DEATH OF MIX. CONvIS.'
The Detroit FREQ Press of tho Ist inst. n


marks:-
Itbecomes our painful duty to announce to-day
the death of the Hon. Ezra Conpis, member OF
the House of Representatives from Calhoun coun-
ty. He died at his lodgings at the American
Hotel about half past nine O'Clock yesterday
morning. A..
On this occasion we can only say, that in tho
death of Gen. Convis, his family has lost a kind
husband and affectionate father, society valuable
member, his county an upright and faithful Re
preventative, and the State one OF her mostinteL
ligent, able and devoted servants.
In testimony of their respect Tor the memory OF
the deceased, the legislature, upon the announce
ment of the melancholy fact, adopted the Gus,
tou,ary resolution of mourning and adjourned un-
til the funeral ,-which took place that day, a.
half past P. M, from the Hall Of the House Of
Representatives. f
Mr.. Convis was speaker ofthe house last year.

BY the steamer Ocmulgee, Capt. Blanken-
ship, arrived yesterday, (Sunday,) direct from
culars
Jumper and Alligator, who commanded body Of
Indians amounting to about 100. The General
routed them and took so prisoners On the 18th,
Jumper and Alligator gave themselves up, with
the remnant of their band. These warriors stat
ed to the General, that they would endcavor to
bring Powell to terms, who was on an island in
the Ouithlacooche, destitute of provisions and
ammunition, with fsw devoted followers.
Jumper and Alligator also stated, that the great
or part of the Indians were humbled and thorough
ly convinced that it was fruitless to contest any
longer with the whites. Defeated in all their
cndeavors to obtain supply of ammunition from
Cuba, and other places they are, no doubt, crest
fallen. The chiefs above named, told General
Jcsup, that they would, with his permission, bring
in Powell by fair means, if possible; if not, they
would use stratagem or force. They rendered
their families as hostages, and their offer was &C
ccptef."

P.S.-By the dispatches forwarded by express
to ST. Marys. and though brought by the Ocmul-
gee, not opened until her arrival here, (Daricn,)
one addressed TO an officer board, contains the
important intelligence that Oceola, subsequently
to the foregoing news, came in to Jesup's camp,
with 3OO followers. Ho ranged his men in a line
and concealed himself behind a tree when Jesup
came up, he (Occola) sprang from the tree, and
gave himself up prisoner Of war, and has thus
secured himself the title of hcro.-Darien Tel.

Entry of Gen. Espartero into Bilboa.-
Accounts have been received of an action
fought before Bilboa, between the allied
Christine and British forces OH one side, and
besieging Carlist army on the other. The
action was fought on the % and Oath OF
last month and it terminated as might be
expected in favor of the allies who entered
and relieved Bilboa on Christmas day; the
Carlists having, as it appears, retired in
good order, and with the loss Of but few
killed, and about 200 prisoners.
The allies confessed to have lost 800 men.

The investigation relative to Meunier,
is proceeding with activity. 1t appears that
his crime is not isolated, and that the police
have obtained clues to crrtain individuals,
who are, it is said, very seriously compro.
missed. tbs also said that there have been
found on a file Of papers relating to pre-
vious investigation list of aGlies (associates)
at the announcement of which appears the
following inscription Jean Francois, sad
der, sure man." Finally, if every report
in circulation is to be credited, the attempt OF
this criminal has very extensive ramifica-
tons. We trust that the result of the in
vestigation will prove that all these sinister
reports are without foundation. Every wit.
ness as yet examined represents Meunier as
person devoid of intelligence.
The most prominent feature of his char
acier and that which exercises the greatest
influence over his actions is an excessive
degree of self-conceit; which, joined to q
headstrong and boastful spirit, has betrayed
him into the commission of thousand ex-
travagances. He is described as possess
ing sort Of mania for making the most ex-
traordinary wagers and when he had once
pledged himself to any act, he never failed
to commit it, however stupid it might be.
He was in the habit of laying wagers, for
instance, that he would drink off two bottles
of brandy, or of the Hqueur absynths, and
that he would cat a dinner prepared for 6
persons,6 &c. On Christmas night, two
days before he. committed the crime, he
made singular bet--namely, to swallow
the contents of an enormous mustard poi
Shortly after he had taken this powerful
dose he was seized with lethargic symptoms
and fell into u state of torpor which lasted
nearly SO hours.
We understand, from good. authority, tina
the assassin Meunier has been confronted
with his father and mother. AT that sigh
he was powerfully affected, and it would ap
pear that their presence had induced him t.
make certain disclosures, in consequence
of which warrants have been issued agains
