By Telegraph to the Sentinel
WASHINGTON, April 2s.-The report cir
culated yesterday that two United States
men-of-war were to be dispatched to Can
adian waters to protect American fishing
interests, is pronounced erroneous.
A member of the Cabinet said yesterday
that he thought it very probable that Mr..
Ordway, ex-Sergeant-at-Arms Of the Sen
ate, would be selected to fill the vacancy
in the Governorship Of Dakota.
There are strong indications of a boom
for Senator Window as q dark horse. He
is very popular among the Republican Con-
gressmen, and is the second choice OF the
Blaine and Sherman men, and even the
Grant leaders are warmly attached to him.

tributed by the citizens. The Committee,
of which Robert G. Patey is Chairman, will

knell, while the remains Of the Is who
persisted were driven in wagons to the

st. Louis dispatch says Two eminent
men who have been on a tour of inspec-
ton, say that half has not been told. The
James river storm began about IS miles
west Of Springfield, and gradually increas-
ed in size and power until it attained a
width of 1000 feet, for a distance Of Al
miles. 1t cut an unbroken swath from
1,500 to 1000 feet wide. Men, women and
children were killed or crippled, and
horses, cattle, sheep, etc., we're in a similar
condition; dwellings, fences and outhouses
were not only leveled, but blown away
plows, wagons, reapers and other farming
implements are reduced to scrap-iron and
kindling- wood, and in many cases fields
with growing crops are so covered with
forest debris, or with mud and sand, that
much additional labor will be required to
save what has been planted. No houses or
barns we're left standing in the track of the
storm, and farmers are left without houses
or implements to carry on their farms.
West Point Academy.
NEW YORK, April 2s.-A Tribune Wash
ington special says: General Sherman.
speaking Of the West Point Academy, says:
1.-THE West Point Academy is the creature
Of Congress. In my opinion there is NO
place where the prejudice Of color is less
regarded than in the army. When Hyper
graduated both Secretaries of War and my
self shock hands with him and congratu-
lated him. Hyper is doing well, / am glad
to say, and is respected by every officer in
the army. The newspapers are responsible
for all the clamor about West Point. The
heads Of the Academy are Northern men.
There is less hazing at West Point than at
any private institution"
