The question of reconstruction Is
calling forth opinions and cOmmunica-
tions from most of the old leaders in
the South, many of whom held high
rank in the civil or military service Of
the confederacy. The latest received
are from General Barkinghall and Gov
ernor Perry. The folmer, like Long
street, Thompson and others favOrs re-
construction as rapidly as possible,
while the latter, like b. II. Hill, OF
Georgia, and others, opposes reconstruc-
ton under the law and vote for mo
Convention 1t is noticeable fact
that the old soldiers aud the old poll
ticians are arranging themselves OH OPP
posite sides of the question.
The Herald's Omaha special says:
The following has been received at
headquarters from General Clusters
command, dated at Riverside, Colorado,
four miles west of Fort Sedgwick, July
9Th:
On the oath nit, forty-five Sioux at
tackled a detachment of twenty-five
men, snder Captain Hamilton, near the
forks of the Republican. After a gal
liant fight the Indians were beaten
and driven off with loss of two war
riors killed and several wounded, Ham
ilten losing only one horse.
On the same day large band of Sioux
warriors surrounded Clusters camp, en-
deavoring to stampede the horses, but
were repulsed without the loss of sim
gle animal.
On the 26th war party of Sioux and
Cheyennes, numbering 500 or 600, at
tackled and surrounded forty-eight men
of the Seventh cavalry, under Lieuten-
ants Robbins and Cook, who were escort
ing a supply train from Fort Wallace.
The Indians remained about the train
for three hours and made desperate at
tempts to effect its capture, but after a
we'll contested fight they were also re-
pulsed with loss of five warriors killed
and several wounded, and one was cap
tured. Our loss was only two men

The Herald's New Orleans special
says: The Raleigh, hence for Havana,
has on board about ten Austrian officers
who arrived from Vera Cruz via Mo-
bile, and now go to Havana with view
of remaining there, and they have an
opportunity to join some Mexican chief
tain at enlnity with Juarez. Among
them are Majors Heron aud EARNINGS
The latter was military commissioned
of Vera Cruz.
They declare that they will remain
in Mexico and avenge MaXimiliau'
death, that a few days will see large
anti-Juarez party with powerful chief
tain at their head, and the remnant of
the Austrians will render service at
Panama, from which point they will
return to Mexico.
The finance committee have ut length
reported in q strain of unusal severity
upor the message of the acting Mayor
through falling to answer satisfactorily
the points made by that functionary.
In their report the con- mittee concede
that the issue of city scrip by the Comp,
troller has never been legalized by leg
islative act, though they attribute their
want of legality to a certain veto Of
the acting Mayor and contend that il
informal the city is bound in honor to
pay them. The committee refuse Ia
censure the Comptroller and thus the
matter assumes the form of mere
squabble between the appointee OF
Sheridan and the few officials who were
not removed when they should have
been.
Hon. T. H. May, of the First National
Bank notoriety, has been arraigned and
held to bail in the sum of fifty thousand
dollars.
