QUINCY, Ill, Aug. 29.-Lieut. Pinkley Of
the Illinois sixty ninth has arrived, and says
that a body OF rebels, estimated at $500 to
3000 under the notorious Martin Green, took
possession of Palmyra yesterday morning.
There were no United States troops there to
defend it, and no resistance was made. Five
hundred rebels are in town and the balance are
encamped outside A train of cars containing
a considerable amount of arms for the troops
OF St. Joseph, was fired into near Palmyra and
forced to return. No damage was done.
RoLLA, Aug. 29.-An attempt was made to
blow up a train eight miles east OF here, but
the explosion only covered the locomotive
with dirt, and slightly wounded the engineer.
A keg of powder was placed between the rails
and exploded by the approaching train in some
unknown manner, when the engine passed
over it. The explosion occurred on an en-
ban1ment $50 feet high, and if the explosion
had been upward instead of lateral, the train
would surely have been thrown down the EN-
bankmeGt
accommodating party of cavalry, last
night, found several rails torn up in deep cut

WAsHNGToN Aug. 30.-The decision en-

GENERAL LAND OFFICE, Aug. 81
To Registers and Receivers Of Land Offices =
GentiemenIn a recent decision of the secre
tary of the interior, it is held,
First, that in order to give proper force and
effect to assignments Of land warrants, all
such assignments at the time of the execution
thereof, to be valid, should be filled with the
names of the assignees. The effect of this
decision, which is prescribed as a regulation
TO govern in the execution of all assignments
hereafter, will be to prevent frauds consequent
upon the loss Of warrants assigned in blank,
or incident to placing them in that condition
in the hands Of untrustworthy agents.
Second, under this ruling no assignments in
blank will hereafter be certified by this office
or recognized as valid, either at this or at the
local land Offices
Third, this decision however, will not effect
past transactions under the old practice, where
such assignments had been made in blank
and are duly; filled in the name of the real
owner as assignee before they reach this or the
local office, provided that they are all found
regularly attested, acknowledged, and certi-
fed, and are unimpeached on the files of the
department. All uncontested complete assign
ments of this class. found regular in all res
poets, will consequently be respected as here.

LOUISVILLE, Aug. 30.-Ex. President Pierce
has arrived from the northwest.
The Frankfort Commonwealth says the
commissioners from Magoffin, returned from
Washington, have delivered sealed packages
to the governor, and it is understood that the
president is willing to await the action of the
kentucky legislature, just chosen from the
people, and is disposed to accord with their
wishes.
Ex.mnister Preston, on addressing picnic
at Lexington, to day, favored neutrality and
peace for Kentucky, but did not believe she
could preserve either, and, if not, the sooner
she went with the south the better.
1t is reported that Hobbetzer former ex-
press agent, who was arrested at Elizabeth
town yesterday, has escaped from custody.
Gen. A. S. Johnston was at Messilla Aug.
