The Yellowstone.

CHICAGO, June 12.-The following dis.
patch was received at Lieutenant General
Sheridsn's Office to-day:
We left Fort Buford at six o'clock p. NJ.
Wednesday, May 26, and reached the
mouth of Big Horn river by the use of
steam alone, without setting spar, arriv-
ing at eight a. M. Wednesday, June End.
Our running time was 50 hours and 40
minutes: The distance travelled from
Fort Buford, 400 miles from the mouth Of
Powder River, was 165 miles, pushing on
from Big Horn we had to work our way
up the Yellowstone by the use Of lines
and spars, passing Pompey's Pillar and
Pryor's River, but finally we're compelled
to turn back when within about 20 mills
of Clark's Fork, having reached q point
on the Yellowstone $50 miles above Pow
der River, and 485 miles from Ruford. In
descending the Yellowstone we had arise
in the river as far as Powder River, but
from there to Big Horn the water was
falling, and the marks on the banks show.
ed that our stage of water was at least two
feet below the usual Spring rise. The
minimum depth ofwater on Wolf Rapids
was eight feet, and on the main Buffalo
Rapids was seven feet. We. streamed
over both of them without the least tr0ub,
lie. We also ran up the Bib Horn River
for a distance Of twelve miles, when we
found that the channel was SO INSTRUCTED
that it would not pay " 90 any higher.
This river is $50 yards wide at its mouth,

AUSTIN, MIMI
THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE II. 1875.
JOHN s. PlLLSBURY.

This gentleman, so we'll known, SO much
talked about and so universally popular,
is the subject of a double,leaded editorial
in a recent number of the Minneapolis
Maii. The formal declination of Govern.
or Davis makes it propef for republican
papers to discuss. the question Of success
ion. The course Of the present executive
has been 80 correct and concil;atory as to
cntitle him to the courtesy of established
party rsage--a re nomination. did he de-
sire it, and tho party papers which
would have opposed him, are very few.
Mr.. Pillsbury seems to stand at that par
ticular point where all the different party
influences focalize, and to possess the pow
er to make them all harmonize in himself.
1t would be uni ust to say that he rccog-
nizes this fact. He resists the idea. stub.
bornly, ind will yield only when CON-
PEELED by the overpowering assurance
which is becoming nearly universal, that
he is the choice Of the people. His nom-
ination is already accomplished, and the
convention will ratify it unanimously,
and JOHN 8. P11lsBuRY will be the next
governor Of Minnesota. -.

feel justified in saying that for three
months Of each year the Yellowstone is
navigable from its mouth to the mouth, Of
Big Horn. If the reports IRE true, it is
much better than the Upper Missouri for
the same period. We saw and killed dur
ing our trip, buffalo, elk, deer, mountain
sheep and bear, and caught trout above
Pryor's River. There is any quantity Of
pine and cottonwood for all building pur:

the river, but ran on to $50 lodges of

THE STRIKE ENDED.

THE STRIKE ENDED.
The long strike is ended. The miners
Of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Go. made
an unconditional surrender through their
delegates last night. The meeting met n.
Parrish.
A dozen or more meetings were held
yesterday at different places. At Ashley
u delegation of 70 German miners went
to the meeting for the purpose Of votin g
for the resumption. Their object became
known to the leaders, and they were cx-
cluded from the meeting. They then held
a meeting of their own, and decided to
be governed no longer by tile associa,
ton.
At another meeting the Irish and
Welsh disagreed, and the former with
drew.
At other meetings there was also lack
Of harmony, and during the course of the
day there was general disagreement as
ITO the future action. The mass Of miners
were in favor of going to work, but the
leaders fought hard against it. The sen
timent is too strong for them to control
and part yielded.
In tue evening regular meeting was
held, and the delegates then went to Mr.
Parrish's Office, where long and harmo
NOUS conference took place, which end
ed in the agreement to 60 to work upon
the last terms. No concessions whatever
were made by the company, the men Stat
ed they had made mistake in holding
out so long, or in making strike, were
now in want of the necessaries of life, and
eager to have work. Individually this
company employs about eleven thousand
men. All their works will be started as
soon as possible. The miners Of individ
sal operators, will follow the men of thi:
company, and there will be a general re-
sumption in the Wyoming region.

PANAMA, June 4.-The following par
ticulars of the recent terrible earthquake
have been received by letter from Salarar,
dated May 10Th:
At ITO a. m. yesterday, the 18th, a Sc
we're earthquake visited this city and re-
gion. In this city large part of the
church fell and several houses were de-
stroycd and some people killed. The city
of Circuita IS entirely destroyed, only a
few families being saved. The Botica
Alemanin, German drug store, was set
on fire by bolt Of fire which was thrown
out of the volcano which is constantly
belchnig out lava. The volcano has open.
ed in front Of Santiago in laedgo, called
Ell Alto. De la Girachs. San Cayetanno,
was destroyed, and Santiago, in larger
part.
In Gramalata there was great destruc-
ton. Arboledc, Cucutilla and San Cristo-
balaie were nearly destroyed, principally
from the east. The population of these
towns is estimated as follows: San Caye-
tano, 1000; Santiago, 1000; Gramalata,
5000; Arboleda, 5000; San Caistobalaie,
10000.
The section of country referred to en-
braces the region round about where COL

portion embracing st. Andrew. 1t is in
some respects the most productive part OF
the Republic, and it's coffee is famous the
world over San Jose de Neivata at the
time of the disaster had population csti.
mated at about $4,000. It had a large
commercial business, and was a great de-
pot for coffee and cocoa for shipment,
either through the Venezuelan ports, or
down the Magdalcna to Panama. The
shock was felt sharply in Bogota and adj
joining vicinity. A gentleman who was
for time in Facatulara says the move

From the N. Y. Herald. Jan, G.l

The annual auction of pews in Ply.
mouth Church took place in that build
ing last evening. Shortly after SIX
o'clock the house was lighted and
thrown open, and in half an hour the
whole cdifice was crammed. The vast
audience was composed of the regular
members Of the Church, ladies and
gentlemen, and pretty extensive
sprinkling of strangers. These latter
were, of course, curiosity-seckcrs, and
their presence was readily detected, so
different were they in appearance from
the regular hdbifues Of the church.
For more than half an hour before the
time appointed for the sale of seats. a
commotion was made in the halls and
passage ways of the building
by men who passed to and fro,
up and down hurried!y, talking
together, making entries in little books
and whispering and meeting and cscap-
ing from each other. Some few ladies
Joined in this mysterious business, but
many of them seemed to be advising
and urging the men, and whispers and
entries in the little books seemed to
follow from their advice. It afterwards
turned out that all the running and CO.
ing and talking was speculations on the
result of the coming auction and the ell
tries in the books were bets on both
sides Of the subject. Some were Of
opinion that the proceeds would ex-
coed the returns of last year, and
others were doubtful that their expec-
tations on the point would be realized.
A few minutes before seven o'clock Mr..
Beecher made his appearance on the
platform in front of the organ and
said:-
LADIES AND GENr1EMEN--You need
not look at the clock. The minister's
watch is what we go Dy here. In JAN
uary, 1850, this building was first OPEN

Of the paper currency. Whilst we are hfm
believers in the theory that currency must

impossible to force return TO spec'e-paS-

unon the vessel containing it. AS in the one
case the pressure would tend TO make the solid

payments were ever resumed they would be
resumed without any contraction of the
volume of paper money. Congress last win

posed for a general contraction Of the cur

coin currency. But very much to the sur.
prise Of the originators of the measure, and
the 6nauciers of Wall street, gold Is much
higher to-day than it was when the act was
passed. If there were eight hundred mil
