THE overthrow of the lawful State Govern

that the honors of this achievement should be
thus equally divided? In the absence of the

event. Its probable that United States inter-

Of larger growth many have enjoyed her bounty
but never before has her attention been directed
in admiration OF soldierly qualities and military
discipline.
few days ago in most quiet and delicate
manner Margaret made known to Mr.. A. B.,
Griswold before the demise OF that estimable gen.
tleman, that it was her purpose to present Gen.
Augur with handsome sword as testimonial OF
her esteem for his conduct dusing the arduous
days Of trial when Packard WAS hiding in the
State House. MIR. Grisw0ld personally superin-
tended the workmanship and the result was a.
chef doguure of taste.
The scabbosrd is Of solid silver, with gilt
mountings, and the pattern Of the sword is ac--
cording to the regulations, ard it's cost was not
far from s400. With her usual modesty Margaret
secured the services Of a committee of gentlemen.

task of presenting to Gen. Augur this testimonial.
The matter was kept very quiet, and even Mar

pirate speeches were made and the brave recipient
was feicitated upon the happy event.

than the swaying to the breezs the banners Of the
grand s'Palais Royal" Our enterprising friend
Levy, who has for go many years been the popu-
lar proprietor of the dollar store, No. 1877 Canal
street, seems to have had his faith shaken in re-
publican Institutions and ideas, and is deter
mined, with enc fell swoop, to obliterate the
name of dollar store forever. He is making prep
arations for the opening of this elegant and gor-
geous establishment, and nothing will be spared
in making it the most attractive place in the
Southern country. Levy's dollar store is known
throughout the whole South, and as it has been
known for it's promptness in filing orders and
the polite attention Of the clerks, and the place to
get every hing, so will the Palais Royal grow
into popular favor, for We will see in the large
and gilded sigrs that are to adorn the building
evidences of new era, prosperity which We

Defeat,


a LONDON, Aug. 4-The Daily Ners CORE
telegraphing from Simntza, August l. gives
an account OF the retreat. He says the road
from Parrden to Bulgarieni was numbered
with broken and retreating troops wholly
destitute of order. Officers without soldiers.
soldiers without officers, all without cohesion
and mostly without arms.
At the narrow bridge near Bulgarieni there
was wild confusion and a complete block !;
tumbrils, ambulances, wagons, provision
carts filled with wounded-all were iammed
in indiscribable chaos.
There had been wounded all along the
road but the bulk Of the wounded begun lit
tie way beyond Bulgaren and extended in
unbroken line for seven miles along the road
to SistOva; they mere mostly carried in OK
carts, severer cases in arnbulances, and large
numbers tramped on foot; immense numbers
Of wounded had tramped the whole way from
tova at 6 o'clock yesterday morning. They
must have walked forty miles in twenty-four
hours wounded as they were. Nearly all of
these wounded, however, consisted Of men
who had somehow managed to walk out Of
battle
The bad cases were mostly left where they
fell. Staff officers, with whose estimate | am
inclined to agree, think the whole force lost
between 5000 and 1000 men in killed and
wounded.
A brigade of the Thirty second Division has
suffered most heavily; besides terrible loss
OF men, it sacrificed the imperial banner of
one of it's regiments.
The whole of the Thirteth Division has
been smitten very sorely. All of the three
brigades OF Prince Schachowskys command
are for q time in state of disorganization.

PARIS Aug. 4.-The Adelina Patti suit has
been decided. Both the lady and husband
filed applications for judicial separation.
Nine. Patti application was refused and her
husbands granted. The sentence states that
Nine. Patti does not even offer to bring for
ward any proofs of the facts she alleges. On
the other hand, that documents placed before
the tribunal, particularly the correspondence
addressed to Nine. Patti by a third person,
show that her conduct did the gravest injury
to her husband. The court therefore pro-
nounces against her petition for separation
of body and goods, and condemns her to pay
costs. AS divorce is unrecognized by French
law neither party can marry again.

A CITY GUARD.
Several of the military companies organ
lied during the late disturbance have deter
mined to make their organization perman ent,
and offer their services as city guard. They
will meet regularly for drill, and will put
themselves in shape to furnish the city with
q military force In few hours notice in case
OF emergency.
Several ex-military leaders of the late war
are now endeavoring to organize O company
Of cavalry, SO as to furnish the "city guard
with this arm Of the service. The city has
battery of Gatling guns, and, with men to
handle these will be prepared to deal sllmma-
rily with mobs hereafter.
THE CAPTURED LEADERS.
Ten of the leaders of the late uprising are
still confined IN jail, and the police authorities
have already preferred charges of riot against
them. The mayor and chief of police declare
they intend to deal severely with these men
and make them feel the most rigid penalty
the law infiicts for such acts. These prisoners
are closely confined, and not even members
of their families are permitted to see them.
They are very much alarmed because they do
not know to what extent they can be punished
for their offenses.
The men are all poor and really have not
means to employ counsel. They are harmless
now, and should be released on condition that
they would never again engage in another
movement of the kind just suppressed The
poor frightened men would readily accept
such condition, and woald perhaps knuckle
down to your work and devote themselves to
it hereafter. AS it is the authorities are SIM
ply making martys of these ten men.
Their treatment is looked upon as unneces-
sarily harsh, and this is creating feeling Of
sympathy for them that will give them
prominence and influence they could never
achieve by their own ability and conduct. All
the other prisoners were released, and these
ten, who made the inflammatory speeches,
have labored hard through their friends to
get bail, but failed.
