Leaving Hono- lulu June 10th, she beat through the passage between the islands of Molakala Oahu against a very strong head wind.

DISPATCH FROM SHERIDAN TO GEN. SHERMAN. ‘The following dispatch was received at army headquarters to-day: CHIcaco, August 25th, 1873. Gen. W. T. Sherman Gen. Stanley notifies Gen. Terry that he has reached Mussel Shell river, four milea below Swimming Woman's creek; that Gen. Custer, with his cavalry, had had two affairs with Indians—one on the 4th instant, the other on the ilth—in both of which he was entirely suc- cessful. Our loss was four men killed and one ofticer, Lieut. Braden, 7th cavalry, and three men wounded. The loss of the Inilians is esti- mated at forty killed and wounded. The veter- iary surgeon of the 7th cavalry, Mr. Belleran, a trader, and private Bail, of company F, 7th cavalry, have been waylaid and murdered by Indians. Lieut. Braden is doing well. Stantey expects to reach the Yellowstone crossing again between the 9th and 15th of September. P. H. Suznipan, Licut. General, Not Much of a Crsar, ‘The New York Z/erald, in its interviewing re- searches in regard to the “Cwsar’ business, gives the following as the substance of a dis- cussion that took place in the presence of Gen- eral Grant himself, on the subject of a third term. When asked what he thought of it, “Wh: id Grant, “it doesn’t interest me in the least. It is no business of mine to manage the politics of the country. Th» execution of the duties of the office of the President are quite as much as one man can attend to, and a good deal more than I find agreeable. It is pretty well known that I reluctantly consented to give up my commission as General, even when the success of the republican party was assured; but, having accepted the nomination, I was bound to stand by it. The second nomi- nation was equally unsought, though I freely told my friends I thought the party owed me a vindication for having imposed with the office the aspersions of their political enemies. I didn’t bargain for that, and thought the charges retiected more justly upon the party for having made the mistake. I was perfectly satistied what the result would be at Philadelphia, as I was of what would fullow in November. It was none of my business, except to accept or de- cline a privilege I knew some of our friends would be glad to have. Let me see, this is August—March to August is five months, and now the newspapers are anxious to know if I am to serve a third term, when the second is hardly begun. The way ‘Congress has treated all my recommendations doesn’t make me ap- pear either intluential or danger: I often think of Lincoln's answer to the importunate »licants for army Honors: * I hayen’t any i fluence with this administration, my friend you will have to appeal to Congress.’ If the hewspapers want to know whether [ will be re- nominated, why don’t they quiz the party elected me?" “Why don't you silence this squabble by announcing your Intention to retire to private lite at the énd of the term?” asked one of the company, jokingly. The President promptly answered You forget the fate of c Will it not be time to refuse when the al is at my disposal’? ref Loss ny a Bura! TURNED INTO GAIN In Danville, Ky., there is a college and also a theological seminary under the control of the Presbyterian Synod of Kentucky. Last spring these institutions received a severe blow by the ‘oss of £14000 in bonds deposited for sa keeping in the Falls City Bank of Louisville, which was robbed. ‘This stimulated the friends of the college to active exertions in its behalf, and in a short time the sum of $65,000 was se- cured by subscription to replenish its treasury. Later the trustees of both institutions, accord- ing to the Louisville Commercial, made through accredited agents of the burglars a bargain with the thieves who robbed the bank, whereby they recovered the stolen bonds by paving to the agents of the robbers $21,000 in cash, 80 that they are now better off than if the bur- glary had never taken place. To be sure, the Tecovery of the securities involved the act of compounding a felony, an offence which, under the laws of Kentucky, is punishable with fine and imprisonment in the penitentiary: but it is to be presumed that the high moral standing of the gentlemen engaged in the crime will shield them from any unpleasant legal proceedings.— Balt. America Toe ResponsiniLiry or Minors FoR FRAUD. In the suit of James W. Chisholm and others against Julius Paradise and others, the com- plaint sets forth that the defendants’ firm was formed to procure goods fraudulenty, and that they succeeded in obtaining by deceit from the plaintiffs goods to the value of about $400. It closes with a prayer for damages. The other defendants are not in the state, but Julius Para- dise was arrested. He applied some —_ ago to Mr. Justice Daniels for the vacation of the or- der of arrest,on the ground that he was a minor and not Mable for his contracts, and that the action is, though in form one of tort, essentially one of contract. Mr. Justice Daniels, review- ing briefly the cases, holds that the defendant, though a minor, isliable for his fraudulent acts, and that the substance of the complaint is his fraud and deceit, distinguishing this case from the suits for damages for breach of contract, in trover, &c. He therefore denies the motion.— N. ¥.

The words and actions of Mrs. 5 so much alarmed her sister that she jum up and grappled with Mrs. Ray, and in the scuftie the pistol went off, how neither can tell. After the explosion of the revolver, Mrs. Jep- herson took the pistol and threw it on the floor, and taking her sister in her arms, carried her as far as she could, and then in « fainting condi- tion reeled down one flight of stairs, and told Mrs. Bickford that her sister had shot herself, at which Mrs. Kay said, “No; Nellie shot me.” The bullet from the pistol passed into the left side of the neck of Mrs. Bay, very near the jngular vein, and has not been extracted.

Seep Great Storm in Halifax. DAMAGE TO SHIPPING. Ha.irax, N. S., August 26.—A severe storm “passed over this city on Saturday night and Sunday morning, doing considerable damage. ‘The gale was the heaviest experienced in many years. Most of the shipping in the port was prepared for the gale and rode it out. Several small yachts were smashed at anchor. The United States frigate Powhattan dragged her anchorage off the Cunard wharf and drifted to the ordnance wharf, where she was secured. Steam was kept up all day Sunday in readiness for any emergency. The particulars of the effect of the storm have not come in, but it is feared it will be bad news from the country and sea-coast. ‘The steamer Hibernian arrived from Englam! and Newfoundland on Saturday, and brought Mi: ird ty ti i This property will, bowever, pass intoother | A Hired Assassin Jd the Work.—The mystery ates po r Err bores we hantoreaat by such be improved.—Gacette, 26ch | which bas so long surrounded the death of The ship SE Louis Captain Pearce. with a nnear ex SkAeOn,—On te General Agramonte, the Cuban patriot, has at general cargo, from Liverpool for Philadelphia, Great Storm ix Prance.—n Friday night. | last been unravelled.

In the Vezelay a woman was killed at the moment when she wasopening a window, and at Neuilly ® man was killed in the street. Torrents of rain fell, which tilled the sewers tosuch an ex- tent that thousands of rats were drowned, and the waters of the Seine were so disturbed that several corpses, which had been for some time in the river, were brought to the surface. Ac- counts from Nice report a fearful storm in id by the Spaniards., The assassin’s name is La\divar, a Cuban by birth, who was left by his father atSt. John’s College, Fordham, when he was 13 yearsold. In consequence of some ir- regularities he was removed from St. John’s College by his guardian and sent to a school at Fistbusb, N.Y. From this institution he was expelled for acrime which should have con- signed him tothe state prison, after which he visited friends and acquaintances in New York, from whom he borrowed allthe money would lend him. He then went to Hi na, from that city he found means to reach the in- surgent army, commanded by Gen. Agramo! After a few months’ service he went and sur- rendered to the Spaniards.
