ing at Ottawa on Thursday of last week az
iourned to meet again on Thursday of ncA'
wcek-January 10Th, at O'Clock +. NJ, at Il I

week but were prevented 10y the severity OF the
weather. Let them come next week. There
is much important work to do for which no
provision has yet been made. The canal must
have friends AT Springfield and Washington.
1t can indulge in no expensive lobby agents,
but its importance is of such magnitude that
il must command attention when properl,
brought to the notice OF our Legislators and

GOLp AND SILVER CROP.-According 10 a
statement Just issued from the Wells & Fargo
Express office in San Francisco, the yield OF
all our Pacific coast mines in gold and silver
last year was S72S77, l62-about half gold and
half silver THIS is about ST. ,267 900 less than
the yield of 1877. The greatest falling oil is
in Nevada, Sl6,39S,00O, caused by the reduc-
ton of the ComstoCk lode mines from S37
OIL 900 in 1877, to $2l ,295 900 in 1878 Inhis
late report Secretary Sherman stated the gold
and silver products of our mines WAS nearly
500, 100000 a year, and this Is about what ii
has been up to the last year. But the marked
decrease in Nevada interiercs with the Secrc.
tary's estimate materially. The mines on the
Comstock lode have reached depth at which
the lode shows signs of exhaustion, and At
which mining begins to be improbable on ac'
count Of the great expense attending it. 1t is
stated, however, that the Wells Fargo estimate
is too low by $l00O0,0O of the gold and silver
yield of Colorado, ana that 1t attaches less i'm.
portancc than it ought To the rapidly develop
ing mines IN Arizona

NEW INDIAN OUTBREAK.

The Cheyenne Indians who escaped from
the Indian country last summer and made tina,
remarkable tligh, through western Kansas and
Nebraska, being finally captured and corralled
or imprisoned ut Fort Robinson, are again
loose and on the war path. The officers al
Fort Robinson had been long time trying tC
persuade them to return to the Indian country
This they stoutiy refused to do. Not being
able to persuade or coax them the officers tried
to freeze and starvc the Indians into CompIi
ancc by Withholding their customary ratons
and fuel This led to trouble. The chief
Wild Hog, being invited to the officers quar-
tiers for "A talk" became contumacious, and a
soldier being ordered to seize him, he turned
on the soldier and stabbed him. The remain
ing savages barricadcd themselves in their
quarters and prepared for fight and flight. On
Thursday morning they dashed through the
prison windows, and, firing on the guard with
rcvolvers which they had succeeded in con.
ccaling, all ran for the open prairie. The
guard opened fire on the fleeing savages shoot.
ing them down by dozens in the frozen snow,
presenting scene that discounts the Custer
massacre. The troops at last accounts were IN
pursuit of the fleeing savagcs. killing them
without mercy,
Four soldiers Of the Sd cavalry were wound
ed and one poor fellow killed, having been
shot through the heart. Dull Knife the Chcy-
cnnc savage leader, is numbered among the
dead, having been shot through the head. Over
$50 cavalrymen, mounted, were in pursuit,
while others are employed in carrying in the
dead and wounded savagcs, Thirty dead In.
