The following was received at mili tary headquarters hern to-day: Fort Laramie, September 16. Gen. K. C. Drum, Chicago, 111.: The following dispatch has just been re ceived from Gen. Crook: "Headquarters of Big Horn and Yel lowstone Expedition, Camp near Owl Creek, Dakota Territory, September 15 Gen. Sheridan Chicago: Marched fioin Hart river, passing a great many trails of Indians going down all the different streams. They are apparent ly working their way in towards the different agencies. Although sumo of the trails seemed fresh, our animals were not in coudition to pursue them. From the north fork of Grand river I sent Captain Mills, of the Third caval ry, with 150 men, mounted on our strongest horses, to go in advance to Dead wood to procure supplies of pro visions. On the evening of the 8th, near the Slim Buttes, he Jdiscovered a hostile village of thirty lodges, and lay by there that night and attacked them by surprise yesterday morning, capturing the village, some prisoners aud a number of ponies, and killing some of the Indians. Among the In dians was Chief American Horse, who died from his wounds after surrender ing to us. Our casualties were slight, but among them was First Lieut Lutte wits, of the Third cavalry, wounded seriously in the leg and knee, since am putated. In the village were fund, besides great quantities of dried meat and ammunition and army guide, por tions of officers and non commissioned officers uniforms, and other indications that the Indians of this village had narticiDated in the Custer Massacre. Our main column got up about noon that day, and was shortly after attack ed by a considerable body of Indians, who" the prisoners said belonged to the village of Crazy Horse, who was camp ed somewhere between their own vil lage and the Little Missouri River. This attack was undoubedly made under the supposition that Capt. Mill's command had received reinforcements. The prisoners further stated that most of the bestil Indians were now going into the agencies, with the exception of Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, with their immediate followers. Crazy Horse intended to remain near the headwaters of the Little Missouri, and about half of Sitting Bull's band, num bering from sixty to one hundred lodges, had gone north of the Yellow stone, while the remainder of that band, with some San Arcs, Minne conjous and LTncpapas, had gone in the vicinity of Antelope Buttes, there to fatten their ponies and to trade with the Rees and others. I place great reliance on the statements. From other corrobatory evidence which I have, these Indians, with Sitting Bull, will amount probably to three or four hundred lodges, and in my judgment can rery easily be struck by Gen. Ter ry's column, provided it go in light marching order, and keep under cover. Our prisoners also in their conversation fully confirmed in every particular my opinions as already telegraphed you. We had a very hard march here from Heart river. For eighty consecutive miles we did not have a particle of woo4 nothing but a little dry grass, which was insufficient even to cook coffee for the men. During the greater portion of the time we were drenched by cold rains, which made traveling very heavy. A great many of the animate cave out and had to be abandoned; the others are now in such a weak condition that the greater number of them will not be able to re sume the campaign until aftr a reas onable rest. I should like to have about 500 horses, preferable the half breed horses, raised on th Laramie plains or in the vicinity of Denver and acclimated to this country. I intend to carry oat the programme mentioned in my last dispatch via. Ft. Lincoln, and shall remain in the vicinity of Deadwood until the arrival of my wagon train. (Signed.) Geo. Ckook, Brig. Gen.

At no stage was there any hostility mani fested by the democracy to this clause, and it was finally passed by both hous es in 1873 without division. In 1872 it was not acted upon by the senate, but in the house, after a lengthy and animated debate upon other sections, and after the declaration by Mr. Mc Neely a democratic member from Illi nois, that "as a member of thecQmro.it tee on coinage, weights and measures, having carefully examined every sec tion and line of this bill, and generally well understanding the subject, he thought the bill eught to pass."

Thompson, the present Principal of our State Normal School, is a man somewhat above forty years of age, of pleasant address, easily winning the confidence and respect of his students through the hearty interest be takes in their welfare. He graduated at Westminister Col lege, Pennsylvania, in 1859. He spent his early vears teaching district school, but after graduating he was for two years Professor of Mathematics in his Alma Mater. He was for five years, countv super intendent of Crawford County, Pa., a county containing more than 60,000 in habitants, and nearly 400 schools. During this time he examined more than 500 teachers yearly. He was for four years city superintendent of the public schools of Meadville, Pa., and afterwards was vice principal of the State Normal School in Edinboro, Pa, for three years. In 1867 West Virginia organized her first State Normal School, and the State Superintendent of that State wrote to Superintendent Wickersham, of Penna. asking him to recommend a good man for principal. Mr. Wickersham recom mended Prof. S. lt. Thompson, and the board elected him. He was connected with that school three years, but his health failing, he was compelled to re sign. Coming to Nebraska, rather on a visit to his wife's parents, than with any intention of making this State his permanent home, he was electad Pro fessor of Agriculture in our State Uni versity, where he remained nntil elect ed to his present position. Prof. Thompson is one of the best in stitute workers east or west. He has spent a portion of each fall for several years in Pennsylvania, reciving as high as 125 per week, and in some instances 980.50 per day for his services. He has worked in Nebraska in teach ers institutes since he has been here, perhaps more than 50 weeks, and nev er received a cent for his services. Pi of. Thompson is an earnest, enthu siastic teacher, with most advanced ideas of teaching every way fully up i to the times. He is a thorough schol : ar, a man of broad and elevated view. : sensitive to a fault in all that would 1 render him subject to criticism. He is : greatly beloved by .ill his pupils, and ; w ins the respect of all with whom, he ! has had any intercourse. He is thor ! oughly in sympathy with every move ; ment that will tend to elevate the pub lic schools. He is now spoken of as a candidate for the State Superintendency. Nebras ka will do herself honor by selecting him. There is no other man so well fitted every way. in the State for that position, and it will be fortunate for the people if he s placed at the bead of her educational interests. Journal. BEER, ETC . ETC , 4fTt Capture of Tour of the Northfleld Bank Bobbers. St. Paul, Sept. 21. The Pioneer Press has a special from Madelia, Watonwon county, Minneso ta, announcing the capture of four of the Northfield robbers. The four cap tured are those lost track of in timber around Mankato, two of whom are sup posed to be the noted Younger broth ers. They were captured after a hard chase and brisk interchange of shots. They were considerably hurt, one of them seriously. Later The woonded robbers have confessed to the sheriff that they are the Younger brothers, but refuse to give the name of the dead comrade. The following is a powerful descript ion by the Boston Traveler: "The scene is a frightful one in the New York bell towers during storms of lightning. i The current will dash around among the wires; the steel handle of the lev er which rings the bell has to be cov ! ered, and the towers will swing two ; feet in the wind." This is really far ' within the actual facts. At such mo ments the bell-rope has to be greased ; the buildings all around the shot-tow-ers have had metalic roofs put on to preserve them from injury when the i towers wave around in a gale, and only recently the spire of Trinity Church bent down till the top of it stuck into . the pavement in the middle of Wall street. 2T-.

Editors Post: While the grass hoppers are among us, it may not be amiss to make public suh information as may be had concerning the best methods of avoiding their ravages. In Cass county, Iowa, last week, an old resident of over a dozen years stand ing in that county, said that the grass hoppers ravRged that county eight years ago. and deposited their eggs, as they are doing there and here, now. He said that in all fields that were plowed after the eggs were deposited, either in the fall or in the spring, no eggs hatch ed out in the spring Since my return. I had a conversa tion with an intelligent farmer of this County, whose name has now escaped me, and I related to him what I heard in Iowa. He then said that in the spring of 1875, he and some of his neighbors noticed that such fields as had been plowed before the advent of the grasshoppers the year before, were full of young hoppers in the spring, and that in such as had been plowed afterward no young hoppers appeared. There nay be something in these two shreds worth attention, and for such purposes I submit them. Yours, etc, M. B. C. True. Senator Paddock, of Nebraska, was serenaded at Glens Falls, N.
