WAsHINGTON, Aug. lit is unaccount-

gram, that President Lincoln died at g
o'clock this morning. He is well aud
attended the Cabinet meeting to-day as
usual.
Commissioner Dole has gone to Kansas
to make preliminary arrangements for the

animation. If their professional and phys
icaI qualifications are satisfactory, aud

European Affairs.

New York, Aug. i "A Paris letter says
the alarm about u war with Russia contin-
ues and the most improbable reports are
started hourly ia regard to it.
The situation to- day is that France will
not go alone into a war with Russia tor
fear of a European coalition, but if on the
other hand France can carry Austria, Eng
land and Sweden into the war with her,
then Russia which has believed this coali
ton impossible, will back out and cOncede
the six points. Thus, 10 either case, war
seems for the moment impossible. Frasce
and Sweden are eager for the war, but
Austria and England hold back.
In the meantime trade is suffering by
the fright as much as if the war WAS ac-
tualIy commenced.

From the Indian Territory.

New York, August lI.-The Herald has
the following:
Fort Blunt, Indian Territory, August 2.
A battle is imminent at this pOiut. Since
our victory at Henry Springs, Cherokee
nation, on the 18th ult., the rebels have
been reinforced by returning to the old
battle field. CoOpers force OF 4, 900. aug
mented by CabelPs Arkansas Brigade of
$500 strong, and Bailey's Texas Brigade,
about 500 In all about 1880 and 10
pieces of artillery.
The Uuion force here is about $500 eftl :
cient men, the 18th Kansas Infantry and
Battalion 9th Kansas Cavalry, in all 500
men, are making forced marches for Fort
Scott and are expected here on Thursday.
=. About Sunday next Gen. Blunt will cross
and attack. The General says he will
make it fight or a foot race. In attack
lies our only safety. We cannot stay with
out being surrounded, and we cannot re-
treat without disaster. We believe in
Blunt and victory.

Ra9"IMPoRTANT ARREsT.-Sargeant C..
NJ. Herald. of this city, who is employed
by the Government to hunt up deserters
and other scamps, made an important ar
rest at Bridgeport, over the river, yester-
day morning. The person arrested was
Que Z. W. Thompson with hundred
dEises), whose history is somewhat as fol-
lows. He was first heard of as n member
oil u Pennsylvania Cavalry regiment from
which he deserted and joined another reg
iment III order to get the bounty money
lie was arrested and while being convey
ed to Harrisburgh he jumped out OF a Car
window while the train was running thir-
ty miles an hour. Two days afterwards
he was ARRESTED and committed to Fort
McHeury. He escaped from the Fort few
days after being committed and was again
arrested and committed to a military pris-
on in Allegheny City. A week or so ago
he succeeded in escaping from his last
place of confinement by Ieaping from a
fourth story window and has been at
large ever since. He appears to be a most
uncOnscionable rascal and desperate. Not
long ago he swiudled n man in Pittsburgh
out of five hundred dollars worth of Jew
eI:y, and another party out of valuable
lot of furniture by representing himself as
the son of wealthy gentleman of that
place. Latterly, since the commencement
OF the draft, he has been hiring himself as
a substitute pocketing the money and de-
sorting.
Yesterday morning Sergeant Herald en-
countered the rascal at the Depot and re-
coguized him at once. Thompson drew n
knife and threatened to kill the Sergeant
but was induced to abandon that idea by
suddenly coming in contact with well
charged revolver. When he found he
could do nothing by his hostile demonstra-
tious he offered the Sergeant twenty dol
lars to release him. This expedient also
failed and Thompson is now lying in the
Atbaneum with ball and cham attached
to his leg. At the time of his arrest he
was ornamented with pair of LIST Lieu
tenants shoulder straps.

markably short space of time and succeed

Major Humphrey only succeeded in getting
his pautnloons and one shoe on before the
flames burst into his stateroom, and he
could save nothing. He even lost his
pocket-book aud all his clothes. The lady
who first gave the alarm ran back into the
ladies' cabin in hope of saving her child

-NEw YORK, Aug. 1.-THE Herald has the
following:
| Washington, Aug. lO.-Advices from the
I front indicate that no operations of inn
portance are expected to transpire at pres
emit.
The enemy's pickets extend along the
south bank OF the Rappahannock, although
our cavalry frequently scour the country
as far as the lower ford of the RaPidan.
Stafford Court House aud Aqua creek
are within our lines aud are again exempt
from visits of rebels, except when a band
of guerrillas make a descent upon some
luckless neighborhood.
Friday there were indications that the
enemy contemplated making a demOnstra-
ton near Snlpher Springs and Ged. Kill
patric's division of cavalry was moved up
to that point, but no collision occurred.
Very little-nOW disturbs the mOnOtOnOus
routine of picket duty, and everything
throughout the entire army is stagnant.-
Brigadier Gen raj COstar commanding the
Brigade under Gen. Pleasanton with
small force of cavalry on Saturday came
up with MOsbey's gurillas commanded by
the notorious partisan chief in person.
They fled before our cavalry leaving twelve
prisoners in our hands who were hurried
over to General Pleasanton. Mosbey es-
capped under cover of dense wood when
our forces we're close upon his heels
Gen Costor feels confident ere long the
whole of Mosbeys gang, including their
chief will fall into our hands.
A portion of Longstreet's corps has oc-
cupied fredericksburg, but the indications
are no attempt will be made by the enemy
to hold that point.
