HUT from the Indians who j .--R j>. tra ted the Spirit Lake massacre. The story of her having been set up as a target and shot at by tile Indians, tun s out to be a sheer fabrication. Mis Gardiner was rescued bv ihr-o friendly Indians, dispatched I r th • purp >se bv Gover nor Mf J iry. They bear the pictm ■ s.jue names Mazaintemani, or the man who Shoots metal as he walks; Moinnwashte, or beautiful voice; and Ciietanmaza. or (tie Iron Hawk. Mi-s Gardi ner is a native of Saner, countv, \. V., an i is but fifteen years of age. Her fath-i. mother ana the ivst ol the family, except a si*ter, who had just removed to another part o! lowa, were all murdered at the time of the attack cn the Spil it Lake settlement. The above mentioned Indians, left the Yel low Medicine Agency on the 23d of May, in a two-horse wagon, and on the 29th, came upon a deserted camp,.! Inkpadntuh's band, (the lu diary who ct.;; nutted the outrages.) where they found thrrfead body of Mrs. Noble, one of the captives taken f.-ur. Spirit Lake. The hu.lv was terri 1 !y mutilated; it was a; ; a rent that she had :e n most crucify outraged, ;t ■ n!y fre tie' niter deat.i. 1 hree bullet v. ■ urn's v>f • discov ered in In r h- ad. and on her limbs and arms the trams of hiutal cruelties were visible.

Mi- Gardiner "was treated with comparative fciirt'- ness i v the Indians; wl • captured her, on the aye Mint ni the ;.r•; m i ! the Chi- f's - >n. — She was compelled to carry a heavy | .ck, but n:d it with apparent willingness {hat seen i d to imp- ! the Indians to treat her more kindly than ti.i v did Mrs. .V bio. In reference to Mrs. No de, Miss Gardiner states that she seemed much dejected and ehs p i.dei.: trorn the time she was taken captive until death relieved her from h• • r sufferings.— At limes she wo old sit for hours bemoaning and crying over !<■ r sad fortune, and again, she would rouse herself and treat the Indians with the indignation natural to a high spirited wo man subjected to the most degrading outrages. T..e ta-ks allotted to her she would r. >t willing . v fulfill-, and was often cruelly b'-alen in her resij.tar.ee to the tyrannical villi el' lor captors. Miss Gardiner thinks that It was this peculiar temp. :.jn 'id that not only caused the murder of Mrs. Thatcher, who, it w ill !>e recollected, act- d in the same manner, but also of .Mis. No ble. Miss Gardiner has been conveyed to Foit Dodge, where a sister, the only retraining n ru ber of her family resides. The stun <4 §hQu was raised at St. Paul to lie applied to her edu cation. Theor.lv indication betrayed on her countenance of her experience among the Jndi. ans, is that she is very much sun-burnt. The sum of $1,200 was paid the Indians as a reward for effecting her releas", and their outfit cost -ix hundred dollars. The release of Miss Gar diner and Mrs. Marble cost qver $3O )0. The Pioneer says that measures have been adopted bv Governor Medary, which will result in die extermination of Jnkpadutah's baud, within a very Jew months. Now that there are no white women in the camp of the outlaws, the G >ei nor can prosecute his plans with that energy which will secure the speedy extermination ol these women-murderers. A military expedi tion was not sent lest friendly Indians should be killed, and that in the end, more harm than good would result to the captives from such in terference. A young ladv at a hall, was asked hv a lover of serious poetry, whether she had seen "Crabbe's Tal-s ?" "Why no," she answered, "1 didn't know that crabs had tales." "I beg your pardon, Miss," said he. "I mean, have you read Crabbe's Tales V "And I assure you, sir, I did not know that red crabs, or any other, had tails." From the Washington Union. LET MI; BE QITC&LY RICU. The prayer of rmst young men is, "Let me be quickly rich."
