PURSUING INDIANS ON THR RESERVATIONS— GENERAL SHERMAN, THE SECRETARY OF WAR AND THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR IN ACCORD ON THE SUBJECT. The recent orders of the War department di- recting our troops to pursue hostile Indiansinto their reservations, when necessary, has given rise toa rumor that the War and Interior de- partments gre at variance on this particular point. The following correspondence shows that General Sherman, the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Interior, and the commis- sioner of Indian aifairs are in entire accord on instant Gen. Sherman sent a tele- gram to Gen, Sheridan saying: ‘Don’t you think it would be weil to order the 6th and 10th cavairy to converge on Fort Sill and settle this matter at once, and prevent the Indians from turning towards Texas—as they naturally will— to get even especially if they have got the worst of it thus far. Each detachment could follo some fresh trail and word could be sent the friendly Indians in advance to collect for safety at Fort Sill. The hostiles should be stripped of all horses, mules, &c. Unless some- thing is done now the rascals will merely rest and start afresh. In transmitting an official copy of this tele- gram tothe Secretary ot War General Sher- man indorsed it as follows: “Respectfully for- worded to the Secretary of War inviting his epecial attention, and asking the positive com- mitts! of the Secretary of the Interior to the necessity now of following these raiding parties of Indians back into the reservation aud there punishing the guilty parties. If these indians may, on every provocati real or assamed, tally forth and killand steal from the exposed frontiersmen we can never expect peace. De- fensively it will require 10,000 cavalry to give even a partial protection, but offensively a thousand cavalry can fuilow them and punish them as there surely merit. Under date of the 16th instant the Secretary of War forwarded these communications to the Secretary of the Interior, saying that he con- curred in the views of Gen. Sherman and asking the early reply of the Secretary if the action which was recommended met with his recom- mendation.”” ‘These communications were referred by Gen. Cowen, Acting Secretary of the Interior, to Commissioner Smith, of the Indian bureau, who says in bis reply:—‘ Ihave the honor to refer to official letter of May lith, in which I recommended that reservation lines be no such tier to the pursuit by the military of ma- rauding Indians as to hifder the forces from striking these Indians and punishing them be- fore they should reach the main body of the tribe. Taleo called attention to the necessity of exercising great care in such use of the mi itary upon reservations to prevent indiscrim inate slaughter of the innocent with the guiity, and proposed to throw the responsibility of such care in each cage upon the commanding office * * Strict measures should be imm ately taken to keep the friendly India from the others, and permission should be offered to others who are friendly, acd have not had opportunity to join” ‘them, to come in; then all who persist in “hostility or who have bren guilty of murder should ba pure sned and punished. © * * It is proper in this connection that mention should be made of the prominent causes which have led to the present state of things. 1. The failure to poe ish the Comanches according to promise for their repeated and persistent raids and murders im Texas. 2. The failure of the government to protect the reservation Indians from the white buffalo hunters and horse thieves and whixk: traders, who have swarmed over this Indian country during the past winter, slangbtering the buifalo bythe thousands for their hides, and driving off large numbers of Indian ponies to Kansas. T only wish it were possible under law for the Hon. Secretary of War to sen’ his forces to the homes of these maranders, and compel justice from them as well as from the Indiars.” In transmittin, the Secretary of War, ¢ Cowen, Act ing Secretary of the Interier, concurred in the recommendation of the Commissioner, and ad- vised action according to his suggestions, Under date of the 20th instaut.Gen Belknap Secretary of War, wrote to the Secretary of thc Interior acknowledging the receipt of his munication, and saying that Gen. Sherman h jer’s letter to on or off their reservations, and that great care would be taken not to injare friendly ones. Under date of the 20th, Commissioner Smith forwarded telegrams to Superintendent Hoag and the agents in the Indian territory, inform: ing them of the determination of the’ Interior department relative to the hostile Indians in the territory mentioned, and asking them to co operate in the protection of the innocent and the punishinent of the guilty. He also tuformed them that friendly ludians must come in at once and be enrolled, and must be requtred t answer roll call dail Another Potato Bax Exter AKRON, July 21, 1574. Editor Star:—I notice in your lasue of the 10th instant a receipt from **C" for an exterminating powder for potato bugs. It is one-twelfth Paris green and 11-12 carbolate powder. That this is effective, I do not doubt, but it strikes me as needlessly expensive. I have had considerable experience in dealing with the pests, and have found a mixtureoft Paris green and lime plaster mort convenient for use and least expensive Experimenting with different proportions I have found that mixed in the proportion ofon: part by weight of Paris green to one hundred it seems equally a8 effective as a larger proportion of Paris green. The vines treated with this mix ture, by sprinkling itevenly upon them, wil need no more attention on acconntof bugs anti after a heavy rain. I know nothing about the adpesion of carbolate power, but doubt whether it willatick on the leaves as well as that Ww which I have referred and which fuss. With an appliance of my own invention, which spreads it very evenly, I can treat an acrc in two or three hours, using from 25 to 75 or 100 ibs. to the acre, according to the size of the vines. The cost of 100 lbs. of the mixture in this market is as follows: 9% ibs. lime plaster at halt cent, 49 cents; 1 1b. Paris green, best, 60 cent+; 100 Ibs. of the mixture, #1.10. Get the best Paris green. The second quality is nearly worthless tor this purpose. O. S. Wananga.

SHOCKING NUTILATION OF THE BODY OF KATS CURRAN. At the adjourned inquest in Boston yesterday afternoon, into the murder of Kate Curran by the boy Jesse Pomeroy, the surgeon who made the autopey #tated that the Lody of the girl was mutilated in the most shocking and revolting manner with some sharp instrumem. The laborer who found the remains testified they were only partly covered with ashes, and the head was completely separated (rom the body. The testimony of the officers who examined the cellar soon after the girl was missed was to the effect that they thoroughly examined the ash heap, but failed to discover anything. Pending the verdict of the coroner's inj gest Mre. Pom- eroy and her other sun are lield in custody. CONFESSION OF THE MURDER OF THE NOY MILLER, Jeme Pomeroy has confessed that he mur- dered the Millen boy on the 224 of inst April, describing in detat! how the murder was com- mitted. On the morning of the 221af April, Jesse rose carly an went to the store, and af- terward went to the city, returning home about Po'clock. He remained at the store until 11.39 o'clock, when he told his mother that he was going to the city. She gave her permission, and he went over to his mother’s house, where be remained # few moments, and then started for the city proper. He, however, went up Dorchester avenue to Sth street, where he saw the little Millen boy, and immediatety his evil genius got possession of him, and he determined to torture him, if not kill him. He asked the Girection of the marshes. When they arrived at the spot where the body was found, Jesse ¢ Millen boy to lie down, and the little fellow, not dreaming of bis denger, dii so. The young find then immediately sprang upon him, clapped his left band over the little innocent’s mouth to stop his outeries, and then, with the same jack-kuife that had but a month before been used to murder the unfortunate K atle Our- Tan, the monster deliberately cut the throat of the child that had so implicitly trusted him. The boy struggled fearfully, and the murderer, desperate at bis failure in uot at the first blow killing bis victim, stabbedhim repeatedly inthe bowels and chest.’ He mutilated the body in a frightful manner, but does not know, as he says, to what extent, and finally left kis victim ins dying condition. He cleaned his knite and per- fon as well as be could, and then took a car for Boeton proper, going to the Common, where he remained some time, and then returned home. The young murderer gives the same reason for committing this deed as he did for Curran, “that he could not help it. ie had no intention of killing any one up to the time of meeting the Milien bey, and the nefarious plan entered his head on the instant ho beheld the boy. Once, he says, conscience or some- thing made him turn back after he bad started and leave the boy where he had fount him, but something seemed to draw bim on, and “he had togo.” Thisin effect is the confession, and it Was told in the same cool manner as was the story of the murder of Katie Curran. Jesse further stated that he made this conlestion not because it gave him pleasure, but becaase he feared bis mother, brother, or some one else might be suspect THE RELEASE F. =“ Ti REFORM SCBROOL EX- PLAINED. As the question has exercised the public mind as to the release of Jeese Pomeroy, Gardiner Tutts, agent of the state board of charities, has prepared the following statement relative tothe TeleaseOt the boy:—Atter his arrival at the state reform schoo! he was medically examined and pronounced sane. At school he gave no evidences of a cruel disposition; his conduct was exceed- ingly good, and he rose to the bighest grade in the school,'a privilege which be did not abuse. Sixteen months after the boy entered the school the anthorities investigated bis home, and found tat hie mother was deserted by her husband was ® worthy woman, and that the boy coulu materially assist in the support of the family. Consequently, on the 6th of February the boy was released on probation, and in accordancs with the best juagment of carefal and bonora- ble men with the facts before them sel, is an absolute fabrication. 1 told the co: mittee distinctly that Mr. Beecher had confessed his adultery to me; that he had confessed it to + That Comet of Quis, broke, the &stronomer of Mr. Moulton; that he had confessed it to otuer persons whom I named; and, furthermore, | gare the names of several persons who, for four years, have been perfectly weli aware that Mr. Mouiton’s entire connep- tion with this case from beginning to end has heen based on the one and only corner-stone of Mr. Beecher’s criminality. I asked that all those persons be produced be- fore the committee; [ asked, furthermore, tor the privilege of being present to cross-examine Mr. Beecher and the other witnesses. 1 still further suggested that the case had come to be of such magnitude that it would be better for the committee to dismiss this informal investi- gation, in which no one but myself has thus far Spoken under oath, and adjourn to meet in court. Lexpressed a willingness to be sued for libel, or to be put in any other way before a tribunal which could compel witnesses to tes tify under oath, and which could punish per- jury with the state prison. “If this case, with all the facts which lie behind it, revealed and unrevealed, were now before a criminal! court, “Temple Observatory,” Kugby, writes to the London Times as follows: “Sim: As no account of the constitation of this comet hag yet appeared in your columns, 1 think it may be interesting to some of your readers to learn something of the teaching: of iteepectrum. It wasezamined on Wednesday night at the Temple Observatory, Kugby, wil the following resnits: The nucleus, or bright ut of the comet, gave a continuous # trum, or light of all colors. The fan-shaped part preceding the nucleus gave also a faint continuous spectrum crossed by three bright bands, showing the presence of light of three different colors only. From the faiat part ceding the fan there was a spectrum of three bands only; and in the spectrum of the tail, now some five millions of miles long, the same bande appeared. together with a faint continuous spec- trum. The interpretation of these results is briefly this: A continuous spectrum shows the presence of either a solid, liquid, or gas ath pressure, s0 the nucleus consists of one of these taree, most probably of a solid— instead of a voluntary committee, and if Mr. whether a solid ball or thick cluster of small Beecher’s printed statement had been mad: bodies doee not appear, but the latter is more under oath, subject to cross-qui overthrow, he would indeed be step down and out. I feel at liberty to speak freely, because Mr. Boecher's eounsel have falsi- fied ae to the werld, and I have no recourse but to smite them in the face.” THE BXAMINATION CONTINUED. The Beecher examining committee resumed their session yesterday, at the residence of Mr. A. Storrs, in Brookiyn. Ovington was ex- amined at some length with reference to the statements made by Mrs. Tilton to her husband. ‘The committee refused all information relative to the investigation, BO DIVORCE SOUGHT BY MRS. TILTON. The New York Times suye: It was stated ves- terday that Mrs. Tilton bad, through her law- yer, instituted legal proceedings with a view of obtaining a divorce from her husband. Gen.

Of late years it bas been shown that certain comets and cinsters of meteorites, such as give us those showers of August and November, travel on the same paths through space, and it is highly probabie that some of the largest comets mentioned by the arcients are now represented by flocks of meteorites; and now we bave another clue to the constitution of cumeta—namely, that they are clusters of meteorites surrounded by a bydro- carbon gas.
