wounded i9 the forehead, in her own house on Gal
latin street, by man named Henry Fitzsmmons
Her forehead was badly wounded, and her face
hurt by the flash of the discharge, but it appears
that the bullet did not penetrate her skull. She
fell bleeding and senseless and was taken to Char

geant Raymond aud Corporal Ramel.
Three women, nam, Jane Sullivan, Mary
O'Mara. and Catherine Rosenberg, were arrested
as witnesses-al cypridns, who boarded with Mary
Hughes. Their story is, that Fifz4immons had

Mr.. John G. McClelland, the Chief of Police, was
lately presentedby his friends witha splendid horse
aud buggy, worth at least $1,000. This was Ger
tainly present worth accepting.
On Friday evening, the day officers OF the Secont
District police, through Lieut.. Crevon, presented
the Chief with beautiful and massive watcl
seal, in the shape Of deaths head, with brlants
in tue oye-sockets. This was pleasant, and alto
gethGr surprise.
The testimonials have been well bestowed. i
the Chief could possibly be more active or encr
getic than he has thus far been, such generous
marks of remembrance and appreciation NIGH
well stimulate him to renewed endeavors.

than the q ninth part of man. With his fists
and clothes-pole, he cleaned out Baronne street
from Canal nearly to Poydras-attacking. knock,

everybody he met. He was at last captured and
calaboosed By officer Addison. The tailor was in
a laughing humor, and seemed to have exhibited
his prowess merely by way of joke.

Mr.. RUSSELL PUzZLED.--The N. Y. Times Wash
ngton correspondent says Mr.. Russell, of its Lon
don namesake, is exceedingly puzzled by the com.
plcatons of American politics. He hears such
contradictory explanations from men apparently
eqnally we'll posted that he is at loss to know
what to believe. Of only thing is he sure, viz:
That there is nation earth which hates another
SO cordially as the Southern secessionsts hate the
people of the free States, whom they seem to look
upon as their bitter and uncompromising enemies.

UNION AND CANCELLATION.

The States of the Southern Confe1eracy arc now
/ threatened with the forcible domination of the
North. Northern vessels Of war are in our waters
Northern hrCiug soldiers are on board those YES
sells, an important fort in neighborng State is in
Ip6sscssion of the enemy, and the blockade of our
poWts is not at all improbable There is, among
ouTpeople, unanimous spirit OF resistance. In all
matters involving the defence of the South, her
people and her property, as well as her honor and
her rights, there is diversity Of sentiment among
u.s. All alike stand in an attitude Of firm and i'm
patient defiance.
In this condition OF affairs, there is no occasion
for any revival OF old party issues or organizations
in our midst, but every reason why these things
should be studiously ignored. Maor differences of
opinion about things of the past must give way be-
fore the stern and imperative necessities of the
present. Whatever may have been thought three
months ago about the true policy of the South,
however widely men may have differed, and how
ever ferccly they may have disputed, tho time has
now come when all this should be forgotten.
Nothing is to be gained but much may be lost, by
raking ap the expiring embers of old party feuds,
and blowing them into an active flame.
q Many Of those who were of the g 'Co0perationN y
aparty three months ago, were then, and are now, ,
as true and trusty friends Of tho South as those
4 whose convictions of duty led them to- advocate
Immediate secession. The end that both sides
aimed at, with some individual exceptions of
course, was the same, only that they proposed to
reach it by different means Any attempt to excite
hostility political personal, against those who
differed from as to the proper mode of asserting
The independence of the South, deserves universal
reprobation. The time has come when bygones
should be bygones, when the party divisions of the
past, and the petty immateria issues Of the present.
should give place to grander aud nohler sentiments.
j AWhen the honor and the integrity of tho South are
Z at stake, aud powerful enemy menaces us almost
! at our very doors, he is but poor patriot who
would introduce inferior questions ofpoicy cast
4 Hsuspicion upon those who, though they may have
been mistaken in the past, will be among the truest,
and readiest, and most faithful defenders of the
Southern cause in tho presence of actual danger.
