RECALLING OLD MEMORIES.
The Martial Strains OF Music From the
Seventies Regiments Band Bring Gen.
Grant to the Window.

New YORK, May 80.
At 8 o'clock this morning the Seventh Reg
iment moved from its army at Goth street and
Park street, westward through Goth street to-
ward Fifth avenue. As soon as the band had
passed Madison avenue and entered the block
in which Gen. Grants house is they began to
play stirring march music. The shades at
the Generals bow window were at the time
closely drawn, but at almost the first sound
of the music the shade on the Madison aven-
ue side was raised by the General himself
With his dressing gown about him and his
skull cap drawn on his head, he stood unsup-
ported by his cane while the regiment passed.
Mrs. Grant was at the front window.
After the affecting scenes, when the Gen.
eral had reviewed some of his old companions
in arms, he felt very much depressed, but
the advocent of some Of his old friends and
the presence of DIR. Douglass soon cheered
him up again. He suffered little less from
his throat but is still very weak. The family
were very grateful for the attentions paid the
General.
NEW YORK, May 81.
Gen. Grant passed fairly comfortable
night, although the members of the family
feared the excitement of Decoration Day
would interfere with his rest. At 2 O'Clock.
Drs. Douglass, Sands and Shrady held the
usual Sunday consultation, but found no
changes of importance in the patients condi-

won't hurt any one," and disarmed him,
standing the gun against the fence, after
which he got in the wagon to resume his
journey. Barnes regained the weapon and
taking deliberate aim, fired, killing Brown

IN THE NORTHWEST.
Gen. Strange, with Three Hundred Men,
Attacks Big Bears Band.
BArTLEFoRD, May 80, /
via Winnipeo NAV Al 4


The steamer Northwest Enrante to Pitt
came across James Grant and Charles Ros-
sitter in canoe sixty miles mp river. They
left Pitt Thursday night with dispatches for
Middleton, a fight between Gen. Strange's
forces and Big Bears band having taken
place that day. Rossiter states that Big
Bears location was discovered Wednesday.
An advance was made the following morning
but the whole Of Gen. Strange's troops had
not arrived at Pitt. He could only muster
about 800 men. A march of 10 miles down
the river and three miles inland brought the
troops to the Indian camp. The redskins
were intrenched just over the brow of hill,
and in order to reach them Gen. Strange was
obliged to cross Marshy Valley. While ad-
yancing the Indians commenced firing and
the troops were extended in diminishing or
der. For three hours and a half 9 steady fire
was kept up from both sides. The troops
had good cover from the enemy and the
field guns did good service in driving the
Indians from their quarters, but the number
killed could not be ascertained. The troops
retired in good order to Pitt. The 65th came
down the river in q scow and joined the main
body. On the inland March l3 men were
left behind to guard the provisions on board
After the fight the scow could not be found
and neither men nor scow have turned nj
since.

NEW YoRK, May 80.
The motion for new trial for James d.
Fish, convicted the ex-president of the Marine
National Bank, was heard today by Judges
Wallace, Benedict and Brown in the United

client did not know that there was anything
irregular or illegitimate being done by the
firm, and that be acted in all honesty and
fairness. The counsel contended that all the
calamity was caused BY Ward. The case is
still on. Fish was present, but did not ap-

said that the respect, love and veneration for
the constitution which animated the citizens
OF the United States before the war had nov
departed from our people, and that the sys-
TEN of government erected by our forefath-
ers existed only in name; that there were
elements OF disintegration and disruption at
work in our midst. which could only be re-
strained and held in check by force that

Speaking Of Commodore Rullock's book
which discloses the secret history of confed-
crate agents in England during the war for
