Gen. scoiIeld ON Indian Affairs.

WASHINGTON, November 30.-The re-
port OF Major General Scoiield, com.
manding the Military Division OF the
Pacific, after referring to the improve
ments, changes, transfers OF troops, &C.,
made at the several posts, recommends
that Camp Halleck, Nevada, be gradually
enlarged and improved, as the funds at
tho disposal OF the War Department may

the past few years have demons.
trated the utter inability Of the civ
Il department Of the Government to
maintain tile necessary control over
nnciviIized Indians. The effort TO con.
troll them through civil means while
they arc at peace on their reservations
and then turn them over to the army
when they leave their reservation or
commit acts Of hostility proved, as might
be expected, u most efficient means Of
producing war. The officers Of the army
are compelled to stand idly by, powerless
for good, while the promises made at
the cessation Of previous hostilities are
being violated, and wisdom and justice and
common honesty designated In the daily
treatment of the helpless savage who has
no possible means Of redress, but escape
from reservation where his life Is made
intolerable. Then the army Is called up
on to pursue the Indians, force them
back on their reservations, and punish
them for diobedience. Thus n war Is
inaugurated which could not have hap
pened il the Indians had been under
military control. 1t Is an entire mistake
to suppose that the transfer OF the
Indian Bureau necessarily means de-
pOrture from the "pcace policy" That
policy which is the dictate alike

New YoRK, November 30.--New4 to
2lst Of October has been received from
Liberia including accounts Of the battle
Of the 10Th. The following IL synopsis
Of letter from MOnrOvia to The heSecrelary
Of the Colonization Society here:
All the inland settlements have been
abandoned, and their inhabitants are at
Latrobe. The greater portion Of them
have lost all. On the 10th inst. our
troops made an attack on large native
town, which Is in sight Of Harper, and
were repulsed and retreNted in disorder,
several being killed and wounded leaving
in the hands Of the enemy three brass
field pieces with ammunition, which we're
turned upon LatrObe. The troops will
not probably renew the attack without
cannon. The Government iS unable to
maintain 70 large n force for any length
OF time, and for them to leave would be
for the enemy TO overrun the country.
The native coalition il both wide and
deep, extending from Bassa, forty miles
below Cape Pdlmas, between Grand Ia:
boo and Berreby, to the windward Of
the Grebo territory. The treasury is
empty and the public credit we'll nigh ex.
hatisted. II Ia said that English influence
has been active mitigating the natives ol
Cape Palmas, and The arrival OF every
English steamer from down the coast
brings 10 the enemy quantities OF ammu-
milton and guns.

John Edwards, Clayton N. Barr and

from Denver report that troops have been
ordered from Forts Lincoln and Union to
the vicinity of Cameron, New Mexico,
where the Apache Indians had revOlteG
some ten days since. II appears one Of
the Apache chiefs refused TO take the ra-
tions offered by the Government agent,
and after some words the Indian drew a
revolver and shot the agent through the
head. The affair caused great excitement,
and after the Indian was placed in irons
the rest Of the tribe made n general dis
turbance. There are grave fears that n
general outbreak OF the ApaChes and Utes
will take place, and much anxiety Is felt.

A somewhat lengthy discussion then
took place, Judge Krum, for the defense,
cOntending that the three counts OF the
indictment against bis client were INSULT
cient and should be Quashed,
Gen. Henderson, Tor the prosecution,
replied, and admitted that one Of the
counts was Insufficient but maintained
that the others were good and binding
upon the defendant.
The Court sustained Judge Krums
position ~ 10 two counts, and said he
should instruct the jury 10 return a YER
dict Of not guilty as 10 them. The other
counts were held to be good, and the de.
tense then proceeded with their side by
introducing three letters Of q social char.
aCter which had passed between Joyce and
Avery, and tending TO show that they
were in the habit Of using such familiar
names AZ Billy and Aleck, Joyce's middle

citing day on the Stock Exchange with
wider and more frequent fluctuations
and greater activity than for long time

ture, opening at 81 against 7Dt at the
close last evening, and shortly afterwards
reacting to sol. From this point there
was a steady rise to S2S. Pacific Mail nd.
vanced from AZ to 4Sb on very large
business; Kansas Pacific advancedto lOl;
Lake Shore to 62l; Missouri, Kansas 4
Texas to 81; 81, Paul to S6ii preferred to

rumors were set aAoat about tho Michi.
gan Central, II being reported that there
was q defalcation In the company and
that committee OF the directors had been
appointed to investigate its affairs On
this rumor Michigan Central declined to
81. Following this rumor was set
aAoat that Commodore Vanderbilt was
sick, which turned out to be untrue; but
market was sold down on the story. The
market was also affected unfavorably by
war rumors, which advanced the price Of
gold to 1l5s. After the rumors about
Michigan Central and the sickness Of
Commodore Vanderbilt, Wall street was
excited by reports that the President had
read his message to the Cabinet, and that
portion relating TO Cuba was Of such war
like character that itcreated dissentlons In
the Cabinet, and that orders had been re-
ceived from Washington to ssi2e the Atlan-
tic cables and prevent the receipt or trans.
mission Of private dispatches. On these
reports gold was rushed up TO ll5s, and
q dash was made at the stock market
which carried prices down for q time,
Toward the close OF business reliable tele.
grams from WaShinton denied the above
reports and stated that the President had
not yet completed that portion Of his
message which will treat Of the Cuban
question, and that he would not be ready
to submit II to the Cabinet until
their next meeting on Friday. When
this became known gold decided
and stocks rallied. In the final
