San Francisco, June 27.—A dis

Father M. L. Lesplie,for thirty years
Catholic missionary among the In
dian tribes, and now chaplain of the
United States army at Ft. Borie,
makes a statement that 100 Indians
held a council, and the proceed
ings were sent Senator Mitchell, but
failed to reach Washington. Father
Lesplie was the medium between the
Indians and Senator Mitchell. He
says if the matter had been attended
to, it might have been arranged, but
now it is too late. He quotes a prin
cipal chief, that the Indians laughed
at Gen. Howard and his fine
speeches, saying that they would
never persuade them to give up
the Walla Valley, which they were
resolved to keep at every hazard. He
says the chiefs, and principal men
who inaugurated this war are rich
and influential, and they will be able
to draw to them the support of all
the disaffected Indians belonging to
various tribes, and that these con
stitute a majority in every case. He
is of the opinion that the war will be
general and prolonged.

THE VAGABOND I‘HETENDER air.
ING HIMSELF.
Des Moines, la., 27.—" Governor”
I Packard, last, night iu respouse to a
j serenade, spoke as follows:
Kind friends: I am gratillied at
this exhibition of confidence and
friendship to me. I represented the
cfPflfse which you hold dear as Repub
licans and as American citizens, dis
charging as well as I could the
simple duty that fell upon mo as
Governor of the State of Louisiana,
trying to assert my authority, and
failing. I didu’tfail because the prin
ciples have failed, but I believe that
the principles of the Republican
party will yet save Louisana to the
Republican party (Loud cheers and
applause.) Since I have arrived in
your beautiful city, and even before
I got here, I saw the evidences of
loyality which abound in this great
State to the Republican party. I see
all around me thrift. I see around
me intelligence. I found kind
friends who had a word of encour
agement to say—a word of comfort
and cheer to give, and a word for mo
to take back as I return to my South
ern home in a few weeks to cheer my
companions.
Many of you have met in this city
as delegates to a convention which is
about to make nominations for State
officers. The men that attend, as
usual, are men of more political ex
perience and intelligence than my
self, aud for this nothing need be
said; but I wish to say that I am
none the less a believer in Republi
canism now than I was while I was
claiming the office of Governor of
Louisiana; and I am glad to see
in lowa evidence that the election
which is to come off this fall will be
one in which the old majority will be
repeated. It will bo an election of
the whole Republican party—an
election in which by the reminiscen
ces of the majorities of past times
these majorities will be repeated, if
Republican standard is kept up. If
we have the old guard on duty in the
Republican party hereafter, as we
have had heretofore, there will be
no danger of a Republican defeat.
Three years from this time, if
the Republican party is defeated,
you understand that it is the
Democratic party that succeeds, and
if the Democratic party succeeds, it
is the Confederacy that is in charge
of the Government, and you all know
what that means. (Land applause
and cheers. "Cries of that's so!”) I
shall contribute all I can in the
future, as I have in the past, to avert
that calamity. We need the encour
agement of the round majorities from
this State and others in which the
Republican party has been in the
habit of giving to encourage us to
make the Republicans feel that their
hands are strengthened.
In conclusion, hoping that we may
have in the future the same sterling,
strong and resolute action as have
always been had in this State, I pre
dict that the other States will follow,
and that this country will be saved
to the Republican party for years to
come.
I thank you for your attention.
Louis Napoleon** Coui'twhlp,
Mr. Blanchard Jerrald, in his vol
ume just, published in London, tells
he conclusion of Louis Napoleon's
courtship. It was at tho Now York
bail in 1853, that as the company
were passing to the supper-room,
Mademoiselle do Montijo aud
Madame Fortoul, wife of tho Minis
ter of Public Instruction, reached
one of the doors together.
Madame Fortoul, mastered by that
jealousy of that fortunate lady which
'was general at court, rudely rebuked
Mademoiselle de Montijo for at
tempting to take precedence of her.
The young lady drew aside,
with great, dignity, before this
afront, and when she entered the
supper-room the pallor and trouble
in her face at once attracted the no
tice of the Emperor as she took her
place at His Majesty’s table. In
great anxiety he rose and passed be
hind her chair to ask what had hap
pened. "What is the matter?
Pray tell me.” The marked and sym
pathetic attention of the Emperor
drew all eyes upon the lady,
who became covered with con
fusion. “I implore you sire, to
leave,” she answered, “everybody is
looking at us,” Troubled and per
plexed, the Emperor took the earliest
opportunity of renewing his inquiry.
"I insist upon knowing. Whatis it?”
“It is this, sire,” the lady now an
swered haughtily, the blood mantling
her cheek. “I have been insulted to
night, and I will not expose myself to a
second insult.” “To-morrow,” said the
Emperor, in a low, kind voice, “nobody
will dare to insult you again.” Returned
home, Madame de Montijo and her
daughter, their Spanish blood thoroughly
ronsed, made hasty preparations to leave
Paris for Italy. On tbe morrow morning,
however, the mother received a letter
from the Emperor, in which he formally
asked the hand of Mademoiselle Eugene
de Montijo in marriage, and the ladies
within a few days removed from their
apartments to the Elysee, which was as
signed to the Emperor’s betrothed. With
in a month Mademoiselle de Montijo sat
on the throne of the Tuileries beside Na
poleon 111.
The blackberry industry in Geor
gia, North Carolina and other South
ern States is about to open. Tbe lit
tle town of Salem, N. C\, containing
only about two thousand inhabitants,
has shipped during three years over
three million pounds of blackberries,
for which nearly half a million dol
lars was received. This was equal to
over nine thousand bales of cotton
at ten cents a pound, and is a re
source not to be despised.
A. .smiiin-i n Adventure.
(Tenoral McClellan iu Phildelphia Time a.)
When the Federal Army occupied
Culpepper Court-house and the Con
federate army lay in Orange county,
Virginia, General Lee desired cer
tain information which it seemed
could be best obtained by an individ
ual scout, aud Striugfollow was se
lected for tbo service. It was neces
sary that he should penetrate the
enemy’s camps, remaining concealed
as long as possible, and return when
he had collected t.ho desired informa
tion. His operations were to be con
ducted mostly at night. Ho wished
to be accompanied by two men, one
of whom, Farrish by name, had his
home in the immediate vicinity of
the enemy’s camps, and being inti
mately acquainted with all the coun
try, could accurately guide him from
place to place iu the night as by
daylight. The expedition was under
taken on foot,as the distance was not
groat aud concealment was of prime
portance. The men were clad in their
uniform as scouts, not spies. The
country was a difficult one for the
operation of a scout. From the loug
aud frequent occupation by both the
contending armies the land had been
almost entirely denuded of its tim
ber, and only here and thero a few
thin clusters of trees remained stand
ing. One day had passed since they
had entered the enemy's lines, and
with nightfall they commenced their
wanderings among the hostile camps
mainly with the purpose of locating
the different corps, and of ascertain
ing whether any t roops had been de
tached from the Army of the Poto
mac. The night had been nearly
consumed in this way, when, reach
ing one of the clusters of trees of
which 1 have spoken, they laid them
selves down to eateh a few moments’
rest. A single blanket covered tho
three men.
Treacherous, fatal sleep! Their
fatigue was greater and the night
was further spent than they had sup
posed, and the sun, was shining
bright, in their eyes, when a party of
six Federal soldiers, with their mus
kets in their hands, pulled away the
blankets which covered them,
and saluted them with a humorous
“Good morning, Johnny Reb! wake
up!” Btringfellow, lying upon his
back, was the first to arouse aud to
comprehend the situation. Know
ing that an open attempt to seize his
arms would draw upon himself in
stant death, he feigued to be only
half awakened, and, much to the
amusement of his tormentors, turned
upon his side, muttering and grum
bling at being awakened, telling
them to go away and let him alone.
But by turning upon his side
he gave to himself an oppor
tunity of placing hjs hand, unob
served, upon the handle of his pistol,
and in another second he sprang
upon his feet and opened lire. His
companions joined iu the attack, and
for a few moments the firing was
rapid and fatal. The Federal soldiers
stood their ground, but at such close
quarters the musket was no match
for the revolver. There was no time
to reload under the quick eye of
Stringfellow.and once discharged the
muskets were useless. A few seconds
terminated the encounter, in which
Stringfcdiow found himself the sole
survivor of his party. Farrish was
killed ; his other comrade had disap
peared, he knew not how ; four of the
Federal soldiers lay dead at his feet,
and the two others, having thrown
down their empty guns, were run
ning for their lives.
But, though victor in this fight,
perils multiplied themselves around
him. The trees among which he
stood were Surrounded on every side
by open fields dotted thick with the
enemy’s teuts, some at a distance,
some close at hand. Concealment
was impossible, and he must run for
his life, but run in what direction he
might enemies would be suro to in
tercept his course, for the adjacent
camps had been aroused by the fir
ing, and the soldiers who escaped
would be sure to return with others
to avenge the death of their com
rades. At a distance of a few hun
dred yards a little branch made its
way through the open fields toward
the river. Its banks were fringed
with bushes, ami, while it offered only
an utterly forlorn hope, Htringfellow
turned toward it and ran. He was
seen by those who had already start
ed for his capture; seen to cross the
open field; seen to enter the brush
on the bank of the stream. And now
vindictive shouts announce that the
enemy felt secure of their prey, But
not so! Entering tho bed of the
stream, a kind Providence guided
him to the spot where the waters had
hollowed out for him a hiding place
beneath the roots of an old stump.
Underneath this bank, and behind
these roots, he forced his body, hav
ing hastily collected what driftwood
was within reach still further to con
ceal his person; aud there he lay,
half covered by the water and the
mud, and awaited the result.
From every direction men were hurry
ing to the spot with the perfect assurance
that the daring enemy would soon be
within their power. For long, long hours
did scores of searchers continue to exam
ine every foot of the brush that lined the
stream. Many times did the hostile leet
pass directly over Stringfellow’s body,
and once a man more inquisitive than
others stopped, white walking in the bed
of the stream, to examine the very spot
where he lay. But the driftwood which
he had skilllully arranged for his conceal
ment deceived the man, and he passed on
without making the discovery. Towards
afternoon the search was abandoned. But
not until the noise of,the camps was hush
ed in slumber did Htringfellow dare to
leave his retreat. Then following some
time the course of the little stream, he
passed in safety out of the enemy’s line,
swam the Rapidan between the pickets,
and thankful to God for his deliverance,
found himself once more among his
friends.
An Iron*Liail Cal-Fish.
Menaeha (Wis.) Press.)
A hoy, while fishing in Lake Butts
des Morte the other day, felt a nib
ble, and, drawing his book toward
the shore, ooserved a half gallon
fruit-can trailing on tho bottom.
Having secured the vessel, ho was
greatly surprised to find that a large
cat-fish had taken up its abide there
in, and remained until his increased
dimensions did not admit of egress.
He had evidently flopped around in
his tin parlor until a hole was made
in the rust-eaten bottom, through
which his tail protruded. In this
condition the cat-fish had power to
navigate from one place to another,
and must have been regarded by his
aquarian neighbors as a kind of iron
clad minitor.
THE NAVIM OF THE WORLD.
A HAD SHOWING FOB UNCLE SAM.
By Telegraph to tbe Journal of Commerce.]
New York, June 25.—The Herald
publishes detailed statistics ol' the
present condition of the navies of the
chief maritime nations, the object
being to compare the couditiou of
our navy with that of other nations,
iu view of tne European war, and the
possibility of other nations being
drawn into the conflict. These sta
tistics show that England has t>B iron
clads, with 725 guns ; Fiance 52, with
481 guus; Russia 32, with 213 guns;
Turkey 30, with 175 guns; Italy 25,
with 228 guns; the United States 24,
with 28 guns; Norway aud Sweden
20, with 28 guns; Holland 18, with 56
guns; Germany 15, with 174 guns;
Austria 15, with 144 guns; Brazil 14,
with 60 guns, and other nations with
smaller numbers. The article refers
to many causes that may lead to war.
It argues that America will be always
the commercial rival of all Europe.
She must be able to sustain this ri
valry iu trade aud to protect the
trade she creates. What she needs,
therefore, is a powerful navy ; a force
that will patrol and police the seas,
affording protection to her flag wher
ever it lloats.
Editorially, tho Herald referring to
this subject, says: We must either
renounce our tank as a first class
commercial nation or be prepared to
give sufficient protection to American
seatnou and property, as the English
Government does to British seamen
and property in all climes and under
ail conditions. This can be done
only by an omnipresent navy cruis
ing iu all seas, present in all ports,
ever at band to defend national
rights. Tho present condition of out
navy as compared with navies of
other maritime nations, and with
that of Great Britain, our chief com
mercial rival, is humiliating and dis
graceful.
More Light on the Ttclibnrne Case,
San Francisco, June 24.—A short
time ago the Call published an item
relative to the schooner Osprey, said
to have picked up the Tichborne
claimant off the Brazilian coast.
The article was read by an old man,
Oliver Perry, now a prisoner in the
State Penitentiary, who makes a
statement-, published in tho Call this
morning, to the effect that he was
second mate and carpenter of the
three-masted sehoonei Osprey,
which sailed from New York in Feb
ruary, 1854, for San Francisco ; that
some time in April or May following,
they picked up five men in a boat off
the coast of Brazil, three Englishmen,
one Norwegian, and one mulatto.
One of the Englishmen was called
Tick. He thought it was a nickname;
considered him an overgrown hoy
about twenty years old. He
spoke English, with a German or
French accent, and said his father
was a Lord, or something of that
sort, and he had been in South Amer
ica traveling for pleasure. Osprey
alter coming here went to the Rus
trnte, and it is supposed “Tick” went
on her also, but not certain. The
Captain’s name was Owen Perry,
who is now over seventy years of
age and his remembrance of circum
stances came to him by degrees in
tho course of conversation. He
knew very little of the Tichborne
case having been in the more unset
tled portions of the Pacific Coast for
the past fifteen or twenty years.*Says
he met Captian Owen afterward at
Idaho City in 1863 or 1804. Parties
who have known Perry say he was
always considered a reliable man, and
got into tho penitentiary more
through misfortune and whisky than
dishonesty.
Row They ak tor a Kiss.
When a Brunswick girl wants a
kiss she says; “Darling,” gives her
fellow a look that goes through him
like a galvanic shock, leans a little
closer and the work is done. Over
in Monroe county they are high
toned, and their way is thus: “If
you have not been drinking, and will
promise not to drink any more, I’ll
let you press your lips to mine,
which as yet are unprofaned by a
kiss.” A Mobetly girl says: “Pucker
up your mug, Jim, and let mo cop
per it.” Tho Dewit girl murmurs:
"Deati Geauge, smear me on the
gab.” A Carrolton girl sings : “How
puffeetly delightful it would be,
Chawles, if and you I were to in
dulge in a little osculat.ery exorcise.”
The Ctiillico girls whisper: “Old
Allmagooxleum, lick my chops or
I’ll think you real mean.” A Senaca
county girl veils: "Plaster mo a
good one, Jake, right under the
snoot.”
All this is what the Missouri girls
say, and is very steery. But how do
the Texas girls go about it? Why,
they sing out in dulcet tones : “Lasso
me, Throck, and let them tarantula
bristles of your’n brush the grease
off under ray nose.”

The party of surveyors will consist
of Maj. Q. W. Maxson, and Messrs,
E. T. Smith. James Willis, Barlow

ent route to Geneva will bo run, de
viations from the road only being
made at the Rad cl iff e hill and in

of labor, tho railroad can bo built at
a very small cost. That the road
would infuse new life into our al
ready reviving town no one can
doubt, while the road itself cun he
built at such small cost as to make it
a very profitable investment. As

will be called and a proposition will
bo made to them and a feasible plan
of building the road submitted. We

with the great majority of Democrats
