A BEAUTIFUL IYKCKIFTIOY.
Char leston Journal of Commerce:—
The following beautiful tribute to the
memory of Albert Sidney Johnson is
from tho pen of Mr. J. B. S. Dimitry,
son of Professor Alexander Demitry,
of Louisiana. The author read it in
manuscript before the writer of this
notice, with a modesty and rever
ence due to the sleeping hero, and
placed it where it was afterwards
round. Mr. Dimitry at the time was
one of the staff of the New Orleans
Time*. Several years ago he follow
ed the profession of journalist in
New York, but is now filling a pro
fessor’s chair in one of the oolleges
in Central America. As ayoung man
he gave promise of a distinguished
career. It is hoped Central America
will furnish a wide field for its ful
fillment:
IN MBMORIAM.
Behind this stone is laid for a season,
AlbertSldnky Johnston,
A General of tho Confederate States,
Who fell at Shlloah, Tennessee,
On the 6th day of April,
A. D. 1862. '
A man tried in many high office*
And critical enterprises,
And found faithful in all.
His life was one long sacriflo of interest to con
science.
And ttpt life, on a woful Sabbath
Did he yield a holocaust to his country’s need
Not wholly understood was he while he lived.
But in death his greatness stands confessed iu a
people's tears!
Resolute, moderate; clear of envy,
Are not wanting iu the finer ambition which
Makes men great and pure—
In his honor—lmpregnable!
In his aimpUcity sublime—
No country e’er had a truer son—
Ns cants a nobler champion!
No people a bolder defender—
No principle a purer victim
Than the dead aoidier who sleeps here!
The cause for which hejperlahed—is lost,
The people for whom be fought—are crushed,
The hopes in which he trusted—are shattered,
The flag he loved guides no more the charging
lines,
But his fame,
Consigned to the keeping of that time
Which happily is not so much the tomb
Of virtues as its shrine,
Shall in years to come fire modest worth
To noble suds,
In honor the greatest Captain rests,
A bereaved people mourn him,
Three commonwealths proudly claim him.
And history shall cherish him among those
choicer spirts
Who, holding their cosciencen unmixed with
blame
Have been in all conjunctures.
True to thamselves, their country and their Ood.
The Way Outlaws are Hunted In Texas.
{From the Gahrcston News.)
Carizza, Tex., Oct. 1,187 G.
Capt. L. H. Me Nelly, San Antonio:
Owiog to heavy rains I was unable
to reach the Carizza until last night.
On my arrival I learned that a party
of desperadoes were camped on the
Espanoza Lake, ten miles north of
this place, and that another party
would pass the night at the Pendon
cenia. IsentCorporal Williams, with
ten men and a number of citizens, to
the latter place, and started with the
balance of the detachment for the
camp on the Espanoza.
I arrived within sight of the camp
about 12 o’clock at night, when we
dismounted and proceeded on foot,
leaving two men to guard the horses,
and a desperado named Nolicky,
whom I had captured on my way. I
discovered their camp on the bank
directly in front of us, and advanced
slowly to within twenty yards of
them, when two of them commenced
firing on us with their six-shooters.
We responded promptly, and a lively
little fight ensued, resulting in the
death of three of them and the
wounding of another in five places.
We subsequently learned from the
wounded man that there were but
four of them in the camp, the bal
ance of the party having left that
morning. After collecting their arms
we returned to our horses, where we
were informed by, the guard that
while we were fighting the horses be
came excited, calling their attention
from the prisoner, who took this op
portunity to attempt to escape. He
was ordered to halt three times, but
kept running and was fired upon and
The names of the killed were John
Martin, Jim Roberts, Geo. Muller
and Nolicky, all of whom were des
perate characters and the torror of
this country. The wounded man’s
name is Jim McAllister, who has but
lately joined the party.
Before Corp. Williams arrived at
the Pendencenia they had received
information of his coming and left.
Learning that there was a bad Mexi
can at Whaley’s ranch, eight miles
distant, he sent three men to arrest
him. The Mexican refused to sur
render and fought desperately, until
our men were obliged to kill him in
self-defense. There are numerous
bad characters in the country, but
they keep hidden in the brush, so
that it is difficult to find them.
King Fisher left about a week ago
with a large drove of cattle. Porter
is supposed to be with him. The
parties that were killed had about
fifty head of stolen horses and twen
ty-two yoke of work oxen in Thomp
son’s pasture, taken from Mexicans
on the Bio Grande. We will round
up the pasture to-morrow. Further
particulars by mail.
Fight with Indians.
Cheyenne, Oct. 10. Twenty-five
Indians attacked twelve men with
seven ox teams, 25 miles from Fort
Felterman. The fight lasted nearly
four hours. One white was badly
wounded, one horse killed. Two In
dians were seen to fall. Mr. Powell
states the Indians showed great
courage, and were strongly armed
with Winchester and army rifles.
Cheyenne, Oet. 10.—A cattle herder
forty miles from Fort Laramie, was
killed, scalped and his ears cut off.
NashvlUe Knees.
Nashville, Oct. 10.—Track in splen
did condition. The race for three
sear-olds5 ear-olds was won by Henry Owens;
filmistic second. Time, 1:47}; 1:49}.
The mile and a half race was won
by Whisper; Jack Shepherd second.

THE RO RTF'S ANSWER TO THE
POWERS.
No Armistice, blit a ftuicn*tmi
THE SULTAN WANTS PERMANENT SECURI
TY OR IMMEDIATE DOWNFALL.
London, Oct. 10.—A Reuter dispatch
from Cettinge says the Montenegrins
turned the positions of Mouktar
Pasha, and entered Boussa, and cut
him off from reinforcements.
A Reuter dispatch from Belgrade
says Oen. Tehernayeff telegraphs
Prince Milan that Oen. Antide on
Saturday occupied all the villages in
Topleaze valley.
A dispatch to the Times from Bel
grade says the Bosnian chiefs have
held a meeting and rejected the au
tonomy Bchemeas totally inadequate
to meet the merits of the ease.
Cossacks and Russians arrive in
Servia by hundreds daily.
The Paris correspondent of the
Times telegraphs; “The Porte’s
first reply to the powers is a dead let
ter. The Porte’s second reply is
now officially known, I believe, and
his reply has been communicated to
me. Its important points are regard
ing the aruiistico and the adminis
tration of the Christian provinces.
The Porte refuses to accept the
term “armistice,” because it can’t
recognize Servla os a belegerent, but
oonsents to a suspension of hostili
ties, the duration not to be fixed, pro
vided the Servian army shall not
meanwhile be reinforced by foreign
er.
As to the second point, the Porte
accepts the proposals of the powers
in principle, but proposes to give all
Its provinces the same liberty with
out distinction. The Porte considers
it absolutely ruinous to introduce
different treatment into the provinces.
It is willing to place the reform un
der tho collective guaruuty of Eu
rope.
The Porte sajs: “Either you wish
I would take my place among civili
zed States, and aro willing to consol
idate by mediation to all my subjects
the same laws, privileges and sover
eignty, or you persist in exaggerating
division because you only wish to de
lay, not prevent my destruction. If
the latter is the case, I prefer to
struggle now. at the risk of perish
ing, rather than resign myself to a
slower but inevitable death.”
A dispatch to tho Daily Telegraph
from Constantinople reports that an
armistice for one month has been
agreed to. This announcement must
be received with cuution.
The same dispatch states the Grand
Vizier resigned on hearing that
England’s lust proposal was
intended as an ultimatum,
A BATTLE PROGRESSING.
London, Oct. 10.—A Reuter dispatch
from liagusa yesterday says the Mon
tenegrans attacked Meakha I’aeha’s
main force and an engagement is now
proceeding. It is reported the Mon
tenegrans are gainingiadvantage.
A Reuter dispatcli from Paris says
the news that the Porte has already
accepted an armistice is considered
premature.
Special telegrams to nearly all the
London papers, however, speak
hopefully of the speedy conclusion of
an armistice, for which ull the pow
ers are represented ns continuing to
work in unison.
London, Oct. 10.—A Reuter dis
patch from Belgrade says the Servi
ans, yesterday repulsed the" Turks
in an effort to cross the river Driua

THE LOYAL MIITimiX CLAIMS.
DON CAMERON WON’T SIGN.
Washington, Oct. 10.— It appears
that the Secretary of War delays
signing the awards of the Southern
Claims Commission, on the ground
that it is not his duty, and he don’t
care to bo troubled with it. The
question] will be referred to the At
torney General. As the case stands
now, Cameron will not sign, and the
Treasury Department will not dis
burse until he does sign. It is un
certain when tho Attorney Gener
al will have time to decide the mat
ter.

Steubenville, 0., Oct. 10.—Indica
tions are that Danford, Republican
candidate for Congress in the Six

12 o’clock from 621 townships and
wards show gains forfßarnes, Repub-
lican candidate for Secretary of
Stato over the voto for Governor last
year of 7,910, for 8011, Democrotio
candidate 0,896, a not Republican
gain of 1,014. This includes two
wards of tho city of Cleveland and
three precincts in Hamilton county.
If tho rest of the State shows the
same relative gain the Republican
majority in the State will roach near
10,000. If, however, Cuyahouga
countxgives a total Democratic gain
of 2,000, as claimed, and Hamilton
county should give also further Dem
ocratic gains, their majority will bo
out down to about what it was lust
year.
The county shows Republican
gains, while the cities of Cincinnati,
Cleveland and Columbus show Dem
ocratic gains. It should be borne in
mind that the comparison is made
with the vote of last year when the
Republican majority was 5,500.
This is what tho Republi
can Committee claims, while the
Democratic State Committoe olaim
the State by a larger majority, Re
turns received, howevor, show tho
result so far to be as given first above.
Each candidate for Secretary of State
runs ahead in his respective county.
In some counties Barnes was scratch
ed on account of his temperance prin
ciples. Little can be said of mem
bers of Congress save probably the
defeat of Banning in the Second
District, by Mathews, and Hurd in
the Toledo District, by ex-Oovernor
Cox.
Cincinnati, Oct. 11.— Tho Enquirer
claims Hamilton county by 2,000 ma
jority. The Commercial concedes to
the Democrats, but claims a Repub
lican majority in the State. The Ga
zette shows a Republican not gain of
1,000 from 350 voting places. Tho
Democrats aro claiming Hamilton
oounty by 2,000 majority.
Columbus, Oct. 11,1.30 a. m.—Re
turns from 710 townships and wards
of Cleveland, all of Columbia and
Dayton shows Rarnes gains 9,915,
Bell’s gains 8,255.
In Ohio, last fall, Hayes beat Allen
5,544.
Julia I). Leo Sentenced to he Shot to
Death.
Salt Lake City, Oct. 10.— At Bea
ver, Eutah, to-day, Judge Boroman
passed sentence on John D. Lee, for
participation in tho Mountain Mead
ow massacro nineteen years ago. In
doing so, ho called uttention to the
atrooity of tho crime; tho inability
heretofore of tho authorities to pro
cure ovidenee; that tho conspiracy
to murder was widespread; that Lee
was finally offered up as a sacrifice
to popular indignation, but that
others equally guilty might hereaf
ter expect punishment. Tho pris
oner having the right under laws of
the Territory, to choose death by
hanging, shooting or beheading, and
having choson to be shot, was sen
tenced to be shot to death, on Janu
ary 26th, 1877.
