Old Storey calls Medill a liar and Medill calls Story a mendacious scoundrel, which shows that they are getting well acquainted with cach other. THE President declines to rusticate at "White Surphur Springs, Va. This bw been the placo where, for half a "century, political schemes hare been talked over and plans laid by leadiug Democrats. It was the trysting place Of the conspirators who organized the fdticUion. -BAYARD TAYI.on has boen tendered and has accepted the mission to Rus sia, So for as we can judge, this is a good appointment. He is already Well known in the literary circles of Europe, has traveled much upon the Qontinent, and was at one time acting Charge de'Affairs at St. Petersburg. The Iowa City Republican says a genlleman who delivered a number of speeches before the Tilden and Hendricks club of that place, says ho regards the defeat of Tilden as the best thing that could hare happened for the country as he is satisfied that (Tilden) is one of the most corrupt public men in the country. The President has issued a procla mation commanding the strikers at Martinsburg to disperse,, and to aid them in dispersing, he has sent a por tion of the United States army to the sacred soil of West Virginia, at the request of both Governor Mathews, of that state and and President Gar rett, of the Baltimore & Ohio rail road, whose strikers against a reduc tion in their wages has caused the trouble. A wild rumor got out the other 4*7- that Old Ben. Wade had weak ened and giren in his adhesion to the Southern policy, whereupon the policy papers, which had been abus ing, set to praising him, "as sturdy, honest, brave old Ben. Wade." And now comes B. W. and pronounces the story false, whereupon the policy pa pers say that the opinion of a Wash ington, North Pacific Railroad Lob byist dont amount to much anyway. »r. Ed. It. Mason, of Pes Moines, Clerk of the I'nited States Court, is out in the Register with a Ion defence of Judge Dillon. The latter has been charged in certain quarters with im proper favoritism in the matter of appointing a licceiver, and other things connected with the Central Railroad of Iowa. We think Mr. Mason is super «ervicealle in this effort, and don't believe that anyone, whose opinions are worth a rush, will believe for a moment that Judge John F. Dilion is capable of doing an unworthy act, either personal or judicial. 9?IIE first of the coming Fall State elections, will be that in Kentucky, August. (!Mi. There will be three state elections in September—that, of Ver mont on the (tli, that of California on the iitli, and that of Maine on the 10th. Iowa and Ohio will hold their state elections on October 8th. On No vember Oth the 'states of Massachu setts, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia and Wisconsin will hold their elections. In the States of California, Iowa, Ohio and Kentucky Legislatures will be chosen which will elect United States Senators to succeed those whose terms will ex pire March 4,1870. THE CROPS The wheat crop ot Wapellocounty is the best in quality that wc have had for many years. It is now nearly All in the shock, and we are thus as sured of excellent Hour for the year to come. We have heard many mil* lers and farmers estimate that the •crop of wheat is ample to bread the people of this county. Last year we had comparatively no wheat crop lit all, and this difference in our favor this year is a big thing. For six months last past, the county has been drained of a vast sum of money, run ning up into the hundreds of thou sands of dollars, to buy breadstuff's from abroad. The corn crop may not bo quite as heavy as it was last year, but yet it is coming out much bettor than was expected three weeks ago, and there will be thousands of acres of the very best of corn. The grass crop is full as heavy as last year, and A great deal better in quality. Last year ihe rain continued through har vest, and the grass never hardened tip, but was cut and cured in the rain, and was, therefore, in quality, ex tremely poor. So poor was the bay last year that hundreds of horses were seriously injured by eating it. This year the hay crop Is immense in quantity and excellent in quality. The oat crop is fair, and well cured, and Is a great improvement over last year. The potato crop bids fair to be excellent. It is only iu fruit alone, that we are far behind last year. Taking all iu all, wo estimate the crop of this year to be considerably better than that of last year in this coanty. The Iowa City Hepublican has this to say in regard to the expense of useless litigation. Johnson county is not the only county in Iowa that is made to suffer in that way: Much indignation is felt through out the county, and indeed over the whole State, over the great expense saddled upon the counties by the nu merous trivial and malicious lawsuits brought iuto the courts by pecuniar! ly irresponsible parties. The time of the court* and court officers and ju rors is often takcu up for days to gethcr over some suit in which less than a score of dollars are at stake. Generally the jury disagree, the case goes over to the next term and the county bears the expense. An exam ination of the docket for the June term of the district court reveals the fi»ct that there were Wt criminal and elvil cases, of which LoGraud Dying ton had 20. The people of this coun ty have been taxed thousands of dol lars for litigation in which that gen tleman was interested, and in several instances suits have been brought by him with the evident purpose of bar massing persons for whom he has foriued a dislike, and not with a view of seeking redress for any wrongs he may have sustained at their hands. We have no feelings against Mr. lty iagton and if lie has any wrongs to fight in our courts of justice we do Wt wish to »ee him suiter my in jus tice because of the prejudice tlmt ex ist* against him, but we do protost inst the payment of hundreds of dollars annually from tlio county treasury to meet the costs iu frivolous •nits brought by him at overy term of court. 'HI RAILROAD STRIKES It is great folly, and is totally Wrong for laborers, when they cannot Agree as to the price of their labor With their employers, to attempt to Aeny to other laborers tho privilege taking their places. To refuse to Slbor themselves at reduced rates t* their right, and it may be •I*. that justice is on their side thus far. but they throw away all right they have when they riotously endeavor to prevent other people from doing tho work tliey have abandoned. Hence it is impossible for such strikes as are now in progress on the rail roads East, to succeed.' There is an other thought connected with this railroad war, and that is this Sup posing that in West Virginia a few hundred men had leagued together and assembled in various places to prevent poaceable and fair elections, or to overthrow the enforcement of law, or to murder defenceless and un armed prisoners, and all this was in tho interest of tho Democratic party of the South. The question, in view of the history of the last few months, very naturally arises whether Gov. Matthews would have called for U. S. troops, or whether the President would have found constitutional au thority to have responded on his own motion at once and without a Cabi net council, and even then, whether he would have responded at all. It is utteily impossible for an intelli gedt citizen to not have these matters arise in his mind at this juncture. We know that many good people will claim that there has not been, in the past, few months, anything South to compare with the present outbreak nothing analagous in its relations to the general Government. Our judg ment and knowledge of human rights and constitutional law are totally at variance with this view. We believe that the just demand for Federal in terference in tho far South in the few months past, has been a huudrcd fold more imperative, judging from the character of the wrongs to be sup pressed, than is the present demand for troops. STATE TEMPERANCE CONVEN TION. Judge If. W. Maxwell, Chairman of the State Temperance Committee, has issued a call for a State Temper ance Convention to ho held at Grin nell, August, 22d. The call and his accompanying let ter In the Register of the ISth instant, attempting to justify that call, are too lengthy tor our columns to-day, in the present disorganized state of our office. It will be remembered that the ro recent Temperance Stjitc Convention appointed acommittee of observation with authority to call a State Conven tion, if the then approaching llepub lican State Convention failed in nom inating just such a ticket as in every-' respect might meet with the approval of this committee. 1 ho nomination of John II. Gear has, in the opinion of Judge Maxwell, raised that contingency hence the call. We believe the Republican ticket is entirely satisfactory to the Maxwell party oxcept as to Gear, and wo infer from Maxwell's letter to the Register that the Convention may not even displace Mr. Gear from the tick et In tho mean time a ticket and a platform which meets with tho ap proval of such temperance people as Gen. Weaver, and such tcinperancc journalists, as the Clarksons of the Register, Kussell of the Davenport Gazette and Maliin, of the Muscatine Journal, ought to be, and will be sat isfactory to a great majority of tho temperate temperance people. TIIF. New York Hit it and its kidney of papers arc making an unnecessary ado about the discovery of tlio fact that two paid and cancelled checks for live thousand dollars each, have been found among the old papers of the Ohio Stale Central Committee, with the endorsement of R. B. Hayes on their back. It seems that Zacli Chandler, Chairman of the Republi can National Committee, collected this money from various contributors and sent the checks direct to Hayes for legitimate expenditures iu Ohio during tho presidential campaign, and that as the checks were—for some as yet unexplained reason—made payable to Hayes order direct, it was necessary for the latter to endorse them over to Gen. Wikotf, Chairman of the Ohio State Central Committee, which was done, and the money leg itimately expended in paying speak ers ljke Schurz lor canvassing the State, and the thousand and one other items of necessary expense rendered absolutely indispensable iu all cam paigns fought with a will to succeed. The purpose of this ado, is to make Schurz and the President ridiculous, because they have recently issued an order prohibiting officials from med dling in political campaigns, and es pecially forbidding assessments on office-holders for political purposes, it. being assumed by these critics and fault-tinders that a largo portion of these ten thousand dollars was col ectled arbitrarily from office-holders for political purposes. Now we happen to know something about these political assessments, hav ing been frequently their subject,and as frequently have promptly respond ed in aiding the cause of the party iu proportion to our ability, and the character of the salary being received. No party, any more than a church, can, in the nature of things, be self supporting. Speakers are to pay. Hails are to hire. Livery teams to get out tho vote are necessary. Post ers are to bo printed. Torches, ban ners, etc., arc not furnished gratuit ously. Cannon, powder, etc., cost money. Documents, speeches, &c., are an important and necessary item of expenditure to enlighten tho peo ple, and impecunious country job offices cannot furnish their time, labor, paper and ink for nothing. All these expenditures and many others which will readily suggest thcmsolves to the mind of a fair and reasonable man, mnst be met if the party desires to succeed. Therefore county, State and National Commit teemen naturally presuming that men enjoying tho patronage of the party would like to contribnto to maintain that party, are iu the habit of sending theso officials notices requesting tliom to contribute in proportion to the emoluments of their offices. And we have never yet known of a case where an olltccr did not regard tho invita tion to contribute a pleasant duty, except it might have been on the part of an unworthy whelp, who probably got Into office without merit, who, when a boy, crawled under the tent into the circus, and, who, when he comes to die, will likoljr slip by Saint Peter without a ticket. If the party is right, it is just as right and necessary to contribute to its maintenance, as it is for the mem bers of the churches to contribute to pay preachers, run their churches, and meet tho other necessary expen ditures of their organizations. All this stuff about enforced politi cal and official assessments is tho bald est sort of deinagoguery. Wc don't believe that ono single bflicer has been removed during the entire Re publican domination for a failure to contribute towards tho running ex penses of the party, and wo do not believe that there has been a man in office who was fit or worthy for his place, who has not contributed freely his share towards maintaining the pure political gospel. Henco the assaults of the Sun, and tho defense of the President by tho Chicago Tribune, arc gratuitous, be cause there is nothing in the matter justifying abuse or requiring defense, when looked at from a reasonable and common sense standpoint. THE SILVER DOLLAR NOT A LE GAL TENDER. The coinage act of 187 did not de stroy the legal-tender character of the standard silver dollar, so far as it had been coined and was in existence, but dropped that coin out of our l\t» lure mintage, and thus indirectly provided for its extinction as money. Still, under that act, it would have been competent for tho Secretary of the Treasury, in calling bonds for payment, to employ all the silver dol lars he had on hand toward the dis charge of principal and interest. The act had limited the legal-tender ca pacity only of the enumerated silver coins, by providing that "saicl coins shall be a legal tender at their nomi nal value for any amount not exceed ing five dollars in any ono payment." As the old silver dollar was not one of "said coins."' it was not included in the legal-tender restriction. Subsequent legislation, however, has altered the fifteenth section of the act of Feb. 12. 1873, in two important particulars. That section left tho trade dollar a legal tender to the ex tent of fire dollars in any one pay ment but the subsidiary coin act of July Pi, 1S70, provided "that the trade dollar shall not hereafter be a legal tender." Further, when the Revised Statutes of the United States were adopted by Congress as a code of laws, the provision* of the coinage act of lS73had been so restated a* to work the destruction of the legal tender character of the old silver dol lar in payments above five dollars. Here are the various provisions as they stand in the revised statutes SEC. 3,513. The silver coins of the I'nited States shall be a trade dollar a half dollar, or fifty cent piece a quarter-dollar, or twenty-live cent piece a dime, or ten cent piece the weight of the trade dollar shall be 120 grains troy the weight of the half-dollar shall be twelve grams and one-half gram (equal to 102 grains) the quarter-dollar and the dime shall lie respectively one-half and one-fifth of the weight of the half-dollar. SKC. 3,/Slfi. No coins either of gold, silver, or minor coinage shall here after be issued from the mint other than of the denominations, standard, and weights set forth in this title. SKC. The silver coins of the United Slates shall he a legal tender at their nominal value for any amount not exceeding five dollars in any one payment. This last section has degraded the old silver dollar to a level with the subsidiary silver coins, and is equiv alent to a new act, carrying demone tization to a greater" extreme than was contemplated by the act of 187:!. It is certainly strange that such a change should have been made. Au thority to make it was not conferred by the* legislation which provided for the codification of the laws. The object was to compile into a consis tent and useful whole all act3 or parts of acts in force new legislation was no part of the plan. Congress accepted the work done in commit tee room on assurances of its legiii inflte character. No suspicion of al terations of meaning seems to have been excited at the time, but various changes have since been discovered. From first to last this silver busi necs has been one long enigma, be sides being a great blunder to say the very least. Fortunately it is not too late to retrace our steps and to reme dy the wrong. Public opinion in fa vor of the renioncti/ation of silver is becoming stronger and stronger from week to week. Kvcn in the East opposition is weakening. A short bill passed by the next Con gress restoring the old silver dollar would settle the whole controversy. It is certain that such a bill will be introduced at the coming session, and that it will receive a powerful support. If the general voice of the people is heeded it will become a law.— Inter-Orean. A Nevada Court. D. C. McK enney, District Judge of the Fifth District, comprising the counties of Lander, Nye and Church ill, will shortly take his departure for Stillwater, the county seat of Churchill county. The following are the ceremonies incident to a term of court, in Churchill county: The Judge arrives at the county soat, puts up his team and send* an Indian run ner in search of the Sheriff ami Coun ty Clerk. The Sheriff and Clerk ar rive, and the Sheriff, standing up in his stirrups, proclaims: "Hear ye, hear ye. hear ye, the District Court of the Fifth Judicial District in and for Churchill County, is now open." Then the Judge hitches up his team, gets into his buggy and says: "Mr. Clerk, this court stands adjourned for the term." Then the Sheriff and Clerk and Indian sit down in the sage brush and play Indian poker, and the Judge bids them a pleasant good bye and drives off.—Amtin. Reveille. A gold mine on the roof of a build ing is certainly a novelty but, it ap pears, a small one has been found on the top of a mint at Philadelphia. The Director ordered that the dirt de posited on the roof of the mint should be collected and tested in the usual way 17:12 pounds of dirt was re moved, which yielded 42 ounces of standard gold and 9G1.. ounces of standard silver, the total value of which was $8."0. From this it will be understood, of course, that the line particles of gold and silver which e— cape with the smoke of the mint fur liaees have been lodged from time to time on the roof. It seems that twen ty-five years ajro the Assayer of the Mint submitted the dirt of the roof to a like process, and that he obtained ono ounce of standard gold to every thousand and eight-tenths ounces of dirt. Would it not be profitable for the residents of the neighboring houses to try the dirt on their roofs? The sweepings on the floors of the mint, tho wood-work,"and the leather gloves of tho workmen, arc periodi callv reduced to analysis for tho par ticles of gold they contain. So far this year 200 barrels of this refuse have been sold, tho greater part to a London firm. Tho price averages from fifteen to twenty-live cents pound. Tho Inter-Ocean says: "The recent murder of Mr. Pleasant Stanley in Greensburg,' lud., is said to bear in many of its details a strong resem blance to the celebrated Nathan mur der in New York City, in regard to which so many and widely different theories were advanced. The sum of 1800 in the possession of tho old man seems to have furnished a clue to tho motive for the murder, and suspicion strongly points to tho sou-in-law Thomas Applegate, as tho murderer, though up to the present time the threads of mystery are still woven about tho crime, and there is but lit tie likelihood of their being disen tangled. That the man was murder ed in the most brutal manner, that the instrument used—an ax—was care fully wiped and put away, the rob bery committed, and all the while his daughter and her husband were iu an adjacent room only separated by a thin board partition, seems almost incredible. Theories are now in or der by those who study the peculiar phases of crime, for as yet the subject is shrouded in impenetrable mys tery."

IIEDRICK & CO., PROPRIETORS. OTTUMWA, WAPELLO COUNTY, IOWA, JULY 25, 1877. THE STlllKE. On Tlio Baltimore AOhlo Rail road. Proclamation by the President Commanding the IVnce. Three Companies of United States Troop* Dispatched to the Scene. The Strikers in Quiet but Deter mined Possession of the Company's Property. Their Conduct Defiant, and the Outlook Sanguinary. BM.-rnroKic, July 13.—The strikers at Martinsburg are increasing rapid ly, numbering over fiOO men. Scouts just in report a mob of 100 to "00 men between Williamsport crossing and Stile House. Bloody work is expect ed to-morrow. The troops are mov ing along slowiy and carefully, and are now near Washington Junction. At the sand house, a short distance west of Mortinsburg, the strikers have fortified themselves, and are over 450 strong. AT WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, July 18.—This after noon the President received from Gov, Matthews, of AVest Virginia, a telegram dated at Wheeling, stating that the strikers on the Baltimore & Ohio Road had become so riotous that he was unable to quell the dis turbance with the force at his com mand, and requesting that United States troops be placed at his disposal to put down the mob. Upon receipt of the telegram the President sent for Secretary McCrary, who immediately repaired to the White House. After a short discussion it was decided that upon the information contained, the calling out of United States troops would not be instilled under the law. The President desired Secretary Mc Crary to telegraph to Gov. .Matthew* for more explicit information. Sec retary McCrary received such supple mentary information from Governor Matthews that, iu his and the Presi dent's opinion, warranted the sending of troops to tho scene of the riot. Consequently, at a late hour this aft ernoon an order was issued from the War Department directing troops to be sent immediately to Gov. Mat thew's assistance. The troops ordered to Martinsburg are the Second Artil lery, consisting of twelve officers and 200 men from the Washington Arsen al, and eight officers and 112 men from Fort Mcllenry, and aro under the command of Gen. French. They will leave immediately, and Gen. French is ordered on his arrival at Martinsburg to report to Col. Dela plain, aide to Gov. Matthews. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 18.—The President has issued the following proclamation: WIUCUPAS, It is provided in the Constitution of tho United States that the I'nited States shall protect every state in this Union on application of the Legislature, or of tho Executive (when tho Legislature cannot be con vened) agaiuSt domestic violence and WIIEUKAS, The Governor of the State of West Virginia has represent ed that domestic violence exists in said state at Martinsburg and at various other points along the line of the Baltimore & Ohio Hailroad in said state, which the authorities of said state are unable to suppress and Wiii:i:i: \s, The laws of the I'nited States require that iu all cases of in surrection in any state, or of obstruc tion to the laws thereof, whenever it maybe necessary in the judgment of tho President, ho shall forthwith, by proclamation, command such insurg ents to disperse and retire peacefully so their respective abodes within a imited time. Nov, therefore, I, Kutherford B. Ha ves, President of the I'nited States io hereby admonish all good citizens of tho I'nited States, and all persons within the territory and jurisdiction of the United States, against aiding, ountenanciiig abetting or taking part in such unlawful proceedings, *nd I'do hereby warn all persons en gaged in, or connected with, said domestic violence and obstruction of laws, to disperse and retire peaceably to their respective abodes on or be fore 12 o'clock noon of the 10th day of July, instant. By tho President, R. B. HAYES. F. A. SKWAUP, Acting Secretary of State. GROWING SERIOUS. WHEJCUXG, W. Va., July 18.—It is reported that the miiitia have been ordered home from Martinsburg and United States troops called for, "out no authentic information can bo had. The strikas along the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad are growing more se rious. Strikes are also expected to take place on tho Central Ohio and Chicago Divisions. ANOTHER STORY of yesterday's shooting af&ir at Mar tinsburg says tho militia company deployed on both sides of tho train about starling. One of the strikers, William Vanndergrifl, seized a switch ball to run tho train on a side track. John Poisal, one of the militia, jump ed from the engine ami attempted to replace the switch. Vandergrill'tired two shots nt l'oisal, one causing a light tiesli wound, l'oisal returned the tire, shooting Vandergritf thro' the hip. Several other shots were tired at Vandergriff, striking him in the head and arms. When the tiring was heard a large crowd of railroaders and citizens collected, and the feeling became intense. The volunteering engineer and fireman of the train ran off as soon as the shooting began. Capt. Fnulknor then made the state ment that he had performed his duty, and if tho train men deserted their posts he could do nothing more. The militia company was, therefore, marched to the armorv and disband ed. IN PROCESSION. HjUiTmonE, lid., July 18.—The strikers liave control of the Baltimore & Oh io Kailroad, and have stopped freight trains at Keyset*, Grafton. Martinsburg, and Wheeling. The Matthews Light Guard have arrived at Martinsburg, and their officers are in consultation with the State author ities. Gov. Matthews only came as far as Cumberland, when ho returned to Wheeling. Tho ringleaders of the strikers at Grafton, who made au attack upon the non-striking firemen, hare been arrested. Vandergriff, shot during the attack upon the soldiers at Martinsburg yes terday, has had an arm amputated. At Martinsburg to-day the strikers went into the work shops and order ed tho men to stop work. They re fused, and tho strikers retired. Till". TROOPS. BALTIMORE, July 18.—Batteries II and L, and a detachment of Light Battery A, Second Artillery, United States army, armed as infantry, left here this evening for Martinsburg. WASHINGTON, I. C., July. IS.—Si\ companies of United States artillery, acting as infantry, left here for Mar tinsburg to-night. THE TROOPS AT TIIR FRONT. MARTINSBUBO, July 10.—The train with tho troops arrived at (5 ::J0, this morning, and bivouacked in the llouiul House. Most of the strikers are outside of the wostern limits of the corporation. At noon the pro clamatiou of President Ilayes, com mandin^ them to disperse, will be is 1 O I S E S E have not dispersed, the troops under my command will proceed to enforce the order of the President." At present everything is quiet, and it is doubtful whether anything more than a demonstration will bo requir ed. Whatever action is taken will be after consultation and. with the full concurrence bf Col. DeTjaplaino, aide to the Governor. FIRST TRAIN MOVN. MARTixsnvnci, July 19.—Lieut. Ke os, with a detachment of battery F. 4th artillery, cleared the track and the lirst train westward moved. A coal train for the cast left this after noon. As it moved off several of the strikers occupied the hill alongside the track the military presented arms, and there were no tlemonstra tions made. Lngine I2 with a train of homo cars, is just moving out, and all is quiet. The citfctwaril train in took a detachment of ten men under Lieut. (•wis, and 12'! took ten men. The troops on the eastward bound train will go as far as Harper's Fer ry and on the westward bound train the troops will go as far as Keyset-. It thought that the departure of these trains will break tho back of the strike. Warrants have been is- sued for the ringleaders. arrest ot ten of Iho MAHTIN'SUVISO, July I:.—The west ern bound train passed St. Johns all right and no further trouble antic ipated from it. There are now lying here 7 locomotives, nearly nil oi' which have their fires banked so that they may be ready to start after a few minutes notice. The streets are near ly descried and most of the military gone to their quarters. No trouble expected to-night. Probably by noon to-morrow there will bo found plen ty of men to move all trains. BALTIMORE, July 10.— Midnight— Officials at Camden station furnish the following The eastward bound freight train which left Martinsburg this afternoon arrived at Baltimore at 11 :!5 without accident or deten tion. The west bound freight train which left Martinsburg at the same time arrived at Cumberland at 9:30 p. m. A mob of strikers assaulted the train on its arrival, but there be ing a squad of troops on board no serious damage occurred. At Key scr. West Virginia, the strikers re main defiant and positively refused to allow the shifting cngino to be moved from one siding t.i another. At Grafton the strikers had two meetings to-day, the committee from lvcyscr attending the evening meet ing. A resolution was ndontcd de claring their determination to _stnnd together and proposing a plan'tor a compromise with the committee ap pointed in conjunction of meetings in other divisions^to meet the officers of the railroad. MARTIxsisrnc, July 19,10:15P.M.— The city is perfectly quiet. The Strikers Defiant -Thejr Don't Care for any Civil posse, or Militia. PiTTsnrno, Pa., July 20.—At twelve o'clock, last night, Sheriff Fife, in compliance with a request from the railroad ollicials, visited tho sirikcrs at 2Sth street and ordered them to disperse. This they refused to do. The Sheritf remained there until after three o'clock, this morning, but his authority was delied, lie was in formed that trains would not go out if^they could prevent it, and they did not care for any pos-ehe could mus ter, nor for any troops that could be brought out. Finding the strikers were not disposed to yield obedience to civil authority the railroad otlicers decided to call upon the military. The following dispatches were at once forwarded to Lieut. Gov.
