HE DIFFICULTY AMONG THE w ESTERN
GENERALS Prom our exchanges we gel
the two following explanations Of the
charges against Gems. Polk and HIND
man. About Gen Polk, it is stated:
On the 18th of September Gen. Polk was
ordered to instruct Zen. Hill to cOmmeiIce
the attack on the morning OF the 18th by
daylight, in order to flank the enemy and cut
him OFT from Chattanooga Gen. Polk ac
cOrdiugly sent the order to Gen. Hill, who
could not be found, after diligent search, un
til next morning. 1t seems that at the time
Gen. Hill, with part of his division, was at
Tcdford's Ford, on the Chickamauga, and
the order was to bc executed. Gen Hill, we
also learn from the same authority, wholly
exOneratcs Gen. Polk from all blame III the
matter.
OF Gen. Hindman's difficulty, the Co
lulnbus (Ga.) zsmes says:
During, or immediately preceding, the late
battle, Gen. Polk sent an order to General
Hindman by the hands of a courier, which
was not executed. In explanation of his
non-action Gen. uindman AYERS that he
never received the order; the courier af-
firms that he did, aud that he is able to prove
1t, and it is to try the issue thus Joined that
the parties have repaired to Atlanta We
hear from another source that after the re-
turn Of the courier, Gen. Hindman refusing,
or neglecting to Garry out the order, Gen.
Polk dispatched a member of his staH on the
same mission, and that on receiving the or
der, Gen. Hindman cursed Gen. Polk aud his
whole staff, and refused to obey it, and that
in consequence of this conduct Gen. Hind
man has been placed under arrest.

is very great, aud further bloodshed is anti
cipatcd
at Deeriicld, to dAy, a Republican named
Thumb was shot dead by a Democrat named
Lucas.
At Eaton, to-day, a very large meeting was
held. One thousand ladies and gentlemen
were on horseback. As q part Of the pro-
cession was passing the depot, an indiscrim-
mate attack was commenced by throwing
stones into the procession. The Democracy
dismOunted from their horses aud out OF
their wagons aud took after the crowd, which
fled. 4 delegation from Camden Was Inter
rupted by the Republicans of the place, by
running u wagon with a saw-log on 1t across
the road. The Democracy undertook to
move the same and a fight cnsued, in which
five or six Republicans were shot, two NOR
tally Threats were 4nade that the same del
egationshculd not return home by that road.
The delegation have armed themselves and
will go that road or lay Camden in ashes.--
Further difficulties in that locality are looked
for.
These troubles are brewing 10 various por-
tons of the State. aud SO badly scared are
the opposition that they will resort to extra
ordinary measures to carry the election
That they will import soldiers and voters

LiyM IEetJhts-James L. West, dealer in
butter at the Second Market, was summoned
before the Mayor last Saturday 10 answer tor
selling cakes OF butter that were one or TIVE
ounces lighter than L pound. Officer Tyler
testified that he !i.,d weighed several or the
cakes, ana found most of them too lisht--
Mr.. Vests defence was that he sold butter
by the cake, and not by the pound but such
defence is worthless, inasmuch as the ,ar
het ordinance declares that meats, I7tttei, etc
shalt be sold by the pound only The Mayor
will give his decision on the matter to day,
aud Will no doubt enforce the ordnance -

The TERmBLE ACCIDENT AT NASH
WILLIE - TIE CoaJcIerate Prisoners
Hilicd or Ljured The Nashville Dis
patcA, of Wednesday, gives the follow
ing particulars Of the accident in the
military prison in that city Oh Tuesday (:
The upper story WAS occupied by large
number Of Confederate prisoners, who had
JUST been called down to breakfast, when
the hungry fellows, ready and eager for their
matin meal, started on their downward
couisc. AT the bottom OF the first flight
stood = guard, who detained them d mo
meat for some Necessary preparation, when
the whole stairway became filed with its
human freight.
As it was only a Temporary structure, no:
intended to bear one tenth the pressure it
was then subjected to, it gave way, and the
men fell TO the next floor, which also gave
way, aud so Oil through two floors, some
two hundred mcn hurting and tulnblin9
down ana down, piled one over the other on
the second story under the stairway. The
sight was one OF the most appalling ever
witnessed, except Oh the battlefield, cnc
man having his head mashed as Hat a. !;
board, others frightfully bruised and mu
tiiated, and all more or less injured
Intelligence OF the accident was conveyed
to the Provost Marshal General, Capt Good
win, who, with his usual promptness and
generosity, repaired to the spot. The CT
ficcrs and men belonging to the barracks are
worthy Of all praise for their prompt, gene
rous, and untiring zeal III alieviating the suf
terings of the Injured. The medical directors
sent surgeons and furnished every assistance
possible under the circumstances Ambu-
lalrces were soon on the spot to convey the
wounded to hospitals, and by ten O'clock ali
lad been attended to-
The provost guard took possession Of the
street in front of the barracks, and kept il
entirely clear for those employed in clearing
the wreck and removing the dead audwound-
cd. We are informed that the mcn were
cautioned not to crowd SO closely on the
stairway; but they needed not the admoni-
ton, and the following is the melancholy re-
suit: Two men killed instantly, four died
within twenty minutes, and nilety-two are
now III hospital, fifteen OF whom viii proba-
bly, die irOm the effects of their wounds.
