REINFoRCEMENTs FOR WALKER.-A vessel was to
leave New Orleans for Ruatan some day this week.
taking out considerable number of passengers to
be employed in way foreshadowed by the follow
ing, from the Delta of the 29th:
She will carry such passengers as desire to visit
that interesting part of the world, but will not take
any arms, or munitions of war. Whether the per-
sons who will leave this port in the vessel referred
to, intend ultimately to join Gen. Walker is not
our business, or anybody else's. They will violate
no law either, but will only do just what every
American citizen has right to do-engage in a
legal voyage, in a legal way We presume thew
will not be interfered with by Government officers
but will be permitted to proceed, unmoested, to
their destination. Nevertheless we suppose the
law must be enforced, though in enforcing it, it is
to be hoped the Government will not go out of its
way. We repeat, that the persons who are about
to leave this port whether they intend TO join Gen.
Walker or not, will not violate the law either in
its letter OF its spirit
FATAL ACCIDENT NEAR WHEEL1NG.-On Wednes-
day the Hon. Lewis Steenrod, in company with his
mother and a small negro girl, were going towards
Wheeling in a carriage, and whilst ascending the
hill East of town, in order to avoid some fresh
stone upon the road, drove near the high embank-
ment or precipice, which is only partially protected
by stone wall. wagon load of boards was COM
ing down the hill, at which Mr.. Steenrod's horse
became frightened, and suddenly jumped, or fell,
over the precipice. The occupants of the carriage
were thrown out the vehicle went over and
horse, carriage and all, were sent rolling down the
hill. Mrs. Steenrod was the first to recover, and
gaining sitting position, picked up the little negro
girl, who was near, and asked her if she was hurt
She had scarcely done so, when she fell back
corpse Mr.. Steenrod had two ribs broken and
was so badly injured that he may not recover The
negro girl was not seriously injured. There were
no perceptbe njuries discovered upon Mrs. Steen-
rod, and it is supposed that, being quite aged-past
seventy-and very feeble withal, she must have
died from fright.
RIGHTS OF OWNERS OF ToMBs.-The Supreme
Court of New York has decided that owners of
tombs under churches and in church yards have
only an easement in, and not title to, the free
hold, and that the remains in such tombs IN ay be
removed when the altered circumstances of the
church require their removal the church corpora

and discharge all easements. This decision does
not apply to what the judge calls separate indie
