A Sensational Scene in Territorial Days
The speaker's Gavel a Six Shooter.

The Rev. DR.. George q. Belts was chap
lain of the House Of Representatives Of
the Territory of Colorado in 1864, and
gave to a Nashville american reporter
the following scene which occurred in
that body during the time referred to:
1t appears that Gen. FitZ John Porter
happened to be in Colorado at that time,
and some member of the Territorial Legis-
Iature. learning of that fact, moved that
seen. Fitz John Porter be invited to leave
the Territory of Colorado on a certain day,
and if he did not leave by that time ne be
fogged until he leave the Territory"
The Speaker, who was the Hon. Jerome
Cnoyy SenatOr) Chaffee, asked if the House
was ready for the motion.
u lost a brother at one Of the battles in
Virginia through the cowardice OF Fitz
John Porter" insisted the member who
made the motion. land in the event that
my motion is not adopted want II, at

Another member arose and said that ne

ExCTTEMFNr UNABATED.
That Remarkable Experience of {
Rochester Physician Fully Authenti
Gated



Yesterday and the day before we copied
into our columns from the Rochester
IN. " Democrat and Chronicle, a re-
markable statement, made by j. B.
Henion, NJ. D., gentleman who is well
known in this city. In that article DR..
Henion recounted a wonderful experience
which befell him, and the next day we
publish from the same paper a second
article, giving an account of the Excite
ment in Rochester," caused by DR..
HeniOn's statement. 1t is doubtful if any
two articles were ever published which
caused greater cOmmOtiOn both among
professional people and laymen.
Since the publication of these two artl-
cles, having been besieged with letters of
inquiry, we sent a communication to DR..
HeniOn and also one to II. H. Warner Il
Co., asking if any additional proof could
be given TO us as to the validity of the
statements published. In answer thereto
we have received the following letters,
which add interest to the entire subject
and verify every statement hitherto
made:

GORDON IND WOLSELEY.

Another long gap In the record of General
.Gordon's fortunes has been partly filed. A
message bearing date December IA has been
received under bis seal. The garrison was still
holding out, although constantly menaccd with
attack from the Mahdi's forces. The strength
of tho rebels Is vaguely estimated by General
Gordon as ranging between 10000 and 81, 900
men. A portion of the Mahdis horde OF fan.
atical followers has evidently been conducted
by him in person to Khartoum. AN Arab
deserter reports that the rebels made several
unsuccessful assaults upon Amderman, which
lies short distance south of Khart0um, and
that the Mahdi finally withdrew his forces two
days journey to Jabbara. This account is un-
trustworthy, and as for the projected march
across the desert to DOngOla. 1t is an idle tale
that does not deserve serious consideration.
General GordOns message clearly indicates the
presence Of hostile army which has been
reinforced from Kordofan. Last April, when
the local insurrection became formidable, about
one-half of the population Of Khartoum went
over to the enemy. by promising freedom to
the blacks he formed an army and he raised
money for troops and supplies by Issuing bills,
which the merchants agreed tn take upon his
personal guarantee He waged war 80 energcti.
cally that at the end of three months the siege
was raised and he was able to make an assault
upon Berber. Since August the enemy has
again appeared with increased force and the
position of the garrison has been critical. 1t is
no longer a local insurrection, but an invasion
from Kordofan.
General Wolseley, meanwhile, has been
approaching Khartoum from the north with an
army of 1000 men. After n toilsome pass age
up the Nile from Assouan to Dongola, his force
is now concentrated ut Korti. A little more
than half the distance by the river has been
passed, and the receding waters have rendered
further progress very difficult, if not impracti-
cable The plan of action reported to have been
adopted Is mysterious. Korti lies at the base
of the great bend of the Nile and is the gateway
of o caravan road leading across the desert to
Shendy, which is distant one hundred miles
from KhartOum. From Korti the river.winds
northward to Abu Hamined. and then makes
sharp turn southwark toward Berber, Shendy
and Khartoum. General Wolselcy is repre-
sented rs dividing his forces into three bodies
One brigade, under General Earle. Is to follow
New-York tribune., 1885-01-03

the river to Abu Hammcd, md form there q
now base of supplies across the Korosco Desert
The advance guard under General Stewart is
to march ninety miles along the caravan roaa
to Gakdul and open depot of supplies. ms
Ia to be protected by the guards, the mounted
infantry returning to KOrti. The main pooy
will then march to Gakdul, and strike thehcc
across the desert to Shendy, where communi-
cations will be opened with General Earies
brigade at Abu Hammed. From Shendy there
will be little difficulty in reaching khartonm'
especially as General Gordon has steamers
which can be sent down the Nile.
General W0seley is not i'll the haDit oi
taking the press correspondents into his conn
dence. On the contrary, he sometimes dehoer-
ately msleads them for purposes or his own.
Implicit reliance is not to be placed, therefore,
on this outline of his projected operations. IL
is n very hazardous plan, and Is open 10 'ne
objection of exposing two small bodies Oh
troops to attack from treacherous tfIoes.
General Woseley, however, is famous FOR sooo
fortune, and this daring scheme may prove
completely successful. His campaign, accord
ing to General GordOn's last message VIII llot
end with his arrival at Khartoum. Inc
Mahdi's forces will be in the field and battle
will be required,
