GRAED NATIONAL CoNyENTIoN OF
OPP FELLOWS IN CALrFoRNIA. The
Grand Lodge of Independent Order of
Odd Fellows in the United States holds
its next session on Monday, September
20, 1869, in San Francisco, California.
The officers and members of the Order
will make the same journey in special
train over the Union and Central Pacif-
ic Railroads. They are to assemble at
Omaha on the 10th of September. Ar
rangements have been made for COM
mutation tickets for members in the
States east of the Mississippi on nearly
all the railroads in the country. The
Grand Lodge of California solicited the
meeting in that State, and meet the ex-
penses of transporting the representa-
tives to the body from Omaha. The
special train will stop at Salt Lake City
and at the Yosemite Valley, and at 9TH
er places of note, in order to give the
tourists an opportunity to see the sights
along this great highway of nations.
At Sacramento City the Grand Lodge
will stop day to be present at the lay
ing of the corner stone of a grand Odd
Fellows temple, proposed to be erected
at the capital of the Golden State, and
will then proceed to San Francisco,
where it will be received in procession
by tho Grand Lodge of California. The
returning trains have arranged to arrive
at Omaha on the 10th of October, thus
making the trip exactly one month
between the Missouri river and the
bay of San Francisco. The Grand Sire
and Grand Secretary will perhaps leave
in August, but this has not been def
nitely settled. This trans-continental
journey of the supreme legislative
body of this great and powerful frater-
nifty will be one of the notable events of
the year. -ny

In all new ountries we hear of fatal diseas-
es among Fowls, styled Chicken Cholera,
Gapes, Blindness, Chambers, Megrims or Giddi-
mes, &c. LEIS POWDER will eradicate the
above named diseases. In severe attacks, mix
a small quantity with corn meal, moistened,
and feed twice n day. While these diseases
prevail, use little in their feed once or twice
week, and your poultry will be kept free from
all disease. In severe attacks oftentimes they
do not eat; it will then be necessary to admin
lister the Powder by means OF quill, blowing
the Powder down their throat, or mixing Pow
der with dough TO form Pills.
Cows require an abundance of nutritious
food, not to make them fat, but to keep up a
regular secretion ofmilk. Farmers and dairy
men attest the fact that by judicious use OF
LET'S CONDITION POWDER the flow OF milk is
greatly increased, and quality vastly improv-

The notes of the Spanish Bank are quoted
at IL discount. The general fins ncial con-
dltlon at present presents an inausplcious ap-
pearance. Merchants complain that they are
unable to make collections from country mer-
chants.
The Verdad, the new Cuban liberal journal
makes severe attack upon the Spanish Bank
The same paper also denounces the attempts
made this week to assassinate Spanish soldiers.
Inc insurgents have burned the town OF Dotil.
Particulars of the destruction of Bayamo
have been received. The inhabitants, before
and after the firing of their houses fled to the
woods and Guira mountains. 1t is reported
that the confagra.ion lasted three days. The
Prusa says the rebels sacked the city before
setting it on fire. Affecting details are given
of the want and suffering of the fugitive citi-
zens in the mountainous districts which are
uninhabted and destitute of provisions.
Reports from Spanish sources state that
Count ValmaZeda is advancing with his whole
force upon the rebels, who have posted them
selves in the mountains.
The Diario is informed that the rebel Gen.
Jesus Perez has offered to surrender himself
and the forces under his command, provided
an unconditional pardon is glanted. The
Spanish General at Santiago has conceded to
these terms, and expected that Perez would
soon give himself up.
Authentic particulars of recent events and
OF the condition of the revolutionists from Gu

APPOINTMENT OF GEN. MOWER.


NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 2O.-Gen Mower has
been assigned to the command of the District
OF Louisiana, and the headquarters of his reg
iment transferred to this city.
REPLY OF GEN. BUCHANAN TO GOV. YARMOUTH
Gen. Buchanan has addressed a letter to
Senator Kellogg in reply to statements con-
tanned in Gov. Yarmouth letter to Kellogg.
He characterizes the Governors statement
that he was satisfied that the State had no
friend in Gen. Buchanan ard that no reliance
could be placed in his active cooperation as
absurd. He says no one is better aware than
GOV. Yarmouth that to the active measures
taken by him (Buchanan) was due the preser-
Walton of the lives of himself and all the
members OF the Republican party in the Leg
lsature and OF the new State government fol
several days after the assembling of that BODY
In reference to the Metropolitan Police force
he says the constitutionality of the law was
questioned and the force was thoroughly de-
moralized. He details the situation of affairs
at the time and his reasons for advising the
restoration for time at least of the old police
force, which had shown its ability to maintain
peace, and characterizes Gov. Warmouths
statement as unnecessary and unwarranted
The Governor, he says, finds himself compelled
to assail not my acts, but what be is pleased to
call my motives, and this in the face of the
acts themselves.
He proceeds to detail his acts while in com.
mand and to vindicate himself against the
Governors assertions. His fault, he thinks
consists in his having executed the laws OF
Congress exactly in accordance with what he
believes to be their intent and meaning as
soldier and not as politician. He denies the
truth OF the Governors statement that he (Bu-
chanaD) stated ia Ger. Rousseau's presence
that the force was so small that the gentleman
(Rousseau) would be as much justified in re-
firing with his troops as he would be before an
enemy of superior force, which relates to the
number OF troops at the Generals disposal dur
ing the election excitement
