English Reform Bill.

The compromise amendments to the
English Reform bill, which We're intro
duced by D'lsrae,l, in the British House
of Commons, have been adopted after an
animated debate, and bitter and fierce
OBJ position on the part of Gladstone
and Bright, by majority OF sixty,six,
In a full house. The session at which
the action was taken was protracted,
and the vote was not taken until half
past one in the morning, amidst very
exciting scene. The debate occupied
two night sessions, and on the first even
ing the result was regarded by all as
very uncertain The success OF the gov
eminent measure followed closely upon
the announcement OF the settlement of
the difficulties between France and
Prussia upon the vexed Luxembourg
Que stion, which doubtless had its effect
upon the result. The friends of reform
in England will not, however, be dis
heartened, or cease their movements, but
the people will rather accept as an in
stalment, and use it as means Of Sc
curing more substantial and efficient
power to agitate the question, which
will finally result in the accomplishment
OF the object in view, Universal suf-
frage-the complete emancipation OF the
lower classes-is the point at which the
English Reformers are aiming, and sue
cess will crown their efforts ere many
years have passed. The people will not
m UGH longer consent to class rule, and
when every man has voice in the gov
eminent, the days Of kingly power in
England will be numbered. God speed
the right.

He clubbe1 his rife and defended himself

dog came to his aid, when the beast re-
treated and sprung into tree and Miner
reloaded and shot him through the neck,
which brought him down. He was fawn

Fort PHILIP KRARNEY.-Fort Philip
Kearney is situated on Pine Forks and
at the base of the Big Horn Mountains,
on the South, and surrounded on the
other three sides by a regular amphithe-
atre of abrupt bluffs. 1t is a fac s6nile,
or counterpart, of Great Salt Lake Val
ley on a smaller scale. There is plenty
OF good anthracite coal here almost at
the surface, which at present is only
used for forging or blacksmithing pur-
poses. There is also gold to be found in
the mountains, and positive indications
Of oil &, {. Petroleum. have been develop
ed. There is a large party of miners
here who were compelled by the depth
Of the snow and the hostily of the Indi-
ans combined to suspend operations un-
til spring, at which time they are going
on grand prospecting expedition for
gold, oil and other minerals. Fort Philip
Kearney is so miles from Fort Smith,
Dakotah Territory, which is on Tongue
River, and only separated From the Ter
ritory of Montana by the latter stream.
1t is IS miles from Fort Reno, on Pow
der River, Dakotah Territory, (the scene
of Gen. Connor's Indian battle and $50
miles from Fort Laramie, Dakotah Ter
ritory. 1t will long be remembered with
shadder by those who saw the victims
of the massacre.
The Indians are now well armed and
equipped, and as many, nay hundreds,
served three years in or during the war,
they have acquired discipline to an
alarming and dangerous extent. l saw
the Arapahoe tribe the other side Of
Pixies Peak, in Colorado, and every man
OF them had rifle and from one to three
IeVolyers, in addition to their bows and
arrows, spears, knives, tomahawks,
lances, shields, &c.
