New York, Sept 28.-The Worlds spe-

sition at Chattanooga is such that an at
tack on our line is exceedingly improba-

The sanitary condition of the army Col

is good reason to believe that Lee is no;

if he should attempt flank movement, his
labor will be in vain. A large portion Of

From Government figures in the Provost

localities at Beaver Head and Boise We

saving miners have, as a general thing,
succeeded handsomely during the past sum

fair occurred this morning, the particulars
of which, have been informed, are these ::
One of our most peaceabe, quiet and gen
tlemanly cilizens-James PinneY, respec-
table merchant of the firm of Pinney &
Stearns-gave birthday party last night,
inviting some of his friends and acquaintan-
ces to strictly select and private little
dance Tom Fitzhugh, bar tender in
Whites gambling saloon, attempted to en-
ter the ball room and was requested by Mr..
Pinney to leave. Fitzhugh was very indig-
nant, and nursing his wrath to keep it hot,
he, about 9 O'Clock this morning assaulted
Mr.. Puney in his own store with cow
hide in one hand and loaded revolver in
the other He exhausted the BIlingsgaUe
vocabulary in expressing his opinion of Mr.
P, giving him two or three cuts across the
face by way of emphasis, and telling him if
he made the slightest motion he would
blow the top of his head off; just as he
turned to leave, Pinney drew his revolver
and fired at Fitzhugh, but did not bit him.
Fitzhugh then fred two shots at Pinney,
both taking efectl The formers revolver
did not work easily, and when the latter
saw this, he rushed to within a few feet of
his victim and fired his second shot as Pin
ney turned to run. Pinney is very dan
gerousy wounded and suffering intense
pain. The attendant physicians say it is
barely possible chat he will recover. He
has many warm friends in this locality, and
should he die from his wounds to-day, MIR.
Fitzhugh will probably be tried before
Judge Lynch.
We have been favored with some heavy
showers the past week Sufficient rain has
fallen to raise the water in the creeks sew

at work Laborers get readily Sc per day.
Many claims are now being worked night
and day.
Business is duller than ever. Some of
the largest stocks are being forced off at
less than cost and freight. The holders not
liking the idea of holding on till next
Spring before obtaining remunerative pri-

Vague rumors are ahOat of big strikes on
the head of Snake river but nothing au-

have been found within a few miles of
town. Yours, &c, TRAIL.

CATTLE STEAL1NG-Considerabe ex-
element prevails ct various points through
out the county in regard to system of
catIe-stealing that has teen inaugurated
by certain individuals having the fear of
neither the law, gospel nor Squire Massey's
court before their eyes. The mOduS oper
andi of the 'steaingers' is to find fat cat
tie running at large on the prairies, take
them up as estrays, keep them a few days
and butcher them Or sell them to the butch
erS. In cases of detection, they establish
"honesty of purpose" by offering to pay
the owners the worth of their cattle on
their proving property"
