Advices from Crescent City, California, state that 
theKlammaih Indians attacked a party at Klammath 
Bluffs, killing one man and wounding another. The 
remainder of the whites are besieged in a block 
house. The same tribe has been stealing cattle for 
months past and preparing for this raid. The mili¬ 
tary authorities were urged to station troops in that 
vicinity, but failed to do so. Unless active measures 
are immediately taken to put down the Indians, a 
bloody war is anticipated. 
Arizona advices to June 27, 6tate that the Indians 
set lire to the woods near Prescott, and great dam¬ 
age is done to cabins, fences, Ac. Signs of Indian 
hostilities arc plentiful. The Indians have kindled 
Bignal fires on nearly every mountain top. Camp 
McPherson is filled with Indians. 
The engineers on the Missouri Pacific Railroad re¬ 
cently strnek, and indulged in riotous demonstra¬

A German named Matthew Andresner shot his 
wife and attempted to kill his mother-in-law, at

hall days. 
During a late storm a building in Chicago was 
struck by lightning, and two persons in it instantly 
killed, while another is thought to be fatally injured. 
Omaba Beeras to be under a cloud. Disastrous 
failures have recently occurred there, and more are 
threatened. A correspondent writes: “ Our streets 
look as if the place was being deserted. Omaha can 
never get up the same excitement she did this spring. 
In my opinion, she is dead for years to come, and if 
the truth was told by all they would coincide with 
me. Two months ago there was not a store to be 
rented in the place. To-day there are sixty-one 
etores to rent.” 
From Washington. 
The treaty with China, which has been under 
consideration 6ince the arrival of Minister Burlin¬ 
game, has at last been completed and laid before 
the Senate. It is esentially commercial in its char¬ 
acter, but at the same time contains provisions cal¬ 
culated to bring about and secure lasting harmony 
and friendship between the tavo countries. It is said 
that the Chinese are more anxious to cultivate inter¬ 
national relations with the United States than with 
any other nation, and that the present treaty is 
much more liberal than will probably be made with 
any of the other countries to which the Embassy is 
accredited. The Chinese Ministers are anxious that 
it should be sent back to their Emperor as soon as 
possible, as a mark of the success of their mission. 
The ports of that Empire are to be thrown open 
free to commercial intercourse, and no unnecessary 
or vexatious restrictions will be placed on trade in 
the future, so far as China is concerned. 
Delegations from Mississippi and Georgia were 
before the Reconstruction Committee last week, 
urging the adoption of legislation that may enable 
them to have fair elections in those States, and 
put an end to the intimidation and persecution 
of the colored people, The Committee intimated 
that it was too late in the session to introduce any 
new measure. 
A delegation from Virginia also called on the Com¬ 
mittee, requesting that such action may be taken as 
will enable them to vote at the next Presidential 
election. They are opposed to any new registration, 
and prefer that the election be heldunder the old one, 
Mr. Everts’ nomination as Attorney-General has 
finally been confirmed by a vote of 29 for, to 5 
against. The closing debate upon it lasted over 
two hours, in which Mr. Evarts was sustained by 
Messrs. Trumbull, Conkling, Ferry, Fessenden, Fre- 
liughuysen, and many other Senators. 
A Senate bill for the reduction of the army has 
been referred to the Senate Military Committee. It 
consolidates the present force into 80 regiments of 
infantry, 8 of cavalry and 4 of artillery, with an 
aggregate of 26,000 men. The Secretary ef War is 
to appoint a board of officers to prepare a plan for 
the consolidation and to designate those officers to 
be retained on duty with their commands, these to 
be wholly discharged, and those who onght to be re- 
! tained in the service to report to Congress at its 
next session. All vacancies meanwhile will remain 
unfilled. 
Among the recent nominations to the Senate by

M. Stafford and Hiram Knowles, to be Associate Jus¬ 
tices of the Supreme Court of Montana Territory. 
The War Department has ordered the immediate 
removal of the bodies of 200 Confederate officers 
who died and were buried on Johnson’s Island while 
prisoners of war, to the Catholic Cemetery. The 
removal will be done under direction of a Govern¬ 
ment agent. 
A Proclamation has been issued by the President 
announcing that the fourteenth amendment to the 
Constitution has been ratified by South Carolina. 
The President has transmitted an extra message 
to the House suggesting certain defects iD the Con¬ 
stitution which appear to require correction. The 
first is the clause for the election of President and 
Vice President through the intervention of electors 
of the several States instead of directly by the peo¬ 
ple. The dangers Of a defeat of the popular choice 
would be greatly increased, he argues, if the. House 
of Representatives should undertake arbitrarily to 
reject the votes of a State on the ground that it had 
not complied with some condition. He therefore 
reviews and urges the considerations made by 
President Jackson on that subject, and suggests a 
form of amendment to the Constitution. He also 
suggests a change in the provision for filling a va¬ 
cancy in the Presidency, taking the ground that 
an officer of the Executive Department should 
be designated rather than an officer of the Legisla¬ 
tive or the Judicial Departments; and recommends 
a change in the mode of the election of United 
States Senators, that they should be elected by tbe 
people Instead of by the Legislatures of the several 
states; also, that tbe term of Judges of the United 
States should be limited to a number of years. 
Minister Burlingame gave a banquet to the mem¬ 
bers of tbe Press in Washington ou Saturday even¬

Rescued INDIAN Captives. —It will be remember¬ 
ed that several months ago Ihe Kiowas, at that time 
a hostile tribe of Indians in Texas, took captive a 
whole family in Cook county, consisting of six 
persons, namely, father, mother, uncle, and three 
children. The father, mother and uncle were sub¬ 
sequently massacred. One baby was frozen to 
death, and another killed on account of the trouble 
it made. There remained two little girls, sged four 
and six years, about which there ha6 been the 
greatest anxiety throughout, the country. Col. 
Leavenworth, government agent for the Kiowas, 
recently retook the two children, and he is now in 
Washington with them. They are alone in the 
world, having no longer kith or kindred, and Cob 
Leavenworth nrges upon Congress the justice of 
setting aside $2,000 out of the Kiowas’ annuity in 
order to provide for the orphans and educate them. 
The Indian Committee in both Houses are said to be 
in favor of this course. 
The son of the late King Theodore of AbyssiDia 
has arrived in England, and has gone to Osborne 
House on a visit to the Queen. 
An Austrian naval expedition will sail from Trieste 
about the middle of August to effect treaties of com¬ 
merce and navigation with China, Japan, Slam and 
other Oriental countries, and afterwards to visit for 
the same purpose Peru, Chili and the Argentine 
Confederation. The expedition will also establish 
consular agencies, obtain facte regarding the exports 
and imports of each country, and ascertain what 
prospects open there for Austrian products. 
In England an earnest movement is now making 
to return Mr. Gladstone to Parliament from Green¬ 
wich. This is one of tbe largest and strongest libe¬ 
ral boroughs, and Mr. Gladstone can be elected 
without difficulty if he will stand. A great effort 
will be made to oust him from his present seat for 
Lancashire, and should it be successful, Mr. G. may 
then accept a Beat at the hands of Greenwich. 
In the case of t he United States against the Messrs. 
Annand, the builders of the iron-clads for the 
Confederate government, the arguments for the 
prosecution and defence have been concluded at 
Paris. The court will render its decision within a 
fortnight. 
A popular demonstration, consisting of a pro¬ 
cession carrying banners and wearing green ribbons, 
recently took place in London, in favor of tbe

protesting against the rejection by the House of 
Lords of the Irish Church Appointments Suspensory 
bill were adopted. 
The American Minister, Mr. Bancroft, has con¬ 
cluded hifl negotiation with the Grand Ducal Gov-

of Prussia, Bavaria and Wurtembnrg. 
ROCHESTER AND NEW YORK 
SATURDAY, JULY 25, If 
ommmhtl, Markets, I It. 
RURAL NEW-YORKER OFFICE, J 
Rochester, Jnly 21, is®. J 
Monet 1b easy and abundant at all (be great commercial 
centers. Rates of interest are Ttry low In New York. As 
yet there Is but little money going West to move the crops. 
Tbe banks are expecting large calls soon. The drain upon 
New York will not be large while the Western banks are as 
easy as at present. 
Tbe gold premium for some time, until tbe last six days, 
lias been very steady, with little variation from day to day. 
For some days it has been steadily going up. On Saturday 
tbe price was 143*4. A day or two previous it waB sold as 
blgli as 144. Yesterday sales were made at the New York 
Board at ll?*;. The exports of specie continue large. 
Government Securities have been excited and firm for 
some days. The advance abroad, with the firmness in gold, 
has created a rise in mOBt descriptions. 
Railroad and miscellaneous stocks arc generally dull. 
The New York Commercial Bulletin of Monday says“ In 
tho general markets the heat has materially checked busi¬ 
ness. Cotton has declined ije. Breadstuffs have declined. 
Provisions without any animation. Groceries all dull ex¬ 
cept Sugars on Friday, and the Dry Goods market only 
showing a small trade either with jobbers or commission 
merchants. 
Sterling Exchange continues firm and high. 
The banks learned last week, with considerable satisfac¬ 
tion, tlmt their taxes are not to be raised. The Senate 
proved to be strong in their opposition, to the scheme to 
put up the rates. The bill as first reported just doubled the 
bank taxes, 
Wheat and Flovk.—T ransactions In the general markets 
are light, and there is considerable nncenolnty in regard to 
fntnre prices. The Detroit Post says:—*' Wheat is held by 
most farmers of Michigan at $!.00, but considerable sales 
for future delivery have been made at $1,75. Contrary to 
the usual run of things wheat opened well last year, but ran 
up still higher afterwards In consequence of good foreign 
demand, and lightness of our own crop. This year we shall 
have abundance, the European crops are three weeks earlier 
than usual, and promise abundantly, so that prices maybe 
expected to open better than can be sustained longer than 
September, when spring wheat will appear In competition. 
$3.25 was Offered for eight car-loads of No. l white." 
There is little change in Flour. The supply is low at the 
East. 
Wool.— Farmers are selling more freely than any time be¬ 
fore since the season opened. Buyers are paying in this 
vicinity 34@^o, We bear of no transactions higher than the 
outside figure, though doubtless extra aud large lots would 
command sonietlilug better. 
bales in Boston last week reached (<00,000 lbs,, at a range of 
4 jW(V/,51o. tor fleece, aud 20*80c. for the various grades of 
pulled. The Boston Bulletin of Saturday says, In reference 
to the lowprlee of wool in the Eastern market;—“ Some of 
our commission merchants are disposed to take a linn stand 
against the Indiscriminate slaughter of wool, with a view to 
protect their Western shippers from serious loss. They are 
looking for an improvement in wool prices as soon as manu¬ 
factured products begin to move off Into distributing chan¬ 
nels, and wool buyer? are forced In to supply their consult),»• 
live wants. Hence, they are not disposed to meet the pres¬ 
ent views of manufacturers, and are not making any sales of 
consequence; while others seem to be a little punic stricken, 
and ready to accept any offer made to them.” 
Fall WoolenB are selling more freely. 
Pork is firm, and has advanced in the New York market. 
Stocks arc much minced. 
Boots asp Shoes arc firm, with an increasing demand.

The Heated Term. — The late heated term was 
longer and hotter than any other within the memory 
of the present generation. From nearly all parts 
ol the Union the reports were the same: it was 
scorching. Cases of sunstroke were alarmingly fre¬ 
quent. Fifty persons died in New York on Thurs¬ 
day of last week, from the effects of the heat. In 
Cincinnati, tho day previous, twenty were sunstruck, 
and thirteen died. Eight head of finecattle dropped 
dead in the Covington stock yards, the same day, and 
several valuable horses al6o perished in Covington 
and Cincinnati. At Montreal the highest tempera¬ 
ture at the Observatory daring the hot spell was 
ninety-eight and seven-tenths degeees. At Minne¬ 
apolis. the mercury ranged from 99‘ to 105' in the 
shade, and at Montgomery, Ala., it run up to 104' 
A fair test in Rochester, on Wednesday, indicated 
103" in the shade. 
From the South. 
Mb. Wabmoutb, the Governor elect of Louis¬ 
iana, was inaugurated on the 13th inst., in the hall 
of the House. The oath of office was administered 
by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Gov. 
Warcaontb’s inaugural address was very brief, and 
not very explicit as to the future course of his ad¬ 
ministration. He says that,, he refrains at this time 
from entering into any discussion of measures 
deemed of importance. He urges, however, imme¬ 
diate measures for the repression of lawlessness and 
disorder now existing in that district. He says: 
“ We want pea«e and order, without which we can 
have no prosperity.” 
A party of twelve or fourteen men went to the 
house of James S. Francis, Register in Overton Co., 
Tenn., recently, and after capturing him, took him 
a mile and a half from his home and shot him about 
twenty times. It is not known who they were, 
where they came from, or why they acted thus. 
On Tuesday of last week the General Assembly of 
North Carolina elected John Poole, of Pasqnetank, 
U. S. Senator for the long term until 1873, and Gen¬ 
eral J. C. Abbott, formerly of New Hampshire, and 
now of New Haaover, for the short term, which ex¬ 
pires March 4th, 1871. The contest in the caucus 
between Abbott and Dockery, made the matter lor 
some time doubtful. Both Senators are from the 
East. 
The jail in Irwinton, Ga., was set on fire and 
burned a few nights since, and a negro named 
Joshua Williams, who was committed on the charge 
of murdering two brothers, Daniel and James Luke, 
perished in the llames. 
A storm of hail occurred in Wyoming Co., Ya., 
lately, so severe that the hail remained in the roads 
up to the horses’ bodies three days afterwards. An 
immense waterspout fell near the Court House, and 
a woman who lived in the track of the flood and 
saw it approaching, attempted to save her children, 
when she was struck by a falling tree and crushed 
to death. The house was carried down with the 
current, and the bodies of tbe woman and child 
were afterwards found one mile below. The woods 
in the track of the storm presented the appearance 
of mid-winter. 
The Alabama Legislature, which met on the 13th 
inst., contains about thirty colored members. The 
Senate doorkeeper is a colored man, and the door¬ 
keeper, sergennt-at-arms and chaplain of the nouse 
are also colored. On Tuesday Governor Smith was 
inaugurated, in the presence of the two Houses. 
He sent in a message, which is in the main more 
conservative than wae expected. He recommends 
in strong language the removal of all disabilities 
from the people of Alabama, and bitterly opposes 
any disfranchisement except for crime. 
Fred A. Sawyer, Collector of Internal Revenue at 
Charleston, has been elected United States Senator 
from South Carolina, for the long term. 
All the Freedmen’s Bureau agencies in Kentucky, 
except the general agencies in Louisville, Lexington 
and Paducah, have been discontinued. The Educa¬ 
tional Department will be continued until the State 
provides for the education of the colored people. 
The Committee on Investigation in the Georgia 
Senate have "eported that none of the members of 
that body are ineligible. 
Brazilian News.— Latest advices from Rio Ja¬ 
neiro are to June 27th. Brazil was still sending 
troops to Paraguay. The total number since tbe 
commencement of bostilltlce was 84,941. The force 
at Ilumaita was 43,000. 8ome sporadic cases of 
cholera had broken out at Nitheroy. Measures were 
taken to prevent the spread. A British ship had ar¬ 
rived from England with twelve iron steam launches, 
ordered by tbe Government for Amazon. The coffee 
crop was large, but the moBt part was damaged by 
rains. A diplomatic conflict had occurred between 
Caxias and Wasbburne, American Minister, because 
the former refused to allow the gunboat Wasp to 
pass np. The dispute was transferred to Rio for 
adjustment. 
From the Sandwich Islands. — Honolulu ad¬ 
vices to" June 25th, say the King prorogued the 
Hawaiian Legislature on the 2*1 th of June, after a 
session of 53 days. The general appropriation, bill 
grants $1,060,000 for carrying on the Government 
for two years ending March, 1870. The sum of $30,- 
000 is appropriated to encourage immigration, and 
380,000 to promote inter-isiandic steam communica¬ 
tion. The American Charge de Affairs had an inter¬ 
view with the King and presented Capt. Simpson of 
the United States steamer Mohongue. The Hono¬ 
lulu Gazette, official organ of the Government, 
speaks in complimentary terms of the officers and 
crew of the* Mohongue. 
A New Asteroid. — Prof. Peters, of the Hamil¬ 
ton College Observatory, announces that a new 
planet, the hundredth of the asteroids, was discov¬ 
ered at the Observatory on the nigbt of the 14th 
inst., its position being 21 hours, 9 minutes, 10 sec¬ 
onds iu right ascension, and 16 degrees, minutes 
Bouth declination, with a retrograde southern daily 
motion of about 36 seconds of time and 0 minutes 
in are respectively. It has the brightness of a star 
of the eleventh magnitude, and will increase still 
considerably m„brightness, being yet far from op¬ 
position.

Andrews, the Murderer.— The neighborhood 
of Kingston, Mass., where Deacon Andrews mur¬ 
dered and robbed Cornelius Holmes some weeks 
ago, has another sensation over what is alleged and 
very generally believed to be another murder com¬ 
mitted by tbe same. A skeleton has been found, 
supposed to be that of a man who disappeared from 
the neighborhood several yearn ago, and suspicion 
points very strongly to Andrews as the perpetrator 
of two crimes instead of one.

Latest Foreign Intelligence. 
His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, ac¬ 
companied by Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburg, 
visited tbe United States licet, anchored at Cowes, 
under the command of Admiral Farragut, on the 
14th inst., and were received with the honors due 
their station and rank. On the ensuing day Admi¬ 
ral Farragut left his flag-ship, and boarded the Brit¬ 
ish frigate Galatea, and after a round of inspection 
of the vessel, lunched with the Duke of Edinburg,

cers aud men, the American Admiral proceeded, by 
request, to Osborne House, and paid a visit to Her 
Majesty Queen Victoria. 
The Duke de Montpensier has arrived at Cintra,

their alleged sympathy with the Duke. 
Thh Paraguayan War.—O fficial dispatches from 
the scene of war on the Parana report that the Allied

enemy were compelled to retreat to their entrench¬ 
ments with considerable loss in killed and wounded.
