must drive them where we want them,

EVANSVILLE, IND. November 8.-Coiner,
alias Faulkner, alias ever so-many.names,
has been captured in Frenchtown, Harri.

leading spirit Of the counterleiters Of this
district, and lived near Frenchtown in a log
house built very much like fort. It had one

coin his wif9 stood guard. Immediately

Henderson, went to Frenchtown and to
the house OF Faulkner, to whom he told
OF the raid, and said that he (Hobbs) was

him in and explained all his processes to

went to FrenchtoRn to get some EIant-
vile papers to find out the extent of the
raid. Hobbs pretended he was going for o
bottle Of whiski, aud followed him, and
lodging behind fences and trees saw him
enter store. Hobbs ran in and
presenting revolver at Faulkner's
head ordered him to throw his hand
up. The cu1s were put on and deputy

Faulkner TO bring him tho shot gun IS he

Matters In Tonquin-sIore Reinforce.
mcnIs Needed.

mcnts Needed.
PARIS, November S.-Much interest is
felt in the arrival from Tonquin Of General
Bouet, who is one Of the youngest Gener.
ais in the French army, being only forty.
five years Of age. lie explains to bis
friends that he is hero on a mission to the
home Government, and hopes to be al.
lowed to resume his com mand at atTonquin.
He states that DR.. Harmand wished him
to represent to the Ferry Cabinet the true
condition Of affairs in the far East, and the
sacrifices which continuation oi the strug,
g'e would still entail.
The truth Is that DR.. Harmand and he
have quarreled. Nevertheless, his report
will have q &, eat influence on tie question
Of peace or war. The French need more
cavalry. Whenever they gain an advan.
tage over the enemy they are unable to
pursue them, for they arc not nearly &C
rapid in their movements as the Black
Flags. General Bouet praises the country
but speaks with horror Of the inundation
which must have swept the French away
in the middle OF August had they been in
the open iiald.
He estimates the enemy at ten thousand
men, one.third being Black Flags. The
Chinese arc armed with Remington rifles
the others with weapons Of different pat
terns; but the troops are trained in tn.
German school, and are commanded by
Europeans. They are well provided witt
artillery. Both the Chinese and the Black
Flags fight we'll behind intrenchments, bu
can not stand the rush Of the French.
When the General took his departure
there were barely 5000 French troops a
Tonquin. Now there are 5000. Bu
10000 are needed. This estimate did no
make any calculation in view OF Chimes,
intervention. In such case it would bt
necessary 10 still further reinforce th.
French troops. m Fr

which is practically closed tonight, cor.

results.
One gentleman, who has watched the
progress Of afFairs with much care through
out the canvass, said: "We have not made
any boasts, nor have we scarcely expressed

that they laughed too early in the fight"

Mr.. Wht,elaw Reid was found in the
