The General through, Captain A. NJ. Ly-
brock, OF this county, proceeded 10 reply.
He proclaimed himself an o,itand-out Re-
nudiator. The Captain is acogent reasoner,
but in this effort ne donot ihinkthat he SIS
tanned bis high reputation as o t1ebater and
and as good lawyer, and failed most sig
nally to answer the argument Of General
Walker. j.
Captain Lybrock through, Colonel John
f. Penn proceeded to announce himself rs
a candidate for the Senate. The Colonel had
to speak at great disadvantage. His au-
dienee had listened patiently to three long
speeches, and as the day was far spent they
had become rather restless, and he bad
necessarily to hurry through bis remarks.
His arguments were unanswerable as he
earnestly and patriotically defended the
honor and integrity OF his State, and with
the same gallaDtry as when he gave bis limb
and bis blood for her fame and her glory.
Thus closed the discussion, both sides
seeming well pleased with their champions.

is bold and intelligent young man, and
with Repndiator in the field we shall have
lively time.
On the night OF the Gath we had heavy
frost in some parts OF this county. On the

MORE INFORMATION REGARDING THE OUT
BREAK.
WASHINGTON, October 3.-Some addi-
tional information regarding the recent In
dian outbreak was obtained at the Indian
Bureau to-day. 1t appears that in July last
Governor Pitkin telegraphed the Secretary
of the Interior that the Indians were burn
ing timber, and stated that if they We're not
Immediately stopped by the Government
the citizens of Colorado would undertake
to stop them. Secretary SchurZ immediately
directed Agent Mecker to call in the In
dians engaged in the work, and if necessary
to secure military assistance. Agent Meeker
succeeded only in temporarily stopping the
destruction of woodland, and subsequent
". in the same mouth, Il party of Utes de-
Stroyed, in the vicinity OF Middle Park, TO-
gether with tract Of timber, some
property belonging to one }. b.
Thompson. For the purpose OF arrest
ing the Indians engaged in this work,
Governor Pitkin dispatched sheriff with
A posse 10 the White River agency. Chief
Douglas. of the White River Utes, protests
against their entering the agency, which
was reported to the Indian Bureau. Agent
Meeker was then instructed TO cause the
arrest Q; the guilty parties; and, in attempt
ing 10 carry out this order, he incurred the
il-wili OF the Indians, and it is thought at
the Indian Office that the recent outbreak
was caused by the declared intention Of the
Government 10 arrest the Indians engaged
in the burning OF Thompson's property.
