that clty.s
Mr. F. r. Saunders, a gentleman who arrived in Gal
weston from Chihuahua the l4th inst informs the edi
tor of the News that he met the u 5 troops bound for
FL Paso at Los Moros. They had found good road
and would continue to do and all in good health
and spirits. Mr. S. also met several companies Of ci
on the route to the gold REGION all OF whom seemed
lest them lie left the ella on the list OF June, and
tradlcs the reports Of gold having been found there
Thelarge Government train which LETT San Antonio
early in June for Ell Paso, proceeded as tar Turkey
Greek fourteen miles west of the Nueces, where they
halted and despatched runners to the Rio Grande for the
purpose Of procuring fresh supply OF mules, those with
which they started being completely broken down and the
forage nearly all exhausted.
The cholera reported TO be raging at Fredericksburg
an epidemic; thirty persons had died at the last ac-
counts.
Brevet Major CoIlnson Gates, of the 9Th regiment
T. S. Infantry died OF ii al that place the 18th ult =
Major Gates was brave and gallant officer and served
can war at the Resaca de la Palma, where he
wounded As soon as he recovered from his wound he
oined Scots wing OF the army, and bore gallant part

The undersigned Ministers of the Gospel, and Pastors
OF Churches in the city OF Richmond and its vicinity
heartily concurring the recommendation of the Presi
dent of the United States, that FRIDAY the Sd of Au-
gust ensuing should be observed day of public fast
ing humiliation and prayer, in view Of the wide spread
and fearful ravages OF the cholera esteem our privilege
to give public expression to the following sentiments:
We regard this recommendation as eminenty proper
because is wisely adapted to promote the temporal and
spiritual the private and public advantage OF all to whom
it is addressed.
The recommendation Of the President also timely. 1t
not only ebodles most important and fundamental truth
and rule OF action in respect of dependence upon God
for life health and prosperity and our obligation peneny
and humby to seek his face and avor-bu The present
peculiar crcnmstdnceS Of Distress bereavement and
mOWnRg IN wnlch every conemplative mind and tender
heart in this Republic may well feel deep religious in
erest and sympathyhese circumstances invest the pro-
clamaton OF our Chief Magistrate with peculiar and OBJ
vious proprety.
We gratefully recognize it the proper p,eroeatue Of
the incumbent OF the seat OF National Honor and Auto-
rity to issue such recommendation The measure is
sanctioned by the high precedens of our revolutionary
atherstle lsa sc IS plainly national and American Calls
oil the sort are obserVances of national days of concern
worship before GOD, OF among the characteristic pa
trioc and time honoed of country In the agones Of
the revolution, there eight public fasts and as many
thanksgvngs proclaimed by Congress In the late war
with Great Britain, OF us well remember near its
commencement, 1Sl2 fast was appointed by President
Madison and tins as consequent the recommendation
IN Joint resolution IN both Houses of Congress And
ter SO lately as 1874 on occasion oil the sudden death of
President Harrison, after brief month only of official
service in that exalted station This we deem enough
to attest the measure as stamped with the appreciation Of
the American peoples nor need we enlarge on the idea
that in the present case ii enanaes well and wisely from
the Head OF the nation in the OF Congress its only
practicable source. The President of great christian
people is acting only in characteonly in conformity TO
their sentiments and wishes-ony for their best vel
fare, in adopting it,"
Without pretending to dictate to- or to control the free
dom Of our fellow christians and citizens is our earnest
hope that the day specified may be regiously and appro
pratey observed here and elsewhere throughout our be-
loved country that so far may betound possibly consist
ent, all secular business may, with common consent be
put aside that the people at large may be found their
chosen places worship hbing themselves before God,
and with earnest and united prayer, mplorng his par
donng grace, his healing and protecting power and the
continuance OF his mercy unto a community and
as nation-n the name of our atonng mediator, Jesus
Christ.

CHARLES F. OSBORNE.
DR.. VIM. COLLINS, THE FIRST AUDITOR.

Some days ago, Geographic despatch dated
Washington, July 22d, was copied under our post
script head, from the New York Express, stating
that serious charges had been brought against Dr.
VIM. Collins, the LIST Auditor, for frequent absence
from his post, and for leaving signed certificates in
blank for his clerks, any else to fill up, with
what accounts they pleased.
We have seen letter from DR.. Collins to gen.
teman in this city, in which he entirely denies the
truth OF these charges, and states that soon as he
saw them in the papers, he went to the Secretary
to ascertain if any such charges had been lodged
against him; that the Secretary being out, he was
informed by the clerk in whose care such papers are
kept, that no such charges had been filed, and he
had never heard of any such; and, finally. that in
an interview with the Secretary himself, he was
by him assured that no such charges had been made,
and that he had not even seen the publication au-
ded TO.
1t gives us pleasure to publish DIR. Collins denial,
it always does to do strict justice to every one
who deems himselfinjured by anything that appears
in our columns.
