MINISTER CAMPBELL.

As there are many contradictory tele-
graphic reports relative to the movements Of
Hon. LEWIS d. CAMPBELL. our Minister to
the Republic of Mexico-one day that he is
moving towards the city Of Mexico, the
next that he is travelling exactly in an oppo-
site direction-we will state for information
that we learn from unquestionable authority
that Minister CAMPBELL is in New Orleans
and has instructions to remain there until
further orders, that being the most conve.
nient place for the Government to commu
nicate with him, and not inconvenient fol
Mr.. CAMPBELL to communicate with the
Liberal Government of Mexico. There is
no necessity for special activity on the part
of our Minister until the promised French
programme in Mexico is carried out or vio-
lated. The result in either event will soon
be known

The Massacre at Fort Phil. Kearney
by Indians.

Dispatches received at military headquar.
ters in this city confirm the reported mnssa-
ere Of three officers Of the United States
army and nincty-one men, near Fort Phil.
Kearney, mot Fort Laramie, as has been
stately Col. H. B. DARLINGTON, who com.
mands at Fort Phil. Kearncy, telegraphs to
Gen. GRANT that his men were attacked near
the fort by about three thousand Indians,
who succeeded in killing Brew. Lieut.. Col.
FE1rERxAS, Capt H. q. BRowS, and Lieut..
GRuxxoND, with ninety-one privates. After
the massacre Col. CARRINaroN succeeded in
recovering and bringing to the fort all the
bodies. He found they had been horribly
abused and mutilated by the savages, who
it is believed, were armed with rifles and
knives. Col. G. does not state what com
panies the troops belonged to, but only that
they were cavalry (dismountedD and in
fantry-supposed at headquarters here tc

THF NORTH CAROLINA BILL.

The Raleigh IN. C.) Standard says JOHN
Poor, JAMES F. TAYLOR and W. W. HOLDEN,
(editor of the Stdndard,) drafted and "are
solely responsible for the measure which pro-
poses gradually but finally to supercede the
present State organization set up under mar
tial law"
Yes, but although THAD. STEVENS offered
the bill, referred to above, he has subsequently,
called up his Enabling Act" offered at the
last session, and which, if it passes, will bury
the North Carolina measure so deep that
plummet will never find it.
Again, suppose, as the Standard scys,
that the present State organization OF
North Carolina was "set up under martial
law?" Is not that the lawful means of exit
from state Of war to condition of peace
and civil government? BY the laws of war
is not martial rule as constitutional in Ger.
tain conditions of national existence as civil
rule? Is it not the constitutionally-pro
way for State to emerge from state Of war
to the paths of peace? Did not W. W
HOLDEN himself, as Provisional Governor
help to "set up under martial law" the pres
ent State organization of North Carolina
OF course he did Then what is the matter
Is the Ex-Governor satisfied that his owr
handiwork is failure or does he want to try
an experiment with the radicals? Time will
tell all these things.

RECEPTION, OF THE PRESIDENT
AT THE MASONIC FAIR Last
NIGHT. III

The principal sensation at the Masonic
Fair last night was the attendance Of Tbs
president Of the United States, who was re.
ceived by the Brotherhood with all the hon
ors betting his exalted position as Chief Ex-
ecutive Of the nation. At halfpast eight
brothers SEARS and LARSER were deputed to
wait upon The PRESIDENT and escort him to
the Fair building. A few minutes after he
arrived in his carriage, when he was received
by the knights Templar in full regalia. On
the entrance Of The President the band
played Hail to the Chief" while he pro-
ceeded to inspect the various attractions Of
the Fair. To gratify o universally expressed
desire he afterwards good.nsturedly submit
ted to prolonged siege Of handshaking, the
attention Of the ladies present being particu-
larly marked. The PRESIDENT was attended
by Col. ROBERT JOHNSON, his private Secre-
tary, and after remaining about half ON hour
he departed, apparently highly pleased with
the Fair and his cordial reception.
We once more call attention to the fact
that the Fair closes tonight, when positive
sale Of the various articles not previously dis
posed Of will take place. On Monday night
q grand hop will be given, which will be at
