Washington, September 8 —Since the declaration of General Sheridan that no one would be allowed to visit the Black Hills country without authority from the Interior Department, meaning its author ized agents, that Department has been in receipt of a large number of letters ask ing permission to go there, and for ilio benefit of a large class the following let ter is made public; Department of the Interior, > Washington, Sept. 8, 1871. » Sir—I acknowledge tbe reeei t t of your letter of the 27th ult. referring to ations that are forming for tho invasion of that part of the Territoiy embracing the Black Hills, notwithstanding existing treaties with the Sioux Indians, uud re questing mi h suggestions for the guid ance and bene til of tho citizens of the Territory as may be considered appropri ate by the Department, and in reply would say : By the secou I article of tho treaty between the United States and dif ferent tribes of Sioux Indiaus, concluded April 29, 18(58, (Statutes, vol. 15, p. (53(5) the United States agrees that the follow ing district of country, to-wit, viz: mencing on the east bank of tbo Mis souri rivor where tbe forty-sixth parallel of north latitude crosses the same thence along the low water mark down said east bank to a point oppo site where the northern line of tho State of Nebraska strikes the river; thence west across said river and along the north ern line of Nebraska to the 104th degreo of longitude west from Greenwich; thence north on said meridian to a point where tho forly-sixth parallel of north lutitudo intercepts the same; thence duo oust along said parallel to the place of begin ning; and in addition thereto, all existing reservations on the east bank of said river shall be, and the same is set apart, for the alisoluto and undisturbed use and occupa tion of tbo Indians herein named, and for such other friendly tribeH or individ ual In 1 iians as from time to time tbey may be willing, with tbe consent of the United States, to mltuit amongst them ; and tho United States now solemnly agrees that no person * except those herein designa ted and authorized so to do, and except such officers, agents and employees of the Government as may be authorized to en ter upon Iudian reservations iu tbe dis charge of duties enjoined by law, shall ever be permitted to pass over, settle upon, or reside iu the Territory described iu this article, or in such territory as may be added to this reservation for the use of said Indiaus ; and henceforth they will, and do hereby, relinquish all claims or rights in and to any portion of the United Stutes or territories, except such as is em braced within the limits aforesaid, aud»ex- cept as hereinafter provided. The foregoing section proscribes who shall he si lowed to enter this territory so set apart for the Indiaus, and expressly states that none or hers shall be permitted to pa** over, settle upon or reside therein Tbo only power to alter this provision is that which made the treaty, and thou it must be done with the consout of the In dians. What is kuown as the late “ex ploring expedition” of General Custer was merely a military reconnoisance of the country for the purpose of ascertaining the best locution if in tbe future it should become necessary to establish there a mil itary post. On the 22d of Juno last, in a letter to this Department, the Honorable the Sec retary of War wrote on this subject as fol lows : “It is well kuown to the Department that at various times the settlers in the adja cent country have contemplated expedi tions to the Black Hills, and the Depart ment has uniformly discountenanced such movements. But it has now almost be come a military necessity that accurate knowledge should he possessed by the army as to this portion of our Territory, and for that purpose only is the present expedition taken.” The question of opening up this coun try to settlement rests with Congress, and until action has been taken by that body this Department has no discretion in tbe matter, but is required, and I will en deavor, to prevent any vi datiou of the provisions of the treaty lief ore men tioned. For the reasons herein set forth all ap plications for permission to visit the Black Hills couutry will ho denied. Very respectfully, your ob’t serv’t, B. B. Cowan, Acting Heo’y. To Gov, J. L. Pennington, Yankton, Dakota. Outrage* »t Mew Orleans—Kellogg's l*wllce Helming Private Property.

Memphis, September 11.—The company arrested at Pickettville by United States soldiers on the charge of complicity in tbe Trenton outrage, will not arrive here till this afternoon^ They will he taken before the United States Commissioner for examination. *Auother of tbe negroes taken from jail, and who escaped, is here, but nuder the advice of the Uuited States officials he aud hia companions refuse to communioate anything in re* gard to the affair beyond the fact that they escaped when tbe s*x men were shot near Trenton. • The Avalanche gives the following his tory of affairs in this section during the civil war: “ ThU region was over run by squads of guerrillas, claiming alle giance to both the Northern and Southern armies, but really nerving neither. One Col. Hawkins commanded a regiment of oderal marauders chiefly made up in the couuties adjacent to Gibson, and several parties of Southern adherents roamed over the region, both sides taking horaes and other property from citizens at will. Many deeds of blood were partici pated iu during this period. At the close of hoatilitios many of these disbanded guerrillas remained in the eounty, and for three years or more thero was a regular uuderstaudiug between them iu rauges of the couutry embracing Dyer, Gibson, Madison, Tipton and McNair eounties. Over tho whole ruuge of country from Mississippi to tho Tennessee river rapine, arson, robberies and murders were of a most daily occurrence. One Budd Evans, was the acknowledged leader of these lepredatory night hawk*, and a perfect reign of terror prevailed among tho most repcctable citizens. Gov. Brownlow' and administration w'ere the reigning authorities, but they were power less to stop bloodshed or cheek lawlessness. Men were torn from their shrieking wives and ohilen and were shot down and left by the roadside, often not being allowed to say a single prayer, and for no offence. NEBRASKA.

Tbo scioutifio world will receive with peculiar gratification the intelligence not only of the safety of the members of the Austrian Polar expedition, sent out some two years ago, but that the expedition has added suother valuable contribution to the map of the Arctic soas. At or near tbe eighty-third degree north lati tude, the highest point reachod by tho ex pedition, und north of Nova Zembla, a tract of laud was discovered which may prove to be, from further explorations, a large island or one of an extensive group of islauds, like that at the head of Baffin's Bay. It' so, then we may have the fact established that tho only possible pructi- ticable route for sailing vessel or steamer to the North Polo is the route of the Pa cific Equatorial current through Behring Strait. The full report of this returning Austrian expedition will, no doubt, large ly contribute to the settlement of this im portant question. Captain Had has shown that the difficulties of reaching the North Pole, against the strong out flowing aud ice-packed current of Baffin’s Bay and Davis’ Strait are perhaps insur mountable; aud now, if the route from Norway bo proved impracticable from a g roup of islands with narrow passages locked up with ico, Behring Strait going in with tho Pacific Equatorial current,may be the proper route for tho next Polar expedition, whether from Europe or America.—X. Y. lie raid. Washington, September 11.—Tho Sep tember returns of the Department of Ag riculture show a very heavy decline in the prospects of. the cotton crop in all the States except Virginia, where it about holds its own. The crop of Virginia, however, is too small to exereise any ap preciable influence on tho general result. The State averages are as follows: Vir ginia *98; North Caro.ina 87, a decline of 15 during August; South Carolina 8(5, a decline of 13; Georgia 77, a decline of 17, Florida 77, a deoline of 25; Alabama 81, a doclino of 9 ; Mississippi 75, a de cline of 14 ; Louisiana (52, a decline of 21 ; Texas (54, a decline of -41 ; Arkansas 47, a decline of 40 ; Tenuessoe 48, a do oline of 35. The leading cause of this decline is found in the prevalence over large sections of tbe cotton area of severe drought, accompanied by intense heat, In many localities hot winds have parched the crop—in ono or two cases destroying it within half an hour. Several counties report no rain for four or five mouths. In Many rases the top crops are entirely destroyed tho bolls having all fallen. The middle crops were also badly injured. In a few locali ties general rains have made fine crops, hut the number of these favored spots is very small. In the Atlantio cotton States cool nights and heavy rains are alleged in some couuties as the cause of the de cline. Tho drought has prevented tho in crease of insects depredating upon cotton. They aro reported in very fow counties and have been nowhere very injurous. A Fisherman Shoot* Another. j SHIP NEWS. New Yore, September 11.—Arrived: Tyler, Pembroke.
