TWO CENTS. The District Securities and the Effort | to Depreciate Them. New Yorx, August 22, 1873. To the Editor of The Star:—A great many per- rons in this elty, including several banks, are interested in the secrrities of the District of Columbia, and some of them, if they under- stand aright the authority given by Congress for the assessment of one-third the cost of your public improvements upon private property, have been @ spe ed to look upon the issue of eight per cent. bonds, based upon such assess- ments and anticipating the payment thereof the same being a first lien against property and collec.able as other taxes are—as a safe and The same pariies have gret, the excessively par- New York Tribune, both dispatches, to depreciate ieularly these eight f their value, and othe: , My object in alluding t> th's matter is to call attention to the fact that this eight per cent. certificates to ant.cip t of the as.essments is precisely analogous in principle to the issne of the reve- nue bonds of the city of New York by the con- troller, to anticipate the payment of the annual xcs. Such issue is authorized by the legisla- re of the stat d the bonds, year after year, have been ‘ssued and sold, and haye been rc- deemed out of the taxes when paid. Nobody ns the legality or F gegped of this pro-~ ceeding. nor the safety ef the security. Even the Zridune, of Monday last, editorially rebukes Contcoller Green for not exercising his authority and issaing more of these bonds so that the obli- tions ot the city can be paid. Suppose the Washington, or of the interior, should, an or other malicious purposes, make bonds, for the purpose of depreciation of the should we not have the virtuous Tribune Loiling over with indignation at such an as- sault? Yet with shameless inconsistency it berates Controller Green for not doing precisely what it condemns, with partisan rancor and malice, your authorities for doing. If the rumors I hear regarding the source of the Tridure's inspiration and information re- garding 1) strict of Columbia finances have any foundation, the sooner your anthorities let the hot water reach the boiling point the better for them and for your credit. STocKHOLDER, Frightfal Bursting of a Canal Feeder. TREMENDOUS FORCE OF THE RUSHING WATER—ONE HUNDRED VESSELS CRUSHED OR INJURED. special dispatch to the New York Times Wihnin, ve:—Farther details contirm the report yesterday. The in- to the Dek j vare and Chesapeake canal i: the worst consequence. The immense volume ot water bursting from the feeder wrought ter- rible destruction to the locks in the eastern end of Summit Level, in the town of St. George’s. Att large number of schooners and Rs were lying when the flood struck number is believed to be over one ‘The consequences were terrivie. The approach of the water was heard some distance of, with an awful roaring, and when it came the boa’ hurled in all directions. Many were carried far up into the fields, and others were piled in heaps and crushed into fragments. Ore schooner lies far up the meadows on her side, with tangled grass and weeds hanging in her rigging. As yet it is impossible to learn how many boats and vessels are wrecked, but the larger portion of the hundred are more or tess damaged. It is supposed that there has ben a serious loss of life, during the intense excitement. When the flood struck, many were heard orying for help, and’ ten or twelve per.ons are missing. The canal must be totally closed to navigation for several w-eks, and perhaps for two months, inflicting great !o-s and inconyenierce on all the inlana water trede between New York and Philadelphia and Baltimore. A later dispatch states that the damage to ve-sels and canal barges includes eleven schoon- ers and eighteen barges hopelessly wrecked, while twenty-cight schooners and th'rty- even barges, two tugs and one propeller steamer sre io and most of them more or less in- ured. Who Pays? [From the Boston Daisy Advertiser.] If there should be a disagreement between the president of a savings bark or :ust com- pany and its auditor, resulting in the retire- went from the company of the latter, and the resident should then publicly charge him with Paving been removed for insuvordination and incompetency, and he should publicly allege in Lis defence that the sole cause of the Pres.dent s dssatisfaction with him was his refusal as au- ditor to certify the correctness of accounts, which he knew to have been falsified by the President, and the said President should fhen, without any explicit denial of this, launch upon the press an overwhelming amount of advertising patronage, ingeniously contrived to lead the public mind away from the true issue, whoought to pay for tnis advertising—the compauy or the President Lim elf ? This question is respectfully submitted to the policy-holders of the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, hundreds of whom ere doubtless readers of the Advertiser. It is of some material interest 10 them. Inreply to the card of Sheppard Homans, lately printed in the Advertiser, stating rather pungently why Mr. Wirston, then President, wished toget ridof him, a very costly adveriiement is going through the leading newspapers from one end of the country to the other, and the nearest it comes to answering Homans’ damning accusation against the President—not against the company—is this: “Mr. Homars was removed from his po- sition in parson, pel for sufficient cause, b: the unarimous ac! of its board of trustees.” For anything that appears in this voluminous and irrelevant advet ment, the thirty-six trustees, whose names are appended to it, ma; have ‘‘ungnimously” removed Mr. Homans—if they ever did anything of the sort—just because he refused to audit fs accounts. The money is thrown away, even asa defense of Winston; and the company has not been attacked. How long are the polfcy-holders going toallow Wins- ton to fight his battles with ti money, ¢8- pecially when he has nothing better than the hiness see of fog and fragrance to oppose to Minie balls?

A Ternipty Acctpent tx BALTIMORE—One Man Instontly Killed—Three Otiers Badly In- jured.—Shortly after one o'clock on Saturday afternoon a report gained extensive circulation in the city that several men had been killed at Locust Point, and that a number of others had rously injured.

BATTLE WITH INDIANS! THE YELLOWSTONE EXPEDITION ATTACKED! Defeat of the Redskins! Gallantry of Gen. Custer and his Troops Forty Inciavs Killed and Woundea— Our Loss Small, The Expedition Homeward Bouad Musser Snett Rive Bent nm, Mont .n+, August 23.)—The abundant preparauon which the Yellowstone expedition made for the recep onof the Indians has been fuliy jus ‘fied. Augrst4, General Custer with Bloody Knife ard a squadron had been detailed neral Stanley to go several miles in ai- ve» e of the wagors and look up the road. Having gone about ton miles eread they haited ard picketed their Jovs:sin the woods by the river 19 wait for the t.ain. Two hours after- wards six Indians appeared on the plain and made demonstrations towed the camp. A dismountcd "ine of sk rmishers were thrown out , Augest 19, (via Fort eas'ly driven off, but proved a decoy of a large parvy in the neighborhood WAITING IN AMBUSH for the cavalry. Finding the ruse failed, Indians to the number of three hundred boldly rode out and adyanecd on the grove occupied by the cav- alry. Gen. Custer had only one squadron of eighty men, under command of Capt. Maylen. ‘Toe men again dismounted and form da sxir- mish line. The Indians also dismounted and formed a line in asemi-circle around the cay- alry, who had ‘he river at their backs. A rapid firing was kept up at a distance of four hundred yards. Gen. Custar deferred charging, a the main command would soon come up assist in capturing the Indians. After a three hours’ fight his ammunition gave out. He then CHARGED THE INDIANS, who precipitately fled, dropping many of their equipments. After ‘retreating several miles they took tothe bad lands. One man slightly wounded in the arm and one horse wounded, formed the extent of Crster’s loss. While the fight was going on several Ind‘ans leit the war party in search of stragglers from the train, and coming upon Dr. Honsinger, veterinary ‘sar- geon, and Mr. Balarin, cavalry suttler, who were less than @ mile from the column, they killed then and took their clothes and valua- bles, Private John Ball, of the cavalry, while out hunting, meta similar fate. In this fight two Indias were killed and several wounded. They lost several ponies. CUSTER ON THE TRAIL. General Starley directed General Custer to take the cava'ry, numbering 450 men, and fol- low the trail, and if possible overtake and pun- ish the Indians, General Custer left on the night of the 8th. On the morning of August 11, at daylight, be was attacked by about 800 Indians, who c .me down the river and fired on hiscamp. The firing was returned tor two or three hours, both parties using trees as cover. A party of 300 Indians then crossed the r.ver above and below the camp, and endeavored to gain the bluffs in the rear. Men dismounted and posted on the blufts received them bravely. The Indians bebind the ridges kept up a galling fire until CUSTER ORDERED A CHARGE. The men then mounted and pursued them hotly for eight miles. Jus: at this time the train came up and opened on the Indians across the river with artillery. A few shots dispo.ed of them and ended the fight. This battle, which took place within two miles of the Big Horn, was a fierce one. General Custer and Adjuant Ketcham had their horses shot under them; Lieut. Braden was badly shot in the thigh; private Tuttle, General Custer’s orderly, was killed; and twenty soldiers were slightly wounded. , ,THE INDIANS’ Loss is estimated by General Custer at forty killed and wounded. The Indians were well armed with heavy rifle:, and had an abundance of ammunition. Some were dresved in clothe) precured at the agencies. These were ma‘nly eceperes supposed to be under command o. S.tting Bull, and are also supposed to have received their supplies from Fort Peck, on the Mis ouri. THE EXPEDITION HOMEWARD BOUND. The expedition arrived at Pompey’s Pillar on the 15th, and reached Musiel Shell, 150 miles from Fort Benton, on the 19th, and is now homeward bound. ‘General Stanley expects to reach Fort Rice bythe Ist of October. The health of the command js good. Lieut. Braden is getting on well. —_—~o——. New York Notes. A NUISANCE ABATED.

A letter from Philo, Illinois, says nineteen car loads of corn shipped by the granges from Tolono to Toledo realized ‘from ten to twent; iT cent. above the usual profit. Encou y this the granges have called for more cars, and are going to erect elevators, buildings and machinery of their own. THE LIBERAL REPUBLICAN STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, through their chairman, John Cochran, have sent an invitation to the democratic state com- mittee to unite in calling one state convention of those opposed to the present administration. ‘THE CASE OF THE ITALIAN PADRONE Motto was continued to-day. Mrs. McQuade testified that she had known the boy, Joseph, two years; knew him as the son of Vincenzo Pascennello, who, Saturday, testified that he was Joseph’s father; Joseph was in the habit of laying with her children. Joseph admitted Taowite Mrs. McQuade and her children. Two children of Mrs. McQuade fully corro- borated her testimony. Commissioner Osborne said he had heard h. The open f of the children was conclusive. The it district attorney asked an adjournment until to-morrow, to obtain further testimony, be- lieving that of Mrs. McQuade to be false. The nse was adjo’ to noon to-morrow. BIN J August 25.—A. portion wr, N. — rt ng mmo te Bening rete ton, N.

The great furnace and nail mills were saved, but the saw mill, cooper shop. ¢rying houses, and one og8 of nails were burned.
