The MURDER AND EXCITEMENT AT NEW Or
.LEANs.-lt was announced by telegraph, OF
| Saturday week, that much excitement prevail
ed in New Orleans, in consequence of th'
murder Of a man named Wight, by another
named Blackwood. The Picayune OF the Isl
instant, has the following account of the muir.
der
About ten days ago, @. W. A. Wright and
wife arrived in this city from South Carolina,
he being in the employ of Toby's Express
Company. They took board at Mrs. Lenses,
corner OF canal and Baronne streets, where
Mr.. w. registered himself byhis proper name,
with the addition of sand lady," Afterwards, a
man who had been several days at the house was
requested to register his name, which he did
Immediately under Wright's, and so near to it
that the E'and lady'' might be taken at hasty
glance as belonging to the latter name. After
being at the house few days, Mr.. Wright,
moved to another boarding house at the oppo-
site side of Canal street, and subsequently he
heard that story had been circulated to the
effect that he was passing by two names. This
story he eventually traced to boarder at Mrs.
Leases, named George G. Blackwood, who
was recently employed as dry goods clerk in
a store on Canal street. Feeling himself ag-
grieved, Mr.. w. complained good deal oil the
unfounded story, and charged Blackwood with
having circulated a talsehOod concerning him.
This state of things led to one or two inter-
views, and on Friday, it is said, Blackwood
watched for Wright on the street, but failed to
meet him.
Thus matters passed till yesterday, when Mr..
w. went from the office of Toby's Express tor
his dinner. While at dinner it was observed
that Blackwood was walking up and down on
the street, and Mr. Wright was advised not to
go out. lie replied that he had to go back TO
the office and should at least attempt to do so.
He then went down stairs, and as he stepped
on the sidewalk Blackwood met him, and asked
him if he would stake back that expression"
Not receiving a satisfactory answer, he at once
struck Mr.. W.. knocked him down and kicked
him, and again and again hc knocked him
down as he attempted to rise, and finally cut
him with a bowie knife entirely across the low
er part of tho abdomen, and stabbed him to
the heart. AT this juncture Mrs. Wright ran
out, and crying s'Ohl my husband ~ caught
him IN her arms, aud they both fell together,
she having tainted, and he being already dead.
The scene was truly u melancholy one, as
husband and wife were conveyed insensible
into the house, he to awaken in ssthat undis-
turbed country" and she to the sorrows of
widowhood. Backw ood walked off in the
meantime, but was in short time pursued and
arrested, and is now in prison. On the body of
Mr.. Wright an inquest was held, and yer-
dict was rendered attributing death to wounds
inflicted by Blackwood. Wright was native
of New York, and but twenty-four years of
age. He was a slight, weak man, far gone in
consumption, and was but as child in the
hands of his assailant.

IRON WASHINGTON.

AUGUST 3l.-Captain Hudson, command
ing the Niagara, in communicating withsthe
Navy Department the particu lars in regard
to the accident, says he has every reason to
believe, from what has thus far been eXpe-
rienced in wire laying, that under ord nary
circumstances of weather and with ma
chinery adapted to the purpose for altering
and improving, the Cable may be laio in
safety on the track marked cut for it in the
Atlantic Ocean. He says, at the time the
cable parted. the Companies Chief Engi-
neer, Charles F. Bright and men were at
tending their breaks TO lessen the expedi-
tion OF the cable until it was finally carried
away, which made all hands, throughout
the day, feel like household family who
had lost their dearest friend. Our officers
and men had become deeply interested in
the success of the enterprise.
The Treasury Department has just paid
between $500 900 and $500 900 to Mary
land, interest Oh half million dollars, to
which the United Stf ties became indebted
to that State during the war of 1912. The
principal was paid between 1913 and 1922.
The Secretary of the Interior has instruct
ed the United States Marshall to take the

The Intelligency of the Capture of Delhi

of The Bombay Telegraph and Courier, (which

Since the publication of our las sum-
mary, great events have transpiret Delhi
has fallen, and upwards of 1000 mutineers
have been put to the edge of the sword.
The army of retribution, under Gen. Bar
nard, arrived before Delhi on the Sth inst.
On reaching Caidle Serace, the English
general found the mutineers strongly posted
in an entrenched position, completely pro,
tected by strong park of artillery. After
recOnnoitering the position of the enemy.
Gen. Barnard at once brought up his col,
umns to attack The insurgents Tough,
with the most determined bravery, their
guns were well served, and they seemed to
be uuder the guidance OF leaders well versed
in the science of war. All theft efforts, how
ever, TO maintain their position, were
unavailing;it was carried at the point of the
bayonet, and they were ultimately driven
within the walls of Delhi with great slaugh-
ter, and the loss OF twenty-six guns. The
loss On our side was, ,comparativly speaking
tiifling-only some forty or fifty of..our men
have fallen. Amongst this number was Col.
Chester, the adjutant general of the army,
an officer whom General Barnard said that
she was esteemed by all fer every qualifca-
tion which could adorn soldier Peace be
with his remains.
The conduct of the troops, European and
Native was most praiseworthy. They WED

to be actuated by one feeling-a thirst Tor
vengeance
The interval between the 8th and 18th
the day upon which the city was stormed-
seemed to have been occupied by G Gnera
Barnard in cannonading and shelling the
city. As soon as practicable, breaches had
been made in he walls, and the town was
carr led by assault. Full particulars, however
have not yet been received ;but it must have
been gallant affair. From the news which
we have received from private source we
learn that the mutineers fought like fends

BELMONT, April 18th, 1857.
EDITOR CHRONICLE, Sir: l extend you
my most 'hearry' congratulations on the very
great mprovement, manifested in the Chron-
icLe within the past few weeks. l hear 1t
remarked Oh every side, that the Chronicle
has improved very much lately. Now l do
rot tell you this out Of flattery, but think
it due to any persons who has the labor and
vexation of conducting public paper, that
he should know the estimation in which his
paper is held by the reading community.
Now you have SO many correspondents
from various parts, and particularly from
this point, that it would seem out of place
for me to pitch in, but there is one subject
that think is too much neglected, that i S
securing subscribers for your paper. While
all admit that the paper is a good one, and
are anxious to peruse it as soon as they get
| it from the Office, or borrow it from neigh
bor. vet when asked to subscribe they say,
oh! know it is good paper but | take one
or two now, and that is as much as | can
afford; to such, would say ifyou cannot
afford to take any more, stop some of those
you are taking, land support your own Coun-
ty paper. Who is it that is not interested
| in the transactions throughout the county?
and how can they get SO we'll as from a
paper that has so many correspondents, as
the Chronicle Then | claim it to be the
duty of those Correspondents, TO secure you
new subscribers, they wish their communi-
cations published, but how long can this be
done, if the paper is not sustained. Now
Mr.. Editor although you have pretty large
list..of subscribers here,please add the name
Of, to that list, and will promise some
more drops occasionally, and if every one
that feels an interest, will take some trouble
your list can soon be largely increased.
