6 THE DAILY '-jc NG TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, MARCH 30, 1869, for Th Evtninp Telecrroph. SHEKIDAN'S LIST HIDE. BT SHENANDOAH. I. On the Wiohata, at break of daj, The Cheyenne chieftain's village lay; The remnant email of a mighty band, Now Boattered and torn like the sifted sand; The wandering winds with warnings wake The ghosts of his murdered kiu, f who spake "Fly I fly I for the morn bringeth fresh dismay From Sheridan ninety miles away." ii. A thousand horsemen, with weapons bright In the frore and frosted morning light, Ride over the frosty-sheeted ground "With a shuddering, smouldering, sullen sound; They have seen the tents in the night's oold noon, And backward ride 'neath the veiled moon, Prepared to pounce, like a bird of prey, On the fated village at break of day. in. The Indian sire saw the countless throng Like the trees of the forest, mauy and strong; fie stood like a hunted hind at bay, Then sent this message without delay: "Ye are taar.y, and we are few; Ye can drink our blood as the sun the dew, Eat we have our women ami children small, A hundred and thirteen souls in all; My handful of warriors are strong and brave, They will fight my helpless people to save; There's no fear in the chieftain's eye, I cannot fight, for I will not lie. I came with this pledge only yesterday, From the father ninety miles away." IV. No answer came: in another breath They swept to their wretched work of death With a maddening nUout and deafening yell, Like the dire and dreadinl fiends of hell; And babes from their mothers' breasts were torn, And sires were scalped in the light of morn. The ground WB3 criuwoued with their blood, And the river reddened with its flood. Mangled forms lay bleeding and bare, With a ghostly, ghastly, sickening glare; And one rode foremost among them all, Urging them on with shout and call, On a foaming charger that seemed to say, "I have brought you Custer all the way At the head of a thousand armed men, With orders traced wilu a bloody pen, These trembling mothers and babes to slay, yrom Sheridan, ninety miles away." V. Alas ! alas ! for tho deeds that were done That day at the rising of the sun; The tongue shall falter, the pen shall fail, And lips grow white when they tell the tale llow friend and foe on the field did lie, All mangled and mingled to faint and die; The victors, pantk-g tUir fame to spread, Gave no hoed to the dying, no thought to the dead. Great God 1 was there none their hands to stay, With Sheridan ninety miles away ? VI. Their oruel and thirsty carnage o'er, Backward the warriors ride once more; They pilfered the lightuing from the skies And Hooded the country with flaming lies, In these words blazoned all over the laud: "We have met a hostile Indian band Five hundred, counting women and all, A hundred warriors armed did fall; The frontier's safe, for we gained the day With Sheridan ninety miles away." vn. There was joy in the camp of Sheridan When the branded minions appeared again, With their Osage allies,! drunken with blood, And the liquid hell-fire's maddening flood, Came leaping and shouting around the fire With the gory scalp of the Indian sire; Like demons they danced till the dawn of day, And Sheridan there, not a word to say. VIII. The maiden moon took time to unfold Her silvery bow to a diso of gold, When Sheridan rode, 'neath her shining shield, Seeking his dead on the bloody field; Their souls like a vapor before his eyes Arose, with a shivering, sad surprise, To show where their forms were shrouded in blood, The prey of the wolves and the vulture's food. Fifteen days did brave Elliott lay, J And Sheridan ninety miles away. IX. All honor to those who with sword or pen Else np to defend the rights of men, Who succor the weak and battle the strong, Sustaining the right, denouncing the wrong, Who would fly the Indian's life to save From the lawless murderers' conquering glaive; But chiefly honor the glorious three, The valiant sons of a nation free. One, far in the fiery, flaming south, Who flew to rescue from death's dark mouth The hunted few of an Indian baud, When the Texan Bangers were close at hand; And him, the special and martyred one, I Whose name now shines like the flaming BUD, And him, the youngest whom gold could not buy, The glorious "white man that would not lie," These, these, would have rushed the carnage to stay, Had they been a thousand miles away, x. But for this deed, this one without a name, Columbia bendeth her forehead in shame; And the blood that was shed one name shall eflaoe, When the angel of fame on her scroll doth trace The deeds of the great, the wise, and the goodi Then this day's work will be well understood; And over it all with a bnrning pen, IVaslng the reoord of Sheridan, Write, Moke-ta-va-U who dared to die, Rather than basely ntter a lie, Whose pleading women and children were slain, In the light of morn, on the bloody plain, By a mounted host of merciless men, Under orders traced with a faithless pen. Making this a "St. Bartholomew's day,"H And Sheridan ninety miles away. NOTES. Fln.t Btanin. Tun Chymne Chlef-rUn Moket.H-VR-ti, or JJluek Kettle.

After waltlnir fifteen days, the bodies 0' these men were cared lor. It seems that Klliott and his men, Uoubtlea Ignorant of the real character ol the Indian Village, disdaining to molest the women and children or property, engaged in a band to hand encounter with tbU warriors. Not being (.UKtained by the command, otherwise employed, they were cut oir and and abandoned. i IX Stanza The glorious three. Major-Gcneral Oeo;ge U. Tromas, who oom tcarcled at Camp Cooper, Texas, tome ten yers ago, made a forced march of one hundred miles with one hundred and twenty cavalry, to pro tecla village of Uamancbes from Itay lor and three thousand Raugerg that were inarching to destroy them. Ueueral Thomas was successful. He tbeu marched In the rear ot lue Indians hundreds of milfs to shield them from the Texaus. This gallant snd cnlvalrlo ollloer has recently, to the shame and disgrace of the Gov ernment, bad buerlduu promoted over him. Alpjor-Oenersl John Sedgwick, who fell du ring the war of the Kebelllon, rendered similar service ou the Plains in the defense oi the Arra pahoes at about the same time; aud Colonel Edward W. Wyukoop live years inter in behalf of the Cheyennes. This young ollloer is often spoken of by the Indians as the "Tall chief that don't lie." Other officers might be mentioned for similar services, among them Generals Z. Taylor, V. H. Harney, aud Alfred H. Terry. The last men tioned, two years ago, with as rong head, heart, and hand, squelched a conspiracy in Montana to exterminate the Crow Iudians; auin, the next summer, flylnir across the plains and up the Missouri river as fast as steam could carry him, to rescue a Sioux village from the border Bettlers juH removed from tho command of the Department of Dacotah to mmke room for Hancock, whose blundering has already cost the coun'rya dishonorable conflict with In dians, hundreds of lives, aud millions of dollars. Captain Silas H. Soule aud.Lteuienunt 1'hillp H. Sheridan, in Oregon ten years sloce, might also be referred to in this connection. j X Stan.a "Ht. Bartholomew's day." On St. Bartholomew's day, i!lih of August, 1572, during the reign of Charles IX, a massacre of the Huguenots took place In Paris, followed bv others la the different cities and provinces of France. Thousands wero assassinated. Three) officers, Henri de Ravole, Governor of Provence; the Viscount D'Orthez, Governor of Bayonne: and St. Ueran, Governor of Auvergne, reluhed to obey the orders of the king. At the baud cieek musisacre, before referred to, there were tbree officers who protested against at tacking the Indians, Captain H. S. Houle and Lieutenants Cramer and Baldwin. Soule was afterwards asbasslnatcd in Denver, Colorado, for his efforts to save the Indians on the field and his evidence afterwards. At the massacre of the V lunula, there was none to protest, no, not ore. This affair claps the climax In atro city, cowardice, and infamy; it stands by itself, without a single redeeming feature to relieve it of Its damning blackness. Now, as a conse quence, the nation must be prepared to gather Us harvest of death and dishonor. It cannot be otherwise; the Indiana will make common cause against us. They must do It. and no man of honor can blame them for so doing. No people ever lived and suffered who had a greater necessity or belter cause for war than the Indians have to-day. And tho blood that will be lost and treasure expended will be the result ol the folly and atrocity ot our army ou the frontier, and the failure of the American Congress to legislate In such a man ner as to remove the ban of outlawry from the Indians, the chief and only cause of our diffi culties with them. The President, with the best of lnteu tlons In tho world, contemplates (so reported) calling upon the Soolety of Friends to aid him iu the seleciioa of proper officers for the Indian service. Agents cau't make the laws, nor enforce tbem, until the laws are made and power given them to see that they are rigidly emorced; that Is the duty of Congress, and unllU.'ougressacts iu the matter, trouble will be the consequence. Several noble men and women have ulso done good f ervice In thl cause, iminn tbem President IT. S. Grant, In his inaugural: Hon. Georgo W. Msnypenuy.or Ohio; Wendell Phillips, Esq., Colonel William A. Phillips, of Kansas; Mrs. Lydla M. Child, and Mrs. C. T. V. Daniels. A NO TABLE DISCO VER Y. Remain or an Immense Animal Vn eanliai. From the Davenport Iowa) Gazette, March 23. A curiosity was unearthed three miles west M ll 1. . It. - A 3 . . oi tuia city yesieraay, iu the bluff through which the new grade of the Chioago, Rook Ialand, and Paeiiio Railroad ia being pushed, which will stir the thoughts of savants and others who are fond of delving into the mys teries of palicontology. Along in the after noon, Mr. C. II. l'aiker, one of the grade con tractor, overheard a laborer remark, "This is a qnare piece of wood, anyhow I" The man was holding a large pieoe of horn or tusk, which had nearly dropped upon his head from the steam shovel. Mr. Parker immediately stopped the shovel, and told his men to take their shovels and dig for more of that "wood." They soon nnoovered what was evidently the base of a tusk or horn. The KAin wan 4 tv fat Inner an1 am n1 fwaa IylVW TT ao nw v w v vw iw quarter inches in diameter at the larger end. A continuation ff h four or five inohes long in the earth was also exposed, but itorumbled to dust when touched. This was attached to a mats of dark substance which is thought to be the bead of the animal to which it belonged, nd which will be dug out to-day. Mr. Parker then hurried to the place at which earth had been dumped by the cars loaded at the spot of discovery, and was so fortunate as to find an other section of the task two feet long, and tapering to a diameter of two and a half Inches. The piece held by the laborer and the larger portion excavated dovetail their broken ends exactly, but two or three feet are lack ing in carrying out the symmetry of the tusk to a union with the pieoe found at the dump ing point. The steam shovel, whloh penetrates two feet of earth, had struok and broken the horn (we call it), and had it not been for the remark of the laborer, disoovery of it would not have occurred. The pieces in possession of Mr. Parker are four and a half feet long, and at least four feet more of this rello of amammothof anti quity are m'seing. So the thing must have been at least eight feet in length when it was upon the live animal. It was found eighteen feet below the surtace of the earth, and lay imbedded between strata of blue and yellow clay. Careful search for the missing portions which were carried away by the dirt oars will be made to-day. The relic is not ivory, it is horn; when scraped has the dark appearaanoe of ox-horn, and emits the odor of burnt horn when fire is applied to it. The pieces are hollow, though portions are filled with what must have been man ow now in a semi-petrified state. JJopes are entertained of finding a oompanion to it when the other side of the head is reached. It is evidence that thousands of years ago there existed here animals compared with which the elephants of nowadays are small creatures. Mr. Parker has the pieoea described above in his room at the boarding house of Mrs. Davis, on Fourth street, three doors west of the Pennsylvania Ilonae, where they may be seen. Other discoveries of an interesting descrip tion have been made during the progress of the work at the bluff where the above dis covery was made. For a distance of several hundred feet the excavation has followed a dark soil buried thirty feet under the present surface, and resembling it, which was in re mote agea the real surface of the earth at that place. Upon this stratum of earth number less pieces of Norway pine, elm, cedar, ash, and hemlock have been found, besides several I-ieces of what appears to be grape-vine. Dr. Parry has many of these pieces of wood in his possession. In truth, the different strata of earth through which the steam shovel has delvedould repay a visit by palaeontologists, and afford them new subjects of thought and abundant evidence of ancient life on the earth.
