INDIAN FIGHTING. The Punishment of the Pleases. , Surgeon Francis L. Town, writing from Fort Shaw, Montana Territory, gives a graphic account of the attack upon the Piegan Indians. We, extract the following The .upper camps of the Plegans.were those the troops were ordered to. destroy, and they aimed to approach the river precisely at the upper camp, and attack at the break 6f day. It is probably from eighty to one hundred miles northward from' here to where they came to the Mariam. Thu attack occurred on the 2.3 d. Either through fear or ignorance, and in the darkness of the night march, im mediately preceding, their guide, a half-breed Indian, became completely bewildered, and led the troops out of their course. Being satis fied of this, Colonel Baker directed the march due north by the North Star, and moving cautiously forward, came near the river about an hour or more before day light. Here a halt was made, and each soldier stood by his horse as silently as his shivering bones and the frosty atmosphere would per mit, and kept an anxious vigil, waiting until the shadowy folds of early twilight rose out of the river basin sufficiently to enable them to distinguish objects at some distance. No lodges were in sigbt,and the command moved down the river feeling that they had been thwarted in their purpose of a surprise by the incapacity of their guide, and entirely uncer tain as to the location of the Indian camps. Catching sight not far along"of a 'solitary tee pee, a detachment surprised and captured all tie inmates. Frain them they learned through an interpreter, that Red Horn's band of thirty-five lodges were from eight to twelve miles below. This was the upper camp of Piegans, and the expedition had struck the river that much too high up I. e., to the west. The troops now pushed rapidly ahead until they came within sight of the white teepoes of Red Horn's band in the bottom below, then sweeping swiftly up they went with a rush down into the river bottom; where the winter. camp was. It was . a. bright winter morning, almost every Indian brave was inside his tee pee, and the smoke 'of the lodge 'fires curled silently up from 'the doomed village in the frosty morning air. .No premonition of dan ger or message of warning had gone before, and they were on them. The troops were suffering from cold and want of sleep, stif fened from exposure, some of them frost bitten, savage; small hope for Red Horn or his band now. Ere many moments the sharp crash of rifles smote the still air. Some of the warriors, the bravest of the band, sprang to their arms; others, panic-struck, leaped forth in wild flight; but attempts at resistance or flight were almost alike futile— scarcely a warrior escaped. Every Indian village or camp is overrun with a horde of (logs, great and small, of strange and mongrel shape and look, and with voices as unfamiliar as their grotesque bodies ; many of these animals were also killed and wounded by the fi3ing suissiles, and wild ululations rose from th it wolfish throats. It ed Horn and his soldiers have paid the ex treme penalty for all their inisdoings ; we will suppose on the theory that thus only is the untamed Indian nature terribly taught the im propriety of predatory horse-stealing 'and the occasional shooting of the owners; and so by heroic tuition are led to choose their happiness in the mild practices of peace—the Indian mind is evidently prejudiced. Four or rive braves are, said to have gotten off—Black Eagle and another, well.known, who have taken - part in different murders of whites, and v, ho the citizens of the Territory seem to have thpccially hoped would have been overtaken. I understand that 175 dead bodies were counted alter the attack. The Eastern papers appear to have it that neither women or children were spared, but all were killed. The officers say that more than one hundred of these were collected un hurt after the firing ceased,and s.aved r besides a considerable number of wounded. One man only of the command was killed. The camp was set on fire, and the lodges, all the buffalo i robes and skins the Indians had collected, everything they ,posse.ssed, were burned up ; no one was allowed to save anything whatever. A few citizens, frontiers men, were along, and keenly •felt that this certainly was overdoing things. Leav ing one company here toperform this work. troops lad again rapidly advanced. down the river iu the endeavor to cut off Mountain Chiefs band, supposing that his camp was only a few miles below. After several hours' hard riding they came upon the site of the abandoned camp. A few mounted. Indians were seen here and there watching them from the hills. Five lodges were discovered lying collapsed on the ,r , round ; the occupants had evidently just pulled out the poles, 'letting them drop,into the dried grass and sage bush, hoping they might escape notice, and hastily mounting their ponies were industriously . - making• off. Colonel Baker subsequently learned that, purely in obedience to their nomad life, it so happened that Mountain Chief had broken up his camp a few days previously, and . all had moved Off except five lodges. , Old Mountain Chief hitn. self and most ot the - camp had joined another hand yet further doWn the Marian, while a few luckless aborigines had straggled inte the deserted camp. These five deserted lodges were-'also burned .up. The day was now. somewhat advanced, the troops had been cou- Aantly in the saAldie or on the move since evening of the previous 'day, and men and , horses were alike nearly worn out. The In dian camps were now thoroughly apprized of all that had taken place, and nothing more could be accomplished. The welcome order was therefore given to face about, and, rejoin ing the company left behind, they bivouacked there on the Marias FRANCF- Murder and Suicide In Paris Gultymmi's Mast:nye?. of the 12th of March reports the' following tragic occurrences : A crime in some points resembling that of the Rue Amelot has just been perpetrated at No. 24 Rue Notre Dame-de-N:l4lmM The commissary of police of the district received recently a letter bearing the postmark of Ville d'Avray, signed C—, and consisting of four nages of very close writing, beginning with the words : " Monsieur, after two months and a half of abnegation I find myself under the necessity of killing my wife: The function ary, without waiting to read` to the end, at once looked at the signature and started off to the address indicated. The house 'porter had not seen or his wife for two days, and the door having becn 'forced open the woman was found lying in bed with her skull badly fractured. bid still alive.

William won't Tell, for he's GEN. CAMPS ronivrin How is Was Made. The Lansing (Michigan) Republican:gives an interesting account of the manner in which the late Lewis Cans made his fortune, from which we extract the following particulars: "General Cass laid the foundation of his fortune while in the public service as Terri torial Governor from 1814 to 1831. He received a handsome salary regularly in gold coin, and, for a part of the time he got double pay as In d:an Commissioner and Governor both. " But most of Cam's money was made on a farm of about 200 acres which he bought, within the limits of Detroit, lying only four blocks west of the new City Hall, and extend ing from the river back one mile or more. He purchased this farm about the year 1830 for $12,000, paying $lO,OOO cash down and giving his note for s2,ooo—the only note he ever signed. "Detroit was at that time a straggling little village of wooden buildings, containing only 2.22 inhabitants. General Cass did not seem to have made a great speculation , and when he was offered $25000 for the farm—more than doubling his investment in less than three years—he thought seriously of closing kith the offer and 'selling out.' But he asked the advice of an intelligent eastern business man who was visiting him in Detroit. After dinner, one day, the two gentlemen walked over the farm from the river bank to its outer boilndaries. " Said General Cask's friend to him : 'lf you wish to sell the farm, I will give .yeu $.50,000 for it.' 4 , , Oh, then, my mind is made up ; 1 will not sell at all; replied the General. "He held on to this piece of real estate, and became very rich through the industry and enterprise of others around him. He finally sold at good prices scattering lots, giving ten years time for most of the purchase money, with interest at seven ner cent., but, stipulat ing always that buildings of considerable value should be erected on the lots within a short period. He issued land contracts of the above nature, but no deeds until the purchase money was all paid up. "He also made a lucky hit by giving a large lot for a Union school-house, in the midst of his farm, on condition that the city should erect a handsome brick building and iron fence around it, within a given time, and name the school-house after him. The Cass Union School' rapidly increased the value of all lots in its neighborhood. " General Cass.avoided litigation, and even in his will provided for settling,by arbitration, any disputes that might arms over his pro perty. His last years were clouded with the fear that his family would come to want, and he left not a dollar to any public or charitable object." SCANDALS IN ENGLISH HIGH LIFE. A Very Dleagreeable List. A London correspondent, , writing to the New lurk Times, says: Lady Mordaunt's portrait is advertised in the Times, with autograph; ls.; colored, 2.e. lid. ' highly-colored,' , in morocco case, one guinea.. Sir Charles's photograph, and those of the royal and noble personages connected with the late trial, are also in demand. Sir (I. :tries has successfully applied for a hearing of an application for a trial for divorce, in ...pile of his wife's in.anity. So we may have the whole case over again. The Marquis of Waterford scandal is also to be brought into the Divorce Court for a full investigation. A decree nisi was granted -orne time ago without opposition ; but now the friends of the Marquis mean to set aside the divorce,to make it impossible for him to ful fill his promise to marry the lady, pretending that her husband knew all about It. English morality is getting some hard jolts. And here is another scandal in high life. Lady Blanche Noel, .eldest (laughter- of-the Earl of Gainsborough, has eloped and married a musician, an organist—one Mr. Murphy; doubtless an Irishman. Lady Blanche is twenty-five years of age; Mr. Murphy, the organist, who has been in the employment of the noble Earl, at Eaton House, Rutland shire,and who, I presume, was Lady Blanche's music -master, is twenty-two. They are all Roman Catholics. Lady Blanche came to London to be married; the Earl followed her, and obdurately refused his con sent. They were married notwithstand ing, on Sunday last, at the pretty and very fashionable Catholic Chapel in Cadogan-place, Chelsea, where the seats are inscribed with the names of-a considerable portion of the Catholic peerage. You remember what a foolish row Dr. Johnson made when his friend Mrs. Thrale, a brewer's widow, married a mu- . sician—an excellent and accomplished man, who made her a good husband. "The prejudice against musicians is quite as strong now, I be lieve, as in the days of George ILL So you can imagine the consternation when an Earl's (laughter becomes Mrs. Murphy. THE CHINESE Li CALIFOIT.NLIL , Ariti.ateitygelf Muslin tiOne,nrad- I From the San, Franeiece Enlfetin of March 10.1 the California Assembly has actually in serted in the new quarantine act a provision requiring every Chinaman, on landing, to be vaccinated by an officer, who-is to receive $lO for the job, and prohibiting the removal from the State of the remains of dead Chinese, under a penalty of another $lO in each case. Of course, the motive of these provisions is not actually to promote health, bur to make a spe cial revenue out of the Chinese,and to discour age their immigration. The attempts to ac complish these objects in other ways ' having' been, declared 'unconstitutional, it is now' sought to accomplish thein by indirection, un der the color of sanitary laws.' The provisions. quoted are neveytheless contemptibly mean and unworthy at a great State. It is a sutb.- eient commentary on the vaccination clause, to say that the Chinese at home practice in oculation almost univ , -rsally, and that when small-pox was extensively epidemic in San Francisco, it did not break out in the crowded quarters of the Chinese: The' prohibitiOn as to removal of. the dead is simply shameful. There has been no such extreme example of bigotry in partisan legislation elsewhere, that we can call to mind. Or have the Democrats in the Assembly really fallen so much in love with the Mongolian that they hate to part even with his dry' bones? If the Senate should retain these provisions, and permit the Quarantine act thus to go to the tlovernor, California will become the scoff: of Chris tendom. • A Mtate Tax on Bricks. To the .Editor of the Evening Bulletin : A bill has been introduced by Mr. Dailey at Harris burg, to require the inspection of all machine made bricks, and so forbid their use. The charge is from one dollar fifty to seventy-tive cents per thOusand. In other words;it is a bill to present their manufacture in a city, where machinery is distributing employment and the comforts 'of life to thousands. Why not in spect all work by cotton mills, sewing ma chines, iron and steel working, and add to the cost a farge salary for . an Inspector of each, to come out of the Pockets of the people The object of the bill is evidently to injure some particular enterprise. One of these: works employs forty men to prepare clay, at tend machinery, place in kilns,lourn the bricks and deliver them. This yard makes tive ]lone of briolcs annually, and haS the capacity to double the quantity. The bricks are made under three pressures of 100 tons each,and will bear mid test which can be applied: It is to be hoped' that this important branch of industry will not be interfered with, only to gratify pri vate competition : , Han Inspector must be ap pointed,let it bo for all briel:s . made.

We receive from the publisher, Mr. John Weik, 605 Sans( m street, a large lithographic view of the city in which the sessions of the (Ecumenical Council have so extraordinarily refreshed, the interest both of Catholics and heretics. It is a careful anti minute view of a large part of Rome, including Saint Peter's, the Vatican. Pantheon, Castle St. Angelo, and great numbers of modern churches. The view Is taken from Mount Aventine, and shows the Tiber intersecting the city, with a large part of Trastevere to the left of the picture.

The following is the full text of the addi tional article to the schemata defining Papal in fallibility : Chapter to be added to the decree on the supre macy of the Roman Pontiff, stating that the Roman Pontaff cannot err in the definition of matters of aith and morals: " The • Holy Roman Church possesses the highest and complete suvremacy and pre dominance over the whole of the Catholic Church, which she truly and humbly recog nizes to have received with the fulness of Power from the Lord Himself, through St. eter, prince of apostles, whose successor is the Roman pontiff. And as she is b6und to defend before others the truth of the faith, so also any questions which may arise regarding faith must be defined by her judgment; be cause, moreover, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, saying, ' Thou art Peter,' &c., are not to be passed over. These words have been confirmed bysubsequent events, for the Cath olic religion has ever been preserved immaou ' late, and its doctrine has ever been celebrated, in the Apostolic See, " Hence we teach, with the approval of the Holy Council, and define as a dogma of faith', that by the Divine assistance, the Roman Pontiff, of whom, in the person of St. Peter, it has likewise been said by our Lord Jesus Christ, have prayed for thee,' &c., cannot err when, acting as the highest teacher of all„ Cbnstians, he authoritatively defines what should be adhered to by the whole Church in matters of faith and morals ; and that this pre rogative of the incapability to err, or infallibil ity, of the Roman Pontiff; is equally exten sive with the infallibility of the Church. "if any one should presume to contradict this our definition, which may God avert, let him know that he thereby falls away from the truth of the faith." rren eh Opinion of the Effects of the Papal GalignaniN Memetver; of ..Parls,.. of the 12th Alin.; speaking of the Roman Council ques tion, says : The last intelligence from Rome leaves , no rdonbt of the Pope's intention in a short time to proclaim himself infailibie. Up to the pre sent day that prerogative or quality had not been admitted to him either by the faithful,or the clergy, or the Fathers of the Church,or the Councils; and even very strong reasons seemed to exist for thinking that a certain number of his predecessors had been deprived" of that superhuman grace. For 1,800 years the Church ha existed without any one:. supposing that its head on earth was exempt from error; and it is only now,•in the nineteenth century, that" a necessity has suddenly arisen, at least in the Holy Father's mind, for making such a decla ration to the world: Without dwelling on the shock given to received ideas an affirma tion like that, we conceive that suilicient• stress has not been laid on the political gravity of the Pope's present pretension. Although the doctrine of infallibility is supposed to reter to religious matters exclusively, the Holy See is so, adroit in , mixing ' together spiritual and • temporal" matters, that a difficulty must often arise in the task of drawing the line which separates the two ; and' hence, if the Holy Father believes hithself infallible in one category of facts, he will naturally hesitate to think ,of he is not so in others which ad join them. —Fechter's favorite tipple is 'alf and 'aLf,old stock and lager. —Mr..Dickens made $.50,000 by his last se ries of London readings: —A French playwright is dramatizing the Mordaunt divorce ease. —A.

It is even said that, before a, reply tor , the above demand has Leten, received , from Rome, the Prince Albert , dee • Broglie, the celebrated- Catholic - writer and' historian, and son of , the late Due de Broglie; • formerly, minister to Louis Philippe, has bake nominated to the , above delicate othee. It will certainly be a curious sight to see a lay man stand up in the council hall andtelf the reverend fathers assembled there that they are all wrong. And yet Ido not see what elke the special ambassador can do, unless he also' threatens to withdraw the French troops from • Rome. 'But all this Con fusion and trouble comes of mixing up' things together which never ought to be con founded, and having State Churches and Cita cordats. They are beginning to see this here; and all , the higher organs of public opinion.. point to the American government, which neither concerns nor troubles itself about , what the Roman Council or any other relic• gious assembly does or does not do, and urge. the adoption of the same principle and the complete separation of the civil and spiritual C' authorities. -11maginti- - ths --- Anserican - Re-' man Catholic Bishops making an applica tion to General Grant to send some one to. Rome to help them, because they found them selves Ina minority there ! And yet this is just what a minority of the French Bishops are said to have done with regard to Count Daru, who is also said to have been unwiSst enough to have listened to.the suggestion. As to 'the question of Infallibility Itself, the noise it is making here just now is prodigious. Count .Montalembert, the great Catholic orator and .a defender of the Papacy in' former days, and who is now whatlying, on may be called his death-bed, has Pat published a letter which is creating an inn=: manse sensation. He uses very strong lan:-, guage, certainly ; denouncing the itltramou tane doctrine as " outrageous and contrary to. common sense," and saying that those who hold them want to "set up .a spiritual idol in the Vatican ;" just as, in 1852, they helped to. , "set up a temporal idol here, in the person of - Napoleon III." He denounces the: whole party and its objects ,at ' this Council in no measured terms. There is great division also among the French' Bishops, some of whom are anathematizing, from their pulpits those writers who oppose the Infallibility doctrine, while others are giving them every encouragement , and ap proval. The question is full of dilliculty for the new cabinet, and it seems impossible at preFent to predict with any confidence what will be the ultimate result. pee Papal organs. - hero continue to abuse the Ministry vehe mently, and make common cause against it , with the Marseillaise and the ultra-demo crane journals and the " irreconcilables." On the contrary, a very remarkable letter has just appeared, 'addressed by a dis, tingnished member of the Left—M. Guyot---to the Marseillaise, in which he distinctly repu, niates, for himself, M. jules Favre, M. Jule% Simon, M. Picard and all his party, all con nection or sympathy with such menus Roche- , fort and his adherents. "Let 'it , be distinctly: understood," he writes, " that there is nothing, in common hetween'the Democratic party in , France and the men of the Marseillaise." This declaration shows that the constituencies,are,' as nave always asserted, decidedly hostile to mere revolutionists and demagogues, who have in reality no followers except the rabble : of Paris. . All the jurors have now been . chosen for •the trial of Prince Pierre Napoleon Bonaparte, and the courthouse at. Tours is being slightly changed for the proceedings. The Inspector, sent down , there to make the necessary arrangements proposed alterations and preparations on a grand scale and- h.-Ovine quite a' large ex-. penditure. But 3i. 011ivier, as Minister or Justice, very wisely negatived all ouch suggeal, dons, and refused to allow any change to . be, m made except a slight additional aocomoda-7 tion for the public. In all other respects the trial will be conducted just like any other,and: with the, greatest simplicity. The great San Donato gallery of Florence,. belonging to Prince Denddoff, has been sell ing off here, and the paintings, statuary and other workß of art have , bronght very large prices. ' Amongst the statuary was the origi nal " Greek Slave" of Hiram Powers, which sold for 56,000 francS, the original price paid to the artist having been, I relieve, 8,000 francs. Another statue by the same artist, they Young Fisherman,' sold. for 6,000, francs. Both have been greatly admired here by connoisseurs from all parts of _Europe. The largest price' given for any modern paint. ing was 110,000 franoi, paid for Paul Delaro- che's celebrated picture of the " Execution of Lady Jane Grey," so familiar to every one by the fine engraving. The highest price of tilt was 156,000 francs, given for a . painting of the. 17th century, by Orelize, called a e "Broken, Fas"; an immense price, both for the master ' and the subject. The sale has alreadY realised several millions, and is not nearly yet finished.; Another sale. to take place on the 26.thinst.i. is that of Lamartine's estate and _château of Monceau, near Macon, which, after 4aving been so often rescued by public and private subscriptions, is about at last to be finally dis-: posed of by his widow; to satisfy the creclitoni of the amiable but too iinprevident pact, • statesman. -The on of M.
