OUR GOVERNMENT AND 7HE SOUTH AMERICAN Wax —The statements in circulation, relative to the attitude of the government of the United States towards the pending hostilities between the republics of Chili and Peru are purely 8 ulative.

George W. De Long, command- ing the Arctic exploring ship Jeannette. The report fs dated Oonalashki Island, August 4th. Lieut. De Long states that he arrived there on the 2d inst., and found at anchor the revenue steamer Rush, the steamer St. Paul, and the schooner St. George, the two latter vessels be- longing to the Alaska Commercial company of San Francisco. He heard of the wreck of the brig Tirwanda, belonging to J. C. Merrill & Co., of San Francisco, on Noumvall Island, about 420 miles to the northward. The second mate and three seamen of the brig reached Oona- lashka July 30th, in an mmprovised boat. The Rush sailed on the 4th to the rescue of the rest. of the crew, elghtin number. The Rush, dur- ing her visit to St. Michaels, and her cruise to the northward, Vacpasn through Behring’s Straits to some twenty miles to the northward and eastward of East Cape, in Siberia, without having encountered any ice whatever. Sup- posing that Professor Nordenskjold had al- rei passed south, no communication was had’ by the Rush ‘with St. Lawrence Bay. No communication from St. Lawrence Bay had been received at St. Michaels at the date of the sailing of the Rush on the 23d of July, and consequently there was no knowledge of the safety or movements of Professor Nordens- kjold’s party. From all intelligence received from the northward it appears that the last winter has been ar exceptionally mild one and that no obstruction to navigation in the shape of ice has been encounte! Lieut. De Long regrets that the necessity of loading the Jean- nette so deeply at San Francisco has made pro- gress so slow—coupled with head winds and Swell—that it is doubtful whether she will be able to profit by the open water in the arctic fea in the efforts to in @ high latitude this Season.

Kalloch—Excitement Among the Workingmen—Apprehkensions of Rioting. Last Friday night in San Francisco Rev. J. S. Kalloch defended himself before an immense audience against charges thirty years old of im- morality preferred Wnst him by the San Francisco Chronicle. He said that these charges were revived by Charles and Mike De Young, whom he referred to in his remarks a3 “Two bastard sons of a prostitute.” Saturday morn- ing Charles De Young drove in a covered coupe n front of the private entrance of the Metro- politan temple, where Mr. Kalloch was about stepping into a cartlage with Cari Browne. De Young sent an Amelican District messenger boy to him to say that a gentleman wished to speak to him. As Kalloch approached the coupe De Young fired, hitting him in the breast just. above the heart. Kalloch staggered and turned toescape. De Young fired again, hiiting him in the hip or thigh. It would ae that trouble had been anticipated, as quit? a num- ber of worl ingmen were in the vicinity of the temple. They at once made a rush for the coupe, seized the horses’ heads and endeavored to ge De Young out. He kept them at bay for a moment with his crowd seized the coupe and overturned it. it_went over De Young got out. He and the officer were at once attacked. The officer was knocked down and trampled on and De Young beaten about the head and face, though not very serlously. The officer. De Young, and the driver of the coupe struggled through the crowd amid cries of “ Hans im!” “Kill him!” At the corner of 5th and Market streets two more Officers made their appearance, and with their assistance De Young was taken to the Baldwin hotel, and escaping by another entrance, got into a carriage and drove rapidly to the police Station, the crowd following. De Young was at once taken to one of the tank cells, while the crowd, hutaberms thousands, surrounded the rison and evinced a desire to make an attack. leantime the police rapidly assembled, ro) Were stretched across the streets leading to the prison, and every preparation was made to resist the attack. e chief of police at once called Gen. McComb in consultation, and At- torney General Hamiiton, who was present, telegraphed to Governor Irwin for orders. Strong guards were placed over the Chronicle business and wes 5 Mices to prevent them from being sacked. . H, De Young, who was at the Chronicle office at the time of shooting, at once sought the city prison, to bein company With Charles. For some time 1t was uncertain what bad been done with the brothers, many believing they had been removed to Fort Alca- tras for greater safety. At the request of a committee of workingmen, headed by Cittas Barbour, their candidate for Congress, they were allowed to select twelve men, wno were sworn in as special officers to stay about the the prison and sce that the De Youngs were not taken away. AS THE CIRCUMSTANCES LEADING TO THE SHOOTING of Mr. Kalloch are as follows:—Atter Kalloch Was nominated by the workiugmen of the city as their candidate for mayor, Charles De Young, in a g) sh at the state convention of “Honorable Bilks,” announced that he would compel Kalloch’s withdrawal from the contest. Subsequently he notified Kalloch that unless he withdrew he would rake up his record in the columns of the Chronicle, Kalloch sent back word for him to go ahead: that he could tell worse things about the De Youngs than they could bring against him. On Wednesday last the Chronicle came out with a long erticle re- and dragged in Kalloch’s father, now dead, recounting sundry immoralities on his part. Kalloch had advertised a mass meeting at the Metropolitan Temple, at which it was givenout that he would read @ copy of an article pub- ed some five years ago by B. F. Naphtaly, in a little paper called the Sun. This article was ap attack upon the personal and family record of the De Youngs of a most pronounced character, and led to an attempt on thelr part to kill Naphtaly, which failed. De Young sent Kalloch word that if he read that article they would shoot b'm on it. Friday night an immense andience gathered at the Metropolitan temple and the street out- side was ed with a crowd numbering thou- sands. Kalloch addressed tue indoor meeting, scoring the De Young’s mercilessly and refi ing on their personal record and family antece- dents in the most direct mapner. After ad- journing the meeting in the hall he went out side, mounted a stand and spoke briefly. After reviewing the attacks of the Chronicle upon bimeelf he said: In maligning the reputation of my father, who has filled an honorable grave for Lc | years, these journalistic vipers have the most Vicious retaliation on my art necessary and justifiable. Their disgrace- i records make such an attack possible and I am justified in pronouncing them the bas- tard progeny of a w—. He said he had the Sun article in his pocket (erfes of ‘Read it! read Iti”), but he did not wish to expend all his ammunition at once. It would be published Immediately tn full in the workingmen’s paper, The pee Letter, and next Tuesday evening he would take it up and comment upon it. KEARNEY CALMS THE CROWD. Kearney arrived on the Vallejo boat Satur- day evening. At the wharf he was met by a crowd of several thousands, who received their leader with a wild exhibition of joy. The work- ingmen’s military companies. numbering 160 men, with rifles and fixed bayonets, were on hand as an escort. With Kearney at the head, the lon moved up Market street for the sand lots, filling the streets for several blocks and making the air ring with cheers for Kear- hey and cries of ‘Hang De Young!” The pro- cession on its way to the sand lots stop} at the workingmen’s headquarters, where the ward presidents were deliberating on the course to be pursed. Kearney joined the ward residents, When & crowd gathered around the uildipg, blocking up the street. The entrance was led by sentinels with fixed bayonets and no one was admitted without a counter- sign. It was announced from a window that nothing would be done without deliberation, but that vengeance would be taken. After Kearney _ ha concluded his conference with the ward presidents the march for the sand lots was resumed. A crowd had assem- bled there before his arrival and was harangued by several prominent workingmen, counseling prudent action. Kearney, on arriving, immedi- ately ascended the stand and begau addressing the assemblage. The vindictive feelings which prevailed dur ng the day had apparently in no wise diminished and at a word from Kearney the whole body would have poured down town without hesitation to vengeance on the De Youngs. Kearney realized the situatioa fully and addressed himself to the task of quiet- ing the passions of his followers, We reminded them that in 10 days the election would put the whole machinery of the city government in their hands and that without fail the proprie- tors of the Chronicle would then meet their deserts; that at present any attempt at violence would be met by the revolvers of lice and the rifles and gatling guns of the military and that the game was not worth the shedding of the blood of one honest man. He abjured them by their regard for thelr reputation throughout the country, the eyes of which were upon them, to do no violence, but disperse quietly to their homes, Although the vast crowd were fairly howling for the blood of the De Youngs they ylelded implicitly to his advice and when he @ismissed them ‘surged away in various direc- lions, evidently prepared to follow his advice to the letter. WHAT THE DE YOUNGS SAY. A reporter of the Alta Culiyornia had an inter- view with the De Young brothers. Charles de- clined to make any statement except that the reports already published were in the main cor- Tect. M. H. De Young, in answer to a remark of the reporter that iC was a bad state of affairs, replied that it might have been expected. “Mr. Kalloch,” he said, “ might have known that he could not go on a public platform and traduce our mother and family without a stern and bit- ter retribution following close upon the heels of vilification. There was no law that would reach the matter.” He knew that he took his life in hts hands when he ge! as he did, “But,” said the reporter, “the workingmen, whose fight this seems to have become, Claim that he was justified in thus abusing your family after the Chronicle had rolled back the curtain from his father’s history—an old man who has been dead these thirty years.” “That,” replied De Young, ‘was unpardonable, but I will say, in justice to my brother and to myself, that that statement came asa dispatch from Boston. It arrived about half-past 1 o'clock in the morning, when both my brother and myself were away—he at a political conference and I elsewhere. Even our news editor scarcely read the matter as it came in; but once published we determined to stand by it without retraction. No tnatter how excited the public ts now, they will take a Calmer view Oo! the matter when they come to reflect that my brother did what any Man would do who @ Spark of manhood about him.” In answer as to whether his bother desired to be removed, he said he did not for the present.

The time not yet come for a calm and candid di n of the merits of the case; but if there is in this great city one human being in the shape of a man, and pre- tending to the dignity of manhood, who conld tamely have heard the mother who bore him assailed in language too vile to be repeated Without offense to modest ears let that despica- bie creature throw the first stone at the avenger of the grossest insult that was ever offered to a weman venerabie in years and irreproachable in character. Let those who are dlsj to indulge in harsh judgment in this case make it their own.” CARTRIDGES FOR THE MILITIA. Great fears were felt that the workingmen would mob the jail and commit other excesses Saturday night, and Brig. Gen. McComb, com- manding the state troops, telegrapiied to the Secretary of War as follows: “The city of San Francisco is threatened with a riot. Uniawfal assemblages now in street to resist authorities. State troops called into service by civic author- ities. Governor absent from capital. Necessary to have ammunition at once. Respectfgily re- quest that Col. McAlister, at Benicla arsenal, be authorized to issue 50,000 cartridges to state of California, direct to me.” ‘The Secretary of War replied as follows: * WASHINGTON. Aug. 23.—To Col.
