of the Platte river, eighty-five mites east of here,

four wounded. Several Indians were killed.
Strong detachments of troops have been sent
against the Indians in various directions.
Some uneasiness is caused by the conduct of the
Sioux Arrapatioes and Cheyennes. They are
making unusual efforts to obtain arms and ammu
nition, and have recently stampeded several herds
of cattle near here. Stringent orders have teen
issued forbidding thesale of arms or ammunition

THE GREAT -SANITARY PAIR IN PHIL
ADELPHIA.
LETTER FROM GENERAL 3LEADE
- -
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OP THE POTOMAC, April
B.—L. Montgomery Bond, Esq. , Dear Sir: —I
have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your
communication of the 6th instant, iuclosing cir
culars of the "Committee on Labor, Incomes and
Revenues" of the Great Central Fair for the
United States Sanitary Commission. I feel very
much flattered and complimenteo atthe honor con
ferred on me, by placing my name as one of the
honorary members of this important Committee.
It is hardly necessary for me to assure you that.
lam with you,heart and soul in the great work of
benevolence and charity which yon have en
tered on.
It has been my duty to make inquiry as to the
practical working and benefit of the United States
Sanitary Commit sion, and it affords me great plea
sure to bear testimony, so far as this army is con
cerned, to the inestimable benefits and blessings
conferred by this noble association on the suffering,"
sick and wounded soldiers.
A few facts in connection with this point may
be of use to you.
At the battle of Gettysburg the number of
wounded of„our own army alone amounted, by
official reports, to thirteen thousand seven hun
dred. and thirteen (13,713). Those of the enemy
left on the field were estimated by our medical
Officers as amounting to eight thousand. This
Would make m all nearly twenty-two thousand
suffering beings, requiring immediate care and
attention to save the.
Few people can realize such large numbers, but
if you tell them that should they fill and pack your
Academy of Husk, in Philadelphia (which holds,
I. believe, some thirty-five hundred people,) six
times; andi then imagine every soul In this im
mense- crowd wounded, they will have a small
idea of the great work for humanity on the field of
Getiysburg. - -
wow, although the Government is most liberal
and generous in all its provisions for the sick and
wounded, yet it is impossible to keep constantly
on band either the personnel or suppl es required
-' in an emergency of this kind.
In addition to this difficulty at Gettysburg I was
'compelled to pursue the retreating foe, and as I
- expected in a few days to have another battle at
some distant point, it was absolutely necessary I
should carry away the greater portion of my sur
-:geous'and medical supplies, so that the wounded
,of Gettysburg were, in a naeasure, dependent upon
'such extra assistance as the Government clnld
hastily Collect, and upon the generous aid so cheer
fully and.promptly afforded by the Sanitary and
Christian Commissions. and the various. State and
Soldiers' Aid Societies. All the additional aid from
every source was here most urgently needed, and
it gives me great pleasure to say that, from the
reports of my medical o ffi cers, I am satisfied the
United States'Sanitary Commission, as well as the
others above named, were fully up to the work be.
lore them. I

LATER. BY THE ASIA.
H.srara, April 3.--The Paris correspondent
of the Ldirdon Mobs says : The rebel cruiser
Georgia is refitted in the Garonne, not being a al
lowed to anchor in front of Bordeaux in conse
quence of the port regulations excluding ships
with powder on board. -
It was reported that the Georgia, bad burnt the
ship William Crainpton, of New .York, recently
from Bordeaux, but the crew of the Georgia would
give no information on the subject.
The correspendence relative to the Chesapeake
case is published, but it adds nothing of material
interest to what is already known.
In this correspondence Mr. Seward apologizes
for any violation of British jurisdiction, and ac
knowledges the justice and impartiality of the
British officials and of the t.ourt of Nova Scotia.
Lord Lyons accepts of the apology in the spirit
that it is offered, and rejoices teat the matter is
settled in a manner honorable to both parties, and
calculated to improve the friendly relations be
tween the two Powers. .
The London Times has recommenced the publi
cation of letters from its secession correspondent
"S," of EiveXpool, who paints in as strong colors
as ever the prospects of the rebels. He, thinks
that really the decisive struggle has come now,
and that it is heyond the reach of gunboats.
The British revenue for the year ending
March 31st, was £70,218, KO, or within £400,000 of
the preced•ng year, notwithstanding that more
than three millions was taken offn taxation. The
monthly returns continue to show a treat inc ease
in the revenue.
In regard to the Mexican oneetion, several
French journals assert that the difficulty mauve
to the departure of Maximilian for Mexico will
shortly be arranged.
The Oisterrisehe Zeitung. of Vienna, says negotia
tions between Maximilian and the Emperor of
Austria were brought to a favorable issue on the
3tst, and the Archduke's formal acceptance of
the Mexican crown may be expected very
shortly.
It was stated that Napoleon sent General Pros
es.= to Vienna, to smooth down the clinical
ties between Maximilian and the Emperor of
Austria.
THE DANISH WAR
The Prussians, on the night of the 29th. suc
ceeded in opening the first parallel before Dup
peln, without molestation from the Danes.
It is officially announced that the Danes occu
pied Horsens on the 28th.
A Trieste telegram asserts that the Austrian iron
clad Don Juan will join the fleet in the North Sea
in a week.
The fifth part of the correspondence relative to
"Denmark has been published by the British Gov
senment, and brings matters down to the present
time.
It appears from this correspondence that the
proposal for a conference has been accepted by all
parties, anti will probably, says the rimes, lead to
a settlement of the d•sputes, unless warlike pass
sions are too much excited by events taking place
befo e Duppeln.
The Daily News says the correspondence suffi
ciently shows that no preparation whatever has
been made for a conference; 'and if the Emperor
Napoleon has only half the sagacity for which he
gets the credit, he will easily be able to transform
it into the Congress which he proposed last No vein
ber, with the additional grattilcation of scieitig it
convened by the very statesmen who defeated it
befoie.
The London Times gives partial credit to the re.
port of an extensive attempt of a revolt among the
Hungarian troops arrayed against Denmark. The
Austrian airily broke up from before Frederica in
an unaccountable manner, and the disaffection of
the troops may have been the cause. Theristes
trusts that the report of the wholesale execution of
the Hungarian troops is untrue.
BITSSIA AND "POLAND.
A review of the imperial Guerd had taken place
at St. Petersburg in honor of the anniversary of
the entry of the allies into Paris.
The invcaide Rune accuses the Virallachian
minister of openly sympathir.ing with and tolera
ting revolutionarg Poles. -
HUNGARY. -
It was stated that the military organization of
Hungary by the revolutionary narty was progress
ing on the basis of a former regimental list of the
national guards.
Prince Conza, under Austrian menaces, is said
to have consented to take measures against the
Hungarian and Polish refugees in the princi
palities.

THE GEITYSBURG BATTLE
FIELD MEMORIAL.
AN APPEAL
TO LOYAL PENNSYLVANIANS.
The ttGETTYSBURG BATTLE-FIELD ME
MORIAL ASSOCIATION" was institutedfor the
purpose of securing, forever, the principal points
upon' he great battle-field of the war, in the exact
condition in which they were left in July, 18G3,
when the rebel hordes of the invader Las were
driven back from the free soil of Pennsylvania,
and when the gallant soldiers of GEtsgataz. Mune
remained in possession of the field which they had
won by their valor. The Association have already
secured the purchase of thourry.as RILL, Cuts s
RILL, Gnsivrra Spun and ROVED Top, with the
entrenchments thrown up just upon the eve of the
great conflict which was the turning point in the
career of the rebellion. The field, with Its redoubts,
wonderful stone defences, its timber breast-vt (irks,
itsforest heights, with the trees torn by shells and
countless bullets, and its long lines of earthwork
defences, have all been preserved Intact, and to so
continue to preserve them, as to be a monument
forever of the greatest of American Battle-fields,
is the object of the formation of the Association.
To enable a large number of persons to join in thl
patriotic work, the projectors of the plan placed
the subscriptions at ten dollars each. The payment
of this sum MAKES EACH SUBSCRIBER A XERBER
OP TEE ASSOCIATION, AND PART OWNER OP 2' HB
GLORIOUS F/ELD OP GETTYSBURG.
What Loyal and Patriotic Citizen of Pennsylia
nia would not gladly embrace the privilege of re
cording his name upon this ro lof honor, and of
linking himself directly with the field where the
lofty heroism of his countrymen vindicated the
integrity of the Union and the principles of Free
dom I Anti who would not desire to hand down as
a precious heir-loom to his children the evidence
of kis part in the good work, bearing, as the certi
ficate will, a view of the field which will rank in
history with Tnmistorvi-ii, MARATHON and WA
TEIILOO
There are no salaried officers in this Association,
not are there any objects in view in its creation
other than those already ratted. The grounds were
purchased V011:1 their original owners at the exec
price to be paid for them by the Association, and
the points selected, and the prices to be paid for
them, met the unqualified approval of a commitnis
of the Einirroutcau tocrErr OP PEN:.e k I.V2arLe.
