Major General Judson Kilpatrick, one of the most notable and dashing cavalry com­manders in the Union army, was placed in command of a cavalry division, embracing one brigade under Custer and another under Farnsworlh, a few days before the Gettys­burg battles. Both Custer and Farnsworth were officers ou General Pleasonton’s staff the day previous to their promotion to the command of a brigade, and they were both gallant officers.

An attache of tlio Republican, then a war correspondent of the New \ork Herald, was with Kilpatrick at Hanover, when his division fought the first battle and won the first victory on the tree soil of the North, completely routing Stuart’s cavalry.

General Farnsworth was killed in the last day’s battle at Gettysburg.

General Kilpatrick’s description of the fearful ride at night in pursuit of the rebel train is vividly correot, so far as the thru correspondent of the Herald can testify from his own personal knowledge; but that knowledge was limited by a halt at Mon­terey Springs, at two o'clock in the morning, and a capture at five by a North Carolina brigade under command of the rebel Gen­eral Iverson.

General Kilpatrick lias recently become associated in the publication of a New Jer­sey monthly under the name of Our Jlaga zine, and the following, written by him, is copied from i t :

In the April number of the Galaxy an ar tide appeared entitled “ late at Gettysburg,’ written by General Imboden, of the late Confederate army, which, on account of its source, has attracted much attention, espe dally among military men. During the war the writer found time to take very complete notes of what transpired under his own oh servation, of the various army movements in which he participated, and of the men who played leading parts in the great drama of the rebellion.

After reading General Imboden's article in the Galaxy, I was so struck with its mani­fest injustice to our cavalry, to say nothing of the false impression it is calculated to give of the real cause of Leo's great disas­ter at Gettysburg, that I determined to give to tlie public some recollections of that im port ant and decisive campaign ; and in do­ing so I beg leave to sav to the readers

movements. Not only do these orders of Lee to his troops indicate a previous design on his part to fight the Army of the Po­tomac at Gettysburg, but if the reader will place one point of a pair of dividers at Get­tysburg ou the map, and make a circle with a rad iu s of the distance to York, it will be found that all of Lee's columns were within this small circle oil the twenty-ninth of June, when the Union army first drew near him; showing that Ijcc had chosen the nigged Country about Gettysburg as the spot on which he could must quickly mass his forces for battle.

General Imboden said in his article that ‘General Lee's opinion was that he lost the i

battle because Pickett was not supported as he was to have been,” referring, of course, to the last great charge on the third of July. The truth is, Lee lost the battle because he was compelled to give battle to the Army of the Potomac, when he intended to con­duct his march in such a manner that ho could concentrate all his forces at any mo­ment to be in position, selected by himself, to receive battle; for although he knew that he outnumbered our army many thousand men. yet ho knew also by sad experience that he could not give open battle to the Army of the Potomac.

Ou the first of July, while the corps of the Union army were all swiftly marching on the different roads, Buford’s cavalry, which had passed through Gettysburg, going west

(From the Davenport, Iowa, Democrat,)One of the most distressing as well as

mysterioilB occurrences whieh we have been called upon to record for a long time took

•place in our city last evening. A young girl of sixteen years, named Kate Kuminer- felt, whose parents reside iu the western part of the city, deliberately “slmtlied off' this mortal coil'- try jumping into the Mis­sissippi, near the lyot of Ripley street. The act seems to be entirely premeditated on the part of the girl, but no sufficient reason can be thought of by atiy one for tht rash

* performance. She was seen to commit the deed by Mr. Jasper Martens, in whose boat she made the fatal leap, but before he could possibly reach her she was out of sight and rose no more. Search was immediately in­stituted und kept up till a late hour last night, and again this morning, when about ten o’clock the body was found quite near the shore. She had left her outer garments upon the boat, and in the pocket of her dress was found the following letter to her parents:

‘‘Farewell, dear father and mother! I hope you will not be frightened. I am tired of this bad world. I want to go to God and see my little sister and brother. I shall write this letter myself, as good as I can, but probably you can not read it. Here is something for my mother. There is no cause for this act, you can depend upon that. Virtuous I have always been; pure is my soul; but I have always kept it to my­self, so that others might not make sport of me. Now let me hasten to my home—on the happy way to heaven. I will find the the way about as far as it, as God is above me he will cheer me up. Before me is the water, above me is the moon. Give my best respects to all my friends. And now, fare­well. KATE KUMMEUFELT.”

This is all jthere is left to show for what reason the suicide was committed, small though it be. During the day she had been at Washington Garden, seeming to enjoy the German holiday, as merry as anyone; a fact whieh makes the act" seem even more strange and mysterious. Coroner Tomson held an inquest this noon upon the remains upon the river hank where the body was found, and gave a verdict in accordance with the above tacts.

[From the Pittsburg Gazette, Way 1J The nails were driven homo- iu the coffin

of The Paper yesterday by Acting Sheriff William Diehl, Esq., under whose hammer ■was sold all of its type, machinery, office fixtures and press. We had hoped that our short-lived Democratic contemporary, which while it lived, was creditable to theparty it e.Roused, to the local press here, and to the city and State, would be revived again, but with the sale of yesterday theenterprise is dead beyond resurrection The Paper establishment throughout was one of the best fitted in the country, indeed from press-room to composing room it was truly gorgeous. Walnut cases, Brussels carpets, elegant furniture, and all the ap­pointments in keeping, combined to make this Democratic newspaper office a model of magnificence and grandeur. But the patronage extended this new paper was limited, and so far as the party was con­cerned, ungenerous, :i ml the bright,dreams of its conductors were never realized, and the sheriff came knocking at their doors.

The sale yesterday was well attended, principally hy newspaper men of the city and several from abroad. The press, a modem four cylinder Hoe, which cost about $20,000, was knocked down at $12,200 to T. M. Senior, Esq . representing the Roches­ter (New lork) Democrat. This wa6 a great bargain, as tho press is entirely new, hav­ing been used to print only about seventv- five editions of The Paper. ‘Colonel William Ramsey bought several thousand pounds of *ew type at from eleven to thirteen cents per pound, which cost much more, aud will bring a handsome profit to the purchaser if

-sold for old metal. The; engine, which cost $750, was sold to Hoe &z Co., New York, for $220. The furniture « throughout was “picked up” at cheap figures by the differ­ent newspaper proprietors in attendance. The sale will hardly net $15,500 all told, and falls far short of meeting the liabilities •of the dead journal. Thus closes an inter- -csting chapter in the history of newspaper Adventures in this city.

won the first victory on the free soil of the North, at Hanover,' Pennsylvania, and struck Lee's shattered army the last blow at Williamsport and Falling Waters as it tied, wrecked aud ruined, across the Poto­mac, over which it had so proudly marched a short two weeks before.

General Imboden, of course, writes about what he remembers of that campaign, and boldly draws conclusions without taking iutef consideration any of the many great difficulties which the Union cavalry met and overcame in the sixteen days of battles and marches from Aldie to Hanover and from Hanover to Falling Waters.

The opinion long prevailed, and even now is widely entertaiued, that the battle-fields of the rebellion wfre never fair tests of the relative during, ability, energy and forti­tude of the resj»ective combatants—that the rebel armies were defeated by numbers alone, and that brute force, and not true bravery, crushed the Southern cause. There never was a greater mistake; there never was more injustice done a gallant people: aud since Confederate generals have laid aside the sword from necessity, and have now taken up the pen, it is proper that these erroneous impressions should be sub­jected to the test ot actual historical facts. Certainly it cannot- be claimed that in the Gettysburg campaign the preponderance of numbers was ou the side of the Union army. -

Since the death of the confederate chief, General Lee, his friends have spared no pains to immortalize his name, and convince the world that he was a great general. With this object iu view, General Imboden no doubt wrote bis article for the Galaxy, and while I would not detract a feather's weight from the just fame of any soldier, federal or confeder&te, yet I submit to Gen­eral Imboden that it would have been bet­ter for his purpose, and added more to the tame of Lee, if be had written his recol­lections of some one of Lee's defensive bat ties or campaigns, in whieh alone he was great. General Lee was unfortunate in all bis great advance movements, aud always met with disaster, whenever he essayed offensive battle. In 1802, after McClellan’s retreat from in front of Richmond, Leo quickly started northward, thinking to crush Pope and McDowell before McClel­lan's troops could he brought up lrorn tho Peninsula. Jackson had already fought tho battle of Cedar Mountain aud returned across the Rapidan, when Lee joined him, and rapidly advancing northward, under cover of lofty mountain ranges, through our carelessness, ignorance, or utter in­difference, was enabled to debouch through Thoroughfare aud Ashby’s Gaps, and get into position on the bills beyond before Generals Pope aud McDowell wore ready to meet him; and yet lie preferred to re­ceive rather than give battle. Winning tho fight next day, almost without a struggle, he quickly moved on, orossed the Potomac, and, just beyond, gave battle; and although his army was fresh from recent victories, he was defeated in two engagements and driven with heavy loss hack across the Po­tomac by the rallied fragments of the Army of the Potomac, led by McClellan. And his last grand offensive campaign, culmi­nating in disaster aud ruin to his army and the confederacy at Gettysburg, even con­vinced him, if it did not his historians, that be could not plan and successfully carry out an offensive campaign.

Gettysburg was the direct result of Chancellorsville. although it is not gener­ally so understood'. Hooker's disastrous retreat, with a vastly superior force, from his own chosen position at Chancellorsvillo, inspired Lee with contempt for Hooker and our army, and led him to believe that the Army of the Potomac would be but a slight obstacle to a marcli upon Washington, Bal­timore, and possibly tho cities further North. In fact Lee contemplated just such a march through the North as Sherman afterward made through Georgia and the Carolinas; and there can be no doubt that lie intended to plant bis standard over tlio city of New York, and dictate terms to the people of the North. Inspired with this hope, Lougstreet s splendid corps was brought up from Suffolk, and added to Lee’s army, swelling it to about 90,000 men. With this great army, flushed with recent victory, Lee struck his tents and started upon his last great offensive c-ampagin. Swittly marching through Culpepper he crossed the Blue Ridge Mountains, and massed in tho valley beyond. Then send­ing his cavalry under Stuart, Hampton and Fitz Lee, through Ashby’s Gap, as a feint on Washington, aud to delay the Army of the Potomac, the heavy columns again moved out iu a rapid march for the upper fords of the Potomac.

Ewell's corps, far in advance, soon reached Pennsylvania, and ou the twenty fourth of June the two corps of Hill aiid Longstreet reached Hagerstown, thus giv­ing Lee, with the troops he had picked up along the valley, over 100,000 mep. Hook­er’s army numbered less than 80,000. Up to ibis time Lee's invasion had been a most complete success: but as yet he had met with little or uo opposition. Mountain ranges concealed hiR grand movements, while his cavalry and detached divisions of infantry spread terror and ruin iu all direc­tions. On the twenty-ninth, while the corps of llill and Longstreet were at Chambers- burg, west of Gettysburg, Ewell’s corps at York, Jenkins’ rebel brigade’in sight of Harrisburg, and rebel cavalry near Balti­more, Lee heard for the first time that the Army of the Potomac had reached Fred­erick City, and was marching to strike him in dank. He instantly started the corps of Hill and Longstreet toward Gettvsburg to meet the Army of the Potomac, ‘and sent couriers after Ewell with orders to return to the nme spot.

Lee’s real objective point is. I believe, as yet unknown—yet tbero can lie no doubt that his great desire was to meet and dis­pose of the Army of tho Potomac first, and then let circumstances determine his future

on the Ccorps of Hill and instantly gave battle. Dismounting his carbineers, the gallant Buford fought desperately, disputing the ground inch by inch with the advancing rebels, who swung line after line of in­fantry upon his flanks, alid pressed resist- lessly on the centre with troops in column and batteries of artillery. The heroic Reynolds, with the first corps, hastened on toward the rear of Buford’s battle, and, dashing through Gettysburg, met the ex­ultant rebels ou Seminary Ridge beyond, and threw his veterans against the over­whelming odds. Scarcely had the battle opened when Reynolds, far in advance, was killed by a discharge of musketry, aud Doubleday took command.

Let the reader imagine a broad turnpike, running straight westward from Gettysburg, across an open country slightly rolling, with rich tarms. orchards and scattered groves. Two miles be.vond Gettysburg, ou this highway, the first corps is stretched across the pike and fields along a little ridge, desperately fighting twice its num­bers in the beat aud dust of a July day. Noon comes aud passes, with no help for the Spartan band, and the rebel lines are steadily swinging further and further around the first corps’ flank, when, at one o’clock, Howard arrives. Barlow and Schnrz's di­visions dash into line on the right of the first corps, and Steinwelir's division halts on Cemetery ridge. Untilnearly four o 'clock the decimated divisions struggle against Hill’s sixteen thousand men, and not until the corps of Ewell came in from York and struck our heroic troops in flank and rear, did they yield the field. There were now forty thousand rebels against less than six­teen thousand of our men, and soon the hard-pressed lines gave way, and, finally, broke into retreat aud ruslieil tumultuously back through the town; but just as all hope seemed lost, the guns ou Cemetery ridge blazed forth, cheeked the wild pursuit aud enabled the w^iry columns to reform.

The losses mut beeii awful. Tho Iron Brigade whieh went into action in the morn iug with over 1800 men, reached Cemetery Ridge with only 700; and the brigade at its side whieh counted 1500 at noon, lost 1380 before the sun went down. The rebel Gen­eral Hill, who had been ordered bv Lee to take and hold the ridge at all hazards, amazed at the splendid fighting of our handful ot brave men, made no further efforts to carry the chosen position, and thus lost to Lee the battle line of Gettys­burg. All the next day he made desperate efforts to seize the decisive points in our line, but was everywhere me.t and hurled back, and the morning of the second of Julv found the two great armies facing each other across an extended plain cov­ered with heaps ot dead and wounded, swollen and blackening in the hot summer sun. »

On the evening of the second, just after ♦ he sixth corps had so magnificently re­pulsed the last desperate charge of the enemy at Round Top. Meade gathered his generals about him, aud the anxious inquiry was, “what shall we do now ?” As yet nobody knew whether the whole of the rebel army was in our front or not, and it was said that while Hill and Longstreet's corps were holding the army of the Potomac at Gettysburg, Ewell, with Stonewall Jack- son’s fatuous flauking corps, was marching iast our right and rear upon Baltimore aud iVashiugtou; and had General Lee been the

great general his friends would have the world believe, that is just what he would have done. Had he done so, the army of the Potomac would have had no alternative but to fall hack, and that with the ac­knowledgement of defeat and prospect ot utter ruin. No one felt like sleeping that night, and while general headquarters were busy planning for the coming morrow, the Secret Service Department was closely examining every prisoner brought in for information from the enemy. About nine o'clock a fresh squad of prisoners was brought in from the front, and as one of General Sharpe’s staff was questioning them, the General suddenly started up, ex­claiming:

“ Why that man’s regiment is in Ewell’s corps. Prisoner, what’s your brigade ?”

“Hays' Louisiana brigade, replied the man.

“Whose division V’“General Early’s.”“I told you so," cried Sharpe to the group

of officers about him, “Ewell is here; tho whole rebel army is in our front, and I am off to tell General Meade;" and springing upon his horse he galloped away to head quarters. Other prisoners confirmed the story, and that information removing all thought of falling back, daylight found our lines all strengthened, and resolved to fight it out then and there.

All are familiar with the great battle of the next and last day. Had I time, I should like to describe fully the scene as it ap­peared on that July day. .What a picture might be drawn ! the groups of rebel horse­men beyond the valley—evidently officers studying our positions; white-topped wagon trains far beyond the openings in the woods, moring slowly along; the bands playing among tho troops, and everybody wondering if there would be another fight. Then the signal of attack, tho terrible ar­tillery fire, the splendid advance of the rebel columns, the magnificent cavalry en­gagements on the right, between Glister, and Gregg, and Hampton; the desperate charges of tho old third cavalry division, and the regular brigade ion the tiank of Longstreet’s charging columns (although General Imboden says in his article that no cavalry attack was made upon the flanks), and the final repulse and defeat of the rebel army—all this I should liko to give in de­tail—but I must hurry on over the moun­tains to Hagerstown and Williamsport, where General Imboden with 2100 men saved tho rebel army and Richmond to tlio confederacy for a year or two longer.

The next day Lee gathered his shattered army about him aud started for the Po­tomac. At daylight ou the morning of the fourth, I received a communication from General Pleasonton. complimenting; iu the name of General Meade, the cavalry under my command, for^ts daring and successful operations on the enemy’s right flank, at the critical moment of the great attack of the day before. With this ca me an order direct­ing me to march with all haste across the mountains aud striko the routed foe, now in full retreat, in flank and rear—burn bridges, obstruct the roads and delay liis march at all hazards. Generals Meade and Pleasan­ton's grateful acknowledgement of duty nobly done hy the cavalry was received by those tired troopers with the wildest de­monstrations, aud forgetting the hardships of the last six days and nights of incessant battles and marches, they hailed with de­light the bugle's call, and in less than twenty minutes were oft on their rapid march.

At Emmetsliurg a brigade of Gregg’s di­vision joined us, giving me three brigades and sixteen pieces of artillery.

Here we heard that a large wagon train, guarded by cavalry, was passing over the mountain from Gettysburg to my right. I liad intended to pass further down, along the eastern side of the mountain, and cross opposite Sinoketown, and place my com­mand in front, ou tho line of the rebel re­treat. But now, satisfied that it was too late, I determined to strike the train at the nearest point; so turning sharp to the right, off we dashed, and in less than an hour were

rapidly marching up tho narrow mountain road.

Night had now como on, and I began to realize for the first time the perilous task before us. We were upon a narrow winding road—but two horsemen could ride abreast— steep acclivities rose up along our right, and our left was flanked by chasms aud deep gorges, through which rushed a moun­tain stream, swollen by the heavy rains which now came down in torrents.

Through the pitchy darkness of the night not a foe could be distinguished; but the steady tramp of the horses, the ring of steel scabbards, and the stern command from time to time, “Close up!” “Steady, men!” could be heard for miles far dawn in the valley below, as the anxious i^lumn'pressed up toward the mountain top.

Young Castor’s Michigan brigade had the front, with division headquarters escort, un­der Captaiu Jones, iu advance. A brave boy four d at one of the mountain houses, who was acting as our guide, now told ns that we weiD nearing the top; a moment later we made a turn to the right, and suddenly came lull upon the enemy. The challenge, “ Who comes there!" was instantly followed hy the rapid discharges of artillery and musketry in our very faces.

For a moment all was confusion, but tbe troops quickly recovered, and dashing for­ward. captured the artillery and four hun­dred prisoners.

The enemy’s wagon train could now be distinctly heard rolling ou down the moun­tain road not half a mile away.*

“There goes their train,” shouted Custer. “Yes, I hear it: what’s to he done ?” “Why, go for it, that’s all.”“Will you lead V “Of course I will.”“Hold on, then, till we can give them

some artillery, and under cover you can charge.”

The artillery was brought np, and opened on the train, a citizen directing where to tire. Then Custer, at the head of his gal­lant brigade, dashed down the road through the flight.

The artillery ceased firing, and we held our breath in excited expectation. Five minutes hardly had elapsed w hen wo heard our bugles sounding the charge. Then came a crash of musketry, mingled with tho wild shouts of the men as they charged upon the train. In a moment all was over. Custer struck the train, and then facing in the di­rection of Gettysburg, held the road, while the entire column passed on down to the valley below. Here, parking and burning a wagon train over five miles long, we moved on to Smoketown, where we successfully repulsed an attack made by Stuart anil drove him off in tbe direction ot Hagers­town. Lee all this time was pressing on by a different route to tbe Potomac.

Buford, in tbe meantime, had crossed South Mouniain, and early in the morning of this day sent me word that a large wagon train was parked at Williamsport, and that he intended to destroy it, and asked me to hold the roads from the direc­tion of Hagerstown. About two o'clock P. M. we heard his artillery, and knew lie was at work. We had been fighting Stuart’s cavalry all day, and could have held for­ever the roads and high hills against this foe; hut now word was brought that rebel infantry was moving up the road, not two miles away. 1 knew that 1 could resist but an hour more at best. Lee's army was nearing Hagerstown, so, leaving a brigade under Richmond, with Elder’s battery, to hold the road to the last. 1 sent word to Bu­ford that if the train was to be burned it must be done within tho next hour, and that if he would press forward, Custer would charge.

He answered back, “all right; in ten minutes I will advance, and then you pitch in.”

Cluster had already formed his command — Hamilton and Pennington galloped down with their guns aud unlimbered within less than eight hundred yards of the enemy’s position, in spite of tlie terrible tire from twenty pieces of artillery. Every moment was precious—twice bad Fitz Hugh Lee desperately charged the position held by the gallant Richmond. Once his troopers rode over Elder's battery—hut thev were driven back, and again the guns blazed forth. At last Custer was ready—it had seemed an age—his bugles sounded the charge, and then the lines dashed forward ; two regiments hail reached the enemy's fiank, hundreds of wagons were already in a blaze, fired bv Buford’s men, and in five minutes more, Imboden, with all bis wagons, prisoners and Aounded, would have been ours, when an officer, covered with blood, dashed up from the rear, with word from Richmond that he could not hold his posi­tion another minute. In fact he was now- falling back, but fighting. Infantry was [iressing ou his centre and masses of ca­valry were sweeping oil his flanks ; twice I ordered Custer to retire, but it took a third order to force him from the fight, and then only when he saw that ruin and capture awaited us if delayed another moment. Word was sent to Buford that we must re­tire. The brigades were then united, and we all fair slowly back, disputing every inch of ground till night came on. .

Let me repeat. Lee's original and irre­trievable error was bis failure to seize and bold the line of hills at Gettysburg, and more particularly Culp’s Hill, the com­manding point of our position. Once hav­ing lost this golden opportunity, and Reynolds and Buford having secured the position for our own army, his experience of the skill of our officers, aud the spirit of our troops, should have deterred him from attacking onr lines even with his superior numbers. But recent success bad effaced the memory of Ant-ietam. He hurled his army against the firm front of the army of the Potomac, and they were dashed to pieces. It may be that his broken and dis­organized command ought not to have been suffered to escape across the swollen Po­tomac; but it is the merest justice to the memory of Butord, and to liis gallant com­rades, jiving and dead, to affirm that if there was anything like uncertainty or sluggish­ness in the pursuit of the routed enemy, most assuredly this imputation ought not to rest upon the cavalry or its leaders. I have not at hand details of the operations ot the divisions of Buford and Gregg. But I can say that the third division alone concluded sixteen days of incessant fighting by des­troying Ewell's train, capturing nearly five thousand prisoners, nine guns and eleven battleflags, aud |iu conjunction with Buford would have captured Imboden’s command and tho larger train at Williamsport, but tor the unexpected arrival of Stuart's entire corps and the advance of the rebel army in its precipitate, retreat.

The Bonny correspondent of the Liver­pool Courier writes as follows:

For some time past the New Calabar men have been secretly preparing their forces for a raid into the Ekreeka country—partly as a demonstration of their strength, and partly to see whether the Bonny men would stand forward as jtlie protectors of the Ekreekas, which they are bound to do by treaty. Accordingly, about a week ago the most powerful expedition that ever left New Calabar for Ekreeka set out under command ol King Amachree. Tbe expedition con­sisted of above fifty large'war canoes, manned by over two thousand men. They cautiously approached the capital of the Ekreeka country, taking three days in the movement. On the night of the third day they lay in wait near the “city,” bid by the thick bushes that lined the creek that leads to the residence of King Pliibia.

About midnight some Ekreeka oil aud fishing canoes, about nine in number, came by. manned by both men and women. The war canoes charged out of their respective hiding-places; a few minutes of confusion, cries of triumph and shrieks of dismay, and all was over. The canoes were captured, and with them about twenty-fix e men aud three casks of palm oil; but the women, with praiseworthy activity, jumped into the creek and swam ashore, and, in spite of all the efiorts of the Calabar men, they escaped through the hush to the town, unit gave the alarm, the Calabar men, in their own ex­pressive Way, remarking: “ Them women, he. he the devil-man for run”—i. e., very swift of foot. At daylight an advance was made ou the town, but the Ekreekas were too strongly posted behind stockades to warrant the Calabar men carrying the place by storm. They therefore opened fire on the place with e‘anoe guns, aud bombarded it for some hours.

The slaughter in the crowded town must

have -been very great, as every shot told ; and as the Calabar men’s guns were of heavier calibre than those of the Ekreekas, their tire was most effective at a range that was quite out of the power of rue Ekreeka guns. The Calabar men being satisfied with the damage they had done to these Ekreekas, drew off their canoes and re­turned to New Calabar town. Then com­menced the horrible orgies that are the usual sequel to all battles in this country. Sixteen of the prisoners were at oneeslaugh tered and portioned out, liko so much beef or mutton, to the principal families in the town for the purpose of being cooked and eaten. One scene will suffice to give an idea of the horrible practices.

About 10 A. M. one of the unfortunate cap­tives was hound hand and foot in the centre of the courtyard of one of the most wealthy and enlightened of the, chiefs. The prisoner, haggard and worn, was surrounded hy the wives, children, head men and slaves of the chief. The chief himself stood in front, coolly instructing his youngest and favorite s o d , a good looking boy about six years old, how to executo the prisoner with a sharp knife. After a few minutes the young sav age seized the prisoner by his wool, palled his head forward, aud struck him on the •back of the neck, causing blood to spurt forth. The veils of the men and the women were dealening. The miserable prisoner was struck to the ground, and cut up in pieces with large knives. The young­ster who commenced the slaughter waived his hand, reeking with blood, on high, and gave a shout of triumph. Iu ten minutes after the head and hands of the late prisoner were in an iron pot boiling iu tho chief's house for his breakfast, carefully tended by one of his wives, and tho young executioner greedily awaiting tite repast he would share with his father. .Six of the canoes taken were destroyed before leaving the Ekreeka country, and. to the astonish­ment of the King of Calabar, eight of the prisoners taken denied that they were E.treeka men. and asserted that they were Bonny men. They were accordingly placed iu safe keeping until the Bonny King could be communicated with, which was at once done through the chairman of the court of equity. New Calabar. It has since trans­pired that tbe Bonny people claim these men, also two canoes and three casks of palm oil.

Judge Dibble yesterday rendered the fol­lowing decisions:

In the ease of Mrs. Jane Wetmore vs. tho Louisiana Mutual Aid Association, the widow of the husband sues to recover $2935 on a policy of life insurance taken out by him. Tbe deceased insured in the company under the terms of its charter, and he con tracted to pay $1 25 in the event of tho death of any member of the association. The person in whose favor he insured was to have after his death, while his policy was in operation, one dollar from each member of the association.

The defense is, that the policy was for­feited, the defendants alleging that there was an assessment due and payable before the death of the deceased, which he failed to meet. One of the terms of the pel icy and the charter is, that in the event of the death of any member of tho association, each member shall pay $1 25 within thirty days after notification; this notification is to lie given, iu cases where the insured lives out of the city, by a written notice, but where insured lives in the city, it is to be by pub­lication in the daily newspapers, in French, English and German for five days.

The issue between tho plaintiff and the company is, that the thirty days from the notification begins on the day of the first day of publication, while she (the plaintiff), insists that it begins only after the fifth day, and such seems to be the correct construc­tion.

The notification of five days is to be in lieu of personal notice, and is to be con­tinued tor five days together as one notifi­cation. The deceased died twenty-five hours after the expiration of the thirtieth day, and if he had expired forty-eight hours sooner he would have come within the period whieh the defendants claim his widow would have been entitled to re­cover. I think the notification begins to run from the last dav, inasmuch as the five days are to he considered one notification. Let there be judgment for plaintiff, as prayed for.

Now we most solemnly assure our friends that the supplies are abundant, and to plant cotton. If they have a little patch of corn planted, [dow it up, by all means, and plant cotton.

fo r B a r g e sSamuel Latte has entered suit against the

city to recover $3127 75 for damages, claim­ing this:

That he is the owner of the steamboat J. M. Sharp, which he employs in towing barges and flat beats loaded with cord wood and sand, for his own account, from land­ings on Red river to this city; that said business is lucrative, and in the ordinary pursuit thereof on the nineteenth of April, lie reached the port of New Orleans with two barges in tow. loaded with wood; that the barges were taken to the fiatboat laud­ing, near Washington street, assigned for such water erait by the ordinances of the city; that the captain of the J. M. Sharp demanded a place of landing for his barges from one Chadwick, the wharfinger, who promised to designate a place, and that Chadwick said he would order away fi'om said lauding certain steamboats lying there idle, and iu tbe way, and in violation of the ordinances of the city; that said Chadwick afterward [informed petitioner that his or­ders were countermanded by Me Arthur, bis superior officer; that the captain of the Sharp thereupon applied to F. C. Remick, Administrator, for a landing for bis barges, when lie was told that as soon as the Bello of Alton was sold, a place would be granted.

Petitioner alleges that through failure to obtain relief, ho caused to be addressed a communication to tho Mayor, and the Mayor went with him to see said Remick, and required him to give petitioner a landing, which Reuiiek promised to perform, but failed to do until about April 24, 1871, when a landing place was given to one barge; that by reason of the foregoing facts, petitioner was compelled to place liis barge on the Algiers side of the river, to await the leisure of the eoporation officers, where one is yet lying; that he was compelled to keep pumps going night and day; tohave a watch­man on duty, and that during this time the steamboat has been idle, besides being una­ble to sell bis wood, as the same can not bo delivered, and that the market price lias fallen one dollar per cord since liis arrival in port.

Petitioner alleges that tbe corporation has full authority to regulate the use and enjoy the revenues from the wharves under certain limitation, and that it has assigned tor the different water crafts certain por­tions of the river front, and that fiatboat^ auu barges have assigned for their accom­modation certain iandings, and that steam­boats at that landing were there in viola­tion ot the city ordinance; that when the barges of petitioner repaired to said land­ing, aud demanded a place, it was the duty of the corporation to cause said steamboats to leave the same in furtherance of the in­terests of commerce.

Petitioner especially alleges that said cor­poration is bound to furnish a landing to all water craft arriving at the port ot New Or­leans, and it can not use the landings set apart for one kind of water craft to the preju­dice of those to whose use they have been specially dedicated, and that through the negligence of duty on the part of the cor­poration he has suffered damages in bavin" lost the price of one dollar per cord oil six hundred and tweuty-sevcu cords of wood; he lias lost by detention iu port, and the loss ol profit and expenses of boat and crew one hundred dollars per day for twenty-five days, making in all three thoiv sand one hundred and twenty-seven dollars anil seventy-five cents, and that each day he is detained he suffers au additional loss of one hundred dollars per day, and that the city is bound to him for such loss.T h e Im p r iso n m en t f o r N o n -p a y m en t o f

days by Judge Cooley tor refusing to pav alimony for the support of his wife, from whom he is seeking a divorce, in the sum of

The attention of sugar- planters and others interested in the manufacture of sugar, would 1>C well repaid and agreeably occupied hy a visit to the extensive copper aud brass establishment of Messrs. Daniel &. James D. Edwards, on Delta aud Front streets, between Gravier and Povdras streets, and examine the large copper steam train just completed by them for 3Iessrs 3IcCall Brothers’ plantation, Ascension parish, Lou­isiana, and now set up and connected to ­gether, awaiting orders tor shipment.

This is the largest aud most effective train ot the many this house has furnished the many planters of our State. It consists of five copper clarifiers, ten feet by six and three deep, with skim troughs and flanges, with all their mountings ill highly finished brass columns and plates, with four inches opening finished brass cocks to charge and discharge same, with copper pipes all fitted and set up in their places. Also, four cop­per evaporating pans eight feet in diameter and thirty inches deep with troughs and flanges, and all their mountings, finished columns to support flanges and with finished plates and finished charge cocks four inches opening, as well as discharge cocks, same size opening, with brass finished drain cocks and pipes for troughs, and all copper pipe fitted ond placed.

Those interested in the mechanics of our city, should not let this opportunity pass of seeing what can be done hy the mechanics of our city. The design anil finish as well as the workmanship, reflect the greatest credit on .Messrs. Edwards and their me­chanics, and ought to bo seen by all that they may form some opinion as to its excel­lence as well as for the information of the ability of our mechanics to make machinery ot this kind, particularly, and as cheap as any house East, West,-North, or South, with whom 3Iessrs. Edwards compete, though probably they do not make as much profit to themselves, owing to higher wages being paid here than in other places.

Go one and all aud see the train as well as their business facilities as carried on in then- vast establishment. They promise to sell everything in their line at as low rates and on as accommodating terms as any others, be they New York or elsewhere. The whole work ou this train was completed in seven weeks from the giving of contract, aud every sheet of copper for the different uses rolled and made for same order.

The Shreveport Gazette ol Saturday last says:

One sectionmaster on the Southern Pacific railroad snot another sectionmaster, near Greenwood, on Thursday evening, while the train was in motion, the shot entering his mouth and coming out at the back of his neck ; the same shot also wounded a pas- senger in the right arm ; the latter was only a flesh wound. The party who did the shoot- ing surrendered himself to the authorities in this city.

two hundred,dollars per month, and who was refused a discharge by Judge Dibble upon a writ of habeas corpus, applied to Judge Collens yesterday upon a like writ. For some reason not made public, the appli­cation was subsequently withdrawn, aud Mr. Fisk conveyed back again to the Parish Prison by the sheriff.

This case is an interesting one, inasmuch as it is the first case of the kind which has ever come up in our courts.U n ited S t a te s C ir c u it C o u rt—l i o n . K . H .

D a r e i l, D is tr ic t J u d g e , P r e s id in g .Charles Choisy vs. A. A. Stoekdale—This

case was similar in all essential features to the numerous eases which have been re­cently brought before the United States Court on account of illegal assessments. There was judgment in favor of plaintitt lor $J-1 07, but exempting the defendant trom a writ of seizure, anil directing that the mo­ney be paid out of the appropriation in tho United States Treasury, as provided by law.

William Levenzen vs. Rebecca A. Minor, testamentary executrix of W. J. Minor— In this ease, by reason of the default en­tered anil tlie law and evidence, it was de­creed that the plaintift' recover from de­fendant the sum of twenty-four thousand sixty-nine dollars and forty-four cents, with interest from the twelfth of December, 1867, till paid, and costs, with mortgage and pri­vilege on certain property.

In the case of John I*. Tweed vs. R. F. Fianders, the application for au arrest of judgment was refused. By reason of the ver­dict of tho jury in favor of the plaintiff upon the petition, exceptions and answer of tho defendant and of the iutervenor, it was ordered that the plaintiff has estab­lished his title to the property and to the possession of the same, and that the defen­dant bo ordered to pay all the costs of this suit. It is further decreed that the claim ot the interveuor be dismissed, but without costs.

Ou motion of J. It. Beckwilh, United States Attorney, appearing for the defense, by direction of the United States govern­ment, it was ordered that plaintiff show cause on .the tenth instaaf, why the verdict of the jury should not he set aside and anew trial granted in this case, on the grounds tiled. _

P la n t C o tton .There is a quiet vein of sarcasm running

through tho following editorial from the Morehouse Conservative: •

We spoke advisedly last week when assur­ing the planting community that the North and West had yet, and would continue to hold in hand, immense supplies of corn, meat, hay, oats, mules, horses, condensed milk, and butter. But a few days before we had left New Orleans, and saw euough with our own eyes to render certain the facts stated.

The probabilities are that with the begin­ning of another season these supplies will be greatly increased iu anticipation of a big crop of cotton. Those fellows up there are sharp. They watch tlio coiners closely. They know the size of the cotton crop, and what it brought. They are as well or better posted in the price of cotton than tho men who make it. They know that the larger the crop tho less the price, and the more cer­tain of cotton producers coming out in debt, as they have almost to a man this year. And besides, they know that tho way to remedy the matter is to plant more cotton and less corn.

Cotton is the only thing in the South that will bring mouey. and the planters all being in debt, must plant more cotton in order to jiay out. They have no time to spare to corn, and oats, smd pigs, and mules, and horses, aud cows, and sheep, hut must in­vest everything in cotton. Anil hence, these shrewd fellows put in corn and oats, raise pigs, aud make butter, and fix up con­densed milk, and can fruit, and pack eggs just in proportion. So the Southern planter need have no fears about the su[*- plies giving out. It’s true they may cost a little more, but what does that amount to when they have plenty of cotton with which to buy. They can grow rich in a few years raising cotton at ten cents and buying corn at $1 25, and meat at $30, aud mules at $250, and condensed milk at $•», and flue Western butter at forty cents. Besides, the corn is shelled to hand. No one is troubled with the shucks and cobs. Some­times it may be a little trashy,and get a little soured in transportation, but it will only kill about every third mule that eats it, and keep the balance of the stock poor and sleepy. But then cotton at ten cents will buy more mules, and the poor ones will not run away aud kick up jack general. And in addition, eotton is so easily raised and housed. It only requires a year or tifteeu mouths to do it. It’s no trouble. It makes a man feel rich to see his broad acres about Christmas time white as a field of snow, lie counts his bales by the acre, and calcu­lates the amount at ten cents per pound, anil his eotton seed at five dollars per ton, and fancies his pockets lined with green-
