THE WAR IN ARKANSAS.
Details of the Victory at Maysvilie— .1 Tirl*
uruph Against Vest Odds.
About a week ego we published a brief telegraphic ac
count of General Blunt’s victory over the rebels, on the
22d?nlt., at Meysville, Arkansas. The Leavenworth Con
servative furnishes some details. Maysville is almost
directly west, and some twenty-three miles distant from
: Bentonvilie, immediately on the boundary line between.
Arkansas and the Indian Nation. It is Beven or eight
'miles south of tho northwest oomer of Arkansas! From
there some four miles in a southwesterly dlreotion, over
an open, beautiful prairie, the enemy were found at the
edge of the woods, the site of an old United States milt,
tary garrison long since abandoned. The Conservative
Btys: ; .•
Gen. Blunt had with him no other force but three
companies of the Kansas 2d, that had happened to be in
the. lead, and bis body guard of some 25 or SO men.'
Soon tbe other companies of the 2d arrived upon the
ground; the whole regiment numbering not to exceed
■POO: men all'told. They were dismounted to act asi'n
fsntry, Gen. Bludldirecting the movement in person, and
esconreged the men, promptly and efficiently seconded
by Col Basett and all bis offices b. The regiment had
witt it two little mountain howitzers, and the men were
aimed with Harper’s Perry tilths, without bayonets.
Bnboldened by the very small , number of our people
present! the enemy brought out his artillery clear of the
woods, and commenced blazing away at them industrious
ly, fcnt a very few hundred yard* Intervening between
the'two lines, and nojobstacle in the way. Of course,
tbe cempiiment was returned promptly and with a will
from, the two little howitzers,' and'thus the matter went
on for some time. ....
Finally, impatient of longer delay, the word was given
for the gallant 2d to' advance (on, foot, of course,) which
it did with a rush, Sting as it went straight up to the
muzzles of the enemy's guns, driving his cinhonlers
frt m them, seizing the fonr brass pieces and bringing
them in triumph from the ground. Close at hand lay the
furors o! the enemy; probably not less than 7,000 strong,
concealed, mostly by;tbe .woods. The head of our own
anxiohily-loohed for column, the 11th Kansas, the Bth
Kart as, Babb’s .and the Kansas- batteries, Ac., were: still
bsck'thne mites or mire towa-d Maysville; while the
rear of the column—Weir’s regiment aod others—were
farther back, perhaps eight or ten miles off. New
orders were sent for the advance to come up rapidly,
•wl ich it did accordingly— had been doing, in fact,’ail the
-time since ills dawn of day. The 6th, he tided by the gal.
hint Col. JudECD, came galloping over the four miles of
prairie between Maysvilie and tbe point where the fight
wee geing od ; - tbe horses of Babb’s battery under trot,
and the men of tbe splebdidnew 11th- Regiment at dou
ble quick, under the lead of Swing, Moonlight; and Plumb,
until (hey were nearly exhausted, and made the distance
in admirable time—Moonlight himself, by the way, on
foot at tbe head of the men
Arrived upon the ground, Babb’s battery was placed
in position withthe customary promptitude ofits youth
;ful commander,'atid at once the six'tnnulhs of the fierce,
spiteful pieces were heaid bathing-away at tbe foe, who
had retired into the woods:—giving forth music that was
truly inspiring. The 11th and the 6th were formtd into
line of battle on the right of the poeilion occupied by the
2d, and dose up to the woods. Soon, tbe’lst and 2d In
diana Regiments; GolerWattles and Phillips, arrived, and
were placed upon the left, with orders from - Gsn. Blunt
to sweep tbe woods in a wide'circle in that direction and
find the enemy—-the 6tb and llth advancing slmulta.
neonely onitbe right. Ail went ahead, and some efclr
miehing ensued at different points, but no considerable
force ef the enemy was overtaken Again they.bad fled.
"What tbo casualties of yesfe'day’« affair have been is
not yet known. Four of the Kansas 2!. slain in the at
tack upon tie battery captured by it, were buried a few
hours later in tbeopen prairie, ueder three or four email
. quaking atp trees, a short distance north of the battle
ground. Several others were more or less severely
wounded—seme of tl era perhaps to die, and others to
rtcover. ■■ ■

Tiie Evacuation of Maryland Heights—
Col. Ford Blameless.
The Columbus .Capital. City Fact of the 4th irat.
says: Much having been said about the evaluation of
Maryland Heights by Col. T. H. Ford, commanding the
3d brigade, and stationed on the heights, it ought, ih
justice to that officer, to be known that the testimony
before the commission disclosed the .fact that, from the
6th day of September, the day on which Colonel Ford
assumed command, until the 13th, when he evacuated,
he insisted night and day that the attack on Harper’s
Ferry would be made through" Bolomoa’s Gap, the only
approach to the mountain, and that be also insisted upon
the fortification of said gap as the only means oi defence
against an overwhelming foe. Colonel Ford ordered
Oapt Pott’s battery to that position; and insisted that it
should remain there; and; notwithstanding said battery
belonged to his own regiment- and brigade, it was
peremptorily ordered, away.by a superior officer, in the
face of the foe, leaving Colonel Ford without any de
fence w batevef, except cavalry and infantry.
On Thursday, the llthof September.'Oolouel Ford was
attacked at Said Gap by two divisions of the enemy, the
one under the command of General McLaws, the other
Gen. Andoreon, numbering at least 22,000 men, with fif
teen pieces of artillery, and notwithstanding he was
shelled bnt of the. position .on that afternoon, and the
enemy moved eight full raj intents on the creßt of the
i mountain, he maintained his position until four o’clock
on the,following Saturday, .when the enemy, in full view,
were flanking him oh the right and left, with two full
brigades, when, by the positive order of Colonel Miles,
Colontl Ford teiraed the order to evacuate.
Perhaps it would be well for the couotry to know that ;
Colonel .Ford’s brigade only numbered 1,143, of which
37-5 were cavalry that could not be brought-into action,
leaving him but 760 men for the field,-out of which 200 or
300 bad to be detailed for picket and guard duty, and at
no rime was Colonel Ford able to bring more; than 450
men into action on the field. In addition to ad this, it la
interesting to learn that the testimony before the .com
mission discloteis the fact that Colonel Ford was ordered
to.evacuate three several times: verbally, and at length,
by written order, to leave before the order to retreat was
. given. That Colonel Miles, his superior officer, ordered
the retreat at eleven o’clock, and Colonel Ford objected
most" positively- and peremptorily, affirming that, if he
was reinforced, as he should be, he could and would hold
the Heights against all the powers of the enemy. It also’
. turns up in. the-testimony that Colonel Miles was with
Colonel Ford on Maryland Heights nearly all day on
Saturday ; Colonel Ford in command, but Colonel Miles
ordering and directing; and that Colonel Miles and Colo
nel Ford crossed the.ponioon bridge together, at the time
,of the evacuation, as the column was retreating, and that
on crossing the river they mot General White.

„ And hereit Is that the newly elected members fe the

most important services to the President, the army, the
people, and the Union, through the informal conference
which we have suggested. Let such a conference be
promptly called together, end let it deolare, for tbsiin-.
Formation of, the people of the South, that these late
Not them elections do not mean any separation of the
Union upon any/ terms,jior any compromise' with the
rebeliit a, except the’comprdmises of the Constitution of
the United states, but that, while / the conservative
masses of the North will thus, sustain the war to
secure the submission of the South, it is not their
wish or purpose to make the war a savage crusade,
for the extirpation'-of slavery, and we arc sure
that good results will follow. T,he President will thus;
be encouraged to repudiate tbe Abolition radicals alto

The steamer Gladiator, from Bermuda, has taken to
England sundry rumors in regard to the proceedings of
Commodore WUkeß in the, West Indian waters, and the
news caused'some excitement on ’Change in London and
Liverpool. It was alleged that Commodore Wilkes,
with his squadron, bad blockaded Bermuda, and refused
to withdraw his ships at the request of the Governor.
This report lacked confirmationand received but little
credence, but nevertheless it had'its effect.
The Amp and Navy Gazette says:
“Admiral Wilkes, of Trent notoriety, having been
ordered by the Federal Government to proceed to the vi
cinity of the Bahama Islands, with a'view of cutting off
all intended supplies for that quarter for the Confederates,
the British authorities have very wisely, in the anticipa
tion of any complication whloh’ might arise from the ex
cess of energy, well known to exist ih Flag Officer Wilkes,
ordered reinforcements to be despatched to the admiral
in tbe West Indies. . :
** We believe that tbe Xmerald and Galatea are under 1
immediate orders to proceed to Bermuda; whence they
will be sent to any quarter where Sir Alexander Milne
may deem their presence necessary.’’: '
: The Bermuda Gazette of October 7th says:
“‘We understand that Admiral Mifne, with a large'
force, is expected here from Halifax' about the middle 'or
end.of next month. We are, however,.disposed to think
that recent occurrences srifi expedite the arrival of his
squadron.” -.v;..,., j
Tbe captain of the' Gladiator reports that having

Wilkes intended ; the captnre of the Gladiator; he ob

when the - Gladiator was boarded by a boat’s crew and
tbe captain was ordered to go on board and report him

to obey the order; and was allowed to proceed. The

lord Lyons’ instructions.
The correspondent of the Manchester Guardian of
October 23, says : • , -
‘' I do not think that the question of recognizing the
South was ever projected as a subject for practical con
sideration at the Cabinet council appointed for to-day.
There may indeed have been Borne desire on the part of
certain ministers to make a suggestion that an armistice
for six months ; might be concluded by'the belligerents,
finch a suggestion would be, of course, made in the in
ti rests of humanity, with the view of stopping the ter
rible effusion of blood But, in addition to this, it was ;
probably conceived that an armistice of six months
might have the effect of bringing both patties to their
senses, of making them regard more calmly and practi
cally fhe new,situation created by the events of the past
fifteen months, end indisposed to resume the bloody wort
of war.; ' :
“I have reason to believe, however, that this idea ef.
suggesting an armistice it not regarded witkgreatfavor'
in some very influential quarters. In the first place,
the general disporition shown to ns by the Federal Go
vernment does not warrant the expedation lhatit wouid
be favorably received. It is even possible that an answer
might be given eo intuiting as to place us iu au embar
rassing position between -sitting still and bearing ft or
committing omselvea to a war. In the next, an armis
tice, without something beyond it. could nut be expected
1o do much goed. I have no doubt that Lord Lyons
vdll go bad: not only without authority to take any
serious step like the recognition of the Souths but with
out encouragement to make any approach to a sugges
tion re the Northern Government beyond what may be
implied in;a general regret on the part of England
at the prolongation of what her statesmen, as well as
her people, have now pronounced to be a useless con
test." ...
Wilmer A Smith’s European Times of the 25th Octo
ber gives the latest reports as follows: :
“Greatimportance was attached to the meeting of the
Cabinet on Thursday. Members from all parts of the
country, and even from the continent, hurried to Boh-.
don. All the ministers were in the metropolis: but the
Premier, and he did riot think it' necessary: to leave his
snug Quarters in Hampshire. In the ccu.'eeof. the morn
ing nolice was sent to each Cabinet Minister that the
•meeting was postponed, and conjecture;has been busy
ever since to account for an act so unußual. According
to one version a split exists on the American question,
arising -"out of the conflicting views put forth by Mr.
Gladstone and Sir G. O. Lewie; according to another and
more probable surmise, there.: is perfect unanimity, and
the dittrmination respecting affairs in America is to
Iti events run their course
“ In a matter of deep importance like.this, some previ
ous'consideratiOD, before the Cabinet met, was no doubt
deemed desirable, more especially as Lord Lyons was on
the point of returning to Washington, but he it not , it
now appears', to be the bearer of any definite policy on
the part of the British Government. ,He knows exactly
what the sentiments of its leading members are, an!
'those sentiments we presume, from the course which has
been taken, are exactly these put forth by Sir George
Oornewall Lewis', wbetberin opposition to Mr Gladstone,
or with bis concurrence, matters not, so long a 3 there is
rio outward or visible sign of disunion.”
The Army and JGmiy. Gazette confirms these views,
TtsaygT'"'”
“It may be inferred the. Government is not inclined to
depart from the, policy it. Has hltherto pnrsned in refe
rence to the contest between the South. aiiAHorth—not,
from the fact that the, Council did not. sit, but rrum the"
expressions of the Ministers Individually and from the
q x, ow f g find Mr. Gladstone, and the
wntten elnoidauv™, .„f nj g meaning, which have been
published by the latter—Entriorajr.jrons may neverthe
less be able to represent to the American Government the
views of the British Ministry as to certain cantingesicies,
and to indicate changes of policy which may be forced on
them by the advent of certain events. The Union as it
was can never ho restored, bitt at the tame Hsae tha

GLADSTONE'S EXPLANATION.
[From the Manoheßter Guardian.]
On the 15th October a letter was addressed to Mr-
Giadstoneby a gentleman carrying on business, in this
city, corajJaiDing that the language used by, the right
honorable gentlc-man in, his speech at Newcastle-upon-
Tyne, with reference to the American war, had misled
not only himself, but the “ whole commercial communi
ty of Manchester.” He has received the following re
ply: , ■

October 18, 1882.
Sra: I am directed-by the Chancellor of the Exche
quer to act nowledge your letter of the 16th, and to! state
that be agrees with you as to the grave responsibility at
taching to all public declarations made by any of the sid
visers of the Crown.
He holds himself fully responsible for having declared
his opinion at Leith, nine months age, to the effect that,
if the Southern States of America were in earnest, the
struggle on the part of the Northern States was hopeless;
and again at Newcastle, last week, to the effect that the
Confederation which has been formed under Mr- Jefferson
Davis has shown itself to be sufficiently supplied with
the elements which make a nation, and with the will and
power to defend its independent existence. Hecannot,
however, be responsible for, the inferences which, from
your letter, yon appear to have drawn from his state
ment ; the more bo as they might, he thinks, have been
checked by attention to other portionsof his declarations
concerning America on .-the same occasion, in which he 7
referred to steps that might, under conceivable circa m
stances, be taken by the Powers of Europe. And, gene
rally, hd "desires me to remark ; that to form opinions
upon questions, of policy, to annonnoe them to the world,
! and to take or be a party to faking any of the steps ne
cessary forigiving them effect, are matters which, though
connected together, are in themselves 'distinct,' and
which may be separated by intervals of lime longer or
shorter, according to thB pa» ticular circumstances ef the
case. As yon inform the Chancellor of the Exchequer
that youfimpiessions Bre shared by others, I am to add
that yon are at liberty to make whatever use you think

Captaih Hall's Visit to the Esqttiihlmx.'
: The recent return of Captain G. f; Hall, who started
for the Arctic regions soma two years since, insearohof
traces thkt might have been left west of Davis’ Straits by
Sir John Frankllh anfl his iU-fated expedition, has ex '
cited great Interest'ln the scientific world on accbnat of
the valuable discoveries the' returning explorer olaims to'
have made, if not in relation to the main object of his'
voyage, at least in connection with celebrated predeces
sors of the unfortunate Franklin.
We are pleased to furnish' the readers [of The' Pruts
with the following outline of Captain Sail’s interesting
report to the Sew York Historical Society, delivered a
fewdayseinceinthemetropoHs:'
The expedition, consisting of the bark George Henry,
0. O. Bnddiogton, master, and the schooner Rescue’
sailed, with picked crews and eighteen months’ provi
sions, oil l hC 29th of May,' 1860, from New London,
Connecticut,Mr-.Hal, being quartered on. board the
first-named and larger vessel The liberality of some
public-spirited citizens of Ohio, Connecticut,■ and our‘
own' city and State, iuoioding the “ father of recent
Amrrlcan explorations in' the Aretlo seas,’? Mr. H Grin- '
m i), had furnished the necessary means? and the gentle
men undertaking the enterprise set out with high hopes
of success. The vessels touched at St. Johns, New- :
found!end, and tailed from'tbereagain in August, 1860,'
panning their perilous northward rente through dense
and continual fogs and tempests, into Davis’ Straits,
and finally reached a portion of Frobisher’s Straits
beyond Northumberland Inlet, and just within the Arctic
Circle, but some five hundred miles to the west and
southward of the main scene of Kane’s adventures.
At this point, and in a narrow bay tending to the
northward from Frobisher’s Straits, a terrible gala,
which lasted for tome days, In December, destroyed
the Rescue of glorious-memory, and the small craft
In which Mr Ball had Intended to pursue his fares,
tigatione. Moreover, that gentleman was assured by
ibe resiJent Esquimaux that the season was too far,
advanced for his contemplated tour to the interior;
and sb he had implicit faith in the truth of theic repre
sentations, he reluctantly consented to remain whore
he was. This circumstance, however, as the sequel
proved, ltd to Important and consoling discoveries, which
may tnrn out to ho the forerunners of a satisfactory : so
lution of tho gloomy problem of Franklin’s fats. Owing
■ to various causes, the detention, which was to have last
ed only until spring, was prolonged for nearly two years
and, in the meantime, the stock of shipprovisionsrunnlog
low, Oapt. Hall and his party were thrown upon the gene
rous hospitality of their neigbnora, ths'Efquimsux, . At
this point In his narrative, the Captain took occasion to
pay an eloquent and feeiingtributetotheFimpleand kind;
bearted people of those frozen shores. Truthful, brave,
honest, sincere, hospi’abie, they were the perfection, he
said, of a happy and nncorrnpted race They had no
laws and needed none. During tho two years he passsd
among them be had never seen a qnarrel, and in many
traits they were msdels for the imitation of more favored
cemmnr ifies. The Captain referred with great emotion
to the death, on the way out. of the Esquimaux guide and
interpreter, who had been present at a meeting of the So
ciety two years ami a half ago, and whoso he had taken
.with him as a companion and mouth-piece am mg his
own people But the poor fellow did not sur
vive to rt ach his nattvo chore again. He expired at sea;
and was consigned totbedeep, regretted by allinthesx
prdition as an irreparable lohs The Captain, from this
episode, fnrnsd to a most elaborate descristion of the
vioinity of Frobisher’s Straits, which he became con
vinced was but a great hay. and Dot a channel extending
through the . main land. The .result of his exp’oratious'
during the two years’ detention may be summed up as
amounting to the accurate examination of one thousand
= milos of sea-coast,hitherto, hot, little, if at all,known;
the identiScation of Prince William’s Band ; hut.- most
of - all.- the discovery of: the fate of the lost party of Fro
hither’s men, who, perished In that neighborhood'two
hundred years ago, and the traces of their habitations,
their labort, and their attempts to escape.
By careful attention to tho conversation of the Esqui
maux, of whom he came in contact with some ,three
hundred encamped near the George Henry, where she
lay locked up in the ice. and a labored compl ation of
; their various traditions, the Captain, to' his great de
| light, at'length djs'mvfrod.on the Island of Kai lu
nak t or White Man’s liondr.as.it was c o'led in the
language of the natives, indubitable traces of the five
■men who were lest by Frobisher in that neighborhood.
These men, as the old sea chronicle states, had been
sent in a boat from Frobisher’s vessel to land an
Esquimaux. Their commander had; enjoined upon
them, from motives of prndenco, not to touch the
mainland, but to leave;the Esquimaux upon one of the
many adjacent,islands They, however, disobeyed him,
and went to isrrojtritta, where they were capiftred hr
the natives. On a subsequent voyage Frobisher heard
that they were still alive, but failed to rescue them. la
the meantime, they bad established themselves upon the
smell islet now called Kad ln-ndk, after them, and there
endeavored to establish themselves by the artsofjflviliied
life.; The island, said Cant. Hall, mb literally Teeming
with marks of their presence—pieces of brick and wood,
coal, trenches for fresh water, and one for a ship-launch,
with many other Indications, convinced him that ho bad
sslvrd a problem of imoortant interest In this ho .was
confirmed uponbisretornhome byaperusalof Hakluyts
Collection- of Arctic Voyages, of which the rare old oopv
he then exhibited to: the audience was the property of
Hon: Georgs Bancroft, nnd tho only one, probably, in the
coun try, with the sole exception of that deposited in the
Astor library. Tbs Captain’s description of his repeat
ed and protracted interviews with the natives in relation
-to this subnet, and particularly his conversations with
. 00-ki-yox. i-ui-noo, (the White Bear.) a dame more than
a century.of age. was graphic and vivid in the ex
treme. Bhe bad heard ail about the five white man
and Frobisher’s fleet from her parents, and tbid how they
built a ship and were completing it for departure, whan
they fell victims to the severity of the climate, and,' in
Epite of the kindest care from the Esquimaux, miserably
perished on the little island Hera the captain exhibited
pieces of brick and broken bottles, covered with black
moss, which, in the sure air of that region, must have
taken centuries to accumulate. He also ehowsd a semi
circular mass c-f what be had at first considered very
fine iron ore. but afterward concluded to be some of Fro-,
bjsber’s ballast.: '
Bnt all other attractions ef the evening were thrown
into the 7 shade by the appearance of the Esquimaux fa
mily, consisting of E birn-bing, the husband, and Tuk
oo- li too, 1 he wile, bf aring, in. her srms little; Tuk-en
lik.e-te; (the Butterfly.) their Esquimaux progeny.
They were ushered in toward the close of the lecture,
the heat of the room precluding their earlier presence,
clad SB they were In thsir native costume of seal and
reindeer skins. In fact, the hitter air outside, which
made the teeth of all Gotham chatter last night, was a
rather sultry sort of a temperature for these ohiidren of
the glaciers. As they took their seats gravely and mo
destly in front of the platform, every eye in the audience
was turned on them with' Interest and pleasure. The
father looked like a South Italian in North Foie uniform,
his peculiar straight black hair, hwarthy complexion,
broad nostrils and high cheekbones upon an ample .
Ireedth of face, completed the resemblance to a wild
Sicilian, with this difference; that his stature was about
the Esquimaux average, i e, onlf five feet three inches
His fair consort was a most blooming, buxom young
dame of twenty-five, some three inches shorter than
bersponse. After the enormous expansion and fullness
of her face, bare neck ant hare shoulders., bad ceased to
be a novelty, the mild, amiable, even ladylike expreS'
sion of her features begsn to charm, and when shetnmsd
her small bnt sparkling black eye upon her Arctic flower
—I he baby on her breast—the beholder began to discover
a very pretty and encaging woman, on whose clear, broad
brow innocence And goodness Fat enthroned in a light
kindled at Nature’s fadeless shrine, Tho.warm, heart
felt eulogy which Oapt. Hail had just passed upon these
noble people, and bis declaration that this lady of
the Nor’hwas. tbe.best Eeqyimaux interpreter living
even surpassing the farHambd Pedersen—gave p'qapncy
to the interest felt by all, and with one accord the audi
ence applauded .vehemently.; Both bnshand and wife
were evidently greatly pleaded at this reception, and
young Butterfly testified his approbation by suddenly
waking up, taking a,hearty stare at theyenerable sages
who were gazing at him; and then vigorously applying
himrelf to those soothing exercises In .which bantlings

wont.to indn'ge at every available opportunity. Ma
ternity and infancy, bright links that reach to Heaven,
whether they cower beside the glistening glaciers of the
Poles, or pant upon the burning sands of the Tfopios! -
The husband Captain Hall represented to be one of
the hardiest and moat intrepid hunters of the far North—
a men of iron, who could endure unscathed hardships
that would quickly destroy any one of-Enropean race—a
hunter who had steod for three days and nights mo
tionless on the ice beside a Eeal hole, and yet, al
though unsuccessful, had returned to his homo cheer
ful and undaunted. In fact, he, (the Captain,) had;
nev®, fOfn a desponding Esquimaux.. Their, ability
to go without food or drink was’ astonishing. Ha had ;
known them to do bo for weeks, and heard of one in
,stance whereaparty of these .dauntless sesl-hunters were
floated offfrsm the mainlandon apackofice, and conld
Dot return for thirty da’s—during .which, time they had
! not a morsel of‘food, let they sur.viyedi.although even
•their faithful and wenderfnl dogs auccaosfced to the p *ngs
cf huncer. [Applause 5 ] : .
The Captain having, upon hia- offer, answered many
! qnestiors from the body of the house, and expressed Ms
thanks to an Englishigentleman. who took occasion to
disclaim any jealousy on the part .of his countrymen to
ward A me riepri explorers, presented for examination the
curious relics be bad brought from., the scene of his dis
covery. He had also a number of lilnettated books in
the Esquimaux; tongue, all the work of Esquimaux at the
Danish settlement of Holsteinbargh. To these tatter
people bo paid a high, tribute, declaring them to ho the
best educated.iqass he had ever seen or read, of, there

MB. BUdHANAN’S “EXPL INAHON”—A MIS
STATEMENT OORREOTED —ln Bnchanan’s recent
pronuncismiento occurs this passage : “In the General’s
opinioD, ‘a smaller evil (than these intestine wars)
would be to allow the fragments of the great Republic to
form themselves into new Confederacies, probably font.’
He then points out what ought to be the boundaries
between the newUniors; and,-at the end of each, goes
so far as to indicate the cities which ought to be the
capitals of the three first on this ride of the Bocky
Mountains, to wit, ‘ Columbia, South Carolina, Alton er
Ontecy, Illinois, and Albany, New York,’ excluding
Washington city altogether. This indication of capitals
contained in the original, now in mypoasession.isouri
onsly omitted fa the version published in the National
Intelligencer.” The Intelligencer pays, in correction
of ibis misstatement,: «The designation of (capitals’
which be refers to did appear fa the version published in
the National Intelligencer , but, as we did not recur ta
curfileß to verify his sta'emeut when we Inserted his
reply, the error escaped deteotlon.”
FEARFUL EXPLOSION OF A LABD TANK.—
On Tuesday eveping, at the packing house of Pnleifer &
.Williams, fa Cbicaio, a large iron lard-tank exploded
with a terrific force that threw it from the first floor
clear through the other four stories above, to the roof,
wrecking that portion .of the hnildfag, and descending to
nearly its former location. Another full tank stood near,
which was thrown from its foundation, and its contents
spilled.,:. A t the time of the explosion there was no one in
the building but the engineer, Patrick Lynch, who
escaped with his life, but was severely scalded about ths
face and body. • The building was closed at the time, and
the effects of the concussion upon it were such that a por
tion of tbe west wall sprung out reveral inches beyond
the windows in the upper stories, and the whole edifies—
a very large one—was terribly shaken.. No satisfactory
reason for the explosion can be given, at present, owing
to the absence of tbe engineer. The damages to the
building wilt nwws .i.cnn Thn.ioHa mlard .alone is es-
