Hancock has ordered ten soldiers to eve
~ station between Lookout and Lake,
and one hundred at Downer, Chalk Bluffs,
Monument, Big Timber and Big Springs,
and adds that he will send more men if
required. This we learn by private dis
patch. The same paper also has the
following: There is a JOY in the house
of Capt. John c. Anderson its ten days
old and of the female persuasion. The
Transcript says: On a stake at the
mouth OF Guy Gulch is written a list of
water power claims, ETC., by parties who
certainly claim enough, and on the same
stake somebody has written 81 claim
all Gods creation, and my wife claims
the balance, commencing at this stake" /"
The paper mill in course of erection
at Golden City is being pushed forward
energetically, and will be ready for the
machinery before the specified time, Ju-
ly 1st. The Colorado papers claim
that 1867 is big with fair prospects for a
profitable mining season. The papers
down there are snubbing the red man by
commencing the name of Indian with a
" lower case Z" IL. The Register of
the 14th ult. says: The st. Nicholas
Hotel was closed yesterday. The house
seems to be an exceedingly unfortunate
one. :. The Transcript says: Charley
Danforth, who won his shoulderstraps
on board the old Kearsage during a
slight unpleasantness that occurred be-
tween that vessel and another called
the Alabama. has been commissioned as
Postmaster at Golden City, vice Uncle
Miles, resigned, and took possession of
the office on Monday last. The Times
says: Persons who have lately talked
with the railroad manager down the
Platte, say he calculates to make %
miles day from this on (weather and
Indians permitting,) and to have the U.
p. X. K. running into Julesburg by the
10th of June. certain The stages are
running to the cars, now Is miles west
of North Platte, in forty hours from
Denver. The time TO Julesburg will be
about 80 hours. Hence we can shortly
strike Gotham by rail, excepting 30hours
of staging.

from the Virginia Enterprise of the 25th
inst, that the smallpox is on the increase
in that city. Several cases were report.
ed on the Gath, and the authorities were
enlarging the pest-houses for the accom-
mediation of the patients. The Enter
prise of the 25th says: julie Bulette, a
woman of the town, was murdered in
Virginia on the Goth of January last,
and the house robbed of many valua-
bles. No clue to the murderer could be
discovered until few days since, when
circumstances came to light pointing to
one John Millen as the perpetrator of the
deed. After suspicion against him was
which fixed the guilt upon him beyond
doubt. In his trunk was found many
of the articles taken from the house at
the time of the murder, and many val
uables which he had disposed of were
recognized as having belonged to the
murdered woman. After finding him
self caught, he made n clean breast of it
and confessed that he committed the
deed, and asked Chief Edwards to take
a pistol and blow his brains out After
wards he said he wanted to be hung as
soon as possible that he did not wish
TO live any leegcr Million ,-a5 arrested
at the instance of Miss Martha Camp, a
friend of the murdered woman, who not
long since found man crouching behind
her bed, armed with knife and bludg-
con. She gave the alarm, and at once
the rutfian made his escape. She got
pretty fair view of the mans face and
afterwards recognized him on street
and caused him TO be arrested. He has
been for some time lodged in the county
Jail on a charge of an attempt to rob
and murder Martha Camp, and it was
not until lately that facts were discov
cred against him, going TO prove him
the murderer of julie Bulette. Millen is
a Frenchman. :. The NelcS of the 25th

The Washington correspondent Of the Baltimore

The correspondent of the Cincinnati CONNER
cial telegraphs from this city tonight an account
of little unpleasantncss that has arisen between
General Grant and MIR. Stanton on account OF the
phraseology of the latter's letter, yielding to
superior force" and slight disagreement between
them as to the facts connected with the change in
the War Department. From General Grants
testimony before the impeachment committee,
it appears that prior to the correspondence be-
tween them, General Grant and Mr.. Stanton had
a conversation upon the proposed SUSPENSION OF
tho latter II is alleged that General Grant COM
plains OF Mr.. Stanton's language in this note as
being at variance in tone from what was agreed
upon in their consultation.
There is reason to believe that the President
will not hold for the constitutional ten days the
District bill to strike out the word "white,' but
will send to Congress within week his message

DR.. Samuel Henry Dickson.

| volume entitled 'Studies in Pathology and
| Therapeutics, just published by William Wood &
| Co., OF this city, is from the pen Of DIR. Samuel
Henry Dickson, the distinguished pathologst
formerly Professor of the Theory and Practice ot
Medicine in the University OF New York. and now
occupying q similar chair in the faculty of Jeffer-
son Medical College, Philadelphia.
To all those acquainted with Professor Dickson's
signal ability rs q teacher ard writer of medi-
cal therapeutics, the simple announcement OF
| new book from his pen upon the subject of his
specially is quite sufficient to secure its eager pc
rusal. DIR. Dickson has been successful practi-
| toner and teacher OF medicine for about half q
century; first i'll his native City Of Charleston,
South Carolina, afterwards IN New York city, and
finally, fol the last eight years, in Phila delphia.
| During this long period he has enriched the pro-
| fession with several most able and authoritative
treatises upon various branches in his department.
OF research, and his books are noted independent
IL of their high scientific value, for singularly
eloquent and graceful style, which gives them a
decided and peculiar literary merit not common to
works of their class. In the present volume this
charm of style is eminently displayed, making the
Studies" as interesting to the cultivated but
professional reader, as they are to the student or
professional man.
naTheso STUDIES" consist OF six essays, four of
which were read as lectures before the classes OF
the Jefferson Medical College; their subjects being.
respectively The Character and Tendency Of
Disease, It's Causation; OF certain morbid cond-
tions of the Sensoria System; Pneumonia; Scrofu-
losis and tuberculosis, and Therapeutics.
Each of these essays is admirable in its way;
and though of necessity far from exhaustive or
minute, they are nevertheless full, learned, and
in many instances highly ingenious and original in
their aIgumontative and theoretic aspects. They
are besides, happily illustrated by facts and de-
tails OF pathological phenomena, gathered from
the unusually wide reading and experience of Dr.
manner; while at the same time the scientific re-
search extensive erudition, and familiarity with
all forms; systems and theories appertainlng to
the subject, though constantly patent to the
reader, are entirely saved from the suspicion Of
pedantry or egotsm by the unaffected ease and
elegance Of dicton, and the perfect frankness and
utter absence OF dogmatism on the part of the

The New Alabama Constitution.

In looking over the new Radical Magma Charta OF
Alabama find that in its principal features it re-
sembles the old constitutions we have known i'll
this country since the American Revolution. In
some respects, however, as was to be anticipated,
the new runs ahead of the old, and we will endea-
vor to note the most striking OF these changes:
l. Imprisonment for debt is prohibited.
g. No property qualification can be established
for electors of the State.
g. The clause OF slavery reads as follows
That no form of slavery shall exist in this
State and there shall be no involuntary servitude
otherwise than for the punishment OF crime, OF
which the party shall have been duly convicted.
4. Divorces can only be granted by suits in
chancery.
5. The judges Of the courts are to hold their
offices for six years, but may be removed by the
Governor on the address of two-thiris OF the
General Assembly or by impeachment
G. In all elections by the people the electors
shall vote by ballot. Every male person born in
the United States, and every male person who has
teep naturalized, or who has legally declared his
intention to become citizen of the United States,
twenty-one years old or upwards, who shall have
resided in this State six months next preceding
the election, and three months in the county in
which he offers to vote except as hereinafter pro-
vided, shall be deemed an elector.
Soldiers, sailors and marines in tho United
States service are not permitted to vote by reason
of being stationed in the state on duty. Regis

The Charleston Daily News for Is6s-Im-
portant Announcement.

Encouraged by the recent large increase IL
the circulation of THE CHARLESTON DAHL
NEws, the proprietors are happy to announc'
that, with the opening of the new year, th'
price of subscription will be reduced to figure
which will at once place the paper within
the reach of every family in the city ant
throughout the State On and after the frs
of January, 1865 THE DAILY News will be pub
lished at SIX DOLLARS A YEAR, payable, III al
cases, in advance 1t will then be, without
exception, the cheapest first-class journal IL
the Southern States. There is no good reason
why our community should not be furnished
with live daily newspaper at rate approx,
mating thet of the sprightly penny press OF the
Northern cities; and the very generous support
which has been accorded to us on all sides has
fastened step, long contemplated on our part,
towards meeting the popular want. 1t is hard
ly necessary to say that there will be no dimi-
mutton in the amount or interest of the reading
matter in any department of the paper; on the
contrary, it will be our constant effort and our
pride to make it, day by day, more full, reliable
and entertaining spirited compend OF the
worlds news, the mirror of local life, and the
mouthpiece of an enlightened and liberal pub
lie opinion.
At the solicitation of many of our friends in the
country we shall also, during the first week IN
January, commence the issue of THE CHARLES
TON TR1-WEEKLY News. The subscription
price will be THREE DOLLARS YEAR, or Two
DOLLARS FOR SIX MONTHS, payable always in
advance.
This reduction in our rates will, we know,
be all the more welcome to the public, mas
much as it comes at time Of unprecedented
financial distress, when there are few, indeed,
among our people who do not sorely need every
dollar that car be saved. We do not permit
ourselves to doubt that our enterprise will be
rewarded with steady increase of that popu-
lar appreciation and support of which we have
hitherto received 80 liberal share. The
DAILY News already enjoys circulation
largely exceeding that of any other journal
now published in this or the adjoining States /;
and its readers may rest assured that in the
future, no effort will be spared to increase the
attractiveness of its columns, and to extend
still further the field of its influence and use
