ST. LOUIS, July ia special from

broke out at Fort Harker on June 25th,
since when over a dozen soldiers OF the
3Sth coIored infantry and several citi-
zens, including George X. Eaton and
William Edwards, OF the Quartermas-
ters' Department, and brother of
Captain Arms, have died. There are
now nearly twenty soldiers in the hos
pital sick with the cholera. The Sur

porary insanity, while on the march

coal. A three foot vein has been dis
covered 20 miles from Pond Greek.

DETROIT, July l3.-An important de-
cision, relating to telegraph companies,
has lust been rendered by the Supreme
Court OF this State in the case of the
Western Union Telegraph Company Us.
Chrew, appeal from the Wayne Circuit
Court. Carew telegraphed to Balti-
more for forty cases of oysters: 1n the
transmission an error occurred where
by he received four cases instead of
forty. The message was written on one
of the compauy's blanks with the usual
printed heading containing the condi-
tons on which messages are taken for
transmission. The Circuit Court held
that the telegraph company was liable
for the damage suffered by Carew,
treating the company as common car
riers, and Carew as not bound by the
conditions unless his attention was par
ticularly called to them. The Supreme
Court reverses this decision, holding
chat telegraph companies are not COM
mon carriers, and that they have a
right to establish any reasonable rules
governing their liability in the Impair
tial transmission of messages by them;
that whereby the heading OF ii message
plainly printed in conspicuous letters
it is stated "to be sent on the annexed
condition. the sender by signing the
message adopts the conditions and is
bound by them whether he reads them
or not; il is his own negligence II he
fails to notice them.
