General sherman and the Indians.

General Sherman made speech to the In
dians in the council the North Platte last
week. He told them the Pacific Railroad must
be built, and that they could not be permitted
to interfere with it. He added:-If the Indians
are damaged, they will receive compensation.
He supposed they had agreed on the Powder
river road in the Laramie treaty last spring.
While the Indians continue to wage war, the
road win not be given up, but II the Indians
rig hit is found good 1t will be given up, or COM
pensation paid, if they keep the peace. Powder
and lead would not be given them until deh-
mite treaty was made. A railroad train had
been attacked, and men were killed who had no
guns, but were bringing goods, some OF which
were TO feed the Indians. A proposition was
then submitted for the Indians to accept homes
on the new reservations, and they were given
until the LIST OF November to answer at the
Council to be held at North Platte; at the same
time they could hunt on the Republican. The
General also represented that we were building
costly roads, and they could not be stopped any
more than the sun and moon in the East. You
hardly think, he said, what you call war here is,
but If you make up your minds 1t will come to
the Plains thick, where there are the largest
herds of buffaoes, and kill you all. He also
told the Indians that if they wanted to go East
and see for themselves, they would be dead
headed" through. The Chief responded that
they only asked for ammunition, which the
Commission finally concluded to give The
Commission returned to Omaha.

CottOn-Ral:ing In the Sandwich Islands

The Honolulu Commercial Advertiser of July
20 has the following statements about cotton
raising at the Sandwich Islands:-
"Tbe schooner Nettie Merrill brought from
Niihau, a few DAYS ago, some $500 pounds, and
the steamer and Kona Packet some 1000 pounds
from Hawaii, of the very choicest Sea Island
cotton. That from HaW ali was raised by a
native who received 1856 for cotton brought
down this week, including premium of 500,
which he had earned, and who has been paid
nearly $1,000 for cotton delivered by him dur
ing the past twelve months. This would indi-
cate that the article can be grown here in GER
tain localities, although on the Island of Oahu
the cultivation OF it has nearly ceased, owing
to the caterpillars and drought, which entirely
destroyed the plantations in 1856. There are
certain tracts of low moist land near the sea on
each of the islands, both on the weather and
lee Sides where this plant will thrive better than
anything else, and these are the localities which
should be selected-the nearer the sea the bet.
ter; and of soils, sandy soil is the best. Any
foreigner, who has the land, can engage pro-
fiably in cotton.growing, with very little outlay
of capital. The reward of his labor, on favor
able SOIL will be from fifty to sixty dollars an
acre, though good management may, perhaps
increase It to eighty or hundred dollars.
Sugar-cane does not average this return to culti-
yators, to say nothing of having to wait three
times as long for the pay"

road.
LEAvENwoRTH. Kansas, Sept. PA Conven-
tion of the Germans of this State met to-day at
Topeka TO consider the political situation
Forty-hve delegates were present. Female and
negro suffrage were freely discussed, a majority
preferring TO ignore these questions in the cam
paign and devote themselves to the question of
religious and social rights. The Convention is
still in session tonight, no definite action having
been taken as yet.
The contractors on the Union Pacific Railroad
applied to-day to General Smith for additional
troops, or work would stop, owing to Indian
depredations. General Smith replied that he
had no troops to spare.
Governor Crawford has rendered General
Sherman one or more regiments of volunteers
to protect the laborers. West of Fort Hayes
the Indians are holding high carnival.

Ths Reported DefaIeAtiOn in Wind.
ham, VT

A correspondent OF the Boston Journal,
writing from Chester, VT, Sept 10, says;-
'"The town of WiDdham is In an unusual state
of excitement, growing out OF the Investigations
recently made in the financial affairs of promi-
nent citizen of that town. The particulars, as
we learn them, are as folows:-Henry Pelrce,
weltOdo farmer, and who, previous to this
transaction, has borne an irreproachable char
acter, absconded on the' 18th Instant taking
with him several thousand dollars which had
been procured from moneyed institutions and
private individuals upon the representation that
ne was endeaVoring to obtain large amount OF
money tor the purpose of purchasing blooded
sheep, with which he was going TO stock his
farm PARTIES who had loaned him money,
placing entire confidence in his integrity, re-
NAMED perfectly easy until the 18th instant,
when the truth was made public that he was a
deiaulter. Monday letter was received by his
father, which was postmarked at Milwaukee,
Wie., containing deed properly executed, con-
veying all his real estate TO him for security,
he having signed notes as security at the
Jamaica Bank, which loses heavily by the
transaction. One firm loses to the amount OF
S11O0. This affair is the first of the kind that
has ever occurred in Windham, and the excite
ment Is intense.n
