A LETTER FROM. PROFESSOR JENNEY. Camp Croox, Buack Hinis, August 2, 1875, In conversation with General Crook your corre- spondent asked him his opinion of the Black Hills, formed from the brief observations which he had made The General responded that he was greatly pleased with tt On showing him some specimens of gold, im rather coarse flakes, he said:— ‘That evidently comes from a district which contains some profitable lodes of quartz, Such particles of gold are rarely found where the deposits in the quartz have been altogether exhausted. ‘The specimens examined had been gained very slowly Dy laborious washing ina pan half a mile above this creek, The General has been in every Western gold region in the United States and ts a competent practical Judge of the metallic promise of a country. In regard to the miners I asked:—‘Do you anticipate any attempt to evade the execution of your prociama- on on the part of the miners?” “No, sir; 1 donot, To remain in the Hills after the military are withdrawn would now be very dangerous, ‘There is nothing in the world to prevent the Minnecon- joux from sweeping down into these guiches at any ime and bunting down and butchering the miners at their teisure.”” “How do the bands that sometimes roam off from the ‘agencies on the plains behave now ?”” “Weil, they are quiet. A few Southern Cheyennes Steal cattle, but the Sioux are quiet,” “Do you perceive any immediate danger of an Indian wor?” “Not Jost now, There ia undoubtedly to be a great fight yet. The government has to whip the Sioux. The Sooner it is done the better.” ‘The General evidently would desire yothing better than to engage in such an undertaking. He subsequently ex- Prosged the opinion that the opening of the Black Hills will not be eo difficult an achievement; but if required to relinquists also the Big Horn country, a movement to- ward which the policy of the government seems tend- ‘mg, the united Sioux. nation will take up arms and fight for their honting grounds The Sioux are hanting beyond the mountains ‘m large numbers this summer, and, despite the resist- ‘ance of the Crows, whose title to the country 1s perfect, they mean solely to enjoy it The wily rulers of the Dakotahs understand the drift of the impending nego- ations, and that the next step attempted will be to de- prive them altogether of hunting lands and an ‘Simost independent political existenca Their strong refusal to listen to @ proposition to remove to ‘the Indian Territory indicates a spirit of arrogance Which once existed in the breasts of the Indian kings, ‘but # now rare among the remnants of the great Amer- fean race and which only battle ean tame, Gener Crook has given to Lieutenant Colonel Dodge Supervision of the movement for the expulsion of the miners from the Hills Captain Poltock, who will command two companies of cavalry and one of infantry detailed for the execution of the order, will go back te Fort Laramie with General Crook, who will start from Spring Creek to-morrow morning, and he will im- mediately return at the head of his force, reporting to Colonel Dodge Licutenant Morton, who went out on Priday on a topographical excursion to the head waters ‘of Rapid Creek, is instructed vo notify all miners whom be meets of General Crook's proclamation, Lieutenant Foster, who accompanied Dr. McGilly- @addy to the source of Spring Creek, bas a similar duty » LATRET GOLD PROSPECTS.

THE COMING POWWOW RELATIVE TO THE BLACK HILLS—SOME OF THE WILD’ INDIANS REFUSE TO TREAT FOR THEIR SURRENDER TO THD GOVERNMENT. Rev Croup Agency, Via Forr Laramie, W. T., August 19, 1875, The delegation of seventy Sioux Indians, with Louls Reishaw, interpreter, who left here four weeks ago to invite the northern or wild Indians near the Big Horn mountains to come in and join the council to negotiate for the cession of the Black Hills, have returned, Five bands of northern Indians numbering 1,900 lodges, or 13,000 people, were found camped on Tongue River, on the Big Horn Mountains, A council was held with the chiefs of those hostile bands, the Agallas, Unkapapas, Suns Ores or Nobows, Minneconjoux and Cheyennes, The object of the mission was explained to them, and several of the hostite chiefs made very violent speeches, The Mimmeconjoux, Nobows and Unkapapas refused to coma, They say that there is still some game north of the Yellowstone, and £0 long as game is found they will not relinquish any of their hunting grounds, They do not wish to make ag- gressive war upon the whites, but they want to be let alone, All the Cheyennes, however, and many of the Agallas, numbering about 1,500, finding that neafly all the game is gone are disposed to negotiate and are coming in, All the Cheyennes will be here within two weeks, They are nearly starving, and are eating their ponies. Agent Saville is sending out some beef cattle to mect them to relieve them to get in, The Agallas agreed to come when they had got game enough to last them on the journey, That may delay their arrival here a month longer. Their Chief sends word that he is willing to be guided by the views of Red Cloud ana Spotted Tail, Reishaw says there are more wild Indians in the North who have never treated with the government than there are friendly Indians in the bands pow at the agencies under Red Cloud aad Spotted Tail, PROFESSOR JENNEY'S LETTER.

Fortunately there is an abundance of water in both of these streams, with a good fall, and in most instances a rapid current, Spring Creek will yield from 300 to 1,000 miner's inches of water, ac- cording W the season, and Rapid Creek at least twice that amount, While the valuable placer deposits, as far 4s discovered, are by no means rich or very extensive, com with those of California, still there is enough of the precious metal to develop the country, and stock raising and agriculture will do the rest, Out among the foot bills, along the eastern slope of the Black Hills, are large gravel deposits, in some places thirty feet in thick- ‘ness, often cemented by lime into a hard ‘conglomer and capping the high hills of Jurassi sandstone and beds, fie decomposition of this conglomerate has in yielded the gold which it contains and which has Gee cone by heavy occasional rains down the dr; guiches, Here it caught and concentrated in the sand- wione of the red beds. The secondary deposits afford the only crevicing yet found in the hills, and may bo worked during th (ay months when there is water flowing out of the bills in nearly every stream, but in suramer scarcely ie stream carries ite water in an unbroken current tothe Cheyenne, They all, excopt grant Rapid Creek, sink in their bedg on Teaching the jl ener ae TER!

There's something said in the Bible about entertaining angels unawares, you know.—Hartford Post, INCENDIARISM, The recent fire at Bradford, Conn., is attributed to tramps, a number of whom have been perambulating about here. Several were seen near the barn destroyed a short time before the fire. : TUN CRIMES OF THY TRAMPS, {From the Alban Evening Journal.) From being a nuisaneg the tramps that are prowling about in all parts of the country have become robbers, burglars, desperadoes and murderers, Outrages of a most hemous character are committed almost daily bv these migratory miscreants, Farmers are watched, waylaid and robbed. Farmhouses are entered and plundered and other fearful crimes committed, There isa feeling of dread and insecurity throughout the community, especially in the rural and sparsely settled sections, A TRAMP IN A TIGHT PLACK. Last Saturday night the family living next the Meth. odist church, in Stratford, Conn., heard cries of distress in, that building, and an investigation was instituted. On their arrival they heard a strange notse as of somo one in great pain, bat on a thorough search through the building failed to discover any one therein. They wero completely mystified; the agonizing cries, which were growing fainter and fainter, seemed to be in their very midst; visions of “ghosts and goblins damned”’ revisiting this sublunary sphere flitved through their brains, their cheeks blanched and the bry took possession of their limbs, Finally some of the party bethought them- selves to make search outside the building, and thus discovered that the sounds proceeded from the ooid air flue of the furnace, Closer inspection revealed the fact that a man was inthe flue head downward, They at- tempted: to pull him out by the heels, but found him firmly wedged in, The flue was of zine, lls by 15 inches and shaped like a Z, and his shoulders. were wedged in the lower bend. Hastening to the inside of the church, they made a hole in the flue as near as pos- sible to his head, in order to give him air, That ac- complished, the flue had to be taken down and broken pen the entire length before he could be extricated, 0 proved to beatramp, but didn’t explain how be came there, Four desperadoes made an assault upon the wife of Thomas O’Hern, at his farmhouse in Paxton, Mass, near the Leicester line, on Sunday afternoon, about five o'clock, Mr, O’Horn was @ short distance from the house at work in his garden, and his wife was alone in the house with her miant child, The four men entered the house and demanded money of the lady, offering violence and threatening to kill herand ber child. Deputy Sheriff Drennan, of Worcester, has arrested one of the men, named Daniel Hunt, and the other three are known, A few days since a tramp called at the house of a lady in Hudson, N. Y., and begged for some food. The lady kindly asked him to enter, and set before him a good meal of wholesome food. ‘This he hastily despatched, and, turning toward her, he demanded money. at the same time threatening her that if it was not produced at once she should suffer the consequences. She told him to wait while she procured it up stairs ‘He followed her, however, up the stairs, She went to her bureau and in searching for the money the first object that attracted her atten- ‘tion was her husband’s loaded revolver, This she took up at once and fired at the man, who stood at that time close beside her. This shot, however, missed its mark and she then fired a second, which took effect, and he stumbled backwards down the stairs and effected his escape in the woods close by. The neighbors were soon aroused, but after scarching for along time could find no trace of him, ‘ A tramp who was refused cider by Josiah B. Corbin, of Cornwall, Conn., the other day, went vo a fine tobacco bed and ro! ed in if tearing up the plants, whereupon Mr. Cofvin set-his dog upon him, but the tramp whipped the dog and then pummelied Mr. Uorbin, who went to its assistance, after which he fled, and though Mr. Cor- bin pursued him several milos with a musket was not overtaken, TRAMTING IN NEW HAMPTON. R. J. Fifield, a farmer in the southern part of New Hampton, three miles from Hill, tells of an attack on his house by tramps on last Sunday night, substantially as follows :—Having retired in season, he was soon awakened by the rattling of the onteide door; this was soon re] ; and cautiously peering out of the window he saw & man crouching there, revolver in hand, watch- ing forthe opening ofthe door. Another person was seen ‘ by a tree, and still a third near by. Having no weapons, he managed by a entrance through the shed to get his wife and three children out of the house, and to a neighbor's, some half a mile dis- tant. Leaving thém there, he and a friend, with guns, went back, and after some dodging about they man- ‘aged to get into the shed, He asked what was wanted, and was answered by a volley of stones, After some mattouvritig the tramps left, Examining the house, it was found that during his absence they bad entered, took what food they wanted, his wallet, but it was empty, and some little change belonging to the chil- dren, It was evident that plunder was their object, CLOTHES STEALERS, [From the Taunton (Mase. ) Gazette} A curious case of abduction took place at Worcester on Monday afternoon, As little Peter Harper, ten years old, was playing in front of his futher's residence on Summer strect, a man drove up in a buggy and asked him if he would like to go to work, Peter suggested that his mother be consulted, whereupon the man jumped from the buggy, placed his hand over the little fellow’s mouth, and, lifting him into the buggy, drove on, stopping a few rods furtheron to take in an asso- ciate, @ men then drove to Davis’ woods, where they stripped the boy and left him stark naked in the middle of the woods, driving off with his clothes, The men do not appear to have abused the child, and what their object might have been is difficult to determing, MORE MASSACHUSETTS EXPERIENCE, oldie the Fitchburg (Mass. ) Sentinel.] Most of them at Fitchburg, Mass, a wide berth since a dozen of thom were sent to the House of Correction for afew months, but we hear of them in the smaller villages.

What the Mother of Presidents Can Con- tribute to the Great Love Feast. A FINANCIAL VIEW OF THE SITUATION, Interesting Relics of the Past Contained Within Her Borders, PHILADELPHIA’S RADICALISM Ricuxonp, Va,, August 16, 1875 Of Iate the importance of having Virginia properly Tepresented at the National Centennial is attracting great attention here from a business point of view. Of course it was already understood that the grand re- union and national love feast in 76 would be a culminae tion of the “era of good fecling” inaugurated at Lex- ington and Concord, at Mecklenburg and Bunker Hill; but now the Virginians are beginning to look at the Centennial from a financial point of view, and to calcn- late what can be made out of it As an evidence of this I copy the following from the Enquirer of this elty:— No State in the Union can make a better display at the approaching Centennial than Virginia if her people can only be to see the importance of having specimens of her jcultural products, minerals, mannfuctures and woods ex- hibited, ‘There will be thousarids of people from ‘forel lands at Philadelphia in 1870 who know Iittlo mere of the magnificent resources of the Old Dominion than conld be Jearned from Captain John Smith’s history of Virginia, and millions in the United States who know very little more, Ought we not, then, asm matter of business, in the interest of material development, if not from patriotism, to take the initiative at once to have our State occupy its right position among the Centennial exhibitors? A Western State, we observe, boasts that it will be able to bye sixty varieties of native wood from its forests, whereas, if we only try, we ought to be able to exhibit four times that number of Virginia forest growth, The subject, however, must be committed to gentlemen whose reputation is @ guarantee that they will have nothing whatever to do with jobs or rings in the matter, We suggest, upon the spur of the moment, Professor Mallett, of the University, and it, will be easy to find in our institutions of learning and elsewhere others. the same high character as scientists and citizens, Virginia, of course, cannot be properly represented on tha jon without &n appropriation by the Legislature, and he who would op] & moderate outlay for the purpose is in- deed penny d pound foolish. We will recur to the subject from time to time. HOW GOVERNOR KEMPER. STANDS, Tt was understood that Governor Kemper was not par- ticularly enthusiastic on the Centennial; that he was in- different as to the success of the scheme, or whether tho State was represented there or not, tho reason being that he was apprehensive the South would be received there coldly, and there would be an exhibition of “trea- fon made odious.” This, it is gratifying to state, is not the case, Governor Kemper is anxious to see a grand and appropriate display made of the power and resources of the State; but he feels embarrassed in pressing the matter on the Legislature, because Virginia is yet in ‘de- fault with a portion of the interest on her debt, and it is understood’ that the Governor thinks it would be unbe- coming in her toexpend money for this exhibition which really belongs to her creditors, Such a delicacy of feeling and anxiety for the interest of the bondhoid- ers of Virginia is certainly highly commendable on the part of the Executive of the State, But it is urged on the other hand that such an exhibition would be greatly for the advantage of the public creditors, for it would enhance the reputation and credit of the State, and by 4 VASTLY PROMOTING HER PROSPERITY render the payment of the debt much more easy and | certain, The argument is used that a smal! expenditure made in this way would attract capital, population and enterprise here, and thus at once dispose of the public debt question by so increasing prosperity as to render payment neither uncertain nor troublesome. Among other things it is proposed for one of the great tobacco manufacturers to exhibit the whole process of manufac- ture, from the natural leafto the perfect plug, which will be a sight to the unsophisticated. Such # man as James B. Pace, with a world-wide trade, sagacity and energy, could make one of the most interesting features of the exhibition fully as ouéré and curious as the Japanese village at Vienna He could take fifteen or twenty expert negro tobacco hands to the Centennial, with the necessary machinery, and astonish the world bya ay of mauufucture of Virginia’s greatest stap! ANOTHER CENTENNIAL ENTERPRISE, A Movement is now on foot to establish and exhibit a burean of Virginia minerals at Alexandria, Lynchburg or bien ng tn connection with the national: Centen- nisl To this may be added a collection of the woods and shrubs, of the grapes and cereals, of the products of the waters and , 60 that the fields, the forests, the waters and the mines may all show the boundless wealth they offer to the world. When it is known that every mietal, except silver, from gold to lead, is found in re- munerative deposite; when salt and plaster, iron and coal lie eide by side inexhaustiess quantities; the woods building, for architecture, for ornamentation, for fuel, and for use in every way are here, ‘The orna- mental woods for furnitare—the curled wainut, the birdseye maple, cherry, dogwood, yellow pine, Bass. fras and numerous others—otfer resources to the cabi- netmaker nowhere excelled, LABOR AND PRODUCTS. The products of labor in agriculture from cotton, tobacco, Wheat, corn, the grape, pear, apple, peach, plum, apricot, fig and all the small fruits are unex- celled, ‘The’ grapes in their variety and range are | surpassed nowhere, The rich grasses of the Southwest | graze their tock all the year round, the heavy natural | production of blue graeses on the mountain slopes | growing green until after Christmas, and afier that its abundant seed es the greatest quantity of food for flocks and herds. Added ww all these, a salubrions | climate, in which ploughing may be done during eleven months, and field and outdoor labor all the year round, and it will be seen what Virginia can exhibit at the | Centennial Labor is plentiful when there is money | to pay for ‘t, and althongh in the country domestic servants are rather second rate, they are far better than any accessible in the Northwest. With these the price of land is lower than im Kansas | and everywhere open to market by water or rail These great advantages which Mae enjoys, with its grow. ing feeling, ought to be made known at’ the Centennial ‘by a thorough collection of the product# of her forests, her fields, her mines and her waters—collected by the State and exhibited under the auspices of the Stata VIRGINIA’S TREASURKS AND JEWELS. Bat Virginia other treasures equally valua- Die as denoting her moral and intellectual resources, as proved by her products. The old estates and family seats are inexhaustible mines of historical riches. There are collected and preserved @ great number of memorials of Virginia’s greatest sons and their achieve- | ments. I can only now mention a few and these amon; was a miniature horseshoe of gold, richly set in pre- cious stones. One of them could be placed in the hie the most in- ‘teresting relic of the kind in existence, and it will, no doubt, if sent to Philadelphia, create a universal patriotic sensation, It isan original survey of lands for Lord Fairfax, — wil at a a ‘Bane reer san) Looe sonore 11 ears old.

They are the Konservative Karopaign Kiub, the most influential political organization in Virgin The kiub is famous for having carried Richmond in | every mupicipal election, with a supposed registered majority against them, and also for nye Bee to Petersburg and redeeming that city from bapetal effects of radical mismanagement, At their hage all , Kicked bin jm a bretal manner, inflicting internal in- Ing the comtng Centennial and to tel! oe een ‘to visit the next Centennial, which would heid either im Richmond or New York, the latter preferred on ac- count of the simple magnificence of its (centennial) pro- poruons, pan A'S RADICALISM, Before cloning this communication I must mention as & drawback on the Centennial feeling, that in truth tho political posivion Vom 9 ed by Philadelphia, for many years, and her radical radicalism, has been the web blanket over every effort toward enthusiastic participa- tion in the celebration to take place within her bound- aries, She has never exhibited toward the South any of the warmth of feeling that has been notable in New York business and politics, or in the demonstration in Boston, Inst June, and hence the cause of the utter indifference heretofore felt in ubis section in regard to the great National Exhibition. But it is hoped here that a more Hberal sentiment will in future pervade the councils of the Quaker City, and, at any rate, there is a growing de- sire to have a full exlibit made to the world of the bound- Jess resources of Virginia, in order wo demonstrate the in- ducements she offers to capital, to families who seek a home in a genial climate, among an enlightened people, and to houest labor which wishes to found and build up its own Lomes by its own sturdy arms, THE SOUTH AND THE CENTENNIAL, {From the Philadelphia Press.) In the Mobile Register waa published a few days ago a special appeal to the people of Alabama, Georgia, Missis- sippt, Louisiana and Tennessee, for aid in carrying out the Centennial scheme, and so weil drawn fs this docu- ment—put forth over the signatures of ex-Governor Robert M. Patton, of the Centennial Board of Finance, and Colonel Robert Tyler, Centennial Agent for the States named—that it cannot but produce the happlest practical effect throughout the South, while in the North it will go along way toward exciting that friend- ship for our late enemies which the celebration next Year Is destined to cement anew, and, we trust, for all time, ‘The appea} deals with the matter In hand fm an em!- nently practical manner, It is pointed out that on purely selfish grounds the South must take part in the “jumped” the track and became embedded in the The sudden shock caused great consternation among rs, but did no further injury. After a delay reached Hi some time the train was started and Point at a late hour, Mr. George Nostrand, who lives on the turnpike the High Bridge crossing of the Long Island Rail: Just outside the village limits of Jamaica, lost his and came near losing his life, by the hand of an diary, about nine o’ciock on Wednesday fire in the barn was discovered by a nei; family had retired for the night. Mr. Nostrand mad an effort to rescue @ valuable horse and cow from th flames; but, upon entering the bara, was overcome b; the dense smoke, and would have perished but fo timely aid, Mr, Nostrand’s loss is »<canated at about The trial of Treasurer John Y sn, of Long Islan City, which was expected to take place in the Cit; Court, before Judge Rearse, on Wednesday, was put o! for the term, tt being understood that District Atto! Downing would endeavor to have ft removed to Court of Oyer and Terminer. There appears to be doubt, however, as to whether the case will ever brought to trial, or, atleast, such a doubt ts very freely by the ‘knowing ones” The cases of indicted Uquor gellers were also put off for the term, if being shown that argument would be had at th General Term of the Supreme Court to determine whi of the existing boards of excise is lawfully constituted. Tho latest mishap on the Southern Raflroad, by which an engine was rainea and one or two cars wel rendered unfit for immediate service—although m fortunately no lives were lost—has apparently bad effect of arousing the company to the necessity of doin, line has also been extended and is in operation w terminus of the road at the Neptune House, wit! operators at each station. Within a few days the tele- graph service has been entirely reorganized, and ne’ and capable operators have beea put in she ol those who have been found incompetent or inattentive, With the reorganization of this important branch of thi company’s business a code of train signals has celebration, must bring her products to the Exhibition and must there display them to the best possible ad- vantaga It is not only her duty to do this, it is her interest, The Southern States, it is shown, aro as capable now as they were before the war of immense production, ‘Their exhaustless coal and iron beds, their, 80 to speak, magical cotton belt—a treasure held by them alone onthe Western Continent—their fertile corn, rice, sugar and tobacco flelds, and their unrivalled climate and soil,” all remain to them; but to make these again ‘folly productive new life and new capital are required, “Next to quict self- government, now attained by most of our States,”? it is said, “industrious and thrifty emigration ‘is confessed ‘to be the most pressing need of all others,’ and such emigration, it is believed, will bring with it or will attract the capital necessary ‘to make it profitably available. Should the South be illy represented at the Centennial Exhibition, it is urged, the conclusion will inevitably be forced upon the people of the North and upon the people of foreign lands that her power of pro: duction has come to an end. She will be shunned by the men whom she so much needs and whom she can so abun- dantly recompense, while the money upon which she can pay such magnificent interest will be diverted into other channels. This is plain common sense, which any- body can understand, and to which even the most ran- corous of our sometime enemies cannot with reason close his ears, But while thus eminently practical the appeal is characterized throughout by an honest, sturdy patriot- ism—a patriotism which overieaps sectional pride and is based upon a love for the whole country, The re- cent war is freely alluded to, and its effect upon the South as freely discussed; but in allusion and discus- sion it is treated as a matter dead and gone. Although not in so many words, certainly in spirit, the rational view is advanced:—‘‘We took up arms to settle a question which could not be settled peaceably; now that the fight is over let us regard the settlement as final, and again heartily unite with the end single of our common good,” This is the view which every sen- sible man now takes of the situation. and which the best men among us—North as well as South—are endeavor- ing by every means in their power to foster. The Cen- tennial celebration, the appeal praperly declares, offers a most fitting opportunity for North and South to come together and honorably annul their enmity, turning their backs upon the evil past and setting their faces toward the prosperous future. Surely our brothers of the South will not allow this wise counsel to go unheeded. We are but a single peo- pls, bone of bone and flesh of flesh; and all the rave blood shed in the sad battles of the past has not been sufficient to wash out the love which we bear each toward the other, Here, on the threshold of the second century of our national existence, let us again strike hands, pledging ourselves that not only throughout the incoming epoch, but for all future time, we will be to each other stanch and true; that shoulder to shoulder through the uprising years we will press onward, highly resolved to place the great Atoerican Republic first in liberty, strength and material wealth among the nations of the earth, NEW YORK CITY.
