Further From the Lockr,dge Expedition.

The telegraphic dispatches in the Natchez Courier
of Saturday last regarding the disastrous termination
of the Lockridge expedition much complete
than those received in this city We extract the fol-
lowing:
New YORK, April 16.-Gen. Walkers position is
considered here hopeless. The whole of San Juan
river is in possession of the Costa Ricans, and it is
impossible for Walker to receive supplies except via
Panama, which is consideredsperilous and uncertain.
The Explosion Steamer Scott.-The explosion
on board the steamer Scott on the San Juan river,
was caused ny some one throwing keg OF powder
grounded on a sand bar, and Immediately blew up
with tremendous explosion. She was crowded to
her utmost capacity the second deck being used as
hospital. N5S
Thirty persons were killed instantly or thrown into
the water, and never heard of afterwards !; having
been drowned or deyoured by alligators. About
thirty badly scalded, many of whom have since
died. $751;. .... -s -
The scene after the explosion was horrible beyond
description !; men shouting, screaming and begging
to be shot, and thus to end their misery Nearly all
of Lockridges volunteers were blown up.
The forward part of the boat not torn to pieces
and those saved remained on the portion resting
the sand bar until taken of. When they got down
to Punta Arenas the British vessels sent them sur
geons with OIL wine, ETC., to make them as comforta-
| BILE as possible.
Among the killed was Major Maury, who went ont
with the last detachment from Texas via New Orleans
At the time of the explosion, the Rescue was about
quarter of a mile behind. She Immediately Fro
ceeded to pick up the injured and take them ashore.
There were no accommodations, and all were placed
on the ground, with nothing them and suffering
| horribly. Of Lockridges command, who went out on
the steamer Texas, forty of them has been con-
| fined in hospital with diseases incident to a new
climate. Their treatment was most shameful at the
hospital at Surepqu which consisted of an old shed
forty feet long and twenty feet wide, foored with
| bamboo cane, upon which the men were compelled to
| lie, without even straw under them.

A WONDERFUL DIsCoyERY.-From recent Paris
correspondence published in the New York Times,
we extract the following:
In 1852 few grains of wheat were discovered in
the tombs of some mummies found in the south of
France, supposed to have been two thousand years
old. These grains of Egyptian wheat were planted,
and produced to the surprise of every one, 200 to
l! The Government took the affair in hand and
consigned the management of it to the farmers of the
Government farm at Rambouillet The result has
been most astonishing. Each year the product has
been magnifed in such an immense proportion over
the preceding year that the Minister of Agriculture
is enabled to distribute over France large guam
tity of this wheat to each of the departments gratu
itously with instructions from the Government farm
as to the best mode of cultivation. AT late meet
ing of the Academy of Sciences, the Baron De Men
neville presented several stocks of this reseneraed
Egyptian wheat which were six feet high and bore
each several fine ears French lady explained, in
my hearing the other day, this great multiplying
power of the Egyptian wheat by the long rest it had
had 1t is great and important discovery for the
study Of agriculturalists.

THE SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION TO FLoRIDA.-Durng
the latter part OF February exploring expedition
was sent from Williams College to Florida, under
charge of Professor Chadbourne. The Professor re-
turned about two weeks ago, and the remainder Of
the company are expected at the close of the month";
The Pttsfed Eagle gives a brief account Of the ope
rations Of the expedition On arriving at ST. Mary's
the party separated part taking the schooner for Key
West and Cuba, and the others remaining at Fernan
dina to explore Northern Florida. Professor G. was
with the latter division. The Eagle says:
He reports it successful in collecting numerous and
valuable specimens Of BIRDS Shells serpents, crusta
cea etc. only limited in quantity by time for packing
and ability for transporting also store of knowledge
that Can nowhere else be obtained, and the acquant
anCe Of several Southern gentlemen, enthusiastic in
pursuit of this science, which of itself will be small
benefit to the society. Sub-expedtons were made in
North Florida A couple Of the adventurous fellows
took weeks tramp to Okefenokee swamp and pro-
| cured q ' gopher.'
They visited a planter who, with his thousand
slaves, was devoted naturalist. On his plantation
was house containing five hundred brds--such as
could be placed in proXmity-aud forty negroes were
employed in tending them. Here also were some
rattesnakes OF large size. skeleton Of one was II

snake already coed, made spring at his face which

TIE JUDICIAL ELECTION IN ST. BERNARD AND
PLAouEMINEs.-On Friday last the Secretary of State
and Auditor of Public Accounts decided in favor of
the election of Mr.. Foulhouze The facts as learned
them are these The Police Jury of Plaquemnes fixed
the places for holding the election. AT one of the
precincts when one Of the commissioners arrived at
the house. the owner said the election should not be
held there, whereupon he went about two miles to his
own plantation, and after appointing another COM
missioner was sworn, and third being appointed
they proceeded to receive about forty votes. When
the two absent commissioners arrived the polls were
closed The Sheriff first return omitted the vote at
this precinct which elected Mr.. Rousseau. In a
second return he makes an affidavit that the first was
made under coercion threats of personal violence
and then proceeds to give the votes and facts attend
ing the election. After full examination Major Her.
ron and Col. Marks decided that Mr.. Foulhouze was
entitled to the commission, and it was so issued.
1t strikes us as righteous decision though they had
to decide against party predictions. It's but another
evidence OF their personal integrity being superior to
political partisanship [Baton Rouge Gazette, 10th.

AMERICAN NOMINATIONS FOR CONGRESS IN THE
THIRD DIsTRICT.-We have been asked frequently
Will not a nomination for Congress be made by the
American party OF the Third District at the Conven
tion in June! In reply we can only say the Amer
can party, when in convention, will decide as to its
course OF action. Were we now to give expression to
our sentiments, they would but be ours and q few
friends with whom we have conyersed. We are con-
ident of one act-unless the nominee Of our oppo
nents shall be above suspicion on Squatter Sover
eighty, Southern Rights and Alien Suffrage, there
will not only be nomination but an almost assurance
of success. We may however in this connection, ex-
press again the hope that our friends will meet toge-
ther for the purpose of consulting as to the best
means of relieving State from her present condi-
ton and impending ruin than to discuss federal ques-
tions Or national politics. We some time since ex-
pressed wish that Louisiana could not hear from
Washington in four years. Now since the Federal
appointments for the State have all been made, we
feel more inclined than that such should be the
case. Modern Democracy at Washington will work
its own cure by few more alien aud suffrage bills.

OLD DOCUMENTS. were shown, yesterday, an
original letter from George Washington to the pres.
dent of a meeting held in 1895, in South Carolina
approving some bill just passed by Congress- Also
the original letter addressed by Gen. jackson to his
friend and second, Gen Oyerton in the duel with
Dickinson. He tells Gen. O. he will either wipe out
the ISLANDERS with the blood of Dickinson fall him
self-no compromise can be listened tothe time early
as possible The General used very strong language.
1t will be recollected that the duel fought at
twenty four paces Dicknsons ball severely wounded
the General and D. fell mortally wounded. The gen.
teman who has the letter proposes soon to give it to
the public, with other documents None of which
have ever been published. The letter shown us was
in the private papers Of the late Gen. Overton, of
this State. [Baton Rouge Gazette, 18th.

How THEY VorED.-In the recent municipal cleo
ton in st. Louis there were three candidates for
Mayor, Winner, the Freesoil Democratic candidate,
Pratte, the anti-Benton candidate, and Lane, the
American candidate Winner was elected by plurai-
ty of LIS votes Pratte who received the next
highest number of votes. 1t was known that the
Americans had more votes than the antiBenton party
and many were surprised at Lanes vote falling be-
hind that of Pratte. 1t has been ascertained that
they were influenced by the chance" cry to cast
their votes for Prate with the hope of beating Winner
The lntelgencer says: The Missouri Republican,
in its usual malignant course toward the American
party in St. Louis asserts that they voted for Winner
for Mayor. This is not true. Ten American votes
were cast for Pratte where one was for Winner The
entire river vote, which is American, was notori
ously cast for Pratte-the river men, with hundreds
of other Americans, having believed the Republican
silly story that Pratte the only man who could
beat the Black Republican ticket. Pratte was run
by the antBentons, who notoriousy cannot poll 800
votes in st. Louis city, aided by the Republican
clique, who can control 100 more. Here are 600 (of
the six hundred y National Democrats, Mr. Prattes
rightful hackers. Yet he received 3 700 votes Full
two thousand ofthem Americans, who left theil
candidate, DR.. Lane and strove to beat Winner by
voting for Pratte. louisville Journal.

A New INSTRUMENT OF Observation-Disclosures
REFNEMENT-In letter from the Turin correspond
ent Of the London Times, we find the following:
His Majesty of the Two sicies has recently intro
duced new luxury into his prison discipline in addi-
tion to the many already existing 1t is called cap
of silence (cua di saensio), and both for the parti
cular purpose for which it is ostensbly applied, and
instrument of torture generally it may, perhaps
be considered superior in refinement to the celebrated
'ron mask" or any of the engines of antiquity The
invention is due to the genius of Signor Baona In
spector of Police at Palermo and it appears to have
been so highly approved by the King of Naples that
he Immediately decorated the talented and phian-
thropc gentleman with the order of Francis I. This
cap, cutid, consists of circular band of steel,
passing round the head just above the eyes, with
semicircuar band of the material connecting it

this superstructure is chin strap of steel WIRE grow
ing broader towards the bottom, to confine the
lower jaw completely, and make it utterly impossible
to articulate when the bands on the head are
properly screwed up and, to complete the adjust
ment, there is strap OF leather, with buckle at
tached to the chin strap which passes round the back
of the neck just below the ears and keeps the latter
firm in its place. 1t is said that the first experiments
made with this novel instrument OF torture were on
two persons called Lore and De Medci, and that the
| former suffered so much from it that he remained
senseless for some time, and gaoler who saw him.

Baona consented to allow the cap to be !, moved
from the unfortunate prisoner, who was al length re-
stored to life, after copous bleeding and other
remedies; but he ordered punishment Of fifteen
blows of stick to the gaoler in order to check his
over-zealous charity in future.
1t is positively asserted that the King personally
sent orders to Prince Castelcicaa, the Governor of
Sicily to have to these diabolical to

THE SEMNoLEs-A dispatch of the 10th from
Washington says: ..
The Secretary of the Interior has given full nstuc
tions to Messrs. Rector and Garrett, who have left
Washington for the scene of their duties to organize
delegation from the Creeks and Semnoles residing
west Of the Mississippi to proceed to Florida in the
autumn on especial business to persuade Bowegs and
his followers to evacuate.
The Florida Seminoles, as the government is
aware too proud to be forced to this step at the
point of the bayonet, and hence the resort to peace
full measures, which will it is confidently believed &C.
complish that important measure. In view of the
above mentioned design, there will be no active mill
tary movements in Florida.

UNPRoFITABLE LoouAo1rY-A Warling to Ply
scians.-Dr. Locock, the Queens physician has been
peremptorily dismissed from furherattcndance on the
royal family where he has been hitherto admitted on
terms of familiar intercourse. His salary, IS 900 per
annum, royal present on each safe delivery of the
Queen and large practice among the nobility, is no
small loss The doctor has made every effort towards
reconciliation, but the Queen remains mexorahle. II
seems that it came to the Queens ears that DR.. Lo
cock was given to too much talking, and that though
she told Prince Albert that his habit of sleeping be
tween the blankets was a vulgar, dirty Dutch prac
tice" she did not care to have it told abroad.
