The temper Of the Indians at the agency

Of Wilmington, North Carolina.
He thinks that the picture pre-

as uninvitiug to the traveller as any that
he saw while South.
He stopped day or two at Richmond
and heard debate in the Senate OF Vir.

bill proposes to appropriate several thou.
sand dollars wherewith to induce, by pub.
lication Of statistics, ETC., immigration to
the Old Dominion. One advocate OF the
bill alluded to the fact that there was one
Northern city that had more people in 1t
than all Virginia. 1t was people that they
wanted in Virginia; people of strong
arms and stout hearts, who would de-
velope the wealth Of the State and en-.

The Notorious Younger Brothers.

ST. LOUIS, March 21.-The latest In
formation from the scene Of the fight be-
tween the notorious Younger brothers and
detectives near Monegaw Springs, is that
the detectives engaged were Allen, OF
Chicago, and Wright, OF st. Louis. The
former is still at Roscoe mortaIIy
wounded, and the latter escaped, Il Il
iurther stated that James Younger was
wounded in the aaray, and his capture Is
expected; also that the Younger brothers
came down from the north Just after the
murder ol Witcher near Independence
which leads to the belief that they had a
hand in the murder. Nothing further has
been received regarding the butchery Of
lhe Stitzenieter family near Centreyille,
ILLINOIS, yesterday. There is no tele!
graphic communication with Cenrevllle.
