NEW YORK, August 80.-It is stated
"that the Imperialists have- forced the
army of the Republicans from the Rio
Grande, and are now occupying the
whole country, with the exception of
a small portion of -Chihuahua, in

Riotous Conduct.
CHARLESTOWN, VA., August 29.-An
incident occ#rred a few miles West of
ibis place, this morning, which, for a
while, created a good ?deal of excite?
ment. A negro-woman went out to a
field, near the residence of a neighbor?
ing gentlemans and was set upon by
" three negro men, Who severely cut and
bruised her, at the same time declar?
ing their intention to kill every person
on *he placo. They went off, leaving
the woumifl for dead, but she subse?
quently recovered herself sufficiently
to get to the%ouse and give the alarm.
Word was immediately sent to town,
and a party at once organized and
went in pursuit of the guilty parties.
They returned about sun-down, how?
ever, without accomplishing their mis?
sion, the negroes having taken the
alarm and fled. The woman, though
stabbed in three places, 1s thought to
be not seriously ?mijured.
It <k reported here to-day that a
difficulty oocurred^in a barber's shop,
in Winchester, yesterday, originating
in a question of rpriority as to "whose
.turn next, " between some negroes and
a white man, itu which five negroes
are said to have been killed. I do not
vouch for the truth of this report,
but merely "tell the tale as 'twas told
tome."-Cor. Richmond Times.
"Cease your annoyance," said an
indignant poet to his familiar, "ere I
grasp you by the band which encircles
your neck and huid you into the im?
mensity of space, where lt would guz?
zle Omniscience to find you, and Om?
nipotence to re-organize the scattered
remains of the defabricated corpus
which tabernacles your Lilliputian
soul-a million of which would rattle
in the anatomy of a pigmy, or a thou?
sand ambulate a minute in the deger
minated shell of a mustard seed."
REHTOBATIO?? OF THE SOUTHERN
STATES;-It is stated that a call for a

verse agitation of the radicals.

PRISONERS CAPTURED.-Statistics of

the war ' the Federal armies captured
over 300,000 prisoners of war, besides
paroling about 160,000 more before the
final surrender. These records are
now undergoing complete compila?
tion, and the facts developed thereby
are of much interest.
. Another extensive forgery has been
brought to light in New York. Geo.
Gladwine, whilst at the St. Nicholas]
Hotel, forged the names of two par?
ties, by which he obtained some
$3,000 in money and $200,000 in rail?
road bonds, and then decamped*. He
Was pursued and arrested' in New
Haven, Connecticut, and the bonds
recovered.
A writer in the Macon Telegraph re?
commends that the people of Georgia

tling matters.
William D. Smyth, of Atlanta, Ga.,
was. shot and wounded, mortally it is
thought, at that place on the 19th
