The propriety of disposing of half a dozen
or so of our school houses and building one
of modern style, and of proportions required
by the necessities of the city, is worthy Of
serious consideration by the powers that be
and the people generally. The expense for
fuel, repairs, &C., &c., would be much less
with one or two good and spacious houses
than with those now in use, which have an
swered passably well in times past, but are
now fast going to decay.

INDIAN MATTERS.

Washington, s. Secretary Delano to day
received the following telegram from the COM
missioner of Indian Affairs:
Fort Sill. Oct. 4, via Caddo, Oct. 7. Gov.
Davis and party arrived yesterday. They
have held preliminary council with the Kio-
wa Chiefs. The severe measures probably
necessary with the Cammanches here make
it very important that the Cheyenns residing
near Pueblo should be struck and destroyed
or captured. Their Chiefs told me that the
men went against their nation, and in def
ance of their agent. They disclaim ali respon-
sibility for them. A blow there will make
solution here so much easier by preventing
the Tribes above from joining the Camanches
The Indians must be kept on their reserva-
tons by punishment, when other means fail.
(Signed,) Z. p. SMITH.
The contents of this despatch were commu-
nicated to the War Department, and it being
agreed to take immediate action, the Secreta-
ry telegraphed to Smith, as follows:
Washington, Oct. s. L. z. Smith, Fort
Sill, Indian Territory. Orders are given by
the War Department to strike the residing
Cheyenns near Pueblo, as soon as possible
Keep me advised of events.

The elearances from this market exhibit de-

look for slack trade from this time to January.
There WILL of courae, be more less Southern and
Western orders for small lots to piece out assort
ments, and some small dealers may also be in the
market, but the distributing points have generally
fair supply.
The New England trade continue to buy fair
quantities Of goods, and the manufacturers OF fan
cy slippers are somewhat more active, although
their sales have been somewhat checked by the d.
nancial furry.
Collections are of course made at the present mo-
ment with some difficulty, but with q steady dow

be enough in the hands Of the local trade 70 meet
