A few of 'the many . incidents that forcibly illustrates the inhuman nature of these red fiends, have cone under my netiee.' Of some of them I will briefly speak : Three years, ago a,party of twenty men with eight loaded wag ,ims, left the Missouri Elver on a long journey across the great Plains and prairies -that 'stretched ',unbroken' . be fore us to the base of the Rocky Moun t ' tains, six Winifred and 'fifty miles dis taut. Six long weeks were passed be fore we reached the mountains whose glittering snow-capped peaks we first beheld •Wheloane hundred and sixty, miles front their base. Our journey led us up-the Platte valley where for a dis tance of more than two hundred miles the Indians two years before had swept dOwn with ten thousan warriors, and with the exception of vo Government posts too strong tohe aken, the entire distance had been swept of every ves tige of life. There - only blackened Walls wer& left to tell the spot where once stood-ranclnens' homes,loften - - s - o bearieg the names inerher of the family, told where the - remains of those who had been killed, were laidhY the hands of strangers. Many ,trains llins were captured—the owners ordri yen" in every instance were killed, ,and scalped. In one place a single board bore thishilef inscription : " Here - are buried the bodies of thirty-one men killed by the Arapahoes, July 6, 1864." j We had traveled several, days through the most daugerbus region without see ing all Indian, and began to hope, as the several tribes Were then assembling at Fort Laramie to 'make _ti. new treaty, we would pass through their- country .without trouble. Bat insthis hope we were' disappointed, Mr - when corraled for the night near the :junction of the north- and South , Platte signal fires were, seen on.the bluffs that to ; the ex= perieced frentiersmen in our prty was readily recognized ns a means of commu nication wit different bands. One pe culiar trait in the character of the Plain Indians is that they , will never attack 'the whites in the night.. This fact was well known to the leader of our party who, having stationed 1.19 in the best position for defence, calmly await ed the coming of day-light. Just as the first faint rays of the coi i inn. were visible in the east, a,dark line of horsemen was seen slowly encircling' our camp. Their object evidently was to surprise us while asleep, as•they rode slowly and insiience up , to within two hundred yards of our camp, when with demoniac ' - whoops , and shouts they charged upon its, Then rder and horse went down before the tream of fire .1 that leaped from under bur wagons, and for a few minutes the rapid dis charge of firearms, the loud snorting of our frightened plUnging mules, - the cheers and yells of our own men min gled with the whoops and howls of the :savages, combined to .produce a sound that once heard is never forgotten. The Indians with their arrows or imperfect -firearms; could not long contend with our one-twentieth their number,' armed us we were with. revolvers and repeat ing rifles, and protected in a measure by our wagons; and having quickly gathered up their fallen warriors, -they were soon fleeing across the plains, leaving where they fought several dead or wounded . ponies. Those' yet alive were soon put out of pain, as were some. 01 our own draft:tnannals that had been hit with tu'rews or bullets. One of our men had received a musket ball in the head froM which the life blood wawfast 'flowing. Two others were also,wound ed but with arrows. Poor Bernard had endeared himself -to us all for his noble heart and nattily nature, and as we thus saw the life 7 eurrent . flew over his white forehead, it seemed as though the life of a brother. was passing from us. Very many days WQ had journeyed, to gether, and at evening as we rested on 1 ) the same blanket, and looked up. Into the starlit heavens he told me i his 3broken accents of his home , across, the ocean, from which he had c Me, hoping to find in a new. free land a home for * himself and his widowed mother. But now ho was dying, and just us the, red sun rose from out its prairie ' home we Jigged a rude grave and laid therein the.torm,we had learn- ed to love,%urned a fire over the spot the more effectually to hide his grave lest his inhuman murderers should come and Mutilate the remains, and then moved on our dangerous, weary journey. No tear was shed by the rough, sunburnt men who performed this last simple ohice for the dead, but the flashing eye and firm set lip told that'in their memory was recorded another dead_ that should be avenged' on tlioe who curse the earth with, their presence. :At the time of the attack on Our train thin same band was. on their way to Fort Laramie for the purpose of making a treaty of peace with our- gov ernment. Weeks - later, in , reply to a letter sent- across the ocean, 'mune one from the Rector of his parish; stating that when the widoWed mother learned 'the,degth of him oal withal she had tinidiy hoped to lean' in her, declining years, she , sickoited and died, sorrowing for her lust oi More.than't "o years agd official work tock me;, to a I cality about one bun died mitesio- th southeast of Denver, where in what• ev• ently was . once the bed of an extensive inland lake, now ; quite• dry. about a dozen families had Made •a• settlement, and though con stantly exposed ,to the inroads Of the savages, the advantages ,derived 'frOin the very fertile soil for their grain and !unlithited extent of rich grazing land for their Herds of Cattle andhorses in- AuCed them. to retualti,.trusting to their and, bravery,- for safety even In time of.

A-tow-weeks ago I stood on a bluff . 1 overlooking that:once Oconiii4 but the eye searchetk in vain for the homes,and herds of the , •man.--- - Torch and tomahawk in the rdd fiends' • handsliad been at work, and now, not tt'veMige of the settlerS' labor was left.

If - this thing continues :kinger we will have to forever abandon our homes, for-we arenot able to fight In; dians and prejudice' too.' Last year my- wife was killed and scalped before my eyes,, my daughter carried away,. is lloW a captive in \ the Cheyenne canip, and kept for a. purpose , that would make the-news Of her death welcome. ' - " Yesterday, in attempting to recovere some horses that the curses were driv ing off, my only son was shot; last evening I buried-him alone." Sobs Choked the old -mun's further utterance ; he Mutely pointed to anew made grave a few yasds diStant, then bowed his head and - tot aloud. A score of such instances, each hav ing come under my own observation, or learned from others of undoubted authority, might be related, but these given will convey a fair index to the I whole. It would be only a repetition of; facts wherein the weak or unprepar ed whites have met horrid; deaths at tife hands of the inhuman fiends who have not one generous motive, cannot be learned one of the advantageS of i2ation, except -to - further learn • the science of destroying our race, who di-, -redly cost our tax-payers caah year more itione,y_than would buy tor every . ;maimed soldierAl - thelate war a silver limb for, the one; lost, whOiff - theug_LQ, all that is noble and brave by many, east ern people who believe every_ Indian a Modal of grace and honor. Let 'any man who believes the Indian to be that which the imagination of Cooper has made him, is capable - of 'a single re deeming qualityi, come and' see him •in all his filth And degradation ' his ignorance and cruelty, his persistent, efforts to destroy t, hose who. would ad: vanee the arts and sciences, and if lie shall discover__ a process by which -the normal condition - of tbe red man can be benefitted, he will impart-informa , tion not now known or understdOd. - --11 he believes the picture of-their cruelty is overdrawn, let him come and see. it Written in characters of blood as the green sward is dyed with the life-cur rent of Mother and child , , Read it at night as the sky is made red with the flames of the slain settler's burning home, and hear it spoken iby the howl ing wolf as he holds his horrid . carni val over the ,remains of the mangled dead. 10 . 6, Many and strange tqe the forms given to objects by the mirage often seen on these vast plains, usually at the rising and setting of the sun. The rays of light, then passing obliquely through strata of atmosphere of different dens ity, causes objects below the sensible horizon to be brought to view, but so strangely changed iii form that they bear but slight resemblance to the real image. At tunes rough irregular,masses of rock, otherwise invisible are thus produced, but frequently bearing so close a resemblance to large cities with their streets, spires and towers, so clear ly defined that the beholder can readily imagine r ite is looking at the works of art, and not the productions of refracted rays of light. As ' the sunlight falls more directly on the locality the illusion vanishes until, ,under certain favorable conditions of- the atmosphere the phe nomena is repeated. But the sun .need not of a necessity be near the horizon tO produce a like result, as often at mid day the strangely altered Jib and ap pearance of objects are freqnently noted. The countless number of polished grains.of sand that form the surface of the plains, where uncovered by vegeta- I tion, act as reflecting media, and the rising heated air carries with it the im age of whatever object may boon the surface. I have seen ail an teloe at the distance of half a mile, that was appar ently thirty feet in height ; the listen ish men t "ot those who for the first time witness the strange sight, is unbounded, especiully,if the anintal passes from the barren ground to a grass covered spot when it in an instant assumes its - true proportions. At, other times while as cending a slight elevation, large forests will raise on the crest 'with dark green foliage and waving branches, though there be no wind, but at our approach the pleasant picture would vanish'' and leave in its place a few dry weeds two or three feet in height. Lakes, whose wale's of silvery brightness, stretch away farther than the Lie can reach, with waves washing shores on whose margin arc closely reflected the forixis of overhanging - trees and bushes ou the banks, are looked on almost:with super stition, certainly with wonder, as they ever recede as we advance • and the mocking delusion has been, die cause of suffering, and often death, of the thirsty traveler who vainly 'endeavors to reach the phautomAvater and allay the thirst that at last produces a inaulaWs-death. Many are the adventures related .by men on the border, and - by trii,velers in many lands, of the deception practiced on them ,by the ,mirage. A (practical illustration of it once. conViticed• me, that seeing 12 . n0t always befieVing.— Two years two while 61144e:el ' on the govern ineutsurveys we journeyed kip the valley of 7 ttio, Arkansas above f(he Al ex teen town of Pueblo, KnoWint , tit}) night camp Would bo - Made the raise of a rocky butte in, plain view a fewl miles distant., and ,wishing to have; teloPe steak for supper, an assistant and myself started wlth our rifles for the table lands above , the where , we expected, to find : oor game. Thoto-• arls of these graceful animals 'were glazing there whew wo reached the plateau, but their keen scent warned them of danger; and a couple. of pours Were spent in the vain attempt to a,p preach near enough for'ashot.
