noff, Russian ambassador who has given init
nation as to the movements of the Russian
troops, said that he had taken note thereof.
He could respond by stating that Austria
cherished equally peaceful intentions, but it
would be for military councils to judge of the
situation created by the advance of troops
The report is current that second Caucasian

GOVERNOR 0IAEMADuKl,s DUEL.


From the St Louis Republican.
General d. NJ. Frost has been acquainted
with the deceased since the opening of the
beIliOn and gave a Republican reporter an account
of the duel between the deceased governor and
Brigadier General Walker Of Tennessee last night
At the time the duel was fought, General Frost was
in command of division under General Price be
fore Little Rock; and, as General Price was in Mem
phis at that time, General Frost was practically in
command Of all the confederate forces at Little
Rock, General Frost elates the story or the duel
i'll this manner:
both of the mon were excellent gentlemen and
there was no necessity FOR duel. Everybody knows
that Governor MarmaduEo belongs TO an excellent
fmiy. Both bore the title of brigadier general, and
Marsh Walker was connected with the best families
of Tennessee lie was related to the Knox and Polk
families ofthat state, and his own family was of
high Handing. There was some jealousy existing
between the two men on account of rank. Walker
was Mannadukcs superior in rank but in some
manner or other jealousy arose between them and
General MGtmaduke made some reference TO Gen
Cral Walker in conversation. Il was not long until
Mamandukc'S remarks were cTIied TO Walkers
ears by busy bodies, Walker demanded that Mar
maduke make n retraction, which the latter refused
TO do Walker then sent challenge to General
Marmaduke TO fight duel, and he could not do
otherwise than accept the challenge, The duel was
fought while Steele was making advances on Price
command, and our pckets were actually engaged
with tho enemy ut tie time. Pistols were the
weapons resOrted to, only one shot was fired by
each. General Marm9dukc' q bullet pierced Walker

GERMANY.

BERLIN, January 10.-Priyate dispatches
received here from Warsaw, says that the con-
spiracy to against the car had its centre in st.
Petersburg, and that it was Of unusual magni-
tude as regard both number and position of
persons implicated
BERLIN, January 14.-Tho scmi-official
statement issued from st. Petersburg tonight,
with reference to the failure of the car to
make speech at his New Year reception, says
the assertion is made that the car has not
been i'll the habit Of making any political state
ments on that occasion. This is only partly true
Both the late and present car have been wont
to make a short address of q semi-conversa-
tional character to the diplomatic circle.
Among the lists of honorS conferred the pan
slavists alone were favored The list OF deco
rations leaves the impression in Berlin and
Vienna official circles that the car is hope
lessly under command of the aggressives.
The Moscow Gazette, tonight says that on
the nineteenth day after Epiphany (Russian
style) the car will preside at grand military
fete when he will declare his policy. Tho
czar's action in choosing military tete as the
occasion on which to make this declaration has
increased the feeling Of disquiet. In the mean
time frontier movements continue to be accelc-
rated. Division after division of cavalry pours
westward into NolhYnia. Trains loaded
with artillery and munitions occupy the rail
roads, and ordinary traffic is suspended. At
kieff, Odessa and elsewhere authorities are
buying UP provisions and forage, and along the
line of Nistula, between Dcmblin and Dom
DEONt, IL ilOSl Oh IuDOIeTS JfS engaged IN con-
structing redoubts. The Warsaw police haze
issued orders that all Austrians who have not
permits TO reside in Poland must quit Russian
territory today. All Polish officers are being
removed from the frontier regiments and sent
to take commands in the interior.
On the German and Austrian sides the
movements are kept a profound secret, but it
is impossible to conceal the fact that there is
an active passage Of troops from Posen to the
Silesian frontier. The first clear exposition Of
the situation Of affairs is hoped for IRON Herr
Tisza, Hungarian prime minister, in his reply
to the Interpolation of Herr Helfy. The
temper Of majority of members of the Hun
garian parliament is ardently warlil,e
The Vienna Wehrt Xeitung, military organ,
states that Russia has force of 10O0O0 cavalry
on the frontier, so organized as to act indcpcn-
IDENTIFY of the infantry, which is ready to pene-
trate into Galica at a moments notice to i'm
pede the mobilization of Austrian troops. This
statement echoes what the war department at
Berlin has been pressing upon the attention of
the Austrian department with good effect.
The Austrian war officer is now confident that
there are sufficient forces in central Lembcrg
and in rTylcmipl and Czemowtz to arrest
Russia S advance.
