Last night an affray occurred at the Naval Acad- my between the colored midshipman, Conyers, ‘and a white cadet, growing out of the late report hat Conyers had been maltreated by his mess- mates. It is said that Conyers is mainly the ag- @ressor, and the affair has caused much excitement at the Academy and inthe town.

Sir Roundell Palmer Appointed Lord Chancellor— Tasular Telegraphic Communication Interrupted by Storm, TELEGRAMS TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpon, Oct, 18, 1872. By Her Majesty’s command, the London Gazette this evening published the appointment of Sir Roundell Palmer to the office of Lord Chancellor of Engiand and Custodian of the Great Seal during the will and pleasure of the Crown. The New Lord Chancellor. The life of Sir Roundell Palmer, who has been elevated to the office of Lord Chancellor of England and Keeper of the Great Seal, in succession to Lord Hatherley, has been sketched in the columns of the H&RALD quite lately. He was born in the year 1812, ana is, consequently, sixty years of age. His father was a eraroe of the Established Church, and bis mother Dorothea Richardson, the young- est Gaughter of the late Rev. William Roundell, of Gledstone, county York. Sir Roundell Palmer mar- ried, in the year Lady Laura, second daughter of William, eg Earl of Waldegrave. He was educated at Rugly, Winchester, and at Trin- ity Goneee Oxford, and was Fellow of Magdalen College. He was called to the English Bar in the year 1837, was Queen’s Counsel in 1849, Solicitor General 1861-62 and Attorney-General 1863-66, He has represented, at different periods, Plymouth and Richmond in the House of Commons, and is a man of great learning, vast experience, a ready executive tact and much force of expres- sion, as was evidenced during the time of his attendance in Geneva at the tribunal arbitration of the Alabama claims. His title in the peerage will be Lord Selborne, of Selborne, in the county of Hampshire. Press Pronouncement on the Appoint- ment. re London Times, after saying just lately that Sir Roundeli Palmer’s promotion will give universal satistaction, called the attention of the new Lord Chancellor to the pressing importance of law reform, saying that as by an accession to office early in the Autumn he nas four months to mature his bills, the country may hope that next session will not pass away without giving real proof of his ability and his devotion to the public service, The Telegraph believes it is poet to nb serve that Lord Hatherley will carry with him into his retirement the affectionate sympathies of the public at large, as well as of his colleagues in the Cabinet; for “rarely indeed has an eminent Judge, who was also an earnest politician, been more successful in rising superior to all considerations artisanship.” ‘he London News says that Sir Roundell Palmer is personally pledged to the necessity of large im- provements in legal éducation and the administra- tion of justice. His entrance into the Oabinet | Dried to redeem the most signal failure of Mr, ladstone’s administration. Telegraphic Communication Interrupted by Storm. Lonpow, Oct. 18, 1872, The British telegraph wires are deranged to-day at many points by severe storms. RUSSIA, Imperial Amnesty to a Polish Refugee General of the Sultan’s Army. TELEGRAM TO THE KEW YORK HERALD. Sr. PETERSBURG, Oct. 18, 1872, His Imperial Majesty the Czar Alexander has issued a decree granting free pardon to Michael Czaykowski, the Polish General, who, under the title of Sadyk Pacha, took service in the Turkish Army and distinguished himself as Commander-in- Chief of the Ottoman Cossacks in the wars against Russia, THE COLORADO RIVER RAILROAD SQUABBLE. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct, 17, 1872. The directors of the San Francisco and Colorado River Railroad Company publish a card formally withdrawing from submittal to a vote of the people the proposition to give said company a sub- sldy of $10,000,000, They say:—‘We are reluctantly compelled to admit that, after diligent and careful canvass of the city, we ascertain that there exists very general and fixed prejudice against any further railroad subsidies, Therefore, under the decided conviction that the people at this time are opposed to granting aid to railroads, we abandon for the present all efforts to obtain a subsidy.” The independent press, including the Bulletin and Call, have steadily maintained that public senti- ment was nearly unanimous against the Colorado Railroad subsidy, in the conviction that it was a Central Pacific scheme in disguise, THE VISITING VIRGINIA MILITIA REGIMENT, Barimone, Md., Oct. 18, 1872. The First Virginia regiment, accompanied by a howitzer company of Richmond, arrived in Balti- more at about one o’clock to-day and were received and welcomed by a committee of the Fitth Mary- land regiment, The regiment visita Baltimore celebrate its own anniversary, as also the anni- versary of the Battle of Yorktown—the closing struggle of the revoluttion—which occurs to-mor- row.

The Chicago Marine Hos- pital Frauds. DEPARTMENTAL _ REPORTS. Wasninoron, Oct, 18, 1872. The English Coal Famine—Demand for Maryland Coal. ‘The coat famine in England creates a demand for the bituminous coal of Maryland, Within a few days parties in Georgetown have received orders, transferred from Liverpool, England, for large quantities of Cumberland coal, to be shipped to Bombay, Point de Galle, Aden, East Indies, Ma- deira, Alexandria, Egypt, Rio Janeiro, Aspinwall, St. Thomas, Martinique, Havana, Valparaiso and several other distant points. This circumstanceis unprecedented in the history of the Cumberland coal trade, The coal will be mainly shipped in foreign bottoms from Georgetown. The American bark Orient is now loading at the wharves for Aspinwall. In a few days quite a num- ber of foreign vessels will doubtless be in the Potomac to fill the orders referred to, Alleged Frauds in Building the Chicago Marine Hospital. The Treasury Department assumes the entire credit for developments of frauds in retation to the Chicago Marine Hospital. It is stated that tie principal reason why Mr. Rankin, formerly Assist- ant Supervising Architect, was sent to Chicago to generally supervise the erection of public buildings there, was because it was believed that his being a non-resident government official would insure a prompt investigation into the charges of corrup- tion, and because he has not in any way been iden- tifled with the parties who now figure as informers. Architect Mullett says that he was long since con- vinced that the parties engaged on the Marine Hos- pital were defrauding the government. He was first informed through a New York firm that the foreman in charge of this improvement had made advances to them to the effect that if they would pay hima commission he would secure them profitable gov- ernment contracts. The discharge of this individual was at the time immediately ordered, when it transpired that a clerk named Miner had written the letter to the New York party as aforesaid, and then had procured the signature of the foreman thereto without disclosing the contents. The Superintendent up to this time was not implicated. When the pay roils next came round to the depart- ment it was found that the clerk had not been dismissed, whereupon it was immediately suspected that other and more important personages were concerned in the swindle, and that they dared not discharge this subordinate. When the clerk’s dismisal was finally insisted upon he turned around, implicated his superiors and claimed to be the only original in- former. Mullett states that when the bids for the stone work were made these bids were first opened by parties in collusion with McKeon, Kelly & Co., the Chicago firm furnishing the stone, and that according to the information alleged to be in his hands the bid of this firm was ad- vanced $9,500, and the amount divided between the Superintendent, clerk and contractors, These are the allegations now in possession of the United States Attorney for the Chicago district, and upon which his presentment of the parties to the Grand Jury will be based, The Supervising Architect’s Report. Supervising Architect Mullett, of the Treasury Department, has nearly completed his annual re- port to Secretary Boutwell. The report is brief, containing few new recommendations, but repeat- ing recommendations made last year and not passed upon by Congress. He renews his proposi- tion that the whole or part of the Battery at New York should be secured for the erection of anew Custom House and revenue offices, the present buildings being overcrowded and unsuitable; also that appraisers’ stores be built for safer and better” accommodation of the business of appraisal and to save a rental which every year, under the present growth of the import business, will augment beyond the present figures of over seventy thousand dollars. Recommendations are made that the site and materials of the unfin- ished Marine Hospital at New Orleans be sold and the proceeds applied to the erection of the Pavilion Hospital on some other site than the deadly palmetto swamp selected for the present structure. A similar recommendation ts made with reference to disposing of the site and ma- terlals of the Marine Hospital at Pittsburg and erecting the Pavilion Hospital there. Mr. Mullett favors the discontinuance of all except the hos- pitals at the larger ports, thus getting rid of a lot of badly-planned and aged establishments, neither serviceable nor sanitary, and which absorb appro- priations for repairs to no useful end. He also recommends that the east front of the Treasury building be reconstructed to conform to the archi- tectural design of the other fronts. The Internal Revenue Report. Commissioner Douglass, of the Internal Revenue Department, intimates that his annual report this year will be very brief. The changes made in the internal revenue system, which went into ef- fect on the 1st of July last, have been found to work so satisfactorily that no recommendations for improvement can be suggested. -The revenue from whiskey, as well as the mait distillations, has increased beyond ail expectations, while from the source of tobacco the amounts realized are twenty per cent beyond calculations. The troubles with the brewers continue, both on account of the proposed change of one-third casks into the capacity of one-half, and also the anticipated adoption of the stamp cancelling machine. It is proposed in both these instances to leave the Sewers to Congress for rellef and not to make any recommendations on the subject whatever. The uniform tax on tobacco, about which so much. difficulty was apprehended, has been found to work especially favorable to the interests of the govern- ment as well as tothe advantage of the manufac- turers and growers. The number of distilleries, especially in the Southern States, has been in- creased in an unprecedented manner. This is at- tributable to the large devotion of the fruit crop in this direction. It is estimated that under the reduced figures the revenue from internal sources will amount to $125,000,000, which is $26,000,000 above the figures agreed upon by the financial au- thorities when the reductions went into effect. Life-Saving Stations, Captain Merryman, of the revenue marine, has reported to Secretary Boutwell the location of the new life-saving stations along the coast of Cape Cod as follows :— No. 1, Race Point; No. 2, Peaked Hill Bar; No. 3, Highlands, one mile north of lighthouse; No. 4, Pamet River; No. 6, Willfleet; No. 6, Nansett, one mile south of lights; No, 7, Orleans; No, 8, Chatham; No. 9, Monomoy, two miles north of lighthouse. The buildings will be completed by the Ist of De- cember and ready for occupancy, An effort will be made to have an appropriation passed early next session for immediately equipping all the stations. The Knights Templar. This morning the visiting Knights Templar left Washington, the Hartiord Knights proceeding di- Tectly home, while the Wilmington Pilgrims will remain in Baltimore till to-morrow morning.

AULINE LUCCA. ha ‘Her Zerlina in “Fra Diavolo.” It th scarcely probabie that before the appearance of Madame Lucca in the role of the pretty little of the Italian innkeeper that the ex- Opera of Auber served any other purpose on the stage than to give a handsome tenor with ‘an éclatante voice an opportunity to win the hearta Of the fair ladies present. A naughty bandit, with the grace and polish of a mousquetatre de la Reine, appeals trresistiy to the unreasoning female heart. The spruce little maiden who attends tothe comfort.of her father's guests has been heretofore a very sedondary character, at least when compared to the redoubtable brigand. But Lucca has made Zerlina the feature of the opera. Indeed, without her last might it is hard to tell what would have beem @ feature. Yet the music is in most of the Opera without depth of thought or strength of fecling, It is glittering, noisy and strongly im- pregnated with the element of brass; and its melo- dies, catching as they are, possess little of the sympathetio order. There is a simplicity in the construction of the ensembles and the dramatic coloring that makes it readily understood even by the most untutored car, and a “go” about the music that takes well with the uncritical opera-goer, The fault of most of the writers of the French school is their irresiatible tendency to imitation, and, like all imitators, they fail to reach the standard they aim at, Had Auber loved Rossini tess or bad trusted more to his own promptings, his works, his earlier ones particularly, would be free from many of the blemishes that disfgare them. There is one noble exception in the long catologue of operas by this industrious composer, and that is “La Muette di Portici.” The greatness of Madame Lucca’s abilitics as an actress 18 displayed to rare advantage in the sepond act of the opera, It isno easy task to unite extreme delicacy with fascinating coquetry in a disrobing scene. In watching the minutest details of this portion of the opera one finds always. somethi to admire. hen she sits before her gi and carols forth her joy at the prospect of her approaching marriage “st domani,”” there is something “so artless and forgotten in the guilcless vi in her humble room. Then she conten rates ner face and figure in the glass and her inimitable apos- trophe to her own beauty seems a pardonable display of vanity, that indispensable attribute of a Renee girl, The transition trom this to sinking on her knees and breathing forth a simple prayer to the Holy Mother seems so natural that the stage fades from the view and the eye only beholds Zerlina as Auber painted her. In the last act her anguish at the cruel suspicions of her lover, her bewilder- ment at the Me of the two brigands, who give an impromptu rehearsal of her bedroom ditty, and her cry of petition for a hearing, rise in interest even above the bustling features of the scene. The chorus and orchestra last night were on good terms, and Mr. Maretzek conducted both with the most satis- factory results. Mr. Grill, the chef d’attaque, al- though on some occasions he 1s dilatory in his duty—for instance, in the obligato to “Salve Dimo. ra,” in “Faust,” where he does not keep strictly in tune—is generally reliable, As for the others characters 1n the opera, what shall we say of their representatives ? Vizzani does not seem to catch the abandon and, we might call it, trooper-like swagger of the title rdle, and his voice was again under the weather. This excuse of a cold and hoarseness as affecting the voice of a tenor may be all right as far asthe singer is con- cerned, but the public here will not listen to it more than once. Vizzani’s voice last night was hardly equal to reaching even the ordinary A flat in the song “Young Agnes,” for he gave forth that note with a vory ineffective falsetto or some faint. tone approaching it. Our climate, especially the variable weather we have had for the last month, has pi ed sad pranks with the voices of allnew comers, ut Something must be done to repair these dam- ages, The best Fra Diavolo that has appeared here in many years is Mr. Habelmann, who, what- ever his defects may be in other respects in art, certainly made a successful spectalty of this rdie. Ronconi is always clever and always welcome in his comic element, and one is inclined to forget oc- casional wanderings from the pitch of the orches- tra, The successor of this veteran of ascore of taste campaigns has not yet been discovered. The two brigands (what a feature Sher. Camp- bell and Peakes used to make of them !) were en- trusted to twovery inefficient people. Poor old Weinlich evidently thought he was singing a role in the ‘Tannhauser,” in which we believe it is not always necessary to keepin tune. Two more obtrusive bandits on the patience of a hearer could scarcely be imagined, The unappreciated une: who seems to be laboring under a chronic affection of the throat, and whose voice is infinitessimal in tone, made avery fanny captain of carbiniers. Miss Kell appears at the matinée to-day as Leonora in vatore,’’ and on Monday evening Mme. Lucca repeats her wonderful impersonation of Marguerite in “Faust.” On Wednesday ‘Don Abt the chef Wauvre of Mozart, will be produced with the following cast :— Donna Anna, Miss Kellogg; Donna Elvira, a Boston lady; Zerlina, Mme. Pauline Lucca; Don Ottavio, Signor Vizzani; Don Giovanni, Signor Moriami; Leporello, M. Jamet; Masetto, Signor Ronconi; Comman er M. Coulon. A number of other operas are already in rehearsal and will be produced at an early date. OPERA BOUFFE. iRalinilipnn Damas The Grande Duchesse at the Olympic. The presentation last night of the “Grande Duchesse,’’ with Mile, Aimée in the title rdle, filled the Olympic, notwithstanding the unfavorable nature of the weather. It is saying a good deal for the popularity of opéra bouge that it could bring together so large an audience under such adverse circumstances. When we re- member that the performance is in a foreign language, and that therefore some of the finest points cannot be fully enjoyed by the general public, the wonder will be increased, But in deflance of all obstacles opéra bouge appeals to the public taste, and will undoubtedly establish itself here a8 one of our recognized amusements, Without any very exalted pretentions to high arts, there is sufiicient musical ability displayed to make the entertainment interesting even from the m cal point of view, while the drollery of the carica- tures, which are lightly but artistically sketched, supplies the occasion of a good, hearty laugh. Aim¢ée was as usw arch, brillant, sung well and acted efficiently. She was very well supported by M. Juteau, who comes to us from the Bouttes Parisiennes. He has a good voice, and his ecting in the part of Fritz is finished and well considered. M. Lecuyer as General Boum, M. Marcas as Prince Paul aud M, Duchcsne as Baron Puck gave general satisfaction, and proved themselves experienced and skilful artists, @ whole the performance was remarkably complete, and, if we except a certain weakness in the female voices that we would like to see remedied, leaves little to be desired. MUSICAL AND THEATRICAL NOTES, (iniihiaiimeiiss Mr. Lester Wallack is playing a successful engage- Ment at the Boston Theatre im his own play of “Rosedale.” Mr. J. H. Bonawitz, the pianist, will bring out at Steinway Hall on the 7th prox. @ scherzo, with in- troduction, which he has just finished, for piano and orchestra. Carlotta Patti, Teresa Carreno, Eleanor Sanz, Vizzani, Sauret and Ronconi are announced to ap- it at the Grand Opera House on Sunday even- ing in & choice concert programme. Even royalty is not exempt from the ambition of musical composition. The Duke of Edinburgh (Prince Alfred) thinks more of his alates, Waltz” than he does of the gallant frigate after which it is named. The admirable and chaste comedy “Pygmalion and Gaiatea,’’ at Wallack’s, is not, like the dissolv- ing statue in the drama, to disappear before the very eyes of the public. It is a better play than any of the new comedies recently produced in this city, and is deserving of @ longer life, The New York Mendelssohin Union is out with an address to the musical Christian men and women of New York, declaring a laudable intention to re- vive those musical entertainments of which the oratorio, anthem, cantata and mass form the prin- cipal feature, These grand works of the old mas- ters should not be neglected in this city. ‘That the noble husband of a distinguished prima donna may bé useful after all, was illustrated in the effort of a Lies to enter the room of Adelina Patti at Homberg the other day. She was roused by the burglar’s efforts at her bedroom door, when she awoke the Marquis de Caux, who ran down stairs just in time to see the would-be rob- bers escaping over the garden wall. The arrangement by which Mrs. Boucicault is to be enabled to revive her celebrated character of Jessie Brown at the same time when her husband brings out his new play of “Night and Morning,” favors too much of the dramatic hash business to be generally acceptable, Booth’s Theatre is not a place where two plays are expected in one evening nor are Mr. and Mrs. Boucicault actors from whom any such demand would be made, even i the plan were ac- ceptable. THE TROT BETWEEN LUCY AND OOOIDENT, SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Oct. 18, 1872. ‘The trot between Lucy and Occident bas been postponed until the 26th instante ARKANSAS’ TERRORS. Official Report of the Pope County Emeute. The Civil War Engendered and Fostered by Unsorupulous Politicians. Litre Rook, Ark., Oct. 10, 1872. To His Excellency 0. A, Hapiey, Governor of Ar- kansas :— Sm—In conference with Your Excellency on tho 4th inat., in which you freely stated your views and desires in regard tothe troubles in Pope county, we were honored with a request to proceed to Pope county and ascertain what steps might safely be taken to disband the militia of that county and the More speedily restore quiet and confidence. We were assured that, from the commencement of these difficulties to the present, 1t had been your im to protect the people of that county against violence and bloodshed, and to avert any conflict between any member Of her citizens and the gov- ernment. We were further assured by Your Ex- cellency that quiet and good order was desirable for its own sake, assuring the people that tne general election soon to take place would pe, so far as lay in the power of your administration, free, fair and without restraint or intimidation by the presence of a military force. We also un- derstood you, that, whether wisely and well or not, & strong feeling pervaded the minds of many people of that county against Sheriff Dodson, act- ing as Sheriff; that by advice he had appointed a deputy, believed to be acceptable to all classes; that a military force under General D. P. Upham had been organized to ald the civil officers in the enforcement and execution of the laws. Charged with the pacific intentions of Your Ex- cellency, we together visited Pope county, not for the purpose of arriving at the origin of these un- fortunate difficulties or ascertaining who was in the right and who was in the wrong on both sides, but to determine by conferring with the people how best peace and good order might be obtained. We were most cordially met by every one, and the object of our mission highly appreciited by the people of that county. There seemed tous to be an indefinable appre- hension, widely existing, which the mere prospect Ong ey and peace relieved. lany good citizens nad left the county and are still absent, fearing that on one side or the other they would be drawn into trouble. We are satisfied that much of the bad fecling ex- eo in Pope county has been engendered and tos- tered by unscrupulous politicians, Reports have been Latest Capat « circulated among the people of that county that Your Exccllency’s object was to pierce a registration, or permit only our own political friends to vote; that General Jpham was a bad man and unworthy of conti- dence, and that the life of a citizen falling into his hands would be insecure. These various reports can be traced to the capital, and if not intended to aggravate the trouble have had that etfect, On the other hand, Judge are Court being in session at Dover, writs were being tasued by a magistrate for the arrest of men who have hercto- fore stood high in the community, and who have not been in arms at any time against the civil authorities. This was adding to the genera! uneasi- ness, The attention of his honor, Judge May, being Sallett to these cases, he promptiy restored them to rey. Sherif Dodson having resigned his office, and declined to be a candidate tor re-election, has of itself, in a great measure, restored confidence, and opened the way to a peaceful adjustment of the troubles, Without desiring even to suggest who should be appointed to succeed in the ofice of Sherif! we may be permitted to say that Mr. Ewing, the present deputy, as also A, 8. Fowler, of the Governor's Guards, enjoys the confidence of. all parties, and either, we believe, would be satisfactory. We made an appointment to meet those who, it was alleged, were in arms against the civil authori- ties, but owing to @ misunderstanding as to time and plice, we did not see all of them. We, how- ever, met about forty, and Mr. Clark afterward met about twenty-five others, who claimed that they were only endeavoring to protect themselves. We informed them of ie pacific intentions of Your Excellency, that Sherif? Dodson had resigned; thatsome person not objectionable to either party would be ap- pointed, and could we be satistactorily assured that no further violence would be attempted the militia would be disbanded; that whatever trials were had in the Courts would take place after all excitement had died away; that all citizens save Poynter and Hale would -return to their homes without molestation, and that these two, if they saw fit to surrender themselves to the civil au- thorities, or were arrested by them, would be pro- tected in their personal safety while under arrest as zealously as Would be any other citizen of the State. Each one severally pledged himseli to observe the peace toward all the people, whether in militia or not, and that they would return to their homes and do all if their power to aid in the preservation of ence, Z It is due Sheriff Dodson and these men to state that they would not pledge themselves that no one would not moijest him; that some being absent who had special animosity toward him, they did not want to hold themselves responsible for any collision that migut possibly take place between him and them, Mr. Clark, who afterwards saw others, inciuding Poynter and Hale, and who stated the above substantially to them, informs us that they all pledged tne: yea lo preserve the peace toward all the peop! the county without excep- tion, Soar as we could ascertain it is desired by all parties that th vernor’s Guards, who by their manly and correct deportment enjoy the confi- dence of the people, should remain, at least until aiter the election Judge bk we understood, would adjourn his Court the day alter we leit, a | already «is- charged the petit jury. No case had or would have been tried at this termof the Pope county Circuit Court, except oid ones, and then not against the expressed wish of a defendant. We are satisfied from our examination that the Pope county militia may safely be disbanded, and this not so much from the pledges given us by those who had banded together, as from the people, who are in no manner mixed up with the troubles. We therefore recommend to your Excel- lency that the Pope county militia be disbanded; that the Governor’s Guards remain in said county, under General Upham, or some other discreet per- gon, with strict injunctions to preserve the peace between all parties, and that some worthy citizen, joying the confidence of all the people, be ap- pointed to succeed in the office of Sherif. Trusting and Lenstarhile 8 that such a course will immediately restore quiet and confidence, we have the honor to our obedient servants, W. 1. WARWIOK, E. H. ENGLISH, SOL. F. CLARK, JAMES 8. WOLFE, Governor Hadley’s Special Committee In- vestigating the Late Disgraceful Riots in Osceola. Mewpnis, Tenn., Oct. 18, 1972. Colonel Dorsey, of Helena, and Mr. Asa Hedges, of Crittenden county, who were appointed by Gov- ernor Hadley, of Arkansas, to investigate the late riots at Osceola, Ark., are in this city, and took testimony of various parties at the Overton Hotel yesterday.

Fitzpatrick, the leader of the blacks, is in this city. The Osceola Troubles at an End. [From the Memphis Avalanche, Oct. 16.] The most recent advices from the late seat ot war in Arkansas are to the effect that the troubles are about at an end, and no fears are now enter- tained of another outbreak. Several gentlemen came over from Marion, the county seat of Crit- tenden county, yesterday and reported that no armed men are joitering about that place nor are there any apprehenstons of there being any. The Courts are in session at Marion, and everything goes on regularly and ghana The authorities will not countenance any interference on the part of the citizens of Crittenden, either white or black, 1n diMcuities in the adjoining county. A telegram ‘was sent Governor Hadley, of Arkansas, from this city last evening, asking permission to organize a commission of disinterested citizens to visit Os- ceoia, and inquire into the facts concerning the re- cent riot there, with the view of making an accu- rate and unbiassed report in relation to their ori- gin and progress. This course is deemed necessary on the part of those having interests in nna | county, because of the numerous ex: rated stories that have been promulgated concerning the late troubles, GENERAL STANLEY'S YELLOWSTONE EXPE.
