An Es Cofcfederate'fl Kutlmation of the Great War CttptHlu. Fpeciat to the Fentinel. WAüii.MiroN, April s. Judge T. J. üscfcey, of Sc nth Carolina, now a mmberof Ibe Washington bar, and formerly a Mnjor in the Confeierate Arruy, in rptatin? of Grant and the general sympathy expressed for biai in the Southern States by ex-Cijn'ederate eoldie;?, made the following: atateruent to the Sentinel correspondent to night: "I was the Jq16 ot the Sxth Circuit of South Carolina when Geoeral Grant pasaei through that State in 1ST! en route to Mexico. He was accompanied by General Sheridan and a small party of friends. I was appointed chairman of a committee of ex Confederates of Chester County to meet Grant and escort him to Chas ter, my Circuit extending to the northern limit of South Carolina. We performed that duty and on oar arrival at the, Chester depot over one thousand ex-Confederates were in line and gave nine ( beers for General Grant with the old Confederate zeal as a User. General Grant stepped on the platform, and when I preened him the Confederates called out: "Don't introduce him, Jude; we all know Grant." Gen. Grant addressed them briefly. At other stations along the route he met with a similar nc Hon. On bis arrival at Columbia, Capt W. Ii. Stanley, the Mayor of the city, with the Common Council, boarded the train. They were all ex-Confederates. They ottered to General Grant the freedom of the city, and informed him that they bad provided a banquet in his honor. He expressed ids regret that his acceptance of a public reception to be given him at August i that evening would deprive him of the pleasure of enjoying the hospitalities of the t)jty of Columbia. A noteworthy incident occurred as the train was entering Columbia. General Grant pointed to tvo fire-blackened chimneys which recalled the turning of that city by the Federal forces in lf-;, ia!d: "I snppojt tlicie are two of Sherman's monuments V I aniwertd, "Yts, General, they arfl; and they are not the meat honorable columns of victory that a soldier can leave behind him in his own country." General Grant replied, Well, I made war on armies.' I raid, 'We know that, and for that reason Confederate eoldiers gather everywhere to honor yon as a eoldier to day. General Sheridan, who was near by and who, in view of his blazing campaign in the Shenandoah Valley, was doubt!es rensltlve on this subject, obierved to General Grant: 'I believe some houses burned in your lines nrar Richmond.' Gen. Grant answered: There was a U.e a elling burned in the vicinity of Richmond snd ths Ilicbmond newspapers stated that it was the residence of the Con federate secretary Governor Eeddon that it was burned for that reason. I investigated the matter, and found that some of our men were spend ing the night it against orders, and it was accidentally set on lire, the men losing a portion of their equipments. The only building that I know was inten tlohally burned in my lines during the war was a small hotel at Jackson, Mies. The proprietor had treated eomeof our soldiers while pr'coners with great harshnr?, and when they weae relent d by the fall of Yickaburjr, they retaliated in this form. I ordered an investigation, but did not press it on learning the facts." "General Grant's progress," continned Judge Mackey, 4 through the State was a real triumphal march, and when he reached Beaufort to take chip he was received with a ia!ute of one hundred gans, fired by the Ancient and Honorable Artillery, an organization over K0 years, old and conipoitd chiefly of survivors of the garrison of Fort Sampler. General Grant will have no more sincere monrners when he die than ex-confedcrate toidiers. Throws Himself Upon the Slercy of ths Comt. Special to the Pentlnel. Washington, April ,s William A.

New Yokk, April 8. General Grant passed a very quiet night. There was no reenrrence of the hemorrhage, and the oflicial belletins cf the medical attendants were quite reassuring. The rain poured down in tcrreuls at intervals and the only persons whe raced the etreels were the watchful policemen and reporters. About :''0 ex-Sen-aton Chafle and U. S.

An Indian rprUtuc Threatened Government Troop l.-k Provisions. WiNMrr.cj, Man., April The various military detaclimenta are being hurri d forward as fast as possible. A messenger from Prince Albert eays there are provisions there for three weeks only, and if relief does not come by that time the police and settlers will be forced to surrender to the rebels. Tte troops ramped Monday night twelve miles out of Fort (nappslle. They suffered terribly from cold, the niercory falling from -0 degrees above to '20 degrees below zero. The wind blew thirty miles per hour, end had a clear sweep across the prairie and through the camp. The following intellljenre has bosn received from Calgavry: "Fort MacLeod is tbreataned. and an Indian uprising ran not any longer to prevented by the go:d ollnes of Fere Lacombe." A special dispatch received by courier at the volunteer headquarters from Ma:Lod has caused great uneasiness. The Gros Ventres Indians are north of the international boundary, and on the war path Ibe South Pigeons and Bloods have formei an alliance. The tobacco sent from Rial's Indians to the Gros Ventres was sometime ago accepted, thus showing that Uiel has laid a conspiracy, in which the Milk River Indians will play an important part. Captain Stewart, who is still here waiting a dispatch, eays matters look very bad in those districts. Women and children and thoa incapable cf bearlrg arms are flocking to Port MacLeod for protection. Colonel Strange is in constant communication with the threatened points, and is doing his utmost to pnt everything in this dhtrict on a defensive basis. The Blackfeet did not meet Captain Cotton at the crossing to day according to agreement. This looks omnloas. Troops ahoild b sect to this district without delay, because they will be needed immediately. An applkatJon to military headquarters has been made for them. Colonel MacLeod is at Fort MacLeod. He has great influence with the Bloods, but they are acting ugly. A detachment of volonte era has just left for Geicben, where the railway authorities are afraid of the Black-feet.
FROM ACROSS THE SEi.
The Prince and rrinceps of Wales are (Wen an Enthusiastic Reception at Dublin Yesterday. An Impreesivo Scene at the Grand Durbar, Given in Honor of tho Ameer, at Itawil-Pindo. THE ROYAL VISITORS. Reception of the 1'rlnee nml Frlncess of Wales at Dablln. Drnux, April 8. The Prince and Princes3 of Wales and their eldc-t son, Prince Albert Victor, slept cn board the royal yacht Osborne at Holyhead last nizht. They left Holyhead at 5:15 this morning and arrived at Kingstown at 11:30. The Osborne was escort d across the channel by the Rnchantress, a paddle-wheel yacht belonging to the navy. Large numbers of people had assembled upon the decks to j;:eet tha royal visitor!. Kingstown is crowded with people, and the town is prolnsely decorated with flags and burting. Numbers of excursion steam ers thronged the bay, decked out with gaycolored banting, and six vessels of the Ctaonel Squadron were In waiting, arrayed with the (lags of all nations and brilliant with varie-colored streamers. The Odborne was sighted when still ten miles out at tea, and as she drew nearer was greeted with salves of artillery from the men-of-war. When the Osborne touched the pier and the royal party disembarked the throng raised a loud and enthusiastic cheer. Dublin piesenta a lively appearance, but there are many indications that there is no preat popular enthusia?ra. Outside the route ot the procession the decoration of the city is far from general. Another Hag has been substituted for the missing one, and this is now tloatiog ever tbe Mansion House. Karl Spencer, Lurd Lieutenant of Ireland, received the Plnce and his party, and the town commission presented an address of welcome. Ihe Princess at the eame time was made the recipient of numerous l)oqcetu The crowd, which numbered thousands, kept up a continuous cheering during the recepliou, aud cheered loud and long as tbe roval guuts proceeded to Dublin. They arrived at Dublin at J o'clock, and were ac corded a splendid reception. In answer to the addreea cf welcome presented to him .by tbe citizens committee, the Prince said be was delighted to renew his acquintance with Dublin. In Ihe passage through the streets of the city the party were everywhere rested with enthusiasm. Tho houses on both sides of the avenues along which they proceeded were ndcrned with beautiful decorations and the windows and roofs were crowded with spectators eagar to catch a glimpse of the fatare King and tQeen. Along the route of the royal procession, on its way to Dablln Csstl, manv ner;ons were crowded In past the escort ot Jancer?. The Prince of Wales took alt these irregularities Kood naturedly, and reassured the displaced ipfctabprs by shaking hands cordially with all of them within his reach. Earl Srencer, tbe Irih Viceroy, was loudly cheered us he drove through the streets of Dnblin in the procession. Lord Mayor John O'Ccnner, who is a atrong Nationalist, but who drove in cltk'.&l state with tbe royal nccrt. was lcndly hissed by tha nationalists. Not a .s'gn of welcome is visible on tho City Hall of Dublin, and this fact stands out so consplcnously as to cause comment. A grand stand bad been erected at the railway fetation, when the train bearing the royal party arrived from Kiingstown. and an immense crowd had afssubled. When the Prince and Princsm alighted they were greeted with tremendous cheering. They were escorted to the grand stand, whera a large representative gathering had assembled. Hue, when the enthusiasm of the crowd had been quieted, the address of welcome by the DaLlin Chamber of Commerce was read. This addrtfis dwelt specially upon the beneliceiit influence whicn the visit of the Prince and Princess would exercise upon the welfare of De)and. It alluded also to tbe lstors of the Piinc in the cane ot housing the poor cf London, tbe address said, of great interest to many people in the Irish capital. When the procession was about to etart from the station, several bands gained forces in rendering the air of ' God Bless the Prince of Wales." For a time considerable excitement was occasioned by some trouble to tbe royal carriage, which the populace, not understanding, exaggerated. When the horses drawing the carriage emerged from the depot they were frightened by the sight of the crowd and tbe glare of uniforms. The animals shied and pranced around for a fsw moments, and it was feared they would break away and overturn the vehicle. But tho driver in a short time had the animals quieted and nnder perfect control. This episode delayed the procession a short time, when it again moved oil" in perfect order. The route was through Westland Row, Lincoln l'lace, Nassau street and Grafton street to College Green, where the first stop was made. The Creen was litterally packed with one solid mass of cars, carriages and people afoot. Th9 advent of the royal Tarty was hailed with tremendous cheering. One of tbe features of the procession was the presence of a msrehing lorce of students. They numbered an even thousand, were jauntily dressed, bore walking sticks aa arms, carried two Union jacks for banners, and made tbe streets resoncd with their cheery and lusty singing of "God Save the Queen." The Princess of Wales captured the populace at sight. Tbe refined beauty of her face and the elegance of her figure were meat artistically f.et off in a special costume of green, which had been made for the occasion. The dress was composed ot a closefitting dark creen velvet bodice, with a silk skirt to match and a princess bonnet trimmed with beads and lirk green feathers. This tribute to the Irish colors, so deftly and beautifully made, was instantly recognized by ths people, and her Jtoyat Highness was everywhere greeted with applause. After luncheon at Dublin .Castle, which was over at about 3:Vj In the afternoon, the Prince and party proceeded to the Roval Dublin Society's show at Ball's Bridge. The Royal escort on this trip wai composi of tbe Hussars. This escort was preceded by Earl Scencer, escorted by the Lancers. At Ball's Bridge the reception was just as enthusiastic as the one on College Green, and the cheering along the route was hearty and unanimous. The exhibition was varied, cue of the features bei eg a series of extra-
ordinary jumping feats. The grandstand, which had been altered for the occasion, was crowded with prominent persons. AFGHANISTAN.

The Grand Darbar in honor of the Ameer, tt-day, was a great success and presented a brillant and impressive scene. The Viceroy sat upon a dais with the Ameer upon his right hand and the Duke of Connaaght upon his left. After valuable presents had been ofl'ered, the Ameer, in-a brief speech, acknowledged his obligations to the Queen and the Viceroy for the many favors extended him, and stated that he would render every service in the power cf his army or his people. As the British had pioruued to help the Afghans best oil" any external enemies, the Afghans would in the firmest manner stand side by s!do with the British against a common enemy.
