Clifford, Esq, deputy collector here, as follows:
Saturday last, at D. M, SO miles east.nOrth-

The captain and crew, five in all, taking to a
hastily constructed raft, on which they were

gallon of molasses for nourishment, the sur
Vivors have no recollection of them, but sup
posed the captain died Thursday. The other

THE INDIANS.
A Difference of Opinion.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-Gen. Sherman,
speaking OF Indian affairs at Fort Peck. said
Sitting Bull could not be coming in to do vio-
lence, because he haseonly handful of follow
ers. perhaps not twenty men. 1.-THE old fellow
is tired of lighting and worn out with harassng.
Almost all his warriors have left him, and he
wants to come in now to be cared for aud fed.
He sees he has no chance now but this, except
of being hunted down by soldiers who are after
him continually"
Frontier men who profess to know Sitting
Bull and his warriors do not agree with this
view. They say that his visit will not prove
OF pacific character. There are no troops at
Fort Peck, which is only trading post for In
dams on the Missouri, and hence, whatever the
object of his coming there, Sitting Bull can
have his own way. 1t is inferred that he il
gong to raid all along the Missouri for sup
plies and ammunition.

A Foolish Move
AT the regular meeting of the Methodist min
listers this morning, Rev. Mr. Dykenson moved
vote of censure upon President Grant for Wis
ting the Philadelphia exposition on Sunday.

WASHINGTON.
A European War and Our Bonds,

n GurOpeau war ana Our bonds.
NEW YORK, Oct PA Washington special
says Secretary Morrill, does not think that in
the event of war in Europe either the status of
our securities generally, or more particularly
that of a per cent loan and its growing sue
cess, would be materially affected. Should
Russia engage in war the demand for our bonds
might be choked temporarily, but eventually it
would benefit them, because they would be
more sought after as reliable secnrities.
Interfering With Our Neighbors
WASHINGTON, Oct ga Washington spec
ial this afternoon says there is a rumor in off,
cial circles that our government is drawing up
note to be addressed to the Spanish govern
ment protesting against the rigid prosecutions
OF Protestants throughout Spain and demand
ing that they be accorded religious liberty. Ac-
cording to the same authority this matter
has been the subject of correspondence between
our government and Great Britain and I'm.
Outstanding reachedithatlforma protest shall be
made by each government as has been done by
Germany.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Notwithstanding the
emphatic statements by August Belmont aud
others, letters 5ave been received here from
London saying that the Syndicate will not
make any efforts in connection with funding
American securities beyond what the contract
compels them to do, until the question of the
Presidential election is settled; and that in case
Governor Tilden is elected, they do not believe
it would be possible to MAKE any additional
steps successful. Not only have such advices
been received here from London, but similar
letters have reached persons representing Ger
tain Syndicate interests in New York. Further
than this, since Mr. Belmont's card appeared.
emphatic statements from persons authorized
to speak on the subject, have been received
here, asserting its incorrectness, The present.
alton of this aspect of the Presidential question
has excited the Democrats here more than any,
thing which has happened during the cam

government estimates that over 100000 persons
must be relieved in these districts alone. 1t is
stated the Monson crops have entirely failed,
