A wild rumor to-night that Middleton's force liad a pevere battle with the rebels at Batouclie induced great excitement. The rumor however, has been pronounced entirely baseless. It is not known that Middleton has yet moved from his camp at South Gabriel. Advices from Clarke's Crossing say that the steamer Northcote will bo strengthened to-dar and her vulnerable parts rendered bulletproof. She will go down stream simultaneously with the troops and attack Batouche fromtho river.

Edmonton advices say The region east and north, of here is full of hostiles in fact, all the Indians west of Battleford are in war paint, and the settlers have all fled. John Walkingshaw and Albert Harkness, both from Ontario, were killed by Big Bear's band over a week ago. Their wives and the wives of two missionaries are prisoners. All four women are being frightfully maltreated. Scouts from the northeast say that Col.

Otter will have a fearful time of it. Poundmaker, Little-Child and all the other chiefs are on the war path and a number of half-breeds are directing them. Major Steele was to have sent word back when lie reached Edmonton, but nothing has been heard from him. There is a perfect panic in the Eleanor districts, and scores of homesteads have been burned. Senatorial aspect has been materially changed by the events of the past forty-eight hours, and Logan's chances appear very much brighter.

as it becomes fully apparent that Weaver had been elected. Logan is now fully confident of his ultimate success, and is correspondingly happy, as in fact are all the Republicans. The hotel lob-' hies present quite a busy scene tonight, and many Republicans ar: inclined to "paint town red." as the spirits of the party rise. The Democrats are feeling blue enough. They admit that they were outgeneralled in this matter, and blame themselves for being so lax; Amy of the Potomac.

Board by the day or week on Reasonable Terms. diw Ilebels Colox, May 7. The two rebel leaders, Portazal and Cocobolo, who advised and assisted Prestan in burning the city, and who have been prisoners on the Galena, were delivered yesterday morning to Gen.

Keyes. commander-in-chief of the Colombian forces, by Captain Kane. A court martial was then held by Gen. Keyes and the rebel conspirators were sentenced to death. No delay occurred in exe cuting the sentence of the court.

In the afternoon the condemned men were taken to the middle of the ruins which they were instrumental in making and hanged in the presence of thousands of persons who had assembled to witness the enforcement of the law. The place selected for the hanging by Gen. Keyes was the exact spot where the leaders of the rebels had started the fire on March 31st, which laid the city in ashes and destroyed nearly ever building in it. Gen. Keyes' prompt and vigorous action has already had its effect, and the hanging of Portozal and Cocobolo has struck terror to every rebel on the Isthmus.

Adranciugr Russians. Teheran, May 7. Advices from Sarakhs state that a small force of Russians with four guns now occupy Penjdeh. The same advices contain a statement that the Russians have completely won over the Sarakh Turkomans. The telegraph lino is now completed 120 miles beyond Askabad.

There is an apparent lull in the Russian preparations for war. The Afghan troops along the Bala Murghab, not having received any pay for a long time, are greatly demoralized. I'rieuu'y lo Ensxia. St. Petersburg, May 7.
