LATE NEWS.
Result of the Powder River Indi-
an Expeditions.

Fort LARAMIE, Oct Cen. Conner
returned Saturday from the Powder Riv-
er Indian expedition. His column will
be herein six days. The result of the
campaign is four pitched battles with the
Cheyennes, Sioux and Arrapahoes, with.a
side of Capt. Cole, of the 9th
Michigan, and twenty-four men killed and
two wounded. The Indian loss is four to
five hundred killed and large number
wounded, the entire destruction of the
Village of the Arrapahoes and the capture
of 500 head of horses and mules. The
Arrapahoes acknowledge the loss Of 6S
braves in one battle, and are now coming
in to make peace. 1t is thought, howev-
er, that the Sioux and Cheyennes are. not
half whipped and that not less than 1900
men should be stationed at Fort Conner,
and the campaign be continued in the
winter.u The citizens are now fearful that
the Sioux and Cheyennes will come back
on the road and interfere with the mail
and telegraph. The expedition has been
made under more embarrassing circum-
stances for the reason that not pound
of stores intended for the expedition ar
rived in time for use. The troops are
mutinous, claiming discharge because the
rebellion has ceased, and regiments were
ordered to be mustered out almost as rap
idly as they arrived On the plains. fa!

Mrs. Jefferson Dayis--Interesting

The, Augusta Constitutionalist says:
A clerical friend of ours, in passing
through one of our streets, few days
since, to perform ministerial duty---at-
tending to the sick ana wounded in the
hospitals, encountered stranger who ac--
costed him thus: i.s -,
"My friend, can you tell me if Mrs.
JEFF. Davis is in the city of Augusta"
s"No, sir replied my friend, she. is
not" go. -.
swell, SIR replied the stranger, syou
may be surprised at my asking such a
question, and more particularly so, when
I inferm you that |, am discharged Uni
ted States soldier. 5, But, (and here he
evinced great feeling, sir, ahat lady has
performed acts OF, kindness to me which
I can never forget. When serving in the
valley of Virginia,. battling for the I'm
ion, / received q severe and dangerous
wound. AT the, same time 4 was taken
prisoner, and conveyed. to Richmond,

tion from Mrs. Davis that ] can never
forget her; and RoY that 1 am discharged
from the army, and at work in this city.

Politics i'm mississippi.

New York, Oct. q2g--The Herald's
Jackson. Mississippi, correspondent says
the political canvas in that State appears
to have proceeded on queer issues. The
salient features of the Republican and
Democratic platforms elsewhere seem to
be wanting in Mississippi. The negro
comesto the, surface there as elsewhere,
but the people are more anxious to make
him work than to give him the right of
voting. The planters fear an emigration
of their colored laborers to the large
towns, where more lucretive employment
can be had, and on failing in this employ
ment, they anticipate that the negro will
becomeda vagrant and rely on the State
for support. Accordingly they urge that
an act Of Congress should be. passed. to
permit the cotton growing States to make
such laws as will compel the negroes to
work for stipulated wages and for stated
lengths of time. Our ackson lcorrespon-
DEM states that.the candidates who adyo-
cate this course will undoubtedly be cleo
ted, and that no man who argued against
it would havel the slightest chance in. the
State. There is absolutely no discussion
on the suffrage question. The feeling il
so strong against it that no one ventures
to argue per contra. The editor of tht
Mis- sissippian, who suggested that tht
Legislature was bound to admit negro ey
idence in the law courts, met with such ;
storm of opposition that he was COMPEL
ed at once to tack and eat his own words

The Disunioal Party

& - f.
The present Abolition party has always
been Disunion party and they meant to
divide the Union if they could not succeed
in provoking the South to secede. NrrSew-
ard in b59 made his celebrated speech that
the States must be all free or al. slave
Ben Wade made speech in the Senate,
and asked, the South why they did not go
as he claimed they had a right to do
When the South began to secede Mr..
Chase was in favor of letting them go.
Mr.. Chase had always been a State
Rights man in the secession sense In
his speech in the case of the slave Matil-
da, (1S39) be said that the Union was a
mere compact. i n 1855 the Convention
which nominated him declared that Fthe
people should guard with Jealous care
the rights of the several States as inde-
pendent governments" and 'sthat no en-
croachments on the judicial or legislative
.prerogatiyesof either should be permitted
from any quarter and Mr., Chase gave
these resolutions his special endorsement
ina speech. And while he was Governor,
he had body of troops under arms with
cartridges at Columbus to resist the Uni
ted States GeVernment-and his small fry
in the counties everywhere from Urbana
to Lumberton, were ready to cry hurrah.
They have always meant Disunion to get
rid of the South, and they only agree to
have it in the Union now because they
believe that they can hold the States in

General Grant on the Mexican
Question.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. At is estab-
lished beyond doubt that in cenversa-
tion with distinguished Illinoisan few
days since Lieut.. Gen. Grant so far varied
from his customary reticence on public
topics as to unreservediy5 express himself
on the Mexican question. He declares
that the government will vindicate the
Monroess doctrine at an early day and that
Macmillan must leave Mexico. It will
be, he says, less expense to rid Mexico of
the presence of'an enemy than to guard
our Eborders. 1t is his opinion that
it will require no call for troops, but that
with our present army we can spare
enough to give effectiveness to the forces
Mexico will be able to put into the field
if our government aids them in the mat
ter of supplies. Gen. Grant is of the
opinion that the President and the au-
ithorities at Washington hold this as a set
tied purpose and only await the meeting
of Congress to take the open ground on
the matter 1t is not believed that France
will be able to disregard European com
plications, present and prospective, so as
to make the cause of Macmillan her own

A London paper describes an immense
steam hammer now being made by MessfS
Nasmyth & Co., of Paticroft. 1t is Of
gigantic proportions,and will strikea blow
equal to seventy five tons. This OF course
will require an immense anvil block, and
the process of casting one for it weighing
two hundred tons was work of unusual
interest. The process of manufacturea
was as follows. I'll. ift}3sH
aThe iron was melted in two large pai-
ent upper tuyere cupalo furnaces, twenty
four feet IN height and seven feet in d.
ameter. The molten metal was run into
a mould in a1constant tstream,supplied al4
ternately from each, furnace. The pro-
cess occupied Cen hours. !, The metal was
kept in state of fusion by means of
burning charcoal until the whole qhantity
was poured in. The anvil block measures
twelve feet square at the base, and twelve
feet six inches in depth. The figure is.
pyramidical, and It is cast base upward.
Thesnietal contains a certain proportion
of Bessemer steel The huge casting is
not likely to be perfectly cold at three
months hence, and it will certainly not
be reduced to sufficiently low tempera-
ture to be dealt with under two mouths.
When cold enough it will be turned over.
The bed for the reception of the block
will be enclosed in large circular
wrought iron cyiin der measuring twenty
feet in depth and eighteen feet in diane

posted in its bed, the anvil will, appear
