Last night Capt Hudrick with a squad of 30 police, succeeded by persistent ef forts in dispersing the rioters. At noon to-day, it is impossible to purchase a revolver. The stock is exhausted. Colored Democrats, assured of white protection, held another meeting to night. No attempt was made to dis. turb the meeting; the rioters confining their operations to roaming the streets in turbulent crowds, Firing pistols and muskets. No serious collisions have occurred to-night, though armed crowds of whites and blacks are gath ered at various points. The city con tinues excited. - Buekner, one of the wounded whites is dead. All night Colored militia and white clubs remained at their places of ren deyous under arms ; but the night wore away without any serious collis ion. A party of passing blacks fired into the armory windows of the Mont gomery Guards; the fire was returned, wounding one of the blacks. Except ing this and one or two other minor disturbances, the streets were quiet after midnight. But the public feel ing continues one of deep uneasiness. The blacks talk of -having a torch light procession to-night.

NEW YORK. News from Tef ry--No Indians Ytt Troops likely to Encamp before In . dians ,ire Overtaken. - - ; New Yoek, Sept 8 A despatch dated Terry's Camp, on Deer Creek, August 30th via Bismarck, Dakota Territory, Sept 61876, eays: ' Gen. Terry's com mand, after crossing the Yellow Stone on the afternoon of the 27th, made a short halt on the north bank, and then marched in a northerly direction about six miles by the light of the moon, making day camp about C o'clock Next morning the - marching was re- snmed, the general direction of the day's inarch being northwesterly; ; On the morning of the 29th, the column marched toward the north, then toward the east, and finally southeast, making some seventeen and a half miles. So far; very little indications of the pres ence of Indians have been found, but it was hoped that on account of the presence of bnffalo, we were about to fall in with the Indians. The expedi tion to! tb6 north bank of the Yellow stone, in so far as finding of hostile Indians is concerned, has proved a fail ure. Trails have been found of email hunting parties, but apparently no large band of Indians have crossed the river, unless they have crossed at a point further east. There is a strong probability that no Indians will bernet with' during the present campaign It will be imperatively necessary for the troops who have been designated to re main in encampmentduringthe winter to set to work preparing winter quar ters, as the severity of the winter months render living under canvas ab solutely impossible.''

An Escaped Prisoner Tells about the Custer Massacre Horrible Tor turesSitting Bull Alive. Minneapolis, Sept 8. The Pioneer Press emd Tribune publishes an inter view with an old trapper named Redg- ey,who was for a long time in Yellow stone country, and claims to have wit nessed the Custer massacre, being a prisoner in Sitting Bull's camp and seeing every movement of the troops. He was taken prisoner last March and kept in camp of Indians ever since, until the Custer massacre. Was kind" ly treated, and says Sitting Ball organ ized not to fight whites but to drive miners from the hills. Previous to Custer's attack, mounted couriers from Sitting Bull's camp had for eight days watched his forces. Its division into small detachments being noted with manifestations of extreme delight. Ambuscades were immediately pre pared, and while the Indians stood ready for an attack, many of them clambered on the side of the hill over looking Custer's line of march. The Indian camp was divided by a bluff, a point of which ran townrd the Rose bud and in the direction of one of the available fords of the river to the camp. By this ford Custer followed their trail down to the water's edge. There were but 25 teepes visible to Custer, but there were seventy five doubla teepes behind the bluff not visible. Custer attacked the smaller village and was immediately met by 1500 to 2000 In dians in regular order of battle. Every movement was made with military precision. Ridgeley Bays he stood on the side of a hill where he had a com plete view of the battle, which was not more than a mile and a half distant. Custer began the fight in a ravine near the ford and fully half of his command seemed to be unhorsed at the first fire. Then the soldiers retreated towards the hills in the. rear and were shot do wn with astonishing rapidity. The com manding officer falling from his horse in the middle of the engagement.which commenced at 11 a. m., and did not last more than 55 minutes. After the massacre of Custer's force, the Indians returned to camp with six soldiers as prisoners and delirious with joy over their success. Those six were tied to stakes on a wood pile in the village and were burned to death. While the flames were torturing them to death, Indian boys fired red hot arrows into their quivering flesh, until they, died. Sitting Bull was met after the fight and he exultingly remarked that he had killed many soldiers and one damned General, .but didn't know who he was. The equawa then armed themselves with knives, and visited the battle field and robbed and mutilated the bo dies of the soldiers, while those sol diers were being burned, the Indians turned their attention to the force, evidently Reno's attacking, the lower end of the village. Ridgely , says , Cus ter's command had been slaughtered before a shot was fired by Reno's force which attacked the lower end of the camp about 2 o'clock P M. The In dians returned in the evening and said their men had fought like the devil; but Ridgely says they did not make a statement of their losses. They said the said the soldiers had been driven back twice and they piled up stones and their attack was unsuccessful. The prisoners were kept burning for an hour, but Ridgely was not permit ted to speak with them. So we are unable to state who they were. One was noticeable from , his small size and gray hair and whiskers. Reno killed more Indians than Custer; 2 Captains bcheyed to be Yates and Keege, were the last to die. The night after the massacre, the Indians were wild with delight and many were drunk on whiskey stolen from the whi.es. The squaws performed the duty of guards for the prisoners, and becoming drowsy, Ridgely and two companions escaped, securing ponies, and began their long journey home ward. The party ate game and laid in the woods four days to avoid Indians On the way His' horse stumbled, break ingRidgely's arm, but the party finally reached Fort Abercombie and thence Ridgely came here.' He describes Sit ting Bull as a half-breed of large size and very intelligent with peculiar gait to his walk. ! London, 8. A dispatch from Mad rid received here, says that William I M Tweed has been arrested at Viga. Later. A dispatch to the Ren ter Telegram Company confirms the arrest of Tweed with details. MINNESOTA.
