PROCLAMATION OF THE MAYOR. The following proclamation has just been furnished the Associated Press : '.The mayor of Chicago ls happy to be able to announce that the city remains quiet and peaceable. There ISL lawlessness, incendi? arism or riotous conduct, and order reigns supreme. Life and property are as secure as before the burning of the city. The govern? ment, ia all Its departments, is lo tull and l^pr/otitplete operation. None of ottr inhabitants are without shelter ot some kind. "Food to relieve the present necessities has flowed in upon us in abundance from all quar? ters, but i he long winter Js before us, and we shall need all the aid sympathizing humanity can render us? Such an exhibition of sympa? thy and generous aid, as has been celled* torin by our great calamity, has never been ?nualled in the history of the world. It has cheered and encouraged our citizens. "Business has largely been resumed; houses, mostly of a temporary character, are spring? ing up in all parts of the two thousand t.cres of ruins; many permanent buildings arc belog erected, and the noted energy of our citizens ls being everywhere displayed. In the name of our citizens, I tender their heartfelt thanks to all who have so nobly and generously sym? pathized with and aided us in our great dis? tress. R. B. MASON, Mayor." It is estimated that the total amount ot money contributions to the sufferers by the fire thus fat from cities, towns and individuals in this country and Europe, reaches $3,000,000. . It is impossible to estimate the value of con *? trioutions of clothlnz and supplies at pre? sent. The New York subscriptions to? day exceed $500,000; Brooklyn, $125,000; Boston. $100,000; Pittsburg, $160,000. Cities tl and towns all over New England are subscribing from $1000 to $50,000. Reports frfuT all parts of the West and South show unabated zeal on the part of the people. In collecting money and supplies for the suf? fering neople o' Chicago, and the good work goes (navely on. Among the contrtbcilon", to? day were $10,000 from the Adams Express Company, and $5)00 each from Messrs. Baring. Morgan, Rothschild, Brown, Shipley ? Co., of* En^nd, the Great Western Railway and the Grand T-unk Railway of Canada. A telegram from Cincinnati announces that the benefit at Pike's Opera House, under the management of Mr John T. Ford, of Baltimore, realized $2962 35 for the Chicago sufferers. TUE BANKS. So far none of tho bank vaults have been Alor.nd injured, those of the Union National -".nje.ng tn perfect condition. Every dollar ol the millions deposited In the Fidelity Safe De ?oslt Company's vaults ls safe. The amount of inds saved from the vaults of the banks, add et' to the balances in New York, leaves them an amount ot cash equal to forty or fifty per cent. This, with the insurance that will be paid, insures the collection of seventy-five per cent, of u cir loans by the banks. ACTION OF BANKERS. An adjourned meeting of the bankers of Chicago was held this morning. A committee was ar pointed to draw up resolutions, which consisted of S. Smith, president ot the Mer? chants' Loan and Trust Company, and others. The loliowing resolutions were reported and unanimously adopted : Whereas, This city has been visited by a conflagration scarcely equalled in the history of the world; whereas the banks having suf? fered as severely as the business community generally, leel that If left to a peaceful adjust? ment of their affairs they can pay all liabili? ties in tull, while any attempt on the part ot banks to force Immediate payment from their debtors would augment and Intensify the wide spread ruin and desolation which ls upon us;, be it i Resolved, That the banks of this city will open for business as soon as possible, giving due notice of lime and place; that they will {ay Immediate Instalments, to not more than 5 per cent., in the case of any individual bank, and will continue to pay additional In? stalments as fast as the assets can be made available, until the entire liabilities are liqui? dated, lt being an advantage to the communi? ty to reserve a portion of their cash assets to furnish a commodations to surviving commer? cial interests. Resolved, That until the assets can br. ex? amined and the condition made public, that the presidents and other officers receive and pay out deposits as trustees for ' ! air custom? ers. Resolved, That bankers form a permanent organization for the purpose or devising means to meet tbe exigencies upon us. Resolved, That the overwhelming generosi? ty ot the world fills our eyes with tears. Our hearts are too tull to express the gratitude that swells In the bosom ot every inhabitant., We can only say, ''God bless the noble people of the world, and save them from such a, calamity." ACTION OF BUSINESS MEN-SPIRIT OF THE. ^ PEOPJLE, AC. The wholesale grocers had a meeting this afternoon and agreed to ask no compromise with creditors, but only ask for time, 'J hey are determined to pay all accounts in full, lt ls ascertained from official reports that 50, 000.000 teet of lumber were destroyed, leaving 24,000,000 feet still on hand. One hundred thousand dollars were subscribed to-day to? ward building the Chamber or Commerce on the old site. Work on lt is lo be commenced Toe wholesale dealers in provisions, l'our and lumber reluse to take advantage of th ; situa? tion, but continue to sell their goods at old Erices. The same is true of coal dealers who ave any stock left. Temporary buildings are being erected in everv direction, and by Saturday night there will be hundreds of houses ready for occupa? tion. There is a marked change In the spirit of the Eeople. Th* first feeling of utter prostration as given way to confidence. The burnt dis? trict is no longer an object of Interest save as to the situation of sites for rebuilding. Every business man who can find a shed in which to resume has begun business again. Country debtors are remitting their claims, and insurance solvency becoming more and more promising. Business will be resumed as usual at the live stock yards to-morrow. Gen. Sheridan makes appeal through the Associated Press to the people of the country to dissuade those who are anxious to visit Chicago, from mere curiosity, irom coming. Thousands ol this class are here now, without shelter or ac? commodation, and they must be ted and cared for the same as the sufferers. WATER AOAD?. The most cheering fact since the Are is that to-night water commenced running in the Eipes, one engine at the water works having een found sufficiently uninjured to be set in motion. This removes, in a measure, one ter? rible form of sufferiug-the lack of water. The Latest. SPRINGFIELD, October 14. The Leei?lature has adjourned to visit Chl caeo Before they return they will remit a quarter of a million of dollars due the State Irom Chicago upon improvements on the Illi? nois and Chicago Canal. CHICAGO, October 14. Some laborers, taking advantage or the pro? fuseness of provisious, refuse work at less than a dollar an hour. Hundreds of shanties are going up ir. every direction. It rained this morning, clearing the atmos? phere of dust and smoke. CINCINNATI, October 14. Arrangements have been made here for the accommodation oi two hundred children from Chicago. The Relief Movement Abroad. LONOON. October 12-Midnight. In response tc a call ot the American minis? ter for a meeting to express sympathy and provide relief for the people of Chicago, over four hundred Americans and English gentle? men assembled at the Laugham Hotel to? night. The parlors of the hotel were crowded to excess, and many persons were unable to obtain admittance. The meeting was organ? ized by appointing Hon. Robert C. Schee ck as chairman. Brief but stirring appeals were made by several speakers. Maps of the un? fortunate city, with the burned district desig? nated, had been hung on the walls, and were explained by gentlemen well acquaint? ed with the ground. One of the speakers drew a parallel between the conflagration in Chicago and the great dre In London, which elicited prolonged applause. But the enthusiasm, which was evident from the opening ot the meeting, needed no stimu 1 is. Everybody was eager to contribute, and within a short time from the opening ot tbe 1 st ?10,000 sterling were subscribed viva voce. Conspicuous among the subscribers were seve? ral ex-Confederates, who requested that their names should not appear. A lew merchants of Chicago, whose establishments were des? troyed by the fire, also offered their subscrip? tions amid the cheers ol' the assemblage. Re? solutions expressing the deepest sympatby for the sufferers, and pledging further aid, were adopted by acclamation. LONDON, October 13.

The Flight and Death of the Murderer Hie Father Insane. A correspondent of the Columbia Union, whose letter ls dated October 9th, -fives some "interesting Information for Ku-Klux apolo? gists," In the shape of a statement that, at the time of the murder, Ingram was under Ku Klux Influence, and was on his way to a Ku Klux den. In the Lancaster Ledger of the 12th, we find the following full account ot the murder. That it should have been set down to the Ku-Klux, is proof enough of the shifts to which the Radical sheets are reduced: The murder of Mr. John Newman on the 16th of September ultimo, by his brother in Jaw. Sikes Ingram, a youth about eighteen ?Mj?rs of age, is still iresh in the min ls of ou: ?Mers. Young Ingram, ut the time he com Bped the rash act, was under the influence orlfquor, and had gone to bis brother-in-law's (Newman's) house, where his mother was re? siding, and after staying a short time, de? clared his intention of leaving. His mother, discovering that he had been drinking, pre? vailed upon Mr. Newman to try and deter him from leaving. Newman went out and met him near the gate, caught hold of his bridle and begged him not to go; but he refused to listen to any appeals, and drew his knife and told Newman to let go the reins or he would cut him. Newman still conliuued to beg him, and laid his hand upon Ingram's leg, when Ingram suddenly drew his knife and Inflicted a mortal wound cutting Newman's throat, severing the Ji'.gfiKreiD, from which he died in a few hours. '^K* The ead ocotjflpce cast a gloom over the community in Which the participants lived, and the father ot young Ingram, Mr. Silas In? gram, sought to shield his son by taking bim tothe West. Shortly after the murder, Mr. jfKam, with his son, left, aDd nothing had Reheard of either until last Saturday night, HK we received information of their whrre !flrhts Tt appears that after they left this county ?ey made In the direction of the Blue Ridge, North Carolina, with the intention of cross? ing into Tennessee. From the Rutherford Vin? dicator we learn that they arrived at Sandy Plains, Polk County, N. C., on the 25th ult., both "lek and partially deranged. Slkes In? gram, the murderer, died on the Thursday lol lowing, and the old man, Silas, was in such a condition that nothing satisfactory could be obtained from him in regard to bis family. ALL ABOUT THE STATE. -Columbia bad two burglaries on Friday night. -A gentleman from Walhalla reports heavy frosts. Chestnuts are plenty in the market in consequence. -General Wade Hampton delivered a eulogy upon General R. E. Lee, at the Concordia, in in Baltimore, on the evening of the 12tb in? stant. -The Greenville passenger train, on Friday, was delayed by the running off of the freight train and the demolition of several cars oe tween Newberry and Frog Level. -Two rattle8naks were found in the upper part of Laurens County, near Henderson's Mill, one on the 28th September, by R. W. Ruggers, measuring three and a half feet, with eight rattles; another found and killed by a daughter of T. B. Nelson, (aged thirteen vears,) measuring five and a halt feet, with fifteen rattles. -The Anderson Intelligencer reports that an accident occurred tn that town, on Tuesday af? ternoon last, which it seems miraculous' did not result more seriously. Three ladles were riding in a buggy, and as they turned the cor? ner at the Methodist Church, the horse became frightened and commenced running and kick? ing. Before reaching the next corner, this buggy ran against another buggy, crushing a front wheel ot the first mentioued vehicle and throwing the occupants violently to the ground. One of the ladles was severely Injur? ed, while the others escaped unhurt. The suf? ferer, Mrs. D. N. Major, was cared for at a neighboring residence, and medical aid imme? diacy rendered by Dr. P. A. Wllhlte, who pronounced the Injuries to be less than was at nrst supposed. She cannot be removed to her home in the country for several days. GLIMPSES OF GOTHAM. EFFECT OF TUE CHICAGO CONFLA? GRATION IN NEW YORK. Heavy Subscriptions for the Sufferers Newspaper Hinterprise-The Pennsyl? vania Election -Free Cuba Heil iv i vus-The Colby Ballad Company. [mOM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] NEW YORK, October ll. Of cctirse nothing else has been talked about tor the past two days but the Chicago Are. The subscriptions for the suflerers collected in this city have been enormous. All classes and con? ditions o? the people appear to have come for? ward spontaneously in the good work. The newspaper offices have not been behind the rest. Even the compositors, whose incomes are oct usually much more than their urgent expense?, have contributed according lo their means, and in one office where there are not more than seventy hands employed, I know of over two hundred dollars being given by the poor but generous typos. Little as this is, lt ls a great deal, comlug from men who do not make, ort an average, more than ten te fifteen dollars per week, lmenllon this asan Instance of the feelinjr pervadlnrr the community. We bear ot the same thing being done in tba other great wealthy cilles ol' the North, and it really looks now as it the Chicago people, with what they recover Irom the insurance offices, and what they receive as the free gift of their countrymen, would be made nearly whole again. " 'There ii someiliing In the spirit shown by the inhabitants of Chicago that makes Americans teel proud ol themselves, tor Chicago is really but a type of the country. Twenty times to? day, at least, I have heard individuals ex? claim with :t saiNfled chuckle, -well aim we a great people?" This is apropos of the news that building In the burnt district has re? commenced. The great merchants, the bank? ing associations, the hotel proprietors, the theatre owners ol ihe devastated city are send? ing broadcast their orders lor bricks and lime and lum o'er, while they have gone to work to clean up their waste spots, and to put up more stately edifices In place of those that have gone. No class of men have exhibited more enter? prise than the newt-paper proprietors. Every newspaper building in Chicago, with its con? tenta, h'is been destroyed, and yet with what odd type,and machinery that could be gath? ered together irom job offices and neighboring cities and villages, nearly every Chicago journal was out again this morning, on half sheets, lt is trite, but still with editorials, telegrams, and stunning reports of the great fire. The Chi? cago Evening Journal office was burned ou Monday afternoon, just in time lo prevent the regular issue ol'the paper, built was out again Tuesday afternoon as usual. Somebody near me has been speculating whether on the last great day,wheo "ail things shall be burned up," the Chicago papers will not Issue extras giving account ol the progress ol the Ure and the other phenomena up to the moment when lt .will be necessary to vacate ihe premises. In "this connection, the generosity ol' the New York Tribune ought to be noticed. Ever since being burned out themselves many years ago, the proprietors have maintained in another building a complete duplicate set of materials; so that It a calamity should again visit their office, the continued publication of the Tribune might not be delayed au hour. The whole ot this duplicate material was offered by tele? graph to the proprietors of the Chicago Tri? bune as soon as ll was announced that the great "Are-proof" building ot the latter had melted before the fi?mes. It is an ill wind ibat blows nobody good. In the race for pre-eminence between the two rival cities of the West, St. Louis now shoots ahead. Ol' course Chicago will rise from her wooden ashes Into a more splendid city ot stone and brick; but lt will be three or four years before sbe will be herself again, and that time will naturally be Improved by St. Louis in drawing the grain and provision trade to her port. So completely has the news (rom Chicago absorbed the public mind that the elections in Ohio and Pennsylvania have passed almost un? heeded. You will have learned before this that In spite of the sanguine hones expressed by the Democratic papers of Pennsylvania, and by Mr. Wallace, the chairman of the Demo? cratic State central committee, the Democrats have again been defeated. It is ?vident from the result of the recent elections that a major? ity of the people of the North are not yet ready to abandon Radicalism. It ls well to look the facts square in the face and Inquire why it is so. It ls an unpleasant prospect to contem? plate-four years more of Grant, with irritat? ing Congressional legislation. Ku-Klux laws, proscription, and interference with elections In the South. Something must be done to? wards combining with the decent men In the Radical ranks who are sick of Grant and dis? gusted with the arbitrary and unconstitutional acts of the Radical Congress. The country must be saved, and the South released from bondage, even if the Democrats have to take Gratz Brown or Chief Justice ChaBe to do lt with. That ls the way lt looks to us here, though Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, thinks other? wise. The cause of "Free Cuba" ls not dead, though it languishes a blt. There was quite an enthusiastic mass meeting at Cooper Institute, last night, to express continued sympathy with the Cubans. The occasion w as Hie third anni? versary of the declaration ol Cuban indepen? dence. We have in our midst the vice-presi? dent of the Cuban Republic, and he was Invi? ted to preside. It ls a curious circumstance that lhere are more Cubun patriots living quietly and securely lu New York than lhere ure in the mountains of the unfaithful isle struggling against Valtnaseda's cohorts. Gene? ral Jordan ls still here, und has never ventured back since he ran the blockade of the Spanish Aeet, more than two years ago. For awhile he was actively engaged Tn gelling up expeditions to relieve the Cubans, and at one time was arrested by the United States authorities; but I believe he has fallen out with (he leadlntr Cubans in this city, and has turned his attentlou to some other vocation, at any rate he did not put in an ap? pearance at the meeting last night. Among the speakers were Charles A. Dana, editor of the Sun, and Senor Ramon C?spedes, Cuban secretary ol Hate. Dickens Dolby has made a hit with his troupe of English ballad and madrigal singers. The American debut took place at Steinway Hall, on Monday night. Santley, the London favo? rite, who divides honors in that metropolis with Sims Reeves, ls the bright, particular star ol Mr. Dolby's band. The audiences have been large and unusually enthusiastic. THE KU-KLUX HUNTERS. HUNTSVILLE, October 14. The sub committee on Ku-Klux, of which Senator Pratt is chairman, after sluing eight days in this place, adjourned this evening to go by ivay ot Chaituuooga to Montgomery, where they will remain two or three days, and then go to Demopolls, Marengo County, where they will remain for perhaps a week. They have examined lorty-two witnesses here, in? cluding several of the principal public men on the Democratic side, who regarded the coun? try as peaceful. On the other side many per? sons, Including negroes, testified to the com? mission ot acts of violence. THE COTTON MOVEMENT. NEW YORK, October 15. The cotton movement for the week shows an Increase in the receipts and exports. The receipts at all or the ports for the week were 64,007 bales, against 46,044 last week, 24,073 the previous week, and 20,606 three weeks since.

DECLARATION OF THE BISHOPS IN COUNCIL, i TOBER ll, 1871. "We, the subscribers, bishops of the Prot tant Episcopal Church In the United Stat being asked, in order to the quieting oft consciences of sundry members of the si church, to declare our conviction as to t meaning of the word*'regenerate,' In the o ces for the ministration of baptism of infan do declare thal in our opinion the word rege ?rate is not there so used as to determine th a moral change In the subject of baptism wrought in the sacrament." This is signed by all the bishops. v'ie committee on canons reported in fav of admitting to seats, without the right lo vol delegates from missionary jurisdictions. Rsv. Dr. Vlnton said the minority, thou] having no report to present, desired toexpre their views. The minority thought that the was ample provision now by which the wac ot the missionary jurisdictions could be pi sented through their bishops and throu| other deputies. Joint Committee on the Ritual A] pointed-Thc Nicene Creed-Importai Propocittona. NINTH DAV-OCTOBER 13. The president announced the appolntme: of the committee on the uniformity of tl ritual : Rev.

Considerable discussion ensued as to th propriety and expediency of the proposed a< Hon. Rev. Dr. Pinckney, ot South Carolina, sal that In his diocese no less than twenty-on churches had been destroyed by the ravage of war. Many of the parishes were in a leen! and struggling condition. The consequent, was that he and the rectors of the city an stronger parishes had felt Impelled to dlree their contributions to sustain these feeble pa lehes of their own dioceses. Mr. Smith, of North Carolina, said to pat the resolution would be a vote ot censure upo all those clergymen and laymen who had bee so unfortunate as to be unable to contribute t the cause of missions. What had been sal by the reverend deputy from South Carolin (Mr. Pinckney applied with equal force to th whole South. What they could give we needed nt home. Rev.

His sufferings were intense. ' THE RULE OF THE BAYONET. WHAT PRESIDENT GRANT'S KU-KLUX PROCLAMATION MEANS. Attitude and Policy of the Adminis? tration-Murda 1 Law and Suspension of the Writ of Habeas Corpus to Fol? low-Proposed Arrest of Well Known Southern Alen. The usually well pasted Washington corres? pondent of the Baltimore Sun telegraphs to that paper, on Friday night, as follows : "It is learned that the Presidential procla? mation under the Ku-Klux act means more than Its surface would indicate. It is now known positively that for more than six weeks past, or even since the Ku-Klux committee of Congress returned from the South, the admin? istration has had under consideration a policy to be enforced not only against the so-called Ku-Klux organizations, but in the administra? tion of Federal civil affairs In the South. There was no substantial difference of opinion among the President and the Cabinet and the leading Republicans who favored this new order of things, except as to the time when lt shall be enforced, and that accounts for the delay until after the October elections. The proclamation is, therefore, but the forerunner of martial law and the suspension ot the writ of habeas corpus, -as provided by the fourth section of the act of April 20th. This Bays that any Ku-Kiux organi? zation or combination Bhall be deemed a rebellion against the government, the limits of which shall be prescribed by proclamation, and also by commanding tbe Insurgents to disperse," before the privileges of the writ of habeas corpus are suspended. A prominent member of the government and also leading Republicans declared to-day that the arrange? ments of the civil and military for wholesale arrests of members of the fci-Klux Klan had been perfected, and that the country would be surprised, If the proclamation were not heeded, by the arrest of well-known Southern men. Inasmuch as it ls averred that outrages In the South are provoked by corruption of office? holders, and the plunder ot the people, lt ls the Intention of the President to warfare against all corrupt Federal officials, and to In? vite the co-operation of ail good Republicans for the displacement of bad State officials. This ls to go nand-in-hand with the enforce? ment of the Ku-Klux law, until it ls slated '.lhere ls a lasting peace In the South." In confirmation of the above, we find the following In the Washington correspondence o? the Baltimore Gazette : '.The President's proclamation to-day ls but j a forerunner of a declaration of martial law in South Carolina. It was decided in Cabinet some weeks ago to take this action, but the President refrained tor the time, hoping affairs would BO shape themselves as to render such severe measures unnecessary; but he has been constantly importuned by Southern Radicals and men of Senator Scott's class to take this step, and encouraged by Radical successes In Pennsylvania and Ohio, he at last yielded. That martial law will be proclaimed there seems to be no doubt. The Radicals are Jubi? lant, and claim that the President has commit? ted himself and cannot back down now, but must carry out his threats to the letter." MARTIAL LAW IN TEXAS. GALVESTON, October 14. The Governor's proclamation of martial law was taken up In the House at Austin. A resolution to sustain the Governor was op. posed by many leading Republicans. Plumb fy, Radical, from Galveston County, opposed lt bitterly, and said : "I shall vote against the Governor's proclamation of martial law be? cause I think it ls illegal. I will not be de? terred from an expression of my opinion against the proclamation by the cry of having gone to the Democracy. I shall vote against lt because I am a Republican, and regard lt as destructive to the party and subversive ol the constitution and liberties of the people. The Governor bas made a mistake. I will not be compelled, under party lashing, to endorse and ratify the error. My county bas increased Its Democratic majority irom 100 In two years to 2000. Now the lucrease la caused by en? forcing just such illegal and irregular declara? tions ot martial law as we are now consider? ing." One hundred and twenty-five colored militia have arrived at Groesbeck. Business is sus? pended lhere. All the roads leading to the place are guarded, and no one ls allowed to pass In or ont. Twenty-five citizens have been arrested and placed under bonds for their ap? pearance before Judge Oliver. Much Indigna lion ls felt. Additional returns from the second district increases Connor's majority. The Democrats have doubtless elected all four Congressmen. The aggregate majority of the State ls esti? mated at 40.000. .1 REIGN Of TERROR. Business at a Stand-Still In Fparlan 1) ui g-Vont May Leave the Village. [From the Union Times.] From what we can learn, there is a perfect reign of terror in Spartanburg County, and nearly all business, except that pertaining to the United States marshal's office, ls ata stand? still. We are told numbers arrive daily at the courthouse, acknowledging themselves mem? bers of the Ku-Klux organization. Ii those we saw taken to Columbia by the deputy mar? shal are specimens ol the organization, we don't think lt ls so formidable a clan, after all. We do not believe the oldest was over twenty years old, and two of them certainly had not reached seventeen. We learn, however, that lt ls dan getoaa for a person to leave the village, for fear of being suspected ot trying to escape from the officers or the law. Une gentleman was arrested while on his way to transact some business with a person outside the corporate limits of the village, and lodged In jail. Num? bers ol respectable men have left the county, not because they feel guilty of any wrong, but Orom the fact that many of the arrests are ot such persons upon whom suspicion had never i rested, and no one knows how soon some mali? cious fellow may point him out as a suspected 1 member of the mystic band, and have him In? carcerated in a loathsome dungeon. * * * * We are, always have been, and expect always to be unmistakably opposed lo secret political organizations. They are directly opposed to our ideas of true Republicanism, and will nlwavs prove, as the Union Leagues and Ku Klux-Klans have, detrimental to the peace and prosperity ot the couutry. We are no more apologists lor Ihose who commit murder or whip and otherwise mal? treat Individuals, than we are lor those who burn dwelling houses, barns, stables, commit rape or theft; but we do demand that the per? petrators o? either or all of these crimes shall nave a lair trial before an impartial and un? prejudiced court and jury and when found ?nil tv they should suffer the penalty attached io suck eil mes by the laws of the States In which the crime was committed. Lawless Conduct of United States Sol? diers-They Break Down Doors and >l ra I Provisions. Information reaches us that a squad ot Uni? ted '?tales soldiery, under command of a depu? ty United Slates marshal, went to the resi? dence of J- Banks Lyles, one morning last week, to arrest him. Captain Lyies was not at home, aud the soldiers broke down doors, .ind behaved In a very unmanly manner. They rode their horses into the front j urd, took corn irom Captain Lyles's crib, and fed their ani? mals there. Captain L. ls principal of a large male academy, and when the squad arrived ihe breakiast for Uie students was either o. the table, or ready to be put there. This the soldiers took forcible Dossession of and ate up. THE OLD WORLD'S NEWS. PARIS, October 14. A new outbreak ia Alg eria necessitates tbe I dispatch ot additional troVps. Munroe ?
