the whites near La Paz, and Las ordered the princi¬ 
pal actors arrested. The Arizona Legislature will

State Legislature to meet. It Is said that bands of

erally.”

A party of Sioux and Cheyenne Indians captured 
a freight train on the Union Pacific Railroad on the 
30th nit., near Alkali Station, by cutting the ties in 
the center and spreading the rails. When the cars 
came along they were piled up together and 
wrecked. One of the firemen was jammed in be¬ 
tween the locomotive and the tender, where he re¬ 
mained for three hours, suffering the most horrible 
torture, after beseeching the engineer to kill him, 
before death came to his relief. All the men on the 
train except the eugineer fled the moment the disas¬ 
ter occurred, to escape from the Indiaus. Great 
complaints are made along the line of the road at 
the inefficiency of the protection afforded by the 
Government troops. They are mostly infantry, aud 
are utterly unable to compete with the Indians, 
who, being well mounted, are enabled to commit 
their depredations and effect their escape before

The Cuban Revolution.— This uprising seems 
to be more formidable than at first declared. In 
the eastern districts of the island It carries every¬ 
thing pretty much its owd way. The rebels control 
Puerto Principe, although many of the inhabitants 
have united in an address to Lersnndl, regretting 
tbe revolution and proffering their services to quell 
it, and hold Santa Cruz and Bayamo, and expect 
other important places in the central and western 
department to soon join them. They are said to 
have formed a provisional government, and to num¬ 
ber 5,000 men, including some Americans and libe¬ 
rated slaves. They defeated the government troops, 
recently, in an engagement at Baire, and have plun¬ 
dered quite extensively in various localities. Ler- 
snndi has received dispatches announcing the at¬ 
tempt to organize filibustering expeditions at New 
York and New Orleans against Cuba, and has taken 
necessary precautions to receive the invaders. Span¬ 
ish war steamers are cruising about the coast.

South America state that a battle took place on the 
24th of September at Viletta, where Lopez was 
strongly entrenched with all his troops. The allied 
forces attacked his position, but were repulsed by 
means of ambuscades which had been laid in the 
woods. The loss of the Brazilians in killed and 
wounded was very heavy. After this defeat tbe al¬ 
lied army went into camp at Palmes, There they 
were constantly harrassed by the Paraguayan guer¬ 
rillas, who frequently cut off their supplies and in¬ 
terrupted their communications. The Brazilian 
iron-elads had bombarded Angostura, hut without 
effect. It was rnmored that a revolt had broket 
out in the Argentine Confederation against Presi¬ 
dent Sami ion to.

A First Class "Weekly for Youth.— Our atten¬ 
tion has recently been called to the Youth’s Com¬ 
panion, published in Boston—a delightful paper for 
yonngpeople—which we are surprised has heretofore 
escaped our notice, for it has reached an immense 
circulation, and is really one of the most vigorously 
conducted periodicals published. It was Etarted 
forty-two years ago, by Nathaniel Willis, father of 
N. P. Willis, and is probably the oldest paper of its Machine. Address „ , 
kind in the world. Thousands of young people take 
it to-day, whose parents were its readers in their 
youth. Some of the finest writers in the country 
contribute to its columns, and la the breadth, com¬ 
prehensiveness and variety of its reading, it is cer¬ 
tainly conducted with remarkable discrimination and 
ability.

ROCHESTER, NOVEMBER 17, 1868. > 
There is very little ctmDge In tbe last two weeks in finan¬ 
cial affairs in Western New York. The sail for money at 
the banks is somewhat larger yet than they can meet, 
though there is a falling off In tbe amount of paper pre¬ 
sented for discount. 
Thc Western money market is close, particularly at Cin¬ 
cinnati. Chicago banks, for tbe last ten days, have been 
shipping considerable currency to New York to pay bal¬ 
ances, Tbe. call all through the West for money to move 
the grain crope baa been large, and the pork trade is now 
coming actively, and promises to be quite large. Tula trade 
will require a good deal of money, which will circulate 
among tbe people, and not find Its way into bank again 
nntil about the beginning of the new year. 
The New York market has been active and excited the 
past week. On Thnrsday and Friday minors were enrreDt 
in the street that the combination of stock operators was at 
work again to lock up greenbacks, but on Saturday the 
appearances were that It had been abandoned, and money 
was much easier. Toward the close of last week railroad 
stocks were very much excited, particularly Erie and New 
York Central. Krle on Frldaysold as low as 33, and New 
York Central was rnn down to 114 Rumors which affected 
these shares being contradicted on Saturday, there was a 
decided advance—Erie going up to 41 and Central to 118. 
There is considerable call for hinds South to move the 
cotton crop, and cotton Is coming north quite freely. 
It 5 b unfortunate, at this season of the year, when large 
amounts of money are required In the legitimate business of 
the country, that such immense sums should be absorbed in 
stock speculations. Two months since trade was dull, and 
there was little call then for money to move cotton, wheat, 
corn and llonr, and money In thc eastern cities was abund¬ 
ant at 3®1 per cent. It being so cheap, and hanks having 
much unemployed capital. It was procured easily by stock 
speculator!', and prices of almost all kinds of securities 
rapidly advanced. When the pinch came, stocks fell more 
rapidly than they advanced, and swept away thc profits the 
gamblers supposed they had made. 
It Is hoped and generally believed that the worst pressure 
Is past, though an easy market under ilie circumstances can 
hardly he anticipated until alter the first of January. There 
Is money enough In the country to do the legitimate bttsi- ] 
ness, If not absorbed by stock gamblers and speculators. 
Tbe following from the Boston Commercial Bulletin of 
Saturday gives in brief the condition of the New England 
market:—*• There l 6 a slightly better feeling in grain and 
breadstuff's, with thc close of Inland navigation at hand, 
and a little Improvement In the trams-Atlantlc markets. 
Provisions are dull; beet , bacon and lard continue to shade. 
Agricultural produce is generally firm and In good demand; 
choice dairy products, eggs, beans, potatoes and garden 
vegetables are higher; fresh meats abundant and lower. 
Codfish and mackerel are in demand at very full prices. 
Groceries are quiet; sugar and molasses bardlyso firm as 
last noted. Linseed and lard oils are easier and tending 
down, Domestic Fplrlts and crude petroleum continue to 
shade. Cotton Is steady and quiet. Woo) is dull and weak, 
especially the extra grade. Manilla hemp is dull and nomi¬ 
nally lower. Hides are scarce and very firm. Leather Is In 
better demand and firmer. Metals are firm, except ingot 
copper; and pig tin, zinc and spelter are active at a further 
advance." 
The New York Commercial Advertiser of Saturday even- 
ing says " Flonr was dull and 5@10c. lower. Wheat dull 
and l@2c. lower. Carn dull and about 1c. lower. Oats dull
