The Pail Nall Gazette Enthusiastically accuses
"many living Englishmen of writing of America
in strain of eulogy which would be fulsome if
applied to Utopia Yet it confesses that Canon
Kin gsley is right when, with impassioned gratitude
he speaks of the kindness which visiting English
men receive here. 1t goes on to note that when an
American gentleman with good introductions makes
his appearance in London he is asked to few din
ners and evening parties, has tickets sent to him
for Nottingham and the Geological Gardens, and as
last great boon, is perhaps made honorary member
of a friends club; while the American host shows
an English gentleman bringing letter of introduc-
tion thoroughly cordial generous. graceful, and
unreserved hospitality. The Gazette speaks truth
and as for Mr. Kingsley il must be added that it is
refreshing to read of hts pleasant gratitude after
the late absurd performance of the writer of "A

Our correspondent with the Black Hills e1-
pedition gives an entertaining account OIL a
wild Goose" chase in search of a wonderfui
cave, which veracious Sioux guide described
TO Gen. Custer in such glowing terms as to set
the whole camp agog with eagerness to visit
and explore it. For awhile the Goose" that
discovered the cave bid fair to be as famous
as those whose cackling saved Rome, Dut

It is so much the fashion to talk OF the
West as being almost to man for intiatlon'
that the letter of our special correspondent In
Minnesota, giving the views of the people OF
that State upon the subject, and the reasons
for their being in favor of sound currency
NAV perhaps be read with some surprise. 30
far had this deluson extended before the ad-
iournment OF Congress that Senator Window
of Minnesota, though personally opposed 10
the schemes of the in1ationists for making
"money cheap" felt constrained, out OF defer
ence to what he supposed was the sentiment
of his constituents, to vote for some OF the
cOmpromise measures. He has been aston
ished since his return home to find how pub
lie opinion upon this question had been mis-
represented. There is doubtless very much
the same condition of feeling in other States.
The same demagogues vino credited the people
with the disposition to pay the debt III green
backs in 1853 have assiduously cultivated TINS
false impression concerning the popular de-
mand for initiation at the West. When the

warrant any such notion.

The Meteor.

Much talk was had about the meteor
yesterday, and ali sorts of theories ad-
vanced as to whence il came and
whittier ii went. Some were of opinion
that it separated while passing over
Nashville, two pieces Of it falling in
the streets. But this was thought by
some to be illusory. A few believed il
to be an emanatOn from the comet.
The more superstitious, however, were
inclined to the belief that the world
was coming to an end, and that the
meteror which they saw was the ball
of fire through whose agency every
thing was to be cremated.

meteor appeared just previous to the

and the Shoshone Indians, one Of the
latest being the murder aud horrible
mutilation of two white women,
DIR. Join, agent for the Shoshones,

should be punished, if possible. On
the morniI z of the 2d of July, while
Gen. Ord and myself were at Camp
Brown an opportunity presented itself,

commanding Camp Brown, was direct
ed to send Capt. Bates and Lieut..
Robinson with Company b, Second
Cavalry, accompanied by twenty In

Infantry, and about one hundred aud
fifty Shoshones, under their chief,
WOchoky, to attack camp of the
Sioux lately established on the north
side of the Owl Mountain Range,
where the Wind river breaks through,
distant about ninety miles from Camp
Brown.
The attack was made at o'clock, A.

being fifty Sioux killed and wounded,
and over one hundred horses captured.
Our loss was two men killed and Lieut.
Young and three men wounded-Lt.

result was not as satisfactory as he
desired, on account of the bad behavior
of the Shoshones.
