THE DUEL ON THE Dixie.

From the New York Citizen.
It was fair day on the river Ohio.
The grand saloons of the steamer Kishico-
auilas were crowded with passengers. The
ladies in the after portion lounged upon
luxurious divans, slipping cooling beverages
or sleeping over recent literature, and in
and out among them played dark-eyed
child, who now and then cried petulantly
for his papa. The latter sat in the dim,
close forward cabin, at one of the many
card-tables. He was pale and agitated,
for he was losing heavily. Little by little
Fortune had beckoned him on, and now
that she was receding he gambled reck-
lessly; but the cool, clever gentleman,
with curling hair, sitting opposite. swept off
the EAGLES without smile. The loser was
wild at each misfortune he doubled his
stakes, the winner always closing with him,
though carelessly; and it was not hard to
read in the formers darkening face that he
counted his losses seriously. twas q game
of poker. and there were many partici-
pants: but these two divided all attention.
live cards were dealt to each, and the
PLAYERS wagered upon the relative values OF
the suits of sequences. If the troubled
man held four tens, the other was certain
70 hold four knaves: twice he held all the
kinos: the other called four aces.

SAINT PAUL. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER !

A boat, coming down the river, put in
for the solitary tourist, and the rival YES
sells began to measure speed. Their crews
buoyed them on with wager and huzzah.
They summoned every inch of steam to
whirl their cleaning wheels, and the tim
Der in either craft trembled like shipwreck.
There was booming crash-a gush Of va
por and fire, and shrieks piercing the sky
and the river-the hindmost steamer burst
into fragments; the avenged and avenger
were equal.

AFFAIRS IN MISSISSIPPI.
Important Dispatch from Presf-
dent johnson. -r,


JACKSON, Miss, Sept. 5.
Governor SHARKsY publishes the follow
ing dispatch from President JOHNSON:
It is believed there can be organized in each
county force of citizens of militia, to sup
press disturbance, preserve order, and enforce
the civil authority Of the State and Of the Unit
ed States, which would enable the federal gov
eminent to reduce the army, and to withdraw,
to great extent, the federal forces from the
State, thereby reducing the enormous expenses
Of the government.
If there was any danger from an organiza-
ton of the citizens for the purpose indi cated,
the military are there to detect and suppress,
on the first appearance of any movement in
surrectionary in it's character. One great OBJ.
Ject is to induce the people to come forward m
the defence of the State and Federal Govern
ment. Gen. Washington declared that the
people, or the militia, was the right arm OF the
Constitution. As soon as it is practicable, the
original design of the Government viii he re-
sumed under the principle of the great chart
of freedom handed down to the people BY the
founder of the Republic. The people must be
trusted ,ostb their government, and II trusted, my
opinion Is they win act in good faith, and re-
store their former constitutional relations with
all the States composing the Union.
The main object of Maj. Gen. Carl Schuf1s
mission to the South was to aid, as far - prac-
dcable, In carrying out the policy adopted BY
the government for restoring the States to
their former relations with the Federal gov
ernment It is hoped that such aid has been
given. =
The proclamation authorizing the restoration
Of the State government requires the military
power to aid the Provisional Governor in the
performance Of his duties a. prescribed in the
proclamation, and In no manner to interfere or
throw impediments in the way Of the consun-
nation Of the object Of his appointment, at
least witout advising the government of the
intended interference.

field, agent of the Overland Dispatch Company
possesses not only geographical interest BY
making Us better acquainted with the interior
Of this continent, but is great value in mer.
camille point Of view. The discovery makes
known route across the plains which reduces
the distance to Denver one hundred or one
hundred and fifty miles, and which has the adj
vantage of avoiding the terrible Alkali Springs
Of the Platte route, via Fort Kearnev, which is
so fatal to cattle. oecasioning the death in some
instances of thousands of animals The new
channel has the further advantage of ENJOYING
fortDight's earlier yerdure than that of the
Platte river.
This newly-discovered route to the Rocky
Mountains lies up the vallew of the Kaw or
Kansas in the fork of the Smoky Hill River.
and thence up that valley to the centre of the
continent at Denver. 1t presents a direct route
from New York through st. Louis, to the great
mineral regions Of the West. An officer ofthe
United States army was detailed to accompany
Mr.. Butterfelds expedition, to make topo-
graphical observations. whose report will soon
be published by the general government
Meanwhile, arrangements are making for the
transportation of passengers and freight across
the plains by the route, which in six weeks
Will be completed, the company having aban-
doned the old channel Of Communication be-
tween the East and the West. Lawrence, the
present terminus Of the Union Pacific Rail-
road, win be the new point of departure.
1t Is believed that this win give an increased
impetus to the vast traffic which is now car
ried on between few points ON the Missouri
river and the territories Of Colorado, Idaho,
Montana, Utah. New Mexico and Arizona,
while il win afford increased facilities TO the
stream of emigration which is flowing into and
across the PLAINS Correct statistical informa-
ton regarding overland traffic ID not easily at
tainable, but data for q calculation il furnished
by the business of the Overland Despach Com
pany, which Transports about one-tenth of the
freight sent across the plains.
This company by the close OF the season will
have sent %, 900 tons, employing nearly I. 600
wagons and {, 1000 oxen. A single merchant of
Salt Lake City pays this season also. 900 for
freight. These facts demonstrate the impor-
lance of expediting the work of the Pacific
Railroad Company.
Respectfully yours.

Advance Of the Cholera.

WAsHrNaroN, Sept. 6-The State depart
ment, to-day, is in receipt of the address Of the
United States Consul stationed at Palermo,
dated at August 4. He speaks Of the serious
spread of the cholera at Ancona, Italy, where
some 800 people have died, and isolated cases
have happened in other towns of Italy France
and Spain. The local authorities have author.
lied days of quarantine for arrivals from
French and Spanish ports, including Gibraltar.
/ The United States Consul stationed at Port
Mahon, informs the State Department this
morning, under date of August IA, of the ar
rival at that quarantine of Turkish steamer,
which left Alexandria with ], 800 pilgrims The
steamer he says. comes with 1,208, and re-
ports having left on the way 500, 20 deaths
having occurred from cholera on the passage
On an examination of the steamer, dead bodies
were found on board in a sad state of decompo-
sition. The captains statements are discredit.
ed, for many have died by the same disease.
The Consul states that accounts received at
that station concnr in the opinion that the
cholera is making its way westward, Thus far
the cholera has followed the pilgrims, who, he
states, are packed like Sardines on shipboard.
Their religion does not allo them, while pass
ing to and from Mecca. Ia sleep on bed, to
wash, or eat any warm food. They are COW
cred with filth and vermiu and are spreading
disease all over the Mediterranean.
