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 TURKISH SITUATION. 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 near ltatschar. 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. Steamer Burnt, ana Liven Lost.

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.
