I'lKhteen Indln.ru Carried Over the Fulls of the Yellowstone Hlver The Wliolo Party Meet with luntnnt Death. A correspondent of the Helena (Montatsa Territory) Herald, writing from tho Old Militia Camp, on the Yellowstone river, under date of May 11, tells the following terrible &tory: A rirty composed of Jules Farrar, Pierre Bernard. Ike Hedges, George llenden, a Crow Indian, and the undersigned, left thi3 place on tie 13th of Mari.li, for a trip to tho almost unknown falls ot the Yellowstone. On the '2d of April, about 10 A. M., wo halted at the bate of borne foot-hills, there being sonic signs of gold, and commenced sinking a hole. e bad not 'proceeded long with our work be fore h e were 6tartled by seeing our Crow Indian running swiftly towards us. Ho reported a rrr.all band of Indians, known as Sheep-eaters, chtant about four miles above, and in the same c.uon. AVe felt uo great uneasiness, however, Knowing fuN weU tnat with our improved lire arms, vv a would be enabled to overcome fifty of the sneaking red devils. TLe same night our pack-horses, three In numltr. were run oft by the "Sheep-eaters;" we started in pursuit belore daylight, and tho sun was not more than filteen minutes high when we struct their trail. From the appearance of tho same, it was evident that they had at least four hours the 6tart of us. Upon cmcstioning our guide wc ascertained that the valley we were in, nnl which their trail followed, was bordered on both sides by precipitous moun tains, and there was no possible mode of egress cave by the upper end of the valley, wliich opened to the Yellowstone but a short distance nhove one of the falls. No sooner was this information elicited than away we sped In pursuit. After nearly three hours' sharp riding we came upon the band, aud in such a manner as to cause us some surprise, about midway in tho stream, where could be seen a hastily constructed raft, composed of driftwood joined together by thougs made of buckskin aud buffalo robes. Upon this strange craft were seen in tho centre thirteen braves, While five squaws were essaying to paddlo tho tmwicldy cralt to the opposite snore, with pieces of bark as substitutes for paddles. Our pack horses were in the river, as also were the Indian ponies. Four of the latter reached the opposite shoi This strange sight bursting upon our view rendered U6, for the time being, incapable of action. At a glance we could see that they were gradually going down stream, despite tho efforts of the squaws, and although our senses for the moment forsook us, the sharp crack of a rillo and the yell of a "Sheep-eater" told that the equanimity of our Crow guide .was well pre served. At thi3 juncture Pierre Bernard shouted out, "For God's sake, boys, don't murder them; they are bound to go over tho falls." We looked, and a sight met our gaze which was fearfully impressive. The raft having been caught in au eddy, not a vestige of it was to be seen, it having sunk several inches below the Burface, and tho Indians beeined to be like so maHy weird spirits floating on tho rushing waters. One of the Indians rose, and bending his bow shot our Crow through the arm. The 6hot was returned, and again a yell of pain was heard proceeding from a "Sheep-eater." Barnard then told the Crow, in his own dialect, to stop firing, but he paid no attention to the command. Again he raised bis rifle, but a ln.riat skilfully thrown by Pierre held him f a6t. The scene now presented was one which those who witnessed will not for get to their dying day. The mid-channel in which they were now swiftly gliding down seemed to bo clear of ob structions, while on either side jagged rocks peered out from the foaming water. When about fifty yards below where we were standing, an old Indian arose and stood erect in the centre of a circle of braves. He 6poke a few words, turned his face towards the sun. and seemingly bade it farewell; then, wrapping his robe around him, he Bat down. The squaws immediately flung their pieces of bark into the river, threw themselves on the submerged raft, and com menced pulling out their long tresses, in the meanwhile screaming aud howling .more like demons than human beings. Indians seated in the circle shook hands, and then commenced wailing their always mourn ful death-6ong. Nearer, nearer they approached the fearful abyss; still not a movement was per ceptible on the part of the braves. They sat as immovable as statues, and did not quake with fear at the near annroach of the Kinir of Terrors. As they shot swiftly down the stream, our party instinctively raised our bats while looking at them, and I doubt if there was one, except the Crow, who did not show signs of visible emo tion. How singular, was it not ? Before us were ur enemies, who but a short time ago we would have gladly killed in a fight, but now whoso near approach to death touches our very hearts with minded feelings of tenderness, sorrow. and pity. A few moments, and wonderful to state, the raft, without losing a single oiece. goes intact, with its freight of life, over the awiul brink ana into tne moutn oi death. We turn from the spot with Indescribable feelings. As we take our last look at the treacherous stream, where eighteen mortals passed from life to death, we discern hoverlug over the fatal precipice two large eagles, whose screams resound atove tne uolse ot tue waters. The rour of the cataract and the eagles' scream w hat a lit requiem for these departed red chil dren! MJK1ED IN KUIXS. live Persona Burled br a FrIIIok Wall In t barlritton Oueot them Killed and tbe Other Severely Injured. The Charleston Courier of Jane 1 elves the particulars of a shocking disaster in that city wLleh iiappeuea on iue aneruoon 01 me pre vious dav. For several weeks workmen had been engaged in clearing out the debris ot a building which had been destroyed by fire last November, and preparing for its reconstruction. The north wall was to all appearances sound and substantial, and the contractors intended to allow it to remain. It stood two stories high. Everything being prepared, the workmen were engaged yesterday afternoon in erecting a ecaffuld around it preparatory to putting in new joists. At 4 o'clock thcscairold was erected and four or five men working on it, when the terrible calamity oc curred. Without any premonitory symptoms the wall tottered and fell, carrying tho doomed men along with it; and the reverberating crash nnd clouds of dust that arose spread a panic through tho street. Persons in the neighbor hood at once went to tho assistaneo of the vic tims of the disaster. In the centre of the lot they discovered the body of a colored laborer and quickly removed the bricks from around him. He was still breathing when they dis covered him, and upon freeing his head ami fouring water on it he appeared to revive a little, t was found impossible to remove him, how ever, inasmuch as a heavy beam lay with crash ing force ncro-s his back. A saw was at length procured, the beam sawed in two, and the dying man released from his awful position. A son of the superintending bricklayer was lounu almost In a dying condi tion, covered up with bricks, nnd so badlv In jured that ho was not expected to recover. Another colored laborer was also so badly In jured that death was expected. When the wife ot tne laborer who was killed reached the scene the knowledge of her husband's death was not yet made certain. The breath hud already left his body, however, when the unfortunate woman tilled the air with her shrieks. She was takeu away by some of her friouds, to all appearances a raving maniac. CUBA. Ccnernl Dnnks' Forthcoming Report-What he Nnj on the Duty of the I'nlted statew. It seems to be understood that the long-pro mised report of General Banks on Cuba will not be submitted to the House of Representatives until next Monday week. But if by that time the report be not made, then both Yoorhees and Logan (.will make a regular onslaught and de mand that the House give consideration to the bubject thou and there. ihe report is very lengthy and elaborate, aud discusses the rise aud progress of the insurrec tion in detail, as well as tho relations of the island to Spain and to the United States. On the subject of the duty of the Government of this country, tho report says: What then, is trie duty of the United States? Clearly to recognize the actual condition of affairs, and to taKe such measures as are prescribed by the laws of nations for the protection of our rights until peacenik permanent government can bo establish?.!, it is no loiurer a "civil commotion," as it has been hither refrained by the United States, nor a mere "domestic question," as it Is represented by the Spanish Government. it is protracted uud atrocious civil war. A civil commotion Is directed against Individuals or ag-Unst civil magistrates. It may reach the standard or seduction or ins,Krec tion. In which a sovereign mav ne disobeyed ; but it Is still a crime to be suppressed and punished by State authority, without Intervention and without ail'ettliifr rights of foreign governments. A civil war, on tne contrary, is a contest or arms between a part ol the citixens on onu side and the sovereign or those who obey him on the other. In regard to winch tne action oi ioreign governments may be come absolutely necessary. "It Is suilleient," Vattel says, "that the malcontents have some reason to take up amis in order that the disturbance should be called civil war, and not rebel lion." (Vattel, liv. 3, ch. 13, 290-295.) The people fcf Cuba present the best reasons for the contest they nrge. It has every claim to the sympathy and support of the fr'ends of liberty, equality, and justice. It is a race struggling for In dependence an enslave! peop.o contending for liberty a nation lighting for national existence. The contest-lu which they are engaged has all iho attributes or imrimrous and moody civil war, tiggra vated by the disorders and crimes of anarchy, our first duty is to treat it as war, and in accordance with tiie laws of nations to declare and maintain in regard to tne parties engaged therein a strict and impartial neutrality. "A civil war," Vatiel says, "is when a party arises in a State whlqti no loDger obeys the sovereign, and is BJiilcien'ly strong to inase iie.uu Hgeiiist imu, or wnen, lu a re public, the nation is divided into two opposite fac tions, and both sides take up arms. civil war breaks the bonds of society aud of tho Govern ment. It gives rise In the nation to two indepen dent parties, who acknowledge no common judge. They are In the position of two nations who engage In disputes, and, not being able to reconcile thorn, have recourse to arms. The common laws or war are in civil wars to be observed on lKth sides. The same reasons which make them obligatory between foreign States render them more necessary In the unhappy circumstances where two exasperated parties are destroying their common country. When a nation becomes divided into two parties absolute and Independent and no longer acknowledge a superior, the State Is dissolved, aud the war between the two parties is tho same in every respect as a war between two nations. The obliga tions or observing the common law or war Is, there fore, absolutely indispensable to both parties and tho same which the law of nature obliges all nations to observe between State and State." (Vattel, Droit deB Gens, liv. S, ch. IS, 290-235). "When a part of a State takes up arms against the government, ir it is Bumclently strong to resist Its action and to constitute two parties of equally balanced forces, tie existence of civil war Is thenceforward determined." If the conspirators against the Government have not the means of assuming this position their movement does not pass beyond a rebellion. A true civil war breaks the bonds of society by dividing it, in fact, into two Independent societies. It is for this con sideration that we treat or it in International law, as since each party forms, as It were, a separate nation both should be regarded as subject to the laws of war. This subjection to the law or nations is the more necessary in civil wars, since these by nourish ing more hatreds aud resentments than foreign wars, require more the corrective of the law or na tions in order to moderate;their ravages." (RiqueU me, Elements de Derecho Publico, cap. 14, torn. 1. p. 172.) "When a taction Is formed in a State, which takes up arms against the sovereign, in order to wrest from him the supreme power, or impose condi tions on him, or when a republic is divided Into two parties which mutually treat each other as enemies, this war 1b called civil war. Wars frequently com mence by popular tumults, which in nowise concern foreign nations ; but when one faction or party ob tains dominion over au extensive territory, gives laws to It. establishes a government In It, adminis ters Justice, and. In a word, exercises acts of sove reignty, it Is a person in the law ot nation ; and however so much one or the two parties gives to the other the title or rebel or of tyrant, the foreign powers which desire to maintain their neutrality ought to consider both as two Stales, independent as respects one another, and other States who recog nize no judge ef their dlit'eseuces." (Hello I'rincipios de Derecho International, cap. 10, p. 267.) M. l'hillimore, in his work on International law, which Is ol the highest authority, says: "There is no proposition or law upon which there exists a more universal agreement or all jurists than that the virtual aud cfeactorecogiutton or a new State (recog nizing the commercial Hag and sanctioning the ap pointment of consuls to Its ports) gives no jast cause of oftense to the old State, Inasmuch as It decide nothing concerning the asserted rights or the latter." lie makes a d btiuction between the "vir tual" recognition of a new State by admitting its commercial flag aud the appointment or consuls anil the formal recognitiou by sending ambassadors and entering into treaties with the new State by foreign powers, which should not be done uetil after "a practical cessation of hos tilities." though It does not demand a "Derfect ami undisturbed internal tranquillity" within its bur- ilurs. Tins wouia, in iaci, do au admis sion of the competency or the new Doners to negotiate and contract etigagemeutsl und-r the law or nations. (Phitliuore's lu'.eruati mi Law, vol. 2. pp. 17-22.) In case or revolution, Wneaton says: "The civil war does not necessarily exticguuiu the existence or the sovereign or parent Statu, but Unit, until the revolution Is consummated, while tho civil war, involving a contest ior me government, continues, other States may reujQu ludliiitreni spectators of the controversy, still coutiuul ig to treat the ancient Government as sovereign and the government de facto as a society, entitled to the rights of war against Its enemies as may espouse the cause of the party which they believe to have justice on Its side. Iu the lirst case the forelgu State fulfils an us onugauuns unuer me law or nations, and neither party nas any rignt to complain, pr vided It maintains au impartial neutrality." (Part 1. ch. 2, 6.) And again he says: "It has already been stated that while the contest for the sove- reigty continues and the civil war rages otUer na tions may remain passive, allowing to both contend ing parties all the rights which war gives to public enemies, or may acknowledge the Independence ot the new State, forming witu it tieatiea or amity and commerce, or may join In alliance with one party i against the other. In the first case neither party has any right to complain so long as otuer nations mam. tain an impnrtlnl neutrality and abide the event of the contest." (Whenton, Part 1, ch. 2, 10). Such, continues the report, are tho views of modern jurists. In the late civil war in America all the nations of Europe recognized and acted upon this doctrine. Belgium, France, tho Neth erlands, Portugal, Denmark, Prussia. Russia, Spain aud Great Britatn issued proclamation? declaring their neutrality, and settingforth regu lations for thegovcrnnientof their subjects. Our Government protested arrainst the manner in which some of these declarations were made, and otrainst the manner in which they were exe cuted, but it never denied the right of any gov ernment to declare its neutrality in any contest.

The Pittsburg Comwrvial regales Us readers with the following romance : Tho old aud time-worn adage that truth is stranger than fiction was strikingly exempli fied lu a case before a Pctin street alderman yesterday. The story, as nearly as it cau be as certained, is about as follows: Three years ago a German family residing in a small country town iu the interior of tho Fatherland decided to move to this country. They were poor, and Lad not sullicient means to transport tho en tire family, nnd it was decided that the eldest daughter, a charming young lady of sonic seventeen summers, should be left among their friends while the re t of the family tried to seek their fortunes in the new world. A young man who had for some time been paying his addresses to tho young lady iu question thought that tho golden opportunity for him to win Lcr hand had at length arrived, and so ho made an offer of marriage, consulting only tho old gentleman, and telling him that ho was de voted to the daughter, and would not only accompany the family to America, but would bear tho entire expenses of the young lady. The oiler was accepted, and the young lady promised in marriage. I'ho family, accompanied by the young gentleman, came ou to Pittsburg, and the young man here left them to seek his fortunes in the West, going to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with the intention of returning at au early day to claim ' his brido. Circumstances pre vented him from returning until one day last week, when ho camo back and claimed tho hand of his fair well, we will call her Christina. But, -alas ! for his expectations, the youug lady had given her affections aud plighted her troth to another in the shape of oue of tho workmen in a rolling mill in the Ninth ward. Enraged at this sudden gloom cast over his prospects, tho young man sought the aid of the law and deter mined that if he could not marry the young lady lie would at least be compensated for tho ex penses he had been to in bringing her to Ameri ca. So he commenced a civil suit for money expended in bringing the fair Christina to America. Among tho items in the bill wero the passage money, pay for four tickets to New York theatres, aud sundry bottles of wino and glasses of the "good old lager beer." Tne bill which he presented footed up $205, and he said to Christina, "settle this bill or marry me." She decided to let the case come before tho alder mau and have a hearing. At tho hearing an acute attorney who had been engaged for tho young lady questioned tho young man closely, and the bill of damages was reduced to $1:3. Still tho anxious young man Insisted that the bill 6hould be paid, or matrimony ensuo. At this point the Pittsburg lover, whom tho young lady really wished to marry, stepped up nna paid the trj, and, as a result, there will pro- Lauiy soon be a weudit'ir. II ELM HOLD'S DISHING DRAG.

The mouldings. which give the graceful outliues to the exquisite design, aie uuisnea in go. a, relieved witn beautiful edgings ot carmine. The wheels and running gear are colored in the same shade of tannine, striped in black and gold, aud bordered with delicate lines of drab. Tho trappings, lead bars, pole hoods, sockets, and fastenings lor the leaders display the finest workmanship. They are au lorged, and burnished, aud heavily plated with geld. Suspended to the outriders' seat is a neat and novel arrangement for carrying the extra lead bars. The side lamps tor this luxurious turnout are of an entirelv new pattern, or the finest workmanship, aud add wonderfully to the gorgeousuess or the etilpage. On the panels ot the carriage, In gold, shaded with a delicate tinge of crimson, is the niouo giam II. T. II., very artistically designed. A very important feature lu the construction of the drag is a brake, used by the driver with ease by the slightest pressure or the loot, so mat tne nign-apiritea team, in case of accident, can at once be checked. The works of this novel brake are neatly concealed from view. '1 he whip is considered the finest knotted thorn la An er.ca.

It Is said that the gallant and indefatigable Colo nel of the Ninth will add an additional pair of horses to his elegant equipage on taking the beach at Long Branch, when he will drive eight-ln-hand. LIFE IN TEXAS. The Robbery of nl'nlted Ktatea Revenue Cola lector by ilia Own bteoru The telegraph some days ago announced the robtery ol Collector Kearney in Texas by an escort of Federal troops which had been fur nished him for protection. Tho Corpus Christl Advertiser gives the following particulars of this daring and unusual case of highway rob bery: - Mr. Kearney was returning from a collecting tour on the Kio Grande. At Laredo he was furnished aa escort of six men, from Compauy C, Fourth Cavalry, under charge or a sergeant named 1'hillp Conovcr. The men were highly recommended by ihe commanding oillcer at Laredo for their eill ileucy aud trustworthine&s. The collector had In Ms ambulance Government funds amounting lu the aggregate to f U,-6o; also, a sack said to contain toi'OO iu gold, consigned to JNIr. P. Doddridge by Mr. Kaundtrs, of Kio Grande City, aud a sack containing 111 i f.rtlH ki. n "fcl 1 t.i.l.i..l.l .... Mi smi s. Mitchell and Doddrlge stopped at Rancho Keudado ou the mght of the bin, the guests of the proprietor of the rancho. The collector drove out about a mile and a half to obtaiu grass for his jaded summit, ivoiuing unusual occurred mat mgiii. .Guards were posted as usual. 'Ihe next uiorutcg, at about hair-past six o'clock. Sergeant t'onover. as soon as the men hud breakfast ed, ordered them to saddle up and take their horsei to the ) audio for water. lie also ordered Fogg's servant to take the (our ambulance horses aloug too, and suld the men would assist him. lie detained a private named Jackson. Mo sooner were the men gone than the two ruf fians surprised the collector and Fogg. The col lector was sitting on the ambulance, when Jackson seized his pistol lying behind him, and, presenting a cstblne at his head, ordered him to get out of tho ambulance, and exclaimed, "if you resist I'll kill you." Fogg was ordered nt the same moment, by the sergeant, to the end of the ambulance tongnc, with a similar assurance. Sergeant Conover then pro ceeded to rip open the money-bag and secure the inonev. He had provided himself with a stout sack, which he filled with gold. Most of the sliver, some $3;Ts, being too bulky, was left behind. The rob tiers cursed and threatened roundly while they were securing their booty. Conovtr mounted his horse, rode up, Informed Jackson he would relieve him, pointed his own car blue at the collector's head, and allowed Jackson to reach his own horse ami mount, lloth then backed itielr horses a sho.t distance, then wheeled and tied. The two robbers had very tine horses, the best in the party. TilE TIEUASS. Slnrplhp fttnMNnrre Thrlr Anxiety for Pence further funicular ol their rnnltiment. A letter from Fort Shaw, dated May 13, Bays: The ecruracy of the following particulars respect ing me i'legan massacre and its etiects is vouched for by a Jesuit priest. Father Devereaux, who comes from the Dlackfeet Indians, among whom he has been living for nine years. They have sent him hither to ascertain the intentions of our Govern ment towards them. They are afraid of new expe ditions against them, and are very anxious for peace. Father Devereaux brings a letter pray ing ior ir, ana signed dv an tne band chiefs of tho l'iegaus and liloods. Ho takes deep interest in the rlackfeet nation to which these tribes belong caned ny tnemseives people of the Plains. He has reduced their language to wilting, and had the Itlble and other books printed in it. Iieiug thus Identified with them, as their friend, his testimony relating to tho blow struck the i'legans last winter is woi thy of consideration. All who escaped at that time went directly to tho principal Hlackfeet camp on Belly river, north of our line, waere tne priest was. tie took pains to ascertain exactly who of them were killed. Ho knows them all by name. Yon will see that his repcrt differs somewhat rrom that of tho Indian Agent. The latter says that of the 173 we killed, only 33 except mere children were males, snd most of them were either too old or too young for warriors. Father Devereaux says that mere were m me camp one nunarea and tturty-two watriors, of whom ninety-six were killed and thtrtv- slx escaped. The agent states that the camp had been stricken witn smallpox, and that the deaths wtre then live or six daily. Father Devereaux says tbat no death from smallpox had occurred in the camp, and that it did not appear among the refu gees until four days after they reached Belly river. it is ratner Devereaux s opinion mat tne effect of this blow upon the Piegans Is salutary, and that it prevented serious trouble this spring. He says the young uien of the Piegans Intended plundering and killing. Older chiefs had tried In vain to control them. 1 hose chiefs lost authority and fell into con tempt. 1 he success of our arms has changed all that. He Bays, moreover, that the men killed were those who had caused the trouble. GENERALITIES. Denth of Nathaniel Willis. This venerable gentleman, tho father of tho late N. P.

JlrUhnm Young's Wealth. The Utah Reporter denies the exafferated stories of Brigham Young's wealth that hare been circulated in the papers. It thinks the re port that his wealth amounts to seventy mil lions "was started to obtain credit for goods purchased for 'Zlon's Co-operative Store,' and that the bottom will fall out of that enterprise before a great while. While Brigham has plenty of money, no doubt, it is not in a shapo which his creditors can make available ior his debts. When he built the road from Ogden to Salt Lake City he had not the means to equip it, nor even to pay tho 'poor slaves' who graded it for him, and could not spike down the rails which were purchased on security trom the Union Pacific."

There Is a lively demand for call loans, owing to the specu lative deninnd for stock Investments, but the business wants are very light, and reduced almost to a ciphtr.
