WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Although it
is known instructions were some days
ago sent Gen. Sickles in effect that the
process of the federal court must not be
interfered with by the military authori-
ty, recent dispatches from the South
state that Notwithstanding these in
structions, Order No. 10 is still in force.
These facts, unexplained, convey the
impression that the General is guilty of
contumacy or disregard OF orders from
the War Department. 1t is positively
known here that the instructions, at his
request, are temporarily suspended in
order that his views upon the subject
may be made known to the authorities
at Washington before further action.
The following telegram was received
this morning from Omaha:
Hon. N. @. Taylor, Commissioner OF In
dian Affairs: rf
1 sent ten Indian runners yesterday
from the North Platte, with peace effcr-
ings to the hostile Indian camps south
of the Platte. On the same day Spotted
Tail, with $50 friendly Sioux, by con-
sent of the Commissioner, started on a
buffalo hunt. They. went of well pleas
ed, promising 10 meet the Commission
er al the North Platte.

The cholera is raging among the Sem

~ new cases daily.
Late Denver papers report Forts Reno
and Phil Kearney in state OF seige.
All small parties leaving there are i'm
mediately chased back and their stock
stolen. Col. Green lost one hundred
head of stock on Dry Cheyenne. The
road from Laporte to Phil Kearney is
impossible, except for large parties.
and even they are frequently attacked.
The cholera is reported to be raging
in a malignat form in and around
Shawneetown, ILL.,, thirty cases and
twenty deaths having already oc-
curred-people fleeing in great conster-
nation.
The strike on the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad has assumed formidable pro-
portions. The employees, many of
whom have not been paid in eighteen
months, assembled at Jackson and
stopped all trains. A company of mil
itary was ordered to thai point, and
agents of the road fear Gov. Brownlow
will take possession of all that portion
of the road in Tennessee.
A convention of engineers, embracing
some ofthe most famous In the country,
assembled here yesterday to consult in
reference to the construction of bridge
across the Mississippi river at this point
for the Illinois and st. Louis bridge
company. VIM. J. Nc Alpine was elect
ed president and Thomas McKlssock
secretary. Committees on plan, foun-
dation, piers, superstructure, approach
es. &C., were appointed. The Conven-
ton with number of prominent citi-
zens made an excursion up and down
the harbor this morning. The bridge
will be about 1000 feet long, OF the truss
pattern, with between 300 and 400 feet
spans, ffty feet above high water mark.
II will cross at q point near Carr street.
Another company, called the st. Louis
and Illinois Bridge Company, of which
Capt. Jas. b, Eads, is Chief Engineer,
will build a bridge crossing at Wash
ingtou avenue and have already got
considerable material on the river bank
ready to commence work as soon as the
water becomes sufficiently low. Both
these structures will be railroad

NEW YORK, Aug. 2I.

NEW OhlAt aug IL
The money market presents indica-
tons OF steady though slow departure
from the extreme ease lately prevalent.
Some OF the banks and trust associa-
tons have had their balances drawn
down considerably, and show less
anxiety to lend than Il few days ago.
Less money is loaned at the mini
mum rates, transactions at 8 per cent.
on Governments being very excep-
tional, and fewer offers are made to
lend for fixed term. Good borrowers,
however, ind no difficulty in supply
ing their wants at per cent. on Gov
ernmeuLs or good stocks; at the same
time transactions at per cent. appear
to be on the increase. The market,
however, must still be reported easy,
so far as respects call loans.
The banks prefer lending on demand
at 4a5 per cent. to discounting prime
paper at 6a7 per cent, apparently from
an expectation of greater nrmness IN
the market. H.rr H.
The Western farmers appear disposed
to hurry their grain to the market, IN
order TO realize the best prices. a.
This course induces an active demand
for money from the West; but, at the
same time, the pressuret to realize causes
caution among discounters of produce
paper, who naturally say that the large
supplies must Precipitate heavy fall
in prices. Much must depend upon&he
celebrity with which the crops are dis
tributed.
Ifalarge amount OF grain should be
exported early, or should the purchases
for consumption be liberal, the money
advanced upon the early receipts will
be soon released and again thrown
upon the market. But whether such
result may be anticipated, In the event
of a declining market for produce, is
questionable. r ..a .-..7
