Alcorrespoudent of the Omaha He publican, says : Mr. Hitchcock, in an hour'sspeech, reviewed the situation, touching upon some matters personal to himself, and I can assure you that he not only strengthened the republican cause, but by his frankness, candor and clearness put to flight the prejudices existing here against him by reason of the uuceasing attacks of tho Omaha Bee.

Surrender of a Large Force of Hos-tiles-The lVar Virtually Ended. Bismarck, D. T., Nov.4. From the latest intelligence from the Yellow stone country, which is official, it is evident that the Indian question is virtually settled. Lieutenant T. F.

On the 20th scouts reported the Indians in sight. Miles pushed forward and was met by a number of hostiles with a white flag. A short talk was had. Sitting Bull said he did not want fight. Gen. Miles informed him that he was up in that country for that purpose, and that they must fight or come into the post at Tongue Elver. Sitting Bull finally promised to do so next day, but General Miles having no confi dence in Mr. Bulla's promise at day light next morning started .with his command and marched forward, and when within three miles of Sitting Bull's camp and in plain view of the Indians saw a number of them com ing toward him with a white flag and intimating that they desired another council. General Miles, after form ing his troops in a manner to frus trate any plans of strategy on the part of the Indians, advauced toward the party with a flag, aud a council was held midway between the two forces. Sitting Bull reiterated his former plea that they did not want to fight, aud was inclined to come in. At this juncture Pretty Bear rose up aud informed General Miles that Sit ting Bull was his boldier, aud when he said for him to fight he must fight. He then said that they would come in next morning. General Miles told them that in order to insure this they must deliver over to him, as hostages, four of fiveof their chief?. Sitting Bull sanctioned this, nut Pretty Bear refused, and Sitting Bull strolled leisurely off, and thus the council ended. The chiefs returned, aud Gen eral Miles ordered the troops to move forward. When they reached to within half a milo of the camp the Indians opened fire, which was re turned by the troops, and the fight continued throughout the day, with the result given in your conespoud ent's telegram of a few days ago.

The following resolutions were pass ed by the convention of Governors, held at Omaha on the 25lh ult. : Itesolved, That we deem it the duty of the national government to make some effort to destroy or counteract this great pest and thus prevent its iujuiies. Itesolved, That we believe the first step in this matter should be a thor ough investigation of I'.m history and haunts of this insect in its native haunts as well as in the sections visit ed by it. Resolved, That we believe this can be accomplished iu the (shortest time, at tho least expense and most effectu ally by attaching a special coinmls bioncr lor this purpose, to oue of the government surveys sent out annual ly to the west; and, therefore, we sug gest that the following be added to that clause of the sundry civil appro priation bill, making an appropria tion for tlie geological and geograph ical survey of the territories. "And alr-o the further sum of twenty-five thousand dollars for tho purpose of paying the salaries and expeuues of a commission f hruo tr.,t(z and two western men who have had ex perience with the locusts to be ap pointed by theohiefofsaidsurvey,with the consent and approval of tho sec retary of the interior. It shall be the duty of said commissioners to exam ine into the history and habit of the said locust, and make report thereon, and also suggest such means of des troying them or remedies against them as- their investigations shall prove most practicable.' Itesolved, That the president of the conference be requested to draw up and present to the president of the Uuited States, a letter setting forth the urgent necessity of some action on the part of the general government in behalf of the sections ravaged, in ref orence to the inva-iions of and des truction occasioned by the grasshop per.". Resolved, That each of the govern ors of the following states and territo ries, to-wit: Minnesota, Illinois, Io wa, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Col rado, Wyoming, Dakota and Idaho, be requested to make and transmit to their respective delegations a record of these proceedings, requesting them to urge upon Congress speedy notion in this matter iu accordance with the recommendations of this conference. Resolved, That the governors of each state and territory be advised to ap point a commission of one or more competent persons whose duties shall be to vi-iit the towns and counties of each state and report the facts and ob servations to the governors, and also to organize each county and prpcinct in such manner as may be deemed ex pedient, aud also to appoint in said counties and precincts suitable per sons to receive and distribute such documents and pamphlets containing general information and means of de- fense as will be provided by this con ference, and to report such organiza tions and mimes of committees to the respective governors. Resolved, That iu ouropinion it will be wie and politic for the legislatures of each of the states and territories most deeply interested iu the locust question to enact a state bounty law, ottering a bounty for the collection and destruction of the eggs, and lor the destruction of the uniledged in sects. Resolved, further, That we recom mend to the several legislatures that they authorize local taxation for the purpose of systematized effort in the way of ditching, burning, etc., as the Iceal autorities may deem necessary or desirable. We further invoke our legislatures to adopt such practical measures as have proved eflicacious, aud such as further experience may suggest, including the repeal of the existing game laws, or such modifica tion of them as will prevent the de struction of birds which feed upon the insects; the prevention of prairie fire until a suitable time fur the des truction of the young grasshoppers by firing the grass; the encouragement of tree culturefor promoting moisture and harboring birds, and such other mpans as may promote the great end desired.

After one of the most extended droughts ever known iu this heetion of the country reaching over a pe riod of eighty-five days, from Aug. 9 to Nov. 2 the flood-gates of heaven opened shortly after midnight of Wednesday, and the welcome rain de scended to the thirsty earth in copious aud refreshing showers. The per formance opened at 1 o'clock in brisk style, although ten miuutes before that hour the heavens were clear and star lit, and gave no more promising evid ence of rain than has been seen there for nearly three months. For a half an hour tho raiu contin ued its vigorous and beneficent ser vice, and then easing off, there was a lull until nearly 3 o'clock, when, with a rise in the wind, the rain came up again, and then for more than half an hour the floods fell and the winds blew with a savage ferocity that seem ed to indicate a purpose to make up for lost time. Suffice it to say that the dry spell has ended at;last, and that thousands who have long suffered for want of water are now happy. The total rain fall was one inch and three-tenths evidence that while the deluge lasted it waa one of the most Tiolent on re record. The drought just ended was almost unexampled in its duration. The dry spell of 1S74, occuring at about the same time of tho year, lasted seventy-one days or fourteen days less than the duration of that of IS76. iV. 0. Times, Nov. 4. Judge Redick. Santa Fe New Mexican, Oct. 16. The Uuited Stales court for the secoud judicial district, as also the dis trict court for Bernalillo county, will close their September and October terms, respectively, to-morrow. There was a heavy docket, but such has been the promptitude with which business has been dispatched under the new regime, that the petit jury was enabled to be discharged on Wednesday. Hon. John I. Redick, the lately ap pointed United States Judge for this district, and who has presided in his district for the first time, has won en comiums from all sorts of people, ex cept criminals, aud his knowledge of the law, and the justness of his rul ings and decisions elicit even their ap proval. I have yet to hear any mem ber of the bar or officer of the court speak disparagingly of the Judge, but on the contrary, all unite in commen dation of his legal ability, the thor oughness with which lie examines dif ficult questions, his fairness and con scientiousness and the clearness of his instructions to the juries. All agree in hoping that Judge Rediek may long remain upon the bench of the district; should he do so. we heve the assur ance that justice will retain her sway, litigants be promptly heard and crira nals not go unpunished. A Slaughter of 320,000 Bulgarians. The Cologne Gazette observes that Bulgaria hat on seVeiul ouutisions fig uieil in history us the scene of "at rocities" no less horrible thun those lately committed by die BaHlii-iiazo-ukd. The Greek Emperor Bailios II was niukt.amed "Btiltjuroktoiiod," because lie ordered 15.0U0 Bulgarian prisoneis to have their eyes put out, a levy unly being left with one in order t hut they might guide their feliow prisouerd back to theii homes. Even more atrocious was the massacre of (be Gothic settlers in Bulgaria. The much-praised Emperor Ciaudus II gives the following account of thin massacre in a letter cited by the his torian Trebellious i'ollio: "Claudius to Brocehus: We have destroyed 320, 000 Goths, and sunk 2,000 ships. The rivers are covered with shields, their banks wilh spears nnd pikcSirft4--rl fields with hones : no rmul ia rr- fm.. uiood ; the huge barricade of wagons is deserted : and we have cap tured so many women that each of our conquaring soldiers can take two or three for his share." A Cool Fugitive. The Paris Temps relates how a lady traveling alone in a first-class railway compartment in France, was surprised by the sudden entrance of a man as the train began moving. lie fiuug a parcel on the seat, sprang upon her before she could shriek, and whis pered : "Not a word, or you are dead. Take these scissors and quickly out my hair short." Hekueltdown close before her, and she tremblingty obeyed. When it was done lie arose and said: "Now, madame, look out of that window ; you will soon he free." The terrified lady atrain obeyed, but discovered by side glances that he had taken priests' robes out of the parcel atid was putting them on. Just then the speed of the train began to slaek en ; the daring intruder, utterly transformed, bowed haughtily, anil before the ears stopped jumped nimb ly from the train and disappeared.
