The Postmaster at Sandy Hook, Ken tucky, writes the department, stating that on the night of the 22d ono-half of the town was burned, including the postoffice and entire oontents. The fire was inoen- diary, caused by a band of desperadoes, their purpose being to rob mails. The Postmaster reports the band still at large, and says that they now threaten his life. He further states the authorities are una ble to arrest the thieves, and advises the department to discontinue the mails at that point until an arrest oan be had. The matter is now under the oonsidera' tion of the department. JUDGE OABTTEB AND THE INDICTED SOUTH OABOLINA BADS. A special to the New York Timet says Chief Justice Oartter, of the Supreme Court of the Distriot of Columbia, aays he has made up hia mind to refuse to honor a requisition from Governor Hampton in case the latter should oall upon him for the arrest of Oardozo and other South Carolina Republicans, now in Washington, who are said to have been indicted by a Democratic grand jury in that State. Judge Cartter Bays that he has not thought about the matter, and will not give it any consideration until it becomes necessary for him to do so. In that oase he will probably consult the President, who can very soon tell him whether or not Hampton is reoognized as the legal Governor of the State. APPOINTMENT. Judge A. B.

BEWABd's TERRITORY—100 WHITES 1,300 INDIANS. Washington, August 30.—Apprehen sion iB felt for the safety of the white residents at Sitka. Koloehan, the chief, and the Indians have of late been aoting with great insolenoe and using threaten ing language. Koloshan’s village is sit uated less (ban a half mile from the stook ade. The aggregate number of Indians is 1,300, but at present over 1,000 are in the interior laying up winter stores of salmon. It is stated that the chief has threatened that as soon as his people return he will take possession of the stockade and Gov ernment stores. It is feared that suoh violent measures on the part of the In dians may lead to the massaore of the whites, who number about one hundred souls. During the Bussian oooupation of Sitka, they kept a battery constanly trained upon the Indian settlement. Sinoe the withdrawal of United States troops the Indians have given daily evidenoe of their growing hostility. The revenue cutter stationed at Sitka, in the event of distur bance, will be of little value, as it is a ompelled to lie some distanoe off from t he town. These faots were laid before the Cabinet Tuesday and as a measure of precaution the Heortary of War was directed to plaoe at the disposal of the Collector of Customs a sufficient number of arms, equipments and ammunition to enable the inhabitants to defend themselves and the property of the Government.

The Vienna correspondent of the Times telegraphs the lioumanian bridge at Ko- rabia was ready on August 26th, whan the head division crossed. Two others have probably orossed by this time. The Prince himself assisted at the operation from the beginning. Whatever may be thought of the value of the Boumsnian troops, the appesrauoe of some 26,000 men in flank and rear of the position of Plevna must be very awkward to ‘the Turks, above all, as they may soon ex peot to be attacked likewise by a powerful foroe iu front.

He is now oredited with 200 gnns and ought to make a grand defense; but if defeated the Turkish loss will be irreparable in the faee of an immensely superior linssian cavalry.

HE THINKS THAT THE DEMOCRATS WILL CAB BY OHIO, DESPITE BURUMAN’s SPEECH. The following is an extraot from an in terview with Senator Thurman with a re porter of the Cincinnati Enquirer: Thurman—Aa to the oanvass, that iB yet indefinite. It will probably be pretty warmly oontested, and, in the lnnitiplioity of tioketa, it is likely there will be a good deal of speech-making. As to the reeolt, I am very hopefnl. “You think, then, that the prospect for the Democracy ia obeorful ?” “Deoidedly so. I don’t think there is much doubt se to the result. The only point causing any apeoial uncertainty ia ths workingmen's movement, and I think, from what 1 oan learn, that it will proba bly work favorably for the Democrats.” “In what way “By taking a larger number of its fol lowing from tbe Republicans than from tbe Demoorats. Tbe only danger lies right here in Hamilton oounty. If the Demoersts here are anxious for the success of the party, as I believe, of oourse, they are, they won’t be inveigled into throw ing away their votos aud jeopardizing the sucoe8s of the party after a tioket that can’t possibly carry a single couuty in the State itself. If the snioidal result of suoh aotion is fully considered by the Demo crats hero, I don’t think there is any serious doubt aa to a Demooratio victory in Ohio, unless from some other osnBes yet comparatively undeveloped." “And do you, then, seo any other pos sible dangers to the Demooraoy ?" “None, unless it bo from tbe Green back party. There is a possibility that it may draw off a small number of votes whioh properly belong to ns, bnt I think the thinking Demoorats will not allow themselves to throw away their influence and party strength and prospeot for this sort of ohi “ " aff.” ‘And how about platformB ?' 'Oh, I hear nothing much about that snbjeot exoept in regard to ths ‘Commun istic’ plank in the Republican platform. That, of oourse, is muoh talked of and widely oondemned. ’ ‘How do yon find Ihe feeling regarding the Democratic candidate in the northern part of the State?' ‘Very favorable. I think Mr. Bishop will make a very strong run iu that seo tion ; in faot, everywhere.' 'And do you expeot to take a part in the oanvaas ?' ‘Oh, yes; I shall tako hold in a few weeks, and expeot to do considerable work for tbe oause.’ ‘And you are, then, hopeful aa to the result ?' ‘Very.’ 'And look for the fall tioxet to be eleot. ed?’ ‘Yes.’ 'By how much of a majority ?' ‘Enough to redeem Ohio ; can’t say ex actly what figure, but enough.' ROMANTIC AND NAD. S BEAUTIFUL YOUNO LADY DIES AFTER A SURGICAL OPERATION IN MARYLAND, By telegraph to the Herald.) Baltimore, Md., Angust 26, 1877. The death of Miss Ida V. Uranob, aged twenty-three, whioh followed a surgical operation at the Maryland University Hospital yesterday, has brought to light a singular romance in real life. She was tbe daughter of James Branob, residing near Smitbfield, Isle of Wight oonnty, Va., and possessed extraordinary beauty, and was besides a young lady of cnltnre and refinement. She was the belle of tbe village and had many admirers. Among others who sought her hand was a Mr. Ferguson, the son of a neighboring far mer, to whom, with the oonsent of hor father, Ida beoame betrothed. Iu Jan nary last certain indications in tbe appearance of Miss Branoh arousod a suspioion on the part of her father that the intimaoy between them had been of an improper oharaoter, and Mr. Branoh com municated his suspicions to his danghtor. Tbo latter earnestly denied the imputa tion, and solemnly protested that her in timaoy had not exceeded that of thestriot- eat propriety. His snspioions wore al layed, bnt subseqnently they were again aroused, and Miss Branch was sent to her sister, Mrs. Ferguson, at Charlottosville. To this lady Ida made an equally positive denial, bnt her physioal oondition was suoh that her father deemed a medical examination necessary. Hu visitod Char lottesville, and the physician, after an examination, confirmed his suspicions. Notwithstanding this she again protested her iunooenoe, and a second examination by another phyaioiau revealed the pros enoe of an ovarian tumnr. Dr. Randolph, who made this discovery, reoouimended her removal to Baltimore for medioal treatment. She arrived here on the 15th instant, and waa placed nndor the aaro of Professor Johnston nod other eminent ibysiaiens comprising the faoulty of the laryland University. The tnmor grew so rapidly that an ope ration was found necesHsry. Him was as sured that the tnmor would result in death in a few days, while the operation might possibly save her life. Slio readily as sented, requesting that if alio died a post mortem might bo made, iu order to es tablish her purity and innooeuoo. Thu operation was performed on Friday, aud the tumor, when removed, wna found to be of tbe extaordinary weight of forty fonr pounds. She rallied slightly, but subsequently sank, and death ensued ou Saturday after, noon. It was discovered that decompose tion bad began bofore tbe tnmor was re moved, and that she oonld not in any osso have lived more than a day or two. Hor remains wore taken to Virginia for burial.

Mr. Editor: In the Annnal Register for 1862 I find that tbe General's famous “order” was made the subject of a ques tion in tbe Honse of Lords In reply to the question, asked by Lord Carnarvon, Lord Rnsaeli said: Supposing there was no intontion of patting it (tbe order) in foroe, it was likely, if not immediately disavowed, to give the soldiery a lioeose for great bru tality. In the Commons, Sir John Walsh bad something to say abont it. Ho is report ed to have “commented in severe terms upon this extraordinary proclamation, which be thought would be universally reprobated by pnblio opinion iu thia ooim- try.” Mr. Gregory seconded tbe motion for papers. Tbe proclamation was “repug nant to deoenoy, civilization and bumnn- ity—an outrage at cnee wicked, inexcus able and useless.” Lord Palmerston, too, appears to have had a correct conception of Iho order. He said : “No man oonld have read that proclama tion without a feeling of the deepost indig nation—a proclamation to which he did not hesitate to attach the epithet of infa mous. Englishmen mast blnsh to think that it came from a man of the Anglo- Saxon raoe—a man who was a soldier, aud bad raised himself to the rank of General. “Hoping that these extraots will help to show tho feeling evoked by tbe order at the time, I remain yours, “A Briton.” LETTER FROM GENERAL BUTI.KB.
