Four more, jnst received, are in the office of tbe secretary of war. and will today be tent to the chief of engineers. Unless otherwise direct 4 by congress, the secretary of war will deem it hia duty in the exercise of the discretion vested in him by law, to grant permita in all of theae case and upon all other similar application by citisen ot the United States; provided that tbe proposed work does not affect navigation."

These lessons have not been forgotten, and in tbe im mediate districts there have been no repetitions of the trouble. The authorities are giving the Ques tion considerable attention, and every effort will be made to insure the public lety, for on this depends the future of the country. England'a policy in India ia frequently discussed, and her swift and severe punishments are looked upon aa model peacemaker. The arma were probably captured from commis sary trains."
