FROM CRESCENT CITY—THREE WHITES KILLED—BS- OAPE OF THE INDIANS—UNITED STATES TROOPS PURSUED. By the Columbia we have received the Creacent City Herald ot the 16th January, from which we make the fol lowing extracts :— About New Your’s day armail party of whites aisco- vered a band «f Indivns on Applegate creek, some twoaty- five or thirty miles from Jacksonville. Pretending to be aiiners on a prospecting tour, they managed to remaia on the cieek, unsospected by the Lidlans, until they coud send word to the nesrest se’tlewents, | These Indika’ ap- 1d to belong to the oand tha: commiited tne depre- ‘ions on the upper Klamath, as they pretenced to en- tertain hostile feelings agains: the wiites in that region cnly, ard ld not care to fight the “Bostons” about Jack. forvalie, As soon a8 information of their whereabouts was re- ovived in tne valley, about 150 of the troops, and many Ai rerebpiters, ‘tok up the liae of march for Apvlegase on the 4d of January, carrying one of the mountain now. itzers aloog. Wheo soouttwo miles from Jacksonville, Mr. Mariin Ange! and Join McLaughlin passed ahead of thoop of thirty soldiers, and within a distance of only 400 jards of them were snot a: by the Indians, Mr. Angel’s ‘orse took fright, and whi'e canteriog off the traii the In- dians succeeded with several more shots to kill borse and rider, and then stripping them, taking Mr. Anges two revo! nd rifle. Avgel’s ccmpunion, M-Laughlia, succeeded in rejoin- ing the soldiers, who Immedi..ly loaded their guns, wad then advanced toward the spot whore Angsi fell. Chey came soon enouga to make the Indians hasten their #s- cape and drop sume of ‘he plander, but Ang») was already dead. Mr. Henry M Hutchins, our informant, learnei that on the same morning Mr. dull was out huatiag with his son, when the iatter was killed by the Indians, and it 1s thought tbis was done by the same scout which killed Angel. Gn thie adlot Skudary! purmiing, thele rasreh towards Applegate, the solciers had the misfortune to ioe one of their mules, louded with ammunition for the howiizer, and consequently bsd to send back for a new aupply, which came ply on the 5th. Meanwhile « portion of the torce of the whites had got up to the Indisn camp, which consisted of severa: iog cabina, formerly occupied by miners, but now changed iuto forts, wich numerous aper- tures, through which they fired in such @ manner that several whites were wounded at a distance of 300 yards. Their camp waa, however, surrounded, ana the success of the whites depended upm their ability to keep the In- * in position. in the afternoon of the 5th the howitzer was got ready, fired, and the shot fe!l directly upon one of the catins, killing three In ians. Several more shots were fired before night, but witnout effect. During the night the Indisns, judging ciscretion to, be the better part of valor, broke through the guards of the whites and escaped. We learn with great regret that in this untoward wffair, our friend Dr. W. Myeve, of this city, was killed, and vevecul othera wounded. The disappointment o the publio, in hearing of the ta- giorious issue of this movement. is the more asately felt. as from the previous success on Butte creek, it vas confidently expected that the troops at jength had made up ‘heir minds to go at it wiha will. The essape of the Indians remains tv many inexplicable. Five weeks earlier frem 400 to 500 :roops withdrew trom before 150 Indians at the “ Big Meadows; now 33 Indians eluded the vigi- lange of eight times their nomber of whites. We are too remote from the scene of action to judge correctly of the merits of the case, but this much we wight iofer from the past—that ic takes a long time to whip 200 hostile Indians, Later from Salt Lake. We have dates from Great Salt Lake City to the 28th November. On tre 2d and 34 cf November, a violent east wind bad caused much camage at North Willow Creek, Weber county, causing great destruction of property. it blew down some howes and unroofed others; blew off car- riage tops and wi beds; scattered bayatacks, chat and stzaw piles, avd hurled gravel stones Mike bullets. Granaries were unrooted, and the wheat hurriedly sown broadcast, striking window glass hundred yards disteat with the force and clatter of small hailstones. The wails of the large new scooihouse were almost entirely levelled to the ground. The same gale blew fiercely over the whole distance from Cache Va.loy to Session’s settlement. In Farmington and Cen:reville, house roofs were blown off, anc. portions of walls blown down.

MONEY MARKET. Wepnespay, Feb. 13—6. P. M. Quotations for stocks still tend upward. There ‘was not so much activity this morning atthe board, but the demand for ali the leading railroad stocks continues brisk. The corner in Michigan Southern Railroad stock has run its course, and the defaulting bears can now take in their shorts at lower prices and fulfil their contracts. Several of them have suffered some, and it has exposed the real rottenness of several houses which have heretofore had the cre- dit of being solvent. It would be well for outside operators to exercise the utmost caution in giving their orders and in depositing their margins. The bears generally have been much weak- ened by the losses on their sales within the past week or two. There ig a great scarcity in Wall street of regular commission brokers of houses con- fining themselves exclusively to the buying and sell- ing of stock for a brokerage, where both parties will be protected im their interests, The recent rise in stocks has not been so profitable to the smaller class of outside purchasers as they had reason to antici- pate from the daily improvement. Many of them found, upon calling for their stock, that the con- tracts they held were almost worthless, so that in” stead of making their two, three and five per cent, they had nothing but a claim for differences against some highly honorable members of the Board of Brokers, who, by the consent of his assoviates, is permitt:d to retain his seat, that he may, at some future time, carry on the same game again. At the first board to-day, Indiana 5’s advanced } per cent, Illinois Central bonds }, Harlem 3, Reading Railroad 1, Hudson River Railroad $, Cleveland and Pitteburg 3, Panama 1, Milwaukie and Mississippi }. Canton Company fell off } per cent, Nicaragua Trau- sit 3, Cumberland 4, Cleveland and Toledo 3. Michi- gan Southern opened at 984 and closed at 94} per cent, with sales summing up about twenty-five hun- dred shares. The transactions were principally for cash. This decline isno more than might have been auticipated from the completion of the cornering operation. The sales to-day were probably on ac- count of the early purchasers, and as they must have bought their bulk of the stock below 90 per cent, it follows that they have made a good thing of it. ‘The stock will goon racge from 95 per cent upwards, and become one of the most substantial dividend paying securities on the market. At the second board the market was very buoyant. Erie was the favorite, and closed firm at 69 per vent, anadvance of 2} per vent on prices current at the first board.

The bids for Esat Bos’on, Cary, Edgeworth wnd Waveriey were ucusualiy epitied,and but forthe reluctance of holders of these stocks to aieat the marke’, @ fair busiaess would be the result of this ew imptlse, We gave a few days since the round figures of the land gales of the Illinois Central Railroad Company in January. The sales amounted to 11,431 36-100 acres, averaging $15 24 per acre, amountiag to $175,057 46. It is, We learn, the intention of the company to sell during the present year its lands most remote from Chicago, so as to throw as much business at as early a day as possible over the great est extent of road. Tie lands nearest Chicago are increasing in value so fast that the company intend holding them as long as possible, 80 a8 to derive the greatest bencfit from the improvements going on about them. There are valuable tracts of land lo- cated near the junction of the main road and the Chicago branch, and it is the intention of the com- pany to bring these lots into the market at once. The object is to get settlers on them, and to get them under cultivation, for the purpose of ex- tending the company’s traffic operations. Under the administration of Mr. Osborn, the President, the most comprehensive policy has been pursued throughout all the departments, and we have every guaranty that every resource will be made available to its fallest extent. In the early stages of this company it was badly managed, and for a time it was doubtful if its immense landed estate would realize the expectations of its friends. Fortunately better men assumed the management, and wiser counsels prevailed. The government fell into the hands of young, enterprising and practical men, and the company now occupies a position equal to all that could have been anticipated. Its landed estate will net a sum far greater than the company’s entire indebtedness, long before maturity, and the stock- holders will have a magnificent property in the rail road, at a small cost. The following statistic, taken from the records of the Boston Custom House, will show the loss in the trade with Russia which Boston bas sustained by the Eastern war. During the two quarters ending Dec: 31, 1863, before the war, there were imported iuto that port direct from Russia, goods to the value ot $513,647. For the corresponding quarters in 1855, after the war commenced, the imports amounted to only $88,409, showing a decrease of $425,238. None ot the goods entered in 1855 were from Russia di- rect, as her ports were closed, but the whole was re" ceived through England and Prussia.

The capi’alists being obliged, in order te «brain speci», to throw their Austrian securities into market, produced a further tendency to deprestation in all kinds ‘ot ntocks; and itis asserted by sume that no permanent change for the better can take piace until the termins- tion of the Eastern war, end then only in tae eveat that Austiia tball have continue’ neutral. In 1811 Austria owed paper movey and public effects to the amount of 1.060 000,000 of florins, Austrian cur- recy, (about $614,000,000,) and the empire besame bavkrupt. per money was -educed to a fifth of ite nominal value, and the in erest was ulso reduced to eve-bal! ot what it had ) It betug paid in paper morey ; 80 the interest on the public debt was, in fact, recuced to ove-fifth—but taking int» account the redno- tion of the value of paper money, the public debt was hrougit down only to a tweaty-fifta part of the original liability of the gove.nmeot. Iv 1818 @ certain re-extabliement of the former deot was made, end the ancient obiigations were to form a kind of snnual lottery, the fortunate ticket holcer reoviy- ng the former interest on bis money. But this was no relief to the thcusands who lost their money by this breach of trust in 1811, because it was ound that the ancient stocks had passe into the hangs of speculating capitalists, who were the only gainers, Shortly after the Austrain Benk was founded. It ‘was to be thoroughly independent of government. ‘here were originsliy 60.000 shares, for which 100 florins in carb and 1.000 florins in paper money were paid on esca. Bu’ the bavk immediately reimbursed itself by payivg Jour florirs in specie for ten florins ia paper money, the gove nment became directly indebted to the bank, and this state of affairs has continued ever since.
