Fort Hawley Surrounded by .lndtaus.
(From 'the Helena (Montana) Herald of Feb. 15.1
Serious fears are entertained that there has
been trouble on the Museleshell. No word has
been received from Hawley, the eastern end of
the route, for two months. Daring that time
three parties have left here for there, all of whom
should have been back before this. The first of
these left about the Ist of December. The second
left about the 20th of December, and con
sisted of four men, and the third left
about one month since, and consisted of
twelve men. We have already given in our col
umns reports of numerous robberies which have
been perpetrated by Indians on this route, and
have noted the threats made by the savages that
they would force the abandonment of the line,
and that they_ would scalp any who might in
future .attempt to travel it. It .feared Unit
these threats bawl been put into execution, or,
at least, that the men who have been scut
have _been set _afegt, _and that the-stock of
the fort may, also have been:stolen, thus leav
ing no animals upon which men could
be sent through. But even in this case it
is supposed that the express agent at Fort Haw
ley would attempt to send some one through on
foot. We obtain the above facts from Mr. 8. S.
Huntley, who manages the carrying of the malls
through the section of country referred to, and
under whose direction the above-mentioned
parties have been sent out. Another
_party of six
men left* Diamond City for Sort Hawley on
Thursday, and we hope an early report from
them may dissipate all those fears. which oar
people cannot refrain at present fro'm Indulging
in.

COrrt nondence of the Philadelphia ravening Bulletin.]
New Oiti.easa, March 5; lBeB.—Strange es it
iii9y seem, even here in this sunny clime, March
came in very like a lion. The ,wind rose at an
early hour on Sunday morning, and soon
gathered to a steady gale from the South, finally
veering to the North—Monday opening clear and
cold. The March winds became tame after
awhile, however, and at 3 o'clock P. M., the same
Any, the thermometer marked as high as sixty
eight degrees. The first straw hats of the season
made their appearance a few days ago. One
rash individual also actually appeared in a white
duck suit recently, but an outraged public
opinion caused him speedily to change his gar
ments.
The Reconstruction Committee met on Tues
day for the 77th time. On Monday tho Consti
tution was adopted as a whole. Six members
voted against it. The election is fixed for the
17theind 18th of April, at which time, also, State,
Judicial, Parish and Municipal officers( and mem
bers of the General Assembly and of Congress
are to be chosen. The Convention meets again
to-day.
The Fire Department's 31st anniversary parade
took place gesterday. The (lay was beautiful
and the crowds of spectators immense.. l Beside
all the engine and hose companies of New Or
leans. there were many firemen from sister cities.
There were eightytompardes in all. There were
banners and flowers in profusion, and fleet's of
music, arid all the other usual accessories of a
great parade. There were presentations of flags,
and flowers, and sets of silver, etc., and, of course,
there were -Leeches. Several companies stopped
before the St. Charles hotel and sere
naded Jefferson Davis. The latter ap
peared on the balcony and bowed his
acknowledgments. The many people who had
gathered in the vicinity to eetel: a elimpse of the
ex-ebief, rushed up the stairs. and for fully half
an hour he was engaged in shah-leg hands wilt
everybody. The Department paid marked re
spect to Major-General Haneoek As the corn
parks marched past his euterfers on Camp
street, the hands played various airs, and every
company uncovered to him. After the procession
was dismissed Volunteer Fire Company
No. I. smelled to his quarters and serenaded
him. General Hancock addressed the com
pany substantially as follows : "I thank you for
this compliment. It affords me no ordinary
pleasure to see you and to know that in every,
step of your march to-day you have followed so
closely the music of the Union. I have often
seen such display's as yours to-day, but in all the
spectacles of the kind I beheld I have never seen
a finer body of men, or a pageant more imposing
than your procession. I again thank you for the
compliment you have paid me personally, and
the noble expressions of your loyalty this occa
sion has afforded." It is generally conceded that
the fourth of Mareh was never before celebrated_
hp onr &fame with so much harmony and I
• gaiety.
There . has recently been much complaint
against the New Orleans Commercial Water
lirorks Company, and a pressure has been
brouht to bear on the City Government for the
purchase of the works. The Street Commissioner
recently sent a letter to the Company, asserielg
that they did not comply with the requisitions
of their charter, which required two water
. niuga to . each. .eauare. .To which -Bree.ton -
Bragg, Superintendent, replied : "Your commu
nication of the 2.5 th instant, calling attention to
the requirements of article thirty-eight of the
charter of tide company,relating to the hydrants,
was referred to the President, who makes the
following indorsement: 'The city gives us too
much trouble. We have a contract and our duty
is to conform ourselves to its tenor. When the
city will have possession of this company they
will have time enough to conform themselves to
the thirty-eighth section of our charter."'
The commencement exerelsee of the New
Orleans School of Medicine. took place on Tues
day. Professor Briekel conferred degrees on
several students. Professor Bruns delivered an
address in behalf of the Faculty and the institu
tion.
Much has recently been said on the condition
of the finances of New Orleans. That we are
not as prosperous as we have been and as we
Lope to be is very true, but that our linancee are
very far from being as bad as has been so often
affirmed Is also true. A prominent' member of
the Assistant Board of Aldermen recently de
clared that on a thorough examination of the
• financial conditions of this city, he found it to
be the "healthiest" of any city of the South.
The recent J('" , days on the Fair grounds have
been brilliant and enjoyable. The menagerie,
the trapeze, the bard, banners and flowers, all
were there, and the horse-race of course "capped
the climax." Everybody who is anybody con
trives to attend these festivities.
The cotton market is still in a comparativele
steady and satisfactory condition. The rates of
the staple recently receded, but notwithstandirt;
this they are now eonelderably in advance of the
ruling figures at the close ofJanuary. And then,
while the upward movement about the middle of
l_eteetareth-weetieleitire„ned violent, the...reaction
was gradual and of far lets extent.. - The market
yesterday was very much excited, the sales
amounting to 7,500 bales, on an advance. The
stock on hand and on shipboard last evening
amounted to 100,871; bales. Business on the
landings has been quite brisk of late.
FROM JAMAICA
The Case of the Hannah Grant, Ace,
KiNch•rox, JamulCa. Feb. 15.-LThe story of the
Hannah Grant's captain, and the imprisonment
of a portion of her crew by Spano-Indians, on
the coast of Venezuela, still occupies much pub
lic attention. The United States consulate has
presented quite an active appearance since the
arrival of the Hannah Grant, and it is not diffi
cult to see that Mr. Consul Gregg has been pre
paring for some measure of retribution.
, Captain Robins,of the Hannah Grant, was car
ried off in the mail steamer Atralo, on the 10th
instant, to. St. Thomas, and was the bearer of im
portant despatches to tile Comandbr of the
United States Navy there, directin that a steamer
of war should be sent Immediately to the release
of the Hannah Grant's crew, and, if practicable,
punish the perpetrators of this outrage. Another
despatch was sent to the Secretary of State at
Washington, and Mr. Consul Gregg proceeded to
.Aspinwall in the steamer Solent, to move the
naval authorities there. It is very clear, there
fere. that the authorities at Coro have more to
answer for than they at present dream of.
There are those who believe the story of Capt.
Robins admits of satisfactory explanation, and
they proceed to show that Paragnana forms a
part of the State of Coro, and belongs to the Re
public of Venezuela; but as no part of that
coast between Adicona and Cape San Roman is
inhabited, or peed as a port of entry for vessels
looking for cargo or discharging, a "coast
guard is kept upon the - watch so as to pre
vent 'illicit Narli' the' Indian 'coast,'
and to deurinti the' production of a license
from the authorities at La Vela do Coro. It is
.reasonable, tberefore—as it is known that these
"coast guards" are an ignorant and illiterate
claes of men, ever prone to' abuse their power
and prove themselves unfit for any position of
authority, that they have rudely demanded in low_
and corrupt ,Spanish some explanations regard
ing the Hannah Grant's visit, and the captain not
understanding, has been unable to explain him
self and the object of his visit.
This is only a supposition, however; but "Un-'
cle Sam" demands an immediate explanation,
and it is hoped that the government of Vene
zuela will not only graciously afford it, but apol
ogize and remunerate the men who were, lin.'
properly detained against their will.
A very frightful accident occurred on the Ja

maim Railway, between the Angels and Spanish
Town, on Morday, the loth instant, resulting in
the death of the fireman. The engine had run off
the line, and the unfortunate man lay under one
of the railway cars. Ills face was crushed; his
brains bespattered the wheels; the body was
severed in two, and the intestines protruded;
the left leg was cut off by the drag, and one hand
horribly mutilated. The body v:ss found below
the fifth carr.age, which showed that the train

the spot where the accident arose.
A court marti , 1 on board Her Majesty's ship
Aboukir, commenced its sittings on Monday, the
e7lll nit., to try Lieutenant Washington, of Her
Majesty's ship Favorite, on a charge. of man
slaughter; exhibited against' him by the Lords
Commissioners of the Admiralty. The charge
was found in consequence of the' death of a sea
man on board that ship, who had been gagged
with a rope for riotous Insubordinate conduct.
The evidence proved that the gagging was not
the cause of death, but that death re
sulted from disease of the heart. The pris
oner who gave the order to gag the man was
therefore honorable acquitted. The Court then
proceeded to try William Dawtry,Mastar-at-Arms
of IL M. 8. Favorite (who applied and removed
the gag) on a similar charge. The court, in this
case, also acquitted the prisoner. The Court
consisted of Commodore Sir Leopold McClintock;
Captain Hamilton, of 11. M. 8. Sphinx, Captain
Mcßae. of H. M. S. Favorite; Commander Smith

INTERESTING FROR.PRUSSIA.
Ilse New Treaty With the United
t cites .
[Correpondenro of the N. Y. World.)
BP:P.I.IN, Feb. 2.s.—The diplomatic corps at this
court, and publicists generally, have been thrown
into confusion by le:iruing that at high noon on
Saturday, the anniversary of WashingtoMs birth
day, a treaty was concluded and signed ;by Sir.
Bancroft, on the phrt of the United States, and
Herr Koenig. on the part of the North German
hood, by which' the latter concedes all
the rights which the United States Go
vernment claims for
,the adopted citizens.
Immediately after - Its Completion the copy
designed for the State Department was despatched
to Southampton. to be sent thence to Mr.Sewarel,
who will probably furnish the first copy for
publication. Mr. Bancroft declining, perhaps
very properly, to give it to the press before it
has been received by the Government. Having
been permitted to glance through the inchoative
draft, In German, now almost as little recoz
n'.•r.able. through its many notes, alterations
and additions, , as the original material of the
coat of the Shepherd cf Salisbury Plain,
I can, give some idea of its provisions. though
several ladies and gentlemen were discussing tit
bits of gossip at the time of the perusal. Ac
cording to article 1, the North German Build cove
nants to accord to Germans who have become
naturalized citizens of the United States, and
have resided in that country five years, the same
lights and privileges as to native horn-citizens-of
the republic. In the second clause of the same
article the Government of the United States reel
i.rocallv agrees to recognize persons who, though
wrruerly citizens of the United States, have
hecome naturalized citizens of the North Getman
Bond, and have resided in the territory of the lat
ter five years as citizens of the Brad. It is pro
aided, moreover, that whoever, having thus
alienated himsel from his own country and be
come a eitiztn cf the other country, returns to
-iris-nativecountry and- there acquires domicile
.t ball, by the acquisition of snch domicile, be con
sidered to have renounced his adopted allegiance
and to have forfeited his adopted citizenship.
Article 2 provides that no person shall be freed
by the acquisition of citizenship through natu
ralization from obligations incurred through
crime Cr misdemeanor committed while a citizen
of his native country.
article 3 extends the extradition treaty of
rtv. ten the United States and Prussia to the
North German band.
Article 4 declares that the acquisition of domi
cile which works loss of citizenship shall be pre
sumable from two years' residence out of the
adopted country. The mere declaration of in
tention to become a citizens is to be of no inter.
national effect.
Articles 5 and r; relate to the, ratification of the
treaty, and stipulate that this is to be effected
within six months, and that the treaty shall take
effect Immediately after the exchange of ratinga
tions and shall remain in force ten years.
The management of the negotiations hag been
most excellent. As long ago as September 21,
16•37, the main points and concessions now em
boditd in the treaty were settled in a conversation
between Mr. Bancroft, and Count von Bismarck.
It was still necessary to obtain the consent of the
twenty-one sovereignties, which, with Prrisroa,
compose the Confederacy, and to so express
the stipulations as not - to contradict their
laws and the constitutions of the objectors.
hamburg was particularly anxious that a declara
tion of Intention to become a citizen should
In of itself no effect. After having taken sound
ing's at the first formil. in terview with the Prus
'bin Councilor appointed to arrange the details,
Mr. Bancroft produced. at the second; a treaty
prepared and written in German by himself,
whichlets-sinee'b'etin - addlited - -witizont - nlaterl'a
Alteration. It is one or two points a little
vague, : Whether, according to
Article 2, a person leaving the Land
wchr or • reserve could be construed to
hr.-guilty ot the crime of de!,ertion ; but
t is far more than any one but the most san
duine expected Prussia would concede. Herr
ktunig said, as he put down his pen after sign
leg Iris name, "Well, you have beaten ne." "Oh'
no," laughingly replied the minister, "you have
only recognized the rights of man." "At any
rate," continued the Prussian Commissioner,
"you have got whatr your predecessors have al
ways been trying to get, but have failed to
attain."
People credulous of personal influence give
great credit to Mr. Bancroft for securing a recog
nition of the principle which the American Gov
trnment has so long maintained almost alone,
from a state not only extremely important in
inself, but from its position able to make a strong
precedent for the action and eonduet of
(Ahem He is indeed entitled to great praise
for • his share in the matter. The prime
factor is to be sought in the strong and fre
quently manifested desire of Count von Bismarck
and his ministry to be on good terms with the
I tilted States. The Court is sure that the more
domestic affairs in America becomes quieted, the
more certain becomes the interference of the
United States, prophesied by himiself,in European
politics. He is willing, therefore, to bid welt for
affiance. The bids he made thus far can be ac
cepted with complacency, consisting, as they
have, in pleasant attentions to private American
citizens, and the adoption of the republican right
to choose one's own country and fatherland.

Sad Suicide in Plilwaulice.
(From the Daily Winconain of March Dth.l
The busint-za community was startled to-dav
by the information that Lords Schaeffer, well
known as a banking man, had committed suicide
by shooting himself through the heart.
Mr. Schaeffer bad been connected with the
Milwaukee County Bank for six years, three
years of which time be was cashier. On Satur
day last he tendered his resignation, which was
accepted, intending to go into the country to
take the management of a bank there.
The deceas.ed had been engaged in unsuccessful,
wheat spectilations, and this morning abant 11.30
o'clock, went into the office of James Ryan on
the South Side, with whom ho had had business
transactions. He was very ranch excited when
be entered, and addressinChimself to Mr. Ryan,
said, "I have lost considerable money belongin
to my brother and'l know , you have told my wife
about it." Mr. Ryan declared he had not, but
Schaeffer, still very much excited, said he had
lost the money and should poison himself. His
appearance alarmed Mr. ityan,who started out for
help. but as he reached the door of the office he
heard the report of a pistol. Looking back Mr.
Ryan saw that Schaeffer had shot himself through
tics heal t.
Mr. Ryan immediately went to Schaeffer who
said, "It is all right now," and breathed his last.
Mr. Ryan called in help to the office, but the
suicide had fully completed his work, and
although his lips moved once or twice he did not
speak, his last words being "It is all right now."
The deceased was well known to the business
community as a man of strict integrity, and it
believed that the loss of his brother's , money in
wheat speculation had affected him so seriously
as to destroy his mind. It is known that he has
not used any money belonging to the bank with
which he was connected, for his accounts there
are ea ref rally correct.
Mr. Bchai fler vias 41 years of age and leaves i a
Rife and five children, to whom his sad end is a
bitter stroke. His old employers and his many
friends are :Locked at the fatal affair.
A letter from Midland City, Michigan, in the
East Saganaw Ent , rpri , P, tells a very curious
story: -
some six years ago a young husband and wife
took up their abode at 31nskegon. After seveaal
months, a young man, whose name is given as
Charley C—, came to town, and in process of
time, eloped with the young wife, the guilty pair
settling at Midland, where they have passed
for man and wife for the last five years, and
accumulated considerable property. In the
meantime, Mr. V. came to Midland, with
a dashing young grass.widow for a wife, with
whom, it seems,C. got acquainted. About Christ
mas C. sold all his property and left town,telling
his "wife," if such she ever was, that he was
going to a certain place in Illinois which offered
large Inducements. He returned several times,
not having got things to his liking, his last visit
being about two weeks ago. About this time
Mrs. V. desired to visit friends at Lansing, and
did so. being abundantly supplied with funds.
After she had been there several days, V. got
empiciotts and went there. only to find that C.
and. his Rife were married the day before and
gone to pats unknown. She, however, had
left for V.'s perusal a very affectionate epistle,
saying, among other things, that. she should
care well for the bey, train him up in the way
he should go, and herself endeavor to live a
hither life, recommending him to depart from
the few errors of his way and become a Chris
tian. This story, as most others, has its sequel,
or the beginning of one. Mrs. V. has a young
sister widow, who, it appears, operated deeply
in this plot, in order to get her sister out of the
way. and even intimated to him on the morning
of his return home that it would be the happiest
event of her life if he would permit her to return
with him to console him in his misfortune.

Underground Telegraphs.
The system of underground telegraph lines
insulated with an asphalte compound, noticed
so favorably in the Paris Exhibition, has
lately been tried with highly satisfactory re
sults by the Royal Engineers in the yard of
the Brompton Barracks, at Chatham, Eng
land. This system, the invention of Mr.
Donald Nicoll, consists in laying down a
series of rigid sections, or rods of asphalte
containing the wires, in trenches in the earth,
as lengths of iron gas pipe are laid. These
sections are in about twelve-feet lengths,
the conducting wires protruding at
the ends, and being alternately left
straight • and twisted into "cork
screws." In planting the lines, the straight
ends of one section are pushed into the "cork
screws" of the next, and so on. The blow of
a hammer upon the "corkscrews" ensures
perfect contact, and when the junction is
filled in with melted asphalte perfect insula
tion is also effected. In this way a dozen
joints may be insulated at once. A promi
nent feature of this system is that the insulat
ing material is poured in at a temperature
considerably above that of boiling water,
so that if any moisture settles upon the
ends of the sections -it is driven off in the
form of steam as soon
fin as_ the melted insula
tor rees it — Thff clistOrlayinel'S'VW-a
