i lllfl Who are their don't SATO postage si I Again mt Work Annalng the Dead. Washington, October 24th. An Inter view with General Rosecrans is published in which he consents to talk about ths ChickatuaugA and states the ditip. snVm of the array of the Cumber- Ui.d. He claims Cftuckaatauga was a vic tory, and not a defeat, for the -Union army.

Stanton claimed to have received the day of tbe battle a dispatch frorj Rosecrans that the army was routed an destroyed. Of this dispatch, Rose crans says: "If it is in existence with my name attached, it is bane and infamous fotgery. Stanton's hatred to ma was malignant and ing, and I believe he was capable of perpetrating auy infamy for my injury. I be-live the dispatch, if there was one. was manufactured in tbe War Department, and I think I know who did it." General Rosecrans ascribes Stanton's dis- to the fact that he could not flat ter the letter's desue to be President, for which be bad an insane ambition.

Row crans says Stanton nad to rintl soma cause for his removal from the Army of the Cumberland, and the General declares that tbe stories telegraphed over tne country to the effect that HX WAS A DRUNKARD And addicted to the opium habit, he as cribes as emanating from a person in tbe War Department, whose brother was prominently identified with a Chicago newspaper, and that Slantou must have known of these calumnies. In 1864, lie said: "General Garfield telegraphed me from the National Republican Convention in Baltimore asking if I would allow my name to go on the ticket for Vice-President with Lincoln. I was in St. Louis commanding the Department of Missouri I consulted Chief Justice Drake and Tom Ewing, who besought me to send a favor able reply." Rosecrans telegraphed Gar field that the Convention must exercise its own judgment in the matter, but Garfield never received the dispatch. "Stanton felt that my elevation meant his downfall," continued the general, "and I have not the slightest doubt he inter cepted tbe message in the desperate hope that it might be the means of getting me out of the way." Of Garfield, as chief of his staff, Rosecrans said: "I have seen worse and I have seen much better storie.

You may have read of tbe great influence be exerted over the conduct of my cam paigns. They are gross exaggerations or absurd rot. He was tbe last man I would have sons to for counsel in laying out campaign, or in fighting a battle." The generals of Rosecrans' army, at his request, sent him, in writing, their views of the best plan of operations from Tallahoma to Ghattanooga. GARFIELD'S VANITY. Garfield asked permission to give his views.

Rosecrans was surprised at the in delicate request, since Garfield, as chief of staff, knew all his superior's plans but he told Garfield he might write out his argu ment for exercise, but it must not be sent on to Washington. He showed Koaecraii the argument when written, and Rosecrane looked it over and laid it down or gave it back, lie was intensely surprised to learn. weeks afterward, that this plan was sent to Washington with others. Gar- beld vanity, said be, "and his in satiable itch for notoriety, ,1 for gave the onense and neve beard of the letter for years, until it was paraded as proof that Garfield had organized the campaign. The trouble with Garfield wats his bouudless ambition, lack of steadfast fealty to his friends, insincerity ani shift-lessness.

He was ambitious to command the armv of the Cumberland, and thus did things which would otherwise appear to have no other motive than a desire to injure me maliciously. Garfield was in Washington when Stanton was flooding tbe country with lies about me to counter act the feeling against him growing out of his order relieving me from the command of the army of the Cumberland and never said a word in refutation of these dastardly calumnies. His silence surprised me, and disgusted many of my friends. He knew the stories) were lies, and be should have said so. It was about this time that Stanton loaded him up with a major-general's commission, which he accepted, although he had announced his firm determination to enter political In his eulogy of Garfield, Mr.

Blaine said in his sketch that be did not make up his mind fully to go out of the army until the night before the Congress, of which he had been elected a member, met. "I have no doubt this is the exact truth. It only shows thk mam's weakness. It was only when he saw his military am bition was not likely to be further gratified that he finally let go. During Garfield's campaign Dana published an editorial in the San, over his own initials, charging Garfield with causing my removal from the army of the Cumberland.

I did not for a moment believe the charge could be true and wrote to Oarheld that as soon the canvass was over he ought to. nail this lie in history. I received a trashy and straight reply in whfch he assured mehe bad always eutei tained the htghest possible regard and affection for me and that the charge was false. Then be went on to say he bad always stood up for me and de fended me when my character had been assailed in any way, adding, 'even when I met Stanton in Louisville, after the battle of uhic-kamauga, 1 rebuked him for the harsh words be said about you in my pres ence, mat was tne nrst knew tbere had ever been such a meeting, and I thought it strange he should have brought it in in that connection. Not a great while afterward I received a letter from a friend who wrote to tell me of a conversation just had with General Stager, Tbe writer said Gen.

Stager, in the course of a chat on war matters, had given the particulars of what he had characterized as one of the strangest incidents he had ever witnessed. He had told about being pres ent at a meeting between Secretary Stanton and General Garfield, held in the Gait House in Louisville, on which occasion he had been astmusned beyond measure to hear Garfield denounce General Rosecrans in measured terms as a man utterly unfit to have command of an army, The writer was so thoroughly impressed with the importance ot this information that he asked me to file his letter among my private papers, adding, that be thought. whenever Ueneral stager could speak without jeopardising the large interests he was identified with, he would come ont with the whole story. Garfield's letter to me in reply to my dispatch prepared me for some such disclosures sooner or later. and I must confess I was not greatly sur prised.

Emigrant Passenger Bates Northern 'Pacific Bt Withdrawn O' her Items. Chicago, October 25th.

Papers heie declare a handbill came to a railroad man in this city, yesterday, from San Fran. Cisco, which is an index to a prodigious cut in transcontinental immigrant rates. The bill is published in Italian, and evi dently intended for the instruction of Italian immigrants who are looking toward home. It reads, tram' lated with sufficient literal ness, follows: "The lowest possible priced tick ets to the East and Europe is with thePenn sylvania Railroad line. Prices for New York, $47; Havre, France, Paris, $76; Genoa, Italy, $90; Milan, $99; Mar.

These roads are the shortest, fastest and best equipped of any transcontinental lines." It is contended this is a cnt of $27 50. It is not generally known how the burden of the cut is dis tributed, or how long it has been in progress.

A ticket broker said last night that he had received more emigrant tickets from San Francisco to New York in the last two weeks than he had before during the past two years. He also remembered that the majority of these tickets were for passage East on one particular road. northern pacific bet withdrawn. New York, October 25th.

Chicago, October 25th. The Tribune1 Washington special says: The Postmaster General has nearly completed his investi gations of the postal telegraph system. In response to a direct inquiry to-day, be said he had not absolutely reached hi conclusions, but that he should within two weeks, and that he weird present them to the President. Until then he would not eive any information as to his decision. Judge Gresbam said he bad been a very attentive reader of all that has been written on tbe subject in the press of the day, esiecially the Tribune's articles, and has collected valuable literature of all countries relating to the matter.

He expresses the opinion that a magazine article on postal telegraphy by Green, of the Western Unioo. evi dently represents the Western- Union side. and he does not think that it would have been published under the circumstances without having been submitted to a ma jority of tbe membrrs of that company. He is disposed to treat it at all events as an official statement as to the views of the telegranhic people. It is doubtful it Judge Gresham has intimated to any one what his recommendations will be.

but the impression of those nearest to him is that he will strongly favor a postal tele graph. EAST OAKLAND ITEMS. Specially Reported for The Tribune.

Since mulnight last night seven accidents htve happened upon the railroads of the Central Pacific, and it was not much of a time for accidents either. At 3 o'clock this morning a collision took place at Con-no. stktton, near' Suisun, between trains No. 8 and No. 9, i esulting in the ditching of nine cars and one engine.

There is no information as to the cause of the collision, but it is believed to have been causad through the careletwnesa of No. crew. The emigrant cars were on No. 8, and era expected to arrive this afternoon. None of the id grants or the crews cf either trxin were injured.

COLLISION AT PINO. This morning quite a setious accident htppeuel at alxmt fifteen miles from Pino, uear the summit. A couple of cars became detached from a freight train, and ran down the grrade, striking traiu No. 1 amidship, as it were. The force of the collision knocked the engine, rait car, mail and express cars and two freight cars off the track and piled them up in a broken mass in a ditch.

None of the passengers were injured, but the engineer of the passenger train was very seriously bruited. Had it Dot been that he stuck to his pose and backed his train as the runaways bore down on him, the lors of life would probably have been very lare, as all the couches were filled. acciijest at dwight's way. Local train No. 260 struck a wagon on Dwight's way last night.

The wagen was owned by a farmer named Pat Ksarn, who was, it is stated, drunk at the time. He was driving in an easterly direction, and after crossing the track turned to the right and drove up the track, one of his wheels being inside the rails. The train struck the wagon, tearing off a wheel and throwing Kearn out, who was badly bruised, but sustained no broken bones. The engine was slightly damaged. ACCIDENT at PORT COSTA.

Early this morning the yard men at Port Costa shoved some flat-cars too far west on the track. A gravel train came along and forcibly removed those cars, piling them in a heap by the side of the track, sadly d- moralized. The engine was considerably damaged by the Collision. A TBAMP CRUSHED TO DEATH. Early this morning the dead and frightfully mangled body of an unknown tramp was found upon the railroad track near Barrett station, by a party of section men.

The body was quite cold, and had evidently been dead fcr several hours. It is not known by which train he was killed, as dq report had been made of any such accident. The body was taken to Barrett's, and the authorities notified. The body was dressed in a dark brown coat, trowsers of a gray color and overalls, and Oxford tie shoes, and a black felt hat, much the worse for wear, was lying a few fett from the body. There was nothing on the body that would lead to identification.

The supposition is that the victim was stealing a ride out on the brake-beam of one of the cars on the midnight freight train, and slipping from his perch fell under the wheels and wa crashed to death, unknown to any of the crew of the train. ACCIDENT AT WEST OAKLAND. Train No. 2, the migrant train from the South, found an obstruction on the track early this morning, in the shape of a coal flat, which had been pushed off the end of the old Bcaie track. The engine struck the car and knocked it out in one round, receiving, however, considerable damage to it, frontispiece in the encounter.

None of the emigrants were hurt, although the jar caused them tc imagine that they had been overtaken by an earthquake, and the way in which they tumbled out of their berths and made for the open plains in the wilds 6f the raiiicad yards was marvelous to contemplate. A BIG ENGINE DITCHED. One of the monster engines used on the steep grades of the Sierras came to grief this niornin? and ran oS the track near Pino. The cause of the accident has not been ascertained. The engine was thrown over on its side, and the engineer and fireman barely escaped with their lives, saving themselves by jumping.

ACCOMMODATING THE PASSENGERS. In consequence of the numerous acci dents upon the road, it became necessary to make some provision for the transfer of passengers, accordingly the company ran a special train from Port Costa, conveying the Napa passengers who generally come in by the delayed train.

An attempt was made last night at nine o'clock to fire town. An unoccupied lodging house in the rear of the saloon of Moore Morrison, a connected building on Main street, was the spot selected.

Morrison, hearing the crackling of flames, became alarmed and rushed to the rear of the street, where the building was, gained an entrance and found a can of coal oil in flames in an empty room. The skylight had been opened to give fall draft to the names. He carried the flaming oil into the street and at a great risk saved the property and probably the town, as the night wa windy and a fire If fairly started, could act be otherwise than disastrous. Much Indignation is felt. No due as yet to the perpetrators.

Charlxstor, A. October 25th. An inspector of mines of Magdalene, Sonota, who has been Tombstone end vicinity negotiating mining property for General Pesquelra, was arrested this morning at OphoavCle, when, sbont to 7 depart ior Sonora, by order of Collector Clarke, and brought. to Charleston, for to report the Caetom No fraud being evident he was released upon pay meat of the iTnsnsss i A aambar of aaulee il riding i animals offered for sale by tbe shape of en insect) to fly by. Sometimes it is said to rouse itself; and make a descent upon the nest of some smaller bird, and eat all the little ones.

Certainly, one would not look for any sort of benevolence from euob a bird: sad yet it offers such a very striking and beautiful example of the begi n-at-borne- and-stay-there kind. The celebrated natnrsliat, Levaillant, who has told us so many interest! ok things about the birds of Africa and South America, says that he discovered a barbet's nest in which there were five birds. Four of them were young and vigorous, but the fifth was so old' and weak that when it was put into a cage with its comrades it could not move, but lay dying in the corner where it had been placed. When food was put into tbe cage tbe poor old bird could only look at it long- ingly, without having the strength to drag itself within reach of it. Then it was that the young birds manifested a singular spirit of kindness.

Quickly, and even with an air of tenderness, as it seems, they carried food to the decrepit old bird, and fed it as if it had been only a fledgling. Struck by this spectacle, the naturalist examined the nest from hich the birds had been taken, and found it was full of husks and the re mains of insects, showing plainly that the old bird, must have been maintained a long time by its vigorous companions, wbica probably were its own offspring-. Further study of other birds of the same species convinced tbe naturalist that it was the custom for the old and infirm birds to be cared for by the young and strong. Ihere are several different species ef barbets found in Africa and South America, and though not graceful in shape, many of them are exceedingly beautiful in plumage. They get their name of barbet from the French word barbe, meaning beard, because they have tufts of stiff hair at the base of the bilL Naturalists place them in a genus called tfueco, and some persona call them puff-birds, because they have an odd way of puffing out the feathers all over the body, whioh then looks more like a bale of feathers than a bird.

It is hard to act a part long. for. where trnth is not at the bottom, nature will always be endeavoring to return. and will peep out and betray herself one time or another. Tillotson.

A QUEER STORY.

William M. Nollfcon Claims that He was Mnrderoasly Asaaalted in Broad Daylight. William M. Neilson, the complaining witness in the Sharon adultery case, appeared yesterday before the prosecuting attorney in the San Francisco Police Court. He exhibited a slight cut under the eye and a swelling behind the ear, and charged that an attempt to murder him had been made by two unknown men wearing gauze veils, on California street, about 9 o'clock that morning.

On his way down town, while passing Leavenworth street, two men suddenly appeared, one on each side of him, and, without a word, one of them dealt him a.blow behind the right ear that brought him to his knees. As he was falling the other man atruck him in the face, cuttiug the flesh slightly nnder the eye. Neilson say be was momentarily stunned, but recovered the uae of himself on seeing them preparing to repeat their blows and sprang to bis feet, for a few seconds he succeeded in ward ng off their blows and made good ose of his lungs in yelling "Murder His cries attracted the attention of a group of marble-playing schoolboys half a block distant, and on their joining in his cries for help, his assailants fled and made good their escape. Both men. he claims, wore knuckles.

He thought he would be able to identify the men if brought face to face with them. A search for eye-witnesses of the affair developed the fact that a boy named reddie de Witt, rending on. Helen street. near California, had seen the attack and that Neilson had been struck on the ear so as to make him stagger. He did not fall to the ground.

Another boy named Gus Wil'iams, residing in tbe same neighbor hood, said that he saw a man wearing bras knuckles strike Neilson on the back of the bead and then runaway. No arrests have been made. .4 NO WELLINGTON COAL. The Strike of I he Miners Deprives the Market of Coal. Residents of Oakland ay not be aware of the fact that there is no Wellington coal to be had at any price.

Such is the case, however. In a conversation with Mr. Garber, of the firm of Garber Barstow, was learned that the Wellington mines had been shut down for some months in consequence of a strike among the miners, and that it was impossible to tell when there would be any. A circular has just Keen issued by the Miners' Mutual Pro tective Association. Under the head of An Impending Crisis" tbe circular an nounces that all the white men at the mine quit work on October 15th, in consequence ot the Btukers places having been failed by Chinese; the engineers refuse to loer or hoist the Mongolians until the strike is over; the blacksmiths refuse to sharpen the tool; that the fourteen white miners who went from this city by the steamer Wellington would not take up their picks; that the business men of Nanaitno, merchants and tradesmen are collecting money to circulate a petition throughout the Province of British Columbia, calling on the Provincial and Dominion Government to pass prohibitory laws not to allow Chinese to work undenrround in coal mts.

The miners appeal to their fellow-workers in California to stand bv them, and a nonnce that when the strike is over due notice will be given. PERSONAL MENTION. Mrs. Jndge Wheeler has returned home from vtua Springs. M.

Miss E. A. Rockwell, of San Francisco, well and favorably known as a portrait artist of rare merit, who has just returned from an extended Eastern trip, has been visiting Mrs. Colin M. Boyd, at her residence near Sao Leandro.

Miss Book-well, during her stay in New York, was selected and commissioned to proceed to Weihiogton to paint a life-sue portrait, in oil, of Judge Foiger, Secretary of the Treasury, which now adorns the walla of the Court of Appeals in Albany. An Unfortunate Han. Patrick Curren, a farmer living near Berkeley, Lvt evening; attempted to cross the railroad track in; front of the 6:15 Berkeley local as it was passing- the Shsi tuck avenue crossing. The locomotive track the hay wagon which he was driving, completely demolishing it, and throwing Mr. Curren violently to the ground, breaking his leg above the knee.

He was attended by Dr. Payne, who set the fractured limb, and the injured mma is resting as easily as could -be expected nnder the circumstances. Mr. Curren has been pecoliarily unfortunate In tbe course of his hi accidents having been exceedingly frequent ana serious. Within a year past wtile driving up one of the steep bills back of Berkeley, bis wagon slipped from the grade and he was picked np with a broken neck.

For a long time his life was despared of, but skillful surgery set the dislocated bone end he wee able to meet with the accident that happened to him last night. cracker on the premises while the mem bersof the.faiuily were sound. aleep, and the store catching ore was, with its con tents, entirely dextroyed. The eldest child, becoming suffocated by the smoke, was burned to death. Mrs.

Cotter, with her savings and a remittance which she had received from her brother in England. had in all the sum of $2,220, which she trustingly, yet unadvisely fcave to her husband, and by his advice the family then prepared for a trip to California. Tbey lived in San Francisco until February last when the husband again deserted his wile taking with him the three children and all that remained of the money. Mrs. Cotter was greatly distressed by the loss of her children but her search for them was un availing until Friday last she aicideetly encountered her runaway husbaud on the local train at West Oakland.

He tried to escape her but she followed him quietly nd saw that he took the train for San Leandro atj East Oakland. She too took that train land when htr husband trot off at San Leandro the did the same. With some difficulty she there discovered her three children, who, on seeing their well nigh distracted mother, ran to her arms in a transport of delight. The lady who bad the care of the children would not consent for the mother to take them away without the approval of the father, but promised to safely retain them for a week in her custody nntit the contest between the parents tor tneir possession was settled. Un sun day last it occurred to her that it might be as well to repeat her visit to San lieandro and see that no unfair advantage was being taken! of her absence.

Getting off at the depot in that town, she was surprised to see her husband, with the child ren, aoout poarding toe Atlantic express train for the Mr. (otter, on receiving the situation, fled for the shelter of the house where he had been staying. He was pursued by his wife, who, after a spirited straggle, recovered possession: of her children, who are now dwelling with her at her home in San Francisco. The truact Cosier has not turned up since, but his. wife is not much worried over his absence now that she has recovered her children.

ONLY A REDWOOD PILE. The Preli Miliary Skirmish' Between the City of Oakland and aBoat-Houie Proprietor. O. B. Fenner.

the proprietor of one of the Lake Merritt boat-houses, was arrested this morniD on a charge of violating a city ordinance in attempting to occupy i ana convert to nis own use ana benefit a portion of the municipal domain, to-wlt: Lake Merritt. It will be remembered that some time since Fenner made application to the City Council for the privilege of occupying a portion of the lake I 50 feet west of the location of his present boathouse. On the advice of ths City Attorney, wjio informed them that they had no power to grant private parties such privileges for private use, the reenest wan virtually denied, the Committee to whom the matter was referred never reporting the petition back to the Council. Yesterday City Marshal dough was informed that Fenner wasaboct to drive piles on tbe prohibited property and he immediately 6 wore out a warrar.t arresting Fehner this morning, just as he was in the act of dropping tbe hammer on the head of the pile. The City Marshal claims that Fenner hat been very arrogant in his holding of the property he now occupies, anl it is proposed to eject him from the premises whether be desires to go or not, provided he does not show a good title to the property.

Fenner was represented in the Police Court this morning by Henry Vfooman, who had the case continued until to-m rrow, when the preliminary contest between Fenner and his ponderous adversary (the corporation) will ttke place. I Fenner's defense is to the effect that ha had no intenti of encroaching on prohibited property, but simply desired to strengthen the underpinning of his boat-house. IN A MOUSE-TRAP. Bow the Trap Was Baited and the Game that Was Knticed. Into It.

Last Wednesday night, just before the train from Broadway passed Market street station, special officer Brown observed two men passing down the middle of Marktt i-treet, carrying two bundles. Their movements were suspicious and the officer watched them. They took a seat on a bench atj the station, and while Brown was observing them, regular officer Wilson came np and informed him of his suspicions. Soon after tbe two men crossed Seventh street to a saloon, and when the train approached re-apueared, but without their bundles. They boarded the train and, tbe officers entered the saloon.

The bandies were placed by the officers in the back room and the! saloonkeeper was instructed to direct anyone who called for them to the place where they were stored. The trap having been set and baited, the officers began their watch. They wera relieved at intervals, and yesterday morning about mx o'clock, detectives Holland and Sborey being'on duty at the door of the "mouse the mice were seen to enter. Entering the trap soon after the officers arrested Edward Wheeler and Frank Wilson, alias Chris VSogeler, with the stolen property in their possession.
