The Paris correspondent of the Courier des
Etats Unis tells the newest bit of Partisan
scandal. Thus runs the gossip:
The gay world is very much amused, just
now, with an adventure of the charming Duchess
de Nj. Having planned journey for the
summer, she had advertised her country house
to let, and, according to the directions as to
whers the owner could be found, the young
Count d'A-- called to negotiate for the place.
Arriving at the door, he requested to speak with
her Grace, '' Come up at onoe,' cried maid
from the top of the staircase. Madame has
been very impatient to see you'll" With po-
lite attempt to enquire whether he was under
stood, but entirely oyerruled by the talkative
servant, the Count mounted the stairs, and was
shown at once into the bedroom of the lady
Sc All, YOU are there" said the lovely Duchess,
ss now, then, am at your service " And throw
ing herself into an easy chair, she drew up her
founces, unolasped her garter, drew off the silk
stocking, and held out her bare foot to the as
tonished young gentleman! She and the maid
had both taken him to be the corn cutter, who
had been sent for that morning! all Paris,
except the Duchess, were quite amused with the
little blunder,

MORTALITY AMONGST THE ENGINEERS OF THE
STATE.--The death of Charles Ritter, Engineer
of the 1st Swamp Land District, recorded in
our last, was another sad commentary upon the
deadly effects of imprudent exposure to the
climate and the swamps of Louisiana, by those
whose constitutions are not of iron toughness
The Swamp Land system of this State was
first organized in 1858; and since that time,
four Engineerss-one to each District-haye
died in the service. But the mortality has been
confined to two Districts alone--the 1st and Cd.
In the summer of 1858, Pettis, Engineer of
the 1st, and Kirkland of the ID District, both
died of yellow fever, within short period in
May 1856, Hugh Grant, Engineer Of the I'd
District, fell victim to cholera, after return
ing from great exposure and arduous exertion
In discharging the duties Of his Office; and, on
the 14th OF this month, the unfortunate Ritter,
after long suffering from an incurable malady
contracted in the field, closed the melancholy
catalogue. Baton Rouge Advocate.

OPEN CoTToN.- Friday last we received
from our friend DR.. George Smith, of this coun-
ty, two fully matured and thoroughly opened
cotton bolls. We we're also informed that the
first open cotton was seen by the Doctor in his
fields on the 4th of July We were also informed
that he has more rot in his cotton fields this
year than he has ever known before.
In this connection it may not be amiss to say
that we were called upon by Mr.. David Gibson,
on yesterday, and he informed us that he had
examined Mr.. Ferguson's field, and that he had
picked eight rotten 6olls from one stalh, and
that the rot to an equal extent seemed to pre-
vail throughout the field. The same informa-
ton has been given US by other persons as to
the extent of the rot, If this be general it will
cut the crop off very considerably. [Vicksburg

IMPRISONMENT OF AN AMERICAN AT CALLAo.-
There has been quite q squabble going on in
Callao between our Minister, Mr.. Clay, and the
Peruvian authorities, relative to the captain of
the American ship John Gummins. 1t appears
that the crew of the vessel mutinied in port,
proceeded to the captains cabin and took pos
session of all the weapons they could find; then,
headed by the boatswain, they took one of the
boats and attempted to desert. The captain
cautioned them against the procedure, and On
their persisting, he brought up double barrel
shot gun, which he had concealed in his state
room, and fired in the boat, killing the boat
ewain. The authorities Immediately arrested
the captain, and Mr. Clay demanded his release,
which was refused. He then ordered up the
flag ship Independence. the appearance Of which
vessel induced the authorities to succumb, and
release their prisoner. Soon after, the Inde-
pendence sailed for Panama, via Paita, but no
sooner had she left Callao than the authorities
again seized upon their victim and threw him
into prison. Mr.. Clay sent again after the In
dependence, and at last accounts she was on
her way back to Callao, Commodore Merwin
being determined to let the good folks of Peru
smell powder if they should give him trouble

1h1 4 E'fooDo lS Al.LsHhANf.- line disasters
by the late foods in Allegheny county, N. T.,
have not half been told The following is from
the Almond Sentinel:
Mr. Robert McLelland and family, consisting
OF seven persons in one house. we're carried ia
their house about twenty rods to Mr.. O'Conner's
tannery, where the house went to pieces and
the family all were providentially saved by a
pile OF hemlock bark. Mr.. and Mrs O'Conner
narrowly escaped by getting into the tannery
building, while their barn and outbuildinas
were swept down the stream and entirely de-
stroy ed. The house of Mr.. Sweeney was taken
from its foundations and carried down the
stream with Mr. and Mrs. Sweeney, and Miss
Catharine Kinney, sister of Mrs. Sweeney
Ihe latter was drowned, while the TWO former
foated down the stream on a feather bed and
Mrs. Sweeney foated under a buttonwopd tree,
and caught by limb and was saved. ME-.
Sweeney fosted about twenty rods farther, and
was saved in the same way by an apple tree
over half mile from the place where they firsr
started Miss Kinney was found dead the next
day, nearly two miles below Miss Connel had
her house and the last vestige of property
swept away, while she and three small children
were proVldentiaily saved. mrs. Holloway and
daughter were drowned below in attempting to-
save themselves. Mr. Holloway and family left
the house to get 10 the railroad track, but could
not reach it, and the water had risen SO sfasi
that they could not return to the house They
got ON the top of an out door cellar, which was
below the house the house hoated down against
it. Mr. Holloway then got on the house. Mrs
H. handed him sll the children, save one, a girl
about eleven years old; while in the act Of
reaching it to its father, the building gave way,
and mother and daughter were launched into
the water, AID were drowned.
AFFECTING SCENE AT AN ExEcUTToN. 49, Loyet
Cady. the murderer of Samuel Sinclair, was hung
at Clarksville, Texas, on the 18th ult., in ac-
cordance with the sentence of the court at its
last term. at the Round Grove, about two miles
north of town. He deported himself under the
scatfold with gravity and propriety becoming
his situation, participated in prayer, and ayowed
religious convictions and hopes The Rev. J
W. z. Mckenzie ministered to him, and ex-
pressed the hope that his children (two daugh.
tess) would never be held accountable for the
act of their father. His wife attended him to
the scaffold, and staid by him to the last. She
shrieked as the halter was adjusted to his neck,
and when he swung off, she ran to him and en-.
deavored to hold him up, until Sheriff West re-
moved her. Driving the cart from under him,
allowed him to fall about three inches. Pulsa.
ton OF the arteries was perceptible for some
twenty minutes, but there was little struggle
After hanging thirty five minutes he was taken
down, and found stlll warm, so much SO that his
wife entertained for little time belief that
he might be restored. The last that was heard
of him late in the evening, she was attending to
his burial
