An Averted Duel Over an Insult to the Memery of Grant—News From the National Oapital, FIGHTING FOR ALLAY, A MONSTRR ARMY MARCHING THROUGH THE INTERIOR OF AFRICA, WasHiNato, D. O., August 2. —Secretary of State Bayard is in receipt of a dispatch from Sierra Leone, giving account of tho movements of an army of 100,000 men in the interior of Africa, The dispatch is dated July 14th last, and was sent by United States Consul Lewis, Mr. Lewis says: I have the honor to bring to the notice of the depart- ment ofjstate the fact of an extraordinary movement among the Mohammedaus of the Nigritian regions extendiog from Timbucteo on the west coaat, Tt appears that in 1850 a Mardingo named Samudu, of extraordinary intelligence and energy, conceived the idea that he was called of God'to wage awar for the rupprestion of paganism and that of the opening of roads to the coast, which in certain districts have been for gonerations subject to excessive blackmail and to the planderings of vazabond tribes, During the last five years he hss col- ectrd an_srmy, consisting of foot and horse of about 100,000 men, Mohammedan youth wherever ho goes flock to his standard, not only to recure the reward in the hereafter promised to those who fight for their religion, but to carry off the rich ep.ils of timo which those expeditions that battle for the faith are sure to win, It is said that Samudu’s army is divided into threa portions. One is opérating near tho head waters of the Niger, This portion recently drove certain French troops from the gold regions of Bourse, of which they had taken possession, and are now beseging Bam- maks, a large town on_tho Niger, occupied about three years by the French, who have erected fortifications there, ANOTHER PORTION OF THE ARMY is operating in the regions east of Liberia, and by suppressing disturbing elements, un- fettering trade aud introducing & knowledge of religion and latters, is in one sense of the word the openiog way for negro immigrants of intelligence and energy from America to puth out from the Africa American republic to the healthy and fertile regions of the in- terior, I another rense it is forestalling the whole region for the DMohan.medans, and makiog it d fficult, if not impossible, if, in- deed, it is desirable, to cenvert that country to tho faith imparted from America by the immigrants. “The third portion of the army is approach- ing the coast a few miles northwest of Sierra TLeone, Ic has secured submiesion by force or by voluntary sucrender of all tribes on ths way for 500 miles back, The largest aud moat important Pagan kingdom on this side of the Niger was Toolima, of which Talaba, a large commercial city, was the_ capital. For the last sixty years tho Fulah Mohammedans have been erlng by diplomacy ana by arms to subdue this city to their faith, but 1t has alweys SUCCESSFULLY RESISFED BOTH WARKIOR, Last yosr Samudu's army, in overwhelming numbers, surrounded it and called upon_the DIPLOMAT AND king to surrender and profess Islam. ~This he refused tofdo,. The town was then in- vested, and affer @ terriblo sieze of five months, tho king assembled his royal family and the principal chiofs in his powder house, and informed them that ho could_hold out no longer, a3 bis resourcos wero exhausted, but having for moro than two hundred years be- longed to the ruling element, ho was deter- mined for himeelf and family to die rather than como under Mohammedan rule. He ) | Bave his chiofs their choice, either to die with him, or go out of the town and give them- selves up to the enemy, They decided to die with him, HE THEN SET FIRE TO THE POWDER and they were all blown up, Thus ended the Soolima power, which for mure than seven generations had Ivflaenced trade and politica in the extensive districts, and had command- ed tho principal highways to the const. Another very important achievement of this army 1 the destruction of the Hooboo power, an irresponsible organization which for thirty years has been a_source of annoyance and logs to caravans passing from the interior to the const, Samudu gave orders to attack them in their mountain strongholds, which, until then, had proved unaccessible to the neighboring foroos. Thsy wero surprised, Their chiof, Abil, " was captured wud - deoapitatod, aud his ARMS AND LEGS, SEVERKD FROM THE TRUNK, Were 8ent to the various countries where ths 1uhavitants had suffered from his predatory and murderous proceedings, The Hooboos are described as renegade Faulahs in rebollion sgainst the king of the Lombos. The roads have now been cleared of these thieves and ‘murderers, 8o that an unprotected child or fo- mle may travel in safety all through that atstrict. These operations will not be without asalu- snbsequently seat him & challenge to fight u duel. . The latter declined on the ground that It was contrary to navy regulations. Thereupon Me. Conkling sent him word he would shoot him on sight. The lieutenant then accepted the challenge but the admiral interfered, and prevented him from leaving the ship.

Tho price for October was driven down to 80ch, and the finish on the regular bosrd was neatly at the inside prices. There was @ stronger fecling on the afternoon board, and the market was carried up lc, closing rather firm. Considerable wheat was placed on sale owing to exhausting marcins, but not— withstanding the severo break, no failures of any kind were reported, and 'there was to- ward tho close cousiderable buying reported for tho *long” account, CORN, The market was active and unsottled.
