81. Louis Democrat Ofice Eutrencl,ed.
Huntley, the war correspondent Of the
st. Louis Journal, furnishes late advices
relative to the unpleasantness between
Hutchins, llts OF. the st. Louis Times, and
T shsaek, of the Democrat. In clipping
from the Journal, one experiences a feeling
of trust and confidence perfectly delightful,
as It is well known fact that that sheet ia
nothing if not reliable. The following is
the latest communication from the Journal
man:
/ Mr.. Hutchins will do extremely we'll to
pause and reconnOitre before taking any
ispersonalo action against the author of the
libel upon him published in the Democrat,
a few DAYS ago. If Mr.. Hutehins should
undertake to lick that editor, he will surely
be killed, and then we won't have any Leg
islature or any Vienna Exposition, or any
thing else that's nice and naughty. Mr..
Hutchins was VI wise in advertising his in
tentions as be did, for it put the editor on
his guard, and be has so arranged and fixed
himself that any attack on him will blow
up the Sssaulting party. So, MIR. Hutchins
will be cheated of his vengeance.
This morning. Journal reporter made
tour through the Democrat building, and
was surprised and delighted with the per-
petrations made to welcome Mr.. Hutchius
with bloody hands to . hOspitable grave.
At the door of the counting-ro0m he was
met by Major General Fishback, who de-
manded his credentials. Tue reporter in
troduced himself and was Immediately pre-
sented with copy of McCuilagh's recon-
menda ion from the Cincinnati Enquirer,
| which, Gen. FIshOack assn ed him would
serve as a passport over tina works, bat
called his attention to the words, 'not
| transferable written across the name OF
| Mr.. McCullagh. The reporter was hen IL
troduced to Brevet Major General Or Has
| selman, who like his superior officer wore a
feather 10 his hat. Gen. Hasselm4n kind
ly agreed to escort the reporter over
THE FoRTIFICATIONs,
and the two starred,
"When do you expect the attack" asked
the reporter.
"We don't know when to expect it" said
the General, at may come at any moment"
"Will the office defend i5self?"
'To the bitter end"
"What is that for ?" asked the reporter,
pointing to a Wheel0arrow dfaped with
black.
"That is The Democrats ambulance. 1t
has been used from. Lime to time by re-
por.ers and editors ever since the paper
started"
"What ara thase piles in the doors and
windows?"
"Those are files of the Republican"
"But how do you shoot? | don't see
any embrasures or port holes"
ave don't intend to shoot. We will
| until NJ cor,ac N ndar I,
works and then push them over on top Of
him"
sDo you wish to kill the MANI"
"Certainly we do. Do you suppose any
man can live with that pile of Republicans
on him?"
Suppose he skips out, and they dom
fall on him what then ?"
SIN that case, General Fishback will or
der the forces to retreat into the inner forti
ications Their retreat Will be covered b.
the printers, who will throw dirt anC
printers ink at the invading Mr.. Hutchins.
"Wiil he give in then?
"Can't tell. We have generally beef
su 'cessful iu that style OF warfare. Blu
let me introduce BreVet Briga er- Genera
Newton Crane, and Rear Admiral G.
Leonard"

they bowed politely to the reporter.

Hutchins," said the reporter to Admir-
, Leonard.

hawse we'll jam his W ather earrings dow
his galley stove pipe and clear his mizzel

The reporter turned to Gen. Crane.

Napoleonic look heightened by featbe

"Who is that gentle mau?n asked the re

similarly"
This then is

O. Gen. Crane did not plean to let out th
N bit of information, and the reporter saw
av the eagle eye of Admiral Lsonard tn
- | Cen Crane had said too much.
