MILITARY ORDER.

CHICAGO, March 12.^General Sheridan to-day issued the following order: HEADQUARTERS MILITARY DIVISION or MISSOURI," CHICAGO, March 12.

Geneful Order No. 1.]

The Lieutenant., General commanding this Military division takes great pleasure in announcing to the command the complete success of the Second cavalry and the Thirteenth infantry under command of Brevet Colonel Baker, of the Second cavalry, against a baud of Piegan Indians in Montana. These Indian's, whose proximity to the British line has furnished them an easy and safe protection against attack, have hitherto murdered and stolen with comparative impunity, in defiance and contempt of the authority of the government. After having been repeatedly warned, they have at last received a carefully prepared and well merited bloy in the middle of winter, thermometer below zero. When experience had led them to believe they could not be attacked, the blow fell. One hundred and seventy-three Indians were killed, 300 horses captured, and the village and property of the band totally destroyed.— The Lieut. General cannot commend too highly the spirit and conduct of the troops and their commander, under the difficulties and hardships they experienced in the inclemency of the weather, and as one of the results of this severe, but necessary and "well merited punishment of these Indians, he congratulates the citizens of Montana upon the'reasonable prospect of future security for their property and lives.

By command of Lieut. Gen. Sheridan. [Signed] GEO. L. HARTSUFF, Assistant Adjutant General.

A CRASH AT THE COURT HOUSE. Part of the Iron roof on the new west wing of the Court House fell in this noon, gOrng through to the Seconn floor. The roof was composed of an iron frame work, a very slim affair indeed, upon which slate wasiaid, the weight of which wes evidently too great, and this caused the crash. Seven plasterers at work in the upper story were more or less fatally injured. Their names are, Miles Powers^ Timothy Gilmartin Patrick Johnson, John Long, Gate Burns, Wm. Dermody and John O'Neil. The loss cannot at present be estimated, but undoubtedly amounts to several thousand dollars.— The building has cost the city over three hundred thousand dollars. It was commenced a year ago last fall, and hurried rapidly forward, work being resumed during the winter as o£t«a-«8 the weather moderated a little. Many think there was undue haste to complete U.
