Grsat Foot Il ace in KnsIand.

Deerfoot, the celebrated Indian pedestrian,
having challenged three of the best runners
in England, named Mills, Brighton, and
White, TO contend with him, the match came
off on the 23d of September. The distance
was ten miles. Deerfoot appeared on the
ground in a wolfskin, with feather in his
head band, and tinkling bells around his
waist. The Indian went to the front for a
distance of a mile and a half amid loud
cheers. White then tried to recover the
lead, which he gained, but failed TO retain,
and at three miles had TO succumb. The re-
mainder of the race between Mills and the
Indian was very exciting. There was not a
yard between the two at the seventh mile,
when the Indian forced the pace, and on
commencing the eighth wentright away. The
Indian finished at his leisure, and ran the ten
miles in fftY-four minutes and quarter. A
match between Deerfoot and Jackson, the
celebrated American pedestrian, has been
arranged and will come off in little while.

REBEL INGRATITUDE.-I hope the following
case of ingTatitude has few parallels A
soldier called wet, weary, aud hungry, at the
house of Henry Kernoll, farmer in Fairfax
County, Virginia, and asked to be sheltered
from the storm. 1t was few days after the
Bull Run affair. The farmer took him in.
The soldier said he belonged to the Union
army, and showed the Union army uniform
to corroborate his statement. The farmer
fed and warmed him, and offered him his
parlor, where he could more securely con-
ceal him, in case his house might be visited
by the rebels. After receiving the farmer S
hospitalities the soldier said he would go to
the barn, where he could better conceal him.
self from the rebels. From there he disap-
peared, and not long after the farmer was ar
rested and carried to Manassas Gap, where
the soldier, who proved to be spy, appeared
before him, and, at a mock trial, swore to a
tissue of falsehoOds. He was the cause of the
old mans arrest and ruin. After being
detained several weeks, the farmer was
sent to Richmond and incareerated in the
common Jail, filthy hole. He was released
a few days ago, and reached Washington

A Fine Field for COnfiscatIOn-superIo
City Owned by Rebels.

The Detroit Advertiser says:
1t is known to many of our readers, though
it may not be to the public generally, that
the site on which Lake Superior City is sit
uated is owned principally by Southern men.
All the proprietors, but one or two most
indeed, are from Southern States. These
men are r. NJ, 7, Hunter, of Virginia, a
member Of the rebel Cabinet, j. o. Breckin.
ridge and L. W. Powell the rebel Senator'S
and Beriah Magoffin, the traitor Governor
of Kentucky, VIM. Aiken, and W. W. Boyce,
of South Carolina, Sam, Magofin, of Mis-.
souri,, W. W. Corcoran and Geo. w. Riggs, of
Washington. The Northern men are the no.
torious Jesse D. Bright, of Indiana, an
avowed Secessionist, and a Mr., Beck, resi-
dence not known. Hunter, Breckenridge,
Powell, Boyce and Sam. Magoffin are now
in arms against the Government, and Bright,
Governor Magotfin, and we believe Oorcoran,
if not Aiken, are in open sympathy with the
rebels. In view of these facts, it would seem
to be the duty of the Government to investi-
gate this matter with a view to the conisca-
ton ofthat part of the city which belongs to
rebels in arms, at least. These men are using
their whole power and wealth to subvert the
Government, and this property is used indi-
Iectly, if not directly, in support of the re-
bellion. Why, then, should it not be confs-
cated Besides being just punishment for
the crimes of the traitor owners, its confisca-
tion would be a decided benefit to the city.
The proprietors, by refusing to put the land
into market, believing that the city must, at
some time, become place of great import.

out of it. Having induced some of the wild
Indians of Minnesota to pre- empt the land,
they brought out their rights for a song. If
the site could be thrown into the market, it

Governor Curtin at Pittsburg.

PITTsBURG, October l7.-Governor Curtin
and suite arrived here on the midnight train
and was escorted to the Monongshela House,
by General Negley and staff and Captain
McAnaulty's Company of Negley's brigade.
The object Of the Governors visit was the
presentation of State regimental flags, which
took place this afternoon in presence of an
immense concourse Of people, and was quite
imposing.
The brigade numbers three thousand we'll.
disciplined and well equipped troops. They
marched from Camp Wilkins through the
principal streets to Allegheny Common,
where the ceremonies took place.
Governor Curtin, in presenting the flags,
made an appropriate and patriotic speech,
which was neatly replied to by General
Negley, after which grand review took
place.
The brigade will leave to night on five
steamers for the West.

Seeing Through,

The New York Times appears to be of the
opinion that we have now arrived so near
the end of the war, that we can begin to see
through. "The truth is"-it says--''the mill
itary history of the rebellion is drawing to
its close. The impossibility of recovering
Missouri, of gaining Kentucky, of .yetaining
Virginia, are terrible eye,openers to a people
who, the other day, saw none but friends in
those States, ready to fight for them, feed
them, and protect their lines of communica-
ton as their victorious columns pressed for.
ward to the Canada frontier. The soil that
was to be the basis of measureless conquests
in the North, having helped them to no con-
quests, is itself slipping from beneath their
feet. With the blockade and threatening expe-
ditions hanging upon their shores, and the
immediate probability Of hostile advance
along the entire line of the National army-a
line which stretches from Cape Hatteras to
Kansas-the prospects of the rebellion are
obviously, to the last degree, discouraging,
and the contest substantially decided"
1t may be that the Times is correct; but if
it could only lend its spectacles to the public
and teach the rest of mankind to see as it
does, it would perform the part of general
benefactor.
OF course, in determining the proximity Of
the end of the war, much depends upon the
question in what the end is to consist. If ii
is to consist in repelling and keeping back
the Confederate armies from conquering the
North, perhaps it may be set down as having
arrived. If it is to render Washington safe
from capture, the thing, we are daily assured,
is accomplished. But if it is to consist in
reinstating the authority of the Constitution
and laws of the United States over the Sc.
ceded communities, and keeping them in
force there, or of convincing the people Of
the South that their enmity to the Union is
unjust, their prejudices against the people Of
the North unfounded, and that we entertain
for them nothing but feelings of the most
exalted and disinterested friendship, it is to
be feared that it is not quite so near as the
Times supposes.

Interesting from Beauresurd's Quarters

lnLeEesLhn9 IEom beHuEekaf0'b QuurLcfB.
DARNEsTowN, Nd, October l5.-On the
night of the 10th of September detachment
of twelve men crossed the Potomac for the
purpose of reconnoitering and foraging.
When reaching about half mile from the
river they were attacked by fifteen rebels,
two Of whom were instantly killed.
Among the wounded was my informant,
Corporal Gracy. As Gracy lay wounded
upon the ground, rebel named Mccarthy
Lowe, farmer residing in the vicinity,
rushed up and shot him twice, both barrels
taking effect, and was stopped from firing,
third time by his companion. One Of the
balls penetrated Gracys back in slanting
direction and came out ON his left side; the
other entering the back, lodged in his left
lung, where it still remains. His two weeks
stay at Fairfax was not of an unpleasant
character, considering all the circumstances.
In this hospital the inmates were mostly
members of the First Virginia Regiment.
Every day or two those seriously i'll were
sent to Richmond, as it was feared General
Mcclellan would attack the rebel lines The
night after he became able to move about he
drugged the beverage of his attendant.
He then started toward the Potomac at
the point of his capture, but in consequence
oflarge rebel forces, he was compelled to di,
verge in westerly direction, crossing Bull
Run, thence taking circuitous route to
avoid 00Servatl0n.
While in the hospital at Fairfax he occa-
sionally overheard conversations between
officers and the surgeons of the hospital. He
saw Beauregard and Longstreet in CONVEX
sation on several occasions, and inferred that
LoDgstTeet held some important commission. l..
On the 9th instant JEFF Davis was at Fairfax,
aud spent several hours with Beauregard.
General Johnston was understood to be
somewhere in the immediate neighborhood.
On one occasion General Longstreet said to
q surgeon that the rebel forces in front OF
Washington were 80 scattered, that if at
tackled at any point on the line, there must
necessarily be an abrupt retreat by all upon
their Gibraltar.
They think it impossible to be driven from
this point.
1t was generally believed that BeauregarG
would burn the village of Fairfax Court.
house if compelled to evacuate it.
1t was impossible to ascertain the exac
number of rebel troops in and around Fair
fax. They were variously estimated at from
fifty to one hundred thousand. AS far a
Gracy's observation went, they were bette
fed than clothed, but he heard of no com
plants in regard to the latter, although thei
uniforms pre- esented a curious mixture, graz

W. E. Burton, which we have never seen in

the article, such as travellers are usually put

Good Things from the Louisville Journal.
A Nashville paper says that Buckner's
men will make capital troops when they are
little seasoned. If peppering will do for
seasoning, we guess our boys will give them
enough Of it.
Buckner's Secession flag is flying at Bowl
ing Green. Upon McCook's approach, it will
probably fly faster than ever. ...
We congratulate General A. Sidney John
ston, the rebel commander at Columbus,
Kentucky, upon his having been presented
with the famous racer "Umpire" for a
charger. He may have occasion to tax "U m
pires" running powers to the utmost.

ern CoDfederacy is sin a pretty pickle"
Probably it would be, but there is not salt
enough down that way to make pickle.
There isn't room enough for the United
States troops and the Confederate troops
within the limits of Kentucky. One or the
other will have 10 quit soon.
We trust that Missouri will be purged Of
