img every day, and it becomes a very serious question whether at some time in the near future we may not be confronted by a dis- vstrous water famine, It is due to the pub- lic that the officials in charge should explain the cause of the scarcity and impurity of the water. It is better that we should know in time the exact situation of affairs and en- deavor to remedy present evils than to be called on at some future time to deal with those that may prove insurmountable. The Weath As the end of the summer draws near the changes in the meteorological conditions over the whole country become rapid and uncertain in their operation. The vast ex- panse of surface represented by the areas of the United States and British Amer- ica, with its variations of geological charac- ter and topography, presents a complicated Gicld for observation which necessitates the employment of an elaborate system, as per- fect in its organization as that of the Signal Service, in order to secure the most reliable information. As the season ad- vances the southwest will become. the region from which we may expect many storm centres to commence their transit over the United States. Of these several will originate in the tropical seas, and will be due to tho influence of the waves of cold air that will press from the northeastward on the atmosphere of the regions of perpetual summer heat, causing a disturbance of the atmospheric equilibrium and a consequent generation of cyclonic storms, It will be observed that in certain latitudes of the Onited States, embraced between the thirty- second and forty-second parallels, tornadoes of extraordinary violence occur during the summer. These destructive meteors are due to the same influences operating on a com- paratively ¢ small scale that combine to create the cyclones in the equatorial seas. But tho latter, having an uninter- rupted scope for their movements, do not exhaust themselves readily like the torna- does, which are frequently broken up by topographical obstructions to their progress. We draw the attention of our readers to this abject somewhat in advance of the period of change, although indications are not wanting of its near approach. Already the weather variations in the northern latitudes are becoming frequent, and the areas of low barometer descending, as it were, from the Northwest, follow each other with rapidity. Alternations of warm and cool weather aro becoming more marked, and we are called on to notice certain unmistakable signs of atmospheric disturbance in the Gulf, where the winds are becoming daily more variable. Cooler and clear weather may be looked for in New York during the next few days. Tue Accrpenr to the Pacific Mail steamer Colon seems to have been of a serious nature. Her machinery, which was manufactured in beotland, and, as it seems, imported under aspecial act of Congress, broke down and left her so perfectly helpless that she had to be towed back to this port--a distance of seven hundred and fifty miles. A flaw in the forging of the crank shaft caused the ac- cident. Two men were scalded to death by the displacement of the steam supply pipe from the throttle chamber, and these, fortu- nately, were the only casualties, It is possi- ble that as the flaw in the crank was too far beneath the surface to be seen there is no one to blame but the manufacturers ; but it will be difficult to comfort the friends of the poor men who lost their lives with this state- ment. .

CROOK RETURNING HOME. The Hostiles Gone North and South in Full Retreat. SHARP WORK EXPECTED ON THR YELLOWSTONE. Cmrcaco, August 26, 1876 Apecial to the Times from the Yellowstone expe- dition steamor Josephine, near the mouth of the Yellowstone, August 20, vis Bismarck, the 25thy says:— Bince the Junction of Generals Crook and Terry it !s oped that they will overtake and force o fight with tho Sioux The command moved west to the Big Horn Mountain, where, on the 14th inst, a trail four or five days old and two miles wide, being the heaviest ever seen op the prairies, was discovered, The trail finally separated and the Indians wore found to be in full retrent—one band heading north, toward the Britleh possessions, with the protable intention of crossing the line, and the other going south along the Little Missouri forthe purpose of crossing the Missouri River above Fort Berthold There ts every indication of the hostites being heavily reinforced by agency Indians They have their fami- | hes, and evidently intend remaining north this winter. The army has a difficult programme, and it will bo al- most miraculous tf our troops overtake the savages, | who are well mounted. Whon supplies are exhausted the soldiers will have to return to the supply camp. GOING INTO WINTER QUARTERS, Gencral Miles, commanding the Fifth tnfantry, re- turned to camp on the Rosebud on the 12th inst, and | is instructed to patrol the river north of Fort Buford and intercept any bands attempting to crocs the Yellowstone, moving north; also to construct winter quarters at the mouth of the Tongue River for one Tho steamers Far West and regiment of infantry, Josephine Carro!l and the Yellowstone bavo been plnced at his disposal, and supplies tor the command are being rapidiy shipped up the river trom Buford. Tho Far West and Carroll are to be employed in patrolling the river. General Miles’ command bas been reintorced by two companies of the Seventeenth 1in- fantry and other troops, giving a total of about 700 men. Goneral Terry’s supply camp has been moved to tho mouth of the Tongue River, asa base of supplies dur- ing the campaign. The steamers are well guarded, and the supply camp strongly defended. The garrison has throe Gatiing guns and several Rodman guns, and the steamer Josephine has onboard threo Gatling guns for the garrison, Sharp work may be expected on the south bank of the Yellowstone before the war ends, THR CAMPAIGN UNSUCCESSFUL. A later despatch, dated August 22, near the mouth of Powder River, says:— The practical failure of the campaign thus far mado has caused a change in the plan of operations, and the government will now continue war until the Indians are s:bdued and return to their reservations, It ts al- most assured that the scout now making by the com- Dined forces of Crook and Terry will be unsuccossful, and the troops will probably return to the mouth of Tonguo River on tho 25th inst. The command will then refit for another dash, which, it is hoped, will bo more successful. General Miles’ winter quarters will accommodate 1,400 men, and if the troops do pot bave a euccessinl engagement with the Indians before the 15th of September next that number will probably bo left on the Yellowstone for tho winter. Tho Fifth infantry, under General Miles, and the Fifth cavalry, ander Gencral Morritt, the two Oni giments in the servico, wiil remain in winter quarters, and it necessary additional numbers will be kept in quarters, Thus the campaign will be extended late in the scason and if necessary resumed early in the spring. Itis thought that sufficient sup- plies can be forwarded to the troops beforo winter sots in, The fall campaign will be full of hardships, but not #0 dangerous as another season's murderous work. There aro evidences of Indians along the Yellow- stone, and every precaution ts being taken to keep ad- vised of thetr movements, and a fight is not improba- bla The troops will occupy the quarters on Tongue River by September 20. CROOK RETURNING HOME, A stil) later despatch, dated August 23, via Bis- marek, eays Crook and Terry, after following tho trail discovered on the 10th, moved thirty miles down the Rosebud, The northern trail was abandoned on the 14th and the command pursued the southern trai!, crossed the Tongue River to Goose Creek, thence ro- turned to Powder River and followed it to its mouth, where they went into camp, and will remain until the 24th, The wagon train and all tne supplies at the mouth of Tongue River are boing shipped to the mouth of Powder River, and it is expected the wagon train will reach there to-morrow morning. The Indian trail diverged from tho east bank of Powder River, about twenty miles [rom its mouth, went south again toward the Little Misrourl, whence the command will fol. low speedily, The entire command is short of sup- plies, and unless otherwise ordered General Terry will march such troops as are not needed over to Fort Abraham Lincoln. General Crook’s command will scout toward the Black Hills, and via Fort Fetter. man home. Generals Crook and Terry both think it too late for an extended field of operations. The Inaians on the Southern trail are believed to be mor. ing toward tho agencies, and General Terry will, if possible, intercept them, The campaign is, therefore, Fractically closed, anless farther instructions come from the Lieutenant Genoral. ORANGE COUNTY TAXATION. Mippietow: .

Boorn’s Tuxatnx, August 25, 1876, To tux Eprron ov tuk Heratp:— Thero was the merit of manliness belonging to Mr, Calvert's letter roplying to the criticism of the New York Herat, on the production of “Sardanspalus,” that is missed inthe covert reply of yesterday. Mr, Calvert signed his name to his paper. He is possibly justified in bis expressed determination to treat “One who Knows’ with the contempt that always coupons anonymous communications, but wo givo the party Fecognition because of the importance he gained by the publication of bis tirade tn an influential news- paper, Mr. Calvert is our guest—a stranger dis- tinguished for echolarship and artistic ability, and who comes here fully indorsed by the Enghsh people. Tom Taylor, the dramatist, presiding ot a banquet given at the Queen's Hotel, Manchester, in nonor of Mr, Cal- vert and on the eve of his departure for America, was pleased to speak as follows of the eminent manager, referring to the honor his labors nad conierred upon tho stage:— All honor to those who, In spite of much ement, in the teeth of indifference, doubt, dis- belief and ridicule, have gone on cherishing her ‘holy fire oven upon the deserted, desecrated altar, holding up the sacred standard even when the battie seemed going most azainst them, and have been rewarded at last by seeing her worshippers again throng her templo, the victory at length inclining to the banner they have so bravely borne, Such a faith among the unfalthtul we honor, and true services in a good causo among all the temptations to treason wo | are here to recognize to-night, Manchoster has had no such practical and active art reador as this manager, who, in the course of the last ten years, has given us many courses of lectures, illus- trated by moving and spenking pictures on the arts and manners, the costumes, customs and architecture of ancient Egvpt, Greece and Rome, as well as tho ro- mante history of tho richer and lovelior worlis of mediwval Italy and England, drawn trom the annals of all these countries as condensed by the master of all eapeare—the historian who recalia to life all the personages of his story and croates when others are perforce content with narrating. In these days of edneational enthusiasm let as not tail to recognize the great educational service rendered in this ten years’ work by Mr. Calvert.

Layard laid bare the ruins of Konyunjik, the ancient Nineveh, The wonderful winged figures of bulls, men and fishes, wherewith the palace of Sepnacrit, Ninus aud Sardanapalus bad been decorated, were removed from the mounds of dust and rabbish, beneath which they had been hid den for centuries. They were shipped to Eugiand, where they attracted hundreds of thousands of per- sons to the British Museum to study their singuiar bat mons impressive forms Here Calvert made bis studios, ‘and from his sketches Telbin ard Hahn produced their superd scenery, and all tho armor, regalia, parapber- nalia were wrought In all our extended experience we have never been so weil salisied with any business venture as tho present offering, for beyond the pecuni- ary resulis that are crowning our enterprize, we feel that we are in a measure participants in the honor the production bas reflected on the Ameriean stago.

MR. «BRONSON HOWARDS TRIBUTE fO MR, CALVERT. To tax Evrron or rms Henao: Will you kindly permit me to tell what I know about Mr. Charles A. Calvert, without any refereuce to the merits of the recent production of ‘‘Sardanapalas” in New York. I have never scen that play ottacr in New York or Manchester, but | wish to say that tho con- temptuous personal allusions in the letter of “Ono Who Knows," in your issue of to-day, were evidently made in ignorance of Mr. Calvert's position in Great Britain, and of his character as a sincere dramatic scholar, I had the pleasure of passing a few days with Mr. Calvert at his beautiful.home in Manchester last | year, We spent many hours in looking over valuable iliustrated works, showing the costumes of various ages and countries, with accurate reproductions of heraldic devices on shields, arinor, banaers, pennons, kc. Among these works were numerous richly bound volumes, containing the original plates in water colors, made for Mr. Calvert by a distinguished artist of Londoa, for the production ot “Heury Vv." in Manchester, and afterward in Now York, There were other voltimes of siintlar piates, showing the cos tumes and scenic accessories of ancient Rome, for use | to me an In Mr. Caiverv’s then intended production of ‘Julius Cwsar.” My host showed the «tmost enthusiasm in diecuasing the work he had already accomplished and thas which was then before him, his ambition being measered, 20 lar as | could see, by the highest stand. ard of “artistic” excellence. He assured me that be had already made one journey to Rome with a scene artist of Lonuon, ony tended to make another betore produein ulin accuracy in the scenery they now exist, He #ls0 said that * Mu fis mind, ond that Ne intended to make is as cor- Feet io reference to its scene and time as the materials at bis disposal in the British Museam and elsewhere would pertoit, I was at Mr. Calvert's home not as @ journalist, but as a personsi friend, and this is the frst time I have ever mentioned my pleasant experiences there, except in private conyer- tation. Ido so now simply because | find what seems *t attack npon bis character as a scholar ure the person who bag orrected by “one in his profession, and Lam made that attack will be gla who knows’ tore of this particular subject, though Jess, undoubted!y, of many other thongs, than he does, Asto Mr. © Tt's having been a little provincial manager in England,” I can say only that Manchester ie a city of about inbabitants; “Prince's ts the best theatre in that ¢ Calvert's St 4 other reprodu been taken pool and the other Northern England and Southern Scot nothing of the reasons wh rt gave up the management of the Theatre, bat this do «now—when he retired from) Man- chester many most prominent publio ottice: themselves tho best c ata fa mentary specches expressed an appar sorrow at his “ly London nis provincial manager ts never heard of 1 t see that thie fit were a fact, need affoet on ‘ort in the slightest degree, if Managers ot Boston—Mr, Cheney and Mr. Field—are “never heard of” in New York, im exnetiy the same sense.
