NEW .. YORK HERALD, (WEDNESDAY, “OCTOBER 30, 1867.~—TRIPLE SHEET. NL WASHINGTON. Wasmmotox, Oct, 29, 1867, 12 o’Clock Midnight, Alarm in the South at an Expected Negro a Insurrection. The prospect of a» negro outbreak in the South is be- Ginning to excite serious alarm in official quarters here. Several prominent gentlemen from the South have re- Cently called upon the President and represented that the negroes were undoubtedly possessed of arms and ammunition in large quantities. They state that the Dlacks were organizing with hostile intentions, and con- templated the slaughter of the defenceless whites at the first favorable opportunity. These gen- tlemen urged the President to increase the military force in the five military districts, and thus by a timely display of power overawe the disaffected blacks, Nothing short of this, they think, will prevent an early uprising of this half- Civilized ciass and the repetition of ali the atrocities of San Domingo, One of these gentlemen predicts that the war of caste will commence before the expiration of @ month, unless the government adopts strong measures to prevent such a calamity, This gentleman declares the megrocs throughout the South have a thorough understanding, and that they have even fixed upon the impeachme: of the President as the proper moment for a bloody uprising. These gloomy forebodings may be only the offapring of the natural fears entertained by the South- ero whites; but I have reason to think that the govern- ment entertains the most serious apprehensions. The ‘whites are entirely unarmed and defenceless, while the Diacks bave an abundance of offensive weapons, picked up from battlefields during the war, and since purchased by money hoarded away, I am informed that scarcely a negrocabin in the South is without arms enough for four or five persons, The President will undoubtedly take steps for the protection of the defenceless whites; Dut should the negroes revolt at the present moment, while the whites are so entirely denuded of all means of deience, it is no exaggeration to state that one-third of the later would be butchered before the national forces would have time to offer eff ctive succor. ‘The force at present under the direction of the Military Commanders ‘would be entirely inadequate for such an emergency. Thad Stevens Taking Time by the Forelock. The Washington Chronicie and the Philadelphia Press will to morrow contain an elaborate address from Hon, Thaddeus Sievens, ea pressing his views on public affairs, Mr. Stevens takes this method of speaking to bis country- men, fearing, lest in his greatly enfeebled condition, he might not be able to speak in the next session of Con- gress, The Fisher-Bradley DiMficulty-Bradley to Show Cause Why He Should Not be Pun- ished for Contempt. The Supreme Court of the District of Columbia in its grperal term had before it to-day the subject of the difficulty between Josepn H. Bradley, Sr., and Judge Fisher, which took place during the Surratt trial, and which resuited at its close by lr, Brad! name being stricken from the roll of practising attorneys of that court by order of Judge Fisher. The recorded history of tne affair was recited by the Supreme Court, which remarked that the conduct and language of Mr, Bradley required investigation, and it was tuere- fore ordered that he show cause, on or before the fourth day of November next, why he should not be punished for-contempt of this court by reason of said vilensive Conduct and language towards one of its members, and Telating to the official act of said Justice; and it is furtuer ordered that until the final disposition of this order the anid Joseph H.

Preliminary Council With the Indiane—All ef the Tribes Not Present—Speeches Made—Ad- Jouroment. devious Lopcs Cazpt, Kansas, Oct. 19, 1867. The preliminary council with the Cheyennes, Arapa- hoes, Apache, Kiowa and Comanche nations of Indians has just concluded, The council was beid in a beautiful grove on Medicine Lodge Creek, about a quarter of a mile distant from the headquarters of the Commission, and was attended by nearly ail the principal chiefs and head men, numbering at least a thousand, A shady bower had been erected for the occasion, the Commissioners occu- pying seats at one end, and the head chiefs seated upon the ground in a circle about them. ‘The scene wi most picturesque and beautiful one, and everything thus far bas passed off to the satisfaction of all parties, * In consequenceof the non-srrival of a portion of the Cheyennes very little was done to-day, with the excep- tion of listening to the speech of Senator Henderson on the part of the Commission, and the reply of Satanta, head chief of the Kiowas, and one or two other brief speeches by obiefs of other bands. It is expected that the council will consume two or three days more, to be followed by the distribution of goods and presents to bind the treaty. The following is a verbatim copy of Senator Hender- son’s remarks and the speeches of the chiefs:— Our Frienps or THE CHEYENN#, ARAPanor, APACRE, Ki0- Wa anv Comancus Nations oF Inviaxs—The government of the United States, which you know as the Great Father, has sent us, the seven Commissioners now in council with you, to visit you at your homes and b: 7 talk with you. Two years the government entered of peace with you the Little Arkansas, and we hoped that war between us had forever ceased. We are sorry to be disappointed. During the last year news has often come to us that pers belonging to your tribes were committing acts of war against u*, by attacking persons ly en- gaged in building railroads, and capturing women and children, killing and scalping our men and taking stock from emigrant and government trains. These things made our hearts cad. Some of our people said you committed these deeds, ethers denied it; some said that our people commenced the war by committing the first deeds of wrong; others said our people bad done po wrong and that you had no justification. Some said you and other Indians were preparing for a general war against the whites, while others defended you against the accusation. In this conflict of opinion we could not find the truth, and the goverament (or Great Father) bad sent us among you to bear from your own lips whether at avy time you commiwed acts of violence against our people, and if so, that you state to us boldly the wrongs on our part which ca1-ed you to commit them, We do not like war, because it brings suffering and death to both sides; but we do like brave men, and to tell the truth is the highest evidence oi courage We now again ask you to state to us whether you bave committed any of these things charged, and if so, give us frankly the rea-ons therelor. What has the government done of which you complain? If our soldiers have treated you badly, tell us when and how they did it, aud who is the guilty officer. If the agents Whom we send to you to protect your mterests have cheated or defrauded you, be not afraid to tell ua. We have come to hear ali your complaints aud correct all your wrongs. We have full power to do so, and we pledge you our eacred honor to be true, For anything you say in this council you shall not be barmed. Betore ‘we proceed to staie fully what we are authorized to do for you, we desire to hear trom you what you have sutlered and what you want, We say, however, we intend to be % to the red man. If we have harmed him we in‘end to heal the wrong with fall jus- tice, If he has barmed us we believe that he is suf. ficiently brave and generous to acknowledge it and merit pardon by ceasing the wrong and doinz the rignt. Al present we only say we are greatly rejoiced to find you s0 much disposed to peace and friendsiip. We are especially giad because, as individuals, wo teel Kind the red man, and if we could wo would at once give him civilization, religion and all the comforts of weaith. And we are authorized by our government, in case tie red man wants peace and friendship, to provi) for him a good and comtortuble home upon our richest agricul. tural jands, build for him schoo! houses, churches, aod give him teacbeis to educate his cbildreo, farmsh bim with agricultural implements to till the soilaud with donfestic cattle and seep, that be may prepare for him- aeif and family a certain subsisience when the buftaio shall cease toexiet on the Plains, We vow cease, and when you shall have stated your conipiaints of the past and your wishes for the fature we will again sp-ak and tell you the road in which we think you should go, Satanta, chief of the Kiowas, spoke as foilows:—The Commissioners have come from afar to listen to our oe My heart is glad and 1 shall Lide nothing rom you.

I want you to understand well what I say. Write fton paper and let the Great Father see it, and let me hear what he bastosay.

Mrnicevs Lovar Cree, Oct. 20, 1867, Sunday differs very little from any other day on the Plains. The early hours of the forenoon were occupied by the Commissioners in selecting a reservation for the Kiowa and Comanche tribes, and fixing upon the terms of & treaty to be submitted to them to-morrow. The treaty provides that hereafter perpetual peace shall be maintained between the people and government of the United States and the Indian parties hereto, and that the Indian parties hereto shall forever remain at Peace with each other and with ail other Indians who sustain friendly relations with the government of the United States. It also provides that fn caso hostile acts are committed by the people of the United States, or by the Indians on friendly terms with the United States, against the tribe or tribes or the individual members of the tribe or tribes who are parties to this treaty, such hostile acts shall not be redressed by a resort to arms, but that the party or parties aggrieved shall submit their complaints through their agent to the President of the United States, and thereupon an impartial arbitration shall be had under his direction, and the award thus made shall be bind- i ing, &e., &o, The Indiang agree on their part, in case crimes are committed by any of their trive, to deliver up the person or persons committing the same to persons duly author- ized, for punishment according to the laws of the United States, The reservation is embraced in that portion of country commencing at the northeast corner of New Mexico, thence south to the southeast coruer of the same, thence northwestwardly toa point on Main Red river, opposite the mouth of the north fork of said river; thence down said river to the ninety-eighth degree of west longitude; thence due norta on said meridian to the Cimarone rive thence up said river to a point where the same crosses the southern boundary of the State of Kansas; thence along said southern boundary of Kansas to the south west corner of said State, thence west to the place of beginuing. The Commission agrees, on the part of the government of the United States, to protect Indians in the possession of said country, and provides annuities, houses, milla, &c., for their civilization, expressed to them in the poe Senator Henderson this morning, which I pen the above are substantially the terms of the treaty which will bo explained to the two tribes above men- apa to-morrow, and signed by the chiefs and Commis- sioners, At eleven o’clock the Commission proceeded to the council grove to continue the pow-wow adjourned from yesterday, but found onty a corporal’s guard of Indians to meet them. While waiting tne arrival of the Indians, @ party of Osage Indians arrived and presented their credentials to the Commission. They present a diferent appearance from any Indians I have ever seen, wearing their hair cropped short, with a ridge on top, and some of them with turbans on their periecion ofthe art rod betog the. predominant calor n of ing the inant color. Reveral Harney, tar is familiar with the characteristics of all the tribes on the Plains, remarked as they wero sbaking hands with the Comm! ere, ‘that the Osage Indians were the damndest rascals in the country, and would never have come here but for the opportuaity of Fa soon Go De re ii made a few re- marks, which were interpretéd by a haif-oreed Indian who came with thom.

This summary proceeding, however, was not adopted, fag, kes the. proceedings of the: day were commenced ing, &c., the ings of ti y were comme! by Ten Bear, a Comanche chief, who said he was giad to see all the Commissioners and to meet them here this morning. His peopie never wrong the whites first, Whenever they have had trouble the whites com- menced it, It was so in Texas avd wherever else they had had troubles with the whites, The whites kilied them first. He did not hike the talk of butiding them houses and settling them on reservations; was born on the prairie and wanted to die there, When he was in Washington the Great Father promised never to take ir country from them. He hoped they would cy their going upon a reservation. His ing men not like it. He loved to carry outthe talk Wad with his Great Father in Washineton, When they received their annuity goods it made their hearts glaa, If they bad remained in Texas they might have stayed upoo a reservation, but this country was so small he did not like it, You have taken our best lands aud driven us out of Texas, and now we want to roam where we choose.

We propose fo make that home on the Red river and around the Wichita mouniaing, and we have prepared papers for that purpose, Tv.morrow morning, at nine o'clock, we want your chiefs and head men to meet us at our camp and sign the papers, At the close of Senator Henderson's remarks the Commission adjourned until to-morrow in order to give the Indians an opportunity of denanings remarks and deciding upon what they will do. the Kiowas and Comanches sign the treaty prepared for them in the morning, there will only be the Cheyennes, Arapaboes and Apaches to treat with, It ws almost certain that the Dalance of the Cheyennes will be in to-morrow, and that two days more will conclude all their business here.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TQ THE HERALD. Fight Between Tom Kelly, of Philadelphia, at Aquin Creek—Hotly Contested Mill—Four- teen Rounds Fought in Halfan Hour—Kelly Declared Victor by a Foul. Wasuixctox, Oct, 29, 1867, 12 o'Clock Midnight. ‘The prize fight to-day between Billy Parkinson and Tom Kelly, feather weights, at 112 Ibs., for $1,000 aside, attracted moch attention in sporting circles, as both the men had fought each other before, and bave exhibited no despicable skill and endurance. A large party of sporting men from New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore were in this city yesterday, and expected to leave at a late bour last night or carly this morning for the scene of the encounter, which, it was positively stated, would not be postponed. Notwithstanding the errible wind and rain storm prevailing efforts were made to secure a special steamer. The plan fell through, however, and it was then Proposed to change the ground to the Hunter farm, whero the Maller-Dillon fight was to have occurred. This was not agreed to by one of the princi- pals, and some dissension occurred, resulting in mi of the ontside parties leaving the affair in disgust, ex- as that no fight would occur. Finally, a few of the initiated parties, who always succeed in getting in at tho death, learned that the parties would go to Aquia creek on the mail boat leaving shortly after sunrise. At five o'clock, the principais, seconds, backers and a few inti- mate friends, started for the boat, where they found juite a large number already in waiting, The trip down the mver was voted to be a bore, as the bar was closed, and cigars were as scarce as The party reached the landing, sixty miles below Washington, about eleven o’clock, and the ring was pitched as. cebexty, as possibl as the skies, which were temporarily bright, threatenc: enother rain storm, Oyster Jack, of Philadeiphia, set the stakes and during the mill officiated as master of ceremonies.

Parkinson was trained on Staten Island by Dooney Harris and Young Edwards, and is an Englishman, about thirty- eight years of age, while his opponent claims New Brunswick as the place of his nativity, and chalks down his age as twenty-cizht, Parkinson has fought five or more battles in Albion, bat never shied his castor into arin this country except with Kelly.
