THE KELLY GANG.

We extract the following from --a, Victorian contemporary, with reference to the Kelly gang : — " Another wild rumour which has gained circulation is that news has by some means been brougat from I tti« outlaws' camp to the effect that a qaurrel took place between the brothers Kelly and Bj'rne and Hart. It is stated that during the altercation a desperate struggle ensued in which revolvers were freely used on both sides. To make the rumour still more sensational, thequarrelisßaidtohave ended in Byrne and Hart being shot dead by Ned and Dan Kelly. The rumours have caused a great deal of excitement, but lam inclined to put no confidence in them. Parties of troopers and black trackers are continually coming in and going out, but they do not appear to find a warm, or indeed any trail at all. Although the correspondent of the Herald does not credit the truth of the rumor, we shall not be at all suprised if it should turn out to be correct. It will be remembered that on the Bth inst^ we published under the heading of "A Dream," a letter from a correspondent who related that a friend of his had dream't that he had met the two Kellys, and upon his remarking * how is it I see only two of you, when we always look for four as your party 1 ' The brothers looked very black, told him to mind his own business, and replied, "Two's as good as four for you." At the same time we thought. the interviewer of the Kelly's had been dreaming with his eyes open, and are still of that opinion. With such a large reward offered for their apprehension, the two Kellys must have distrusted their companions for. a, long time, and would not hesitate a moment in putting them out of the may if they saw the slightest reason for doing so."
