The Sioux Indians are playing havoc
near Fort Fetterman, Wyoming territory.
The California grangers are said to be
organizing bank with capital of five mil
lion dollars, distributed in $4,000 shares of
S10O each.
The ravages of grasshoppers in some
OF the counties of Minnesota have been so
terribly destructive that all the crops have
been swept away completely, as by fire.
Capt. Carlyle Byrd, commanding at
Cheyenne agency, reports that the supply OF
rations for the Indians are about exhausted
and says should the issue of rations, and es-
pecally beef be stopped for any heightened
period, it will lead to serious depredations, if
not actual warfare ON the part Of the Indians.
Gov. Davis, of Minnesota, issues a
circular to the granges appealing for aid for
the southwestern counties. He cites six whole
counties and parts of others which "have
been swept by grasshoppers Of all crops as
if by fire. Women and children are suffering
for food. The Implements and stock Of the
settlers are under mortgages given to tide
over the priyations Of last year"
Telegraphic advices from Fort Lara
mie state that reports received from Spotted
Tails agency say that seventy-fve lodges of
of Ogallahs under Black Twin are moving to-
ward that place. that Mincapacas and Mime
conious are moving across the Yellow Stone
river, and the Arapahoes and Cheyennes are
camped on the headquarters of Big Horn
river, near the Big Horn mountains.
Col. John f. Smith, of the 14th in
fantry, commanding the Sioux expedition, ur-
der date of Camp Robinson, Neb., June o.
writes as follows: Indians arriving from the
north yesterday, report large war parties, es-
timated at from 400 to 600 Indians, have divi-
ded into four parties one for this vicinity
one to the old Red Cloud Agency, with the in
tion of crossing the North Platte; one to
Laramie and to Fetterman, these two
last intending probably to cross between the
two posts. Also party is reported going to
Sweetwater. OF course this is an Indian re-
port, and must be considered accordingly.
A national soldiers reunion is an
nounced to be held in forest camp of leo
acres near Caldwell, Ohio on the 17th and
18th days Of September, to celebrate the
twelfth anniversary of AntietAn. Prominent
among the speakers announced are Gen. Geo.
w. Morgan Senators Sherman Snd Thurman,
Gems. Logan and Banks. The convention is to
be kept clear of politics.

The South Carolina Cotton Crop.

The Charleston News gives the fol
lowing report of the cotton crop OF
South Carolina
Only nine counties in the state have
failed TO furnish reports. The remain
ing counties differ widely from each
other in some particulars but they
show, as a whole, a decrease in the cot
ton area, and a worse stand and an in
ferior cotton prospect, as compared with
1873 but they show, likewise, a larger
area and a better prospect for grain,
with a general falling off In the use of
commercial fertilizers. The counties
vary so much, however, IN situation and
in the quantity of cotton and grain
produced in them, that a simple aver
age, obtained by dividing the the totals
of the columns of the table by the
number of counties, would not give
correct result. This has made it neces-
sary to take into account tie relative
Importance of the several counties and
the conclusions TO which we have come,
after a careful consideration and exam
ination of the subject, are these:
1. The area planted in cotton IN
South Carolina is per cent. less than
in 1873.
2. The cotton stand is inferior to that
of 1873, to the extent of 9 per cent.
5. The cotton prospect is 9 per cent.
less favorable than in 1873.
4. The area planted in grain shows
an increase of II per cent. as compared
with 1873.
5. The prospects of the grain crop
are IL per cent. better than In 1873.
6. The decrease in the use of com
merciaI fertilizers is equal to q per
cent.
7. The cost of labor is about the
same as last year, but with an upward
tendency.
Our estimate of the decreased cotton
area in this state agrees, it will be seen,
with that of the agricultural bureau,
and we think that the remaining esti-
mates Will be found substantially cor
rect. The important point now is, the
decrease in the area in grain. Later on
we hope to be able to show, more ex-
actly, the prospects of the cotton crop,
which depend very much on the charac-
ter and length of the summer season.

Clerical Dress.

At a pastors meeting, held in New
York last week, the question of clerical
dress came up. Some advocated the
wearing of the black robes, others de-
nounced the garb as unseemly and rit-
ualistic. There is nothing more arbi-
trary than "clerical dress" In Eng
land there are two styles, that of the
Establishment that of the Dissent.
You can tell High churchman from a
Low churchmaD, the one wearing q
cravat without collar, and the other a
collar without a cravat. The great
army of the Establishment wear a dress
as distinctive as the "Qaeen's Own. q"
The dress of the Dissenters and that of
servant in a nobleman's house are
alike, both wearing white cravats and
black coat and pants. Spurgeon wears
this dress with this difference instead
of a swalloW-tail coat ne wears a black
frock. In the days of Stillman and
Baldwin, ordained clergymen of all de-
nominations wore the bands, and a
large portion of them wore the black
gown. In their own pulpits, Drs. Bald
win and Stillman preached in ia can
onicals. Bishop AsbUry, the first
American bishop of the Methodist
church, travelled over the savannahs
anu GE5JS JldCcS Vi b4IC oStAbAA5 anu EDA-
formed his functions IN that wild re-
gion in full bishops dress. The white
cravat was not clerical badge. 1t was
worn by all gentlemen, judges, lawyers,
merchants, scholars, as well as by
cIergvmen. No one was dressed with
out a white cravat. When other class
es abandoned the distinction, the clergy

Brooklyn pastor astonished his audi
ence by coming into the pulpit with a

Western Minnesota Eaten Bare by the
Pests.
The following has been received at
the war department
ST. PAUL, Mimi, July 9.
To the Secretary Of Var.
a terrible calamity has befallen the
people of several counties in the north
western part of the state. The !ocHsts
have devoured every kind of crop, and
left the country for miles perfectly bare.
They did the same thing last year In
the same area. Many thousands are now
suffering for food, and am using every
public and private resource that l can
lawfully command to send immediate
supplies of food. This state is entitled
to two years quota of arms, estimated at
IS, 160. 1 respectfully request that the
subsistence department be ordered to
turn over to me in lieu of these arms
quantity equivalent In value of Tations,
or such parts of a ration as I may re-
quest. I should not make this request
but for the gravest reasons, and to pre-
vent imminent starvation. have used
every resource which the state has
given. / earnestly hope that obstacles
of form will not be allowed to interfere.
Please advise me Immediately by teIe-
graph. G. @. DAVIS, Governor.
Since the appeal of Gov. Davis of
Minnesota to the war department is
likely be denied because of the INSULT
cheney of the law, it is time for the peo-
pie of the United States to be informed
that there is utter and wide destitutiOn
in the southwestern counties of this
state among new the settlers whose crops
have been destroyed for two years, and
urgent appeals must be made to the be-
nevolent everywhere for contributions
in aid of the starving people who own
farms under homestead and pre-emption
laws, but have been unable to obtain
subsistence from theEa because of the
destruction by grasshOppers. These
pests aIe now moving away to other re-
gions to devastate and ruin other set
tiers, but In the meantime those they
have Just ruined are in starving condi-
tion. The county commissioners of the
state are making appropriations to re-
heve present suffering, but large and
immediate help is needed from the
country at large. Contributions of
of money or clothing may be addressed
to Gen. Il. 81. Sibiey or Gov. G. @.
Davis, st. Paul, and provisions, etc.,
are most needed.
