Route of the cheyennes.

Route OF the Cheyennes.
Associated Press Dispatch. ~
Camp Robinson, Oct. 6.-About $50
this evening a soldier courier arrived
from Camp Sheridan with telegraphic
dispatches. He said that when nearing
Dead Horse creek, about twenty-five
miles from this post, a little after noon,
he met some stock men who excitedly
informed him that the Indians had
crossed the Sheridan ruad, a mile dis
tant, an hour previous. Having come
to the point where the Indians were
said to have crossed, he distinctly saw
the trail, corroborating the cattle mems
story. This point has been repeatedly
mentioned by several well known old
frontiersmen residing in the vicinity,
as most likely the point at which the
hostiles would pass. The courier also
states that the cattle men informed
him that the Indians had large herd
of ponies with them and were travelling
rapidly in the direction of Red Clouds
new location on White Clay. This may
not be the main body of the Cheyennes.
but there is very little doubt that it
is their advance guard.

THE PACIFIC.
Pacific Steamer Lost.


New York, Oct. 7.-Intelligence Of
the loss of the Pacific mail steamer
Georgia was received by the company
late this afternoon. The dispatch states
that the Georgia was coming out of the
harbor of Puntas Arenas, about forty
eight hours sail from Panama, when
she struck on reef and went aground.
The steamer was going to San Francis
CO and had on board the passengers Of
the steamer Colon Of the same line.
The passengers and crew and every
thing on board, the dispatch stated,
were saved. The Georgia had five cabin
and forty steerage passengers, besides
q large cargo of merchandise. Capt.
Howard commanded the vessel, which
had full complement of men. The
Georgia was large iron screw steamer
and was built few years ago at a cost
of about S400, 900. and at the time Of
her loss was fully insured. 1t is not
known at the Pacific mail offices wheth-
er her cargo was insured or not, but
the general belief is that 1t was.

From Thornburgh.

Associated Press Dispatch.
Ogalalla, Oct. 6.-Four stock men
who went from here as guides with Col.
Thornburgh returned this evening.
They report that Thornburgh was still
after the Indians when they left the
command, at p. m. yesterday. They
had travelled twenty miles without wa
ter. and no signs Of reaching any for
twenty-five miles further. The Indians
made directly west, then turned and
travelled south toward the Platte river,
abandoning horses every few miles,
leaving them with pack saddles on their
backs, being too closely pursued to take
time to unsaddle them. q
Another courier arrived at Big
Spring this evening with a dispatch
from Thornburgh saying that the In
dams have scattered all over the coun-
try and were abandoning ponies every
few miles. He also reports his own
stock very tired, having abandoned
some on the way. %

tory fugitives, reached that place yes
terday afternoon and at once mingled
with Red Clouds Indians amid great
exultation.
The Cheyennes were loud in their
boasts that they had come back as they
promised when they were taken away.
Dull Knife, the chief, was especially
elated.
Red Cloud has committed no ex-
cessess, and controls his band only with
difficulty. They intend remaining here
until the necessary buildings are erect
ed. They have so far made no endeavor
to go to the Black Hills, at least in a
body, though there are struggling hunt
ing parties through the country. While
there are some Of the Spotted Tail
Sioux here the body Of them are still at
their agency, but they are naturally
agitated by the stories of the Cheyennes
and the tramp of the Red Cloud band i.

ENGLAND desires to give an inter-

Everywhere there is shown a great desire to expand
their trade with the United States and the least
prosperous exchequers OF these governments
ready to be opened to share in the expenses of
postal communications. OF whose value in
promoting foreign commerce their experience
furnishes irrefragable proof.
Fosrth-While less immediate and less simple
sures, about which judgments may not readily con-
cur. may properly be canyassed by our people, now
eager for restoration and extension of foreign
merce. upon this simple and first step of direct.
regular and frequent postal communication between
the United States and the principal commercial ports
of Central and South America there would and ought
to be room for doubt.
SUBSIDIES NECESSITY.
If this be it is obviously the dictate of interest
and duty the part of the government TO promote.
by every just and appropriate means. the attainment
of this first and principal agency for the desired
pansion of our foreign commerce. 1t is difficult to
understand how this commencement and develop
ment of an postal system. to be a fore
runner of the expected trade. be wholly trusted to
the mere interests Of mercantile combinations.
The governments of foreign States with which this
commerce is to be opened ready to take their part
in the public expense of this postal communication
with the United States and the participation or nom
participation by the United States i'll this public ex-
pense seems to be the turning point in the accept
ance rejection of the reciprocal trade proered
us.

TOOMBS INTERVIEWED.

From the Washington Post, Dec. 1871
IL do not like to be interviewed and have public
expression given to my views through the press In
Georgia there no politics except opposition to
radicalism."
.what do you think of Mr.. Blane's last dcmonstra-
tion in the Senate, General?'' asked the Iost.
IL am not at all connected with politics now" he
answered. .yet / have objection to saying that
Mr. Baines course has been shrewd. He has fol-
lewcd the only line i'll which his party could by any
possibility regain their lost power There is nothing
left them except to keep aliye sectional hate and
strife. The calm judgment of an overwhelming
majority OF the people North and South is against
the destructive misrulc of the radical party and the
only hope Of in the future of that party is
arouse that sectional hostility from which spring all
the evils destructive to the interests OF the
try.

south to-day arises III copnecton with the produc-
ton of cotton This production, instead OF being
managed heretofore. will have to bc differently
regulated. In place of cotton fields we must havu
M in former days, and wheat fields and cotton
patches. The cultivation of cotton in this way might
be profitable but only to the extent of employing
plus labor IL should not be the leading crop, but the
people should make their own supplies ut home and
devote their surplus labor to limited culture of
cottou.o
