DEATH OF GEN. ARBUcKLE.-Intelligen has
been received of the death of Brigadier General
Matthew Arbuckle, of the United States Army
Gen. A. was one of the oldest and most merito-
rious officers of our army. He was born in
Botetourt county, Virginia, about the year
l772, and was nearly eighty years Of age at the
time of his death. He was the son Of the gal
liant officer of the same name, who, before the
Revolution, defeated Logan, near the mouth of
the Kanawha. He entered the army before the
beginning of the present century, and served
in the war with Great Britain, and in the Semi
mole campaign under Jackson and Gaines, with
the rank of Lieutenant Colonel In March,
1920, he was made Colonel of the 7th regiment
Of infantry, which was his rank in the line at
the time of his death. In 1880 he received the
brevet of Brigadier General
Although General Arbuckle has not had the
fortune to acquire much fame in the field, his
services to his country are not to be moderated.
For more than thirty years he has had the COM
mand of the department of which Fort Gibson is
the headquarters, in which capacity he has had
to perform duties of the most difficult and deli
cate character. The numerous powerful tribes
of Indians established in that country by the
Government have been kept in the most admi-
rable order by his management, and they have
learned to respect the Government whose au-
thority has been represented by one combining
so many of the qualities of the good soldier and
the honorable, high-minded gentleman. 1t will
be difficult to find successor so well qualified
in all respects, for the position he has filed

A MEAN AoT.-We learn from the Philadel-
phia Ledger, that large crowd Of persons as
sembled there on Monday afternoon to witness
the ascension Of Mr.. Pussy, in his balloon, but
the event did not take place, on the account of
the unexpected arrest Of the @ronaut for pass
ing foreign bank note, in violation Of the re-
cent act Of Assembly. The note in question,
with other money, was borrowed from friend
by Mr.. p, to pay claim against him, about
ten day since, and no effort was made to appre.
bend him until within half an hour Of the Tins
fixed for the ascension. He was taken before
an alderman and held to bail in $500 to answer.
During his absence person attempted to 20 up
IN the balloon, but failed; and when he re-
turned, after much trouble to procure bail, the
gas had escaped to such degree as to render
the trial (which was made) to raise any distance
from the ground an abortive one. The name
Of the person causing the arrest should vet be
published. A man of such mean resentment,
or dislikes should have a mark set on him
whereby the world may know him.
