Advices from Idaho state that a bigh official named Slocum had been arrested on the charge of peculation. Another official had recen' absconded. Another died adefaulter, and weil mother, Chas. C. Vaughn, treasurer of Bois county, has been arrested on a charge of em. bezzlement. The Sacramento Charter election resulted in the success of the Union ticket by 1,321 to 966 votes. It has been stated that the steamer Oriflam- me, which arrived hereon the 6th ultimo, from China, brought advices of an advance of from ten to fifteen cents per pound on tea. Upon careful inquiry it is ascertained that no public aavices Of this nature were recetved, and, if such were the fact, it was known only toa few rivate parties, and not to the general public. he files of papers brought by the Oriflamme do not mention any particular change in the tea market, and the major portion of the trade discredit the reported adyance. Amun by the name of Montgomery, lying about five miles trom Sweetwater, East Ten- messee, was murdered in cold blood on last Wednesday while on his way from his farm to Sweetwater, Parties who went ont found hie buggy in the road, and upon search bein mace the body of Montgomery was fonn about three hundred yards from the side of the road He hed been shot through six times in the head and body. Montgomery was a rebel, and it is said he was murdered for his money, his murderers having taken the contents of his purse, watch and overcoat, and all the yalu- ables he had about him, The Union Central Committee of Nebraska have called a State Convention, to meet in Platsmouth on the 12th of April, for the pur- pose of nominating candidates for State offi- cers, 10 be voted forat the State election, which eccurs on the 2d day of Jume.

The Ragen aspects of political sentiment in that Territory indicates a fayorable resuit to the Union party. About a year since a man named James Morphy, under sentence of death by military commission for murder and arson, escaped from the prison at Louisyille. It is supposed that since then he has been in Smith and the adjoining counties in Tennessee. Last Sunday he was rearrested in Canon county and brought to Nashville, The Fenians in Nashville are Making active preparations for the Canadiancampaign. The full quota of men solicited by General Sweeny are already sworn in, officered, and fully equipped. They drill every night. The Canadian schooner Trade Wind arrtyed at Oswego, New York, yesterday morning from Port Hope, with a cargo of wheat and pens, This arrival is the first of the season, Incidents of the Fenian Conspiracy. From the London T legraph, March Ist] here are two rathe: stories arising out of the Governmentaction in the suppression. You remember a man named Clarke, shot a few weeks ago in the street in this city. Two men, acquaintances of his, called for him, asked him to take a walk, anda third shot him. He died the next day. (it reminds one of Keats’ “two brothers and their murdered man” riding through Florence.) The true story of the tragedy is this:—Cltarke was a «B,* or captain, in the Fenian Society. He lived ina street where the Government discovered a Fenian armory, and shortly after he was no- ticed by his co-conspirators to have plenty of money. They suspected that he was Spending the Government reward for etraying the ar- mory, when, in fact, he had not been in communication with the Government at all, and was simply « flush of cash,” because he had received money from triends ip Amer- ica. After he was shot, he gaye the po- lice, when dying, a lomg and detailed ac- countof the men who walked out with him, and of the circumstances of the murder. The accoun’ was purely fictitious, and invented by his dying. and, alas, lying lips to screen the Brotherhood. Knowing he was shot by Feni- ans who unjustly suspected him, the poor fellow still “died game.” Another story is of 4 man named Gillis. He was seized with ether Fenians, and in bis first fright he offered to turn informer to save himself. He was brought on the table to testify, and then refused to say one word against his former associates. The police warned him of his fate, but he persisted be was thereupon tried and sentenced to five years’ penal servitude. Meanwhile bis wife and two younger children were lying ina fever hospital, and his two older boys employed in a factory had been turned out of employ- ment because the workmen threatened to strike unless the sons of “the informer” were ex- Sigwane All this acenmulation of misery Gil- is knew when he refused to betray the Fent- =n8, @nd yet the poor devil faced it all. HEAVY ARRIVALS OF CoTTON aT CHARLES- toN.—The decline in cotton surprises no one, for there appears to be a great deal of it stili in the country. A train of nine heavy wagons, loaded with the staple, rolling into town at one time, would justify such a conclusion. The factories need certainly fear no stoppage for ‘want of the raw material. The prospect for a large crop during the present year is encour- aging. Plantation work pi sses favorably, and from many neighborhoods highly flatter- ing reports are received. A Northern gentle- man, who has taken a plantation on the Santee, in the adjoining district of Clarendon, says the freedmen are working admirably in that sec- tion, and he entertains no fears of failure. He believes, however, that white labor would real- ize double the yield from the same area of land. It is very probable that European and North- ern farmers settling in this country would effect a very desirable revolution in its agricultural policy. They would plantcotton, it is true: inevitably and successfully plant cot- ton. But they would first assign so much land, manure, and labor tothe cultureof the cereals as would insure an abundance of provisions for all the occupants of the firm. Their cotion crop then would be clear gain—an annual net profit. This is the self-sustaining, home-en- riching system, by following which the farmer must be comfortable and independent. This is emphatically an agricultural country, and as such it ty 8 ars Almost a reproach to its plant- ers that Northern and Eastern hay and West- ern corn, at fabulous prices, are actually sup- porting the animals now ploughing the soil. Exhaustion cansed by the late war may explain and excuse this the present year: but the same state of things existed before the war, and may continue, although by common consent admit. ted to be a blunder.—Charleston Courier. Curar Brer.—The United States Govern- ment is in better Juck than the people of our Avantic cities in the matter of beef. The latter have to pay on the average twenty-five cents &@ pound for that article of food, but the Gov- erpment the other day made a contract for a yeur for the supply of the military department of Washington at eleyen cents and seyen- eights per pound, and at the same time secured & contract for mutton at eleven cents and a half per pound. We take it for granted that the contractors are confident thatjthey can fulfil their obligations and make money. If tharis s0,at what per centage may we estimate the profits on meats atthe present market prices to consumers? They ought to be enormous. if they are not, it is difficult to understand how a large contract can be taken at the rates nemed, We ask in vain what is the proper remedy for the present extortion! We are in the power of the speculators, and although we bave been favored with many suggestions, nothing practical has yet been discovered.— Plaladelphia inquirer.

Indian Council. YOUNG LADY CAPTIVE RESCTED FROM THE BAVAGES. It will be recollected that Major Wyncoop, afew months since, was entrusted with the important mission, by the Indian Bureau, of collecting the hostile bands of Cheyenne In- dians, and placing them upon the reservations assigned them by the treaties of October Inst, held at the mouth of the Little Arkansas river. The special dent of the Kansas State Journal, under date of “Camps Arrapahoe and Cheyenne Indians on Bluff Creek, south of the Arkansas river, March 2, 1566,” writes: “lam happy to inform you the expedition arnived bere on the 25th ult., bringing in tweive bands of dog soldiers, and that yesterday their chiefs and headmen signed a paper setting forth that they cheerfully and without restraint endorse the action of the said council, and agree to firmly and strictiy abide by and strict- ly adhere to the letter and spirit of the said treaty. Medicine, Arrow, Big Head, George Bent, Hairy Wolf, Bear Tongue and Red Iron, all of whose names have become a terror to emigrants since the Chivington massacre, uai- ted in signing the Paper, together with six others of minor importance. The only remain. ing band is that of Little Rose, and I pre- pa further efforts will be directed toward im. “There were about four thonsand Indians at the council yesterday, eight hundred of whom were warriors. Major Wynkoop made a long, practical speech to them, setting forth the ad_ vantages that would accrue through a re- sumptien of friendly relations, and warning them against conunned acts of hostility, prom- ising that the Government will never again make like omissions: and if fight we must, would make an unconditional and relentless war. He was interpreted to by Uncie John Smith, and responded to by Medicine, Arrow and Big Head. “We procured from the dog soldiers a young lady captive named Amanda Fletcher, fifteen = of age, who was captured near Fort Hai- eck on the ist of August last, while en ronte for Idaho with her parents.

About one hundred and sixty miles of cable have been made, and the manufacture will soon proceed at the rate of one hundred miles per week. Early in June the Great wil leave Valentia with the new cable on and again endeavor to lay it in the Atlantic to Newtoundland. If this effort be successful, the great eteamer, baying taken in asupply of coal, will return to the mid. Atlantic, to pple for the last lost cable, the locality can ascertained within a quarter of a mile. snes ~ egg vessels will be provided with scien- Ufically constracted grappling a8, which, it is calculated, will bring the eable to the surface if once it be Jaid hold of. The attempt will be to grapple it in three places, at intervals of about two miles. When recovered, & message will be sent through this old cable te Valentia, to test its electrical condition, and if this be good, it will be spliced on to that of the old cable which remained on bonrd the Great Eastern after last year’s failure, and the mammojh steamer will then proceed pack w Newfoundland, trying to lay a second sub- Atlantic telegraph.
