A Battle with Tnsurrectionists.

GUTHRIE, o. T., April 1S.--News
was received here at midnight last
night from Tishomingo that a battle is
raging between Governor Moseley and
two hundred insurrectionists. Six
people have been killed and eight
wounded. The trouble has existed
since the Legislature ignored the men
who claimed to have been duly elected
sheriffs of the Chickasaw Nation.
Tuesday morning Governor Moseley
issued orders to all sheriff., constables
and deputies throughout the nation to
report to him at once with arms. When
the officers gathered around the house
two hundred men rushed from adjoin-
ing houses and fierce fight followed.
Governor Moselcy and his official reti-
nue. escaped by rushing to houses on
the outskirts of the town. Moseley
has called special session of the Leg
islature to take action. Tishomingo
is in terrible state of excitement and
white people are fleeing.

THURSDAY EVENING. APRIL 1s, 1855.

THE PRESENT indications 10 respect
# the next national election are that
the democratic party will be split IN
twain by the silver question, and that
though the republicans will not agree
upon that question, still, as they
are not for principle, but fesIpsFFss party,
will repudiate the former for success
every time, they will support their par
tvs ticket to man. When 8 discou-
tented and divided army is opposed to
a united one, hungry for the few Offices
of which it has been deprived, a prophet
is not required to presage the result.
But eighteen months will elapse before
President Cleveland's successor will be
elected, and it is hoped that the indica-
tons will have changed for the better
by that time.

Jersey City, after further deliberation,
asked Supreme Court Justice Lippin-

Mrs. Vanderbilt.

LONDON, April 1S.-It is reported
that Mrs. Willie K. Vanderbilt, who
was recently divorced from her hus-
band, and Mr.. Oliver Hazard Perry
Belmont will probably be married to-
day, the ceremony taking place some
where in the envirous of London.
LONDON, April 1S.-Nothing can be
learned as to the origin of rumor that
Mrs. Alva Vanderbilt and MIR. o. 81. P.
Belmont, of New York, were to be
married secretly in London to-day, but
there is not the slightest evidence of
its truth. Mr.. Belmont left London
for Paris a week ago, and Mrs. Van
derbilt went to the Continent about
March 25th. 1t cannot be discovered
that either of them is now in London.

Cows IN DEADLY CoMBAT.-A re

Cows IN DEADLY CoMBAT.-A re,
markable fight between two cows oc-
Cured yesterday on the farm of Mrs.
Anna NJ. Deacon -Jafray, on the Mt.
Holly road, near Burlington, N. j.
The cows have always had an mex
licable hatred of each other from calf
hood up and fought at every opportun-
ity. They were evenly matched, how
ever, and the contests never resulted
seriously. Yesterday John Kemple,
superintendent of the farm, noticed
that the cows were fighting again, but
thought nothing of it, excepting, of
course, that the usual result would fol-.
low.
Sometime later Mr.. Kemple CHANGED
by the barnyard again and saw that
the animals, now thoroughly Infatuated,
were fighting harder that ever, and
that it was evidently struggle to the
death. They could not be separated.
Back and forth they surged over
the yard, neither gaining an inch to-
ward victory. Finally they unlocked
horns, and instantly the mighty bodies
clsshed together again. This was the
end. One of the animals was disem
bowled and she fell dead. The victor,
torn and bleeding herself, beloved
over her dying combatant and triumph
autly walked away.
1t was the first case on record where
two cows are known to have fought to
the death.

STRANGE Phenomenon in Italy.

ROME, Apl. 1S.-A large area of land
near Leprignamo, in the Rome district,
has subsidized about nine yards. Loud
rumblings were heard and water spout
ed from the earth at the centre of the
sunken surface. The flow was so heavy
that yesterday afternoon it had made a
lake covering fifteen acres. The water
smells of sulphur and sulphurous gas
frequently bubbles to the surface. All
the old springs in the neighborhood are
impregnated with sulphur, and the new
springs which have gushed from the
earth since the disturbances are hot
and sulphurous. Government eDgi-
neers and biologists will go to LEIPZIG
namo to examine the phenomena.

AS A bird in hand is worth q good
deal more than two in the bush, and as
the present possessor of one Office, and
one, too, the duties of which are by no
means exacting, and can be attended
to by deputies, will in no wise initiate
against the possession of another and
different one in the future, General
Fitz Lee will probably accept the one
the President has offered him, and be
the more inclined to do so as he is not
engaged in business now, and as there
will not be either senatorial or guber-
natorial election in the State for sew
eral years

cation, university edu alton. is the corner
stone Of Jeffelsonian political principles"
The problems to be solved under our system
of government to-day, said he, were such in
their complexity that the men who knew
most about them, who ponder most deeply
upon them, are often least willing to under
take to guide the people upon them, while
those who know least about them and gave
them less knowledge and less thought than
anyone else were the most conspicuous and
boldest in their attempts to lead or mislead
them. at is tie duty to day of the scholar

to the decision OF those grave and difficult
public issues all the enlightenment which he
can gather from great school of learning,
such as that whose anniversary We celebrate
tonight" In concluding, Mr. Wilson said
there were no reasons to day why any man
from Virginia or any part of the South should
not seek the highest tutorship in his country
if he would only lead along the lines Of gen.
eral public welfare and upon the great issues
that confront US to-day. Mr.. Wilson's re
marks were received with the greatest en-

true, that "cheap coat makes cheap

the tax on wool has been removed. are
cheaper than they have been for

ways been observed that wise men,
no matter how rich they may be, never
throw away money, and therefore buy
cheap coats, when they can get them, in

If JUDGED alone by the fact that a
very large amount Of whisky was con-
sumed at one of the so-called
ncold cure establishments last
year, it is naturally supposed
that the principle upon the
alleged cures of the liquor disease are
effected at such establishments, is the
cid one, that the hair of the dog is
good for his bite. There is no doubt
that that remedy is an excellent one in
acute cases of the disease referred to,

NOTWITHSTANDING the experience Of

there is no remedy for minds diseased.
