A special dispatch from the camp on the
| Big Bend of Muscle Shell River, of August
| Goth, says that General Custar's cavalry expe
dition fought on August 4th at the mouth OF
Tongue River, with 400 Indians. The fight
| lasted three hours, resulting in a loss
| of ten to the Indians, killed and wound
ed. Our loss was four men killed. On
the 18th, while in bivouac near the mouth
OF the Big Horn, the same command was at
tackled by near 1000 Indians. They were re-
pulsed with a loss of fifty killed and wounded.
Our loss was one man killed and three
wounded.
st. Louis dispatch of the ed says the re-
cent statement purporting to give an account
of an attempt to throw train on the Missouri
Pacific Railway from the track, four miles
east of Holden, Mo-, and the boarding of the
train by band of ruffians, with the evident
intention of robbng the passengers, and the
subsequent killing of one and woundng of
another of the desperadoes at Holden, is
pronounced by the officers of the railway com
pany to be utterly false and made out of
whole cloth.
a man has recently been arrested at Des
Moines, Iowa, for passing a counterfeit $500

the vignette of John Q. Adams is a little dark
er, the upper lip being somewhat blurred. The
ink on the back is shade darker. The lathe
work is not so distinct. The numbers, which
are generally pale red on counterfets, are
perfect. 1t is also perfect imitation of the
silk mixed paper now being used by the Gov
ernment, and is well calculated to deceive.
An Indianapolis dispatch of the oath says
the cholera had entirely disappeared from that
city.
Mrs. Sarah johnson, of Little Rock, Ark,
was bitten by rabid cat about year ago, and
died recently of hydrophobia.
The steamer George G. Wolf was blown up
at st. Francis Island, in the Mississippi on the
evening of the 22d. Twelve persons were
supposed to be lost, and many were injured.
The lady passengers were all saved.
An accident recently occurred on the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad, four miles west of
Cameron, ". Va, by which three or four Ger
man emigrants were fatally injured, and fifteen
or twenty wounded. The accident was caused
by the spreading Of the track, which threw the
tender, express car, and one passenger car
down an embankment and all the coaches off
the track. The coach that went over the bank,
some fifteen or twenty feet, contained some
seventy or eighty men, women, and children.
Some of the emgrants became enraged, think
ing the conductor and engineer were trying to
kill them, and set upon the officers of the train
with stones, and they had to flee for their
lives.
Three cars of an express train on the South
Side Railway, Long Island, jumped the track
on the 18th, and about fifty passengers, mostly
women and children were injured-none
fatally.

ONE of the best laws passed by
the recent Legislature was one to
punish the obtaining of mone+ IA.
property under false prefer SeQ With
Imprisonment in 'the Penitentiarv
when the amount IS $35 and with
fine and impr'. sonment in the eoun-
~ jail when the amount is less; the
penalties to apply when persons I'M
usF false pretense procure sigma
lures to notes, drafts, etc. The ne
cessity of this law seemed to spring
from the many fraudulent transac-
tons Of persons who travel tine
country obtaining from farmers and
others what are understood to be
orders, but which are printed or
written ina way that makes them
notes Of hand.

In the election of a Legislature in
Ohio this fall, the great turning
point upon which the contest will
hinge, will be the return of Judge
THURMAS to Che United States
Senate. That he has made a most
acceptable Senator-one possessed
of dignity, honor, ability, influence
and unscrupulous honesty, no one
will deny. During his six years
service in, the Senate he has won
the undivided praise of the Democ-
racy of the nation, and commanded
the respect and admiration of all
honest and fair minded Republi-
cans, and we believe that if harmo-
ny is preserved in our party, and
good men nominated for the Legis-
lature, that he will be triumphantly
returned to the Senate. The nation
cannot afford to have him retire to
private life at this time, when so
many bad men r getting into the
Senate through bribery, corruption
and c~arpet-bagism, We want some
honest men there, so that if they
cannot control its action, they can
at least expose its corruption to the
people. ak. gfbs .,i .le59

In the last United States Senate,
the Republicans had 81 members
and the Democrats 17-making a
Republican majority of 40. In the
House the Republicans had 1873

Republican majority 80. On joint
ballot, therefore, the Republicans
had rs majority! Now, if with this
majority and a President just elect

The Democratic State Convention
will meet at Columbus on WedRes-
day next, and we hope that Vinton
county will be represented by full
delegation-every delegate chosen
by the Democratic and Liberal
Convention next Saturday, to be
present without fail. The condition
of things demand the attendance OF
men who are true and win work for
what they honestly consider the
best interests of the organization.
If ever there was an opportunity
presented by which those opposed
to Radical Imposition, Salary Steal
ing, Postage Gfabbing, and Land
Grabbing can gain the ascendancy
IN this State, that opportunityiis
now presented, and it only remains
for those presentot ia act with wis
dom to bring about this end. We
would urge all who can make it
convenient to come to the Mass.
Meeting, to be held at the Court
House next Saturday, for the purs
pose of choosing four delegates to
represent the county in the State
Convention. And we would say to
all who.'can possibly 60 to be present
at the Convention at Columbus, on
the 9Th. As halflfare arrangements
have been made for delegates on all
Railroads leading into Columbus
including the Marietta q Cincinna-
ii, and the Columbus d Hooking
Valley Railroads, the expense Of
the trip will not be heavy, there
fore a number of the Democrats

well afford to atteLdl the, Conven-
ton. Make your. arrangements so
that you can certainly be present
