THE PACIFIC ROAD.

The New Hampshire Patriot publishes the speech
of Col. jefferson Davis in Philadelphia, on this sub
ject and adds
"The project of Railroad from the Mississippi to
the Pacific is occupying much public attention and
the subject of considerable discussion in the news
papers. Additional interest has been given to the
matter by the favorable reference made to it by two
members of the Cabinet in public addresses on the
Presidents late visit to Philadelphia and by the able
articles in favor of it which have appeared in the
Washington Union. 1t has been inferred from these
facts that the enterprise to receive the favor of the
administration and be urged as a Government meas
ure. Whether this inference isecorrect or not we
have no means of knowing and it is not present
purpose to inquire; nor do we propose to discuss
the question of the constitutonaity or eXpedisncy
of the project. The speech of Gen. Davis, the Sec
rotary of War; in which he spoke of this matter,
made at Philadelphia; and as it has been made the
subject of speculation, discussion and CRITICISM
will give to readers that portion of it which
lates directly to the Pacific Railroad and leave them
to judge how far it commits him the administra-
ton to the project and also to judge of the plausi
biity soundness of his argument in
regard to it"

"SToP MY PAPER" New Orleans paper says:
"The Russian Minister has acted as native nincom-
pOops occasionally do, and ordered the Washington
Union to be stopped because it contained an article
which did not please him. The Russian Bear is a
greater fool than we took him to be-" Mr.. Bodisco
no doubt thought the Union would at once cease to
be- Some persons, who become offended at the indie
pendence of an Editor and "stop their paper, are
surprised because the paper does not at once go

BUFFALO, August II: The Episcopal Convention
of the Western Diocese of New York assembled here
this afternoon. Lay Delegates were reported from
81 Parishes. Among those present are Bishop De-.
ancey and Hon. W ashington Hunt. Bishop Delan-
cey in his official report referred with regret to the
apostacy of Bishop Ives and attributed it to mental
alteration as he knew personally that Bishop Ives
was insane in 1885, and that insanity hereditary
in his family. The amount raised in the Diocese for
Church purposes, for the year, was 81, 800.

New ORLEANS, Aug gust IL The fever continues

has now become matter of difficulty to find work
to dig the graves, and 125 bodies haze been burn

232, of which 2O6 persisted from the fever. The
total for the week sums up 1882, of which 1861

The Indian BattIe-Deteat Of the Siour Indians
Flee Hundred Reported as killed.
LOUISVILLE, Aug. 15 returned Californian,
who has reached Independence, gives the following
account of the Indian battle before reported hav
ing occurred between the Sioux and Pawnee In
dams
The Sioux were aided in the war by the Chey-
cones Indians, and the combined forces about
5000 strong. The Pawnees were assisted by the
Iowas, Sacs and Pottawattomies, numbering in all
about 5000. The opposing force met about fifty
miles from Fort Kearney, and the battle lasted all
day, resulting in the loss both sides, of from five
to six hundred killed. The Sioux party, though the
most numerous, defeated.
A person who has in from Fort Laramiesays
the above is exaggerated, but says that great dem
onstraton is being made, and had not the Pottawat
tonnes interfered, the Pawnees would have been de-
fcated. He thinks that hundreds instead of thous-
ands would be nearer tn mari as to the actual
Der engaged, and the number killed was doubtless
also much exaggerated.

Putnams Monthly It's success remarkable among
literary undertakings, proves the genuineness of
the national welcome with which the prospectus
was received and the manner in which its pro

To have demonstrated that an original Ameri-
can Magazine can command the lively interest and
substantial support of the American Public, and
challenge the admiration of foreign criticism, is a
success of which the publishers proud.
They will spare no effort in deserving even
greater favor. They still believe, as they said al
the commencement of the undertaking. that "a
popular magazine must amuse, interest, aud IN
struct." They have still undated faith in the
oppulence of our own native resources, and they
appeal 10 the experience of the last six months 10
show with what reason.
The first volume is now complete, and may be
had neatly bound in cloth, price 81 co.
The first edition of the June number consists of
thirty-fve thousand copes-a greater circulation
than has ever before been attained by original
