Another telegram, dated Southern agency,
August 20, was received at the interior depart.
ment yesterday from Mr.. Page, Indian agent
at the Southern agency, which corroborRtes
Mr.. Manypennys dispatch IN regard to tho
seventy-fve Southern Utes signing the treaty,
aud which also confirms the opinion ex'
pressed by tho commission, in Mr.. Many.
ponny's dispatch, that the Southern Utes will
all sign 1t.
Acting.Secretary Bell still adheres to the
opinion, expressed by him few days since
that the death of Ouray will not prevent the
ratification Of the treaty by the Southern
Utcs. The dispatches received yesterday from
Mr., Mauypeuny and Indian Agent Page
strengthen his belief In this direction aud
make him feel hopeful that the work Of the
commission will be delayed but very little by
Ouny's death.

Los PINos COL, Aug. 20, lss0-l0 a, m.
An Indian courier has just arrived from the
Southern Ute agency l2O miles in lfteen
hours, bringing the sad annOun cement Of the
death OF Chief Ouray. The whole Uto nation
are in tears, and loud lamentations I'LL tho air
from mountain to mountain, Few men Of any
race have lived to moro purpose than this
great chicfain. He has stood for several
years between the two races aud to him may
be accredited the peace of the Ute country
White men and red men everywhere will feel
that great man has gone. We can only bow
our heads and say, Thy will be done"
There is great solicitudo among all classes
here us to the future. | am oftho opinion that
the agreement will be cousummoted, though
now incomplete,
The Utes are like children without a father
aud while panic is possible among the
white population, there is more danger of q
panic among the Utes. The next tortyeight
hours will develop the situation to some sN'
tent, aud in tho meantime We eIn only await
tho issue with bated breath
Colonel Dodge, U. 5, A, is within five miles

TO COZ. NJ. L.

One night ~ | was thinking,
And my wearied eyes were blinking,
And the clock WAS tink'ing,
On the shelf above the door;
Ny thoughts returned to childhood.
Where | wandered in the wildwood,
And trailed the blushing rosebud,
And sighed they'd come no more.
And | thought OF some one sleeping,
Where the daisies now are creeping,
And the willows they are weeping,
Ger the grave along the shore
And the tears In copious forces,
OFT traced their furrowing courses
Down my cheeks with increased forces
AS thought Of lost Lenore.
Now my heated brain Is turning.
And my eyes with tears are burning,
And my heart with love 10 yearning
For to meet my lost Lenore:
Through each vein the blood now
rushes,
From the heart It's way it pushes,
And in torrents now 1t gushes,
AS ! think of thee, Lenore.
Oil Lena, when we parted,
And on Life's waves had started,
| little dreamt we'd parted,
To meet on earth no more:
But foolish man proposes,
The Great and Wise disposes,
or that which His will opposes,
Therefore I'm now content Lenore.
Bnt In my poignant sorrow,
There's q hope for that tomorrow,
That We'll meet where there's no sor-
row,
Oil Lenore. Oil Lenore.
And our wounds will all be mended.
And our sorrows all be ended,
And our joys together blended,
When We'll meet to part no more.
