Bonneville’s ex- — and the Coyotero Apache Indians, in the country, we gave # brief notice of the result of the rencontre. expedition was probabl most arduous, trying and dangerous ever projected since New Mexico bas been a Territory of the United States; and it was also successful, having fully ac- comp! the end contemplated Ane Obgbeie n. Not only this, but it has resulted in ining Infor- mation of a valuable portion of our territory, which otherwise might have remained hidden from us for to come. We regret that our limited space ‘will not permit us to enter into the details of this campaign as fully as our desire would Jead us and its importance deserves. We can nly ee over the face of the reports, and endeavor, in a very general manner, to give our readers an idea of the progress of the expedition and its happy termination. The depot of the expedition was es! on the west of the Gila river, nearly west from the “ Adobe Wall,” on the Rio Grande, and about twelve miles northwest from the San Lucien sprit Loring, eonsistii f Maj oe herd ata try, q ‘ing o! jajor ‘a infantry, composed of Lieut.

Indians and sheep were discovered in the canon, and the approach of the troops was a complete surprise. On seeing them they com- menced flight. Pursuit wax made, and eight Indian men killed—among them the celebrated Chief Cuchillo Negro—and one squaw accidentally. Five ere and five children Bets aura Rh ir camp equipage, a large quantity of packe: meat, about 1,000 sheep, several oxen, and other animals, The command instantly commenced pur- suit of another small party, who hod about five hundred sheep, discovered in a neighboring canon. These, however, made good their escape, after a warm race, leaving most of their sheep behind. Colonel Loring proceeded on his trail, through a very rough and mountainous country, with but little grass or water. The country over which he travelled seemed to be barren and deserted. He encountered many hardships, but his men and the officers en- dured them with the most unflinching fortitude. The Southern column was under command of Col. Miles, and was organized as follows:—Capt. Ewell, with Lieutenants Moore, Chapman and !) and B, G and K companies of Ist dragoor Cla borne, Lieutenants Edson and Duboi B, G and K companies of Mounted Rifle uunts Whipple and Steen in command of C a »mpa- nies 3d infantry; Lieutenants Jackson « ok in command of B’and J companies 8th infantry: Lieut. McCook, in command of Pueblo Indians, and Capt. Blas Lucero, in command of Mexican guides aud spies; Lieut. Lazelle, adjutant, and Dr. Harden, dical officer—making in all 442. This column was divided into two wings, Col Miles in command of the right, and Capt. Ewell in command) of the left, (Col. Bonneville was with this column. On the 13th of June they started tothe Coyotero country. ‘They marched south and southwest from the depot. On ‘the first came to extensive ruins, supposed to be of Aztec origin. There were also evidences that the Coyoteros had farmed there in former years. The ruins seemed to indicate that a lation of 2,000 or 3,000 must at one time have Pebded there—probably 200 years back. On the 24h the spies discovered an Indian camp a short digance ahead. Captain Ewell, with 20 infantry and 40 mounted dragoons, with all the officers under his command except Lieut. Edson, endeavored to surround the camp. The guides and spies cap- tared a woman, but the command was discovered. In this march Captain Ewell's company suffered much, having to sustain itself by killing some of the Indian ponies they had captured. On the 27th Capt. Ewell’s wing, in advance, proceeded towards the Rio Gila—the Pueblo spies in advance. About three o'clock of that day the spies reported Indians about, ‘and told Captain E. to 2 on with his people.” They proceeded but a short distance when they came upon the Apache camp. Col. Miles was in the rear, when Captain E. commenced the attack, We copy from his report to Colonel Bonneville :— “So soon as musketry was heard by us the order was Leven. to gallop and the by you (Colonel B.) } feld of battle. When I arrived, which was not until Lient. Debois had passed with his pomeaty, BY, first object was to ascertaiu how the field » What the disposition of the troops and how the enemy was placed. I soon found that Ewell, an- der bis hea cl of dragoons, had broken the Speches—-they taken cover in the thick under- wood—and that it was the work of infantry to pick them out; that ‘l> dragoons were occupying the left bank of the Gila. atting off the retreat of the enemy to Mount Torniull, and that Captain Claiborne and Lieut. Dubois had very properly charged on the right bank and prevented them from reach’ mountains on that side. My Cag then, was to bring into action as soon as possible the 8th Infantry, the river from where Lieutenants Whip- to give this order, but that Lieutenants Jack: panies, were ly up place where they were | *: vered by a dense undergro recrossed the river again, T found Lieut, Steen had been driven out of the bushes by a rally from the , and Lieut.

The battle field ex- tended for a mile on both sides of the Gila, and was covered with a thick undergrowth. The battle com- menced at half-past four o'clock and lasted till sun- down.” There were forty warriors engaged in the conflict, two of whom only are known to bave es- There were but twenty-four foand dead on 5 ‘ied—one while fight- ing with a bow and arrow. There were twenty-four women and children taken prisoners. The wounded of the were Lieutenants Da- vis and Steen, and five or #ix of the soldiers and one Pueblo Indian. None of them fatally. The conduct of — officer and the soldiers during in the most flattering terms by Col. Miles. Besides the battle is mentione the havoe among this party of Indians, the destroyed about 600 acres of corn, and cap- a large number of sheep, horses, &c. Lieut. W inpie’s report of @ scout to the head wa- ters of the G: that with this, as ire expedition, we have to deal so sparingly. He describes country aa — soe, with an le valley, ‘mentions the ap) ce of large num- ber of eagles and turkeys, the latter being so unac- to the of man, that when shot at they would not ft Sat of the Gila River. His march was excéedingl; difficult, and many of his men, including himself, by a poisonous plant. He captured in this acout about 250. I from the Indians. He was by Lient. Steen. *Gaplatn Swell gives very gives a very interesting report of a scout under his command to the Cheiceehue Moun- tains.

The Pimo Indians say these were the homes of their _an- cestors.” This sconting and exploring trip of Cap tain Ewell was effected without any guides, and con sequently did not accomplish as much as he de Under date of May 12 Colonel Bonneville writes:— “We are now in the middle of the Jornado country with the Burro mountains thirty miles due south o us, the San Vicente at the same distance to the east a low range of boid hills to the west, and the lofty Mogollon Afteen miles to the north,’ cut in two by an Immense canon, through which the river Gila The bottom lands are extensive.

If our space would allow, it would afford us great pleasure to more fully allude to this expedition. As it is, our readers will have to rest contented with this very partial and imperfect notice. Since writing the above we have received the following very Lear Rep from Col. Bonne- ville, which we take the liberty of laying before our readers :-— Santa Fr, N. M., Sept. 22, 1857. Dear CoLtoner—Returning a few days since from the depot on the Gila, I met your friend and agent, Dr. Steck. He made much inquiry respecting the Gila country—whether your views in regard to locat- ing the Apache Indians in Pueblos could be effected on the waters of the Gila, He appeared desirous that I should converse with you on the subject, be- lieved any information in relation to this hitherto un- known region would be deeply interesting, and per- haps some day might be useful in assisting the opera- tions of your superintendency with this people. We were operating in what has been known as the Gila country for more than four months; had de- tachment of troops scattered in every direction, bringing on their return sketches of the country and information from every quarter, I established my depot on the east bank of the Gila river—a beautiful spot about fifteen miles from the Mogollan Mountains. ‘his valley is about twenty-five miles by forty, basined by the tay Se to the north, San Vicente to the east, the Burro and Almoque to the south, and to the west by the Patos and San Francisco. These mountains enclose one of the most fertile and healthy spots on earth, beautiful to perfection. So much was it the admiration of all who saw it that our employés, every one, would have remained to have made it their homes had it been safe to have Lieutenants Whipple and Steen were sent into the Mogollon Mountains. They remained in them near twenty days—united the head waters of the Gila, and describe it as a most clevated and tumbled up region, perfectly worthless, except a limited space on the northwestern slope of the mountain. The maps, made from frequent readings of the compass, I look upon as very correct. Every detachment fur- nished me with a map of the country traversed. These I have transmittod, with my reports, to the Department headquarters, to which I have no doubt the General will readily give you access. After passing the aa valley, the river con- tinues its course south, and enters the ca- nones of a low range of lava mountains connect- ing the Burro and Almoque mountains. Lost, as it were, for about twenty miles in these ca- nones, it falls into a large open country, extend- ing from the Burro Mountains on the east to the joque on the west; it continues westerly till it meets the Sierrita Jornado, a long range of canones from the south, forces the river among the issues and precipices of its northern extremity; when, seeking again its western direction, it flows for from 70 to 100 miles through a valley about 40 miles wide. This valley was remarked el as most fertile—exten- sive bottom lands, a rolling country on either side, offering the finest grazing to the ve mountains. This valley, like every other capable of being cultivated, gives evi @ former people, agricultural in their pursuit, no bt far more civilized than the eae race who desolate#. We find to the north the Almoque and Patos mountains, with a basaltic range of low mountains connectin these with the Penal range. To the west the sout span of the Pena] mountains stand as a barrier to all egress. To the south we have the mountain ranges of Turnball and Graham, and to the east the Sierra foot of the Jornada. Within these we have a ogg large, fertile, healthy and well watered by the Gila, bedded in mountains, distant from all roads and pass ways, and without a probability of any ever being made th it —a country, as it were, isolated. This appears to me to be most admirably adapted for the homes of the Indians. Here ,established in his pueblo, his fer- tile planting grounds at his deor, good water, and climate, with his flocks, herds and stock fattening on the mountain slopes, he would be well sitnated. Themaquery, the favorite food of the Indian, is here found in abundance. Jam aware that ol may be urged to t to the Indians; but this valley, health, its delicious water, and rich of our people, who seek Une great thoroughtares and our 5 seel an what so completel: | them from the busy world.

So that the fact pe a one acme remap eae epee to its Indian adaptability, where under the ital care of his agent, he may secure all his wants, with the certainty that his improvement, tho slow, will be constant. To the north of the Gila, the country is broken, rising as go north into high mountains of lava, &c. Small streams rise in these mountains, and running through the canones, at times open out into small valleys of the greatest fertility. On the south the country is rolling to the qo ths, ania all te Gila region, that. springs our to this, as to all the Gila region, tl ings com- mence in all the mountains, so as to adore abun: dance of water for all stock nag ooo and some- times even for irrigation, but springs lose themselves in the loose soils of the valley, and find the river under ground. I have made a rough sketch of the subject, desir- ing simply to draw your attention to it, and if it should have the merit’ of any usefulness I shall be satistied.

Political Intelligence. GoveRson WALKER AND THE RiceTs oF THs Socrn.—The Charleston Mercuryof the Ist inst. says:— Some days since we gave the proceedings of the demo- cratic meeting at Millegevilie, composed largely of mem bers of the I are of Georgia, and over by ex-hovernor ¥. Johnson. were clear and explicit in their ‘Walker's course in Kaneas, and of the administration, if sanctioned hie proceedings. The action of Missiani Alabama upon the same subject i« of the most cided character, and ae our interesta are identical with theirs, we are allowed to expect that South Carolina will ‘no longer remain in “ iselation,”’ but will come up faith- fully in support of her sister States. We have a common and it would be unworthy of the old remembrances of the State to withhold the ‘‘co-operation’’ of the State in vindication of the righta of the South, to which she stands po rolomly pledged. We infer from the above that the Mercury claims that any check on border ruffaniem and ballot box stuffing in Kaneas is inimical to the rights of the South. Sorts Canoua Uxrrep States Skwator-—The telegraph some days sinee announced the election, by the Soath Carolina Legislatare, of Mr. James H. Hammond as United States Senator, to the seat left vacant by the death of Mr, Butler. The Charleston Mercury says — Considering that he was no candidate for the office, that he has used no exertions to secure support, this election ig asignal triumph, and a worthy tribute to one of the highest minds in the State. Governor Hammond was selected in @ enecus of the State rights party as their can didate. He was supported as such, elected ae such, and we havo the firmest faith that he will maintain the old time doctrines of the State rights school, Indeed, as one of the young leaders in the contest of 1882, it would be hard, with hie clear mind and strong convictions, for him to be other than a champion of the rights of the State, and the strict construction of the constitution of the United States, Prac Sexnwert iw Kaveas.—The Lecompton National Democrat, @ democratic paper, denounces the Kansas Con vention and ite authors, and says the constitution is held in perfect contempt by men of all parties.

The opinion is general here that it is the inten- tion of the Mormons to resist with force and arms the entrance of the United States soldiers into the |) have been identified with the rise an preven Territory of Utah. With this belief are serious fears for the safety of the comparatively small body of troops on their march for Salt Lake City. Almost weekly we learn of fresh outrages on the Plains, which are said to be perpetrated by the Indians; but there are too many unmistakeable proofs of Mormon complicity with these crimes. The massacre of over one hundred men, women and children, composing an emigrant train from Arkansas, is one of the most fearful atrocities furnished by the annals of the eountry, and it is too apparent now the act was either done by the Mormons themselves, disguised as Indians, or by Indains instigated by Mormon hatred and hostility. Indeed, the common talk among the Saints who have conversed with persons travelling through their settlements, is that the mas- sacre of these people, coming as they did, for the most part, from Arkansas, was in retribution and in revenge for Parley Pratt's death, which took place in Arkansas, ‘The oft expressed determination of Brigham Young not to submit to the entrance of soldiers into Utah, and his well known rebellious spirit, taken in connection with the massacres that have taken place recently, causes much solicitude for the safety of the troops about entering that country. It is well known there are numerous passes and gorges through which they must pass, that, if held by a few hundred men, would afford means to annihilate five times their number; and even if the Mormons allow the United States troops to approach the city of Salt Lake, it would, it is to be feared, be only the prelude to their destruction by an overwhelming number of enemies. It is fortunate the meeting of Congress is so near at hand. If the Mormons resort to hostilities, prepa- rations for a grand campaign must be set on foot at once. Some affect still to believe they will not fight, but submit to the new order of things and seck ano- ther settlement, perhaps in the Russian possessions, The probability of such conduct is very slim. The military preparations at Salt Lake, the threats and defiant language used by the Saints, the repeated outrages on emigrants, and the small body of soldiers on their pares to Utah, leave but little hope for a peaceable solution of the difficulty. It will me a matter of ount importance as to how troops and war material are to be transported with the greatest expedition to the scene of hostilities. California is much nearer, and the route from here to Utah is far less objectionable and safer, inasmuch as there exist no passes or ambuscades on the road, which might be used by an enemy to obstruct the march of troops, or to surprise. In California there could in avery short time be raised five thousand men inured to danger, and able to cope with Mormons, no matter how instigated or led—men who are stran- ers to fear, accustomed to the use of arms, and who fave seen service during the war with Mexico. It would be hard, indeed, to raise an army better suit- ed for the service, or who could carry more terror into the ranks of the Latter Day Saints, than one that could be organized within the borders of our State. The resources of California are ne suffi: cient tb equip and provision such a force, and convey them to the theatre of their operations. Should happen—though all must deplore it—that war is fo take place, Congress ought to keep in mind the fire field there exists on this coast to bring the Mormas to their senses. The situation of Utah and the delay consequenton transporting men from the Eastern seaboard tothe Western frontier, and thence a march across the Plains, would render operations very difficult and ex- nsive. Besides this, the opportunities of defmd- ing each pass,and the numerous bands of In- dians knowa to be in alliance with the Mormons and their guid- epee under ance, who inhabit the country lying between coe gy Magy es are a ep oobrgion ve laf agai e plan of conve; Troops and mat from the Eastern States phon 3 the country to the Mormon territory. By far the safest mode would be to send them first eae ree eet nama to San Francisco and from here to Salt Lake. Time would be gained, perils of the journey avoided, and no additional expense incurred. And, more- over, troops advancing from California wonld inspire more fear among the nghty warriors of Salt Lake than if they approached from Missouri. These are considerations which will receive the earnest con- sideration of the War Department, and in the event o a campaign becoming necessary, the superior advan tages of California axa base of operations should no be overlooked. Here we look upon it as a foregone conclusion. Brigham Young is determined to resist to the death, and it is greatly feared some disaster will befall the troops en route for Utah, owing to their want of strength in numbers, The United States Graud Jury, recently empan nelled, has been almost exclusively engaged investi ew. the conduct of persons connected with the ane mint in official capacities. They have in- dicted Mr. Haratzthy, late melter and refiner, for embezzling Le gt) the former Grand Jury having — presented him for the offence, and then sin- gularly —— paused and went no farther. The coiner, Mr. Eckfeldt, who was also presented for perjury committed on the trial of William Bain, another mint defaulter, has been relieved from this serious charge—the present Grand Jury having unanimously ignored the bills against him—and Mr. Hiram Graves, a clerk in the coiners’ department, who was likewise presented for perjury. It ia the general belief the two last named persous were put in the unfavorable position of seeming criminality through the influence of d ing men occupying high stations in the branch mint, #0 as to effect their removal from the establishment. It was thought the government would not retain rsons laboring under the of having wil- committed perjury, and even if tried and ac- d the dark stain affixed to their characters pe sh bee h to procare hye?

Under the circumstances, if the need of counsel is felt, it is proper enough it should be sought by the party who feels its want, but the general ‘government ought to make only such appointments to ible itions as to inspire confidence in the capacity charac- ter of the persons appointed.

In the present state of the establishment, when charges are inces- santly made on ge the honesty of nearly every officer connected with it, and nts put for- ward to the effect that the loosest manner of doing ‘business is still continued, it becomes a duty to this State, as well as to the whole country, to apply a remedy, and at least place the mint under the ma- nagement of men of experience, capacity and judg- ment. ‘We are promised by both the agents of Garrison and Vanderbilt that steamers are to be put on the Nicaragua route next month, but it is to be feared that the announcements will hardly be realized.

THE TWO PHILADELPHIA ORGANS IN IT “HAMMER AND TONGS.” (From Col. Forney’s Philadelphia Press (Walker Organ). } THE WASHINGTON UNION IN ARMS AND EAGER FOR THE FRAY. We have noticed, for some days past, in the Wash- ington Union, a series of insolent and dictatorial ar- ticles on the subject of the Calhoun Kansas consti- tution, and have read them with the surprise which such productions must excite when published in a journal claiming to be democratic, and printed at the capital of the federal government. For obvious reasons, we deemed it unnece: to notice these articles. Other journals have nut been so charitable, however. While the republicans were copying and glorying over these productions, such democratic papers as the Chtoag Times aud the Cincinnati Enquirer have indignantly declared that the democratic party can never be held responsi- ble for doctrines which are either the result of dis- eased imagination or ep ip and which, undenied, would utter!; roy our organiza- tion. But the Union, as if not satisfied ven ae) tempting to commit the democratic party to tl doctrine of introducing slavery into all the free States, and of holding it there in defiance of State laws, and not content with denouncing all who sup- port Governor Walker and Judge Douglas in their on ‘ition to the Kansas Colhoun Convention as the hes of the free soilers, is anxious for a conflict with The Presa, and accordingly in its yesterday's number it drops the general, and becomes personal and particular. If we speak plainly of this unpro- voked and insolent attack, we trust our read- ers will bear with us, inasmuch as we have not halted to notice the other assailants that have been barking at our heels since we have deemed it to be our duty, in obedience to the public sentiment, and to obligations which can- not be overlooked or disregarded, to advocate the great principle that the will of the majority should sreval in Kansas. The manner in which we have liscussed this principle does not please the Washing- ton Union. ‘e did not expect it wonld. Content- ing ourselves with facta and arguments, arraigning no man for his ents, and keeping in the plain path of the record, the Union assumes the responsi pility of taking us to task. The reader will be sur- prised that for doing no more than our plain duty, in an earnest and sincere manuer, we should be indicted by this newspaper as if guilty of advocating monarch- ical doctrines. The following are fair specimens of its imperti- nence :— (Here follows an extract from the Washington Union in defence of the Lecompton constitution, and levelled at Col. Forney’s Press.] In reply to this Col. Forney says: The best answer to this miserable apology for what is neither more nor less than a great moral fraud, is the following article from this same Wash- ington Union, of the 7th of July last—atter the delegates to the Constitutional Convention had been elected:— ‘When there is no serious dispute upon the constitution, vention or among the people, the power itin operation. But such most violent struggle this most important issue which ine, has been going on there n parties so evenly balanced that nit so hostile to one another that numerous lives b en lost in the contest. Under these circumstances there can be no such thing as ascertaining clearly, and without doubt, the will of the people in any way except by their own direct expression of it at the polls. A constitution not subjected to that test, no matter what it contains, will never be ponents to be anything but a fra A plausible color might be given to this assertion by the argument that the members of the Convention could have no motive for retusing to submit their work to their con- stituents, except a conscionsness that the majority wouid condemn it. We confess that we should find some diffi- culty in answering this. What other motive could they have? We do most devoutly believe that, uuless the con: stitution of Kansas be submitted to a direct vote of the people, the unhappy controversy which has heretofore raged in that Territory will be prolonged for an indefinite time to come. It will hardly be believed thot this denunciation, in advance, of all attempta to cheat the majority of the people of Kansas out of their rights appeared in the Washington Union, which now undertakes to condemn us for repudiating the very infamy it fear- ed might take place. There is, the reader will per- ceive, no saving clause in the July article of the Union, The Union declares that a constitution not submitted to the people, “no matter what it con- tains, will never be acknowledged by its opponents to be anything but fraud.” ‘The very result which the Union anticipated, hav- ing taken'place, all who declare a constitution thus fabricated, in defiance of the will of the majority, “to be a fraud,” and pothing else, using the ie own language, are to be excommunicated. We can scarcely account for the folly and arro- sory of the Union in provoking a contest with The son this ic, only to expose its own igno- rance and to publish its own shame. After a column of calumny upon us for demafiding that the will of the majority in Kansas shall prevail, we turn back a | few weeks over its own , and find that it went | as far as The Press in the same direction, before the last fraud in Kansas had happened. It is an extremely fortunate thing that Mr. Bu- chanan has not recognized the W: on Union for his organ. A journal capable of such an act of Selo de se as this, would down any man who | allows it to speak for him, deeper “than plummet ever sounded. The course of the Washington Union, for some for several years both claim the majori nowledged by Its op weeks past has been commented upon by other de- mo¢tatic papers with signal severity. fear- Jess and influential 5 Detroit Press and the Chicago Times, have literally flayed it alive —the one hok itup to the laughter of the coun- try for its ridiculous attempt to di m the demo- crats into the sw the Calhoun Convention (denounced in advance by the Union!) and the other for its mad folly in rating all who will not do this, the allies of “freceotiier. x : Bnt our able cotemporaries should not stop here. They have not forgotten that after Governor Walker had exposed the criminal frands in Oxford and McGhee, when the fire eaters and extremists were hunting him down like a felon; when all honest men were applauding him for bis courage and his integ- Py og Washini Union had not a word to say in his support. It was as silent as death, and dared not so much as raise a whisper for the gallant states- man, absent from his family and his fighting seni we cence gon tricksters as ever li Union waited, like @ cautious politician, till the hour came when it could take vengeance on those who stood by Governor Walker in that crisis. And we, thank we were among the first to do so, and we receive the first stab. But more than this. While Governor Walker was still absent, and nothing was yet known of his action the Calhoun contrivance, Union, in an edito- rial ecstacy that would not have been an ina) - ate picture of the signers of the Declaration of In- jebraska bill.

Their particular or gan is exceedingly vehement end verbose in declaring the proceedings of the Convention a cheat and a fraud from Veginning to end, and enun ciates the dogma that the Convention is of no ac count, having no legitimate organization. This wholesale and unjust denunciation of the Conven. tion is an after thought, a part of the plot hatched by these men since the full developement of the ac tionef the Lecompton Convention has sale pe a cessary for them to alter their jor mar pone th in possession of this information +0 long ago as the Lecompton Convention was constituted a body politic without power in an: way to make a constitution, why was that. im it information not communicated when the President, upon the re- quisition of Governor Walker, a military force to be near the Convention, to from disturbance or violence during ite and deliberations?

This course cannot be justified or defended. There can be no compromises with men who are in league with black republican traitors in and out of Kansas , for the purpose of keeping alive the slavery agitation in that Territory, with a view of disorganizing the democratic party, and riding into political power on the waves of political commotion and preja- dice. The Kansas Constitutional Convention has violated no principle of the party in selecting its mode of submitting the constitution to the peoplé ‘The national administration has departed from none of the old landmarks of the democratic organiza tion in endorsing and approving the proceedings of that Convention. But certain men haye de nounced the Convention and faulted the ad, ministration, and now, when they are driven to the wall, they propose a compromise. There can be no compromise when principles are at stake. ‘The party is right upon the great ixsue—the Presi- dent is right. Kansas will be admitted with the constitution adopted by her own people, and thuk the great principle of popalar sovereighty will triumph over the machinations of those who are willing to break up the democratic party, and di# turb the peace of the nation to further their selfish ends, , WHO TOOK A HEAVY BLUE back of & ria: the opera house eturn » to the owner, offlee of Lreceive the one left tn ite ev Daily News, 10 place, {STELLE—I MISREAD YOUR NOTK.
