Incidents Of the Campaign.

The correspondent of the N. Y. Spirit

the gallant May, in the front rank was
himself, poor INGE and 1t. SAcKETT.-
When May gave the word CHARGE, Sack
ett's horse being little the quickest, got
the start In the midst of a shower of
grape, May said to Sackett that's not fairl
You took the jump of me. Lieut.. Sack
ett's horse was at that moment shot and
fell with him into a water hole. He fell
upon the Lieut.. who with great difficulty
disengaged himself with the loss of his
sword. He took another horse and
sword from a dragoon, and again joined
in the fight.
Corporal Farrell of the 4th infantry,
with ten men came up to Lieut.. HAYS Of
the 9TH and exclaimed. Lieutenant, If Toe

CONGRESS.

The following account of the proceed
ings of Congress is furnished by the
Washington correspondent of the Lancas-
ter Examiner, under date of June 27.-
We have room only for several extracts
from his letter.
On Wednesday, the lahors Of the week
commenced. The discussion in the House
was almost exclusively on the tariff bill,
and has been kept up from day to day
with considerable animation, though with
great decorum, and perfect good feeling

the people, at the election in 1874, discar-
ded political and party feeling, and stood
shoulder to shoulder sustaining the inter-
est of themselves and their own State,
with the same unanimity, zeal, ability and
good feeling that their representatives now
do on the floor of Congress-we should
now, instead of waging an unnecessary
and expensive war with Mexico, and a
still more unnecessary and destructive
| war upon the industry and prosperity of
the country, be peaeeably and quietly en-
Joying all the blessings that a proper ad-
lninistration of our free government would
confer; exempt from those gloomy antiei-
pations, and fearful apprehensions, that
cast cloud Of despair over the mind of
every one who feels an interest in his
country's welfare. Eight of the Pennsyl-
vania delegation have spoken of the ques-
ton, and some half dozen Of them are yet
waiting for an opportunity to express
their views. On Thursday, Mr.. Brod-
head, Of Northampton co., (Democrat,)
addressed the Committee. He was strong
and decided in favor of the Tariff Of AZ,
and opposed TO the present bill.
To-day, Mr.. Pollock, of Pa, address
ed the Committee in an able manner, and
exposed the conduct Of the leading Locos

better tariff man than Henry Clay

adverted to the fact, that the present Sec
retary of State Mr.. Buchanan had adj
dressed public meetings in various places,
in the fall of 1914, in Pennsylvania, in
which he had stated that the tariff would
be as safe, or safer, in the hands Of James
K. Polk, than it would be under the adj
ministration Of Henry Clay. This state
ment, thus openly and boldly made on the
floor of Congress. created considerable
sensation in the House, as many of the
members were utterly astonished TO learn
that any honorable gentleman would haz-
ard his reputation, by making such asser-
tons as were here attributed to the digni-
tary alluded TO.
But fear that all those arguments and
speeches will be unavailing; the tariff is
doomed to destruction, SO far as the Honse
Of Representatives is concerned. | fear
100, that even in the Senate its fate can
not be averted.

Total Darkness--A Sublime
Spectacle.

Sagna La Grande, on the island of Gu
ba was the only place where total dark
ness was produced by the eclipse OF the
Sun on the 25th uIt. A letter from that
place in the New York Sun, communi-
Gates the observation of DIR, Styles;
The eclipse commeeced at Oh. Am.
30s. A. NJ, sky clear. Fahrenheit's
thermometer at 20 deg. As the time of
the total darkness approached, all ami
mated nature gave signs of approaching
night, man only excepted. He of course
repaired TO the most favorable points of
observations; but but the gala day amuse-
ments which usually accompany gen.
eral turn out here, were wanting on this
occasion. The hilarity and mirth OF
our gay Dons and Senoras gave place TO
indications OF chastened feelings and ei
emotions of awe at this sublime evidence
of Almighty power. The slaves aband-
| oned their occupations, and in many
cases they might be seen on their knees
worshipping our great Creator. Nor

far forget their dependence on God in
the thick darkness which surrounded us
at midday, as to refuse to worship and
adore Him.
The darkness came upon us gradually
and seventeen minutes past eleven, the
sun was totally obscured There stood
the moon, covering the whole face of the
sun. and presenting the appearance of a
great black ball in the heavens, with rays
of light diverging from it. The rays gave
out pale aurora like reflection upon the
earth resembling that cast by the moon
when half full. This lasted only fifty
seconds, and at little past twelve the
eclipse ended. There was no perceptitle
change in the thermometer. A few'scien-
tiic gentlemen from London and Paris,
sent out by their respective governments,
came here to take observations, and have
been highly pleased with the result, the
day being altogether favorable. They
had all the necessary instruments with
them, and will no doubt publish an in
teresting statement TO the scientific
world.

to. Not at all. All parties voted for the
bill OH its passage. What he said
was this, and it was strictly correct, that
on the distinct and separate proposition to
fix ten dollars month instead of seven
as The pay of the volunteers, on that bill
all the Locofocos but eight had voted a.
gainst ten dollars instead of seven dollars
month, which was proved by the yeas
and nays, which were recorded, and the
gentleman himself was one of those who
voted to reduce the pay from ten dollars
to seven dollars per month, which he now
denounced as a SANDER. The gentleman
had better look at the yeas and nays be-
fore he undertook to contradict what had
been said by others. The journals prov
ed the truth of every word he Mr. Stew
artl had said. The gentleman from Ohio
(Mr. Sawyer) had deliberately voted two
or thrse times against giving the volunteers
ten dollars month. 1t was recorded; he
could not escape; it was folly TO try TO
scratch out of it; the journal held him fast;
and he would advise him that the less the
gentleman said about it the better.
But, as the gentleman seemed to dis
like his position,to to give him Il his friends
another chance to put themselves right,
and to do justice TO our brave volunteers,
HE WOULD NOW RENEW HIS MOTION To IN
srRUcr THE COMMITTEE ON MILITARY
AFFAIEs TO REPORT A BILL GIVING THE
VOLUNTEERS, AND REGULARS ALSO,
TEN DOLLARS A MONTH, AND TO THOSE WHO
SERVE TO THE END OF THE WAR, AND THE
VICE, ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ACRES OF
LAND.
The SPEAKER decided that the mo-
ton was not now in order, and here the
matter dropped.

The Cholera.

The Montreal Herald says that the
report Of a case of Asiatic Cholera in
Quebec has not been confirmed, but cases
OF ordinary Cholera, always yielding to
proper treatment, had been prevalent in
the country. Still the Montreal Herald
thinks it necessary to call on the public
authorities to keep the city clean, and be
prepared for any exigency. The Chol-
era this year has made its appearance in
Persia; has crossed the Russian boundary
to Tifiin, has crossed the Volga, and is
about 1900 miles from st. Petersburg.

THE STING OF A LOCUST AL
MOST FATAL.

The Washington, Pa, Examiner says:
On Monday of last week, lady of this
place was stung upon the knuckle of the
third finger of the left hand by a Locust,
which produced immediate swelling ia
the vicinity of the wound, and considera-
BILE pain in the hand and lower part of the
arm. The symptoms seeming somewhat
alarming, physician was called in, who
upon examination found the finger to be
greatly infamed, and red streak, about
the one fourth of an inch in diameter, ex-
tending from the wound up the arm to
the elbow. In a short time the stripe pro-
gressed to the shoulder, tho pain still in
creasing. The physician having cut out
the flesh in which the injury was receiv-
ed, and cauterizcd it, began a course of
medical treatment for the purpose of
checking the progress of its poisonos aHec-
ton in the system. During the night,
violent, ''shooting pains" were felt at In
tervals, through the chest and other parts
Of the body, with sickness atthe stomach,
and repeated vomiting. By Tuesday
morning, after good deal of suffering,
the patient became better, and is now en-
tirely relieved, save from the weakness
incident to undergoing a course of med
icine. We notice this IN after especially
for the purpose Of furnishing indisputable
proof that Locusts can and will sting, and
that their sting is poisonous.

Triumph of the Law.

New HAMPsHIRE.-The House of Rep
resentatives OF this State ON Thursday or
dered to third reading bill TO divide
the State into districts for the choice OF
Representatives to Congress by the over
whelming majority of 1873 to 35. This
is one of the subjects upon which the
Radical Democracy of the State have
heretofore made stringent opposition ever
since the law was passed by Congress.
Some few Of the leaders still resist, but
the sound good sense of the House has
prevailed.
The bill divides the State very fairly,
both as to politics and population. No
county is broken, and each district is as
compact as it we'll can be, while the pop
ulation is nearly equal. The districts are
laid down as follows:

DARING RoBBERY.-We learn through
the Ohio State Journal, that Mr.. Brown
OF Licking, in that State, was robbed of
$1,000, on Wednesday night of the 10th
ult, between II and l o'clock, near the
National road. He was stopped by four
ruffians, his arms fastened behind him,
his feet tied beneath the horses belly,
and after his money was taken from him
ne was suffered 10 90 wherever his horse
chose to carry him. In this condition
he was found by neighbor, who reIeas-
ed him. No trace of the robbers has been
discovered.

Stewart and the Soldiers.

FThe following polite correction
was handed 10 the Editor of the Messen-
ger with request TO publish. He, how
ever, refused to make the correction by
returning the manuscript.
House Of Representatives.
WASHINGTON, June 18th, 1916.
Editor of the Messenger:
SIR Il see in your pa
paper of the 9Th inst an extract from the
g Pittsburg Morning POST in which the
editor says, in an article headed {" Pay Of
Tolunfeers :"
"Mr. STEWART, the Wing member of
Congress from the Fayette and Greene
District has been quite industrious in his
efforts to retard the action of Congress on
the saveral bills making provision for the
vigorous prosecution of the war with
Mexico, by offering amendments. Mr.
Stewart was apparently very anxious to
have the pay of volunteers increased 10
SO per month"
Now, sir, did not offer a single a.
mendment, or utter one word to "retard
the action Of Congress" on any of the
bills making provision for the vigorous
prosecution of the war with Mexico. On
the contrary, IUoted for all Of them, as
the Journals shew.
The Editor next says elf Mr..
Stewart really believed the pay inadequate
and desired lis increase why did he re-
fuse to include the Regulars (? MIR. Stew
art we think, from the TACT that he re-
fused to include the regulars, was much
more anxious TO retard the action of Con-
gress upon the important bill to which he
offered the amendment, than 10 secure an
increase Of pay for volunteers"
Here the editor of the "Post" is e.
qually at fault, for | subsequently offered
the same proposition, INCLUDING TIE
REGULARS as we'll as volunteers, with no
better success, so that there is not the
slightest foundation for any Of the ch argos
made.
Having published the article from the
. Post, you viii do me the justice, l
trust, 10 publish also this brief statement.
A. STEWART.
sG"And why did the Editor of the
Messenger refuse to publish this article
from Mr.. Stewart! Was 1t because they
intend still to assail his motives? 30 shame
where is thy blush!'-Green Co. Dem.

INDIAN NEWS MISS PARKER
AND OTHER CAPT1VES.

Captain Rice arrived from the Council
Ground on Thursday last--to him we are
indebted for the annexed items of Indian
news.
Col. Leonard II. Williams with a par
iy Of ten others, was detached TO Pabuca's s
camp on the false Washita; on The 29th
April, he sent a runner to Governor But
Ter, informing him Of having found Miss
Parker, and yellow girl, in the Canaan
che camp. The former was acquainted
with Col Williams in the early and hap
py days Of her existence. During his
stay, she continued to weep necessarily.
Twelve mules and two mule loads Of mer-
chandise were offered for her, bat refused
by the Indians, who say they will die
rather than give her up. No situation
can be depicted to our minds replete with
half the horrors Of that unfortunate young
lady's,
Our Government should claim her with
strong hand, the sword should be made
to ayenge and to libcrate. 1t is useless
TO talk of treating with those barbarians,
until they are first humbIed by chastise-
ment.
The appearance Of Col. Williams ere
ated considerable excitement among the
Camanches. The young warriors laid a
plan TO murder him and his companions,
which was overheard d by Mexican boy,
(oRe Of the many prisoners Of that nation
among the Indians, who gave timely no

med the protection OF Pahauca. The

flying his men.
Buffalo Hump acknowledges that his
party killed several Germans near San
Antonio, we suppose at Castroville,) he
is consequently afraid TO trust himself a.

a German boy about nine or ten years OF
age from his band.

There are about three hundred Indians
at the Council ground, representing the
Cherokees, Shawnces, Delawares, Ionies,
Anadacocs, Kickapoos, Iankahuas, Ii
pans, Keechies, and Wacoes.
Pahauca, with an Am2arico Chief, was

LATEST FROM THE ARMY.

Accounts from Brasos Santiago to tn,
l4th ult. bring news of report that the
town Of Reynosa, against which the OK
petition Of Col. WILSON had started, was
surrendered without resistance.
In addition to the above, the Mobile
Tribune says:

ted in advance Of the movement of Cen

means of Transporting his troops up the
Rlo Grande to march towards them.

ernor Henderson, at the head Of about one
thousand Texan troops, reached the
banks of the Rio Grande on the 10th in
slant. Seventeen warriors of the Tonk-
away tribe of Indians accompanied the
Texans. The sight of these Indians
created much alarm to the inhabitants OF
Matamoras and its vicinity, as they fear
that Gen. Taylor viii let them loose upon
them.
