youthful Charles III. the throne; who it will be
remembered was assasinated before his own palace
IN 1924. AS soon as Charles III. came to the throne
the then Baron Ward was sent to Germany bv his
patron as Minister Plenpotentiary, to represent
Parma at the court of Vienna. This post he held
up to the time of his royal patrons tragical end
w hen the present Duchess Regent assumed State
authority Ward retired from public life and took
to agricultural pursuits in the Austrian dominons
Without any educational foundation he contrived
to write and speak German, French and Italian,

wardness. Baron Ward was married to an humble
person of Vienna, and has left four children Per-
haps no man of modern times passed a more varied
and romantic life than Ward, the groom, states
man and friend of sovereigns From the stable he
rose to the highest offices of little kingdom at a
period of great European political interest and died
IN retirement, pursuing the rustic occupation of
farmer, carrying with him to the grave MANY

GIRL WoUNDTNG AND PURSUING A BuRGLAR.-
A few days ago. the Rev. John Parker of Carmel
futnam county, New ork, had occasion to leave
home During the night, young English girl, a
domestic in the house, was awakened bv noise
proceeding from the next room. She arose. and
arming herself with a corn slash, Il formidable
weapon, went boldly into the next room to learn
the cause, when she a huge black arm thrust
through the window into the room, attempting to
reach the fastening inside. She ordered the in
truder to leave, and the order being unheeded the
corn slash descended with great force upon the arm
between the wrist and the elbow, ncting a fearful
cash.
The negro did not wait for further orders but left
the house, and ran across meadow, followed by the
brave girl, with the bloody corn slash in her hand
The next morning traces of blood were tracked to A
considerable distance
The negro remained quiet until last week when
Or. Adams was called to dress the wound and found
that the limb would have to be amputated for want
of timely care.
The Savannah Republican saws of the yellow fe
yer in that city: 1t still "drags its slow length
along" and, without presenting a fatality at all
alarming, will probably continue to do so until a
killing frost shall put an end to the invader The
cases are now much fewer in number than they
were a week ago, but their virulence has rather
been increased than diminished
In view of the large number who died durinr the
week from causes not peculiar to an unhealthy at
mosphere, there is no ground for discouragement
IN the aggregate mortality. Still, the exhibit shows
an unusual amount OF sickness, and that it would
be the part OF prudence in such of our citizens as
are absent and are not compelled by any emergency
IN their business affairs to return-especallv those
who are accustomed to spend their summers abroad
or at the NOrth-to remain where thev are for the
present. To such there can be no security until
after frost.
TIE RECENT FIGHT WITH THE CAMANCHES.
Inc following letter, from gentleman attached
10 The United States surveying party in the Indian
territory TO his relative IN this city, furnishes some
additional information in regard to the recent fight
between detachment of United States troops un-
der command of Major Van Dorm, and a party of
Camanche Indians
FoRT ARBUCKLE, &C. N, Oct 2, 1853.
An express has just arrived from Major Van
Dorn's command for supplies and medical assis-
tance. They had engagement yesterday with
three hundred Camanches encamped near the Wit
chita village some fifty miles northwest of this
place. Major Van Dorm was badly wounded in the
arm and abdomen, and his recovery is considered
very doubtful. Lieut.. Van Camp fell, pierced
through the heart by an arrow. Five soldiers were
Killed and several are missing, including the hos
pital steward with the medicines. Two unfortu-
nate Witchitas were also killed; one of them was
well known to all as good reliable man. Thirty
Camanches fell. They had lost all their horses,
over three hundred, few days previous, they be-
ing stolen by the Texan Indians accompanying Mai.
V. DIS. troops.
DR.. Gaenslen, U. S. Army, with twenty men
and wagon and ambulance, has started, and will
reach the of the unor tunate occurrence to-
morrow, near noon, if no accident happens. The
road is very rough Much anxiety exists for the
party of fifty men under Lieut.. Burnett, now en-
camped on Otter Creek, protecting the depot of
supplies. 1t must be many days before any assist
ance can be afforded him. This small party could
not withstand band of exas perated Camanches.
This conflict is very unfortunate from the fact
that the Camanches attacked were those that were
to visit this post to return horses stolen from this
neighborhood some time since They were the only
band friendly, and might have been instrumental
IN bringing to peace the rest of the tribes. They
had already sent in by the Wichita chief several of
the stolen horses and were coming in with the rest,
when the Indians accompanying Major Van DOrn's
troops stampeded three hundred and fifty of their
horses, including those to be returned here The
horses being stolen, the Witchitas persuaded the
Camanche chiefs not to follow then, but
that they would send in word to the
commanding officer that their horses were
all stolen. Captain Prince replied that they need
not come in without the horses, and also gave the
Wichita chief letter to be shown to Major Van
Dorm, informing him that they were friends This
letter suppose the Witchitas were afraid to take
to Major Van Dorm. 1t is very much to be re-
GREETED that some messenger was not sent to the
commander OF cavalry informing him of the peace
full intentions Of these unfortunate Indians. Had
the Wichita agent been at his post all this trouble
would have been avoided
War has now began in earnest, and there is no
say my NueFe II VIII terminate. 1cace cOuld nave
been made very easily, and been faithfully kept if
the Camanches were protected They are very
much sinned against, and | believe the Texas Ran
gers and the Reserve Indians of Major eghbours
cause two-thirds of the troubles this frontier
party of sixty or one hundred start out every few
months and steal Camanche horses by hundreds; of
cou sc the wild Indian retaliate
This unhappy event will cause delay and perhaps
stop the survey of the lines of the Indian Territory
this winter. Certainly cannot 90 out until mat
ters are better unders tood.-Nat. Intel.
A CURE FOR RHEUMATISM.
Some six months ago, young gentleman, board
ing at the Spencer House, caught cold in his breast
producing rheumatism and such general derange-
ment Of the system that he was unable to attend to
business. The rheumatism extended to every pOr-
ton of his body, and he suffered intensely being
often compelled to lie in bed for several days at a
time. Ills physicians-of whom he had the abest
prescribed in vain, and their unfortunate patient
was finally advised to go South, the only chance
of recovery.
What added an additional pang to the young
mans condition was that he was engaged to be mar
ried to beautiful young lady, and the day fixed for
their nuptals had already passed some three weeks.
1t was with great effort he consented to begin his
travels and nothing less than the that it
was the only way to save his life would have in
duced him to undertake the difficult step He would
not care, the afflicted said, on his own account, but
to die Just as he was the point of being united to
.ClarisSa' was more than he could hear with firm
