad- equate to her wants, she being possessed of in all but $1,701 a year, $300 of which , comes from the rent of her old house in o Springfield, the remainder being the in- 3 terest of the 25 i,000 which Congress ap- c propriated for her benefit, in place of, 8 $100.000 which her friends made an ef- e fort to obtain, but which the friends of g the dead President succeeded in defeat- ing. The lady, immediately after living in such splendid style, felt embarrassed in endeavoring to support herself and young ones on so small a pittance. She went to live at a second class hotel in Chicago, where ultimately she found herself scarcely able to pay her bi'ls. The result was her determination to part with some of her personal effects, and it was for this purpose that, accom o panied by her faithful negro servant Lizzie, the only one who left the luxuries f of the White House to follow the for- s tunes of the President's widow, she vis- 5 ited our city, and very soon entered into e negotiations with a well known broker on Broadway, to whom she had pre- viously addressed the following letter : f MIt. LINCOLN'S COIIRESI'ONDEN('E. CHICAGO, Sept. 1, 1867. inR. BRADY--A notice in a New York paper having attracted my attention. that you sold articles of value on com- mf ission, prompts me to write you. The . articles I am sending you to dispose of 1 were gifts of dear friends, which only urgent necessity compels me to part with, and I am especially anxious that they shall not be sacrificed. The circum- stances are peculiar, and painfully em- barrassing; therefore I hope you will C endeavor to realize as much as possible for them. Hoping soon to hear from you. I remain, very respectfully, yours, MRS. A. LINCOLN. CHICAGo, Sept. 1, 1867. Mr. BRADY, Commission Broker, No. 609 Broadway, New York: I have this day sent you personal pro- perty which I am compelled to part with, and which you will find of consid- erable value. The articles consist of four camels' hair shawls, lace dress and shawls, a parasol cover, a diamond ring, two dress patterns, some furs, &c., Please have them appraised and confer f by letter with me. Very respectfully, MRS. A. LINCOLN. jf• CHICAno, Sept. 2, 180l7. •W. H. BRADY, Esq: You write me that reporters are after you concerning my goods deposited with you-which, in consideration of my ur- gent wants, I assure you I am compelled to relinquish-and also that there is a fear that these newsmen will seize upcn the painful circumstances of your hav- ing these articles placed in your hands to injure the Republican party political- ly. In the cause of this party and for universal freedom my beloved husband's precious life was sacrificed, nor for the world would I do anything to injure the cause. My heart is ever anxious for its success, notwithstanding the very men for whom my noble husband did so much unhesitatingly deprived me of all g means of support and left me in a piti- t less condition. The necessities of life Sare upon me, urgent and imperative, and I am scarcely removed from wan t-so diferent from the lot my lovling ni,! de- voted husband would have ase:,ne, me -and I find myself left to struggle .for myself. I am compelled to pursue the only course left me-immediately within ,e the next week to sell these goods, and if r not wholly disposed of by Wednesday, n October 30, on that day please sell them at auction, after advertising cery largely that they are my goods. Very respect- d fully, RS. A. LINCOLN. s September 25. 1. W. H. BRADY, Esq.: I have reflected upon your remarks, o and have concluded to leave everything to yourgood judgment and excellent sense. My great, great sorrow and loss have made me painfully sensitive; but as my feelings and pecuniary comfort were never regarded or even recognized '- in the midst of my overwhelming be- g reavement, now that I am pressed in a most startling manner for means of common subsistence I do not know why r I should shrink from an opportunity of improving my trying position. Being t assured that all you do will be appro- priately executed, and in a manner that will not startle me very greatly and ex- cite as little comment as possible, again I shall leave all in your hands. I am passing through a very painful ordeal which the country, in remembrance of my noble and elevated husband, should have spared me. I remain, with great F respect, very truly, M1:0. A. Li1 4tLPi. P. 8.-As you mention that my goods have been valued at $24.000, I will be will be willing to make a reduction of $8,000, and relinquish them for $16,000 in five-twenties-nothing less. If this is not accomplished I will continue to ad- vertise largely until every article is sold. I must have means to live at least in a medium comfortable state. MRS. L. W. H. BRADY, Esq., 609 Broadway, New York: SIR-The goods are consigned to you by me, to be disposed of at private sale or public auction. My necessities are so urgent that I give you full discretion- ary power to act as my confidential agent at this time and point. You have my full consent to use whatever document from me in your possession, and to act in everything as your judgment may dictate. I remain, with great respect, very truly. MRS. LINCOLN.

They are of the finest tex- ture and were considered the most ex- = pensive in the market at the time of it their purchase, the largest costing $1,600 t in gold and the others from $325 to $500 d each. Two white Paisley shawls lie on the lounge. They are of remarkable a fineness and delicate finish, and are valued at $300 each. On the showcase lies an exquisite and magnificent white )f point lace shawl which cost $1,000, and g near by are five of the same, averaging a from $200 to $400 each. Seven heavy Lt double point lace shawls included in the K. list are worth $4,500, and a parasol cov- n ered with the richest of thread lace, is valued at $250. C'onspicuous among Ll the articles is a Russian sable cape of ,f the finest and softest fur. It is "-ery d large, and cost $4,500 in gold, and is ac- Lt companied by a sable boa valued accord- ingly. Thrown upon the furs is a point lace handkerchief of the most delicate texture, worth $100, and lying in a pile upon a long table are twenty-three ,f dresses, whose estimated value is $10,- 0 000. Two elaborately wrought brace- lets, of the finest gold and uniquely made, are valued at $800, and in the show case are displayed some of the a richest gems in the world. An equisite set of diamonds, comprising a pin and v ear-rings, the stones of rare brilliancy and large size, are exposed for sale. 1'They are valued at $1,.500. A single e solitaire diamond ring, of great brillian- e cy, is valued at $1,500, and two smaller ones cost $350 and $500 respectively. A set of solitaire diamond ear-rings is val- ued at $300, and alongside are a watch and chain worth $1,000. It would be t too difficult to describe the various trin- kets and other articles offered for sale, the value of the whole of which is esti- mated at close on to $30,000 in gold. Such is the wardrobe and personal paraphernalia of one who but lately oc- cupied so important a position in society, the wife of a man whose name was known throughout the civilized world and whose untimely death called for the sympathy of almost all mankind.-N.

Sensations are numerous, bu substantial news, though on the increase are not so pIlenty. Stock has been stolen from the vallei nearly every night, and everybody want somebody to be hung. Mrs. Rumor ha had it that several doomed individual had paid that penalty on a "neighborinj tree hard by ;" but as diligent searcl was made in vain for any traces of thi deed, she said they were removed soot after to a more remote and secluded spot where they were buried. The grave' have also been looked for, but witliou success. The air is thick with mystery and the impertinent madam has it al her own way. Messrs. McAdow, Story and Lemel, er who were interested in Ricliard's train, le are just in from Fort Smith and bring d i the latest from Red Cloud and Hughes' id command. They had an interview with e: Hughes who came to them as they were d, about returning. His band has become s divided into several squads by disaflfct- ed parties, each going a different way. d Hughes with his small numbers is en- t, camped within seven miles of Ft. Smith, their stock completely given out, with a scarcity of provisions and very little game in the country. He was much cast down and seemed to regret deeply the position he was in. Said his reasons for taking the course he had were that v. it prevented bloodshed-that otherwise f a severe fight must have occurred. Said ,s the Governor had promised they could s, go prospecting, and that this was his y only object. lie should go back in a e few weeks and turn over his arms and e equipments; but on saying " good bye " n he remarked "he should probably not see or them again." It is thought he will go ' on to Fort Phil Kearney, where it is re- j, ported good diggings have been struck- prospects 60 cents to the pan. Information was obtained through the Crows and other sources, regarded per- n fectly reliable, that 3,000 Sioux and Ar- o rapahoes had been encamped on the Yellowstone at the mouth of Big Horn, d lying in wait for the mackinaw fleet e that started down. Dark forebodings as . to the result fill every heart. Few can Spossibly be spared from running such a, Y gauntlet. Telegraphic news from Om- aha will be watched for with eagerness by friends here. Lone Horn and Red Cloud were with them. They have ceased hostilities on the road for 1 two months to allow the Government time to remove the posts and abandon the country. In the meantime Lone a Horn tells Red Cloud to go with his band to Fort Laramie, pretend peace, and ob- tain what powder, lead and blankets he can, while he, with his band, will go to Fort Sally for the same purpose. The terms of the treaty shall be, if one is ef- fected, that the caitea are to give up the road.

PEN AND SCISNOIRN.

Tie West.At VirginiaiNev.) Oct. 5th. a miner

named Pat Price. while working in theChollar-Potosi mine, was caved on seve-ral times and finally crushed to death.The Trepasas says: After the space ofFone hour had passed a second fall ofearth buried him still deeper, when hecalled in heart-rending voice to his com-panions to be quick, as he was smother-ing to death ; and then all was silent ex-cept the falling earth and timbers,which suddenly gave way forty teetabove in one grand crash, and sunk,with the other ground, to the level ofthe mine, where all that is mortal ofPatrick Price now lies buried beneaththousands of tons of ore and timber,perhaps never to be exhumed. For thepresent, it is impossible for men to ap-proach the place of the cave, and it isexpected that another huge mass of theold works will fall before morning.Price had worked in the mine for 18months, and was a faithful, sober, hon-eat, industrious man, beloved by all hisfellow miners and the foreman of themine. He was a native of Ireland, 28years of age, and unmarried.

The Salt Lake Vedette of the 14th hasthe following : We have been credita-bly informed that a party of prospectorsleft town a day or two since for someparticular section of the Sweetwatercountry, to the public unknown, insearch of some reputedly fabulous richgold placer diggings. As the story goessome emigrants. as early as the year '49,found nuggets of gold there as big ashen's eggs, lying around loose ; but, be-ing pressed by Indians, had to leave.Some years after, one man, or more,went out to hunt for the El Dorado, butwere never heard of after-taken in anddone for," probably by the noble red

men. Again, in '57, another emigrantstumbles over and discovers the same 4prospects, but, like the first discoverer,was looking out for poor "Lo" morethan gold, and got out of the country assoon as possible. The present party areconfident they can put their foot right ion the spot, and in that belief havestarted on the hiunt. t

About 11 o'clock last evening, saysthe Virginia Enterprise of the 12th inst.a man named Thomas Coons fell fromthe high sidewalk on the east side of Dstreet, near the corner of Taylor, a dis-tance of twenty feet or more, to theground beneath. He was very drunkat the time. lie was seen to fall, andsome policemen and others brought himto the station-house. lie was in an in-sensible condition from a severe con-tusion in the forehead. Dr. C. C. Greenwas sent for, and on examination found'the skull just over the right eye crush-ed in upon the brain, the wound beingnearly two inches in length. It wasprobably produced by a sharp stone up-on which he fell. Several pieces of bonewere removed, but the patient remainedinsensible and the chances of his beingalive this morning were very small. Hewas otherwise considerably bruised. Heisan Irishman, about 40 years of age,unmarried, and has latterly been work-ing on C street for the Water Company.

AN INCOGNITO ARRIVAL AT A HOTEL.

On the 19th of September last a lady,calling herself Mrs. Clark, accompaniedby a colored female servant, arrived atthe Union Square Hotel in this city.Her baggage consisted of two trunks, onthe largest of which the name " Mrs.Lincoln, Springfi eld, Ill.," was visible,though an eftbrt had evidently beenmade to erase it, the letters "Incoln" be-ing quite plain, as was also the address.A white visiting card, tacked on, borethe name, " Mrs. ('lark," written in pen-cil. The other trunk had the name

Those gentlemen at the hotel who hadknown Mrs. Lincoln when she was thefirst lady in Washington thought thatthis Mrs. ('lark was not she, althoughothers expressed the opinion that thetwo were one and the same person. Shewent out 1but very little during her stayof exactly a week, and left on the 26thof September, promising to give direc.tions by letter subsequently as to thedisposal of her trunks. Although somein the hotel were certain of the identityof Mrs. ('lark with Mrs. Lincoln, otherswere not, but from divers little inci-dents which occurred, they surmisedthat Mrs. Clark was directly connectedwith the Lincoln family. It very soonbecame known that the lady was noneother than Mrs. Lincoln, who, after leav-ing the Union Hotel, absented herselffrom the city, but for a very short time,and on her return took rooms at the Sr.Denis Hotel, under the same name aswhen at the Union.

Mrs. Lincoln's visit, so privately, itwas ascertained, was made for the pur.Lt pose of disposingof some of her personal

property, as her present income is inad-equate to her wants, she being possessedof in all but $1,701 a year, $300 of which, comes from the rent of her old house in

o Springfield, the remainder being the in-3 terest of the 25 i,000 which Congress ap-c propriated for her benefit, in place of,

8 $100.000 which her friends made an ef-e fort to obtain, but which the friends ofg the dead President succeeded in defeat-

ing. The lady, immediately after livingin such splendid style, felt embarrassedin endeavoring to support herself andyoung ones on so small a pittance. Shewent to live at a second class hotel inChicago, where ultimately she foundherself scarcely able to pay her bi'ls.The result was her determination topart with some of her personal effects,and it was for this purpose that, accomo panied by her faithful negro servantLizzie, the only one who left the luxuriesf of the White House to follow the for-s tunes of the President's widow, she vis-5 ited our city, and very soon entered intoe negotiations with a well known brokeron Broadway, to whom she had pre-viously addressed the following letter :

j. truly, MRS. A. LINCOLN.,r DEPARTURt PROM NEW YORK UNAIDED

's Mrs. Lincoln's appeal to her so-callede friends have been made in vain. The

oe men who gave her valuable presents isis her hour of success, merely for the estia mattio in which they held her hausandw now, in her hour of trial, refus to re11 lieve her from comparative want. The

ipoor lady by this time has discver'.the amount ot honor. honesty or disinterestedness to be found in the placehunter's heart, and it must haw Ieetiwith disalpointment and disgust tl!aishe took her departure yesterday morning from a city in which reside men uwealth who have derived their richefrom her husband's hands and throug]the instrumentality and influence oherself.

biDESCRIPTION o0 THE ARTI('I.E FORI SA I.E

As one enters the room where thesearticles are exhibited, the first that at-tracts the eye are five camel's hair

, shawls hanging carelessly on the backof a chair. They are of the finest tex-ture and were considered the most ex-

= pensive in the market at the time ofit their purchase, the largest costing $1,600t in gold and the others from $325 to $500

d each. Two white Paisley shawls lie onthe lounge. They are of remarkable

a fineness and delicate finish, and arevalued at $300 each. On the showcaselies an exquisite and magnificent white)f point lace shawl which cost $1,000, and

g near by are five of the same, averaginga from $200 to $400 each. Seven heavyLt double point lace shawls included in theK. list are worth $4,500, and a parasol cov-

n ered with the richest of thread lace, isvalued at $250. C'onspicuous amongLl the articles is a Russian sable cape of,f the finest and softest fur. It is "-ery

d large, and cost $4,500 in gold, and is ac-Lt companied by a sable boa valued accord-ingly. Thrown upon the furs is a pointlace handkerchief of the most delicatetexture, worth $100, and lying in a pileupon a long table are twenty-three,f dresses, whose estimated value is $10,-0 000. Two elaborately wrought brace-lets, of the finest gold and uniquelymade, are valued at $800, and in theshow case are displayed some of thea richest gems in the world. An equisiteset of diamonds, comprising a pin andv ear-rings, the stones of rare brilliancyand large size, are exposed for sale.1'They are valued at $1,.500. A singlee solitaire diamond ring, of great brillian-e cy, is valued at $1,500, and two smallerones cost $350 and $500 respectively. Aset of solitaire diamond ear-rings is val-ued at $300, and alongside are a watchand chain worth $1,000. It would bet too difficult to describe the various trin-kets and other articles offered for sale,the value of the whole of which is esti-mated at close on to $30,000 in gold.

Such is the wardrobe and personalparaphernalia of one who but lately oc-cupied so important a position in society,the wife of a man whose name wasknown throughout the civilized worldand whose untimely death called for thesympathy of almost all mankind.-N. Y..Herald, Oct. 4.

News items arso thick, or have been, that I haven'had time to gather them till now, whiclaccounts for my long silence: but, alafor earthly hopes, my harvest is turningout like lGallatin wheat-frost bitten--brumor. Sensations are numerous, busubstantial news, though on the increaseare not so pIlenty.

Stock has been stolen from the valleinearly every night, and everybody wantsomebody to be hung. Mrs. Rumor hahad it that several doomed individualhad paid that penalty on a "neighborinjtree hard by ;" but as diligent searclwas made in vain for any traces of thideed, she said they were removed sootafter to a more remote and secluded spotwhere they were buried. The grave'have also been looked for, but witliousuccess. The air is thick with mysteryand the impertinent madam has it alher own way.

Messrs. McAdow, Story and Lemel,er who were interested in Ricliard's train,le are just in from Fort Smith and bringd i the latest from Red Cloud and Hughes'id command. They had an interview withe: Hughes who came to them as they wered, about returning. His band has become

s divided into several squads by disaflfct-ed parties, each going a different way.

d Hughes with his small numbers is en-t, camped within seven miles of Ft. Smith,their stock completely given out, with a

scarcity of provisions and very littlegame in the country. He was muchcast down and seemed to regret deeplythe position he was in. Said his reasonsfor taking the course he had were thatv. it prevented bloodshed-that otherwisef a severe fight must have occurred. Said

,s the Governor had promised they coulds, go prospecting, and that this was his

y only object. lie should go back in ae few weeks and turn over his arms and

e equipments; but on saying " good bye "n he remarked "he should probably not see

or them again." It is thought he will go' on to Fort Phil Kearney, where it is re-j, ported good diggings have been struck-

prospects 60 cents to the pan.Information was obtained through the

Crows and other sources, regarded per-n fectly reliable, that 3,000 Sioux and Ar-

o rapahoes had been encamped on theYellowstone at the mouth of Big Horn,d lying in wait for the mackinaw fleet

e that started down. Dark forebodings as.to the result fill every heart. Few canSpossibly be spared from running such a,Y gauntlet. Telegraphic news from Om-

aha will be watched for with eagernessby friends here. Lone Horn and RedCloud were with them. They haveceased hostilities on the road for

1 two months to allow the Governmenttime to remove the posts and abandonthe country. In the meantime Lonea Horn tells Red Cloud to go with his band

to Fort Laramie, pretend peace, and ob-tain what powder, lead and blankets hecan, while he, with his band, will go toFort Sally for the same purpose. Theterms of the treaty shall be, if one is ef-fected, that the caitea are to give up theroad. If not complied with at the ex-piration of two months, hostilities areagain to colnmence with "extermina-tion" the war cry. D. W.
