Hornisce Ceverty.—While the prosecution of the {udian war is imbecile, ineffectual, and upon the whole thoroughly disgraceful to the couatry, some wearers vf the Uypited States shoulder straps are distinguishing themselves by acts of brutality which could nut be surpassed by the savages they ure sent to fight. At Fort Sedzwiek «stranger named Hendricks hn. ed for two personsin citizens’ dress, ,ad at their request, a bottle of whiskey. The men were suldiers, and supplying them with liquor 1s forbidden by the rales of the service. Hen- dricks was arrested by order of # Colonel Dodge. Un being brousht befure this milt- tary person, bé, without any trial or investi- gation, was ordered t» receive one hundred lashes: A creature of Dodze—one Lieutenant Luntz, yave immediate attention tu the execu tion of the seuteace. Hendricks was stripped and fastened to sw rudely made cross. Iwo soldiers armed with plaited thongs, were order- ed to whip the unfortunate man, and, under the watchtul eye of Lieut. Luntz, they did whip him vigurously. *A broad, deep red wale marked the spot on which the lash had fallen, but in a second it was lost to sight by strokes which fell thick and fast va the unfortunate man. Gradually the deep red wales assumed a blackish color, aud in # short time crimson drops of blood rolled down the naked legs, filling his shoes, or were splashed over the the clothes of the spectators. Toward the seventy-titth stroke, the flesh sarowad the hips hung in shreds, as if rudely tora by au animal's claws. From the iniddle of the buck to with- ‘in six inches of the kaees, the budy was per- fectly raw and black. The man’s screams were awful; be bounded trom side to side, spasinodically ort aod hung as if lifeless on the cross. His lacerated body was perfect. ly frightful. After 100 lashes had been administered, Lantz gave the signal to desist.’ Geu. Sherman, who is reported to have left Fert Sedgwick two hours before the iutliction of this brutal punishment will oblige the people by investigating the case, and taking care that his department is not again disgraced in a like way.—N, ¥.
