BLACK ILLS EXPEDITION Gold Hunters and Their Adventures in Search of the Precious Metal. NUMBER OF MINERS IN THE HILLS, ceiocptmpene Exaggerated Stories of Gold Becoming a Sad Reality to Many. GOLD-SEEKERS ASKING FOR BREAD Miners Still Pouring Into the Territory and Meeting Disappointment. Camp Harney. July 19, 1876. Gradaatly this region 1s gaining an active and restless population. Itis not, pernaps, composed of the most desirable elements; but of such as | usually precede the substantial settlers, who will Jay the foundations of an imposing community. ‘Were it not for the doubt which hangs over the Tul siatas of these northern lands one could, perhaps, predict with some degree of certainty the character which their tuvure development will assume. ernment, im relation to the white citizens aad to the Indians, that renders the steady and perse- vering influx of adventurers and miners so re- markable. DiMculties of a formidable kind do not dismay them, even with the immediate pros- pect of expulsion by the government, or, as aa alternative, massacre by the Indians. There isa species of neroism in such periious ventures into @ wild and unknown region, owned and jealously valued by savages, against whom the only pos- sible barrier is sturdy seli-deience or conceal- ment iu the rocks or woods, The men who tuus take tueir lives in their hands nd brave deprivations ané aiscomforts of which modern civilization is in blissful ignorance, are » peculiar class. They are never thoughtless or foolhardy, a8 one Would suppose those wao seem to value lie so lightly would be, Constant prox- imity todeaia hss made taem familiar with his erim visage, whose every siern and ghastly linea- ment they Dave studied well, so that it might not | appalltuem. It is doubtful if any Uving indi- viduals of the human race could be better quali- fiea to appraise existence, when dissolution is at bapd, with its glaring contrasts, Yet to them mirth is aiso a familiar compapion, a welcome friend, Wuo does not absent himself im the face of qapnger. Jollity and unconscious courage distin- guish these pioneers, along with many vices which ¢ doubtless first caused their voluntary or involuntary exile irom civilization. THE GOLD HUNTERS. Only a small per cent of the number of emi- grants at present in the Black Hulls are expe- rienced and skiliul miners. This fact 1s surprising, considering the wides advertisement waica this region has had and the sort of passion which af- Oicts ola gold hunters to try jortune in@ew flelds, There are now about six hundred white men, aside rom those comprised in the government expedition, in the Black Hills, Foar times as wany are already organized at various towns and settlements along the Pacific railroads and the Missour: and Viatte rivera, either moving in ‘this direction or awalting tavorabie indications from tndian councis now holding ior the cession of the gold country to the government. \ty of these people have been drawu from various pecupations by the enthusiasm preva- leat thronghous the States and Terri- tories regarding the new discoveries of yoid. Many of tnem nave invested their | Ali in an equipment suitavle to the venture. Hardly a men of substantial fuancial resources | ran be found engaged in the gold nuat. Tuis ts a fact of consideravle significance, especially whea | viewed in conjunction with ovhers which I soall mention hereafter. Nothing but THE POOREST SUCCESS has attended efforts at mining made in this valley in the oid-fasuioned manner, either with pan or rocker. With a praiseworthy spirit of enterprise several of the officers of the expedition have en- deavored to aid the scientists iu their examina tion of the country oy employing parties of menin | prospecting the soll, and by more assiduous labor than any of the miners can boast of, ax soldiers yesterday washed out wita rockers sixty- seven cents apiece, on ue creek, seven miles above this camp. No better average Success bas been achieved by avy one in this , valley since our arrival here. Constant boasts are made by miners of the large quantities of gold which they lave been able Lo wash out of a shovel- ful of Girt; but a test of tneir veracity is very Gasily applied—always with negative results. The demand jor golddust among members of the ex- pedition, who desire to send specimens by mail to their friends, is regular and unremitting, and, were the supply equal to it, Camp Harney would probabiy, have @ miviature Wall street, where purchases and sales would exert an influence on individual limited flaances; but, unfortunately, the miners, Woo speak most extravagantly of the richnesa of the couatrs, never have in their pos- Session any of the precious metal. Whether in- dustry fuils them in seeking to procare it, or | whether their besetting sin 1s indolence, having expected to find riches lying on the suriace, they certainly negatively demonstrate the fact that no profit is derived from tue labor involved-in mining gold by the poor man’s metaods in this region. EXAGGERATED ACCOUNTS. The unconscionable exaggeration of the ricn- hess of the placer diggings here is due te the un- trained imaginations of uneducated and vulgar men, who have become intoxicated at the mere sight of @ few grains of the metal to whose bril- » Mancy their poverty-stricken lives have, for most pavt, been strange. Gold, in their eyes, as long as it 18 not subjected to the test of the delicate troy scaies, assumes 4 fancied vaiue ten times its real. Ia the coarse attributes of a vulgar mind there is a tendency to enlarge upon reality and resort to the petty and contemptible devices of falsehood, The miners whom I have met aver that they desire nothing more than to see a tremendous influx of immigration; and 1s can be justiy in- terred that their stori gross exaggerations, invented with the simple object of inducing othera to join in the searc b for gold. They undoubtedly hope, first, that an overwhelming tide of inva- sion will settie at once and forever, as by a coup de main, the question of the white man’s right to occupy the Black Hills; second, to make their condition safer by gaining armed reinforce- menta with the incoming parties, and third, that the obtaining of food, vols, &e., will be easier if the settlers become numerous as to render profitable the establishment ef stores here and lines Of transportation connecting with commer- cial points. Many of the miners nave come into the mountains with the mere purpose of securing @nd holding the best claims before the bargain with the Sioux for the opening of the country shall be consummated and thus forestall the throng of gold seekers who, they surmise, woufla immediately thereatter rush in. Otvers meant to Bold their own agaiast Indians, and even soldiers, as long as they could, and the more adventurers Joinea them the better countenance would they have. Their meditated purpose of deflance of constitnted anthority has, howeves, been much weakened since the news of CAPTAINS WALKER AND MILLS! SEVERE TREATMENT | of the party led by Gordon reached them, It ts ediess to state, moreover, that their anathe- mas against the officers above mentioned are raust viotent and sincere, Many there are among disinterested persons who view tle event referred to as an unmitigated outrage and an act unwor- thy an officer of the United States army.

They were greeted witn loud cheers from the camp, As the frst rocket ascended, however, several horses lariatted on the glade broke louse and commenced galioping madly about in circles, pny they huddled to- gethérina group and stared fixedly at the fire: from which the rockets were lighted as if fasci- nated, The discharge of the secoud rocket was followed by an empiatic, | umblimg sound, caused by the cattle im the corral, who were greatly frightened and were attempting to jump over tne sides, the herders saddigd their quickly in expectation of giving ‘the Cavairy animals at tne picket lines also grew excited and stamped tne earth heavily, Alarmed at these Manitestations Lhe commanuing oiliver Jorbade the further inaui- gence of au exuberance of patriotism by the dring ol rockets, The rude carnival of tbe camp was continued until midnigit, An improved manage- rie stalked through the tvenues of tents in stately procession ana excited great laughter. Its prin- cipal feature waS an clephant, mounted by a darkey Arab, who poured out volumes of gibber- ish, and was preceded by two mea with flaming tercnes, Curiously enough 1t was observed that the four feet of the elepuant were ciotued in stout cowhide boots, evidently of the army pattern, So passed the anniversary of the Declaration of In- | dependence in the Black Huls. THE AMERICAN CENTENNIAL. ENGLISH ANTICIPATIONS CONCERNING THE PHILA- DELPHIA EXHIBITION—THE ENERGY OF THE | PEOPLE OF THE NEW WORLD LIKELY TO RI- DEEM THE APATHY OF THE OLD. {From the London Times, July 24.] We publish to-day in our outer sheet an account of the wonderful preparations that are being made at Philadelphia for the International Exhibition of | 1876. We Europeans remember with somewhat mingled sensations a great many exhibitions. A | Generation has arisen waich knows not the first of the series, in 185i—tbat which used to be spoken of pre-eminently as “The Great Exuibi- | tion’’—and the display in Paris in 1855 is also re- ceding mto the background of time. But there was a grand show in London in 1862, and siuce then the indefatigable people at South Kensington have been always ready to provide something Vafyilg in quantity or quality accoruing to circuinstances, put calied by the name of “iuternational Exhibi- tion,” aud grranged after the received models. With the displays of Paris in 1867, and that of Vienna in 1873, the type of the tmternational ex- hipition seems to have received the, utmost devel- opment of which it is capable. here are limits to human pleasure ana baman endurance, and there is @ point beyond which bugeness and upiversality must fail of producing any turther effect. At mana the visitor, dropping with favigue, 10st in the endiess ‘ramfiications of courts and galleries, utterly bewildered with the multitude 01 objects presented to uim, from the masterpieces of modern art vo pyramids of candies and trophies of mustard pots, might well | think thay he had had enough of exhibitions | to last Dim for the term of bis natural lite. ‘The enormous cost of this last enterprise and the disappointments which attended it may be con- sidered to have brought the European series of international exhibitions 10 a close for the pres- ent. A great See organizing such a display would feel bound to go peygud the latest and most elaborate example, aud in Eurvpe tuere'is not much enthusiasm for so costly arivairy. Peo- | ple generally feel that the idea has been over- worked, and they are content with that exhioie ‘pition of industry which is always open without payment to wuoever walks along the Boulevards or Regent street. The turn of the New World has now come, Next year the Americans will celebrate the hun- dredth ambiversary of the Declaration of Inde- pendence. ‘hey desire that the memory Ol this great event sbould be associated with some im- posing spectacie in the city where the represent- au of the thirteen colonies met, and nething see! so suitable as an insernational exhibi- tion, Such an enterprise is appropri- ate, for the foundation of the Re- public presents itself to the American pegple as the beginning oi a new order of things ior the world at iarge, snd, as every one knows, an in- ternational @Xhivition is assumed to be the ma- terial expression of human irateruity and gooa will, Moreover, an exhibition is a celebration very Well suited to the occasion and the people, NeXt year 18 the centenary of the nation’s birth, and every citizen may feel a desire to take part in the commemoration. But a pageant which lasts but @ single day and is celebrated ata sin+ je place can be Witnessed by only a@ very small Part of the population, There are, as our cor- respondent reminds us, 45,000,000 people im the United States. Tne city of Pailadelphia itself contains $00,000 inhabitants, and Within @ rading of twenty miles there are as many more. ‘There gre 5,000,000 people 100 miles of thé Exhibition, an Within 200 miles Of it. ‘There are 170,000 miles of raiiway, and tae population is one ot greater mobility than auy other in the world,’ “It is estimated that one-tenth of the population will Visit the Exhibition, aud thonsands will go again and again.” fiere, tnen, will be an enter- tainment, lasting for montns, in which every ene having a few doliara to spare can Four by ‘is curiosity, increasing bis knowledge up a number of he visits Repablic and takes part in @ celebration the memory of which will ever linger pleasantiy with wim. To carry this design into xveution the Americ: have set to work with characteristic energy, and the descriptions given by our correspondent show that tae work is tur ther advanced than in the case of aay similar terprise in Hurope. But the constructions a 0 extensive, and some Oi them are plauned with so ambitious'a view to darability, tuat the time is certainly not too long for their dae completion, The Exhipition ts lortuuate in baving such a site as Fairmount Park, It now remamas to be seen whether the standard of the objects exnivited will be correspoadingly high, It is to this point that the Americans must direct tueir energy if they wish to make their Ex- Their own pro- ducts are utilitarian rashe: artistic, and tae character these present is sufficientiy known from the American sections of European exhibi- tions, Some ingenious ptations of machinery anda variety of cheap aud able products of manufacture will make the chief show in the nalis aud galleries reserved to itself by a nation whien is stil chiefly agricultural, The manuface turers and tradesmen of Kngland and France, Germany and Belgium, may be depended upon to send great quantities of their wares, and, no doubt, of good quality im te trade sense of she word, But we have noticed im recent Exhibitions an increasing tenaency to turn the building into @ place for tae common vulgar ad- vertising of tradesmen’s goods, without the to what is supposed to be fur- siigntest regard thered by an exhibition—scientific improve. Thistic excellence, Ingenuity Of process, or tradesman 1s allowed to bave a men’ | the like, stand @ dozen fee wolen you may Street, Without @ si them, the public feels nature Of these disphays, and is repelled accordingly. It the Americans can do sometaing to remedy this, ii they can not only bring valuavie works of art to their picvare mye bat make some selection from the masi of merchanal: ad ani will be shipped to Philadelphia by enterprising firms, they will do something to | re A oe usefulness and popularity of iuduer val as.
