The intellifretie received by Secretary- Schurr last night of the surrender of the captive women and children held by the hostile Utes was very welcome, and the" Secretary is very much encour aged to hope that the murderers will next le given up. Of this, however, as already said, there may be doubt entertained. The murderers are most likely concealed in the mountain fast nesses far away from the poiut where t'e captives were recovered. It seems now that it was wise in any event to suip MerriU's command from proceeding-further at the time the orders to that effect were received. Winter had already come in that inhospitable re gion. A blinding and freezing snow storm had overtaken General Merritt, At the very moment that the courier reached him with orders to stop the pursuit he was sending back his wagon train 'Ua:aue he could not proceed with it- luelficiently equipped and provisioned as he was, great suffering would love been entailed on the troops had he moveI on. ooINO KOK COMMISSIONER RACM. Several Virginia Republicans called on the President yesterday and asked for the removal of . oiniiiisaioner of In ternal Revenue Kaum. Their reason for making the request was because of the recent letter of the Commissioner to an internal revenue inspector iu Peters burg, demanding his resignation on account of his alleged support of the debt repudiaiors. The President wa told that to keep Mr. Raum in office would le considered as an evidence that his administration intended to exercise a coercive intiuence over State politics. The President did not indicate that Mr. iUum would be removed. I. U K STATE .NOTES. statesville landmark. Mr. Isaac A.

Oct. -.-J.-Saturday the tli instant the dry weather was broken up bv a gentle shower, and to-tlay the heavv clouds are dropping a steady show er and the indications are good lor a wet fall and winter. It is thought that considerable damage has been done to earlv sowed w heat bv the dry weather and 'the tlv. The full extent of damage done by the fly cannot be determined until next spring. Last Saturday even ing the Yadkin river began rising rapidiv, though the small streams in this section were all low, and continued to rise until noon oh Sunday, reaching a height of fifteen feet, damaging the corn 011 the lowest bottoms. We sup pose that great damage has been done on the head-waters of the Yatlkin, as the torrent of drift and pumpkins showed that she had played havoc in the low lands along her lxrders. The ferrv lsat at Fulton escaped. Professor Rominger, of the Fork Church Academy, and M -. Luther Stewart, of the same vicinity, both left last Saturdav to be married on Sunday, the former to a Mis Spurgeon, the lat ter to Miss Rominger, sister of the Pro fessor. Thev returned yesterday much happier than the farmers whose corn had been under the water. We welcome the voung ladies to the full enjoyment ot citizenship, and bespeak for them a large share of that generous hospitality that the people of Davie know so well how to bestow. The Hartinan Brothers are now open ing a new store at Advance, Davie county. Thev are industrious, worthy young men. and we besjeak for them a liberal share of the trade. This is their first venture iu mercantile life. E. p. s.-Mv last report made me say Brown was"opening a store at Smith's Grove. It should have been Brower. L. WAKK. Wake Forkst Colleoe, Oct. 25.

Sew York Star, 25th. A man somewhat past middle age and quite feebie was driven to the New York Hospital on Wednesday afternoon, and at his own request was admitted thereto. It was found tha. he was suffering from consumption. He failed rapidly and died yesterday. The physicians could get hut little information from him. He said that his name was Colonel Lafay ette W. F. Grav, and that for some years he had been "a traveling advertising agent for hotels and railroads. In his pockets he carried a large number of railroad and steamboat passes, printi pillv over lines in the South. ' llut have you no friends with whom I can communicate ?" asked the attend ing nhvsician. " Frfends !" exclaimed the Colonel ; " why, I have thousands of them. I'm known all the way from Savannah to Portland " Finallv he said that li s relatives lived in Lvn hburg, Va., but that he never eommunicaiea with them. Being pressed, however, he dictated a letter to Mary Jane Gray, who, he said, w as his sister, living in Lynchburg. After the Colonel's death a 'telegram w as sent to Miss Gray, but it was returned with the announcement tint the directions were too indefinite. The Colonel would not give the names of his acquaintances in this city nor the p.ace at which he w as stopping before he was taken to the hospital, ex cepting that it was a hotel near the Grand Central Depot. The case was reported to the Central Oflice, and Su perintendent Walling will endeavor to find the dead man's friends. Colonel G ray is described as having been an educated and well-bred man. Among his effects were found a large number of business letters and medi cal prescriptions. Fragments of a letter written on official paper of the Treas ur3 Department, addressed to Colonel W. F. Grav, Providence Hospital, Washington," D. C, were also found. The letter was signed "Green B- Ruim, Commissioner," but the body of the letter had been destroyed. There were parses on the Old Dominion Steam ship Company's boats, over the New York Central road, and several English and Irish railroads; a letter signed by J. Thomas Yose, Boston, written in July last, recommending Colonel Gray for admission to the Boston City Hos pital. Before his de.ith Colonel Gray saidthathe had $11 when he reached the city, but less than $2 was found. The bod will be kept at the hospital for a lew'davs to await a claimant. The New York Xeics of the 25th says that the remains of Colonel Gray are rescued from a Potter's Field inter ment. Mr. Uriah Welch, of the St. Nicholas Hotel, and Mr. John F. Sproule, of 229 Broadway, have come forward and guaranteed a respectable funeral. These gentlemen only kuew the Colonel slightly iu a business way, but as t'.ie deceased was so rambling in his talk before his death as to be un able to give any accurate information of his relatives, Messrs. Welch and Sproule believe this friendly act incum bent on them. BTo Cause for Alarm. Washington Post.

This request was peremptorily re fused by Mr. Schreiner, who perceived at once that his questioner was insane, or in a condition bordering on frenzy. His clothing betrayed evidence of ex treme destitution, while hunger seemed to have turned his intelligent face into a picture of haggardness. Mr. Bischoff hurried to the assistance of his employe, bat not in time to prevent the stranger fiom grasping a cheese knife and draw ing it across his own throat. The wound proved to be a slight one. A stampede ensued in the place, for it was feared that further havoc would be created. A gentleman living at No. 4S Eldridge street succeeded in getting the knife away from the young man. The latter then ran into the Bowery and up the steps of the Elevated rail way station at the corner of Grand street. Without waiting for the form ality of purchasing a ticket he darted past thegate-m in, jumped on the track, and a moment later, to the horror of all, the spectators, liung himself into the street. A Third avenue car had just passed thespot w here he struck the pav ing stones. The police with difficulty picked him up, ow ing to the crowd that congregated around the spot. At the Tenth Precinct statien a hur ried diagnosis showed that the back, left side and lolt arm of the would-be sui cide were broken. Although scarcely able to speak, he gave Ws name and ad dress as James Sullivan, aged twenty five, of No. 11 Summit street, New Lon don, Conn. The terrible shock seemed to have brought Sullivan to his senses, for he betran to groan piteously, aud beirged to be taken to a hospital. Little hope of Sullivan's recovery was expressed when the surgeon of Cham bets Street Hospital made him comfort able an hour later. The suicide's stfry was partially learned last night. Sulli van, "it appears, was iu receipt of a com fortable income until lant year while living in New London. Hard times threw him out of employment. Ten davs ago he found himself in this city, out of w ork, out of friends and without a sinirle acquaintance to whom he could apply for aid. He wandered about the streets in an aimless manner until hunger drove him wild. In conversa tion Sullivan betrayed considerable in telligence and even euliure. He could remember noXhitM?. ie-l TJf tiTSr tempt on his life; everything seauiada blank until he recovered consciousness through his terrible leap. Amputation will be necessary for both upper and lower limn, should Sullivan survive long enough to make the operations possible. "Even then," said his attend ant last night, "the poor fellow will be a cripple for life." The New York AVf.s of the 2-3th has the following relative to the matter: At the New- York Hospital w hence he was transferred last night from Chambers street, he was found to be suffering from delirium tremens. His injuries, far from being very severe as represented, are wonderfully slight tin der the circumstances One bone in his rigiit foot is broken ; he has a small scalp wound, aud a bruise on his back. He was respectably dressed and had eleven dollars in his pocket. He has as yet had no interval sufficiently lucid to make reliable statements concerning himself. Won t Keep Silence. Baltimore Gazette ilemj. On the morning after the Ohio elec tion, Deacon Smith covered the first page of the Cincinnati (inzrttf with a spread eagle, under which was in scribed the leirend, "When the lion roars let the beasts of tlie forest trem ble! When Ohio speaks, let the Dem ocratic party keep silence!" It is wrong lor Deacon Smith to attempt to terrorize the Democratic party by palming off an old worn-out eagle for a lion. For one member of the Demo cratic partv we don't propose to keep silence. " Hurrah for Ge.i. Jackson ! " Ntaiiff; by a Spider. New Berne Nut Shell, 27th.

She told the story of the chiefs who had been invited to visit Washington and treat with the great father. Their friends waited long to hear of their arrival in Washington, but in vain. Months afterward they reaehi d home we-rv, foot-sore and almost, dead. They had been deceived, and in stead of taking them to Washington the agents had taken them to the Indian Territory and left them the choice of re niaining'thero and selecting a home lor their tribe or of walking back to Dakota They had chosen the latter, andwhen their people heard the story of their wrongs thev were indignant at the in sult. A letter was dispatched to the President but was never heard from. Then the tribe was forced at the point of the bayonet, to leave its houie, its Erojiertv and all, and was driven to a arren waste, where the people were last dving ofl'. She said that she had see-.i the state ment in the papers that the soldiers had bee i sent to the Poneas because there was danger of serious trouble between two parties of their tribe. She could not conceive how there could be trouble, w hen one part of the tribe was in Dako ta and the other in the Indian Territo ry. She and her lather had visited the Indian Territory last summer, to see how the tribe had fared there. It was a sickening sight. The first thing she saw was the great number of new made graves ; beyond were a few mis erable huts without comforts, the furni ture of the Indians having been taken from them when they were moved. The agent lived in a fine house, and had all the comforts of home. The people were discouraged and ready to break away, but were persuaded to remain by her father until the suit should brought against the Government for their old homes. She said the Indians were thinking men and women, and they were human and had souls to save as well as other people. What they asked of the Government which had driven them from their homes wan to let them become civilized and have a voice in things which concerned them. As she left the platform she was loudly applauded. Local Mlnintera' C onferenc. The F'riday's sessioa w.is pleasant and profitable. L. Branson preached at 11 a. m. . and J.
