WASHINGTON, Aug. &c.
The President tonight issued the official
order removing Gen. S:ckles from the COM
mand of the I'd military district, and APP
pointing Maj. Gen Candy in his place
The President, IN the order, directs Gen
Grant to make future disposition of Gen
Sickles and Gen. Candy is required to as
sumo immediate command.
The President has also issued an official
order Tonight appointing Gen. Hancock
to the command of the 9Th military dis
trict in place of Sheridan, who is directed
to proceed at once to Fort Leavcnworth
Kansas, and not to come to Washington
as ordered by Gen. Grant in the previous
order
Gen. Thomas is ordered to remain in
command of the department Of the Cum
berland.
The President, in assigning Gen. Han
cock to Gen. Sheridan place, has issued
an order making direct issue with Gen
Grant, as to the powers conferred by the
reconstruction &C. on commanders of mil
tary districts. He permits Gen. Hancock
to annul or repeal such acts of Gen. Sher-
dams administration as he may see fit
without reference to Gen. Grants recent
order assigning Gen Thomas to that COM
mand and continuing them all in force.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.
As regards Gen Grant, there is no doubt
that he is indignant at the Presidents re-
moval of Gen. Sickles and opposed it this
morning, when the Presidents order was
handed him. He attended the Cabinet
meeting to-day, as usual, but left short
time before its conclusion. Mr. Wash
burnc. who has been here for several DAYS
with Grant, freely declares that the latter
is thoroughly opposed to the President in
the course nGc Is pursuing.
Secretary McCulloch decided tonight
not to tender his resignation, having been
informed by the President, this evening
that it would not be accepted.

THE BATTLE AT FORT KEARNEY
From the Omaha Herald Anr

We recently published the news Of the
attack on Porter's train near Phil kearncy
and the great battle which occurred on the
I'd of July. The arrival of Mr.. Porter
himself enables US to give the full particu-
lars of that bloody affair as from his own
lips.
MIR. POrter's train was engaged hauling
wood for Phil. Kearney from two piperies
located within about four and half miles
OF that post. On the outskirts OF the Dor
der of the more northern portion of the
timber the great bull, Of Portcr's oxen
were detached from the wagons, grazine
under the care of eighteen Transfers On
the south, half mile distant from point
midway between the two pincrics, was an
other party in charge Of other wagons
Between the two was an open tablcland Of
rolling prairie. At this point was a corral
which had been modelled into fort for de-
Tense in case of attack some days before
This was occupied by the gallant Powell
the Inflated Jenness, twenty three soldiers
and eighteen citizens. This corral was
understood to be the base upon which the
men were to retreat from the timber in
case OF an attack.
The first attack was mad, ut 1OI o'clock
\. NJ by from forty to fifty indians with
the object of driving of the herd The
men drove back this party, but they were
soon followed by increasing numbers, when
they ran into the adjacent mountains, hot
ly pursued by the Indians until the purSu-
ers had shot away their arrows. fighting as
they retreated and killing large numbers
Of the red skins. Simultaneously with
this attack, another was made upon the
men and herd IN the smaller pinery, and
upon the corral or central fort for defense,
commanded by Powell. by this time the
Indians were seen from kcarney pouring
over in the direction from Ike adjacent
hills towards the devoted band within it,
On they came, first upon horseback. charg
ing and yelling, in their gorgeous war at
tire. They made three distinct aud deter
mined charges upon horseback, and were
repulsed with great slaughter by the breech
leaders in the hands of men fighting for
their lives. They finally retreated to the
hills, and stripping themselves entirely ma
ked, and tying their horses in the timber,
back they came afoot, not less than 5000
of the red devils surrounding the corral.
For two hours and half did the battle
rage with incessant fury. To show the
reckless bravery OF the indians and the
determined resistance Of Powell and his
bcleaguered little force, it is fact that
scores of Indians were killed within ten
PAGES of the corral-so near that it was i'm
possible for the Indians to remove them to
their hospital which was in the rear Of the
timber. Long had the battle ragged with
doubtful issue, when the timely arrival Of
Smith with re-inforcements and gun
caused the Indians to slowly and sulenly
retreat.
The Indian loss is estimated by Powell
and Porter to be at least 800 Our loss
vas the brave Jeaness and five soldiers.
Every tribute Of praise is paid to the
cool and courageous intrepidity of Powell,
Jcnness and the men who fought this
bloody battle.

The Republican party recognizes Ben.
Wade as one of its leaders, and his author
lty to speak for it has never been question
ed. Recently he made speech at Marietta,
Ohio, in which he thus announces the SEN
tlments of his party:
''If you will take the poor Irishman or
other foreigner. who comes here and
knows nothing Of our institutions; if YOU
will permit him to vote after five years
residence, then insist on the same right
for the other class Of persons, (the negroes }
Gas mass, they (the negroes) are bet
ter qualified to discharge their duties I'M
der the government than the great mass,
equal to them in numbers, that we have
always permitted to vote. = l am
glad to say that those people whom your
Legislature has referred it to you to-day
whether they shall be voters or not, are ~
f"ifeIy aJore tie class Aave alluded to a,
oH that intelligence that qualities men to
rote right"
This is the exact language of Mr.. Wade
III his SPSCIH; dS lcpOitcu III INC OdZctte
and Commercial of Cincinnati, both radi-
cal papers, and this is the estimate tie
radicals place upon the intelligence of the
German and Irish voters The radicals
endorse that sentiment. The negro, says
Ben. Wade, is infinitely above the foreign
er in intelligence and in everything that
qualities men to vote right. After such
an expression of the real sentiment of the
radical party, is there German Rcpubli-
can in Marshall County who can, without
compromising his manhood, without a
sense of self-deeradation, 90 to the polls
and assist in keeping such men and such
party in power? For the sake of the
high character borne by the great body of
our foreign born population, we hope there
is none.

Day is Davvning.

Sheridan has been removed, the Presi-
dent has announced his intention TO re-
move Sickies, Seward it is said, will re-
sign. Stanton has been kicked out of the
Cabinet, and charges will be preferred
against Howard, the chief of the niger
bureau, for malfeasance in office. Now, if
the President would resign and leave the
farther conduct of affairs to the radicals,
who have so tied him hand and foot that
he is powerless for good, we think there
would be some prospect that the Jacobln
leaders would soon be seen in their true
colors. Until they shall be thus seen by
those who have hitherto supported them,
there is no hope for a return to a peaceful
constitutional administration Of the affairs
of the government. Either resignation or
by the radical rump would
hasten the opening vision of thinking Re-
publcans and thus be Of advantage to the
country.

1t seems to be decided that original
writs and other legal process, headed with
the legend, "By the authority of the Uni
ted States of America" are to have no
more force down in Sickles' domiuions for

President johnson either that North and
South Carolina are not an the United

GRANr.-A New York exchange says
the mongrel papers are in great quarrel
over Gen. Grant. The Weed-Raymond
conservatives want Grant, while the Gree.
ley Mongrels are down on the Genera-in-
chief. Greeley says Grant is not Sound. ,
Raymond and Weed say he is. Grant
seems to be in the position of the ignorant
clod-hopper who, when asked what were
his politics, declared that che didn't have
a darned polite" If Grant has any DO
litical ideas, he has never put them forth.
Let the Mongrels quarrel over him. He
has done their dirty work without winking
or blinking. The Democracy don't want
him.

cost at 10000 votes and gives the reasons
for lis fears as follows:
''That State was largely peopled from
