On the morning of the s0th of August the com- mand under General Miles encountered between 400 and 500 Cheyennes, cight miles north of the Red River, in Texas, five hours’ duration the Indians were driven from their strongholds and fled across a rugged country, @ distance of thirteen miles, to the Staked Plains, ‘whither it is the intention of General Miles to pur- | sue them. ‘The command displayed great bravery, as also did the Indians, The loss of the troops was but ‘wounded and one injured slightly. has done wellin this achievement, the Indians will not exceed twenty or twenty-five killed and wounded, Hostile Bands of Indians Converging To- ward the Head Waters of the Red River—Movements of the Federal Troops. two badly General Miles WASHINGTON, Sept. 8, 1874, The following letter was received at the Head- quarters of the Army to-day :— GENERAL SHERIDAN’S REPORT, HmADQUARTERS MILITARY D1ViSION OF THR pas MussouRt, Chicago, Sept. 5, 1874, . T. SHERMAN, Commanding Unit e latest news from the column operating in the Indian country is as 1ollows:— Boeue: Colonel MackenZie’s regiment left Fort Coucho for his supply camp on the Salt lork of the Brazos | August 22, from whence he will operate on the tributaries of the Red River. Major Buell’a col- umn was to have started from Fort Richardson about the same time for the same destination, with bis headquarters on the Red River. MILES’ EXPED;TION. Colonel Miles’ column, when last heard from, wagon the Dry Fork of the Wichita, Just south- ‘weat of the Antelope Hills, Some of his scouting parties had encountered small bands of Indians ‘upon two occasions, in which allrays one Indian waa killed and one wounded. All the Indian trails led southwest to the head- Waters of the Red River, in whicn direction Colonel Miles wili continue his march. The In- dians are burning the grass to some extent in his froat. Major Price came down the main Canadian from Fort Union and will probably join Colonel Miles. COLONEL DAVIDSON’S COLUMN had not yet marched from Fort Sill on account of some trouble at the Wichita Agency, and it is pos- sible it may not on account o! the necessity of keeping the hostile Indians away irom the agency. However, General Augur is now at Fort Sill and. will be best able to determine whether it should 0 out or not. The hostile Indians, with their families, are, from the best information, somewhere on the headwaters of the Red River. All the columns sbove mentioned were made strong enough to operate separately. T hope to hear very soon of good results and a speedy settlement of the Indian troubles in the | Southwest; but still we may not be able to get | through bejore winter. Yours truly, P. W.

Since the declaration of General Sheridan, that 20 one would he allowed to visit the Black Hills country without authority from the Interior De- partment (meaning its autborizea agents), that department has been in receipt of a large rumber of letters asking permission to go there, and, tor tne benefit of a large class, the following letter is made public:— DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, } WASHINGTON, Sept. 8, 1874.

The only power to alter this provision 1s that which made the treaty, and then it must be done with the consent of the Indians. What is known as the late exploring expedition of General Custer was merely a military recon- noissance of the country for the purpose of ascer- taining the best location, if in the future it should become necessary to establish there a military post. On the 22d of June last, in a letter to this de- partment, the Honorable the Secretary of War ‘wrote on this subject as follows :— “Tt ia well known to the department, that at various times the settlers in the adjacent country have contemplated expeditions to the iis, and the department has uniiormly discountenanced such moveme but it has now almost become @ military necessity that ac- curate knowledge should be possessed by the Army, as to this portion of our territory, and for that purpose only is Poereacear expedition undertaken. The question of opening up this country to settlement rests with Congress, and until action has been taken by that body, this Department has no discretion in the matter, but 4s required, and will endeavor to prevent any violation of the provisions of the treaty before mentioned.” For the reasons herein set forth, all applica- tions for permissions to visit the Black Hills coun- try will be denied.

LIBERAL REPUBLICAN CONVENTION | Preliminary Efforts of the Democrats to | Bring About a Coalition. HOSTILE FEELINGS OF THE LIBERALS. Serenade to and Significant Speech from Senator Fenton. Ticket To Be Nominated—The Promi- nent Delegates Present. ALBANY, Sept. 8, 1874. Everything 1s ‘at sea’’ concerning the Liberal Convention which 18 called to assemble here to- morrow. No one knows—not even the high | priests—what course will be pursued, whether a | straight out full ticket or a part of a ticket wili be nominated, or whether it shall be a simple ‘plat- form of principles, with instructions to their State committee to select from the democratic and republican tickets, aiter they shall have been made, such candidates as Itberals may vote for and support, As early as yesterday there were here and in consultation, on the part of the gemocracy, Senators Lord and Johnson, ex-Lieutenant Gover- nor Allen 0. Beach, Smith M. Weed, of Clinton, and Joseph Warren, Secretary of the Democratic State Committee, and on the part of the liberals United States Senator Fenton, General Merritt, of St. Lawrence county, and Dr. John Swinburne, of this city, These, as representatives of the ‘‘high contracting parties,” have had quite a number of consultations; but no determination has been reached, the liberals declining to commit them- selves until others of their leaders reach the city this evening or until the rank and file of the dele- gates make their appearance, THE DEMOCRATS are not disposed to picdge themselves to placing on their tickes any man known alstinc- tively as a@ liberal. They say it is their intention to adopt @ platform, and see it carried out, so broad that every opponent to the republican party can stand upon ut. This they regard as being sufficient, if the lib- erals are fighting for principles, and that it will be a full and complete recognition of their organi- zation. The liberals here think this will be Insufficient. | They point to the iact that last year 1t was their votes which elected whut democrats were chosen ; and they Claim that they will cast even a larger | voue this fall, They say they have perfected organizations ina large number of sections of the dtate where they nad none last year; that votes will be cast where none were then; that in New York city they will divide, almost equally, the vote of the republicans, and that it will not satisty their | people to have them recognized in a mere declara- | lion Of principies, so olten Dot only empty, but “made to the ear to be broken to the hope.” ‘The rank and file of the liberals here are more outspoken as to what the democrats must do to secure their support, and the indications are that unless what they ask is done they will have noth- ‘ng further to de with the movement and may go . over bouily to the republicans. They demand | representation on the ticket, and not only that, but pledges that there will be a division of offices. Without tnis,1 repeat, they will take no part in the coming campaign, unless it be to silently vote the republican ticket. ARRIVAL OF DELEGATES, About 100 liberal delegates arrived here this evening. They are generaliy very bostiie to the democrats, claiming that that party endeavored to entrap them into sending delegates to the Demo- cratic State Convention, and thus absorb the liberals ft possible. The Liberal State General Committee will meet iu the Delavan couse at nine o'clock to-morrow morning, and the General Con- | vention at Tweddle Hali at noon. It ig conceded to-nigut that Lemon Thompson, of Albany, will be temporary chairman and Colonel | Charles Hughes permanent chairman of the Con- vention. No ticket will oe nominated, but a broad platiorm adopted, which will, tt 1s thought, entice democrats, a8 weil as republicans. to joim the luperal ranks, An adjournment will follow until after the meeting of the democratic and repub- lican conventions, when 11 is possible the siate Committee will call the delegates together, and, if desirable, nominate an eDtire liberal tick At) the meeting of the democratic committee at Saratoga A SECRET COMMITTEE OF FIVE was appointed, consisting of Allen J. Beach, J. Wesley smith, of Aivany, and three otners, vo con- Jer with 6 like committee trom the liberals as to a State ticket, Tnis committee have been actively at work with the liberal delegates this evening, endeavoring to agree upon some plan tor a coali- tion, but without success thus far. THE DELEGATES are an active, intelligent body of representative men of the State. They stated tothe democratic committee to-night that what their party desires is honest and capable men for candidates and a tull recognition of their strength as a party. They intend to support only deserving men for office, and if it,is not deemed advisable at a later day to nominate an entire State ticket, they will go back to their several localities, make nominations for the Assembly and local offices, and cast their ballots tor the best man. Governor Fenton, Gen- erals Merritt and Cochrane, Dr. Swinburne and other leaders are very hopeiul to-night, and appa- rently well pleased with the personnel of the ar- riving delegates.

Along the backstretch he still further increased his lead three lengths, but just before reaching the hait the filly closed up a trifle, so that only two lengths separated them at the half- mile pole, which Killarney did in 1:20. Coming up the hill he again increased his lead to three lengths, the filly making a slight skip, so that tour lengths separated them at the three-quarter pole, Entering tne stretch she filly closed up somewhat, Murphy leteing tye colt jog home the winner by & length in 2:44.

As early as two o’clock the Battery wall was lined with @ dense crowd of spectators, the majority of them betng First ward- | ers, who in most cases were laying heavy odds that the New street men would win. The race was jor the championship of the Police Department and a handsome club and baton, with silver inscription recording the date of the race; and the course was to be rowed in four-oared working boats around Bedloe’s Island and return, @ distance of five miles.

Ata little before three o’ciock the uptown crew arrived in the steamer William Fletcher, oringt Dj their boat, the Farragut, which they entered an paddled to the stakeboat, moored off the Battery wali, at about 100 yards from the bath house. In the stakeboat were Mr. James Lee. referee, Roundsman F. Gilbert, of the First precinct, and Mr. John Ranson, of Harlem, who acted as judges. A few minutes afterwards the Battery boys, dressed in red, were seea, paliey in the Rebecca from the bath nouse, through a flotilla of small boats, to the stakeboat, and, amid deafening cheering, both crews rested on their oars awaiting the word | “go. | THE START. Both crews looked in excellent trim.

Among them were the police cutter Seneca, the George Birk- | beck, With a serried crowd on the be 4 of the ptiot | house; the Jamés A, Stevens, the Seth Low, the A.

The excitement was very great, the victory of the down town boat being considered certain. After several minutes, during which a ood deal of betting Was done, the contesting boats were | seen pulling out from the lee of Bedloe’s Island, | the First precinct boat still leading. At this point in the race Coxwain Coady, of the First precinct boat, was seen to be taking & diverging course to keep under the lee of Ellis’ Island, for the purpose. of avoiding the full force of the ebb tide, Coady thus gained more ground, but after this his crew orden somewhat exhausted, pulling somewhat languidly.
