called upon, and with his aid the accused
was lodged in jail. In the mean
time large crowd of negroes had collected,
and notwithstanding the efforts of many OF
the more judicious of their own people, re-
fused to disperse, and clamOred for the re-
lease of the prisoner and that the man who
aided in his arrest should be incarceRted
with him. The Mayor commanded the
crowd to disperse, and when they refused
ordered the police to collect force and dis
perSe it. The police were unable to do 50,
and called upon the militia company
known as the Danville Grays. This seemed
to greatly eXasperate the negroes, and
s1ev took up stones and made violent and
boisterous demonstrations. The militia
company charged the mob with the bayo-
net. and was received with a vOlley OF
stones, which placed several men h0rS du
combat. The mob, however, at once broke
and ran in all directions. Several wert

THE MORMON CRISIS.
VieNs Of an Anti-Brighamite.

New YORK, Oct. CIV. S. GOdbe, of
Salt Lake City, one of the principal opposi-
ton leaders TO the Brigham ! oung gtheocracy,
who is now in this city, has stated that the
present crusade against MOrmonism is not
instigated by Methodism; that polygamy viii

Of his being assaSsinated. The people are
held together by fanaticism, and on the
death of Young Mormonism will expire.

partment knowing where he was, no war
rants on& the State Treasury would be

aud special appropriations, the law in these
CASES specifying the amount.
The Governor states that the notice OF

falseboOds and absurdity. The Governor
left Georgia in the latter part Of June upon
his usual summer vacation with his family.
His intention to visit California was well
known to his personal friends, TO his secre-
tarirs. and to Mr.. COwly, President of the
Senate, who is eX-OticiO Lieutenant
governor. The Governor will start for
Georgia within few days.
The exception made in the Treasurer
n ,ioe includes all the warrants that art
1n~ll. and heHoe the sbsurdity Of the no
tja.. An executive warrants must be hrs'
submitted to sle Comptroller General fol
approval, and when 50 approved the Treas
urrr has no discretion, and is required py
lag 10 pay them. The Governor states tha
the notice of the Treasurer is only part OF ;
vigorously pushed scheme to inure th'
credit Of the State and depreciate the mar
ket value of Georgia bonds, for the purpos'
Of buying them in at large discount.

came to complain of the tyrannical conduct
of the Prussian troops in occupation Of that
city, and to urge the government to pray for
their withdrawal from that city and depart

citizens, who forgot to deliver ap their arms
in accordance with orders from the military
commandant. The deputation was in
formed that their complaint would be
brought to the attention of Gen. Manteuffel.

In Minnesota.

IOul liuS SduSo'
In Minnesota.
ST. PAUL. Oct. 6.-The great prairie fire
is still raging with unabated fury, although
a slight rain yesterday stayed its progress
some. The course of the fire is southeast,
and up to the last accounts it had reached
nearly as far south as the Iowa border, and
eastward as far as the Minnesota river,
which it is hoped viii stay its further prog
reSs. The high wind of yesterday drove II
for the highlands rapidly, and was burn
ing fercely in the big woods around Glen
coe, Leseur, Mankato and New Allen. The
reports of the ravages of the fire are con-
stantly coming in, though evidently greatly
exaggerated. The loss 50 far Is positively
known to be confined to houses, barns, fences
hay and wheat, and live and farm stock.
Only two lives are actually known to have
been lost. that of Swede named Canul, out
in KandyOki county, and man, name
unknown. who started from the same
county with a drove Of cattle from Fort
Garry, and was oyertaken by the ire,
There is no means Of aScertaining the
amount Of damage, owing to the large tracts
of country over which the fire has swept,
and its inaccessible nature, but il must be
very heavy, as many small towns have been
completely destroyed, and the solitary farms
and houses in the track Of the fire have
almost invariably been burned to the ground.
The amount Of suffering must necessarily
be great, as many farmers have lost every
thing, homestead, live stock, and crops, with
a long winter close upon them.
In Illinois and wisconsin.
CHICAGO, Oct 6.-The drought now pre-
vailing in the West is probably unequalled
| in its history, certainly for the past twenty
! five years. All through central and south
ern Illinois wells and the smaller streams are
completely dried up, and the inhabitants
| find great difficulty in obtaining sufficient
water to supply the necessities Of their house
! holds and their stock. Many of the wealth
| lest farmers are engaged in sinking artesian
wells, preferring to incur this heavy eXpen-
diture rather than trusting to a natural sup
plv for the future. So dry is the soil that
fall blowing is rendered almost impossible.
| This fact is true, not only in central and
southern Illinois, but also in northern Lii
nois and all through Wisconsin.
! LATER-Fires in the woods and on the
prairies are prevailing in every direc in
The northwest, including Michigan, Illinoi s,
Minnesota and Iowa. Information fro m
the points visited say the flames can only be
arrested by a heavy rain. The country Il
dry as tinder in every direction.
