The BATTLE OF THE BEEs.-Gal;o.

The BATTLE OF THE BEEs.-Galig-
nani's Messenger, published in Paris,
says curious circumstance occurred re-
Gently at Guilleville, in France. A small
farmer had in field about 25O bee-hives,
containing vast number of bees. He
sent man with cart, drawn by five
horses, TO remove some earth from the
wall near which the hives were placed.
The carter having occasion to go to the
farm house, tied the horses to tree
Almost immediately after, multitude Of
bees, either irritated at the shaking o.
their hives by the removal of the earth
from the wall or excited by the electr e.
ty with which the atmosphere happened
to be charged, issued from their hives, as
If in obedience to a given signal, and
with great fury attacked the horses. In
an instant the poor animals were entirely
covered with bees from head to foot; :;
even their nostrils were filled with them.
When the carter returned he found one
of his horses lying dead on the ground,
and the others rolling about furiousIy.-
His cries attracted several persons one
Of them attempted to drive away the bees,
but they attacked him, and he had to
plunge into pond, and even TO place his
head under water for few seconds, in
order to escape from them. The cure of
Guilleville also attempted to approach
the horses, but, he too, was put to flight
by the enraged insects. At length, two
fire engines were sent for, and BY pump
ing on the bees, great number were
killed on the horses or put to flight. The
horses, however, were SO much injured,
that they died in an hour. The value of
the bees destroyed was 15OOf, and of
the horses 25OOf. A few days before,
bees from the same hives killed II gos-
lings.

SCoTT AND FoREIGNERs.-The follow
ing is as extract from the speech made by
Gen. Scott, to the committee of the Com.
Council Of New York, on his return from
Mexico. The man who fancies that he
can detect insinccrity in it, must be one
whose own innate hypocrisy impairs his
mental Visions:
"You have been pleased, sir, to aIlude
to our adopted citizens. l can say that
the Irish, the Germans, the Swiss, the
French, the Britons, and other adopted
citizens, fought in the same ranks, under
the same colors side by side, with native
born Misunderstanding like courage
and efficiency, and uniting at every VIC
tory in the same enthusiastic shouts in
honor of our flag and country. From
Vera Cruz to the Capital of Mexico, there
was one generous rivalry in heroic daring
and brilliant achievements. Let those
who witnessed that career of valor and
patriotism say, if they can: what race,
according to the numbers, contributed
most TO the success and glory of the cam
paign. On the many hard fought battles,
there was no room for invidious distinc-
tion. All proved themselves the faithful
sons Of our beloved country, and no spec
tator could fail to dismiss any imaginary
prejudice he might have entertained as to
the comparative merits Of Americans by
birth and Americans by ADOPTION

The name of the new steamer Brilliant

The name of the new steamer Brilliant
now finished and lying at New Albany,
will in all probability be changed to that
of Mary Hunt. The owre-s have petit
toned Congress to that effect, alleging as
a reason, that sailors have superstitious
dread Of the name, (several boats of the
same name having blown up or otherwise
met with serious accidents, and they
find it impossible to man her with suf-
ficient crew. This is certainly very sin
gular, and Congress will no doubt grant
the petition.

MosT AWFUL DIscLos uREs.-A Po-
lander, who has had an interview with
the brothers Skupenski, in the county
prison, made the following developments
to-day, before Mayor Gilpin, being the
substance of confession by the con-
demned Matthias Skupeski said he
killed young Lehman by striking him on
the head with stove-leg. Blaizc, his
brother, was present, as well as Kayser,
(whose real name is John Ruthowski, J
still at large.
Matthias also said the party had killed
farmer and his family of six persons,
near Newark, and afterwards set fire to
the premises, having obtained 1913 and
some jewelry.
He also confesses to murder near
Baltimore, and said they had murdered
nearly eighty persons, and burned thirty
houses, since their arrival in this coun-
try. Plunder amounting to $4,000, he
stated, was buried in the mountains, and
under the charge Of Kayser.
This confession is so extravagant as to
lead to the supposition that he is insane.
He expressed his confidence in escaping
by the aid of Kayser, and designed muir
dering all concerned in his arrest and
conviction, besides numerous persons in
New York.
Capt. Alden Partridge, the well-known
head of several institutions for instruc-
tion in military tactics, science and litera-
ture, at one time Superintendent Of West
Point Academy, and Democrat of the
Jefferson and jackson school, is an ardent
supporter of General Scott. A letter to
the New York Times, describing the rat
ifcation meeting at Dartmouth, N. H.,
says, "the booming of cannon, worked by
Capt. A. Partridge, and his gallant cadets,
who rejoiced in an opportunity to honor
a real, and not sham military hero, with
the enthusiastic cheering for the Wing
nominees, spoke aloud for the spirit Of
the Dartmouth boys" .... ,....

A Good Story for Scott.

Some four years ago, a young man
called at our office to subscribe for the
Weekly Mirror. In the course of con-
versation, he stated that he was ''return-
ed volunteer from the Mexican War !"
and instead of loafing about New York.
and begging aims OF the Corporation of
the city and the Legislature of the State,
he had been off to Wisconsin, bought a
farm, opened a store, and was already
Postmaster of the village. His bright
eye, energetic manner and manly deter
mination to fight his own way through
the world, interested us at once; and on
bidding him good bye as he left the office,
we remarked, "we shall next hear from
you as member of the Legislature"
This morning we had visit from the
young man, whose first words were, "your
prediction has been fulfilled. have been
a member Of the Legislature and Clerk
of the House." GLOW are your politics?''
we asked. His reply was, 81 am Dem
ocrat, but out of gratitude for one who
saved my life, l shall vote for Scott
"How is that?''
"Why, sir, when l was lying on the
stone floor in the hospital at Jalapa,
parcEed with fever, and covered with
sores, with no one TO look after me, Gen.
Scott came in and went around among all
the sick and wounded. He came to me
and asked if I was wounded. l told him
l was not but was very sick, and could
not live many days. Don't talk So, said
the General. He then asked me if l was
well tended. l told him had no atten-
ton at all. He then stopped down, lifted
up my feeble arm, felt of my pulse, ex-
amined my fever sores, and sent for
surgeon and asked him why l was thus
neglected. The surgeon sent for his as
sistant, who, in return, sent for the stew
ard of the hospital. The General charged
them to take good care of me, and on
leaving, told me if they did not, to report
at once to him. So you see, sir, he saved
my life by his kindness, as he did hun
dreds of others; and / should be a scoun-
drel not 10 vote for him. They say he is
proud. So he is on horseback-on the
battle field he is Major General Scott !;
but off he is a kind-hearted, humane
