EgD- The New Orleans Delta of the Sd
inst, gives the following particulars in ref
erence to the stabbing of Captain Montgom-
cry:
Pritchard, intoxicated, went aboard the
Republic, and behaved rather noisily, upon
which Capt. Montgomery went to him in a
peacea5le way, put his hand on his shoulder,
and got him as far as the companion way,
in his desire to get him off the boat, when
Pritchard suddenly drew bowie and stab
bed him. He did not draw the knife from
the scabbard, but gave the blow with the
knife still in the scabbard. The blow, how
ever, was SO desperate that the knife forced
itself through the end Of the scabbard, and
gave the Captain painful and serious cut
through the ribs. After that, Pritchard was
fallen upon and pretty badly beaten by
others on board the boat, and was finally ta-
ken to the first district lookup. The Cap
tain was brought ashore and his wound ex-
amined 1t was not thought to be danger
Gus. His boat, yesterday, had TO leave
without him. Pritchard, upon arraignment
before Recorder Summers, yesterday, de-
clared that he had no remembrance of the
affair, having been drunk at the time.

To THE Eprroa or THE EVANSVILLE jour


To THE EDrroR OF THE EVANSVILLE jour
NAL: Sir In an article giving re-
misceuccs of Evansville, addressed to Geo.
Foster, aud publishcdin the report of the
Board of Trade of this city, it is mentioned
that when, in consequence of the financial
embarrassment of the State, the works un-
dertaken by her, were suspended, and among
others, the Wabash and Erie Canal, delegates
were sent from this place to Washington,
Daviess County, to convention held there
for the purpose if possible, of providing
means for resusciating the last mentioned
work. The names of the delegates from this
city were mentioned. The writer, though
they were entitled to much honor and praise
for what was done by them while there; for
by then, Il was frat suggested to menorialize
Congress for donation of land, as fund
to finish the canal from Terre Haute to Ey-
ansvillc. That suggestion was carried into
effect, and was the cause Of the completion.
But ia mentioning their names, the writer
forgets to include one who was an efficient
co-worker with them on that occasion--we
allude to Willard Carpenter, Esq.-an al
most objectionable omission, for whatever
measure connected with this work after
its suspension to aid in its resurrection, none
did more-we believe none as much. Who
here, at the time of tue Washington conven-
tion,and for two years previous to that time,
among tbs darkest days ofEyansville--was
so active on this subject? Who can forget
the various meetings got up principally by
his instrumentality, to draw our attention
to it and stimulate our exertion and en-
deavors to build this public work, which VIC
then thought SO necessary to our prosperity !?
Who does not remember the labor and ex-
pense he was at to obtain signers to this
memoriai7 He visited Washington City
and staid there part of the session for the
purpose of inducing Congress to listen to its
prayer. #. ,.s5'.g sa41 I'll is ~
When the grant Of land was obtained, he
attended convention at Terre Haute, held
for the purpose ofdcvising the best means OF
carrying the object of the grant into effect,
He attended two sessions of our Legislature
to aid in bringing about an arrangement
with the bond-holders, which arrangement
terminated in the Butler bill, which accom-
| plished the construction of the canal. No
thing of any consequence was received by
| him to pay the expense he was at, but these
and various others On the same account
| were sustained by himself We have al
ways onsdered that if any person deserved
a monument as the patron and builder of The
Wabash and Eri1 Canal, between Terre
Haute and Evansville it was Willard Car

Arrest OF nm AssasStsa.

The Shreveport (La-1 Gazette gives an
account of the arrest of Edward Ward, a
man belonging to a respectable family, who
had, in cold blood, murdered citizen of.
Shreveport, named Smith. After the muir
der, Ward fed, and the citizens Of Sbreye-
port subscribed a purse of $1,000 as re-
ward for his capture, He was pursued in
all directions, but was not discovered till the
succeeding Sunday night, when he made his
appearance at the plantation of Mr.. Henry
Tatum, near Woodville, in jackson Parish,
Louisiana, where he solicited for the hospi-
talities of the house for the night. -
About o'clock, a negro boy rode over to
Mr.. Tatums with note, conveying the in
telligence that the stranger was Ward, the
murder of Smith that there was a reward
of $500, as stated in the handbills, for his
apprehension. Wards suspicious were
aroused by this note, having supposed that
some person hadrecognized him on the road.
Mr. Tatum tried to allay his fears, by telling
him that the boy belonged to him, and had
returned from hunting stock. This did not
satisfy Ward, and Tatum was forced to tell
him that he was murderer, and could not
leave the room. He had taken precautions
to guard the windows and doors.
AS soon as party of ten men were as
sembled, he approached the door with his
double barrel gun, cooked, and asked Ward
to come out and surrender himself, assuring
him that he should not be hurt, and more
over, if he would provo his innocence, he
would protect him. Ward stated that his
name was Wright, and that he was from
Red River county, Texas; that he was in
nocent and unarmed. Being thus thrown
off their guard, they opened the door and
had entered the room with light, when
Ward who was standing near the fireplace,
with Derringer in each hand fired themin
quick succession, shooting John F. Barnes
through the heart, and John +. Walker
through the neck; springiug towards the
side door, he was shot down by Henry Ia
tum. Five guns had been discharged at
Ward, and he received only one huck-shot
from pistol, which entered his left should
CT. Tue light was extinguiseed in the me-
lee, and Mr.. Tatum dragged one of his
friends out of the reach of Ward, and or
dered lights.
The scene was too terrible for description;
Iuc tlOOr MIS- COFeIeu Will uuIlldu /.
+. Barnes was dead, j. F. Walker, an Of
ficer of the law, was dangerously wounded,
| and Ward was PROSTATE. Ward begged Ia
tum not to shoot him; acknowledged that
he had killed Smith, of Shreveport and call
| ed upon him for protection. Tatum mag
unanimously spared his life, though he had
killed two of his best friends and neigh
| bors. i-,e r.
Barnes is ayoung man about twenty-five
| years of age. Walker is about thirty-six
years of age, and has wife and five chill
dren. The ball having. passed through his
neck and lodged in theihack of his head, he
will, in all probability, die. AZ
The murderer was taken back to Shreve-
port, and it was with extreme difficulty his
captors saved the murderer from being
lynched on his landing. assa 81

Cincinnati Pork Market.

The Price Current Of Wednesday, has the
following comments upon the state Of the
Cincinnati pork market:
The packing season, at this place, has but
barely opened, and yet strange as it may
appear, the market has been as much excited
throughout the week, as we have noticed it
at any time during the season, in other years.
This is an unusual occurrence, and it is the
subject Of very general remark; but as the
buyers are hog dealers and feeders frona the
interior, it will be thus seen this demand is
simply speculative, and the cause of this is
an opinion generally entertained by them
that the crop will prove seriously short,
which, by the way, is not a new idea, with
our Kentucky neighbors in particular. The
buoyant, and excited state of the market no
ticed in our last, continued throughout the
week, became more so from day to day, and
prices advanced fully so cents per cwt, clos
ing firm at Sc IS per hundred pounds net
for hogs for future delivery, say the last two
weeks Of this and the frst two of next
month

Louisiana sugar Crop.

Mr.. William Morton, the Intelligent and
reliable correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Price Current, gives the following account
of this years sugar crop:
The cropis very promising Eastand West;
below Baton Rouge and Louisville. will
make full average crop, providing cold
weather does not set in early. The plant
ers, thus far, are favored With good wealth.
er; nearly all of them are rolling In Point
Coupee, the Ruttoon yielded from 900 10
1000 pounds-the Plant from 200 to L.
500 pounds per arpent; the cane is general
ly fine, and as the season advances, is ex-
pected to yield more. In the Parish of St.
James, the planters speak of the good yield
and excellent quality of the sugar. In the
Parish of St. Hartiers, very fine sugar cane
has been raised from cuttings, imported by
government some time ago; they are of
light green aud mixed crimson and yellow
varieties, and number from twelve to eight
cen joints; and some of the cane is two in
ches in diameter. In the Parish of La
fourche it is stated that the yield is excel
lent in some parts of the Parish; in Others,
quite poor, arising from the drouth during
the past and present month In the Parish
of Rapides, the planters will make fine
crops, and the quality of the sugar now be-
ing made is superior to any ever before made
in the Parish; they are making two hogs
heads to the acre, which is a fine yield
Plantations have already three hundred
hogshead made, while last year at this time
they had just commenced making. If the
weather continues favorable, the largest crop
ever known will be made in the Parish. A
correspondent of the Picdyune, in writing
from Texas in the neighborhood of San An
