Dr.. Geo. Sumner delivered his lecture in
dson, few evenings since, with great
lfsfaction to his hearers. The Madison
raai states the following as one OF the
4sidents of the occasion:
q In the course Of his lecture an incident
lfurred indicative of the sensatiyeness OF
- popular mind to the past impurities oil
lRstow and the balance, in their manag &C.
lent Of the school funds ard lands. MIR.
\ was speaking of The school fund and the
llhool lands of Greece, and the attempts OF
1ftain reckless and unprincipled specula-
n and corrupt politicians to pervert the
<hd, and 30 get possession OF the lands at
9unnal rates for the purposes OF specuia-
D.. Every word seemed as if specially
eigned to apply to the Barstow admins
= ton, and the lecturer, while denounclng
Del baseness, was interrupted by perfect
Enpest of applause. Stamping and clap
Jhg of hands from all parts of the room
\ every sentence. He looked sorely puz-
3ed, and slightly suspicious that the audi
Pee were quizzing him. Alter the lecture
las over and the mystery cleared up, by
prisfactory explanation, he confessed that
r. applause somewhat confused him, as he
gas not aware OF any especial innate excel
fnce in the particular portion OF his lecture
,hich was greeted with such measure OF
Pprobation."

hours preceding the attack, the town had

turned to the ship. The batteries were
then opened from the Decatur. and grape,

shells and shot were thrown wherever any
signs of Indians appeared. By 10 p. M.

nation that the Indians had attacked some
whites about miles from the garrison-
