TROUBLE AMONG THE UNITED
STATES INDIANS,
A despatch from Guide Igels dated Bank opposite Cow Island Montana, even: ing of the 24th says: The Nez Perc.8
crossed at noon on the 23rd and at night
attacked Sergeant Molchert and twelve soldiers, but the latter being in rifle pits drove the Indians away. Joseph and his band are heading up Cow Creek in the direction of the pass between Bear Paw and Little Rockies, [here were about 300) Indian warriors. who charged the soldiers several times, but were repulsed with some loss. The Indians burned the freight pile containing thirty tons of Government
property and 200 tons of private freight. Two trains of citizens on the way to Benton will probably be attacked by Joseph. The guide says the Indians are getting across the mountains to Canada as fast as pos- sible. They had about 200 horses with them. They abandoned only two horses in one day. No one is in pursuit. No soldiers or Crow Indian; are after them. ‘“‘T will cross at daylight and get on the road to protect what I can: Lieut. Hard- ing has joined me with 280 men and a howitzer. I suggest that trains be stopped from coming this way for the present.’ Fort Suaw (Montana) despatch of the 27th
‘refers to the above and says no doubt
Joseph and his hand have escaped to Cana: da and joined Sitting Bulls The Commis- sion is at Fort Shaw awaiting an escort to Sitting Bull. A despatch from ” Mussel River, the 20th, states that Howard and Sturgis met and joined forces that day and were then to make s push through Judith Basin for Joseph. A despatch from Silver city, New Mexico, says that between 400 and 600 Apache warriors, with squaws and pappooses, have left San Carlos Reserva- tion and ‘slong the Gila river, they have killed twenty people and burned ranches
Nine bodies were buried at Silver City on the 13th, and great excitement prevails there. The people are arming, thirty armed citizens have gone from Clifton Arizona, to meet the savages, and thirty more from Silver City,. Sixty more go as soon a8 arms. are received. A San An
tonio despatch says Lieutenant Bullis has gone into Mexico, struck the Indian and Mexican cattle thieves at Saragossa, and is believed to have taken that town. (fficial despatches confirm the news of a skirmish with Joseph’s bandon the 23rd, and his probable escape to Canada on the 24th. Also that Lieutenant Bullis chased horse thieves to Saragossa, Mexico.

A PLEA FOR THE NEEBING HOPEL.
The talk about the Neebiag Hotel is now declared to be ail nonsense. The price was fixed by two valuators over whom the government had no control, and, what is more, there is a letter extant from Mr. Adam Oliver, stating (hat he is wiiling to purchase the hotel back from the govern- ment for the same amount of money they paid for it. We sheuld not be surprised to learn that Mr. Oliver and the govern ment would each give the amount of the purchase money to have the whole trans*
action buried in oblivion. But Mr, Oliver need not tempt a frea and enlightened people to part with that botel. Regarded merely as an hotel it might possibly be re. placed, but as a monument to the memory of an economiqsl government it will ip future years be beyond all price. These “slabs and culls from Oliver’s mill ”’ wil] speak with mute eloquence to rising gen
erations of the sturdy virtues of their forefathers, before the love of peif and other selfish vices had crept in to pollute the civilization of the age to which the aforesaid iising generations belong. Let that hotel stand as the property of the people of Canada, in al! the unique glory of its “slabs and cuils,” with its noble stovepipes towering through the ceiling in all their graceful rotundity, held in aceur. ate vertical alignment by lateral wires of deft arrangement, and by the effectiveness of their draught making roaring protest against the effeminacy of chimneys. It is tiuethat this hotel is rough, but, as the American lawyer said, in behalf of his client, ‘‘so are our bears.” There is evix dence to favor the ‘belief that, like that elient, it is ‘‘a child of liberty’ and that its “ home is by the bright setting sun,” or somewhere in that neighborhood. If Mr. Adam Oliver’s patriotism is of the gener
ous dimensions which the fancy of his friends has painted it he will not seek to deprive the people of Canada of their fee simple in the Neebing Hotel. Let him keep his $5,900, but let bim leave us the hotel. The architectural plan of it is not filled out in all its details, it is true, but very little comparatively remains t») be done.

THE © FARMERS STRIKE’ IN MISSISSTPPT,
It seems that the « working«man”’ is not to be allowed a tnonopoly of strikers : farmers, also, are beginning to try their hand atthem. [or many years past they have been quarreliing with merchants in M ssissippi State in regard to their busi« ness relations, and just now the bicker. ings are going on with such vigour that the Southern papers characterize the cons dition of affiirs as virtually a “ strike” on the part of the tarmers, The position taken, to say the least, very closely res sembles tradee.union in its worst phases. Uhe farmers, it appears, g9 into debt for their supplies upon an agreement to pay out of the proceeds of their crop. They say they were compelied to pay an exors bitant price for provisions, and have re- taliated by forming a sort of league for the purpose of forcing the merchants to re+ ceive cotton at a corresponding price in settlement. ‘I'he farmers demand for their cotton a price fixed by themselves regardless of the market price of the staple. On the other hand the merchants say it costs them 25 per cent of their ad- vances for interest and inevitable losses and expenses, and if they receive cotton ‘n payment at more than the market price they will lose not only their profits but a part of their capital. In the meantime, the merchants have lines on the farmers’ crops for supplies, advanced at prices which, however excessive, the “greed to pay when they obtained the goods. The enforcement of the hens the latter seem * determined to resist. with whatever force may be necessary.

The coolness with which Mr. Blake's speech has been received by the Reform Press indicate pretty clearly the fact that Mr. Blake is an inconvenient ally.

His very pretences to superior virtue have all been made at the expence of Kis colleagues ; and his ideas of Reform ae been so. far directed against his own par y.
A Man Kints Himeetr ror Firry Cents, —At the upper lock, in Carillon canal, a few days ago, a young man by the name of Charron was passing, when two or three men were trying to turn the windlass to lift the sluice-gate, which ji; very hard to do, The young man said in a boast, ‘it you will give me fifty cents, | will lift it alone.” The offer was accepted, the money paid, when he took hold of the crank, anc by his strength did the work and got the money. Ashort time after he Said to a friend, *‘I have killed myself for fifty cents.’ He died in about ten days. This ought to be a warning to all not to try their strength foolishly, —Lachyic Wateles man,

The ZVimes’ Madras correspondent says the registered deaths of the present year to the end of June were 370,000 above the average.
