INDIAN TROUBLES.

New ORLEANS, November 3.-Tha In
dams have appeared in Baudera county,
Texas, and are driving in the settlers.
The crops in that portion of the coun.
try are nearly all gathered; more has
been saved than was expected, but cotton
is still very short.
ST. LOUIS, November 1.-Two Mack

hostilities on the upper Missouri.
CHICAGO, November Am Omaha

to Ash Hollow, and retook part of the
stock, and killed five indians. At Valley
Station three hundred lodges of Indians
were seen with their families. The
braves said they intended to come back
to fight the whites. The Indians attacked
Chamberlain 4 Co. station, at the cross
ing of Laramie river, on the Cheyenne
pass road, killed and scalped two men

the utmost extent possible, the War De
partment has called for 81, 900 iron heac
blocks for the National cemeteries. Each
head block is TO be nine inches wide BY
twelve long, with an inscription Of the
name, rank, regiment, army, company
and corps of the sleeper beneath, with
the date of his DEATH
The monthly statement of the public
debt will not be published for several
days.
1t is denied by both the President and
the Secretary of War that they have
given any orders to General Sheridan
not to arrest any of the parties accused
of committing murders on the 18th of
July in New Orleans.
1t will be recollected that several days
ago the ex-Secretary of the Interior, Mr..
Harlan, published a defense of his sale
of the Cherokee neutral land to the
American Emigrant Company, of Con-
necticut This morning Gen. Thomas
Ewing, jr., replies to that gentleman,
denying that he stated to Mr.. Harlan
that if these lands were sold as the lands
of the Sacs and Foxes, he and his friends
could make money out of the tranac
ton. The main point in the protest of
himself and John w. Weight, attorneys
for the Cherokee Indians against the sale,
was that according to the treaty, if the
lands we're to be held at all, without ap-
praisement and advertisement and COM
petition bids, they were to be sold in
body for cash. The General replied ut
length to other portions of Mr. Harlan's

There is not a Conservative officer elected

Conservative The election Of yesterday
in that State was a torrent of radi-
calism which nothing could resist.
1t developed the burning hate
with which her people regard the South.
1t developed the flashing fire, the blast
ing lightning with which they would an
initiate us. 1t developed what had been
supposed to be dying TO be not only not,
but gathering newness of life and addi-
tional sinews of strength-the old war
feeling. That State is more angry now
than she was during the war. She was
not angry sufficiently then to fill
her quota at home, or send her
GARRIsoxs and PHILLIPsEs forth armed
aud equipped to the front She sent to
Belgium for heroes to carry her flag and
uphold her honor. She wanted to re-
cruit along the trail of SHERMAY's army,
she was so poor in valor at home. She
thought it handsome for the Western
troops 10 capture Southern negroes and
land them over to her to be armed and
turred loose against their late masters
But that officer could not, in the
slang Of the day, see it," He
put flea in the ear of the
BurLERs and BASKsEs. But When i
comes to voting against the South, sh'
wants no foreign assistance. She can d.
all that. Then it is that every inhabit
ant is hero, and not afraid to marcel
up to the polls and fire off his ballot a
the rebels. She wants perpetual hostil
ity with the South. She hates the in
stincts of our people, and regards thei
presence on the earth as menace Il
her principles and an affront to he
honor. Thus she stands, while the fool
of the South are enriching her.

War THREATENED.

Our foreign advices again breathe
threats of European war. The cable
SAYS it is to be between Russia and
Austria; whilst other advices teen with
reports of NAPOLEON preparations for
strengthening his army, and also declare
that Austria hates Prussia so intensely
that a comparatively small difficulty
would fan the smouldering embers of
hostility again into flame. 1t is gen.
orally conceded that the present peace
in Germany does not rest upon any firm
basis, and that so long as NAPOLEON
lives he will try to aggrandize France by
stirring up quarrels among her neigh

NEURALGIA.

A correspondent writes to the Phila
delphia Ledger that, having derived
great benefit from a simple remedy fol-
neuralgia, he thinks it ought to be made
public. He says he has suffered for over
twenty years from attacks of severe neu'
ralgia in the legs, sometimes almost
causing lameness. Medical treatment
change of air, and other remedies being
without effect, be tried change OF
clothing and wore very heavy, warm red
INST wooden drawers, and this relieved
him. Our correspondent states his opin-
ion to be, that large amount OF the
neuralgia cases now so common might
be relieved by extremely warm clothing,
and says that even the heaviest and most
EXPENSIVE silk will not answer.

FROM NEW YORK.
Beast Butler on the Rampage.

New York, November 3.-The follow
inc is the Posts version of the disturb
ance at the Republican meeting In the
City Hall park this afternoon;
The police were present IN force, and
kent the crowd back for a time, but they
soon crowded up to the platform. Gen.
Butler took Oh his overcoat and his hat,
and was introduced to the meeting by
Gen. Walbridge. An apple was thrown
at him, and it hit him fairly. He coolly
took it and began eating it while he
waited. Several interruptions followed.
General Butler continued, and said
that it had been this spirit of misrule
which brought on the late terrible war.
There were, doubtless, within the sound
of his voice, men who had fled from the
South for protection during the war, and
are now endeavorng to bring on an
archy. The honorable men of New York
would not wish to interfere with the
rights ofthe minority.
Wherever the Republican party exists,
even in Georgia, free speech is tolerated,
except in the city of New York. If this
is the Democracy Of New York, the
sooner it is wiped out the better.
Organized bands of thieves, with their
arms deep in the public plumber, were
before him. While one may pardon the
few hirelings, he added, who do their
masters bidding, we will hold the leaders
guilty.
He charged the scene upon Mayor
Hoffman, who would follow Gov. Sey-
mour out of Office. The men who are
now bowling were, in 1868, burning and
hanging negroes.
You poor fools, he continued, | have
faced your superiors in Baltimore and
New Orleans. have hung your betters.
If you do not behave yourselves, / IL have
the pleasure to see you hung.
Do you think am going to finch !?
Do you think you are the equal of the
negro? You are not to overpower free
speech and free thought. Men of the
Five Points, thieves and frequenters of
the Tombs, declare you are not worthy
of the elective franchise.
He said that crowd was composed of
the paid hirelings of the Democratic
party, who are paid SO much a week to
suppress free speech. No higher reason
could be presented why Governor Fen
ton should be elected than it.
If there was anything that could be
argued in favor of despotism and against
the rule of the minority by the majority,
it was such scene as that before him.
1t would take but few demonstrations
of like character to make the great Re
publican party become disguised with
free elective franchise.
General Butler was then asked to go
on and give the ruffians what they de-
served. He replied:
"No, no, fellow-citizens, l will not
play the BLACKBOARD l am not presi-
dent or vice-president, and cannot go
into anydiscussion with an angrycrowdl
The scene during the General speech
beggars description. The crowd was
composed of vilainous faces. The Gen
eral spoke boldly and fearlessly, loudly
defying his enemies. His manner was
impressive, and carried greater effect
with it than his words.

MEXICO.
Preparations for Intervention

WASHINGTON, Nov 5.-Gen. Grant has
at last, most!probably per instructions
from the President, taken up the. Mexican
matter in earnest, and will attend to
il with zeal so far as he can be concerned
On Saturday morning he invited Senior
Romero to a confidential interview at his
headquarters, which meeting took place
and lasted for some time. After Senior
Romero's departure there was a staff
meeting. What connection this may or
may not have had with the Mexican BUSH
ness cannot be said.
One thing more: there is no reason to
bslieye that the Mexican question has
been reopsned with France, but that i
remains Just where the last published
note from Drouyn de-. Hugs to Mr.. Sew
ard placed it. The government is wait
ing to see how the French act up TO the
frst Of the coming year. II at that time
it is seen there is any bad faith exhib-
tied or a tSndency to dnplioity, then such
action will be forcibly commenced as
will insure our feelings and interests TO
be respected.
President Juarez has written a letter,
IN which he again ASSERTS his unwilling
ness to consider any projects looking to
cession Of the northern States Of Mex
leo TO the United States. Furthermore,
it is known that some three years ago
Don Jose Domingo Cortez came to this
city asd proposed before the Executive
the annexation to the United states oil
the State Of Chihuahua and the States oil
Mexico on the Pacific coast, in order, az
he said, to free them from French inter
vention, and that JuareE instructed senol
Romero to officially deny that Corteg had
any right to make any such proposition

TEA IN THE SOUTH.

Admiral SEMMEs, in the Mobile Ca
zetfe, in an article upon the culture of
tea, says: From our knowledge OF the
latitude and localities in which the tea
plant is grown in most perfection in
China and other eastern countries, We
have no doubt that the plant might be
naturalized, to great advantage, in the
northern portions of these Southern
States. In our own State, the counties
of Calhoun, Cherokee, Blount, Marshall,
etc, possess many Of the necessary con-
ditions for the production of the plant
and we hope some of our enterprislng
citizens of these counties will make the
experiment."

parties accused of committing murder on

COTTON AND TIE RADICALS.


The success of the Radicals should
have the effect of raising the price OF
cotton. That staple will droop away
under the depression caused by appre-
hension of contiscation, negro suffrage,
Intestine connections and general an
archy. Confidence, faith, in the future,
once withdrawn, leaves barren fields,
neryeless men and far and fatal ruin.

BUTLER, no Southern man will feel free
from personal harm, and will lack all
incentive TO persistent exertion. Negroes
the dependence for labor, under the man
ipulations of that soulless man, will con-
verge to vast and dusky clouds of idle
ness, chattering of ballots and politics,
while the winds of heaven whistle
through their streaming rags the grand
march of famine. Then will come
trouble, complicated and terrible, issuing
from maelstrom, within whose circle
the black race in the South will develop
the problem that has defed the solution
of human reason. Heaven never looked
down upon such madness before.
Boston. whose vast wealth was wrung
from the sweat Of the Southern negro,
and whose future depends upon the pro-
ductions Of the South, unanimously votes
her out of the Union, out of energy, out
of bread, and would, il she possessed
the power, vote her out of the world.

and BUTLER rule the Radical party, and
the Radical party is triumphant 1t is
fearful fact, that the cotton yield of 1866,
small as it will prove, will be far greater
than that of 1861. In Mississippi,
government officer reports that the crop
will not pay the cost Of production. In
Texas, the negroes assert that they will
not make contracts for another year This
will be the course ofthe great mass ofthem
