NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, MARCH 15, 1858. "The Overiand Mail SPSCLAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE BBRALD. Preston, Texas, Feb. 1, 1858. ‘Me expedition left the banks of the Arkansas river op fsarday, Janusry 23. About six miles after crossing the Arkansas we leave the Cherokee Nata and strike the Qreeks. This nation numbers about twenty thousand, to gether wilb some five hundred alaves, jnc'uded with them are seme fifteen hundred Semiveles. In point of civiliza- en the Creek Indians are not equal. to the Cherokees. ‘Brey are much more indolent, and let their crops rot on the ground for want of proper care. Their form of civil government is fer lees perfect than that of apy other na- Gon w the territory. The Choctaw and Chickasaw nations are merged tage- fer, and occupy a tract of land in the extreme southern partef the wrritory, capable of producing most abundant erope of corn, flax, hemp, tobacco, &c., and would sus. ‘tain 3 population as dense as that of any on the continent ef Rxrope. Both of these tribes are rapidly improving in comfort and civilization, They have fine farms, weil mtocked, together with cotton gins, jooms, flouring mills, Be. They are probably the wealthiest tribes in the tarri- tory, haying realized a large Amount of money from the wale of their lands east of the Mississippi to the United Mates. The Chickasaws have a large fund applicable to various objects of civilization—ten thousand dollars o which is annuslly applied to education, The Choctaw iso have six thousand dollars annually applied w the Bame obj oct. The streame running through the territory from the Arkansas to the Red river are the main obstacles that im- pede thetrayel. Several of the creeks—prominent among which are Fik and Gains—during heavy rains come- times rise at the rate of from six inches to one foot per hour, and eftentimes their banks overflow for a distance of quarter of a mile. A new road, however, isin the course ‘ef construction (and will be completed the eorning season) from the Arkansue to the Canadian river, which will make & much more practicable route and doaway with all obsta- cles now encountered in crossing streams. The expedition croased the Canadian river on Tuesday, the 26th Jenuary, This isone of the fuest streame rua- ing through the Indian territory, and is possessed of scene- ry unsurpassed by that of any in the Southwest. At te point where we crossed a beautiful scene lies spread out before the eye. ‘The gress had just begun to sprout and he trees begun to bud, presenting one of nature's por. fwaits most in harmooy with Ouiniscient Jove, who ordain- ed % for man’s comfort.

Beyond the river we crossed the Canadian mountain, where scother grand panorama is spread out before us, From its summit may be seen a vast range of mountains, @xtending as far as the eye can reach, over a beautiful prairie country, with here and th: re a «mall grove of tim. ber. kt coke ke @ park, laid ont wih royal magmi. ence, as verdant as the most carefully kept enclosara, Sovering hundreds and thousands of acres, extecaing for miles around you, planted with sturdy oaks, with the or- Ger of & well bet orsberd, WaTDg RO UDLerbrush to wter- “Dept your progress and no feaces to probivit you from trespass, where you can walk er ride in almost any di- rection over the rich xreen sward, presenting & picture rich and fair as the san visite in all the Wess. ie We have passed through few villages of any importance.

The Courier’s account of the was on Monday night at twelve o'clock. One of the most singular cases which ever came under our ol ,or in our reading, occurred yesterday morning at the penitentiary in this clty. A convict named Hall, Chicago, who is now serv- term, formed the idea of soquiring bis watched oppor- and when no other cept Mr. Crabb, whom he knocked down and stunned by asevere blow on the head, then dragged him into one of the lower celis, Crabb’s hands behind his back, fastened the cell door ‘Dy means of a stick of timber, previously put in the cell Dy some confederate, then drew @ huge knife from his bocom, aasisted Crabb to rise, put him against the door, and threatened him with death, unless he was allowed to go at Liberty. . ‘This most during attempt was soon known, and ly brought Col. Buckmaster and his to Bpot- The convict threatened Crabb with instant desth if any attempt was mace upon the door, holding his knife within a couple of inches of Crabb’s breast. For upwards of an bour Col. Buckmaster and his watched an - nity to shoot bim, but there being but one opening in the door, and that quite small, he kept Crabb constantly be- tween hin and the opening, so that he cold only be reached through Crabb’s body. ‘Thus mattere continued until noon, when Crabb made some effort to open the door, Dut was inmmedtately cut se- yerely in the band by the cou During the day the convict stated hie terms of sudagasion to be @ revolver, loaded by bimself, a full suit of citizen's dress, $100 in money, and to be driven out of town in @ close carriage, ascompanied by Crabb, to such place as he should de- kignate; all of Which ware of course inadmissible. Inthe meantime, however, Coi. Buckmaster procured a pardon from the Governor, to be used in his discretion; but up to 12 o'clock last night no wformation had been given of it to the convict. Al! day the guards were on the watch wo shoot the scoundre], but as he had positively declared be would kill Crabb if he was not inetantly killed nimseif, great care had been taken for fear be might put his threat mexecution. Crabb bad no arms whatever, the yard guards Yot being allowed ry soy, and had nothing whatever to defend himeelf from any sttack of the des- perade About eleven o'clock last night, one of the guird got a shot at him, but averted nis dro upon a change of position, for fear of shooting Crabb. The ance to the cell is very narrow, the door o/ plate iroa, With a email gracing at the top for ventilation. The door opens inwards and is very strongly fasteued. it is im- poss. ble to got at the scoundrel without using great force, which we learned would be applied this morping unless he should be shot during the night. During the day great feare were entertained thathe woul kill the guard, and for fear of that, active operations were not pusbed for- Ward. Those best informed think there is now very little danger of his putting bis threat into exeoutioa, as be must know that death would instantly be his lot. Hall, the couvigt, is represented to be a most desperate scoundrel, In view ot his character and his breats our Citizens Were much alarmed for the safety of Crabb, who is well Known and highly appreciated, and who has a family residing im the city. Yesterday everything was done which could be done conristently with Crabb’s safety. No chance would the convict give for any injury to himeeif, as he either stu dioaely kept the guard between him and the grating, or laid down agaiast the door, aud out of the reack of a shot. He professed to have po ili Soottag to Crabb, bnt bad de- Uberately planned this method of gaining his liberty, and wonld Kill Crabb and then kill himself, unlegs be wae pard » Sod taken out in the manner stated. [Special despatch to the St. Louis Dem: , Avtox, March 9-84 o'clock P. M. At cine o'clock this mornug, Rutherford, the State Super stendept, and Colonel Buckmaster, warden, uncer- took to get into the cell of the prisoner by stratagem. Break ast was ect a) the cel! door ip vessels of larger size than ordipary, but the convict refused to open the door until the hall ‘was cleared, which, after brief consulta tion, was done.

The following is a comparative statement of the importations of foreign merchandise at New Orleans Such an importation would show that our foreign | for two yeare:— trade was restored to a strong and substantial basis; that we had, by economy and industry, paid up the balances which had accumulated against us during Bullion and specie... cs past years of extravagance, and that we were once more not only out of debt to foreign manufacturers, but had fairly turned the tables upon them, and were getting back asmall portion of the gold paid for foolish Inxuries. This fact would be sufficient to restore and strengthen pablic confidence, and serve more than anything else to satisfy all classes that, with a judicious consumption and moderate importa- tion of foreign manufactures, and a liberal use of all articles of foreign productions known as ordinary necesearjes, there is no ccuntry in the world better calculated to keep its foreign trade so that the ba- lance would be in its favor at the close of every year than the United States of North America. There is no reason in the world why our semi-monthly remit- tances of California gold should pass through us to | New York Gaateal.. $847,853 Europe. Nearly every year since the California receipts commenced the exportation of gold from this port to Europe has been nearly to an equal amount. Jt is trae that in some shape we have got value received; but that is not the point. Our metallic eur- rency requires the annual addition of forty to fifty millions of dollars to put it on a par with that of the principal commercial countries with which we deal, and until the standard of our cirenlating medium ranges as high as that of Great Britain and Franee they will enjoy superior advantages in all the opera- tions of trade, We have received from Mr. Comptroller Gardiner, of Milwaukie, a detailed statement of thé ontstand- ing indebtedness of that city. Tt is full and compre- hensive, and just the thing for holders of the city bonds. Under the administration of Mr. Gardiner the financial affairs of Milwaukie are getting into good shape—order and system now prevail, instead of confusion and derangement. The present Comp- troller’s eilorts to protect the credit of the city are duly appreciated by bondholders in all parts of the country, and it is to be hoped his services wil! be re- taped, as a guaranty for the future. With the fipan affairs of the.city in such hands there can | be no difficulty in negotiating any new loan, and no danger of defaulting in the payment of interest on the present indebtedness. To a young and thriving city vromptness and punctuality ave of the first im- portance, and property Lolders in Milwaukie should bear in mind that any change in their financial affeira is likely to be a loss instead of a benefit. The exportation of specie from this port last week amounted to $225,274 30, most all of which went to Havana. This makes the total exportation for the year,up to the 13th inst. inclusive, $9,996,713 67. The banks will, without doubt, show a smaller spe- cie reserve in the next weekly statement than in the last, in consequence of the withdrawals for deposits on bids made for the new government loan, or new issue of Treasury notes. The bids have been very large, avd the Secretary of the Treasury will get all the money he wants npon the most favorable terme. The California steamer is nearly due, with another semi-monthly remittance of gold. This will cive w minutes for ref , and the rebel waa, after much dodging and effort to get out of the reach of the ire, shot by the warden. The ball struck his skull just below the left ear, and glaucing around, lodged nJey the ekail. He fell instantly and was dragred out of the cel!, and was thought to he dead, but soon recover- ed and talked as sensible as any man could under the c: cumetane After the convict was taken out of the cell his knife, about eight imches long, with a double edge, was found in the cell, and on bie person was found also other larger knife with a blade four inches long. Crabb, the wounded guard, was immediately taken to the hos ta), and bis wounds were examined and dressed by ir. Williams, the prison surgeon, and Alien. The left iene was found to be twice forated by the knife. The otber wounds were pot dangerous. After bis wounds were dressed he felt quite comfortable and conversed very freely. He expreesed a sense of his dangerous condRion. but wag cau and hopeful. His wife visited him about it o'clock to day, and he bore himaelf with much fortiinde throughout the interview. His physicians consider bie case very critical, and that the chances are much against his recovery. The convict was laid on mattrass in the prison hall. Be said he hoped Crabb would live and in the next bres! said he had put five men in the same fx he was ip him ‘De, McMasters was present, and endea' faithfully \ draw bis attention to the fact of he Pa deata.

MONEY MARKET. Scxpay, March 14—6 P. M. The demand for money is evidently increasing. Among the brokers and stock speculators of Wall street there has been more inquiry and considerable shifting of loaus. Several of the most prominent private banking houses have not been such free lenders, but with all this the market contianes per- fectly easy, and the rates of interest rule at the lowest points, We attribute thie activity among financiers ‘0 the changes going on in bolders of stock urities than to any change in the supply and cheapness of capital. The movements in foreign exchange are attracting some attention. The steady decline in rater for the best sterling bills points to further importations of specie from Europe at no dis tant day. The best bills on London sold for th» last packet at eight and eight and a half per cent pre mium, and drawers look for much lower quotations. The supply of bills is already very large and rayidly increasing, while the general importation of mer chandive continues quite limited. The advance in qu: tations for cotton and active operations in Lives pool must materially swell the value of our exports. The shipments of cotton thus far this season have been much less than those for the corresponding period last year, and the advance in prices is, there fore, of the first importance to holders on this side. The crop i likely to be large—fully an average one— and if present prices continue the aggregate jpro- ceeds will exceed anything ever before realized. Our export trade in other articles of domestic produce has heen good throughout the winter, and the aggregate value from this port is not far behind that for the same period last year. We have been gaining at both ends of the rope. With a very great cxease in our import trade, and an increase in our export trade, we have been rapidly reducing what- ever indebtedness may have remained against ns on foreign account at the clove of the financial panic last fall. We have not anly in our foreign trade—ao far as merchandis is concerned—been paying np old debts and avoiding new ones, but we have sent out » lots of public securities, and availed ¢ of every method of turning the balance of trac the credit to the debit side of the account. If ave not already succeeded in so doing, we rt time, if 1 Liver tue demand us ow ytton mark and swell the enormous reserve now in hand. The movements in foreign exchange indicate | bummer. much lower points for sterling bills. The high est rates ruling at the close yesterday for bankers’ bills on London were 8 a $j per cent premium, The rates tend downward, and the impressien is gaining ground that the current of specie will set this way from London before the expiration of the next sixty days. This is not at all improbable. The absence of large importations and the activity of exports point to a large supply ‘of bills, and ex- perienced parties in the business predict rates on London as low as 63.47 per cent before the Ist of dune. To bring bullion to this city from London, just at this time, appeare very much like carrying | 14000 Cal’ coals to Newcastle; but we must not be astonished at anything in the financial world. Independent of any 8 from Earone, the specie reserve of our city banks is likely to reach forty millions of dollars before the Ist of July, merely from California and our local amount of accumulation. The banks have already more than they know what to do with, and are fairly burdened with tho dead weight now in their vaulte, The following are the quotations for coin and bul- | ion :— Per Cont, Vag el. per£.$4 76 9 $490 Am. half dolls... ..10834a104 American gold. par Aq. quarter iotls.102 a— Coinwith the Coinad Previous to 83.

The necessity for the substitution of coal for wood as fuelfor locomotives is every day becoming more apparent.

The accompanying certificate of Mr. Winslow, su- perintendent of the Boston and Lowell road, exhibits ‘ the saving by the substitution of coal for wood upon that road:— Orrick oF Tite Bostow AND LOWELL Ramroap, Boston, March 6, 1558, Yours of the Iat Inst, is received.

WINSLOW, Sup't. The Phenix and Zabriskie have been run- ning on the New Jersey road from Jersey City to New Brunswick, during the past winter, the latter with the express passenger train, with an rage consumption of 32 pounds of Cumberland coal, at a cost of ten cents per mile. These results clearly establish the economy of coal as a locomotive fuel, and place its general introduction into use beyond a ques- tion of doubt. While wood is each year rapidly disap- pearing and enhancing in price, coal is likely to remain at its present value. Upon most of the New England roads wood is now so expensive as to increase the running expenses beyond the contingency of a fair dividend. The objection “of the smoke nuisance” which has hitherto existed to the ase of coal on loco- motives, is entirely obviated by the Boardman patent engine above alluded to, in which the com- bustion is so perfect as entirely te consume both us another million and a half to go into bank | *perks and smoke, and to render it a more pleasant engine for passenger trains than the ordinary wood With these advantages it will not be long before the managers of such roads as those in the above list, on which economy is a matter of first necessity, will make an effort to transfer the nine hundred thousand dollars per year now expended for surplns fael, to the more usefal purpose of liqui- dating outstanding obligations and paying dividends, Saronnay, March 13, 1858. $3000 Ohio e's, " 150 shs Hudson R KR 1000 Indiana 2 60 d0...,..D15 40 Virginia 6 30 2000 do... bau ALssour! 30, 7 do... 060 torn’ car 1200 oe, 'T di00 NY con't 1000 do. bao 13 4000 TH&altoa 2m. 18000 LO&MLGbs..410 1000 do. 1000 CF 8pob 6 ube Bk of America 10934 10 Amer Exch Dank, 105, ‘16 MetropolitanBank 104 20Commonw'th Bk. 90 G 20% 000 20), 20 cBese¥ fet?
