Near the close OF the last session OF Con-

presented memorial charging Senators Sill
dell and Benjamin, of that State, with hav-
ing procured an act OF Congress surrepti-
tiously confirming the Houmas land grant,
by which FIVE hundred families were turned
out Of their homes in Louisiana and several
hundred thousand dollars worth OF property
voted into the pocket of Slidell, with the Al
legation that Mr.. Benjamin received certain
ly ten thousand, and probably forty thous-
and dollars for his services in procuring the
grant. Congress, having no time to examine
the question, passed Joint resolution sus-
pending the issuing Of the patent until the
end OF this session of Congress, with knowl-
edge that this question would come before
the committee Of private land claims at this
session, and that the accusers are now in this
city, renewing the charges. Mr.. Benjamin,
who is the party implicated, has been ap-
pointed Chairman OF the Committee 10 in

extract from private Washington letter:
"Positivo information is now on record
here, that incendiary Abolition articles and
documents, which the Tribune will not pub
iish, are regularly sent over to the Herald
with a request for publication, and that these
requests are never refused. Upon this SUBJ

whence the information comes cannot be
made public until the action pointed out has

A Richmond [Va.) correspondent Of the
New York Herald says:
was present to day at conversation be-
tween Gov. Wise and several members OF
the Legislature, on subjects relating to the
Harper's Ferry outbreak. One OF the mem
hers asked the Governor what he thought of
the Union now. The Governors reply was,
that he believed ii to be as strong as ever
The member, in utter surprise, asked him to
state his reasons for this strange belief
The Governor said that there were elements
enough still existing to hold the Union to-
gether; that the relations of these elements
to each other were Of character 80 strong
and abiding as to render their severance next
to impossible. The Union was, he said,
growing too fast, and temporary check or
difficulty, such as the present agitation seems
to present, was inevitable but he believed
that, in TEN years, the Union would be
stronger and more consolidated than it ever
has been.
IsYAsTrcrDH.-OR Tuesday morning last
our usually quiet city was thrown into a
whirl of excitement by the discovery that q
widow woman naiaed Moor, residing in the
eastern part of town, had given birth to a
child, which had been made way with in
some manner which demanded explanation.
When questioned upon the subject, she first
denied having given birth to a child, and
suffered an examination to be made by Ply
sioans. When the former surmises were
confirmed by this examination and the wo-
man was asked concerning the matter and
assured that her obstinacy would not screen
her from justice, but would only cause lit.
tie trouble 10 search and investigation, she
admitted that she had had q child, but said
it was ill-born. She was then questioned
concerning the whereabouts of the body, and
after some hesitation told that it was in the
box OF the privy, to which place those pres
ent resorted and found the body as she had
stated, covered up with ashes and cinders.-
Ii was taken out and removed to the court
house, where, as coon as the Coroner could
be notified, post mortem examination and
inqnest was held over it. The examination
resulted in the discovery that the child had
been born alive and had came to it's death by
strangulation. The verdict Of the Coroner's
jury has not yet been reported. The heart
less mother has been arrested, however, and
is now in custody Of the proper officers.
Mrs. Moor has resided in this place sew
eral years, is respectfully connected, and,
until very recently has, we believe, main
tanned q character unreproached.
