The Richmond Dispatch of yesterday Rives
the following particulars of the recent encoun
ter between Congressman Porter and a police
man in that city, which has been mentioned by
telegraph:
Hon. Charles IT. Porter, who represents this dis
trict In Congress, had a little difficulty on Broad
street yesterday with Pat. Woods, the well-known
detective officer of this city. Mr. Woyds says that
Porter was too familiar with him, even going so far
as to eall him 'PaU" The result was a fight. In
which Mr. Porter came on" second best, The par
tics were separated by Chief of Police Poe, who op
portunely came upon the scene; but in the mean
time a crowd had collected, and the negroes seemed
disposed to take the part of their representative,
nttd were with difficulty Induced to disperse. Mr.
"Woods was suspended and placed under arrest by
order of Mayor Ellyson. Mr. Porter's Injuries,
though disfiguring, are not serious. Mr. J. M. Hum
phreys, who was with Mr. Porter, came In for a
share of the blows Inflicted by Woods' list, but suc
ceeded in making good his retreat.
Since the above was written we have heard Mr.
Porter's account of the aflatr. He says that, wait
ing down Broad street with Mr. Humphreys, they
were met by Woods, who asked them to take a
drink. They declined, whereupon Woods became
belligerent and pitched Into Porter without flue no
tice of his intention. At any rate, It seems to be
conceded that Pat was "too many" for his oppo
nents, and was declared victor on the second round.
The parties will be before the Mayor this morning.
We should state that the Mr. Woods spoken of above
is not the one who was an officer In Mayor Cha
hoon's police.
The Coming "Mill" Between McCooIo and
Allen.
The St. Louis Democrat of Monday has the
following:
Mike McCoole and Tem Allen, two of our
most noted pugilists, have at length concluded
to try their metal once more In the prize ring.
The champions met Saturday afternoon at
Coyne's saloon, on Third street, near the Post
Office, for the purpose of coming to a definite
understanding about the matter. An immense
crowd of bruisers and loafers rushed Into the
room, and so blocked it up that Mr. Coyne
found it necessary to peremptorily order them
out. The crowd being dispersed, the pugilists,
with a few friends, eat down at a table, and in a
few minutes agreed upon the arrangements for
a-mill. Each man put up $500, and the follow
ing articles of agreement were signed:

clared that if be lost this fight he would retire
from the business.
THE INDIANS.
Red Cloud'H" T.lttle Npeerh-What lie Pro
poses to Way to the "Ureal Father."
The Indian Chief "lied Cloud," whose arrival
at Washington is expected to-day, was Inter
viewed at Omaha on his way East, and gave the
following as the piece which he proposed to
speak on being introduced to the "Great Father"
at the capital:
"Great Father: Thousands of miles away, where
the sun's last light falls on the big hills, I have left
my people to come and look my Father in tne lace,
As the light makes us see all things around us
clearly, so may the Great Spirit make oar talk plain
that we may understand eash other, and that over,
the councils shall be as brothers who have met to
smoke the pipe of peace. Father, I have been told
that yon are great and good. Listen to me, my
Father, and let your ears hear one of your children
who comes from the wigwams of his people with
truth in ms heart and no lies upon nis nps,
I have made many, treaties with your com
inUsloneiH, and they have promised mauy
times, but have never kept their promises, aud 1
have now come to sec;tny ureal rather myself, so
that we can understand each other and make no
nrnmlaea that wa do net mean to keeD. Ther have
told yon that I am a murderer, but I do not under

driven me away from my country the only couutry

could any living man on this earth stand Buch a

try. War di wn your fences and steal your cattle
and junr nogs; would you siana ry aui
have us' wurd to say? No. Father, 1
kuowyou would not in all the troubles of ray
people the white man has been the first aggressor.
V aluer, we are not cowards, we know that you are
great and ibkt you can cruah us with your mighty
p wer, hut we bcltave that you are good and that
you will protect your chtldren when they come to
vou for what they believe Is theirs. . Tbeyaakyou
to listen to us, to do by us as a good father should
do by Lis children, and give our people the aaau
runce tt at the ttet Spirit has smiled upon us, and
that the lireat ranter is the Indians irieua sua tne
Indian's prouscttjr."
The lieecat Oatrea Is Colorado-Homo of the
hclall.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gatttte, writing
frr in -The Plaius."of eat May 22. says: Letters
tukt received bring intelligence of the most formida
ble lndisu raid that has yet occurred on the border.
Two hundred Cheyenne Indians suddenly appeared
mi I Mke hint lull, on the Hue of Mie Kauaas
in, -ui loiiiruad. and simultaneously a deacsut
was niade by savages on over forty ,
mties cf the border, from Elt Carson wctt
ward. TWO Wilts from Carson, thirty j
head of mole were run off and one man killed and
scalped. Klght miles to the west of Carson an engi
neer named Dudley was killed and a team of horses
raptured. At the same plat e a severe fight occurred
later between the Indians and another party of
white men, resulting In the death of two white
men and the capture of a mule-team. Mr. Kaw was
wounded. Twenty miles west of Carson a battle
was fought with the savages; one white man killed
and one wounded. The savages got no stock.
Five miles from the last-named place another
Oght occurred, In which one white man
was killed and one wounded. At Willow
Springs a train was attacked and
scventy-flve mules captured. One white man was
killed and four wounded. The Oght at Lake Station
was severe. One white man was killed and three
wounded. It Is thought that the whole number of
white men killed will foot up twenty, and the
amount of stock captured by the Indians four hun
dred head. Some thirty or forty white men were
wounded, several of whom will die. Such In brief
Is the statement of another terrible Indian outrage.
The details would fill celumns of your paper, but I
have no time to write them. It is gratifying to
know that the Indians did not escape unpunished.
Dead bodies of savages were left at every point
where they attacked, showing how bravely our
people defended their lives and property.
SAN DOMINGO.
The Additions to the Treaty mt Annexation.
The New York Herald's Washington corres
pondent gives the following as the text of the
additional article to the treaty for the annexa
tion of San Domingo, whleh was sent in to the
Senate by the President yesterday:
Additional article to the treaty between the Domi
nican Republic and the United States, of the 29th of
November, 1869, for the annexation of that republic
to the Vnited Mates:
Whereat, Pursuant to the ninth article of the treaty
between the Dominican Republic and the United
States, of the 9th day of November. 186, for the
annexation of that republic to the United States, It
was stipulated that the ratifications of that Instru
ment should be exchanged within four months from
its date, or sooner, if possible; and whereas the said
time has expired, but the parties being still desirous
that the said treaty should be carried into full effect
have determined to extend the time for the exchange
of the ratlUcatlons aforesaid. For this purpose the
President of the United States has conferred full
powers on Hamilton Fish, Secretary of State, and
the President of the Dominican Kepubltc has con
ferred like powers on Joseph Warren Fabens ; and
the said plenipotentiaries having exchanged their
full powers, which were fouud to be In due form,
have agreed upon the folio wlug additional article:
The time for exchanging the ratifications of the
treaty between the Dominican Kcpublic and the
United States of the 29th of November, 1SC9, is
hereby extended to the 1st day or July next. In
witness whereof the respective plenipotentiaries
have signed the present article in duplicate and
have affixed thereto their seals. Done at Washing
ton, the 14th day of May. 1870.
HAMILTON I'IMi,
Joseph Warren Fabens.
Prospects of the Treaty.
The Hurald's correspondent further says:
''As to what will be done with the treaty,
now that it is urged upon the Senate again by
the President, It Is not easy to ascertain, uare-
lul Inquiry does not show mat a change ot
opinion has been experienced by any of the
Senators w&o tormeriy opposed, it, ana yet
some of its friends claim that it has "gained
strength," and will ultimately ba a success. It
seems prooaoie mat so soon as tne eanuwicn
islands treaty is got out oi tne way an eiiort
will be made to consider St. Domingo."
DISASTER.
A Woman and Mix Children Burned to Death
at unyion, unio.
The Davton, Ohio, Journal of Monday gives
the following particulars of the recent terrible
disaster In that city:
Mr. Moeller says that ne returned nome on Satur
day night between 10 and 11 o'clock. Ills family had
already retired, and he went immediately to bed.
Tne suioon was aireauy ciesea, auu mere was no one
stirring about the house. There was no sign of tire
anywhere. About 12 o'clock he arose to get some
water ior one oi tne cuiiuren, auu ne nearu a noise
under the stairway, where shavings and chips were
kept; but supposing it was a aog, wnicn maue mac
his retreat, he thought no more of It.
The tirst intimation Mueller had or lire, nis wire
aroused him by screaming, "The house Is on fire !"
The boys four in number who slept In the garret,
had first discovered ttie lire, and ruHiiiug do wu stairs,
awakened their mother. The room was already
tilled with smoke, se that they could scarcely see
each other. Mrs. Moeller ran to the front window,
and raising It, called to her husbaud to throw out a
bed, and Jump out and catch the children.
The two t-idest ooys, rrauic ana iienry, agea re
spectively 16 and 13 years, Jumped out of tne win
dow while their parents were planning how to save
themselves and children. Then Moeller got an
other bed-tick, throwing it out of the window, and
telling nis wife to tnrow toe cnuaren aown to mm,
lie Jumped out, but the sash fell down on his wrist,
and he with difficulty got It loose. It was by tuts
accident that he was hurt.
The room above was already stilling when Moeller
got out of the window, aud the suddeu closing of
the window deprived the wife and children of wnat
little air they could breathe, and they must have
been suffocated almost instantly all except the
babe, which Mrs. Moeller held at her breast.
The Bremen round tne Domes near tne aoor,
where, it Is believed, they were smothered while
attempting to make their escape by the stairway.
The bodies were very little burned merely scorched
In the face. The smoke and name were taken Into
their lungs, causing Instant death.
"LITTLE MAC'
How lie Bysnpnthlzedlwlth the Ceremonies on
uecoraiion it ay.
General McClellan having been invited to par
ticpate in the decoration ceremonies at Provi
dence, it. i., on Monday, was unaoie to do pre
sent, bat wrote a letter in the course of which
he said:
I have been honored by the receipt of several In
vitations similar In Import to that contained In your
letter, and have been obliged in every Instance to
decline them, for the reason that my business en
sagements were of such a nature as to render It Im
possible for me to find the necessary leisure time.
I regret that the same necessity still exists, and that
I cannot have the pleasure of accepting your Invi
tation. I trust that you will permit me to
say that there is no lack of sympathy on
my part with the object of the dedica
tion, but that, on the contrary, I regard
with the deepest lLterest an efforts made to peruetu
ate the memory of the patriotism, devotion and gal
lant deeds of those who offered up their Uvea for the
salvation of our country. We cannot pay the debt
we owe them, but we can show that we recognize
the obligation, and we can perpetuate their me
mory as the highest example for the Imitation of
our children. This generation can leave no better
heritage to Its successor than the names, the deeds
ana tne example of those brave men who cheerruiiy
offered their lives for their country, and who proved
that long years of peace had not extinguished or
diminished the heroic spirit which animated our an
cestors. No one can foresee what trials Providence may
have in store ior our couutry in the far distant fu
ture; but be they never so severe, Just such monu
ments as that you now erect will then serve to
kindle the courage and patriotism of the Deooie. and
will remind theiu that there were those among their
ancestors w ho thought It well to die that the nation
might live. So reminded, our children la the hour
tf trial which may Heaven avert! cannot fall to
act as our dead aud living soldiers have done.

Report from the Iplrrnte to the Reformed
Church,
The following report of the delegate to the Re
formed Church was read by the clerk:
The undersigned, a delegate appointed by the
General Assembly to attend the sessions of the
General Synod of the Reformed Church, meeting In
Philadelphia In June, 1809, respectfully reports that
he was present at the session of that body, and re
ceived a cordial welcome. The synod manifested
In every way Its hearty sympathy with our Church
In its faith and In its work for Christ, assuring us of
its earnest prayers for our prosperity, and of Its Joy
in our un'ty and peace. To the suggestion of your
correspondent that a closer unity would be agreea
ble to the views and feelings of our entire Church,
the synod expressed Its decided conviction tnat the
way was not jet prepared, and that each Church
must labor in its own sphere for the glory of our
common Lord. A. Gosman.
The report was accepted and placed on the tile.
Communication from the United Presbyterian
Church.
Dr. Hatfield presented a communication from the
Assembly of the United Presbyterian Church, re
cently in session at Louisville. The communication
Is In reply to the overture of a comraitiee lately ap
pointed by this Assembly for the purpose of pro
curing a better state of feeling between the North
ern and the Southern Churches. The Louisville
Assembly In this communication declines to send a
delegate to this Assembly, on the ground that there
are radical differences between the Churches which
render friendly correspondence impossible.
The Communication from the Houthern Church.
The following is the abstract from the minutes of
the Assembly at lioulsville which was brought back
by the delegation from ths Southern Assembly :
Louisville (Ky.), May 21, 1870.
Rev. E. F. Hatfield. D. D., Stated Clerk of the General
Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United
States ot America.

May 27:
'the Committee on Foreipm Correspondence, to whom
was referred tlio overture for reunion Irom the Old

the city of Mew York ; and also the proposition from the
Vnited Assembly 01 tne nortuern rresbyterian Uliurcli,

four elders be appointed by tuis Assembly, to confer with
a similar committee ot tneir Assembly in respeot to open
ins a friendly correspondence between the Northern and
boutbern Presbyterian Church," your committee recom
mend tne following answer to he returned ;
Wbateverobstructions may exist la the way of cordial
intercourse between the two bodies abovenamed, are en
tirely of a public nature and involve grave and funda
mental principles. The Southern Presbyterian Cliurou
can confidently appeal to all the acts and declarations of
all their Assemblies, that no attitude of aKKression or
hostility bus been, or is now, assumed by it towardstha
Northern Chnrch. And this General Assembly distinctly
avows (as it bus always believed and declared) that no
grievances experienced by us, however real, would justify
us in acts of agRrexsionoraspiritof malice r-r rec&liat, i
ai:ini-t any branch of Christ's visible kinydok.. We 10
pr.aieo, uieroiore, in auvance "i mi 01 .cvuum, u ex
ercise towards file General Assembly Nurtn, and the
r-lniri-hi-H represented therein, such amity aa fidelity to
our principles could under any possible circumstances
permit. Lnder this view the appoiutmunt of a committee
of conference might seem wnolly unnecessary; but, in
order to exhibit bofore the Christian world the spirit of
conciliation and kindness to the lust degree, this Assem
bly agrees to appoint a committee of conference to meet a
Bimilur committee already appointed by the Northern
Assembly, with instructions to the same that the ditti uni
ties whuh he in toe way of cordial correspondence be
tween the two bodies must be distinctly met and removed,
and which may be comprehensively stated in the following
particulars:
1. B.ah ihe wings of the now United States Assembly
(Northern) during their separate existence did fatally
complicate themselves with I be State, in political ut to
rn n res deliberately Drononncoa year alter year: ana
w hich, in our judgment, were a sad betrayal of the cause
and kingdom of our Lord and Head. We believe it to be
solemnly incumbent upon the Northern Presbyterian
Church, not with reference to us, but before
the Christian world and before our Divine Mas
ter and Kins, to purge itself of this error, and
by public proclomation of the truth to place
the crnwn once more npon the head of Jesus Christ aa tbe

methods which, in our judgment, involve a total surren

rnth over arnii hum long in ths balance. The United

of interpretation of tbe standards, and must come at

C" these flung testimonies, we are now the sole lurviv.

compromise ot this sacred trust to enter into public and
official fellowship with those repudiating these testimo
nies; ana to do tins t-xpressiy upon me ground, aa si a tea
in the preamble to the overture before us, "that the terms
of reunion between the two branches of the Presbyterian
Church at tbe North, now happily consummated, present
an auspicious opportunity for the adjustment ol such rela
tions.'' To found a correspondence profitably upon this
idea wonld be to indorse that which we thoroughly disap-

Southern Church were terms which that Church
could have accepted without Injury to Its avowed

to express my profound mortification and regret at
ibis temporary uereat. i ne indictment taia aown in
the reply of the Southern Church Is not true. We
can prove It from the records. But there Is not a
better Assembly - in tne united states than this
Southern Assembly. If you could have heard, as I
did, the eloquent debate which resulted In the paper
wnicn nas oeen read to you, you wouia nave Deen
surprised.
Hut we must not te sorry tnat tne overture has
leen made. The result will come. Let us be friendly
In word as well as In deed, and in the end all un
friend feeling will melt away.
Prof. J. t.lN ourM hoped tne day will not long be
deferred before this union Is consummated. I be
lieve that Almighty Cod may give It In charge to the
beloved Church to be the Instrument In this work.
It In not a question ailestlng an addition to the
Church, but affecting the whole land. Through this
Church the fall, true, hearty union of thislaud Is to
be consummated. I hope no brother will go home
saddened by the tenor of this report. I submit to
the Assembly that they will not forget, in the future
work of the church, to sustain and strengthen these
sections of our land, these enterprises In the border
States,
Kev. Mr. Lyle said he felt himself able and willing
to meet any of them or all of them on their great
issues which thvy have presented in this paper.
While we cannot come into that discussion, yet I say
I am ready and anxious to snow to them the Chris
tian spirit, aud I believe this expression on the nart
of the Southern Assembly Is not the expression of
tne Noutnern people, i wouui not nave you to lower
that flag, because If you do lower your standard yon
destroy us who are lu this conflict down there. I
like the paper because you stand with dignity on
what you believe and what you have been compelled
to fight fur. I do not wish you to lower this
stpndard. Your work has not failed, and this paper
which comes licfore you Is the highest evidence in
the world that you have touched the heart of the
Southern people.

heavier assessment be made on wealthy presby
teries than on the poorer ones.

There is no material change in the condition
of trade generally, aid the money market con
tinues in a condition of plethora from which
there is no Immediate prospect of relief. There
is an increased demand for call loans on specu
lative account, but it is neutralized by the falling
off in the business demand. In no department
1b there any hope of reaction until the opening
of the regular fall season, and lenders are
anxious to place at least a portion of their
heavy balances at moderate rates. The bulk of
business to-day is in the shape of stock loans,
some transactions being made as low as 3 per
cent., but 4 per cent, is the average figure ob
tained, as heretofore. Discounts are nominal
and money is to be had anywhere on good paper
at 5 per cent.
Gold opened at 114, advanced to 114, and
