The bill to aid the State of Missouri TO eman-
cipate was then taken up.
Mr.. SALISBURY proceeded to address the
Senate In opposition to the bill. He thought
this was not proper timo for such measures,
but the difficulties of the country seem TO have
been taken advantage Of to secure emancipa-
ton. He contendcd at some length that there
was no authority In the Constitution for any
appropriation of money for such purposes. II
was a proposal TO States 20 surrender thor
rights, and other States In this way might be
bTibcd 10 surrender their rights 10 the General
Government and thus destroy our present form
of Government and make centralized despot'
ism.

PENNSYLVANIA CENTRAL RAIL:
ROAD

We SEQ it stated that J. Edgar
Thompson, President Of the Pennsyl-
vania Central, is about to 80 to Europe
to accept a position rendered him by
the Emperor of Russia, similar to that
which he now holds. This is high
compliment to the efficient manner in
which the Central has been conducted,
the credit Of which is due in no small
degree to President Thompson. Should
he leave temporarily, the management
Of the road will continue a. heretofore !;
as the General Superintendent, Enoch
Lewis, Is devoting to it his best cner-
giss. The attention of Western pas
ssngers and shippers is called to the
advertisement of the Central, published
in another column, and they can rest
assured that it affords the finest facili.
ties for their accommodation.

DRY GOODS IN NEW YORK.

The New York Independent of the
18th, has the. following dry goods
resume which will be interesting to
many:
The market is dull but steady. There
is = slight demand for goods from the
into rior. Stocks are very light and
held by strong parties. Brown sheet.
ings and ,hirtings have advanced, and
blc.cl,ed goods are also buoyant. Drills
are quiet but 6rm, with limited sup
ply. Desirable kinds of cotton dannels

strong upward tendency, and little
more activity will surely send prices up.
DENNIS are inactive. There is a fair
demand tor cottonades. Prints are
without activity, but very firm. Spring
goods are not expected till January.
Woolens are also less active, but With a
light supply, prices ate strong De-
LANES are in light stock, and but a
small production is apparent. Spring
goods are in moderate course of pro-
duction, manufacturers being DESTROYS
to control prices BY Keeping the market
rather under supplied. In fancy cas-
simeres there has been general clear
ing OF lots, a: full prices, leaving the
market quite. bare. Flannels and
blankets are scarce and wanted. Doe
skins are in steady demand aud the
clothing trade has been buying cotton
warp cloths. Shawls are dull, except
for plaids. Imported goods arc in good
supply, the arrivals being large. The
clothing houses appear the chief buyer,
of staple goods: The principal inquiry
is for Italian cloths coburgs, and black
lusters. Fancy goods are at present
neglected. A few spring goods have
been readily taken. Black silks IRE
very dull aud are rather low in price.
Desirable grades Of dress silks alone are
wanted. The better kind of mantilla
velvets are scarce and wanted. Rib
bons are without inquiry. Broadclotha
are in moderate request Linens are

Official dispatches have been recoiv-

which the following is a synopsis:

the lower bands, headed by Little
Six" and "Medicine Bottle" Little
Crows sony were near St. Joseph, on
their way to Fort Garry, marched At
the head Of one hundred and sixty
mon of his battalion to attack them
After proceeding twenty-three miles,
it was ascertained that the Indians had
succeeded in crossing the line and were
encamped on British soil, where they
could not be followed BY our forces, the
order from Washington prohibiting any
invasion Of foreign territory by our for
ces. Other bands were seeking refuge
in the same direction, but "Standing
Buffalo and "Sweet Corn" express a
determination to make peace, and have
sent messengers to NJ. jor Hatch &C.

other party Of miner. that left shortly

From their account, given in the
Press, We copy the substance Of the en-

The miners, anticipating trouble,
were we'll armed aud in addition to
sluan arms, bad 4 small cannon. At
the mouth Of Heart River, . party Of
Yaoktonnais Sioux came along the bank
and beckoned them to come to the shore.
They responded by firing the cannon
three times, the Indians returning the
fire vigorously. The continuous frc Of
the cannon caused the boat to spring a
leak, and but for that unfortunate cir
cumstance they might have escaped.
The Indians we've driven back from the
shore, but renewed the attack dnd du.
ring the second fight the boat leaked
so badly that it sunk in shallow water
They were then ovcrpowered and mur.
dercd.
Mr.. Fields wife vas taken prisoner
but the lodians quareling IS to who
should have her for his wife, the con
trore'ey was ended by shooting her.
Two of the children were killed and
the third was taken to the Sioux camp
where it cried itself to death.
All OF the bodies were scalped; and
t"ose who had heavy whiskers we're
further mutilatcd by these being torn
off. The bodies were then left lying
on the sand bar where they fell and
and were still lying there when the sec
ond party left Fort Berthold.
The Indians acknowledged that the
miners fought desperately and admit
that they killed thirty six and wound
cd thirtJ-6ve.
The unfortunate victims had between
eighteen and twenty thousand dollar
in gold dust and money, which
