Three white maimed soldiers visited our
Borough one day this week, with their or
gan, endeavoring by the late popular John
Brown airs that so warmed the hearts of
our citizens towards the dear negroes, to
gain the ears and a few pennies from the
trooly loyal—the bondholder and the patri
otie ; but ears that were open to the claims
of the negro, pockets that were unlocked
tbr the purchase of bonds, and eyes that
w, wet when they or their sons were
drafted, were an teak]; and when night
came, these maimed soldi e r s had no wh ere
to lay their heads. Muter, demanded the
dollar, but they could not pay ; finally fur

Finding no sympathetie friends here, among
the "loyal," they shook the dust from their
feet and left us by the early train, coming

The fdlowing story liinu the Milwaukee
(
Wisconsin, reads like aromatic() of Cooper's
condensed, but is said to be.a record of ruts
gathered by a gentleman who is collecting
material fur a history of the Upper Missis•
sippi valley
A party of' thirty Winnebagoes came
down flout the scalp dance at which the
tribe WILY gathered on the Trempelenu river,
iu the north, and encamped en French's
Island, in the Mississippi river, just above
the St. Paul's railroad depot at La Crosse.
The band was under the control era well•
known chief of the IVinnebagues named
Wau-kee-selioong•er•er or Snake Chief,
who had two wives, Smes•ka and Holism
kee, Smes.ka was about Thirty years of age,
graceful in appearance, with a pleasant look
and an interesting face. With whites she
was a favorite, while with the Winnubagoes
she was looked upon very kindly—indeed,
adorned with all the ardor of Indian fervor.
Snake Chief was a noted warrior of the
Witmebagees, and was very much liked by
his tribe. He was a powerful and brawny
fellow, and when sober was peaceful and
good-natured ; when drunk he was ugly and
disagreeable. One of his favorite pastimes,
when in this condition, was beating his
wives.
On Friday last, Snake Chief returned to
his wigwam, and the chief commenced heat
ing her over the head and shoulders. i)ri•
viii to desperation, and unable longer to
stand his brutality, she drew her knitii and
stabbed the chid twice, the blade peuetra•
tiug the heart or the warrior, who died in
stantly while the first notes of the death
song were on his lips. Th e grail- at once
created a sensation among the Winnebagoes,
who did not know how to net. They loved
their Aid, and their chieftain's wife. It is
a well-known "regulation" among the In
dians that when a man is slain, a relative
twist avenge his death by taking the life of
the , lnyer. Se.es.ka knew this. Some of
the Winnehagoes urgad her to fly, but she
would not. With true Indian resignation
she folded her blanket about her and sat
down in her wigwam, riming the door, and
uwaitiri her avenger. It was believed by
many that Ile-nec-kec, the younger and
favorite wife, would be the avenger, but she
seems to have had no such intention. She
mourned the loss of her husband, but took
no steps further than to send a runner up
the Trempeleau, where Seiko Chief's re
felons were, to notify them of what had
taken Maral. Meanwhile Sees-ka ••at in her

On Saturday morning an Indian from
Trempelcan made his appearance in ramp.

evidently traveled without haltinir since he
learned of thii death of Snake Chief: En
tering the camp, without a word. he w a lked

Snake Chief lay, took a long look at it, and
then turned sullenly away. Nobody ..poke

movements. D. liberately loading his gull

took one look at the woman, who loudly
elattitml the death song. Not a not,ile of
the woman's Put moved to denote that she
labored under any excitement, but she sat
there quietly and calmly, her eyes moving
upward, and her yoke, as the uncouth song
escaped her lips, steady and firm. She
knew the avenger was before her—that in
another moment her spirit would leave the
frail tenement of clay and seek that of the
Chief who had gone before her ; yet no look
or sign indicated that she feared the fate.
Such is Indian stoicism and indifference.
The eyes of the two did not meet. In
the face of Chan-no-ne-ga there was a look
of mingled hate and revenge. Deliberately
he raised his musket to his shoulder—de
liberately he aimed at the woman's head—
coolly he fired. The report rang out through
the Indian camp—the smoke cleared away—
Se-es-ka still sat there—her blanket about
her—her arms folded, but one side of her
head was blown completely away—her ..pirit
had fled, and the code of Indian ,justice was

Thrilnuit Adventure With
't ttlesneke.
Last Monday morning, Mr. Richard Ben
nett, a student, who is enjoying a mummer
vneation at his iitther's well-appointed man
&ion, a ' , hurt distance southwebt or Dubuque,
took a volume of Tennyson's poems In his
hand and wandered out , to repose beneath
some reeks which extended a eventful shade,
and also feast his soul upon the poetical
truths and, beatius breath's' forth by the
poet laureate. He Hung himself down up
on thin grass and was soon lost in contempla
tion of kings and princes, shady grottoes,
summer bowers and enchanted land, until
overcome by the themes presented and the
warm weather he fell ahleep,
flow long he lay thus he knew not; it
might have been for hours, but he was $llll
- awakened by a peculiar rustling noise
close beside him. Instinctively he turned
hiR head to the point from whence the sound
proceeded, when be beheld a sight which
tilled him with horror, and which he, if an
ordinary man, will not be apt to forget until
him dying day. There, not four feet from
him, coiled up ts if ready for a spring, with
head erect, eyes darting fire, and tongue
playing like the forked lightning from the
bosom of the elouds, was an ettormut s rat.
tlesmtke, over eight feet in length. It
would be hard to deseribe the feelings of
Bennett at that moment. Fresh and vig
orous, in the spring time of life, the world
with its dazzling future Leture hint, hardly
a stones throw from his rmtiwrion,e,deittii,
in its most terrible Form, had apparently
come upon Lim. His presence of mind
did not desert him, however, and he lay
perfectly motionlegs, fixing his eyes upon
those of his snake hip, and waiting for new
developentents. This appeared to suit
the latter. an dually he relaxed his
menacing attitude, and lowering his head,
Bennett, at the same time emitting a
murmuring, singing sound, which the im
promptu hearer de.eribes as having been
really delightful. Neater and nearer came
the snake, Bennett remaining perfectly nie
tiunless not daring to move fur fear of the
terrible fangs, until filially the monster actu
ally river hi= legs arid nestled down
by his side like a p'et kitten, as much us to
say that he was well pleased with his new
companion, and would forgo hostilities.

Gentlenua rf Jfmtpl, :In addressing

guialied military gentleman in this place
upon a recent occasion. I believe this to be
a free country, and that the people will treat
those with respect who respect the people.
Our objections to the principles of our ad
versaries in this great political campaign is
that they assume too dietorial a tone toward
the people. They denounce me as a revolu
tionist—say that I wish to inaugurate anoth
er rebellion, because I say it is time for the
rule of the bayonet to be checked. (Great
applause.) The people of the Stat e o f ali s •
souri, and the people of the whole country,
are tired of being bound to obey the dictates
of their military commanders. We believe
it is time for the will of the people to be
I carried out. This will be done. (A voice,
"We'll fix that in November.") Yes, we
will settle that in November, and we will do
it peaceably by the ballot. The people are

will allow it. This fragmentary Congress.
and the carpet-baggers that have got into
the State under the auspices of this Rump,
have already attempted to degrade the white
men of all the States to a condition of infe

The people have decided in all those States
where they have enjoyed the privilege of a

tell you that the will of the people shall be
carried out in spite of the designs of these

“Uait hint with a White Wo
man.”
The terrible, shocking, nameless crimes of
the Southern niggers, are a matter 11)r grave
reflection, not wily of the leading minds of
the country, but all Christendom. To speak
out plainly, rapes upon white females by
brutal negroes are of a daily occurrence.—
Horace Greeley and Henry Ward Beecher,
more then nny other individuals in this
country. are the authors of these tapes. Not
long ago, Ward Beecher said in a speech,
"the way to maintain a man in a position is
to take one step before him ; being crafty,
I desire to capture him by guile ; take a
black man, bait him with a white woman,
and I think you will catch the black man."
Was there over a more atrocious or horrible
sentiment uttered by a human being, much
less a clergyman? Pandering to the animal
passions of a half brute, covertly inviting
rapes and murders, has had its fruits. Nig
ger outrages upon white females are of
weekly occurrence, and Beecher and Gree
ley continue to preach up the doctrine of
bating the black man with a white woman,
while Christendom looks on with horror, but
nobody moves to stay the dreadful crimes.
Democratic voters, shrink not from your
duty. Let the consequences be what they
may, Mougrelisu► must be crushed out at all
hazards. The election of Seymour and
Blair will do it.
