CHICAGO, April 4.-The Helena Mon
tana) Herald of March It'll, contains
the following account of the Fort Phil.
Kearney massacre, as furnished to
some white men by Indians, engaged
themselves in the massacre:
They, the Sioux, were about 1000
strong, all warriors without their fam
lilies. Reachinga deep ravine near the
fort, the main body of Indians were sta
| toned on opposite sides of the defile,
lying close 20 the ground so as not to be
seen, while they sent a small number
of their best riders on dash up to near
the post where the Government horses
and mules were loose, and stampsded
them.
The commander of the post sent out
about 80 men and officers to pursue
the Indians, and recover, If possible,
| the lost stock. The retiring small band
of Indians went slow enough to en-
courage their Pursuerss and led them
into the narrow defile, where hordes OF
demons waited to destroy them.
The trap was successful in every par
ticular. After the little command OF
troops had fairly entered the deep ca
non, the Indians lining the sides of the
| mountain on either side, raised and
|
killing on the spot all but II of the sol,
diers, and every officer.
These II, though a number were
wounded, the Indians say, fought
bravely and killed some fifteen or
twenty of their number, among them
the three principal chiefs, before they
were shot down. But there was one OF
the brave boys in blue whom neither
their arrows nor bullets would fell,
though he had numberless wounds. He
stood up and fought hand to hand till
| overwhelmed by their closing upon
him, and carrying him off prisoner TO
their camp, where he was finally tor
tured to death.
The savages say that aside from the
force lining the fatal defiIe, they sta
toned 600 oftheir picked young arrow
ers near the post, so as to make sure OF
its capture in case the troops remaining
within should be sent out to the relief
of their comrades. But this was not
done, although they could plainly hear
the firing from the post.

New YoRK, April 4.-The Herald's
San Luis Potosi Mexican coFrespon-
dence of March 9Th, says: The Liber-
ais are in front of Queretaro and are
rapidly closing around the city to give
the "coup de grace" to the empire.
Escobado writes that on the 9th inst,
he had closed his lines in upon the CITY,
Coruna occupying the west and south
west along a line of elevations which
commands the city, and Torerino, with
the army of the north, occupying the
west and northwest outskirta Of the
place. All was expected to be ready
for an assault to-day, and letter to
minister Lerdo and Coboda states that
he believes it will not require more
than three or four days longer to finish
up the work at that point. He says
that while moving his troops around
the place, large clouds of dust were OBJ
served as if tie Imperial army was
retreating from Mexico, but this cloud
was seen 70 move toward Queretaro as
soon as 1t was evident that it might be
outfanked. he also states that there is
the greatest discord prevailing among
the Imperial officers, that they are
divided in council and cannot deter
mine what measures to take, and that
the army is in a starving condition,

next week. u
That paper, OF yesterday, has the following
remarks upon the condition of the money
market:
1.-THE trouble, we presume. is the result OF
the National Bank reports, Preparations
for these set in motion an Immense volume
Of currency. Balances were 10 large extent
In the hands OF private bankers IN New York
who paid interest on deposits These the
country banks could not count In their re-
serves. Consequently the balances were
temporarily Withdrawn. and meantime
run down, and people, unable to account for
the disappearance of the money, begin to APP
prehend permanent stnngency. This, how
ever, Is not possible, and the probability Is
money will be easy enough in the course OF a
week or two. Business Is not active, and pr1-
ces OF commodities are so per cent lower
than they were q year ago, while there has
been only trifling reduction In the volume
of currency. There is outstanding at this
time S675, 900 600 of legal tenders and National
Bank notes, besides which there is $50, COO :
600 OF compound notes, which NIL the place
of that amount of active currency in the
bank reserves. This gives, virtually. $685.
10000 OF paper money, exclusive Of frac-
ttonal currency and State bank notes. This
being thecase, 1t is pretty certain that we
shala not very long have a close money mar
Flour was again firmer yesterday in Chi
cago, and an advance of half dollar per
barrel was asked here on the low grades. A
brand that had been selling in Wheeling at
$500 was quoted at that price yesterday in
Chicago to one of our leading houses. The
question naturally is where this sort of thing
will stop. Harvest Is coming on and the
prospects are all that could be desired, and
yet -four has been steadily advancing.

truth in the report that tia President
