Graphic Account of His Latest
Explorations.
THIRTY THREE BATTLES
WITH SAvAGES.

SANKEY'S letters are dated Embetiou,
Congo river, August 10. After a ter
rible journey through. the heart of the
African continent, Stanley and his fol-
lowers pushed across the country to
the Sualaba, and thence along the left
bank of the river, passing through
Northeast Uskusa. He vas opposed
at every step by hostile cannibals,
who filled the woods and poured
flights of poisoned arrows IN his party,
killing and fatally wounding many Of
his men. From every tree and rock
the missiles winged their course, and
the heavily laden bearers fell dead I'M
der their loads. There was no cessa-
ton of fighting day or night. All ef-
forts to appease the savages was una
vailing. They would listen to no
o~vertures, disregarded signals of
friendship and refused gifts. There
was only one way to escape, unless
Stanley accepted the alternative of re-
turning to Nyagwo and abandoning
the work he had undertaken, and this
was to use canoes with the Lady
Alice. As a last reliance, and with
good canoes for the party, Stanley con-
cluded he would advance with a bet
ter prospect of success. lie found
each days advance n repetition of the
previous days struggle. 1t was des
perate fighting throughout. While
pushing down the river he was inter
rupted by y series of cataracts just
north and south OF the equator, and in
order to pass these he had to cut his
way through thirteen miles of dense
forest and drag his Is canoes and the
Lady Alice overland. Three days
later he came to the country of a pow
erful tribe whose warriors were armed
with muskets. No one did they
discover Stanley's approach than they
manned "a large caHOes and put of
from the river bank to attack him.
He offered peace gifts, but the savages
refused to be reconciled, and the fight
went OH for twelve miles down the
river. 1t was maintained by SANKEY'S
followers with great courage and was
the last save one of thirty-two battles
since the expedition had left Nyaugwo.
The explorer writes: ~ made the
ex petition from Bona by steamer to
Calinda and proceeded thence to st.
Paul De- candi."
Dedication of the Boston MOnu-
ment to the Union Dead-Grand
Demonstration Of the People.
Boston, Sept. IL.
The dedication of the monument to-
day, to the memory of the soldiers who
fell during the rebellion, is the occasion
for a general holiday, and one of the
largest professions this city has ever
witnessed. The large tiers of seats
erected for the accommodation of fam
lilies and friends of the City Govern
ment at Blackstone, fell shortly after
noon, and hundreds OF people went
down in the ruins. AS far as learned,
but seven persons were injured, re-
ceiving fractures of limbs, etc. 1t took
three hours and twenty minutes for
the procession, this evening, to pass a
given point upon State street, where it
was moving without stops. Boston
has never before seen such large and
enthusiastic crowds. The distinguished
men in the line were everywhere
greeted heartily, and none received
such a perfect ovation as did Generals
Mcclellan and Hooker. At 7:15 the
hands opened the exercises with
Kelley's American Hymn. At the
conclusion of the prayer, sculptor Mar
tin MilmOre, in q neat speech, delivered
the monument to Alderman ThOmp-
son, who received the monument and
ordered it to be dedicated, giving his

ment to the city. Mayor Prince, on
behalf of the city, accepted the monu-
ment. At the close Of his speech the

WAsHINGToN, Sept. II.
Senator Ransom, Of North Carolina,

i R~anization of the United States Senate
at the October session, by an alliance
with the Southern Republican Senat-
ors, Spencer, Dorsey, Patterson and
Conover, who are alleged TO be dissat-

thinks the Democratic party would
lose more than 1t would gain by such
q movement, even ii the Senators
would care to relinquish the Commit
tee Craftsmanship, which each one
now holds.
The Supreme Court opens the Oct
ober session on the eighth proximo.
Its docket is nearly three years behind
and the accumulation of business is
increasing. Prominent members of
