DORCHESTER. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15,1864.

NuTEaS of THE WEEK.

We are once more horrified with • deed of ,1
bloodshed, possessing special features of atrocity.
On Tuesday the Bth, the headless and half•naked
body of a foreigner was found amidst the reeds and
rushes of Plaistow Handl, a wild and desolate
spot on the north side of the flames, between
Blackwell and North Woolwich. The pockets
had been rified—all that was found beings farth-
jug wrapped up in paper ; and there was another
piece of paper on which were written • few words
in Germ su, All that could be learned on au
examination of the clothes was that they had
been made by a Hamburgh tailor. On the head-
less corpse being conveyed to a neighbouring
tavern it was seen by a German shoemaker,
named Zook', who identified the boots as those
worn by • young man who bad lodged at No. 4,
Hay-street, Plaistow. About the same time the
man who occupied these premises—Karl Kohl, •
native of Holland, nuns forward and expressed
himself as tolerably certain that the body was
that of his lodger, a young German named
Fuhrhop, who bad been missing since the pre-
vious Thursday—au interval of five days. Kohl,
however, was OD confused in his tale about his
missing lodger that he at once directed suspicion
to himself, and was taken into custody the same
evening. The body was found at midday on
Tuesday, and about eight o'clock on the follow-
ing morning the head was dug up 30 yards off
by Inspector Good, of the Thames police force,
who found it buried near a bed of mangold-
wurzel, in • hole dug in the ground about twelve
inches deep. On an examination of the head,
the mark of a tremendous blow was observed on
the temple over the left eye, the bone of the
skull being driven in. At first it was supposed
that the murder had been committed where the
headless trunk was found, but shortly after the
discovery of the bead the exploring party came
upon • narrow path, almost hidden by the
bulrushes, and intersecting which was • ditch,
seven feet wide and three or four feet deep,
coated at the bottom with mud, but having very
little water. In this ditch was found a pool of
blood, about four feet long and one foot broad.
The mud exhibited with perfect distinctness
certain foot prints, and it was evident that here
the murder was committed. The surmise is
that while in the act of descending this ditch the
unfortunate victim was struck from behind, the
blow being that which has left its mark oo the
crushed skull. Effectually stunned by this
sudden and deadly attack, the sufferer fell, and
the appearance of the spot favours the idea that
the murderer leant over the prostrate man, and
by means of • large bladed knife, not particularly
sharp, hewed the head from the body. The blood
thus poured out in streams into the ditch, hence
the ensanguined pool which greeted the horror-
stricken explorers. There had evidently been
no struggle; the blow was given stealthily, the
victim fell insensible, and the hideous process of
beheading speedily followed. The body wee
then dragged twenty yards from the ditch into
• oontparalively open space, and the head was
carried into an adjoins& field, and there buried.
The cause of the discovery of the body was
something remarkable. A party of shipwrights,
, during their dinner hoar, proceeded to the river
side to shoot birds, and in order that they might
not be altogether disappointed of sport, a young
apprentice yea sent into the jungle to "beat the
bosh." The lad had not been long in before he
ran out considerably alarmed, end said that he
had found a man without • head. The
whole piarty then went into the reeds, and she
work of discovery began The facia which seem
to connect Kohl with the crime, DO far as the
investigation has yet gone. are mainly the fol-
lowing :—He states that on Thursday, the 3rd
instant, he went to town with his bagel', the
young German Fahrhop, and last sight of kiss
while he was inside of • anger bakery in Oses-
mercial-road, about one o'elock in the day. On •
the other baud, a youth named Lee says be saw
the prisoner sod the deesesed, both of whose he

walking along the river well about ten o'clock
on the morning in question, in a direction
from London, and toward Bilvertown, the neigh-
bourhood were the body was found. They were
within about three yards of him when they
passed him, walking side by aide, and about
three or four minutes' walk from wham the body
was subsequently found. Them is beside the
question of the money and clothes of the de-
ceased. The prisoner asserts that the deceased
having spent all his money, heals's° pawned all
his clothes, but cannot tell where it was pan ;
whereas the woman with whom the deceased
lodged before he went to Kohl's, states that
three weeks previously he had four sovereigns,
besides silver, and • large quantity of clothes,
quite sufficient for say respectable young man
to poems. The attention of the poliue will
now no doubt be directed to: the question,
"What has become of the dead man's clothes r
for on this point the ulterior, proceedings will
mainly depend.
The latest advice@ from America put us in
possession of the relative positions of the
Northern and Southern armies. The Federals
evidently derive no advantage from their
possession of Atlanta, so long as Hood can keep
possession of, and roam at pleasure over the
mountainous districts of that part of Georgia.
If Sherman were to run the hazard of defeat—
which he dare not—he would be courting the
annihilation of his army. Hood is nearly or
quite equal to him in point of numbers as to
, infantry, while in regard to cavalry he I
has decidedly the superiority. Confederate
cavalry intercept Sherman's trains., and his lines
from Knoxville and Louisville are perpetually
intercepted by guerillas. It is difficult, too, for
reinforcementa to reach him, for in Tennessee
the Federals can barely hold their own. Forrest
roams the country at will, ard Kentucky is
bristling with Confederate arms. How he will
fight his way out uusided, with these besetting
difficulties, it is not easy to understand. Hie
position is one of the most ticklish points of the
wee, for if climate: betel him it will re-act upon
Grant's army is a very marked degree. As the
game now stands, fsilure in Tennessee will bring
matters to a stand-still in Virginia, and discon-
cert all the military plans of the North. The
fact is, the Federal garrison at Atlanta is in •
strait, arid Sherman must possess greater loge-
unity than we can yet give him credit for, if he ,
get out of the net that has been slowly, but
surely woven around him, In Virginia. thium
look not a whit more hopeful for the North. 111
their last movements upon Lee's lines, Grant
and Butler were very severely handled. They
struck what they supposed to be the weakest
points in the Confederate position, but they
found these by far too strong to be successfully
assailed. The Federate were fairly out-ma-
naeuvred and out-fought,and in addition to many
prisoners taken from Grant's force, two whole
brigades of Butler's army were captured lying
fiat on the ground, where they bad thrown them-
selves to escape annihilation from the Confederate
fire. But hordes the three recent repulses
which Grant has suffered, there is the carefully
concealed, but nevertheless well known fact
that his army is suffering dreadfully from disease,
and it is doubtful whether any further great ex-
periment upon Lee's defences will now be made
before the winter seals up the country against
a further prosecution of the campaign this year.
The wilderness that lies between Grant's base of
operations and the Petersburg redoubts is strewn
by the flower of his army; the more frantic the
attack—in which his raw recruits are always
thrust forward—the more bloody and certain the
repulse; and it is not to be wondered at that
Mead and Warren have loudly condemned the
wanton butcheries that have long made Grant's
name a terror to his friends and • marvel to his
enemies. Convinced at last of the hopelessness
of a successful assault, he seems to be about to
make • diversion at Wilmington, as he has
detached • considerable force to assist Admiral
Porter in the reduction of that stronghold. But
Wilmington has long been prepared for any
assault that may be made upon it, and therefore
the place itself is not in much danger this side
Christmas. Probably the utmost that the
Federal* will be able to effect will be the reduc-
tion of some of the outlaying forts, and the
closing of the port. But for this purpose five
thoueaud men will do almost as well as
I fifty thocteand, and present the additional
advantage of requiring less feeding. For
the rest, it is too late in the year
for an expedition requiring so much time
to affect the present campaign. With re-
gard to Sheridan 's last "Victory" in the Shen-
andoah, one or two more like it will cost him his
army. It is true that at the final close of the
battle, or series of battles, the Confederate. were
compelled to fall back with • greater loss of
artillery in proportion to such force than would
have been expected under ordinary cirotim-
staucee which General Early attributes to "a
disgraceful propensity for plunder" on the part
of many of the moo, which caused disorganisa-
tion in the ranks. Nevertheless, it may well be
doubted whether the balance of advantage was
not with the Confederates. Early's whole
force did not amount to more than 15,000 men,
while Sheridan had from go,ooo to 35,000 troops,
including 5,000 or 6,000 cavalry, of which Early
was madly deficient. These cavalry Sheridan
employed with fearful effect. and Early herielf
a difficult ford at his back, his retirement could
not be effected with sufficient celerity and steadi-
ness to protect his batteries. As it is, however,
the Federal& are compelled to admit a loss of
4,200 men, exclusive of prisoners, and there can
be no doubt this" victory" has been 'purchased
at the expense of a large number of the best
troops in the Federal army. And there is this
farther consequence—the junction between
Sheridan's and Grant's armies, towards which
the Federate have directed all their energies, has
been frustrated. Other official dispatches report
the rout of Price in Missouri The statement is
that Federal General Pleasanton, with 6,000
cavalry. defeated 25,000 Confederates, pursued
them for ninety miles luring two days, fighting
the whole of the last thirty two miles I The
amount reads, we confess, very like • chapter out
of the rentable history of Baron Munchausen ;
and we would consequently advise our readers to
suspend their belief until the more whet report,
from Southern sources reach us. General Davis
has appointed a day for general thanksgiving for
the successes recently vouchsafed to the Con-
federate armies, and gold has again risen at New
York to 241.

The finances of Italy aro in a serious, though
by no means • hopeless condition. Signor Sella
, meets his difficulties in a bold but prudent spirit.
, He was to deal with a deficit of 200,000,000 lire
for the year. Ho proposes a reduction of
60,000,060 in the public expenditure, of which
42,000,0001. to be obtained from the Naval De-
partment He oaks for the payment of the land
tax twelve mouths in advance, which will give
him 124,000,000. He proposes ta raise 86,000,000
by Treasury Bondson mortgages of Crown pro-
perty to the extent of 40,000,000, and the King
voluntarily yields 3,000,000 of his cival list to
the service of the State. Thus Italy does ,
without a loan—at the present moment an
arrangement which would be cheaply purchased
at almost any saerifice ; and haying been able to
complete which, the country may be very
earnestly congratulated.

Baron Ricasoli has approved of the interven-
tion between Franco and Italy. The terms in
which this upright statesman expresses himself
are unequivocal as an indication of his own senti-
ments, and will be welcomed as a most trust-
worthy encouragement by all Italians who truly
know how to love their country. "Th. with-
drawal of the French from Rome, and the prin-
ciples of iron-intervention thereby proclaimed,"
he says wisely, "are great things." Probably
none of us hays better grounds for our faith in
1 the ultimate solution of the Roman question
than has Baron Ricaaoli, but with those grounds
who has not a mystic sympathy 1 His words
are:—" It is oertain that the ltdians will one
day oouut among their jewels the greatest and
noblest of all the city of Rome When that
time will come I know not ; but that it will
some I know. We are 'taking' Rome eve 7
day; nay, I will say more, every day Rome is
drawing nearer to us."

The position of M. Drouyu de l'Huys in the
Ministry of Foreign affairs is evidentiy one of
extreme difficulty. Six weeks efo be pronounoed
the doom of the Papacy—let It die I And now
be proclaims that it must live. Assuredly state,-
men in France, ea in gogbuid, are not always
uniform in their oonduct, and French statesmen
in particular have always exercised the Cull.:
reagb "vil,r, of "turning their backs on
via ; but such flagrant contradiction in
so short • time on ruck aa important matter as
that into which M. Droayn de l'Huys has fallen,
rears into/e even to the French. The
general expestation therefore is that be must
retire; but kis friends affirm—no doubt on his
inspiration—that be will remain. They think
