The Matthias Point Affair.
6peclal 70 Chicago Times.l

WAsHIKGrOx, June 2s.
The eity wss startled, to-day, BY the arrival Of
the steamer Fawnse with news OF the sad result Of
IN attempt to plant battery ~ Matthias Point.
below Aguis Creek the steamer bringing also the
dead body Of Capt. Jas II. Ward. Who lost his
life IN the unequal engagement. Capt. Ward was
in command Of : q. 3. Aotiila, and vas shot on
board the Freeborn, while bravely attempting to
his s0ali force. He had landed them at the Point
fer the purpose Of erecting breastwork of sand
bags, but they weee surprised BY nearly thou
sand rebels, and compelled to retreat under every
circumstance Of disadvantage. While sighting 4
S2-pounder he was struck in the breast by . mus
ket ball, and, though seriously wounded, he con-
tinued to ire for three-quarteTs Of an hour. lie
was then compelled to leave his post, and died in
. few minutes. Seine of the sailors were left on
tho shore, owing to the precpitate retreat to the
boats, and these swan to the Freedom, one Of
them carrying . wounded comrade on his back,
and another boldly waving a Union Gag, which
vas perforated BY NO less than nnsteen balls be-
fore ho reached the vessel. Besides Capt. Ward
tho men were wouadsd, and ons OF them il is
supposed cannct recover. Capt ara was : very
efhcient Onicer, and was most enth usiasticay At
tached to tho cause OF the Union. His rreyious
exploits aiong tho Potomac had won him . meas
ure of esteem which renders his sad fate in this
last instance, . loss to be deplored.
There is . rum0r tonight that strong expedi-
tion will be sent down T. Matthias Point to
avenge his death. The Point is important to our
control Of the Potomac and an effort will no doubt
be made to get and hold it.
We were again disappointed-as indeed We are
used to being-in the expectations of forward
novement last night. To night nearly all the
brigade commanders Of the army in Virgins are

RopuaiQti0n In ST. L0niA.

From the zrib~,se's special tcle-
graphic dispatches, we learn that Mayor
Taylor recommends reputation as the
easiest and quickest way to pay the
debts Of the city due to non- residents.
He and his friends will find that it is
the most costly method by which money
obligations were ever discharged. If
anything could be fouler and more dis
honest than Secession itself, the disre-
gard Of plighted faith in business trans
actions, would have the palm for rascal
ity." We hope for the good name of
St. Louis, that the statement is false.
We shall see.

The Durch Case.

The Chicago Times has information
that Judge Norton, in the matter of the
application OF Birch for new trial OF
the famous divorce case, granted new
trial. This action has taken every one
BY surprise. 1t is doubted whether
Burch will bring OIL q new trial, now
that he may if he will. Judge Norton
decided the application upon a purely
technical point.
The same paper says that Captain
Ward Of the Freeborn, who was killed
at his gun at Point Matthias, has fam
lily residing in Henry county, Illinois,
near the Burlington and Quincy Road.
We may be mistaken in our statement
OF Saturday, that his family resides in
Rock Island county.

AMUSING SCENE IN FRONT OF THE
ragged. tattered. and patched piece Of bunting
our Gazette neighbors display from the balco-
ny in front Of their office. 1t was in connec-
ton with that, that very amusing scene took
Saturday. Some days ago, our neignbors re-
ceived from Captain Bob. a secession flag,
which of course was much visited by citizens,
and the fame thereof reached into the country,
where it was understood that the same could
be seen floating in front of the office Of that
great family newspaper.
On Saturday two good, solid. mstronly
looking country women were in town. and
thought that they would take . look at the
emblem Of the ''seceshers." Coming around
in front cf the post Office. one Of them took .
look at the Gazette's Stars and Stripes (ths ee.
ce-sion flag Was MT visible) which were con.
siderably twisted up, as ueual, and presented .
very slovenly appearance. and catching hold
