Washington, D C., Aug. 18 —As- sistant Secretary of the treasury Yanderlip, who has been hearing ome suggestions from different di- netions on the possibility of limit- ing the issue of bonds toan amount below $200,000,000. the full issue mthorized, the idea of the sugges- tion being that the termination of the war removes the necessity for nore money than will be proyided by the customs and enlarged inter- ul revenue receipts, smiled when he was asked about the probability of the adoptioa of the suggestion. “It isa very pretty suggestion,” Mr Vanderlip said, “but I do not believe it will ba adopted. The treasury has already accepted the han and agreed to furnish the bonds forthe subscribers. A part of the bonds have been sent out and others will follow. It is true there will be lus pressing need for money, as the dosing of the war will remove the necessity, but some large expenses tlready incurred must be met and some will continue for a while after hostilities are interrupted.” How t» Look Good.

Sheller, whe was riding a pouy, overtook the half breed at Chetopa and they traveled together the rest ofthe afternoon Night overtook them before they reached Hallowell, and they decided to camp until morning at a school house near the Wimp homestead Sheller who had traveled all day, and being tired, quickly fell asleep. This was the opportunity his com- panion awaited, and he proceeded to execute his purpose in a most fiend- ish and cold blooded manner. He first struck the sleeper over the head with a blunt instrument, expectiog to stun him, but the blow, though a severe one, only aroused Sheller., and he immediately began scream- ing. Hie assailant then cut his throat from earto ear, evidently with a dull knife, for, although the thorax was cut in two, the jugular veins were not touched, and, al- though Sheller retained conscious ness, he was unable to make an out- ery. The family of Mr. Wimp, on hearing the screams when Sheller was first attacked, went to the school house to learn the cause, but in the darkness could not locate the spot where the struggle occured, and, although Sheller could hear them, he could not speak to let them know where he was. The half-breed, on hearing the neighbors approach, hastily took his departure, without having secured Sheller’s money, which was no doubt his object in attempting to murder him. Left alone with that terrible gap in his throat and in mortal fear lest his murderous companion should return. Sheller began to crawl away on his hands and knees. Some time during the night he reached a farm- house about one half mile from the school house, and there being no one at home, he entered and crawled under a bed, hoping to bide there in case the half-breed should pursue him. Next morning one of the Wimp boys went to try and discover the cause of the cries heard the night be fore, and came upon a man’s hat ly ing near a pool of blood. ing the trail of blood, the young man readily reached the door of the house within which the wounded man had sought refuge, and not see- ing anyone, he called out, and was horrified to see Sheller crawl out from under the bed. He was too weak from the loss of blood to stand alone, and being unable to uttera sound, he signs indicating a desires to He made write. latter attempted to murder hi Sheller was put into a wagon and taken to the hotel at Hallowell, | where he was given medical treat | ment, and where he is now b |eared for, it being mecessary to s minister nourishment by means of a | tube in his throat.

Several northern regiments have been sent home. Yesterday there was a hospital train with 50 trained nurses from Phila- delphia arrived to take home the sick of the ist Pennsylvania. I think there will be a car leave here to- morrow with the sick of the 2nd Mo. C. Smith, who was sick with typhoid, has gone home to Kentucky on fur- leugh. George Carrithers is able to be out and will be sent home at once. Since the Government has taken hold of our Division hospital a great improvement is noticed and the boys are getting better care and treatment and the sanitary conditions of the camp are greatly improved, all the necessary tools, brooms, etc., being furnished, also anabundance of lime. Yesterday there was a big sham battle between our Division, under Gen. Sanger and the 2nd Division, under Gen. McKee. Honors even. Last Thursday I witnessed the last grand review of the 45,000 troops in the park, and it was the grandest sight I ever saw or expect to see. The divisions took their places about 7 o’elock and were reviewed by Maj. Gen. Brekenridge, Gov. Atkenson, of Georgia, Hon. W. C. P. Brecken- ridge, of Kentucky, (brother of Gen. Breckenridge) and the foreign repre- sentatives in their flashy uniforms. First came Grigsby’s ‘‘Rough Riders” by platoons and their fine horses, good riders, straight lines brought forth applause from all sides. Next was the other cavalry regiments, fol- lowed by the artillery, which made a fine showing. Then came the infantry and as they passed company after company for 3 hours, I heard a lady behind me remark that she wondered if all the young men in the U. 8. had come to war, and it certainly looked as though they had. After the in- fantry had passed came the grandest sight yet. All of the artillery and eavalry regiments came by on a charge. They passed just as fast as their horses could go, and you could hardly see anything except an occa- sional flashing saber so great was the dust. The women sereamed and thought they would all be killed, but there were no serious accidents. One man’s horse fell with him but fortu- nately both horse and man rolled to one side out of the way of the rest. It was a holiday in Chattanooga, the post office, banks and stores all closed andthe people all came out It was estimated that there were 30,000 from there alone.
