War Department. 1t was Il letter from
Caleb Gushing To His EXcellency JEFF
ferson Davis. President of the Confed
eracy, written on March 20. 1861.
CALEB CUSHING'S LETTER.
1t introduced MIR Archibald Roanc.
who had been Il clerk in the office of
the Attorney General for seven years.
Ii commended him personally to the at
tention of Mr.. Davis. abiding TO his
scholastic Attachments and his literary
ability and worth. Roane came from
Texas. He now resigns his present
Office" wrote Mr.. Cushing, from sem
timents of devotion TO that which alone
he can feel to be his country, namely
the Confederate States, from one OF
which he was appointed. / most heart
ily commend him ~ IL gentleman and
man 10 your confidence and esteem"
Zen Butler had been taking an active
interest in Cushing's behalf lie
claimed him as a Republican. and went
so far as to say that he was the au-
thor of the fourteenth amendment and
one of the prime movers III the i'm
pcachmcnt of Andrew Johnson. In
commenting on the letter the ParSon
wondered that Mr.. Cushing had. not
hccn credited with the authorship Of
the emancipation proclamation. The
reasonable letter Just read showed
that he had better have his political
disabilities removed before a vote was
taken. The emeute paralyzed Conk-
ling and stopped the thawing process
in Edmunds. Morton greeted it with
grim smile and the next day. at Cush-
ing's request, the nomination was
Withdrawn. Brownlow's coup de main
had given it the coup de grace.
The month in which this nomination
was withdrawn was a great month for
executive sessions. It was emphasized
by the nomination of George H. Will
Jams, Of Oregon. for Chief Justice
The nomination touched Senator Sum
ner TO the quick. He characterized it
as VIGOROUSLY unfit. and made Il speech
against ii rcplete i'll chaste and fervent
oratorY. Senators who heard 1t said
that it was the most marvellous in
thought and diction that ever fell from
the lips of the Massachusetts states
man. It's effect was as great as that
of Brownlow's. To save Williams from
the humiliation OF being rejected the
nomination was Withdrawn.

NITRAL'S Mex DEFEAT
BOERs WEARING KHAKI UNIFORMS
DECOYED THE BRITISH.

LONDON, July 13.-Lord Roberts has
sent nothing further concerning the
NitraIs Mex affair. Pretoria dispatches,
however, show that the Lincolnshires lost
half Of their officers, including Col. Ro-
berts, who was wounded and taken pris-
oner.
Stragglers continue to arrive at the
camp, but few further details can be
gathered.
The British fought stubbornly until
nightfall, when the cavalry turned their
horses loose.
The Boer report of the engagement
places the British casualties at over 200.
In the Derdepoort affair, mentioned in
Lord Roberts dispatch, the men in the
front rank Of the Beers wore Khaki uni
forms and helmets, and the Dragons
passed them unsuspectingly. The mis-
take was not discovered until the Beers
opened a heavy fire, when the Dragons
were within 400 yards

CHINESE SINCERITY IS PUT TO The TEST
Cipher Message Forwarded Minister Conger Through
the Chinese Ambassador at Washington.

and had 1t translated into the official
cipher of the state department The con-
tents were not made known to Minister
WI, but in its unintelligible cipher form
it was entrusted to him to be placed in
the hands Of a messenger at the earliest
possible moment.
Mr.. WI determined to act through the
medium of an influential imperial officer
at Shanghai, who, by reason of his po-
sition, is better able than any one else
In China to execute such mission.
Beside forwarding the message to Min
lister Conger, Mr.. WI sent to the Chinese
official a detailed and urgent explana tory
telegram, in which was set forth the
imperative Importance of performing this
service for the American government.
The official was urged to spare no effort
or expense IN forwarding the message by
| courlers, runners, or any other means
into the hands of Minister Conger, and
to use like means in getting back the
| answer to the American government.
Two days have now elapsed since the
message to Mr.. Conger went forward, and
| 1t Is confidently believed that 1t Is now
| on its way from Shanghai to Peking, sur
rounded by such safeguards and such eff
torts for speed, that a reasonably early
| answer may be expected. At the same
time 1t Is remembered that 1t took ten
| days for China's official decree to get
| from Peking to Washington.
Minister WI is bending every energy to
accomplish this TEX at the earliest pos
| sible moment, for he looks upon 1t not
| only as duty, but as means by which
Chinese officials can show their sincere
desire to render every assistance to the
American government in the present
emergency.

Tuan was clearly indicated. Acting on
this edict, which is said to be undoubt-
edly genuine, Ii Hung Chang is sending
some thousands of troops to Peking, and
the other governors are probably doing
the same.
WANT THE LETTER.
SHANGHAI, Thursday, July 12.-The
foreign consuls are offering large sums for
the produation of the letter which a
Chinese merchant is said to have re-
ceived from Peking, dated June 80, say
ing the legations were demolished and
that the foreigners had been killed. The
merchant declines to show it. alleging
that he fears punishment from the Chi
nese officials
Rioting is reported to have occurred at
Ming Po, but no confirmation of the re-
ports has been received.
WORD FROM GooDNoW.
WASHINGTON. July 13.-The depart
ment of state has received a dispatch
from Consul General Goodnow, at Shang-
hal, saying that the governor of Shan
Tung wires that the Boxers and soldiers
were bombarding the legations for a final
attack, upon the 7th of July. He is ex-
tremely anxious for the safety of the
ministers and friendly Chinese In Pc
king. The consul adds that fears of
the worst are generally entertained.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-The Chinese
minister, Mr.. WI, has undertaken to get
through a cipher cable message from
Secretary Hay to United States Minister
Conger, at Picking, and to deliver back
the reply Of Minister Conger, If he be
alive. Mr.. WI forwarded the cipher dis
patch, together with an extended eX-
planatory message of his own, on
Wednesday, and the results are now be-
1ng eagerly awaited, a)th by Secretary
Hay and the Chinese minister, although
1t is appreciated that some days must
elapse before runners can carry out the
present plan of opening up communica-
tion between the American government at
Washington and the American minister
at Peking.
It was soon after Mr.. WI presented the
text of the edfct issued by the Chinese
Quested him to get through a message to
Minister Conger. Since the Chinese gov
ernment has succeeded in getting through
its own communication from Peking, Mr..
Hay felt that 1t was quite reasonable to
ask like communication be opened be-
tween our nlisister and the government
here.
Mr.. WI readily assented to this propo-
siion, and evinced an earnest desire to
use all his personal and official influence
in getting through the messages. He
suggested, however, that Mr.. Hay him
self should write the message in cipher,
as this would be proof positive to Mr..
Conger Of its genuineness, whereas any
open message to the minister might be
under the suspicion of having emanated
from the Boxers.
Mr. Hay thereupon wrote the message.

sue upon their arrival. Bulletins have
