TIE SHOOTING AT NEwARK.-In our
account of the shooting at Newark on
Saturday last, the name of J. O'Blien
was given us as the man causing the
atfray. We were informed yesterday
that the name of the person who was
the in>ti9ator is James Moran, who
has been working a claim by contract
for the Newark Company, for the last
four months. We willingly make the
correction, as there is Il man by the
name of James O'I;rien working at
Newark, who, beinga peaccable and
well-behaved citizen, does not desire
to have anything derogatory to his
character appear.

ARRESTED on SUsrICToN.-A man
named \. Widely Lee alias Frank l.,
Stone, was arrested OH Monday morn
ing by Sheriff Sullivan on u charge of
stealing horses, the property Of VIM.
Jones. The animals were stolen some
days since from the Pleasant Valley
House, and from the actions and con-
versa.iOns of Lee it was thought that if
not a principal he was a confederate in
the stealing of the horses. Several
others are implicated in the affair, and
an officer was dispatched Yesterday to
arrest two men living in Pleasant VAL
ley, who are thought to have Il hand in
the stealing. Lee does not hesitate i'm
admitting that he knows all concerning
the stealing of the animals, but saws
that nothing can be proven on him.
His examination will take place as soon
rs the other parties suspected are ar
rested, which will probably be in "a
few days.

were 81 mules in the stables at the

ton of eight set, and Il large quantity

not be retarded, arrangements having
already been made to replace the lost

only to make a fight, but TO make one 50
successful as to place its Old time oppo-
nents on the flat OF their backs To have
carried the great states OF Ohio and lndi-
ana by handsome majorities, and to make
q gain Of thirteen members of Congress
therein, is an achievement which, to say
the least. entities the democracy to be

the purse strings Of the nation in its con-

There is another reflection which comes
of the situation. 1t is that these are no
victories achieved by coalition, bargain

and that every one who takes part in il

Destruction Of a Comanche Village

NEW YORK, Oct 49, Details of Nc

skirmishes the command came upon the
Comanche village in deep canon near
the head OF the Red River, about daybreall
They We're obliged to charge down pre-
cipice of 500 to 800 feet into valley halt
a mile wide, where the Indian lodges were
strung for some three miles. The descent
took nearly an hour.
After driving the Indians through the
whole village, Mckenzie ordered their
lodges burned and the captured cattle to
be secured During the fight tive Indians
We're killed, and probably ten Or twelve
wounded.
There were 400 horses and mules cap
tured, from which $50 Of the best were
selected, and the remainder shot to prevent
their falling into the hands of hostile In
dams. All the lodges were burned, and
the loss to this particular band of Indians
is about irreparable This is believed to
be the most effective blow dealt on this
frontier during the last two years.
Among the plumber found in the lodge
were new blankets, fresh from the reserva-
tons, the best breech-oading arms, with
plenty OF metallic cartridges, one mule be-
ing found packed with 5000 rounds, and
another loaded with lead and powder in
kegs, bales of calico and turkey red, sacks
OF Minneapolis and Usage Mission flour,
groceries of all kinds in profusion. Indeed
