THE (INUCT INDIAN nUTONSIRY.

Pall Details of She Pert Kearney MisiN
(From the Janesville .(Wirj,). Gazette, Jan, 90,1
From a priVitelettei to Mr. David Van
kirk, of tble,aity,Written by his son, Hor
ace p. Vankirk, Otittipany C, 27th United
States infantry,now stationed at Fort Phil,
Kearney we lire permitted to make some
extracts in relation to the Indian massacre
which occulted on the 21st of last Decem
ber. He says;
"On the morning of December 21st, about
half pasteight o'clock, tiring in the direc
tion of our wood train, sorest(' to the pinery
for timber, was beard, and the picket on the
lookout hill immediately signalled Indians
in that direction. Company 0, 2nd United
States Cavalry, and about forty-five in
fantry, under command of Brevet Lieut.
Col. Fetterman, accompanied by Lieut. G.
W. Grummond and Capt. F. H. Brown,
with orders to go to . the aid of the wood
train, and if they thought they could take
it to the pinery and return in safety, to do
so, were immediately got ready. Mean
while, Indians appeared on the hills across
the Piney Fork, about a mile distant, al
though scattered in small parties. The
12-pounder was got into position to give
give them a shell or two, and Colonel Fet
terinan's party ' - started out the northwest
gate. The Indians bad begun to ' light
out' from among the bushes along the
Piney . Fork, as a shell or two went over
their heads in the direction of their com
rades on the hills. The firing by this time
had ceased in the direction of the wood train,
and Colonel Fetterman had gone down
into the valley of the Piney I , c•ric (Which
runs only about 400 yards from the north
corner of the stockade), to where the In
dians were getting out of the bushes, and
who had not been seen till one or two shells
from the 12 pounder had begun to make
them think it was not exactly safe around
there, they had evidently been lying in am
bush there since sometime before daylight.
There were, I should judge, about 150 in
number, and they were running up ravines
and from ono place to another to keep out
of sight. When Col. Fetterman got down
into the valley, he threw out a skirmish
line as ho advanced toward the creek ; the
Indians were retreating in a northerly di
rection toward Peno Creek Valley, where
Lieutenant Bingham and Sergeant Bowers
were killed on the 6th. A small party of
men joined Colonel Fetterman's party in
the Piney Fork bottom, consisting of about
three soldiers and three or four citizens,
who went out on their own hook.
Colonel Fetterman's party kept on, and
finally disappeared over the hills toward
the Peno Creek Valley, and shortly after
heavy firing was heard in thatdirection. It
was by this time almosteleven o'clock, and
everything in the garrison pursued its reg
ular routine of garrison duty. About half
past eleven A. 111, a messenger arrived from
the scene of action and requested more as
slmtance, and men were soon gathered to
the number of about forty-five, under
charge of Captain T. Ten Eyck, to go VA
their assistance. The messenger reported
the Indians charging on our men In great
numbers. I was anxious to go, and I could
not get a gun handy without going down
to the company after my own, and I knew
I would not have time enough for that, so I
concluded not to go, but an intimate friend
of mine went, and I got the following state
ment from him ; he Is, I think, a very good
j edge:
" Ile mays they proceeded in haste to the
field, and upon arriving at the edgeof Peno
Creek Valley, they discovered further down
and in the valley, what appeared to be old
cottonwood limbs stripped of their bark.
The valley was one moving body of Indians,
yellingaround and cutting capers us far
down the valley as the eye could reach.
My friend estimated thorn at from three to
live thousand, and he has seen armies in
every position, and I think he has made a
careful estimate. They proceeded along the
edge of. the valley to sea if they could find
any trace of Col. letterman's party, but not
daring to go down Into the bottom of the
valley for they know it would be Bally, tor
they would be immediately surrounded by
the Indians if they should. They continued
along the edge of the valley until they got
to a point opposite to where the apparent
cottonwood trees were lying, and Capt. Ton
Eyck sent twenty men to go down and ex
amine the rubbish, and 10, and behold, they
were the dead bodies of Col. Fetterman and
larty, and not one was found to have the
east particle of life ie. When Capt. Ten
Eyck left the post, an ambulance and three
army wagons,
with hay In the bottom
to bring in the wounded and take
slit 3,000 rounds of ammunition, were sent
out directly after Captain Ton Eyck's party
had left. After It had boon discovered that
none of Colonel Fetterman's party had been
left to tell the tale, the wagons and ambu
lance were driven down and all of the men,
except a few that were left on a high point to
keep a lookout, went out to load up the bodies.
The Indians had retreated down the valley
and did not seem anxious to renew the
combat, but very slowly kept falling back,
leaving about thirty-five dead on the field.
Being unable to bring them in, we returned
the next day, 22d lust., and brought In the
remainder. The bodies were stripped per
fectly naked and horribly mutilated, some
had the top of their skulls cut off and their
brains taken out, others with their arms cut
out of their sockets, and were mutilated in
every shape and way imaginable, and hitd
arrows in considerable quantities stabbed In
their bodies. One man a soldier in
Company E. Second Batallion, Eighteenth
Infantry, had 155 in his body, another so,
and some had only five or six, more or less.
From lilt appearances and best evidences Is
that the party, Colonel Fetterman's, went
down into the valley on a charge, and only
150 or 200 Indians were visible, and when
they had got fairly in the bottom, Indians
sprang out from among the ravines and be
hind the little bills in immense numbers,
and immediately surrounded them, for they
had evidently fought to the last man, anti
by all appearances fought well. Their bodies
were all in the space of forty feet square,
although they were not piled on top of one
another. The Indians could not have finish
ed their work of torture many minutes be
fore the arrival of Captain Ten Eyck's
party, for heavy firing was heard after be
had crossed Piney Fork, in that direction.
I have given you the particulars, as far as
I can, as far as the fight is concerned, and I
will try and relate the feelings of the garri
son on the foundation of such a fact. Our
loss is three offices and 76 enlisted men, three
citizens that I know of; and perhaps more.
Colonel Carrington, in his dispatch, report
ed ninety-four killed, but I think it is
lees than that number. I know, on the
night of the 22d inst., Captain Arnold came
into the office and told the Sergeant Major
that he wanted every company to account
for every man, its there were ninety dead
bodies at this post, and there were only
seventy-six enlisted men and three officers,
making a total of seventy-nine accounted
for, making adefielendy of eleven men. The
garrison was In a high state of excitement
when the bodies were brought in, and no
doubt the Indians could have taken the fort
if they had followed - up their success, as
they were in overpowering numbers. The
general assembly was sounded, and the
troops formed into line of battle about 4
P. M., on the 21st. Col. Carrington made a
speech and said some encouraging words.
Our whole armed force at that time only
mustered one hundred and eleven men in
fighting trim. Think of that. Immediate
ly after dark platforms were built to every
loophole, and wagons were hauled in a cir
cle around the magazine to make an effect
ual stockade, determined to fight to the last
man.
At 8 o'clock, P. IC, same day, the general
assembly was sounded again, and the troops
were again formed in line. The Colonel
said a few words, and the troops deployed
around the stockade at the loop holes,
so
that every company would know which
side to take, and every man what loop hole
to take in case of an attack. Our determi
nation, and that of our officers, was to light
at the loop-holes around the stockade as
long as possible, and then fall back in the
stockade urouud the magazine with the
women of the garrison, and there fight to
the last man, if necessary, and then blow
up the magazine, but I think that we could
stand against a large force at the loop
s holes, as we have the advantage of
good sized logs to stand behind. We were
called in as soon as we had our places as
signed to us. A running guard or night
watch has been kept in the company's
quarters every night since, and I think it
will continue in the future, There was not
much sleep that night, everything quiet,
men talking in squads:in low voices, guess
ing if assns wounded man had not made
his ~Ape and one man left to tell the tale;
but none has yet appeared, and all hope is
given up, I, however, went to bed and
slept well tall about hall past 2A. M., when
1 awoke and found the Colonel sitting by
the move talking and gassing with some of
no, boys who were still up. The special
~ ourier had left that night for Fort Laramie
with the divan:low of the full accounts and
wines - I.lllg reinforcement&

A California torMlN_Oeltt,' in it" re
oeht letter,. give s a skillobefona of, the
pioneers of t State, 'Wfth: the prelim-
Wary reflect! n' thAt _ ,' there must' be
something eitoeedingly, fascinating' in
they lfe of a trapper' ern% as his has
been, among the wildestportions of the
Sierras, to induce a person of his charac
ter to embrace it.' The name of this
young man is Hanky.' He. - bis about
thirty years of age,. al th ough his fresh
features make him look much younger.
He is small in .size full and erect in
figure, with a frame knit together with
sinews of great strength and endurance.
Years ago he was a clerk of an im
porting house in Philadelphia. By
strict economy and close attention to
business he laid by quite a nice little
propOrty, and had as fair prospects be
fore him as any young man could desire.
Then came the crisis of 1857 and left
him penniless. Not discouraged by
reverses of fortune, he left his eastern
home and came to California, and fail
ing to obtain. such a situation in the
1 city as he thought himself entitled to,
he went into the mountains and estab
lished himself as a hunter and a trapper
among the Sierras. During the fall of
1861 he built a cabin on the headwaters
of the American river and proceeded to
fortify himself against the coming win
ter. During the winter the snow fell
to' the depth of twenty-eight feet, and a
snow drift covered his cabin twenty
five feet below the surface, and so great
was the pressure that it required thir
teen massive timberstosupportthe roof.
He tunnelled an entrance to the cabin,
which was sixty-five feet long.
During that time he tended two hun
dred and seventy-five traps and dead
falls, and he succeeded in obtaining
many valuable animals. In 1862 and
1863 he lived in the vicinity of Castle
Peak,where he remained for five months
in complete isolation. At one time,
when besieged by storms, he was kept
a prisoner in his cabin for thirty-two
days, the snow being at that time over
fourteen feet deep over the surrounding
country. In 1863 he heard from some
herdsmen who had been ranching their
cattle in the mountains, that the country
round about Meadow Lake abounded
in ledges of some kind of metal, of what
they were unable to tell. In the follow
ing year he penetrated the region alone,
and from one of the high peaks near by,
discovered the Excelsior ledge. He
at the same time discovered the Great
Eastern ledge, and at once located
them. He also discovered and located
numerous other mines, which, if they
turn out as well as present appearances
Indicate, will make him one of the
millionaires of the country.
The Fashions.
The following are the latest fashions
for ladies, which will be universally
adopted, owing to their admirable adap-
tation to the season, and the climate of
the latitude :
Winter Bonnets—The latest style cors
elets of a postage stamp with strings of
green ribbons; the hair is carefully
combed back so as to give the air un
interrupted access to the roots, and the
ears and neck. This style is highly
recommended by physicians. A box of
Shefuhl's Neuralgic Ointment accom
panies each bonnet.
Skirt—The new hoop skirt, also re
commended by physicians, commences
expanding under the arms—excellent
article for skating and sleighrides. A
bottle of Kuleg's Rheumatic Lotion
sold with each skirt.
Trains—Crinollnel s to be discarded,
and trains from one-half to two yards
in length will be worn. In view of this
fact the city government havedischarged
the regular street-sweepers, as their
places will be filled by female volun
teers.
Fast ladles will wear railroad trains.
Steady young ladles of even temper
ament, who are not subject to a tight
reign, will wear a tie train.
The wives of retired editors will wear
the ex-press train.
The color for elderly ladies will ren
der it necessary that theirs should be of
a large size, as it will be a gray train
(great train.)
There are getting to be more points to
a lady's dress than her conversation.
The points which they arrive at with
little difficulty, except to their hus
bands, is point lace. Most ladies, how
ever, have an eye to the great waste
when they are very snug with the lace.
Indictment of Surratt
The Grand Jury of Washington
through their foreman have presented
an indictment against John B. Surratt.
The indictment is accompanied by a
presentment charging John Wilkes
Booth with the murder of Abraham
Lincoln; and John H. Surratt, David
E. Harold, Lewis Payne and Geo. A
Atzerot for being present, aiding and
abetting, on or about the 14th of April,
1865. The indictment is for murder,
and in its first count charges that John
H. Surratt, on or about the 14th day of
April, 1865, did murder Abraham Lin
coln. The second count charges that
John H. Surratt and John Wilkes Booth
did murder Abraham Lincoln. The
third count charges with the murder of
Abraham Lincoln, John H. Surratt,
Lewis Payne, John Wilkes Booth,
David E. Harold, Geo. A. Atzerot and
Mrs. M. E. Surratt. The fourth count
charges that John Wilkes Booth, John
H. Surratt David E. Harold, Geo. A.
Atzerot, Lewis Payne and Mary E.
Surrat did conspire and confederate
together to kill and murder Abraham
Lincoln.

SYMPTOMS
The symptoms of Catarrh are at first very
slight. Persons finding they have a cold, that
they have frequent attacks, and are more see
stive to the changes of temperature. In this
condition the nose may be dry, or a slight dls•
charge, thin and acrid, afterwards thick and
adhesive, may ensue.
As the disease becomes chronic, the discharges
are increased In quantity and changed In
quality; they are now thick and heavy, and
are hawked or coughed off. The secretions are
offensive, causing a bad breath; the voice thick
and nasal; the eyes are weak; the sense of
smell is lessened or destroyed; deafness Ire
qnently takes place.
Another comp on and important symptom
of Catarrh is, that the person IN obliged to
clear his throat in the morning of a elicit or
slimy mucous, which has fallen from the head
during the night. When this takes place, the
person may be sure that this disease is on its
way to the lungs, and should lose no time In
arresting it.
