DEATH or GENERAL HARDEE.

Lieutenant-Gener William j. Har-
dee, one of the best soldiers in the
army of the late Confederate States,
was buried at Selma, Alabama, on the
Sth of November, 1878.
General Hardee was native of
Georgia and distinguished officer in
the United States Army before the
war of secession.
He was the author of a work on
tactics, which up to the breaking out
of the war, was the manual of in
struction in the army. He was Of
French descent, and inherited his
military talent from a long line of
distinguished French soldiers. In
soldierly qualities he was inferior to
no leader of the Southern forces except,
perhaps, Jackson and Lee. He held
the same relative position to Lee,
Johnston and Jackson that Thomas,
in the Federal army, held to Grant,
Sherman and Sheridan. He was very
much like Thomas as soldier, and
perhaps he and Thomas may be truly
considered the best soldiers in the two
armies.
Unobtrusive, and without self-asser-
ton, they were each always equal, if
not superior to the requirements made
upon them in any emergency.
They both enjoyed the sobriquet of
cold Reliable" Neither of them
ever failed successfully to hold the
field where they fought, and although
sometimes with defeated armies,
neither of them, or the forces under
their immediate command, were ever
whipped.
In General Hardee's last great bat
tie at Averysville, when opposed to
Sherman with an overwhelming force,
he retired from the field with credit,
and though overwhelmed, was not
beaten. One of the greatest soldiers
the world ever saw died when Hardee
died.
In the South there are a thousand
anecdotes of his genial good-humor
and kindliness, and no soldier who
ever lived was more endeared to his
men than he. G.

NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, Nov. l3.--Foreign
financial news continue to improve,
and the feeling is growing here that
the crisis in London has passed. Pri-
yate dispatches to bankers here con-
firm this view and say that the i'm
provement extends to all important
mercantile centers, so that while the
Bank of England's rates continue at
nine, prime discounts are doing in
London at eight per cent. The New
York Banks to-day have over $4,000
600 legal tenders, showing an inereas-
ing strength and disposition to liberal
discount. Commercial paper advices
from the interior are all brighter,
showing a moderate revival of busi-
ness and confidence in foreign eX-
change steady; produce exports con-
tinue heavy, freights to Europe high.
Capt. Duncan, United States Ship
ping Commissioner, is accused of mo-
nopolizing the whole business of ship
ping seamen, and of having 81 agents
for that purpose whom he pays out Of
money received instead of paying the
same into the United States Treasury.
Irving, the confessed Nathan mur-
derer, has promised to make further
revelations about the murder, if the
authorities will dismiss the prosecu-
ton against him for burglary.
A letter from Havana gives full
account of the capture of the Virgil
MUS by the Spanish gunboat Tornado.
1t says that at the time of the capture,
the Virginius was flying the Ameri-
can flag, which was pulled down by
the Spanish officers and their en-
sign hoisted instead. A court martha
was held on board the Tornado, and
all the prisoners held as pirates. The
Virginius had papers for Colonel
Ryan, and all the passengers appeared
on the Iapers as laborers for railroads.
Account, d fer as to the position of the
V.rginius at the time of capture.
AtNew York to-day Rosenzweig was

THE Leroy-D Duret troupe has broken
up at Los Angeles. From its disrup-
tion a second combination was effect
ed, with Mr.. Hudson Liston at the
head. After playing with some sue
cess in the country-considering the
blackberry season has passed-they
have returned, and intend proceeding
East, paying their travelling expenses
by playing en- route.-[Chronicle.
This is true, except in the following
particulars: The troupe has not broken
up; a second combination has not
been formed; Mr.. Liston has nothing
to do with the troupe; the blackberry
season is not over; the troupe have not
returned; they do not propose to pro-
ceed East, nor do they propose paying
their travelling expenses by playing EN-
route

nearly DO U1LE the Circu-
lation Of either contempo-
rary paper published In Los
Angeles. As an advertising
medium, it is consequently OF
DOUBLE their value.
The PolitIca! Ground Swell.

The panic and decentralization which
smote the Republican party in Octo-
Der, seems to have been intensified in
the late election, and the effect in
many parts of the country is over
whelming. The Independent move
ment has been successful, either wholly
orin part, in nearly every State where
elections have been held. Even in
Michigan and Massachusetts, the panic
has reached the disciples of Grant. In
the latter State, the majority of 1000
one year ago, has been reduced to H.
600 or $1,000. Gen Banks has beaten
his Republican competitor for the
State Senate, and all the large cities
Boston, Lowell, Worcesterand Spring
field, have given Democratic majori-
ties, showing the astonishing bewilder-
ment and Generalization Of the Re-
publican party in the Old Bay State.
In Michigan, the special election in
the 5th Congressional District, to fill
the vacancy in Congress, caused by the
death of Hon. w. d. Foster, is so close
that only the official count can decide
the contest. Mr.. Foster was elected
just one year ago before by over l1,OO0
majority.
In Wisconsin, the Republicans had
rs their candidate for Governor one of
the most popular men in the State, and
who was not suspected of any fav-
or for railroads or monopolies. The
Republican majority of 49, 900 one year
ago has been overcome, and Governor
"Cad. Washburn" is defeated, together
with the entire State ticket, and the
"Grangers' are triumphant. Even the
Legislature has a majority of Gar
mer's candidates." In majority of
the counties of Illinois, Iowa and Kan
sas, the farmers have been successful
and elected their candidates. The key
note which was sounded in California
in September, and re-echoed in Octe-
Der, is resounding throughout the
length and breadth of the land.

GrOurd Departure of Miners.
SAN BERNARDINo, Nov 13.
From Prescott, Arizona, November
Sth, via San Bernardino November
18th, we received the following:
Good news from the front. Twenty-fOur
erring red brethren were sent to the
happy hunting grounds, and nine more
were captured. A letter from the
front, received by us few days ago,
contains the following: "The troops
under command of Major Brown,
killed twenty-four, and captured nine
Indians in Tonto Basin, near the east
fork of the Verde, on the morning of
the 9th of October. Machodata, the
brother of Delche, was found among
the dead. The Indians had evidently
only lately committed some depreda-
tions. Among their effects were found
a complete miners kit, miners cloth
ing, and leather belt, with silver buck
les. The Brown alluded to is Major
w. S. Brown of the 5th Cavalry, who
commands Camp Grant. He had a
mixed command of white and Indian
soldiers. The way he came to catch
the savages mapping, was while search
ing for Indian signs, he caught three
Indian gentlemen, who sooner than
suffer in the least, led the way to the
Rancheria of their red brethren, which
was surrounded in the night, and
whipped out in the morning. Thirty or
forty Indians escaped; these went we'll
ballasted with lead. The Indians
must have been TontO Apaches, and
from articles found in their possession
the fellows who committed the recent
murders and robberies on Pinal creek.
Brown, you have done well, your men
have done well for your country, and
your countrymen will never again
suffer at the hands of the departed
twenty-four. From our heart we
thank you and yours for this latest
achievement"

This evening, young man named

the cars, lost his balance and fell un-
der the cars, striking on his head and
dislocating his neck; the wheel passed
over his body causing instant death.

tolls, Norton fired at Quigley, who
returned the fire, several shots being
exchanged, Norton receiving one shot
in his wooden leg.
