The Copper Camp.

THIS camp Is located about eigh miles
below Custer on the Sidney road and is
easy OF access. The first location was
made by f.. ~. Overland sometime last
winier but it, value remained unknown
until May, when Mr.. Woodbury. at the
solicitation OF Mr.. Okeriand, paid a visit
to the mine aud ended by sending some
Of the rock TO Chirpgo for an as. "A y
which gave a return OF - per cent in
copper with some gol | and silver. From
that time until a few weeks ago. during
which MIR. Woodbury. was ia the east.
no excitement was created. For the
past four weeks, however, the camp has
been visited by many who have made
locations and the country is now staked
for a distance OF at least ten miles
and III all locations where work has
been lone the same character of ore i,
found. We last week visited the district
and found the Pcmbina, owned by T.. G.
Overland and Woodbury., having on -
ridge about 100 feet higher than the
road, and in "A granite formation, bat
the top Vi the ridge is covered with the
iioat from the lead and the work so far
done would lead one 10 believe that il
was a mountain Of ore. The Pcmbina
now mas an opcn-cut and Il tunnel in
some thirty feet, all in ore. The second
extension south is owned by Mr.. Frank
lin and company and has a shaft down
about II feet, which discloses the same
character of ore. This is also the ease
in the third extension south. At pre-
sent about eight men are ut work i'm the
district on as many locations. We have
specimens on exhibition from the dis
trict which shows native copper and
wha' is supposed to be hotn silver, and
the probabilities . are that before
winter sets in one or more of the lora-
tons will lie IN the hands OF eastern
capitalists.

SWINE DISEASE.
An Important Note 70 the British I.eSa.
fieB On the Subject.

The Secretary of State YESTERDAY adj
dressed note to the British legation in Washing
toll the subject OF the false reports sent by the
acting British consul at Philadelphia in regard to
the prevalence of disease among the swine of the
Western States The Secretary reiterates the state
ments made in Mr.. Evarts' note of the eth OF
March that all the means of information at the re-
course of the Department concur in showing the
late published report as wholly without founda-
ton, and sends copies of the resolutions of the
Merchants Exchange of St Louis and of the
Chamber of Commerce of Cincinnati, explicitly
denying the reports of disease among swine and
showing that the condition of the stock in the
States of Ohio and Illinois is exceptionally healthy.
The statement of Mr.. Crump in regard TO the
prevalence of disease in Ohio is cmphstically and
fully denied. The Secretary of State sent
also the substance of q communication
received from the Secretary OF the Treasury con-
veying an explicit denial of the report published
in England and asking that the character and
source of the information on which Mr.. Crump's
dispatch was based be ascertained In answer to
the British Minister'S statement that the consul at
Philadelphia made his report upon what appeared
10 be good authority, the Secretary of State saws
that all this Government can learn after searching
inquiry leads irresstibly to theconcusion that the
good faith of Her Majestys representative Phila-
delphia has been imposed upon by designing
spectators 20 their own selfish interests and the
incalculsble injury oflegitmate commerce. The
Secretary further expresses his trust that The
British Minister will concur with him in the
opinion that no steps can be too urgent or too i'm
peTatiye t. overtake and contradict this false
statement, and that this Government confidently
looks to Her Majesty's legation Tor an suthoIita-
tive denial

an afsault on William Buckley in November last
OH l street. between Seventh and Eighth streets
| northwest was called for hearing. it having been
postponed from the day previous Mr. A. B. VIII
Jams, counsel for Mr.. Black asked the court for
continuance on the ground of the absence of
an important witness, Mrs. Buckley In
an affidavit flied by him is set
forth the statement that he expects
to prove by Mrs. Buckley that nothing of an i'm
proper character occurred between the defendant
and herself, and that the assault was commenced
by her husband. The attorney also stated that
Mrs. Buckley had expressed her willingness to ap-
pear and give hertestimony, but that at the present
time she was absent in Baltimore. The case was
set down for trial on Tuesday next This is a
criminal proceeding growing out of domestic
troubles, which have also found their way into
the Equity Court in the shape of divorce suit
Mr. Buckley, it seems, doubted the fidelity of his
wife, anI in his bill for divorce alleges that he
watched her on one occasion when she returned
home at night accompanied by Mr.. Black; that
improper conduct took place between them and
in his efforts to eject Mr. Black from the house the
assault was made. The wife, in answering the
BILL denies emphatically the charge made against
her. In the Police Cont Mr.. Black was adjudged
guilty Of assault, and appealed his case to the
