now on permanent basis, so that it's

A FATAL ACADEMIA Panama
letter states that a singular accident
occurred in the bay of Valparaiso on
the Sd of May. A German named
Flack, having constructed a torpedo
submarine boat, made several success
full experiments in sinking and rails
ing his boat in four fathous water.
He then got a party of friends on
board; with them proceeded some
distance out into the harbor and
again sunk his boat, with himself
and friends on board, in thirty faith
oms. No anxiety was felt about the
expedition for some time, Flack hav-
ing stated that he could remin under
water easily for the space of five or
six hours. Unfortunately, before
going down Flack was SO confident
of the success ofhis experiment that
he would not allow any buoy or rope
to be attached to the boat, and thus
no search could bemade for them with
any certainty of success. Every of-
fort, however, to find them was made
by divers and others, but no traces
were had until the sth, when a div
er discovered the boat. Flack 8 son,
fourteen years Of age, was one ofthe
party.

ty in New York, stating that efforts

We learn by a private letter from Ste
vensville, that the Commanche Indians,
made rade upon that place and the coun.
ty on the night of the 28th of June, and
took between forty and fifty head of horses
and mules from the citizens of the town
and county; eighteen Of these were taken
from the citizens of the town, two from A.
Mcneil, two mules from DR.. Toliver, two
from John Roberts and twenty-five from
widow lady in the eastern part of the coun-
ty. 1t seems that they came in from the
northern part ofthe county, passed through
the town of Stevensville, down the Bosque
seven miles below town and then turned
eastward and ont north through Parker
county, stealing all the horses they could
find. They attempted to capture several
children but in this they failed. These
depredations seriously retard the prosperi-
ty Of the country by rendering life and pro-
perty insecure. The citizens of the frontier
ought to be protected against these depre-
dations of the Indians, or of the more viii
famous white men in the garb of Indians,

co Register, IN inst.

vor, in order that the Southern

The Herald's report says:
"The comparative value of ser
vices was shown between Bob Tay-
lor's mission to Washington, for
whose benefit twelve hundred dol
lars were dedicated, and those of
the commission sent on to report to
the President the action Of the Con-
vention, and for which eight hun
dred dollars were expended; Tay
lor came back entirely unsuccessful
in his every effort to lessen the bur
dens of the people from taxation
the commission sent by the Con
vention, and of which we may state
Judge Hancock was a distinguished
member, was well received by the
President, who expressed himself
as much gratified at tho action of
the Convention, and among other
things they succeeded in saving the
people of Texas nearly half anil
lion Of dollars which would have
been COLLECTED from them ere this
by way Of penalty, &c, connected
with the Direct Tax"
Judge Hancock accused the Bex-
ar delegation in the Convention
with having formed the Radical
party in Texas, and denounced it
as being the advocate 'of disunion,
war, ruin and infamy.'
He referred TO the President as n
noble instance of self-conquest, un
dertaken and completed with view
to the good of the country, and APP
pealed earnestly to the people to
sustain him. He stated that he
was hopeful of the success Of the
President against the Radicals.
The papers concur in the warm
est praise of the speech, and say it
was remarkably received. 1T may
have been the means of reducing
the Radical vote, but Pease got
most awful support out there, new
ertheless. His supporters must
have been all Mexicans, as We pre-.
sumo the Americans and Germans
voted for Throcllmorton! "Pcase,"
however, may have been a popular
name with people of agricultural
proclivities, and may have got some
votes on the Same principal which
once helped "Pork and Dollars" in

PRESIDENT JOHNSON AND Mr.. DAVIS
The New York Times thus refers to Presi-
dent Johnson's proclamation, alleging the
completely of Mr.. Davis with the murder
of Mr.. Lincoln:
Inscriptions partisan journals are con-
tinually reiterating the statement that the
proclamation issued by the President on
the Ind day of May, 1866, offering a re-
ward for the capture of Davis Clay and
others, was issued upon his own motion and
foun ded upon his own belief that tho muir
der of Mr.. Lincoln, and attempted assassi-
nation Of Mr.. Seward, were melted and
procured by Davis, Clay and others. The
radical organ here repeats the assertion,
and says Judge Holt had nothing to do
with the imprisonment and continued in
generation Of the parties on the charge
The truth is, that the President did not
himself investigate any of the alleged facts
and evidence upon which the proclamation
was issued. 1t vas based entirely upon
the statement furnished by Judge Holt
from the Bureau of Military Justice. The
exigency of the occasion precluded the idea
Of thorough investigation by the President
of the voluminous and circumstantial
proofs on file in the Bureau of Military
Justice. Mr.. Johnson had occupied the Pres
iden tial chair but little over two weeks
when Judge Hollis report was presented to
him, and he was so burdened with official
cares that he could not, il he had been dis
posed, have thoroughly examined the testi-
mony; nor was there probably any necessi-
ty, for the custom has been generally TO
take the reports and statements of heads
of the departments as the basis for the
Presidents official action
