MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.
CHEYENNE BRAVES.

n LlUCOlIl, N0D., QlS E)dUCu uittCu Wv.
18th says several unfounded reports
of Indian depredations in this state have
been published since the Cheyennes
passed north along the Colorado line.
The adjutant general Of Nebraska is
now in the western part of the state land
telegraphs from Kearney to Gov. Gar
Der, that no hostile Indians are within a
hundred and fifty miles of that place.
The only depredations, were running
off forty ponies from Wilson rancho.
There is considerable anxiety concern
ing the safety of the two parties of forty
men who were surveying government
lands on the NiObara river, on the I'M
mediate track of the Cneyennes. No
word from them for two weeks.
REVIVAL OF TRADE.
A telegram from New York, dated
Oct. 18th, saws: The first seven weeks
of the fall trade show that the sales
have been better than during any of
the corresponding periods since the
panic Since the LIST of January there
has been an increasing balance of for
eign trade in our favor, equal to $780,
100000 at this port alone, and the ex-
ports are now regularly far in advance
of the imports. Inquiries extended
among prominent merchants elicit the
belief that the revival of trade has &C
tually begun.
GOULD'S BLACK FRIDAY CHECKED.
The BROOKLYN Eagle of Oct 10th says
the manner III which Gould, through
his stock house, Belden e Co., has
manipulated the gold and stock markets
since the 9Th inst, IS likely to be fully
exposed by investigation into the case
Of Haar & Co., by the courts, and pos
sibly by the Stock Exchange. Enough
is known, however, to sustain the allie
cation that Gould planned a Black
Friday panic, and might have succeed
ed had not his plans been deranged by
Sec. Sherman's coming to the relief of
the market. Gould mad made money
stringent Saturday, and, according to
the Eagle, had his plans perfected to
spring disaster upon a prominent tinan-
cial institution on Monday, but that the
secretary arrived, gold fell money eased
up, and Gould was compelled to cover
his shorts, while Haar & Co. were left in
the cold. There was nothing sensation
al on Change to-day. The feeling was
feverish, but no important movements
resulted.
HOW INDIAN WARS ARE INCITED.
Gen. 0. 0. Howard telegraped Oct
18th from Fort Vancouver that a
Umatilla Indian was murdered on the
2Sth ult by white men, and that the
Umatillas have within the last three
weeks lost 500 horses, taken by whites.
He asks, Cannot the United States
district-attorney be instructed by the
encouragement to attend to this and
other cold-blooded murders of Indians
by white men? A few examples of
such Justice would do more for peace
than whole summers campaign"
The foregoing WAS indorsed by Gen
Sherman, as follows: 'The Umatilla
Indians should be protected in their
lives and property as far as possible bv
the civil agents, as also by the military;
but, after the crime is committed, the
civil courts should try the case and adj
Judge the measure of punishment"
A dispatch thus Endorsed was sent by
Secretary McCrary to the Indian bureau
to-day, and Acting COMMISSIONS Leeds
has referred it to Secretary Schurz, with
promptly taken to bring the guilty par
ties to punishm ent.
