Editor of Times CALL BACK fifteen years ago, when patriotism fired the hearts of ail who love their State and section. A long series of insults had been heaped high upon the heads of the unoffending South. The old constitution of freedom and liberty had been torn asunder, and the noble men of the South, fired with the zeal of their forefathers of 1776, opened another rebellion to op pression. At the first smell of blood, the West Point Guards fell into lino, commanded by the brave Mathews. On the 2d day of April, 1861, the pride company of the village, composed of as bravo and chivalrous men us ever battled in defence of expiring liberty, mustered in our streets and down to the depot, to the air of The Bonnie Blue FUig, prior to embarking on the train which was to bear them to Nor folk, Va. “That was not only the most mem orable but the saddest day ever seen in the city of West Poiut—the day when these dear boys, the flower of the land, parted with weeping moth ers, sisters, and everything dear, and in obedience to what was deemed a sacred behest, tore loose from the embrace of the dearest earthly ties and went forth at the first, call of their country, laden with benedic tions and prayers, many of them nev er to return again. “West Point furnished other young men in the other companies formed around here, both in Alabama and Georgia, during all the war, who upon a hundred battle fields illus trated the chivalrie spirit and undy ing courage of her noble people. Troup county furnished to the Con federate Government in our late war nearly 2,000 soldiers, of which num ber over 200 were killed in battle or died of wounds and diseases, and of the others surviving, there are many disabled for life or broken down with disease. Of this 2,000 West Poiut fur nished nearly 300. “In that great conflict of arms, these men were ever found in the fiercest of the light, and thickest of the fray, with their broad swords dyed in the blood of their foes, or glittering and gleaming in the sun light of victory. They went not forth as the quarry-slave scourged to his dungeon, but like heroes in the strife, before whom the courage of the brave detenders of the bloody Thermopylae and the gallant, Leoni das fall almost into insignificance. Some of them still survive to rejoice and bless mankind, while others obeying the summons “have crossed over the river and now restunder the shade of the trees.” They went down to death as martyrs in a con flict which lost to the South the di vine right of self-government—in a conflict which lost all but Southern honor, manhood and courage. Some of them fell ia the shock of battle, repelling the fierce attack, or bear ing the flag of their country and lead ing the gallant charge; some of them are asleep in tho great cemetery, Bomein lone and unknown graves, with no fresh hillocks or carved headstones to mark their last rest ing-places. Over their remains is reared no costly mausoleum, but af ter the fitful fever and storm of bat tle is over, they sleep well—per chance in their soldier blankets awaiting the angels and the morning of the resurrection. Then let us who survive these noble heroes, these brave defenders of our Southern cross, recount their deeds of chivalry, embalm their names in songs, plant the tree of liberty over their graves, and water it with our tears. “It was reserved for West Point to be the last grand theatre of our bloody revolution. The last fight of that revolution was fought upon her heights: the last blood that was shed and the last hero that fell, was upon her sacred soil. On the 16th of April 1865, Col. LeGrand, with about 3,000 dismounted cavalry charged into the city. A portion of Major Allen’s battery which was then on duty here, together with some crippled soldiers and hospital rats, amounting in all to 113 men. took position in the fort, known as Fort Tyler. These troops were reinforced by a small de tachment of soldiers, thirteen in num ber, under Col. J. H. Fannin of Troup ■county. Gen. Tyler, the command ant of this post, a brave and gallant officer, took command of the forces in the fort. The first attack of the Federals on the fort was at eleven ■o’clock, when a furious charge was made, “It is useless to attempt a descrip tion of the fort. By nature it is a formidable position. The fight was furious and protracted; the brave ■Confederates stood to their guns and with volley upon volley poured shot and shell into the Federal lines. Gen. Tyler fell. Gonzales, his aid-de camp, also fell, and it was not till six o’clock that day, arter repeated charges, and the Confederates had exhausted their ammunition, the Federals with their massive columns were able to carry the rebel heights. It was a fruitless victory dearly bought, which was evidenced by the Federal dead and wounded: and be sides it was foughtafter the Confeder ate forces had, rbelieve, surrendered. Gen. Tyler, who fell here, now rests in Hopewell cemetery, and who was, I believe, a lineal descendant of John Tyler, and was a citizen of Memphis, Tenn. As an officer he was consid ered very strict, and hence to some, especially civilians, was objectiona ble; but as a brave and gallant light er, lie was considered tho bravest of the brave. Gen. LaGrnnge was ns magnanimous us could be expected, representing that brunch of the ser vice ho did; but tho amount of pro perty which lie destroyed, which we nave already noted, was in one sense stupendous. We are prepared, how ever, to shako hands with him over the bloody chasm, and to pray God that this government and its institu tions may prosper and survive all civil revolutions, and that our land may never more bo drenched in civil blood, and our children never be call ed to go forth into the field to defend their homes and firesides, to perpet uate their liberties or independence. “In this fight the Confederates lost eight killed and tho Federals, it is supposed, about sixty. It is a fact worthy of note that after Gen. Tyler was killed, Col. Fannin took com mand, and though his force was small and his surrender was often demand ed, he refused, and fought till the Federals entered tho fort and cut down his flags. This euded tho drama, and the curtain fell upon the last bloody fight of our revolution.” Standing to-day on tho last battle ground fought by brothers iu the struggle from ’6l to ’65, we wonder, why all tho bloodshed of these four years ? what has been accomplished ? is the Union cemented ? is the Union whole ? or are we a conquered people, working under and paying taxes to a general government, without repre sentation, except under the rule of the army ? When shall this glorious old government know no East, no West, no North, and no South ? Shall it be under Radical rule? We fear not. “B”’ GRANT’** PROCLAMATION. •Judtfi* 11 lurk. Pronounces It the Most I.nvtle** Outrage on Record. Washington Special to the New York Sun.j Some of the newspapers of this morning contained a statement that an informal meeting of Democrats was held last night at tho Ebbitt House, Judge Black, of Pennsyl vania, being the principal speaker; that the President’s South Carolina proclamation was discussed and the conclusion reached that Gen. Hamp ton ought to retire from the contest for Governor, let Grant curry the State for Hayes and get the Presi dential vote thrown out by the House of Representatives, and that it was determined to telegraph Gen. Hamp ton to that effect. This paragraph produced much talk and some ex citement. I called on Judge Black to night to ascertain what truth, if anv, there was in it. He answered with au emphatic denial of the whole story. There was no meeting of any kind, formal or informal. He had expressed no opinion of that kind. He did not believe that Gen. Hampton ought to withdraw, and no matter what he fJudge Black) might think, he would not thrust his advice on Gen. Hampton nor join with others in offering him any counsel whatever in the canvass. "That gentleman,” said lie, “is as’thoroughly qualified as any man in America to decide what should be done in tho emergency which he is called to meet. His blood and judgment are so well commin gled that his determinations aro sure lo be right and his acts efficient. I think lie will beat Grant, Patterson, Chamberlain and all the carpet-bag thieves that back them.” Reporter—What do you thiuk of Gen. Grant’s conduct in this bus iness? Judge B.—lt is the most lawless outrage on record. It is forbidden by the express words of tho Constitu tion, and by its wholo spirit. Even if it were the exercise of legal pow er, it is a cruelty so base that no civ ilized despot would bo guilty of it. Keporter- But is there no defence or excuse for it? Judge B.—None whatever. Ignor ance would be do excuse. But the parties engaged in pushing this af fair on are not ignorant of the law. Some persons who justified the crimes of the Administration in Louisiana might possibly believe this also to be right. Sheridan, for in stance, may be stupid enough to thiuk anything is lawful which promises a chance of shedding the blood of Democrats. Mr. Stough ton, of New York, will prob ably attempt to vindicate it. He is a good patent lawyer and a very honest man, but he knows nothing of the Constitution except that it puts for eign missionsjin the gift of the jPres ident. John Patterson knows it is all wrong; so does Cameron; so does Grant. They laugh in their sleeves at the flatterers who tell them they can legally use the military force of the Union, or the militia of other States, for the purpose of controlling elections in South Curofioa. They know also, as a matter of fact, that there is no disturbance there, and will be none except what they make themselves. Counting; the Presidential Vote. Cincinnati Gazette Special.) Washington, Oct. l9.~The ques tion of the existence of any joint rules between the two Houses has, however, been carefully examined and settled to-day. The Journal of the Senate shows the following to be the situation of the rules: Just before the close of the session, the House sent to the Senate the usual resolu tions, rescinding those joint rules which prevent the consummation of the legislation on the last day, a few hours before adjournment, Mr. Edmunds calied the matter up and said: , . On that subject, I offer the follow ing resolution : “Resolved, that the resolution of the House of Representatives, presen ted this day, in the folilowing words; “Resolved by the House of Represen tatives, the Senate concurring. That the sixteenth and seventeenth joint rules be suspended for the remainder of the session,” be respectfully re turned to the House of Representa tives, with the statement that the House of Representatives has not no tified the Senate of the adoption of the joint rules for this present ses sion, as proposed by the resolution of the Senate on the twentieth day of January last, and transmitted to the House of Representatives on the 22d of the same month. There are no joint rules in force. COLUMBUS, GA., WEDNESDAY MOENING, OCTOBEE 25, 187(5. Trade and Manufacture* Abroad : From the N. V. Bulletin, 31.] We have our English files to tho |7thinst. At that time tho various (marketswere exempt from the ox citing influences which have since been brought to bear upon them as ; regards the now impending conflict |in tiie East, and tho status a fort night ago t herefore may have been very different from what it is at this moment. Then, the feeling on the whole, as regards tho great manu facturing interests, was rather cheer ful than otherwise. Manchester was gladdened with a sudden acces sion of ordors from China, owing to improved quotations by wire, and probably, too, iu some measure, to au anticipation of fresh trade with the new ports about to be opened. This revival of Cldueso trade, iu fact, appears to have beeu tho loading fea ture of tho market for several days. It was not generally looked for so lute in the season, and it is attribu ted, among other reasons, to the re turning ease of tho money market, produced by largo arrivals of silver, and so apparent in tho recent heavy fall of the exchange. A large trade was also doing on Japan account. Trade with the Levant was sluggish, as might be expected under the un certain aspect of the diplomatic sit uation. As to business with the United States, the Manchester Ex aminer reasons in this way : "Hope lias been growing lately that the improvement of trade in America—about which there can no longer be any doubt—may soon bene fit ourselves. Already the export of goods hither has been checked ; the next step would be a check of exports to neutrul markets where wo have lately lost ground, such as Canada, the West Indies and China; and we may hope ere long to be called upon to resume our once important ship ments to the United States upon a scale somewhat resembling that of past years. But such hopes presup pose a further improvement in the American home trade.” The manufacturers in tho heavy woolens districts were still busy, the improvement previously noted being well maintained. Tho Belfast linen trade was exhibiting an improved tone. Home buyers were giving out their orders with rather more free dom, but it was extremely difficult to get au advance on old prices, except in a few special lines. On export ac count the demand was very quiet, but some American orders were coming forward. A change for the better is reported in Sheffield trades, especially in orders from the United States. Orders for railway materiul were a little more numerous, but they had to bo taken at low rates. The hardware trade generally was brisker. The armor-plate and loll ing mills are fairly employed, and ongiueeriug houses had not much reason to complain. As regards the iron trade, wo notice but few changes worth recording. From Cardiff the report is’ that shipments are few and far between, and the demand for rails, had as it has been lately, seems positively de clining. A fair amount of business, however, was doing with India and South Russia, but trade with the Baltic ports seems to have about ended for this season. Tho South American demand is small, but steady. Throughout the North of England, the rail market was very dull, and tho leading rail makers do not discover any material signs of improvement at hand. The plate makers were continuing to receive orders, showing that there is some improvement in 'iron ship-building, though it is not noticeable to any ex tent iu tho North of England ship yards, with one or two exceptions. Advices from France and Belgium show but little animation in that quarter. Iron for building purposes is alone sustained in Belgium, al most all other qualities having expe rienced a decline duriug the last few weeks. Plates exhibit a depression which can only be explained with difficulty, as Russia and Holland continue to take large quantities of this description of iron from Bel gium. UOV. CURTIN ON THIS STUMP. VIGOROUS SUPPORT OF THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES AND DEMOCRATIC POLICY. Special Dispatch to New York World.| Bellefonte, Pa., October 19. —The largest and most enthusiastic Demo cratic meeting held in this town since the reception of Gov. Curtin upon his return from Russia occurred here to night. The large and commodious court-room was crowded almost to suffocation. Hundreds could not find standing room inside the building. Upon the appearance of Gov. Curtin iu tho hall ho was received with over whelming enthusiasm by his old friends and neighbors. Governor Curtin, in his address, spoke kindly of all the Presidential candidates personally, Tilden, Hayes, Cooper and Green Clay Smith. He asserted his belief that each was hon est, conscientious and patriotic. He endorsed the saying of Morton that the Administration of no President could differ materially from the poli cy of the leaders of the party which elected him. He then reviewed tho administration of President Grant, and gave a summary of the abuses and corruptions which existed, and which compelled even the Republi can party itself to cry aloud for re form. He alluded to the present con dition of the South, and contrasted the peace and prosperity of the South ern States which have been under Conservative rule with the turbu lence and violence existing in the few States South where carpet-bag gers still have power. He then dis posed of the allegation that the elec tion of Tilden would result in the payment of the rebel war debt or rebel claims of any kind, and with severe and pointed irony disposed of the “bloody shirt.” His speech was frequently inter rupted by the wildest applause and cannot fail to have a powerful influ ence in this section. Old Centre, tin der the lead of Curtin, is good for 1,000 majority. Defaulted and Absconded. New York, Oct. 24.—Th03. Ellis, paying teller of the National Park Bank, is a defaulter in $36,000. It is supposed he stuffed a package of SSOO and thousand dollar notes in his pocket. He has been absent since Saturday. Five thousand dollars re ward offered. He was 18 years with the bank. AKrlcultual Prospect* In iicorntla. The Augusta Chronicle thinks the planter will find reductions in every article which he purchases this win ter. Instead of getting ssventy-five dollars per bale for his cotton, he will only got forty-five dollars, but the purchasing power of forty-five dol lars now is about equal to tho pur chasing power of sovouty-ilve dollars four years ago. Consequently, if tho system of farming had not changed at all since 1872, the planter would be as well off now us he was thou, de spite the panic, the suspension of the mills and the stagnation of trade gen erally. But fortunately, for him, and fortunately for the country as well, the system of farming has changed. Iu 1872 the planter bought everything—corn, hay, oats, baoon, tiour, meal, dry goods, iron, butter, eggs, and what not. Ho raised cotton uud cotton alone, und annually ex changed his entire crop for the means of subsistence, and annually went in debt to the factor and com mission merchant besides. Every thing was bought on time, aud plan ters paid rates of interest that were simply enormous. Corn which cost the cash purchaser 90c. per bushel, cost tho unfortunate planter $1 20 or $1 30, when he came to pay for it in the fall. Roof bacon and everything else also, which his necessities or his improvidence compelled him to pur chase. But tho planter was at last made to change this suicidal policy. Year after year brought him deeper into debt, until at last the factors and commission merchants were unable to make any advance, and he was thrown upon his own resourcos. The result is that this year ho will, to a great extent, buy only those things which he cannot make; and, having tho money to pay for thorn, ho will get tho benefit of cash prices. For instance, a great deal of grain was sown this year, and the crops usually have been from fair to fine. It is safe to say that seven-tenths of tho planters of Georgia, and South Car olina have raised corn enough to last thorn all of next year—many of them will have a surplus for sale. Wheat enough has been harvested by most of them to furnish thorn with all tho flour thoy need for family consumption. They have enough of fodder, oats and hay to supply them with long forage for their stock; they will not, have to buy any corn-meal for their hands; many of them will gather abundant crops of peas and potatoes, aud some of them will make all the molasses they require. They have not yet rendered them selves independent of tho smoke houses in Ohio and Illinois, but the day of redemption has only been postponed. It is coming slowly, but none the less surely. The stock of hogs on the plantation has largely increased, and purchases of bacon will bo curtailed to a considera ble extent. Somo planters in every county will make enough bacon to supply their places, but these furnish the exception, we are sorry to say, and not the rule. Every one can see that the planters, this year, are com parative by independent, and that the cotton which they raise is to a great extent, a surplus crop. The country is to be congratulated on this condi tion of affairs. When agriculture prospers, every other interest flourishes; when agriculture suffers, every other interest is injured.— Georgia Grange. Counting the Electoral Vote. Boston Journal, Rep. We presume that the fact stated by our Washington correspondent, namely, that the famous twenty-second joint rule is no longer in force, will be new to most of our readers This is the rule which Senator Morton char acterized as a dangerous torpedo planted in the path of the Government. It provided that, during the process of counting the vote for President and Vice President before the two Houses of Congress, if the reception of the vote of any State should be objected to on the part of either House, the vote of such State should be thrown out. As the Senate is now Republicau and the House Demo cratic, and the next Presidential election may be very close, dependent possibly upon the vote of one or two States, such a rule, it will be seen, might become a powerful lever, not only fpr controling the decision, but for plunging the country into trouble. If South- Carolina, for instance, should be carried for Tilden, the proofs of intimidation might be so undoubted that the Senate might be com pelled to object to the counting of the vote. On the other hand, if the State went Repub lican, the Democratic House might object to the vote, and all the more readily that if by any means the election of President by the people could be defeated, the choice would be thrown into the House, which, of course, would proceed to elect Tilden. It seems, however, that the joint rules of previous Congresses were not adopted at the last session by the present Congress, so that this twenty-second rule, which has been the subject of so much discussion and so many proposed amendments, is now null and void. The whole process of dealing with the elec toral votes at the next session will be under the brief and much disputed provisions of the Constitution, which merely says; “The President of the Senate shall, in presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all certificates; and the vote shall then be counted; the person having the greatest number of votes ’’ etc. The chief question is, what is meant by ‘counted?’ Does it mean the mere enumeration of the certified votes without regard to genuineness; ormust the legality of the vote be taken into con sideration, and only such as are found to be genuine and free from fraud “counted?” again, who is to do the counting? The Pres ident of the Senate is to open the certificates, but the language as to whom the counting is to he done by is left indefinite. This is one of the parts of the Constitu tion which were left incomplete, and which ought to have been amended before this. It is to be hoped that all the questions and dread contingencies to which this matter might give rise, may not be opened at the next session of Congress. Newmarket Hares. London, October 24.— The race for theCambridgeshire stakes took place to-day, at the Newmarket Haughton meeting. It was won by Rosebury; Hopblootn second, and Sirius third. Thirty-two horses ran. An Impudent Demand t 4li.mil> erlaln Charleston, Oet. 24.— Gov. Cham berlain sent a written demand to the German Fusiliers of Charleston, one of the oldest military organizations in the Union, to surrender their arms, and inquiring whether the disbanded Fusilliers, organized in 1775, served in the revolution and 1812. THE TURKISH SITUATION. A FURTHER ADVANCE OF THE TURKIMH ARMY. [ THE USUAL SPECULATIONS ON THE SITUA TION. ... . ......... D’junis, Oct. 21.—Tho Turks have advancod their headquarters five miles. Tho fortified mountain over which the road to Krushevatz loads is still to bo stormed. Belgrade, Oct. 24.—There is in tense suffering in both armies. The majority of the soldiers are wearing linen, aud have no blankets. There are 180,000 Bulgarian and Bosnian refugees in Sorvia. Ignatiff has been instructed to in form the Porto that the intervention of Russia, Greeco and Roumania will follow the rejection of the terms offered. London, Oct. 24.—The Post says England will resent the infraction of the stipulations of the treaty of Par is. The Russian minister, Ignatiff, has a private audience with the Sultan to-day. It is stated the Porte is ready to grant Russia’s latest prop osition, provided tho integrity of tho Ottoman Empire is guaranteed. Pesth, Oct. *24.—The Russians be lieve that if the Turks take Krushe vatz, Russia will make armed inter vention. London, Oct. 24.—A Reuter dis patch from Constantinople says it is stated Russia has already indicated her willingness to agree to a six weeks prolongation, if neeessarry, of a six weeks armistice. It is hoped an agreement will be reached on the basis of Turkey’s acceptance of such an armistice as announced in’a semi official statement in this morning’s Post. London, Oct. 24.— A speciul from Pesth to the Neics represents that there is intense excitement there and strong hostility to Russia. In case Russia commences war, itgwill be difficult for Austria to preserve neutrality. London, Oct. 24.—A dispatch to tho Times from Theropa announces that Mr. BauiDg, Secretary of the British legation, is about to return from Phillppepellis, being convinced that a commission for tho punishment of tho perpetrators of the Bulgarian atrocities is a delusion and mockery. The most criminal are regarded hu mane, and the moderate are iu dis grace. The old panic is renewed, aud a most trustworthy gentleman is traveling with the utmost haste to Constantinople to inform tho British Ambassador that the Turks threaten new massacres, and have even appointed a day for the begin ning of the slaughter. A Vienna dispatch to tho Times says not only from Constantinople, but from all the provinces of Europe an Turkey, is there news of growing excitement, arming the Montene grins, of conventicles held in mosques and of armament. The ministry is divided against it self, and the Sultan ia too inexperi enced to take tho leadership of af fairs. Thus the position is most fa vorable for Russia’s diplomatic ac tion. Gen, Ignatiff, the Russiam am bassador to Constantinople, may car ry everything before him, or if he fails may induce such an outbreak of Ma homedan feeling as might justify almost any step on the part of Rus sia. London, Oct. 24.—A Reuter dis patch from Bucharest says intelli gence has been received there that at a meeting of foreign ambassadors at Constantinople, Gen. Ignatieff de clared that an armistice must be con ceded immediately, and that other Russian demands would devolve for settlement upon a conference of the Powers, at which Turkey would not be represented—conference to define meaning of the words, “autonomy, aug,*quoruntus.” [They ought to be defined.] London, October 24.—A dispatch from Belgrade to Reuter’s, dated 12 m. to-day, says; It is reported here the Turks have taken D’Junis and St. Nestor. If this is irue, General Tchernayeff’s army is in great danger. Weather To-Day. ■Washington.

Cheyenne, October 24.—Gen. Crook, being satisfied that Red Cloud’s and Bed Leaf’s bands of Sioux were about to depart with a view of join ing the hostiles in tho north ("thoy having refused to comply with orders to como into tho Agency and receive rations, and stubbornly remaining in camp on Shadron creek, from whence it is positively known they were in communication with the northern Indians aud receiving into their camp such as came in), he, without waiting forj Gen. Merritt’s troops, determined upon disarming them, and at daylight on the morning of the 23d inst., Gen McKenzie, with eight companies of the fourth caval ry, one battalion of which was com manded by Major Gordon, and an* other by Capt. Manek, successfully surrounded these two bands, con sisting of three hundred lodges, and captured the bucks, squaws and po nied, without firing a shot and march ed them into the agency. After having been disarmed and dismounted, Spotted Tail, who has evinced unwavering loyalty to the whites, was made head chief, and Red Cloud deposed. Spotted Tail and Little Mound have promised to furnish Gen. Crcok with all the warriors he may need to co-operate with him in the coming campaign, which will be inaugurated at once. Gen. Crook feels that a groat ob ject has been attained in this last movement, aud that we shall now know our enemies from our friends. Washington, Oct. 24.—Gen. Sheri dan forwards to Gen. Sherman a dis patch from Gen. Crook, confirming the Cheyenne dispatoh in all its de tails. Crook’s dispatch concludes: "I feel that this is the first gleam of daylight wo have had in this busi ness.” It is stated at headquarters that the plan of discovering and dis mounting tho Indians be followed at other agencies. lmllnn It aids Continued. Cheyenne, W. TANARUS„ Oct. 22.— Advices from Red Cloud Agency, of the 18th, are as follows: Immediately after the commissioners left the agency recent ly, tue Indians moved and camped about, twenty-five miles away, send ing in only squaws and a few bucks on issue day to draw rations. They were so far away that no information could be had as to their movements or doings, and doubtless many of them were off on a raiding and plun dering expedition. Word was sent to them by Capt. Smith, the acting United States agent, to come into the agenev. To this they paid no atten tion. 'Meanwhile General Crook and several of his staff arrived there, and word was immediately sent to these Indians that no more rations would be issued until they came into the agency, where they belonged, and re mained Yesterday was issue day and very few Indians were present. Red Cloud was present, but none of his band, and he refused to receive rations. The ultimatum will not be receded from in the smallest degree, and unless it is complied with trou ble is anticipated. Lieutenant Chase, with one hundred cavalry, left Fort Russell yesterday to intercept raid ing parties operating in the vicinity of the Chug. Cheyenne, Oct. 22.— The telegraph line to Fort Fetterman, which has been down since the 16th inst., proves to have been interrupted by Indians. Communication was re established with that point to-day. On the 13th instant a government supply train was attacked by the In dians between Forts Fetterman and Laramie. G. M. Coleman, wagon master, was seriously wounded in the ankle, and several horses were killed. Four Indians are reported to have been killed or wounded. A trail has been discovered showing that cattle recently crossed the Platte, fifteen miles south of Fort Fetterman, going in a northeastern direction. These are cattle stolen from near Laramie Peak, and are being driven to tho Indian villages for winter provisions. Heavy For— A Railroad strike. New York, 24.—The fog of Satur day and Sunday continued Monday. Most of tho vessels anchored outside. Tho ferrys were impeded last night. The engineers and firemen of tho Jersey Central Railroad struck at midnight wherever the train happen ed to be. Fires were damped and the men left. The fog has entirely disappeared to-day. A Partisan Hupervlsor of Election*. St. Louis, Oct. 24.—Judge Treat hasjappointed Edmund P. Allen, one Of the Commissioner’s Court, as Chief of Supervisors for this district, who will report to the court the names of Supervisors for tho respec tive districts. The matter has been the cause of a goed deal of comment hero, and will probably continue to be so until the close of election day. Dan Sickles Come* to tlie Front.
