THE following has been sent anony-
mously to the Chicago papers. It's regarded

AT Leadville, Colo, on the 9th, some
assassin placed large quantity of giant
powder under the bay-window of Judge j.
L. Pendery's residence and fired it with
long fuse. The front part Of the house was

jured. No cause is assigned for the diaboli-
cal deed, and no clew has been obtained to
the perpetrators.

GENERAL HATCH says that Mana has
crossed the line into Sonora with sixty Apa-
ches, and Lieutenants Dimmick and Taylor
are on his trail. Two companies of the Ninth
Cavalry have taken the field from Fort Cum
mings, and ten more companies will scout
the Black range. The band Of Indians which
have just crossed the line are thought to be
the main force, but there are others in San
Mateo Mountain who have committed some
depredations and killed several people.
Since the campaign began troops have en-
gagged the Indians in fifteen fights. The
body Of Lieut.. Smith, who was killed near
Mill Station, fell into the hands of the In
dians and was horribly mutilated. Advices
from Fort Cummings state that a party of
seven Mexicans travelling in wagon between
tackled by the Indians and six of the party
killed. Twenty-one men in all, American
and Mexican workmen, have been killed in
and around Mule Springs. A young Amer
lean lady, the daughter of an artisan of Lake
Valley, was captured by the Indians on their
raid through that section, and is now held a
prisoner. Forty men from Lake Valley and
two companies of troops have started out to
rescue her. The greatest excitement pre-
walls in that part of the Territory. Miners
are abandoning their mines, stockmen are
leaving their ranches, and they are collect
ing at different points for self-protection.

compromise between the Government and

satisfactory to both sides.

A DISASTROUS storm occurred along
the Southern Atlantic coast on Saturday the
9th ult. Its most severe effects were felt
at Savannah, where the gale reached We
locity Of 70. miles an hour about midnight, at
which hour the signal-service office was un-
rooted and all the instruments swept away.
Hundreds of buildings in the city were par
| TALLY or wholly demolished or unroofed:
the parks were shorn Of some of their finest
trees and otherwise injured; in the ceme-
teries monuments were broken down. There
is not in the whole city ct Savannah street
or square unscarred by the frightful tenn
pest. So blockaded were the streets with
huge trees, great piles OF tin-roofng and
bricks, that vehicles could not pass, and
even pedestrians found trouble in making
their wav along the sidewalks. There
