THE COTTON MARKET yesterday was
very frm for low grades; better grades
were offering freely st quotations. The
general position OF cotton was strong.
There was a holiday at Liverpool, and
we have therefore no quotations from
that market, tut New York and New
o leans quoted higher. The New York
Bulletin Of Wednesday says: "HOlders
sill retrsined from urging the sale Of
their supplies, but offered a little more
freely, II anything, and in some cases
intimAted that q concession would be
made to increase business, but no alter
alton wSs msde on the general table Of
q Iotations." The Memphis cotton ex-
change received the following from the
New York Chronicle: "With one ex-
ception, progress is satisfactory; that is,
the weather l. generally suited for coed
development, and information is mostly
favorable, with exception to this, that

THREATENED DETECTION OF THE
FRIENDLY INDIANS.

BISMARCK, Dakota, July s, 1876.
gentleman who has just arrived here from
Berthold Agency where Arrickarees, Grosventres
and Mandans are stationed, says that, though these
Indians have always been friendly to the whites
and until last summer hostile TO the Sioux, they
have traded and talked much with Sitting Bull OF
late, and the Mandans and Grosvcntres are inclined
to abandon their agency and join him in his cam
paign against the whites. In April thirty lodges Of
Sitting Bulls adherents encampcd opposite Berthold
Agency for several weeks, ostenstby to trade, but
really
TO FORM TREATY
with the Indians Of the three tribes named above
and during that time they made the agency Indians
many presents. 1t was about this time that the
Berthold Indians refused to furnish scouts for Gen.
eral Custer, though they afterward reconsidered
their determination, and 1t Is probable there is
ground for the statement made by the gentleman
alluded to.
To the principal men on the frontier 1t seems GER
tairthat the government must take immediate and
effective measures to chastise the hostile Sioux.
there will be great and damaging detection from the
agencies Of Indians who have been heretofore
friendly. Should this occer. the Sioux would be
thereby greatly strengthened and encouraged.

They report no Indian disturbances on or about the

It has been favorite idea OF this chief to form

WHITE LEADERS AMONG THE sAvAGEs.
Among his followers arc renegades and des-
peadoes from every northern agency and men
who were In Reno's battle informed the HERALD
correspondent that the indians were led IN their
attacks by whites. Men also who have been
gagged where attacks have been made on the Black
Hills trains inform me that every instance they
heard English voices urging the Indians to the
attack. The Indians are desperate and are goadcd
forward by desperate men, and the government
must either surrender the frontier to these savages
