CHEYENNE, May 13, 1875. It has been constantly reported, and on reliable authority, that there are still quite large numbers of white men within the precincts of the Black Hills, in spite of the watcuiulness of tue mill- tary and the efforts to prevent the ingress of uplawiul invacers, It has been asserted that one huudred miners are there at this mo- ment, engaged in ;rospecting along the valleys between tue mountains for the precious yellow metal. Tuere is probably exaggeration is tnis story; but the Indians firmly believe that there are many white intruders on their lanas, ana Red vloud declared with great emphasis, while here, that be knew such to be the fact. Al- though he sent instructions back to his “young men’ to remain peaceadle aur- ing his absence, it was plainiy seen in bis manner that he even resented the sending of the government expedition to We Hills beture he had seen the Great Father. The braves who are left at home on tue White Earth River, and among whom the younger spirits predominate, are .ar more likely to be led by their native thirst of battle than by Red Cloud’s commands and coun- set; and their knowledge that whites aro in tne Black Hills may incite them to sanguinary deeds. The Minneconjoux, too, who | are hanging on the northeastern margin of the mining country, and who are totally uorepre- sented im the negotiations to be opened at Wash- ington, and have, tnerefore, no fear for the saiety of hostages, are said to be in @ bad and dangerous temper, anu ready for almost any desperate sally alter scalps, It is not believed by persons who may properly pretend to jndge of the pros- pect, that this summer wil pass without some tragical episodes in Dakota.

Omaga, Neb., May 17, 1375. Considerable inquiry has beea made in this lo~ cality, from people in the Bast, in regard (0 the ravages of grasslioppers tiis spring and the pros pects for crops of any kind, It 1s well koown ail over the world that Ne braska suffered severely fromthe ravages of this TaVenous insect last season, and although consid erable small grain was raised, no corn of aay con- Sequence was gathered. The failure of the corn crop should mot be entirely attributed to the appearanee of the grass | hoppers, jor a long continued drougnt made the prospect very poor, and the grasshoppert merely Goished what the drought ¢ mmenced. The grasshoppers entered the State irom Kansas and Colorado, crossing the Repudlican Valley to tne southwest, They crossed the State northeasterly, | passing into Dakota, lowa and Minnesota. Walle | the entire western portion of Nebraska wat | devastated, the east and especially the souta | eastern portion was aimost entirely unharmed, | Asearly as the litter partof February vagog | reports were made concerning the reappearance of the insect, but not unti iately was the fact of | their reappeatance demonstrated, A gentleman | in Saline county, excavating for a butiding, dug | up what proved to be the deposited eggs of myriads of tne: reavures. He published bis dis coverles, whereat tuere went up Irum the local | press here a howlof indignation and aiarm that’ | immigration would be stopped and the growth of | our State retarded, | Since this fret discovery of eggs deposited in | Nebraska soll [have paid particalat attention te | the subjece and have gathered iniormation that may be relied upou us eminentiy correct. The | grasshoppers disappeared last year upon the bor. | ders of Nemanha and Richardson counties—two ot the most populous and productive counties in the | State. A few weeks ago, inmediately alter the small grain had beea planted, millions of gay and | frisky young locusts made their appearance, and, | without delay or hesitation, commenced an attacs | upon the newly sprouted grain, They appeared | to be as enterprising as their forefathers last | | | year, for they soon devoured all the wheat and cats that appeared above the surface, and them | jeit for “new fields and pastures green.” Thera | Was nothing else at that time for them to devour, lam bappy to observe, however, that the flelds of wheat, though completely shorn of their greem covering & couple Of weeks ago, are rapidly being recovered, the wheat sprouting up again and ape parently promising to stand fully as thick as bee fore it was attacked. If this should generally occur throughout other localities In the Stave it willsave the farmers much labor and expense, | Many of the farmers in the two counties named were preparing to plough up toelr fields and re- | sow, after the departure of the insects; but sa | encouragingly have the ficlds recuperated that it | 18 believed the crop Will be fully as good as witn replanting. 1 hear of swarms of these newly hatched peste taking up their line’of marca from their breeding | places in the southeastern couaties of this State in a southeasterly direction, and they will proba~ bly call and vistt their friends in Missouri, Arkan~ sas and Texas before they close their summer work. We have also heard of the reappearance of these insects in the Western portions of the State, and especially in the Kepuolican Valley, Which, though having the appearance of a * Valley of tne Lora,” | bas suffered almost ratnousiy during the last three seasons. Settlers in Harlan aod Franklim | counties, in this valley, however, claim that they | have not yet been annoyed with them, | A gentieman who has travelled extensively over | the State during the past few months, and wna | bas made careiul inquiries and observations, | thas writes im regard to the subject:—“As we have already admitted, it is undeniable that the locusts may do more or jess damage vo the small | grain, But, as yet, tne littie pests are conffnea to a small portion of the State, prinsipally along the | Missouri River, with possibly a lew oa the Repube | Mean, aud rarely any elsewhere. Inaeed, friends from Franklin 2nd Hariao coanties, on the Repubds | lican, where the season 1s about as far advanced as anywhere in the State, report few or no iocusis | in that region. A’ few are reported im Fairmont ana Sutton (Filimore and Clay coun | ties), but elsewhere alonz the great divide be | tween the Platte and Republican none appean There are few, ii any, along tae Platte. Thus far, atleast, the developments are not alarming eens erally, and the probabiitties are that most localt. | thes wiil escape altogeiner, and taat all may avoid | serious damage by a little effort and combined | Jorethought, especially if exerted at the rignt | time. The weather has been quite cool, which | may be the most fortunate thing that could have | happened to tne farmer, as it bas prevented the | hatching of myriads of locust eggs deposiced last | fall. Many of! the farmers bi not yet finished putting im their small grain, whiie very few havé planted any cora at all. While there is some alarm about the reappear ance of these pests and tne probable result oSf their return, tnere 18 a nopefai feellag among the | farmers and settlers and a belief that all will bak | well this season. In case we have anything nearly, as frightial a visitation we bad last year thaw present and ‘uture of Nebraska will be a matter of the deepest concern. . st Ihave before me some carefully corrected reuv- ports irom the most important agricuita counties in the State in regurd to the amount of, grain sowed and the prospects.

From pros 7 | the reports are generally that irom 25 to 30 cent more smali grain has been sown than mag last year, and that ‘rom 20 to 25 per cent m corn will be planted.
