HEAVY DOSES OF LgAD.-Some may be
surprised, reading the account we pub
lished last week, that anything Of a des-
perate character should be ascribed TO a
fight between so men with Maynard rifles,
against 80 Indians with arrows. Certain
facts need to be understood, to have a cor
rect conception of the affair. The clouds
of flying frost obliged the rifemen to come
to close range, in order to see their enemy.
This was in favor Of the bow shots. The
arrows were known, after the first one had
been shot, to be poisoned. This was
chilling information. Then, these wild
Indians would stand up and deliberately
fire their deadly missiles after receiving in
their carcasSeS as many as six of those
heavy conical shots which the MAYNARD
carries +; and would let fly their arrows
with the last breath whereas one of the
leuden shots so carried by them would
have knocked any white man out of time.
Virtually. each Indian had about seven
lives.-Hunl6oia Register.

"WEDDryo THE WRoNo MAN" is the

the wedding ceremonies were almost begun
in a fashionable church, when a package was
handed to the cxpectant husband by an I'M
known person, marked "open this immedi.

was found to contain a lot OF the most pas
sionate loye-letters from the young lady to
her poor lover, and, on being Intercepted,
she boldly answered were hers, and that her
affections had undergone no change. There
was a scene very quick ; the almost Benedict
handed back his almost bride to her parent,
the lady swooned, the old gentleman swore,
and the wedding was off. To smother the
scandal, the father consented for her to mar

AT the late New England dinner, DR..
Bellows made some statements which are
particularly worthy of note. He said /:
mo less than thirteen millions o money
passed through his hands for the relief Of
the widows and orphans of the brave men
who fought these battles in the late strug-
gle. He would state a circumstance that
would scarcely be believed unless it came
from authority, that no less than ninety
per cent. of the army who fought through
out the wal were purely American. He
did not think his friend, the President of
the St. Patrick Society, would be obliged
to him for this statement, but it was, new
ertheless, the truth, and if his worthy
friend was chagrined with the statement.
he would say to him, it is so but let the
London Timer put that fact in its pipe
and smoke it. More than that, more than
80 per cent. Of the claims Of wounded SOL
diers, widows and orphans, came from those
Of foreign birth. He did not say this to
reflect upon the gallantry and loyalty and
bravery Of the Irish and German and other
peoples who had so nobly fought for the
Union and the country they had adopted.
He merely did it at this time-at the close
Of the great events through which they
had passed-to vindicate the character and
patriotism of the native element. and to
disabuse those powers abroad who imag-
ined or wished to please themselves or
their subjects with the idea that the great
American struggle and the great victory
which closed it was achieved by the for
eign element in the country. This is not
So! With all thanks and gratitude TO the
Irish, Germans and other clements that
entered into the struggle. he was bound to
make this declaration at the present time"

elected by the last House of Bishops,
Episcopal Bishop of this State, has de-
clined the office. DR.. Howe is a mar over

incident to such a Bishopric, precluded
his acceptance of the high place he was
chosen to fill. L. is expected that the next

not accepting, Rev. Mr.. Riley, OF Carson,

Of the ratio Of our troops TO the whole
number enlisted in the war. According
to the best sources Of information open &c
me. the ratio Of native born soldiers in thu

ter this morning, from an old resident Of
Gold Hill to a friend here, which is en-
tirely reliable. The writer says he has a
good claim, but he would advise no one
to come there at present, as there is a
revolution about breaking out there, be-
tween the Government and the people,
and that the prospect is slim for Ameri-
cans coming there at this time. The writer
expected, with some other Americans, to
have TO take to the mountains, and leave
his diggins, TO avoid being compelled to
take up arms in the war. With such a
warning. it seems poor policy for men to
leave this region. The letter was written
at the mines on Christmas day, and was
mailed at Tumaco. four hundred miles
south of Panama.
