this moment of time:
tHEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY,
WASHINGTON, ID. c., October "a. +
General p. Fl. Sheridan, Commanding Divi-

az have received your three dispatches of
yesterday, giving an account of the killing
of Lieutenant Wier, and of the strength of
your forces at White River and Forts Garland
and Lewis All these seem strong enough, and
are well commanded. Let all preparations
proceed, and be ready the moment give the
word to pitch in. Should Agent Adams fail in
his mission, understand the civil authorities
will stand aside, and the military will take alb

settle 1t for good and all. Meantime, human

Utes, even of the White River Agency, justi-
fed this seeming waste of time.

together with the caboose, containing
seven men. The locomotive and tender,
together with one ear, passed safely
over and were saved by the
parting of the coupling as the rear cars
went tumbling down into the river,
distance of about so feet. Josiah
FWcaren and William Hyde, both stock
men from Malvern, Iowa, were taken
out of the wreck, dead. Charles Irwin
and George Barnhardt, brakemen, were
alive when rescued but died soon after

Davis were injured, but. not severely.
The seventh man, j. III. Strahan, a
stockman, saved his life by leaping from
the door of the caboose just in time to
effect lodging upon a. pier. The
crash caused by the falling bridge
soon brought hundreds of the
citizens of ST. Charles to the scene of
the disaster, and by means of boats the
injured were rescued and the bodies of
the dead recovered from the wreck. The
bridge was erected in 1871, and was con-
sidered entirely safe. The bridge proper
consisted of three spans and was nearly
1000 feet in length; together with its
approaches it was 1855 feet in length.
The spans were iron and SO elevated that

TIE steamship Champion, from New
York for Charleston, was run into by.
the British iron ship Lady Octavia,
about 40 miles northeast of Cape May,
at daybreak ON the morning of the 9TH,
and sank within five minutes. There
were 81 persons on board the Cham
pion, passengers and crew, of whom 80
were lost and but 25 saved. The sur
yivors were picked up by the Lady Oc-
tavia's boats and by Il passing bark. OF
the 16 passengers on board the Cham
pion, II were drowned, including all the
women, five in number. The Captain
was among the saved. The cause of the
disaster is unknown, rs the Captain of
