Nation, privates Edward Carr and John Walsh killed. Lieut. Hail received orders from Geo. Howard not to fire on the Indians in tho mountains, unless he found them en? gaged in actual outrages. Tho same order was sent to all the military posts South of Gila River on the same day of tho murder of the soldiers. Gen.

The more rumor of a French attempt at Bonapartist reaction in Parts, which has beoa circulated in the French capital during a few days just past, appears to have alarmed or irritated the govert.iog authority of the republic. His Imperi- > al Highness Priuco Napoleon Bouaparte and his wife, Princess Clothilde, who ar- i rived in Paris lately, were notified officially to leave the city and quit thu soil of France yesterday. An agent of the Thiers govern ment delivered the summons. Prinoe Napoleon replied ver? bally, that he "refused to quit hts native land and he will yield only.to force." The Italian Princess, Clothilde, was more animated in her expression. Her words oarried refusal and proclaimed a deter? mination to resist. She desired the agent to assure the President that she "would only leave Franco between two gendarmes." This situation is exceed? ingly unpleasant for the contending parties. It may become dangerous to the poace of tho nation. Bonaparte claims his right of residence asa French? man, who has accepted the republio voted by his fellow-countrymen. His wife bus become French by her mar? riage, but she bas warm blood in her veins, aud an impetuous, proud and warm-hearted nation, ruled by a popular king, her father, ready to sympathize with ber. It is to be hoped that this new French imbroglio will be adjusted soon, and in a satisfactory manner, for we learn that Prince Napoleon finally took his departure from Paris. A NEGRO MURDERER ARRESTED.-Ou the night of the 8th instant a most de? liberate and cold-blooded murder oc? curred in Hardeeville, Beaufort County, ou tho Savannah and Charleston Rail? road. It appears that two negroes, named respootively Moses Bollen and John Shela's, both living on tho Sea? brook plantation, bad a difficulty some timo ago, growing out of unwarrantable intimacy between ono of the parties nod the wife of the other. Bollen was the foreman of the plantation, and while standing in front of his house on the night iu question, he was suddenly fired at by Shelds seven times, some of tho shot taking effect and killing him almost instantly. Shelds made his escape to Savannah, and tho sheriff of Beaufort County-Holmes-sont a constable to that city, whore the negro was captured last Thursday night aud taken back to Beaufort. Of tho CO.O0O Federal office-holders there must be about 55,000 now en? gaged iu Btumpingand electioneering for Grant.

A STRANGE STORY.-Coming from any other source than tho sober, statistical Scientific American, wo should utterly re fuse credence to tho story it relates, and after admitting its authenticity, we are prepared to believe anything. That veracious journal describes a strange fer? tilizer. At Stratford, Connecticut, where mosquitoes are thick as fog, lives an in? genious Yankee, BO they say, who puts those insects to profitable uses. Ile has invented a largo revolving scoop-net, covered with lace, whioh is put in mo lion by a wind-mill, water power or steam. The lower half of the scoop io placed in water. The upper hnlf moves through tho atmosphere, and ut each ro tutiou draws na immense number of "aquitoee" down into the water, where they drown and sink to tho bottom. Every revolution of tho net draws in an ounce of mo&quitoos, or a ton for every 32,000 tarns of tho machine. The mos? quitoes thus collected make a splendid manuro for tho land, worth forty-five dollars a too. -- Madame Thiers' ooncert to supply dis? abled soldiers with wooden legs wits a great success. Nono had seats reserved for them. M. Thiers entered like auy bourgeois, and nu aido-do-camp found him a place near tho orchestra. DEATH OF A RADICAL SENATOR.-Se? nator Hiram W. Duncan, of Union, died at his rusidenoe in that town, ou the 13th. The cause of his death was a con gestive chill. Hu leaves a wife and three ohildren. ONE OF THE MOST DARING ROBBERIES ON REOOBD.-The Kansas City (Missouri) Times, of September 27, hos tho follow? ing account of a crime which was in? adequately noticed by telegraph: A short time before sun-down, yester? day, Mr. Churoh White, the treasurer of tho Exposition Association, bnd visited tho Twelfth Btreot gate nnd taken away the receipts of the afternoon, amounting to about 812,000, at that gate. There was left in thu till $978, uud this was the sum the robbers realized. About half nu hour after Mr. White wout away with the bulk of the receipts, tin) three meu rode up from the direction of Twelfth street. They were disguised with pieces of checked cloth drawu down over their foreheads and below their eyes. At tho time of their arrival nu un intermittent Btreaiu of carriages and pedestrians was surgiug out of the gate ou their way home from the show. The largest of the three men quietly dis? mounted, handing the reins of Ilia boree to one of bis confederates, and walked ap to the ticket booth, which is a small building located just to the right of tho gate aB you go in. The till, a large tin box, stood on the counter nearly in front of the arched window through which tho tickets were sold. The desperado reached through tho window and seizing the box attompted to make off. Meanwhile his confederates sat on their horses like statues, holding tho horror-stricken crowd paralyzed at bay with their drawn navy revolvers, and threatening iustant death to the first mau that moved a muncie. It was one of those exhibitions of superb daring that chills the blood and transfixes the muscles of the looker-on with a mingling of amazement, admiration und horror. When tho dismounted robber had got hold of the box and drawn it. through tho window, tho ticket-seller, Mr. Benj. Wallace, rushed out of the door of tho booth and grappled with him. But the desperado had already seized tho money, thrust it into his pocket, aud thrown the box away. As Wallace gruppled tho mau the confederate, who was mounted, fired at him, bot simultaneously with the flash Wallace let go of the man and ducked his bead. The ball passed over him aud hit a little girl who stood iu rango just beyond him, indicting a severe wound in tho calf of her leg. Quicker than we eau say it, the mar had mouuted his horse, aud tho three broke for Twelfth street and (hence East ward toward the woods. Whence the came or whither they wont no one knows This mid was undoubtedly plauned tc hag the entire amount of the receipts the intention probably being to catel Church White. He luckily missed them or they him, by half an hour. -? THE INDIANA ELECTION.-A despatel dated Indianapolis, October ll, says: Returns havo been received from al the Couutics of the Slate, and althougl only a portion of them ure official, tb result eau be pretty confidently stated It was feared duriug the day that th Grant men were holding back the vol of certain Counties, as in 1808, so tha they could count up to any Liberal mu jority in the rest of thu Slate. Thi suspicion hung over tho Liberuls all daj and tho most gloomy anticipations wei indulged in. Crowds besieged bot newspuper offices, but to no purpose, c no dutinito decision could be given. Tb civil factious were within easy howliu distance, and for the past three night have been cheering defiantly ut eau other from time to time. This evening however, the final yell of triumph wei up iu frout of the Sentinel bnildiui The close and desperate uaturo of tl contest uud the narrow escape from d feat are due mainly to the fact that tl disaffection of thu straight-out Demi oraoy waa uot fully appreciated. Thei is no doubt that many of them stu away from the polls, and mudo tl otherwise unequal struggle ul most oven balanced. Moreover, the Liberals, u though organized for an ordiu ry cat paigu, were not ready for such u th roughly prepared uud unscrupulous a tagonist. Tho uae of mouey by the A ministration purty was hurd to cuutet against, and tho enormous vot e of tl State indicates the amouut of frai committed. Hendricks' majority is pr bably from 500 to 700; Hopkins, caut date for Superintendent of Public 1 struction, is also elected by about 1,0 majority. Tho Grant mon claim the i mainder of the State ticket, but it w require the official returns to decide. - - - . -. Tho oditor of a Western poper aliud iu his last number to his contemporu "as the blue-uosed babbler ucross t way," and charges him with "ronni his urms to tho shoulders in the filt muck of rotten political fraud."
