The New York financial circles were thrown
into a state of excitement early in the day yes
terdsy by the announcement Of the suspension
OF the banking and brokerage house of Lock
wood & Co. The stock market, which had
opened strong, suffered o marked decline, and
for short time a panic was feared. When il
was discovered, however, that 1t was "bear'
failure, aided by an easier money market, con-
fdence was restored and prices again ad anced
and at the close of the day the markets gener-
ally were in favorable condition for the bulls =
The amount of the liabilities Of lockwood &
60. have not been ascertained, but the failure
Is not supposed to be a very disastrous one
Messrs. Barton s. Allen, whose failure was an
nounced on wednesday, expect soon to make a
satisfactory arrangement to resume business

That dCuhle-distilled essence of Indian
reachery, the notorious Capt Jack, and his
band Of savage assassIns have been dislodged
from their stronghold in the lava bed, but. as
was feared, they have eluded the vigilance of
our troops and escaped to the mountains. There
need be no doubt, however, as to the result. A
RELENTLESS pursuit will be kept up by our troopers
and the savages will have no safety but in dis
banding and scattering in every direction. Dis
patches leave US entirely in the dark a. to the
manner in which they extricated themselves
from the lava beds, but il is inferred our troops
were not sufficient in number to surround the
savages, and that they slipped out in the night
Through gap in our Gordon. At any rate they
have temporarily escaped their just deserts, and
u u possible they may do considerable damage
yet before they can be overtaken and inter
viewed by our cavalry. Five soldiers are
reported killed and ten wounded, while
the MOdOcs are known to have lost ten
or twelve killed in the three days fight
The Warm Spring Indian allies Of our forces
took four sealps, and a cavalry sergeant Gifted
The hair OF one of the miscreants yclept Scar
Faced Charley" The savages were evidently
greatly demoraliZed by the shells from the
mortars, which dropped among them and ex-
fioded, causing, as the report saws, yells OF
pain and diSmsy. The Indian allies of our
forces seem TO have done excellent service, and
VIII doubtless prove valuable auxliaries in the
pursuit Of the fugitives. We hope soon to be
able to chronicle the capture OF the red fends,
nut that event may be necessarily DELAYED for
some days 10 come, as the savages are feet of
foot and have the advantage over our troops of
thoroughly knowing the country.

The teachers OF the public schools at their
meeting to-day, took temperate action, it will
De seen, on the salary question. They declare
that they do not charge that the school fund
has been oyerdrawn, or that it has been i'm
properly used, but they complain that in the
expenditure Of money for school purposes due
provision has not been made for the punctual
monthly payment OF their salaries. They say
This - an old grievance of wears, and as the ex.
listing laws seem to furnish no adequate RENE
dy, they propose TO petition the legislature at
IT. coming session to provide, by enactment,
that such part OF the taxes as is appropriated
Tor the payment of teachers salaries be set
apart, and saeredly held for that sole use and
purpose.
1his Is but just and right, and we have no
doubt the legislature will promptly respond to
the request The teachers, it will be seen by
1he report, were paid to-day for January and
February.

The STAR long ago set forth the necessity of
an outlet lock from the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal into the Potomac above Georgetown to
relieve the usual jam of boats IN the busy coal
season and prevent much expense to boatmen
On account Of the resulting delay in unloading
Il he canal company have at length recognized
the necessity for this work and have already
rommenced the preparatory operations at a
point just above the old foundry, which, in the
opinion OF many well-informed persons, is not
well suited for the purpose, as there is only a
very narrow strip Of land between the canal and
river at that point, and no harbor for boats on
the river nor room for the horses and mules on
ts'nd. IL the outlet lock was located at the low
grounds above the stOp-lOck, there would be a
tasin for boats, plenty OF room for the horses
and mules, and the lock would be far above the
point to which the jam Of boats sometimes ex-
tends. which II not the case with the location
d-termined upon.
