General Sherman and the Indians. General Sherman made a speech to the In dians in the council on the North Platte last week. He told them the Pacific Railroad must be built, and that they could not be permitted to interlero with it. He added: If the Indians are daroased, they will receive compensation. He supposed tbey had agreed on the Powder river road in the Laramie treaty last spring. While the Indians continue to wage war, the road will not be given up, but it the Indians' right is found good, it will be given up, or com pensation paid, if tbey keep the peace. Powder and lead would not be given them until a ded nite treaty was made. A railroad train had been attacked, and men were killed who had no guns, but were bringing goods, some ot which were to feed the IndianB. A proposition was then submitted for the Indians to accept homes on the new reservations, and they were given until the 1st of November to answer at the Council to be held at North Platte; at the same time they could hunt on the Republican. The General also represented that we were building costly roads, and they could not be stopped any more than the sun and moon in the East, You hardly think, he said, what you call war here is, but ir you make up your minds it will come to the Plains thick, where there are the largest nerds of bud aloes, and Kill you an. tie alio told tbe Indians that if they wanted to go East and see for themselves, they would be "dead headed" throueh. The Chief responded that they only asked for ammunition, which the Commission finally concluded to give. Tbe Commission returned to Omaha. Tbe Reported Defalcation In Wind barn, Vt. A correspondent of the Boston Journal, writing from Chester. Vt., Sept. 19, says: "Tbe town of Windham is in an unusual state of excitement, growing out of the investigations recently made in tbe financial atfalrs of a promi nent citizen of that town. The particulars, as we learn them, are as follow?: Henry Peirce, a Well-to-do farmer, and who, previous to this transaction, has borne an irreproachable char acter, absconded ou the' 12ih instaut, taking with him several thousand dollars which had been procured from moneyed institutions and private individuals upon the representation that he was endeavoring to obtain a large amount of money tor the purpose of purchasing blooded eheep, with which he was going to stock his farm. Parties who had loaned him money, placing entire confidence in his Integrity, re mained perfectly easy until the Kith instant, when the truth was made public that he was a defaulter. Monday a letter was received by his father, which was postmarked at Milwaukee, Wis., containing a deed properly executed, con veying all his real estate to Jiim lor security, he having signed notes as security at the Jamaica Bank, which loses heavily by the transaction. One firm loses to the amount of SllUU. mis snairistne nrst of the. kind that has ever occurred in Windham, and the excite ment is intense." Tbo Board of Ministers at Buffalo. XnrrALO. N. Y.. 8epU 23.

Difficulty as to Who Shall Conduct tbe Nashville Election Proclamations of tbe Governor and Mayor Prospect of a Collision. Nashville, Tcnn., Sept. 23. A conflict of authority has arisen between Governor Brown low and the city authorities as to who is the proper party to appoint oflicers to conduct the election which takes place here on Saturday. The Registration Commissioners have appointed one set of oflicers, by direction of the Govornor, while the City Council has appointed another set. The Governor has issued a proclamation threatening militia interference if tbe civil au thorities persist, while Mayor Brown has issued a proclamation insisting that the city appointees will superintend the election. General Cooper is now concentrating militia here. On the other hand the Mayor will swear in a large number of extra police to resist the militia if necessary. A bloody collision is imminent If some party dues not back down. President Johnson has been appealed to by the city authorities. AFFAIRS IN KANSAS. German Convention at Topeka General Smith Itefuses to Furnish Troops to Protect Laborers on the PaclAc ;itall road. Leavenworth, Kansas, 8ept. 24. A Conven tion of the Germans of this State met to-day at Topeka to consider the political situation. Forty-five delegates were present. Female and negro suffrage were freely discussed, a majority preferring to ignore these questions in the cam paign and devote themselves to tbe question of religious arid social rights. The Convention is still in session to-night, no definite action having been taken as yet. The contractors on the Union Pacific Railroad applied to-day to General Smith for additional troops, or work would stop, owing to Indian depredations. General Smith replied that he had no troops to spare. Governor Crawford has tendered General Sherman one or more regiments of volunteers to protect the laborers. West of Fort Hayes the Indians are holding a high carnival. OBITUARY. -William Medley. This gentleman, one of the electricians of the Cuba cable, died recently at Key West, after a short illness, of yellow fever. He accompanied the steamship Narva from England, and was of great service to his company during the laying of the cable from Key West to Havana. Mr. Medley was also one of the electricians of the Atlantic cables of 1865-6G, and was looked upon as one of the ablest men of his profession in England. Philip Crookes. Mr. Philip Crookes, another of the Cuba cable electricians, died on board the Narva on the 31st of August last, and was buried at sea. X el low fever, the same disease which carried off Mr. Medley, was tbe cause of his death. Stoddard B.Colby, Register of the United States Treasury. Stoddard B. Colby, of Washington, Register of the United States Treasury, died at Haverhill, N. H., on Saturday night, where he was on a visit. His illness was quite protracted aud painful. He was a native of lierby, Va., and about fifty years of age. PROJECTED PRIZE-FIGHT. William Davis and Charles Gallagher to Clght Near Detroit. Cleveland Sept. 23. For several days sport iug ciiclea in this city have beett enlivened by a bitter newspaper war betweeu William M. Davis, a prize ring veteran, and Charles Gallagher, a young aspirant for fistic honors, s to tho rela tive honors of each. The controversy culmi nated at the American House this morning, in the two men meeting and signing articles of acreement to fight on the 5th of October, within fifty miles of Detroit, for $300 a side, to be in creased to $500 11 the parlies see fit Arthur Gore, of Detroit, backs Gallagher. Davis is backed by Johnny Mackey. Davis is the man who figured in the made-up fight with Elliott last May, and Gallagher first jattracted attention through being matched to fight Elliott, on the 9th of July last, which match fell through, owing to Gallagher's illness. Cotton-Raising In the Sandwich Islands. Tbe Honolulu Gommarcial Advertiser of July 20 has the following statements about cotton raising at the Sandwich Islands: "The schooner Nettie Merrill brought from Niihau, a few davs ago, some 6500 pouuds, and tbe steamer and Kona Packet some 4000 pounds from Hawaii, of the very choicest Sea Island cotton. That from Hawaii was raised by a native, who received $355 for cotton brought down this week, including a premium of $100, which he had earned, and who has been paid nearly $1000 for cotton delivered by him dur ing the past twelve months. This would indi cate that the article can be grown here in cer tain localities, although on the Island of Oahu the cultivation ot it has nearly ceased, owins; to the caterpillars and drought, which entirely destrojed the plantations in 1866. There are certain tracts of low moist land near the sea on each of the islands, both on the weather and lee sides, where this plant will thrive better than anything elte, and these are the localities which should be selected the nearer tbe sea the bet ter; and of soils, sandy soil is the best Any foreigner, who has the land, can engage pro fiablv in cotton-growing, with very little outlav of capital. The reward of his labor, on favor able soil, will be from fifty to Bixty dollars au acre, though good management may. perhaps. increase it to eighty or a hundred dollars. Sugar-cane does not average this return to culti vators, to say nothing of having to wait three times as long for the pay." The Cotton Crop Estimate of tho Mew Orleans "1'lcayune." Washington. Sept. 23. The New Orleans Picayune, received here to-day, In answer to a correspondent who hopes for 2,600,000 bales of cotton as the result of ths present crop, savs that it (the crop) will not reach "2,000.000 bales.'' As the Picaitoiw, is known in nrvsaons vtj. slve means of information, and as its judgment is always valuable on the subject of the crops, the above estimate of the cotton crop is au lm- yvi uuii uuc, emu wormy oi consiaeration. Blair Upon tho Cabinet. A Washington despatch to tho Boston Journal says: 'Montgomery Blair, in his speech yepterday, at the bladeuBburtr mass medium rfo,i tbe Cabinet as 'a set of political vermin and said that Secretary beward, on the eve of the coming elections, was endeavoring to betray the Administration into the hands of its enemies lie believed that tbe President would ha im peached, and declared that tbe present condi tion or things was wuuout precedent in the history or me country."

The London correspondent of the New York Times writes as follows: It is the dull season, and the Times gives an entire page to a review ot the first report of the Ritual Commission. Wishing to see what the Ritualists think of It, I went out and bought a copy et the Church Times. It is agitated, but not frightened. It considers these secret in quiries very unsatisfactory. It predicts that any law on tho subject will be as dead as the Ecclesiastical Titles bill against the Roman Catholic". But it is not so much in its direct treatment of the subject that the plucky ritualist, organ shows its spirit, as In Its reports ot ritual services. At the dedication festival of St. Michael's, Sboredilch, the church at which Bishop Gray, oi Capetown, the excommnnicator of Bishop Colcnso, lately officiated, we are told that "The choir, about sixty In number, followed bv the clergy, entered tba west door, Blueing a procesdonal bvnm. The procession was beaded by tbe cruelfer and two ihurllers all three In scarlet cassocks and cottas. Banners were borne at Intervals la tb ' pro-cch-Ioo. Another crueller, bearing-a cruclHx, .pre ceded the oiliclunt, wlio, wearing a magnificent while and gold cope, walked last lie was attended bv the cereuionurlus Inn purple cassock and co.ta, and by the sacristan and Buh-sscriitlau. The Anliphoiu to the Psalms and MauiUflrat were sung by two ctntors In cyttfis and scarlet cassocks. Upon and beside the altar was a largo nuinb-r ol lighted tapers, as well as on the rrod srreen; while around the altar cruclllz and on the reiable stood vases of choice (lower. The grand feature of the servli-e was tbe Matmlflcai, at which the oillclant In bis cope stood before the altar, attended by two assistant prlcsis, banner bearers, ceremonarlus, sacrlslun, cautors, and cruel fern, while the tburll'ers sent forth clouds of Incense. On Thursday morning there were two low masses, at 6 and 7. ;ood accounts are given ol 'Father Nihil' and 'Father Steele.' The lutier 'goes out Into the alleys ol Hhoredltch on Sunduy nights and collects all the ragged boys he can find. When they are all as sembled, sometimes to the number of I5 or more, he addresnes a few words to them, and relittes a number of anecdotes, after which Is sung a metrical htitny or a hymn. Already these boys have agreed among themselves to protect the Flsters of Mercy tram lusuit In the streets, not to throw stones at the church, and Dot to play at pitch and toss,' " Of the sermon of a leading Ritualist divine t is said: "He refuted several objections raised by Protestants, and said that Catholics could not now be charged with not reading their Bibles. While admitting the prayertuiiiess of many good Protestants, he maintained that they larked one thing which we bad, the Eucharlstic sacrifice, with which to unite eur prayers." Wo have an account of the lor mat ion of u new religious Anelican order "The Brotherhood of the Holy Redeemer, a body of lay preaching friars." "Ritualism," we are told, "Is the pro gress of thetCatholic movement towards ihe final reunion of Curis'.endom; it means the overthrow of Protestantism." Of Sunday schools and the teaching of children It is said: "The Church cannot busy herself with the mere letter of Scripture, with inquiries as to Jehoiakim's great-erand ather, and the number ot knives brought back from Babylon." What is wanted is a larue cruciSx iu tbe school room, with plenty of large well-colored Scrip ture prints, easy Beats, lots of music, and very small doses of catechism. "Then there is only one church service to which the little things should be brought in the morning, atui that is mass, with plenty of ritual and hymns." For spice we have attacks on Low Churchmen and Anti-Ritualists. Tbey are accused ot mutilat ing the service. There is no oblation of the bread and wine the words of administration are repeated but once for each group "it is not unusual for consecrated wine to be poured back into the bottle for future use, and the bread given away to a clerk to bring home." BaptiMU is not performed validly; absolution in the visitation of the sick is never pronounced," etc. etc. I give so much space to this matter, because it Is the question of the hour, aud one which attracts more attention than Parliamentary re form, the AbysBintan expedition, or the pre.spi.-ct of war on the continent. The octtou of tne Com mission, so far, is timid, weak, illogical, and about equally unsatisfactory to both parties. The Times' leaders on the subject are written by Dr. Camming, author of works on keeping bees and the Apocalypse, and who lectures in the Frovinces on "No Peace with Rome." And the Commission gets no mercy from the Dissenters. "You call upon Ritualists to abandon non-essential tortus and ceremonies which offend you," they say; "then why do you not abandon others which offend us, and keep us out of your communion ?" The Ritualists seem zealous and confident enough to hold their own; but there are diffi culties in tbeir position worse than any that persecution can bring them. They are obliged to denounce the very bishops who ordain tbem, and to hold that they have received from those bishops sacerdotal powers, in which the bishops do not believe, and which tbey bad, of course, no intention to bestow. There is no authority, and can be no obedience. The Ritualist clergymen, in effect, defy the whole bench ot bishops, and utterly repudiate any power of Parliament to Interfere with them. They appeal to the general doctrine and practice of the Church, but from the Church to which tney appeal tuey are as entirely severed as any sect ot Dissenters. Each priest rules over bis own flock, and is Pope of his own parish, an inde pendent but rather disorderly position. The bishops, now so divided in doctrine, must agree among themselves, or their position is lost. If they agree against the ritualists, or in favor of them, there must still be disaster. The ritual ists have the settled and avowed purpose of un doing the work of Protestantism and reuniting England and Rome; and this the Protestant party will resist to the last extremity. On the otner nana, tne Uhuich cannot afford to drive so rich, so able, and so zealous a body of clergy and laity as tbe ritualists into open rebellion. It is a very difficult position. It is said that tbe Church of England is broad and compre hensive enough to include all shades of belief. That may be so as long as noueof the shades are loo much in earnest to tolerate the opoosite shades; but when men grow zealous for' their faith, they are too apt to grow In the same de gree intolerant ot what tuey consider error. A Stjnbay Amono the Ritualists Th Pall Mai. uaiette tives the following account of a recent festival Sunday at St. Bartholomew's Church, Moor lane, London: "At the morning service antiphons were sung Deiore ana auer eacn oi me psalms ot the day. and also belore and after the canticles. The lessons were read by a young layman, vested in a otue merino areas wnn a long tram, and a girdle of the same material round his waist. over which be wore a short surplice of very light fabric, thus enabling the colors of the cassock or gown to show througb.

The Rev. A. Squib, curate in charsre. preached tbe sermon, which lasted only six minutes. At tne evening service the altar was very tastefully decorated with flowers and can dies. The service commenced at 7 o'clock and Unit-bed at a quarter to 10. This was partly accounted for by the length of some of the hymns, and the introduction of antiphons, etc One of the hymns consisted ol twentv-six verses. The sermon was preached by Father Ignatius, irom the words 'Comfort ye, comfort ye, my people, salth the Lord.' After i an explanation of the text, the preacher proceeded in his man- l0 rebuke the worldllness of the preseut sge. He could not speak comfortably' to his hearers. How could he 'speak comfortably' to 0te who ?ent to theatres, balls, aud casinos t S w'Vf? that mor than half of the people nuw uou mat morning received the boiy com uuuiuu, u tney were to die before next Bunday, WOUld KO Straight tn hull A Tl,e r tnl to hate the world, but how could people be said to hate the world who frequented such places f xne semen lasted about an hou and a half."

The New York Times oi this morning says: "The full rate of 7 per cent, for money Is paid by the brokers to-day as the general ruls. The escentlons at 8 per cent, are lu favor of Govern ment collateral. Most of the lenders started early with their accounts this morning, and by J o'clock the market worked quite steadily. Some of tho prominent bank officers talk with more conndenoe of the course of the supply and demand, and while some of the Western banks at the great grain ports oontlnue to rely upon their corresponding banks here for short dis counts, tbe proceeds are not all drawn In cur rency, as a week or two ago, but by checks on New York to pay for goods, or on mercantile inifairemenU here. The lawful teuder surplus, m policed above, and tbe disbursemenu since Friday from tbo Treasury will keep the bank movement comparatively easy through the re mainder of this month, but should tbe Western demand for currency continue after that time, there Is a reasonable probability that the Secre tary of the Treasury will employ a portion of his three per cent, legal-tender certificates to the relief of the trade demands of the country to move the crops. The neccf sily for represent ing this point ton' by the Associated Banks of the great cities, who have to supply the West, hoe not yet occurred, but we have no doubt it will be taken Into consideration be fore another instalment upon the compound lreal-tender notes falls due, which will be about tbe 15th of October. Meanwhile we bave as little question that the policy of tbe Department will be to further reduce its cur rency balances by disbursements or purchases of 7'30 per cents, at New York. The grant of authority by Congress to fortify tho associated banks of tbe large cities with $50,000,000, to take the place of a corresponding amouut of compound notes withdrawn, was made for just such a contingency in tbe money market as we find now occurring from tbe demands to move the Western crops, and we think that Mr. licCul loch, as a Western man, understands the force ot this point and his own duty in the premises, without any very urgent representations in ad vance of or to justify his action. "The Gold Market opened a little higher than the closing rate of Saturday, 1434 per cent., and the sales ran up to 143143 for a short time, but subsequently returned to 143143i. and closed about 142J per cent. The cash gold is easy, and from 5 to 7 per cent, interest is paid to carry over balances." PHILADELPHU STOCK EXCHANGE SALK3 TO-DAY Reported by Debaven A Bro., No. 40 8.

The Yellsw Fever at New Orleans. Dr. II. R. Llnderman, Director of the Mint, bas handed us the lollowing interesting letter for publication: United Btatics Branch Mist, Niw Orlcans, Pepi. 19, 1867. My Dear Sir:-1 arrived here night be lore last, aud found everything In a satisfactory state. Including the health of all the men employed here. From thr papers you will bave seen that the epidemic Is si 111 on tbe Inoiease, and spreading Into tbe smaller towns bordering upon the lake shore and river bank, with an unususl fatallty. Bo far as I can learn, there bave been but very few cases among tbe natives or thoroughly aceliooated; but children up to tbe aneof fourteen years, though born here, are frequently taken down with the disease, but tbe mortality among tbem is, perhaps, a little less than it would be among onac cllmated persons of the same age. In approaching tbe city by tbe Jackson Railroad, It was readily perceived now great ana wiuespreau ne panio is. t ne oars . going northward were full, while In the southern train, In which I travelled, I was the only through passenger, and out aoout twenty way paasengeis, picked up wlibln the last hundred miles. I am afraid I shall be obliged to delay the com mencement ot tbe contemplated repairs nntil tbe epi demic has somewhat abated, as It will be dlnlcult to gel men. This same trouble will also delay my operations in the lighthouse business, the workmen having nearly all been called lu from tbe works in progress. Quite a number et deaths bave taken place among the crews of tbe llKhtboose vessels, amoug tbem a very sad case. Mr. istanley (a Baltlmorean), Chief Engi neer of the steamer Geranium, bad two sons with him as firemen. One was left behind here sick, while the steamer proceeded to Brasbear. on tbe voyage the other son took tbe fever aud died, aod was refused burial in tbe cemetery of Brashear City. Tbe father, wliile engaged In the mournful duty of burying his son In the barren sands of tbe beacb, received a tele gram announcing tbe death of Ihe other son in this oitv, thus leaviug him alone. With my best regards to the officers of the Mint, and my warmest thanks lor tbe kind Interest you have taken In my behalf, I am. very truly, your friend BONZANO. Hon. H. R. Llnderman, Director Unlte'd states Mint, Philadelphia, Pa. From St. Louis. St. Louis, Sept. 21. The 18th Kansas Regi ment left Fort Hays on Sunday for Fort Lamed, to protect the Indian Commissioners.
