LOUISVILLE, 9Th April, 1912.
Ns"s from Ieras-Ine Feeling along the River
Stealing N~esroes-Great Excitement.
DEAR Bennett
Inc Ohieitaln has Just arrived from New Orleans,
lett there on the I'd of April. The ne WIS is confirmed
. General Aris'a marching upon Texas. lHere fol-
lows the Texas news already given
Inc passengers by the Chieftain report that emf
grants Tor Texas are leaving in great Numbers all
along Inc river some two hundred from Mempbis
and as many from Y ~lcksburgh and Natchez . as We,
no organized companies have left Louisville or Gin
cinnati.
There are some five hundred men at the latter
places ready and willing to go, provided money
could be raised TO equip them and pay their expenses
and although there is over a million of dollars,
worth of property owned in the two places, thew
have not rs yet been able to raise money enough 10
equip a hundred men, Santa Annals proclamation
will, however, open their eyes, and | have no doub,
but that IN less than ten days over five hundred men
will leave Louisville for Texas. General Houston
has issued a proclamation, inviting the citizens of The
United States 10 join them, promising an inva-
sion OF Mexico, and offering the public property and
mines there for plumber.
There was great excitement in vicksbureh about
a Doctor Smith of Cincinnati, an abo,itionisf Who
mao been detected IN an attempt TO steal three slaves.
II appears that the Doctor had secreted them ON
board Of a steamboat, disguised as Indians : thew
were detected and the Doctor arraIgned for trial. II
Is said that an offer OF ten thousand dollars was
made TO two LAWYERS there TO appear for him, which
they refused but that a Mr.. Chase, a distinssished
lawyer and aboiitionist, volunteered as his coun-
sci, and that a mob had risen, headed by some
OF the most respectable ciiizens, had taken
smith. and Chase into custody, and intended TO
hang them forthwith, | write on board the steamer
Ben franklin the boat shakes so much. fear !,
VIII be difficult tor you 10 read. The Chi. ftain had
not landed when the Franklin left at II O'clock.
From HAyvNA-The brig Elizabeth. AZ this
port from Havana: Her dates are to April 4th.
The Fanny Elssler story of escape in male attire
is a hoax. She was in Havana on the 4tb. She took
passage in the Alabama, but was detained at The in
stance of the Governor, when the matter was ar.
ranged in a spirit Of compromise.
The rumored dific Hlties with the mail arents of
the British Government have been greatly exappe-
rated. The chief point involved is the opening of
the British seal, which the mail agents contend
sheuld be opened by the British Consul, while the
Governor contends that it should DO opened by the
Spanish post Office authorities. Thus far the Bri-
fish Consul has otiiciated, but against the wishes
of the Governor Gener RAJ.
The only British subject imprisoned was an Off
Ger oil low grade, who conducted himself impro-
perly while on a frOlic.
No change in markets. American produce and
business generally dull
We may add that much dissatisfaction exists as
to the British West India steamers. Three have
been in port at enc time. - Phiiad. mq. Aprtll5.
LIFE IN ARKANsAs.-Two men fought, not long
compelled by loss of blood to desist. One Of them
died soon after, having received thirty. one stabs
with a knife; the other was shot through the kid
news and could not recover.
