A reconstructed negro in Peteraburgh,Va. recently pasted a cipher after the figure 2 on a two dollar greenback, and passed it on a Sussex county white man for a' twenty -dollar note. And yet Mr. Johnson would have us believe that the colored race is not • civilized enough to deserve citizenship. Lord William Lennox's "Drafts on my Memory" has a _new bon mot attributed to ,Sydney Smith.' In writing to a friend he said, "Unfortunately the houseis full of cousins—would they were once removed. A comic singer lately put himself up at _auction to the highest bidder, at Glasgow, and was "knocked down" for £335 for an engagement of four months at the White bait Concert Rooms. He went for a mere song. At President Johnson's levee on Monday • evening Mr. Johnson was dressed in plain black, with straw colored gloves. The popular anxiety just now is not to know the - color of the President's gloves; but to have him show his hand. A negro arrived in Providence last week :from the South, and succeeding in selling to - two persons of his own color, for $BOO cash in hand, an iron-bound box filled with • paving stones.

FORT LARNED, KANSAS, Maxchl44lB66. Many of your readers are doubtless aware that ever since the inhuman Chivington massacre (November, 1864) on Sand creek, the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians have been in a state of hostility, committing, by way of retaliation, frequent and continuous acts of cruelty and barbarism upon white emigrants hereabouts. These Indians have been pervading the extent of country lying between the South Platte and Arkansas rivers, and their hos tile operations have been directed princi pally to the South Platte. Smoky Hill and Santa Fe roads. They had _erected their lodges on Sand creek, and were resting in perfect good faith and security, under the assurance from the military authorities that no harm would come to them, when Colonel Chivington made the dastardly attack with a militia regiment from Colorado, killing twenty-eight men and one hundred and forty-two women and children? This was the commencement of our Indian war. The chiefs and head men of the Arapahoe and Cheyenne Nations then united to revenge this breach of faith on the part of the whites, and most terribly have they retaliated—and many are the speechless petitions now arising from hearthstones made desolate pleading that the recreant Chivington may et meet a punishment commensurate with his great crime. Fully conscious that these Indians had been badly treated, that, in fact, We were first to violate the treaty of 1829, the Govern ment, in October last, sent Commissioners into this country, who met a portion of the chiefs of these nations at the mouth of Little Arkansas, with a tender of liberal terms of peace, offering full remuneration for the lodges, furniture, ponies, (k.c., destroyed at Sand creek, renewing their annuities, and designating an ample reservation south of the Arkansas river. The chiefs present at this council accepted theh treaty, but alleged there were many hands of their nation who were absent North, arid with whom they could not get in communication through our troops in tervening, and who, unless informed of the trenty, would continue acts of hostility. Hence, the commissioners agreed that the Government would gather in these North ern bands to the reservation designated, andt at the suggestion of the Indians, re t.ommended to the Secretary of the Interior, Major E. W. Wynkoop, of the Ist Colorado cavalry (formerly of Philadelphia), to per corm this arduous and hazardous duty. Through doubtless the many acts of ras cality that are perpertated upon them by traders and others, the Indians agree in re carding white men as "mighty uncertain," say they have "forked tongues" and tell them lies, and place but little faith in any thing they assert. Major Wynkoop, though having lived with and held a command among them for many years, and from the tact of his always having acted fairly and squarely with them, "in fight or frolic," they set him dov.n, it appears, as a rare ex ception, knowing that the Northern band will have confidence in what he tells them. This brings me to later events. Major Wynkoop was detailed to this duty by the War Department, and with instruc tions from the Secretary of the Interior, arrived in this country some two months since. Through unremitting labor, with weather the most severe ever experien ced in this country, he succeeded in getting all the scattered bands to the reser vation, and on the let inst. convened a coun cil on Bluff creek, south of the Arkansas river, and about eighty miles from this post. Though unaccredited as a delegate to this novel Native American Convention, thither your correspondent repaired,together with about 60 cavalry, under command of Major Hiram Dryer, 13th infantry—an affable gentleman and "first class" soldier. At the council Major Wynkoop, through his interpreter, Uncle John Smith, made a long practical speech to them, setting forth the many advantages that would accrue through a resumption of their former friendly relations and warning them that the government would never again tender like liberal concessions. He concluded with: "While I myself was formerly a mili tary commander in your country I thought I understood you, and was always your friend. I commended your good deeds and chastised your evil doings. I never told you a lie, and in that way gained your con fidence, which lam proud of. Such being the case, it is hardly probable that I would attempt deceive you now. I ask you to agree to and abide by the terms of the treaty, and promise you that it will result in your future happiness and welfare." Big Head and Medicme Arrow responded, acceding to the terms of the treaty and expressing the hope that the whites would not again be the first to violate it. All the chiefs and head men then came forward and signed a paper, prepared by the Major, agreeing to "firmly and strictly abide by and adhere to the letter and spirit of the said treaty." Now, Messrs. Editors, "once upon a time" (some years back), when lost in the Rocky Moun tains, I devoured with avidity._ the hind quarters of a favorite bull-dog, but believe me, I have never since had a "hankering after" viands of that description—hence at the feast which followed the council on this occasion I bestowed my last plug of tobacco upon an amiable Indian who volunteered to eat my portion. He enoyed the dinner, the joke and the tobacco hugely! Dog is a rare and favorite dish with the aborigines and is alone served up on great occasions. In accordance with the rules of hospitality you must either eat it or furnish a substi tute—for "Grief will not drive him away 1" A young lady 15 years of age, named Amanda Fletcher, was procured from the Indians by Major - Wynkoop. She was cap tured by - them near Fort Halleck, in Au gust last while on her way with her pa rents toldaho. The mother was killed, but the father and two brothers are supposed to have escaped. Some three years since the family emigrated from England, but re cently resided in Minersville, Henry county, Illinois.

Death of A Distingtqlhfd English Dip matist. Information announces the death of Sir Wm. Gore Ouseley, at the advanced age of sixty-seven years. Thirty years of service in diplomatic capacities on this continent made him familiar to most Americans, and his careerintereating to all. The New York Herald says: Sir William Gore Ouseley was born in 1799. He was the son of Sir William Gore Ouseley, well known tor his Oriental attain ments. His narrative of the mission of his brother, Sir F. A. G. Ousely, to Persia, in 1810, and his works.on Eastern antiquities and literature, are a - well-known mine of Oriental and classical learning. This Bar. oust Ouseley became very celebrated through the success of this mission. An uncle of the late baronet served for many years in India, was pro fessor of Persian at Haileybury, and was latterly serving as interpreter to the British authorities at Paris. A cousin, Rev. Sir Frederick Arthur - Gore Ouselsy, is M. A. and Musical Doctor of Oxford University, being a large pecuniary, as well as scien tific and literary contributor to the promo tion of the art. The mother of the deceased was th 4 grand-daughter of Sir P. E. Irving, Governor General of Canada. • The late baronet was educated for the diplomatic service, and at a very early age became attached to the Stockholm mission. This was in 1817. He became attached to the Washington Legation in 1825, where he remained until 1830. He was next appointed acting secretary of legation at Brussels, during Sir R. Adair's embassy, and subse quently at Rio Janeiro, at which court he resided for several years,as charge d'atfaires. In 1814 he was named plenipotentiary at Buenos Ayres, and in 1845 special minister to the States of La Plata. Lord Aberdeen said, in his instructions, "to open up the great arteries of the South American conti nent would be not only a vast benefit to the trade of Europe, but a practical, and per haps the best, security for the preservation of peace in South America." By his en deavors to carry out this policy, and pro tecting British subjects, Sir W. G. Ousely provoked the tyrant Rosas; but had his re ward in the applause such conduct earned from all classes. Addresses from the British and French residents at Montevideo were Presented to him when recalled -by Lord Palmerston; while not less than eight hun dred native Montevideans, the elite of the community, tendered thanks for his ttforts to preserve the national independ ence. His exertions for the promotion of commerce particularly deserve mention, now that what he recommended so strongly, as to opening the rivers, has been ratified in respect - to Paraguay, he having, in 1846, sent the late Sir C.:Hotham to Aasnmption to treat with President Lopez, and projected a commercial league between the States of Paraguay, Entre Rios and Uruguay. On the accession of the Derby administration, Lord Malmesbury despatched Sir C. Hot ham to Assumption to complete the work in which he had previously been employed; and, feeling how much was due to the origi nator of the same design, obtained for Sir W. G. Ouseley the Order of the Bath, in acknowledgment of services to commerce and humanity during his Platine mission. In 1857 Sir W. G. Ouseley was appointed Special Minister to the United States to set tle the Clayton-Bulwer treaty question, so long a subject of discussion between the Cabinets of St. James and Washington. It was thought at one time that a solution of this problem had been arrived at by the treaties negotiated in 1856_ .-„tween Senor Don Victor Herran, the Hondiflras Plenipo tentiary, and ,Lord Clarendon, on the one band, and LordiClarendozi and Mr. Dallas on the other, providing for the cession of the Bay Islands to Honduras,relinquishment ot theßritish protectorate of Mosquito,ac. But, clogged with conditions obj ectionable to Gen. Don Santos Guardiola, President of Hon duras, and also to the Cabinet of Wash ington, these treaties were not ratified. It being, however, of the highest importance to arrive, without further delay, at a thorough understanding on the vexata quirstio of Central Ametica entanglements, the most expedient course was to accredit from England to Washington a special Minister of adequate professional status, qualified not only by his familiarity with Spanish-American topics to appreciate the full bearings of this subject, but also likely, from personal and other attributes, to render the exposition of his instructions directly acceptable to the head of the United States Executive and, afterwards to present the,results of such arrangements to the Cen kral,,American governments in the mode • calculated to insure their co-operation, • it William Ouseley was selected by LOld Palmerston. After visiting this country , he went to Central America. After completing his labors there he returned home, since which time he has remained quiet in England. Sir William was the author of "Remarks on the Slave Trade," "South American Sketches," and several pamphlets in connection with the social and political institutions of the United States. Sir William was married to an American lady, at Washington, in 1829. She was the daughter of Gov. Van Ness, of Vermont, and sister of Mrs. Judge Roose velt of this city. Large Fire in,Breadway—Aggregate Low; Nearly 060-,000. At 8.15 o'clock, last evening, a fire was discovered on the second floor of the build ing, No. 816 Broadway, occupied by Dr. J. E. Van Eisenberg, the celebrated oculist and aurist. The firemen were prompt in responding to the alarm, but they were too late to save .the best part of the second and third stories, two rooms on each floor being completely destroyed. Those in the third story were parlors, and were fitted up in the most sumptuous style, the carpets costing , $3,000 when laid down. All of the furniture, mirrors and carpets in the splendid suite of reception rooms used by Dr. Rimenberg were damaged beyond re pair. The aggregate loss on furniture is estimated at $50,000, which heavy loss is covered by insurance in the following com panies: Morris,. Lenox and Tradesmen's, $5,000 each; Baltic, Pacific, Astor, Atlantic, Stuyvesant, North American and Mer chants, $10,500 each. The damage to the building, the property of Mr. Thomas T. Sturgis, is estimated at $lO,OOO, and is fully covered by insurance. The flames were first discovered by Dr. Eisenberg, who informed our reporter that while going up stairs to his dinner, he no ticed smoke issuing from beneath the sur face of the rear stairs, but supposing that it came from the furnace, he gave no heed to the circumstance. Soon after the smoke be came so dense that he became alarmed, and 01TR WHOLE COITATIMEtY. It is evident, therefore, that some further pressure must be brought to bear upon Louis Napoleon before his promises with regard to withdrawing from Mexico will be observed any more than hive been his pro mises to Withdraw from Rome, and his oath as President. Our citizens are aware, some of them dole fully aware, that for a great while counter feit fractional currency has been freely cir culated in this city. Within the past two or three months, several persona have been arrested upon the charge of passing this bogus money, but the real criminals have escaped detection. Officers Bligh and Gal lagher„.detectives in the city police depart ment, yesterday captured a party of Ital ians, whose examination will doubtless lead to a full understanding of a-ll the late 'coun terfeiting business. Carlo Latranza, Fran co Martinelli, and Francis Guiddochi were arrested at the house of the latter's father, Sewani Guiddochi, in the alley back of the Botel de Raine. The principal of this triad, Carlo Latranza, has been known to our detectives for some time. He has passed through Louisville about once a month for nearly a year past, and now all suspicions.that the object of his frequent visits southward was to diffuse counterfeit money are pretty surely confirmed. Hewes in the service of a band of counterfeiters in New York, and his duties were to circulate the redundant issues of the "bank" in New Orleans, and other remote parts of the coun try. Latran za, no doubt, performed the vil liaisons work assigned him to the entire sat isfaction of his masters, who, it is not im probable, are to-day respected as nabobs in the great metropolis, while their pliant tool, Carlo, lies in our city jail, with far gloomier prospects:before him that ever yet darkened his vision. Latranza had the misfortune to lose his left eye. This deformity made hint noticeable, and our lynx-eyed detectives never forgot his appearance after they first saw him. The police authorities of New York had vainly tried to apprehend this man, to enable them to ferret out the nest of counter feiters in that city. A taint trace of him was lately discovered. Information was received here by tele graph a few days ago saying that Carlo La t ranza would arrive from New York, on his Iv - ay to New Orleans, on Saturday last. Thereupon, the above-named officers, Bligh and Gallagher, received the necessary or ders and went to work. The pre-announced visitor came in ahead of time. He arrived on Friday evening. This didn't disconcert the detectives in the least. They were on his track, and never lost sight of it until the successful finale. The now comer soon fell in with his friend Franco Martinelli; they were inseparable. Once upon their trail, the detective officers kept the strictest espion age over them—in fact Officers Bligh and Gallagher never lost sight of the men from the arrival of Latranza t on Friday, up to his arrest yesterday evening. After fol -IDWing the two men in all their perambula tions about the city for two days and nights, Officers Bligh and Gallagher at last located them at the house or Sewaui Guiddochi, as above mentioned. Completing all their outside plans, and taking the shrewdest precautions, the de tectives made a descent upon the house yes terday, and seized Carlo Latranza and Francis Martinelli. When the officers en tered the room the two men - were seated on the bed-side, right and left of the young woman, Frances Guiddoehi, sister-in-law of Martinelli, and sweetheart of Latranza. The men were, according to pre-arrangement, taken in custody by officer Gallagher, who carried them to abousenear by,searched their persons thoroughly, disarmed them, and then removed them to the First street Police Station. Officer Bligb, having remained to watch the manceuvers of the other inmates of the house, was soon rejoined by Galla gher. They instituted a search of the room, and, underneath the bedtick upon which the two men and woman had been sitting, a small trunk was found. Before it bad been opened, quite a sensa tion " brewed." The young woman falsified about the ownership of the little trunk, and the old man, her father, who appeared to be honest, rebuked her with frowns and angry gestures. Officer Bligh resolved to b satisfied; and so took a butcher knife and burst the lock asunder. Thepreolous trunk on running ap stairs to his daughter's room he found it on fire. It is supposed that the Baines were generated from the hot air re gister becoming overheated.—N. Y. Times. MEXICO. Secret Convention Between Napoleon and Maximilian--Me - xico Governed from Paris--Maximilian a Puppet in Napo leon's Hands, [Paris Correspondence of the N. Y. Herald.] Pettis, March 12, 1866.—There has just come into my hands, inthe most mysterious manner, a most important document, which I hasten to send you. It is an authentic copy of a convention, as yet kept secret, which was recently con cluded in Mexico between Louis Napoleon's Minister there,M. Dano, and Maximilian's secretary of te Treasury. It seems the number of the French officials detailed to carry on the so-called government of Maxi milian is so great, and their term of service is to be so prolonged—namely, for five years from the 29th of September last—that it has become necessary to arrange a special con vention to fix their rate of pay and prescribe their position. In fact, it is evident the whole machinery of administration in Mexico is only a branch of the administra tion at home or in France. This convention plainly indicates two noteworthy facts : Ist. That Maximilian's so-called govern ment is essentially a French government, inasmuch as it is not only sustained by French bayonets and French money, but also administered by French officials sped ally detailed for that purpose from their de partments at home, and for the prolonged iervice of five yeasa. 2d. That the occupation of Mexieb by Louis Napoleon is to be prolonged, not withstanding all his assurances to the con trary. There could be no right or excuse for such manifest interference in the ad ministration of Maximilian's government upon any other hypothesis, and it is evident that Maximilian could not, with any regard fur his own dignity as a monarch, permit these encroachments on the administrative branches of his government for a single moment, if he was not a mere creature in the hands of Napoleon, being used for his purposes alone. EXTENSIVE COUNTERFEITING. A Kiang or Italians Captured. [From the Louisville Journal of March N.l on opening, displayed two admirably stuffed sides. Packages of "virgin" counterfeit currency to the amount of four teen thousand dollars exactly were the plethoric contents of the trunk. When this discovery was made, the officers could see as far into the tunnel as the men that picked it. The young woman, who had sought to bide the evidence of her sweetheart's guilt, was escorted to jail, leaving the old man to take care of the house. But there was a little side-play to this drama. Our police men were advised that Latranza had left New York with fifteen thousand dollars in spurioiiefifty-cent currency. One thousand dollars was missing. The appearance of the packages in thei trunk allowed that others had been taken out recently. As confirmatory of this, the wife of Martinelli, a sister of Francis Guid dochi, left quite secretly on the Nashville train yesterday morning. She was followed to the depot by Officer Bligh, and her movements before and after she got upon the, cars satisfied him that she had the thou sand dollars in her possession, and that, entirely ignorant of the surveillance over herself or the other parties, she was going to Nashville to dispose of the counterfeit to accomplices there. She was permitted to go unmolested, as her detention might have frustrated the greater plans of the officers. After the arrest of the others, the police au thorities of Nashville were notified by tele graph of the woman's coming, and she will be sent back immediately. The money found in Latranza's possession was fifty cent scrip, of two different issues, carefully put up in packets of one hundred dollars each.. The counterfeiting is done in the "very best style of the art," and the notes cannot be told from the genuine byoneman in a hundred. Officers Bligh and Gallagher merit the greatest praise for the ingenuity and sleep less energy they manifested throughout this important affair. Their extraordinary suc cess has not only saved this and other com munities from being flooded with a danger ous counterfeit, but will in all probability lead to the tracing up andeapturing of other heretofore undisturbed operations in spu rious currency. We cordially thank these efficient detectives in behalf of the public. They are entirely worthy not only of the good name they already bear, but to be called Javerts, after Victor Hugo's model detective of Paris. A Novel Breach of Promise Case—Dam. ages at $30,000. [From the Shelbhm (Mo.)',Gazettej An exchange says a curious case of breach of premise has just been com menced, and is now pending in the Circuit Court of Buchanan county, Missouri, in which $30,000 damages are claimed. It ap pears that a young lady 'm Franklin county, Pennsylvania, said to be exceedingly hand some as well as rich, by the death of her father in the spring of 1363, became sole heir to some $140,000 worth of property, mostly in money, bonds apd stocks. At the time of her lather's death she was only twenty yearsof age, and under the rigor ous laws of the Keystone State, was not permitted to enjoy her wealth in her own way, only through a conservator of a guar dian, until she became twenty-one years of age. Before the anticipated period of her happiness arrived a gentleman, formerly from the State of lowa, engaged in the great field of petroleum speculation, became smitten with her charms. Although not her equal so far as regards this "world's goods," but being a gentleman of unim peachable character and excellent business capacity, his love (if such it was) was recip rocated by the charming heiress. He urged an immediate marriage, and as an excuse for such haste, sought to convince her that her guardian or conservator was misapplying her property to his own use, while from the hour he should become her husband, he would be her legal guardian anti protector, and she would not then be fieliendent on the will of a "pernicious banker." She heartily agreed with him in everything, but persisted in putting off the marriage, saying "it would only be a few months efore she would arrive at her ma turity, and as soon as she became of age the marriage would take place"—in fact the time for the wedding was set. The intended hus band continued to engage in profitable spec ulations, all the time writing her the most endearing letters, which she has now in her possession, and apparently praying for the day to arrive when he could call her his own. As soon as she arrived at the age of twenty.one years, and competent under the laws of Pennsylvania to transact business in her own behalf, she immediately em ployed the services of a coupleof lawyers in Franklin, and "executed certain instru ments in writing," placing her property be yond the reach of any person she might mar ry for all coming time. This was done secretly, no one knowing anything about it except herself and her attorneys. This happened only one week before the time set for her marriage. The intended husband in the meantime suc ceeded in,acquiring quite al fortune by spe culation. • The wedding garments were ready, and all due preparation for the happy occasion was made. Just three days be fore the time set for the wedding, the tended husband, by some means mistrusted she had made disposition of her property in such a way that he could not come intoim mediate possession of it. He at once searched the records and found Rail true, whereupon he immediately wrote-his lady love a note saying he was engaged in some enterprise which required his immediate attention, and begged of her to • have the marriage ceremony postponed for a short time. She was grieved at the request, but consented. Before the next time set for the marriage to take place he discarded her. Although she was nearly ' crazed over the terrible blow inflicted, with true womanly courage she remained true and faithful to her obligations. In the fall of 1864, having met with great pecuniary success, the once intended husband removed froka Pennsyl vania to St. Louis, where he remained till last summer, when he married an accom plished lady in that city, and afterwards re moved to Buchanan county, in this State. His "discarded friend" in Pennsylvania immediately moved to St. Louis on hearing of his marriage to another, and has been watching him closely until a short time ago, when she commenced suit against him in Buchanan county, for breach of promise, laying damages at thirty thousand dollars. It certainly promises to be an interesting controversy, as neither party is disposed to yield or compromise. The lady has retained Hon. James F. McCormick, of Pennsylvania, Col. Geo. W. Stephens, of Hannibal, Missouri, forn:terly of the firm of MrCormick and Stephens, in Pennsylvania, Arthur B. Wilson,••Esq., of Hannibal; Missouri, and formerly resident of the same town of the defendant in lowa, and one of the leading lawyers in St lnds, It is reported the defendant has retained the services of Hon. L. T. Peckham, CoL Simon Metcalf, and one of the leading lawyers F. L. FETHERSTON. Publisler DOUBLE SHEET, THREE CENTS; of St. Joseph.

Oddie, an Artist,Shot Dead by a Friend—The Latter Surrender* Himself to the Pollee. [From To-day's Zv. Y. Times.) A distressing affair occurred yesterda3r morning, in the bar-room of the Canton House, on the corner of Fourteenth street and Fourth avenue, when Mr. William B. Oddie, an artist, was shot dead by a friend who was carelessly handing a pistol. It ap pears that about 10 o'clock .Mr. Oddie was sitting at a table in the hotel reading a newspaper when an intimate friend of his, Mr. John La Dew, came in, being slightly under the influence of liquor at the time. Greeting those of his acquaintances present, Mn. La Dew engaged a moot black to clean his boots. While the boy was thus employed, La Dew drew a small Derringer pistol and brandished it in a very careless manner, saying something about putting a bullet through Mr. Oddie's hat. As he playfully aimed the weapon at his friend it exploded„ and the ball took effect in .Mr. Oddie's head, just above the hat-band, killing him almost instantly. The bullet penetrated to the brain, and lodged at the back of the right eye. The unfortunate gentleman, on re ceiving the ball, slipped from his chair and expired without a:groan. La Dew seemed horror-stricken at the terrible reality of the catastrophe, and exclaimed, "He is dead." For a few moments great excitement pre- vailed in the premises, and quite a crowd was attracted to the spot by the report of the pistol. Acting on the advice of his friends, Mr. La Dew proceeded to the Central Office of the Police Department, accompanied by Mr. Henry W. Genet, es-County Clerk,. and n surrendered himself to General Supenten dent John A. Kennedy. That official, after hearing the particulars of the case, gave him in charge of Detective Elder, to await the result of the forthcoming investigation by Coroner Gamble. Cosse, of the Fifteenth Precinct, assumed control of the premises where the tragedy occurred, and soon after Sergeant Miller, of the same Precinct, arrived, who directed that the body of the deceased be removed to the Station House in Mercer street. Those present at the time of the oc currence were required to register their names and addresss at the Station House. Yesterday afternoon La Dew was handed ,over to the custody of Captain Caffrey, of 'the Fifteenth Precinct. ' Coroner Gamble, being notified, pro.. ceeded to the Station-house, accompanied by his deputy, Dr. Shaw, but after empan neling a jury he adjourned the inquest un til 2 o'clock this afternoon, and directed that the prisoner be remanded to the cus tody of Detective Elder. The deceased was about 45 years of age, and was, in former years, well known in art circles as a landscape painter. He had been twice married, his first wife beinz a daughter of the late llyndert Van Schaick. His studio was in Twelfth street, near Uni versity place, where he resided. Mr. La Dew is understood to be a gentle.. man of wealth: . He is about. 30 years of age, and a native of this city, He had been for some years on the most intimate terms with deceased, and he is overwhelmed at the tragic result of his reckless conduct. A. large circle of the friends of both parties have been thrown into a state of profound gri :f by the occurrence. CONFLICT between the civil and military authorities has_ just occurred at Carlo, 111. D. C.
