The REMAINS OF COUNT PULAsKI.-A
writer in the Baltimore Patriot, twhom we
take TO be Brantz Mayer, Esq, author ola
popular work on Mexico, and a prominent
member ofthe Maryland Historical Society,"
noticing the narrative recently published
by Major William P. Bowen, of Savnnah,
says:
1t is sad to reflect that so little historical
accuracy prevails as to the burial of a hero,
but | I'm obliged to correct the error into
which our Southern friends seem to have
fallen in regard 10 Pulaski. This distin-
guished soldier was not " buried in an Or
chard near a large Palmetto tree,' nor were
the pious cares of Mrs. Beecroft bestowed on
the ashes Of the illustrious Pole.
In 1924 and 1926. Col. Paul Bentalou,
who was an officer in Pulaski's legion, and
who declares himself as zone who was by
his side when he received bis mortal wound
and who attended him till his noble soul
departed from the gangreened body" pub
lished two very interesting pamphlets, de-
| signed to vindicate the memory of his old
commander. | suppose it is hardly neces-
sary. in this country, even after the depar-
lure of nearly all his contemporaries. to say
| rho Col. Bentalou was, in order to enforce
the authority of his declarations.
IA the enterprise on Savannah in 1879,
Pulaski and Bentalou, side by side, were
dangerously wounded, the former by a
swivel shot in the upper part of his right
thigh, and the latter by a musket ball.
When Count D.Estang embarked his troops
and artillery, Pulaski was conveyed on
board the U. s, brig Wasp, 10 go to Char
lesion, accompanied by Bentalou, who gives
the following account Of the fatal issue:
aThey remained some days in the Savan-
nah river, and during that time, the most
skilful surgeons in the French fleet attended
Count Pulaski. 1t was found impossible TO
establish suppnration, and gangrene was
the consequence. Just as the Wasp got
out of the river, Pulaski breathed his last,
and the corpse Immediately became SO Of
~fensive, that his officer was compelled,
though reluctantly, to consign to a watery
grave all that was now left on earth of his
beloved and honored commander This
officer was Bentalou. See "Pulaski Vim

The Nebraska bill, has been the
absorbing topic for a week or two past,
and has been discussed with unusual
ability and animation. The fate OF
the bill is uncertain, although its
prospects are 1attering In the
House, the same subject is destined
to pass through fiery ordeal Of de-
bate not yet fairly entered upon.
Another subject likely to produce
excitement, is bill for the protec-
tion of railroads, with the design of
preventiDgIthe repetition ofsuch pro
ceedings as those which have recent
ly 1transpired at Erie, Pa. 1t las
been reported to the House and met
with considerable opposition. We
will keep our readers advised of its
progress, as well as of all the more
important trasaetions of Congress.
AT the same time, We will not fatigue
them with any tedious reports of the
ioings Of that body. i
