charges, or of any other nature, against
the steamers Charley Bowen and Supe-
rior are hereby notified that unless the
same are presented Immediately they are
liable to remain on hand long time.

been withdrawn from the Evansville and
Cairo trade, and if said claims are pre-
scented while the officers of those boats
are here to certify TO their correctness,
there will be no difficulty in making the
settlements. Whereas, if those officers
are absent the holders of the bills viii be
compelled to prove their correctness, be-
fore they viii be paid.

THE NATIONAL HOTEL AFFRAY.
Assault on Senator Chandler.

Washington Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.
WASHINGTON, May 25.-The following is be-
lieved to be strictly accurate account of the
disgraceful assault last night on Senator Chan
dler, in the public dining hall of the National
Hotel: Mr. Chandler with DIR. Clark, of De-
troit, and lady with her two children, were
taking dinner, at q side table. In the course
of a conversation on political matters, he de-
nounced in strong terms Copperheads gene
rally, and particularly those of the Western
States Mr.. VOORHEES,. of Indiana, was sitting
at another table behind him, with Mr.. Hanni-
gan, also of Indiana. Mr.. VOORHEES, arose
from his seat and approached Senator Chan
dier In an excited manner, demanding
whether he referred to him, to which he re-
piled: WHO are you, sir? don't know yOu:"
at the same time rising from his chair.
Voorhees, replied: II am VOORHEES, of In
DIANA" and Euiting the action to the word,
struck Chandler on the side of his fare The
two then closed, and Chandler was rapidly get
ting the better of Voorhees,, when Hannigan
came to the latter's assistance with heavy
milk pitcher snatched from the table, which
he broke on Chambers head. The contents of
the pitcher splashed over the whole company.
Chandler was stunned by the blow, and had
not fully recovered himself, when Hannigan
dealt him a second blow with a chair. At this
iuncture the spectators interfered, and the be-
Iigerents were separated. Mr.. Chambers head
der and arm were considerably bruised BY the
chair. Though not able to close his hand, he
has been out to-day, attending to his usual du-
ties Voorhees, is quite as large q man as
Chandler, probably little heavier. Persons
seated at the table are positive that Chandler
made no use of Voorhees, name and no refer.
ence whatever to him personally
