The Lenton & Ware troupe give
their last performance in this city to-
night at Turn Verein Hall. No doubt
many who dared not encounter the
bad weather and muddy streets when
they were here before, will seize this
opportunity to attend the best enter
tainment of the kind ever given in
this city. We have before spoken of
two wonderful acrobatic feats of Mr..
Lenton and his boys, and also of the
extremely comic opera troupe. So all
we will say now is, give them a crowd
ed house and you will get much more
than the worth of the ticket. This
performance is for the benefit of the
Odd Fellows Relief Society.

TIE INDIAN CAMPAIGN.

Il was Indicated in Dispatch from
tire theatre of war some weeks ago
that there WAS probability of the
hostile Indians getting out OF the way
Of Crook and Terry, and thus ending
the campaign for tfe season. Recent
dispatches show that the troops, after
pursuing an unusually heavy trail to
point where the Indians apparently
separated-one party striking nor:h
toward the British possessions, and the
other south toward the Missouri river
turned and followed the southern
trail to the mouth of Powder river,
with the purpose of still keeping up
the pursuit as speedily as practicable
The command being short of supplies,
a portion of it will be sent over to
Fort Abraham Lincoln, Gems. Crook
and Terry both thinking 1t is too late
for an extended field Of operations, and
it is believed that the Indians on the
southern trail are moving towards the
agencies, but Gen. Terry will, It
possible, intercept them. Gen. Crook
will scout towards the Black Hills and
return via Fort Fetterman home The
campaign is therefore practically ended
and the troops are fresh for campaign
uses In the South.

The VERY WoRsT BoY IN VIRGINIA.
The worst boy Is supposed to live Ill
Richmond, Va. He directed colored
hay man to empty his two-ton load in
the hack yard of an old lady who was
deaf He claimed that the old lady
was his mother-in-law. The load OF
hay was emplied in her back yard, and
when the driver came to the front door
to ask the old lady for his pay she
looked upon him with visage like a
thunder cloud. She called him an
imposter, and accused him of imposing
upon an old and lonely female. He
showed her the load of hay in her
back yard. She told him to take it
away, and remarked that darkies were
bigger fools now than ever. The darby
worked two hours, got his load back
on his cart, and soliliquized thusly ::
''Niggers is called fools. | b'lieve dey
are in ginerl; but eff man or boy
ever catch dis hay goin out'n dis cart
before de probabilities is put down, den
dis Niger gwine' vaporate. "-Phila-

extent lessen the taxes OF the suffering

REDUCED TO AN EXTREMITY.-The

which is abundantly vouched for, Will

so speedily, will have departed:
GRAND HOTEL, Indianapolis Aug 21.
1856: Dear Sir,-I have Just finished a
tour of six counties in \ Indiana, and
feeling that any reliable information
from this State will interest you,
write. In the 6rst place the canvass is
we'll conducted. the people are enthusi-
astic and determined, and the old war
spirit thoroughly aroused; and if it
were not for one thing we could rest
certain of victory in October. There
is an independent party in this State,
confined, it is true, to a few counties,
but formidable, and it will defeat
General Harrison. There is but one
way to overcome this movement. The
leaders of the independents are poor,
needy, aud in debt; they must be
lectured to, documents be placed in
their hands, that they may be convinced
Of their folly A bloody shirt CAM
paign with money and Indiana is safe;
financial campaign and no money and
we are beaten. The National Cons
mlttee has done nothing for Indiana
alone they are fighting their battle and
bravely, but unless the National Com
mittee wakes up and does its duty to
you, to the party, and the country, defeat
is certain in October. I never in all 10y
life felt so certain l was doing my duty
as in this contest; and my desire fol
success, my dear sir, is my only excuse
for writing you. Your friend,

CHEYENNE, Wy, August 25.-The

ounces OF gold dust arrived in this city

quartz was consigned to the Pacific

gold all over The piece weighs about
twenty FIVE pounds, and is estimated
to contain a hundred dollars in gold.
This is from the Alpha mines, and
specimens of the same ore are now on

All the poles are set to Hat creek, 50

CURRENT ITEMS.

Virginia viii give larger democratic
majority this fall than she has given for
number of years Tihien. Hendricks
and Reform are household words
throughout the state.
ALL parties holding office under the
United States government are expected
to contribute portion of their salaries
in order to secure the triumph of a
party which has robbed the people.
Reform is a word hated by Radicals
1t will soon be disloyal to refer to
penitentiaries, as sensitive radicals
associate the word with the names of
the leaders of their party.
A battle between the troops and
Indians is reported to have taken place
ten or twelve days ago north of the
Black Hills, in which, after heavy losses
on both sides, the Indians broke into
small parties and dispersed over the
country with the troops in pursuit.
The Culpeper ObseyUer says: Without

will occur when they need them, and
if our readers will observe, they viii
see them only just before elections.
Hartford Tim es: No wonder the
people are poor. No wonder trade is
stagnant. Our resources have been
drained and wasted in riotous living.
Over three billions, three hundred and
six millions of dollars vanished in the
conduct of the Government for the last
ten years of peace.
We heard colored voter remark
that In presidential elections, he always
voted the republican ticket, in other
elections he voted for democrats be-
cause he knew them. II the poor COL
ored voters knew the republican leaders
well, they wonld vote the democratic
ticket all the time.
A radical paper says "give the Re-
publicans a fair chance and they will
carry four of the Southern states
What they mean by fair chance is
bayonets to keep white men from the
polls and to force negroes to vote the
radical ticket.
Radical Journals don't like the story
about that $500. which Gen. Hays
took from condemned soldiers against
his wishes. Why don't they come out
and acknowledge the truth, or show
that it is false. They have been guilty
of publishing so many talsehoods that
the people will no longer receive their
unsupported assertions.
Senator Morton, in his speech in In.
dianapolis endeavored to prove that the
expenses of the government are IS
cents per capita less than they were in
1860. If that calculation includes the
stealings of the present administration
the question is suggested, under ar
honest adtninistrati would not the
government run itself

Our Ohio contemporary processes to
be ANXIOUS to obtain from us reply in
reference to pensiening the widows Of
Southern men who We're killed during
the war. We do not hesitate to give
him truthful reply which, as his de-
mand was made publicly We hope, he
will have the honor to publish.
The statement that the people Of the
Valley hug to their bosom scheme to
secure pensions to the widows Of
Southern men killed during the war is
false. No such idea has ever been en-
tertained by our people. There are
thousands Of widows in Virginia whose
husbands died in the Confederate
service, and who scorn to pursue a
policy which the Editor of the Citizen
falsely charges We are however OF
the opinion that where honest Union
men were murdered by a Federal SOL
dier. the wives of those men are as
much entitled to pension as is the
wife of the murderer. He further says !:
THE second scheme is this: after full
confederate COMPASSIONATE and House,
is secured, the first thing on the secret
tables OF these good Union people up
the Valley is to legislate Lieut.. General
Philip Sheridan out of office. This
statement is alike without foundation
in truth, and was Matched up in the
brain of Radical politician who would
not even hesitate to try to defend the
stealings of corrupt party by state
ment that the House of Representatives
by their Investigations have discovered
absolutely nothing; and this in face
of the fact that every intelligent reader
of his paper knows that it is not true.
A party that expects to keep in power
by whitewashing the characters of
thieves has good reason to fear the
verdict OF the American people.

THE fight this fall is that of Cor

The people want corruption exposed,

The commissioners appointed by
she two great tedies of Methodism-
the Northern and Southern Churches
to remove all obstacles to formal frater-
nifty and to adjust existing difficulties
between them, have been in joint
session at Cape May for some days past
and concluded their labors last Wednes-

port to their respective general con.
6erences, the commissioners have issued
an address TO the bishops, the ministers
and the members of the Methodist
Episcopal Church and tn EN- thodist
Episcopal Church South, in which they
recite the objects Of the conference and
announce that, having given due at
tention to all questions involved in the
proper construction of a platform of
complete fraternity, they have arrived
at settlement of every matter affecting
the principles of lasting and cordial
adjustment. They state that they have
agreed upon formal declaration and
basis of fraternity, and in relation to
conflicting claims to church property
unanimously adopted series of rules
for their adjustment. They proceed at
length and with enthusiasm to illustrate
the advantages which will arise from
complete fraternity, presenting picture
Of harmony between the sections and in
the great body of Methodism which it
may well be hoped may be fully re-
allied.
