ARE BEES DOMESTIC ANIMALS "A sin GU
lar point Of law was recently submitted to
the Imperial Court of Limoges, in France,
namely, whether bees are TO be ranged in
the class of what the law calls domestic an
imals," or are to be considered as "wild and
ferocious" A laborer named Sauvenet,
Of Cbenerailles, proceeded on the 18th Of
October, 1859, to extract the honey from
beehive in the garden Of his employer, a
tax-gatherer, named Beraud. This rritated
the bees, and they few wildly about. At
that moment farmer, named Legrand. Of
Peripiroles, accompanied by bis son, boy
of IS, came up the road in a gig, and the
bees stung them and the horse severely
The animal in terror began prancing furi-
ously, and the father and bis son jumped
out of the vehicle the boy then ran along
the road, trying to avoid the bees, but the
horse, having started off, knocked him
down, and so injured him that he died in
few hours. Legrand afterward brought an
action before the Civil Tribunal of Aubus.
son against Beraud and Sauvenet, to OBJ.
tain from them 5000 francs as indemnity
for the death Of his son, which, be said must
be considered as caused by the bees. But
the Tribunal held that bees are "ferOcious
animals" which no one can be expected to
control and therefore the action could not
be maintained. An appeal was presented
to the Imperial Court of Limoges. and, af-
ter long argument. contrary decision was
come to, the Court laying down that bees
are domestic animals" and that the own
er OF them 10 responible for any injury they
may commit It therefore ordered that 200
francs be paid to the plaintiff.

The Naval 11xpedltlon-Port Royal.

The Naval ExpeditiOn-POrt Royal.
The Bulletin, of Saturday, referring TO
the statement of the New York World, that
the naval expedition was destined for Port
Royal, says;
Aside from the pOsitiveness with which
this statement is made by a respectable
newspaper, there are the best of reasons for
giving 1t entire credence. Port Royal is
situated on the coast of South Carolina,
some so miles south of Charleston, and not
more than 20 10 25 miles north of Savan.
nah. By observing the map of that portion
of the country, it will be seen that no more
favorable location on the Southern coast
could have been selected for the debarka-
tion of troops. Being but short distance
from two important shipping ports, our ar
my once landed would threaten each. and
thus make it necessary to have two Confed-
crate armies of equal strength to our own,
in order to protect both Charleston and
Savannah. Each of these cities commands
an extensive cotton country. being the two
great Atlantic ports for that article, and
having railway communication with all the
Cotton States. With proper efforts, such
body Of Federal troops may be thrown into
South Carolina and Georgia, after either
Savannah or Charleston has fallen, as will
place those States completely at the mercy
of the Government thus transferring the
war to a very great extent from the Border
States to the very heart of the Confederacy,
besides partially solving the cotton ques
tion.
Port Royal is so situated that it is utter
ly impossible TO hinder the debarkation Of
troops at that point. With, say. 10000
troops landed there, acting in conjunction
with naval force, it will be utterly impOs-
sible to send sufficient Confederate troops
to both Savannah and Charleston 10 pre-.
vent one or the other of those cities from
being captured and when our troops have
secured either of these important land
points, with the sea also under their con-
troll they will be in better condition to
reopen the cotton trade than the Confeder-
ates are to suppress it.
The Confederates must send very large
force South If they have any idea of hold
ing either Charleston or Savannah and
keeping control of the different railroads
which converge at those cities. To attempt
this difficult task they must withdraw their
forces from Virginia to an extent that will
necesstate complete change of the seat
of war from the border and half loyal
States to the very heart of the insurrectiOn,
where the full penalties of their crimes
should be felt. The rebellion must now
take formidable proportions-the Confed-
crate army must be greatly increased and
show Immediately immense energy, or our
difficulties will henceforth assume better
aspect.

TEXANS AT HERMosLLO.-A cOrrespOn-
dent of the Bulletin, writing from Quay.
mas. Oct. 1ltb, says a large number of 10y
al Texans, who had been driven from their
homes and country by the threats and per-
secutons Of the secessionists, had recently
arrived at Hermosillo. Sonora. He gives
the names of W. II. Haskell and family, Of
Illinois; II. X. Snow and family, New
Hampshire; A. Lereau and family, Illinois,
- Gassare and family, Jesse Geib, G. F.
Bowers, Pennsylvania; Charles O'Brien,
Fred. Rafilias, Illinois; 7. Barker, Mis-
souri,; John Barnett, Virginia; and Mrs. A
Hepburn. Ohio. The tales which they relate
of seizures ofproperty, murders on account
of locality of birth, or opinion, the peremp-
tory orders to leave the country, and at the
same time, prohibitions to take property OF
effects of any kind with them, are horrible.

FATAL AFFRAY IN SOUTHERN OREGON
At a shooting match, near the residence of
Columbus Gall, on Sans Creek, near jack
sonville, Southern Oregon, Robert Wilson
shot and killed Peter Scott. 1t appears,
says the Jacksonville Sentinel, that there
had been feud Of some weeks standing
between the parties when they met at the
above place. Wilson had bis rife with him
for the purpose of contendiDg for the priz-
es. Scott approached him in an insulting
manner Wilson requested him to keep
away, and stepped behind third person to
avoid him. Scott followed up few steps,
and put his right hand up TO his left breast,
as IL in the act of drawing weapon. At
this demonstration Wilson fired, the ball
taking effect in the left breast, killing
Scott instantly. Wilson Immediately gave
himself up to Justice Nye. On examina-
ton of the body Of Scott by the Coroner,
a navy revolver, fully charged, was found
in the left pocket Of his overshirt. After
examination, Wilson was discharged, it be-
ing clearly shown that be acted in self de-
fense.

ADULTERATIoN OF SILK FABRCs-WHAT
JUTE Is.-What is jute? is question often
asked by the general reader. This article,
well known to those engaged in the East
India trade, played an important part in
the recent great fire in London. 1t has
been demonstrated that it is a rather unsafe
article to stow away, on account Of its easy
ignition aud tendency to spontaneous COM
bustion. 1t is also unsafe in another par
ticular, for it is the great adulteratiOn OF
silk. Jute is the fiber of species Of hemp
(botanically speaking, the "corcbOrus cap
sularis'') which is grown in the East Indies,
chiefly in Bengal. The same class of men
who put shoddy into cloth, logwocd into q
villainous compound aud then call it port
wine, adulterate silk with silk jute. 1t has
lustrous, silky appearance, and the fraud
is not easily detected. A recent English
writer In the TecbnOlogist says that, thapks
to jute there is scarcely piece of sound
genuine silk in the country, and the conse-
quence is "that the so.called silk fabrics,
instead of lasting for generations, as they
did in the time Of our grandmothcrs and
great-grandmothers- last the brief
period of the latest new fashion. The reason
of this is evident-for in preparing this f.
ber for the market it is necessary to cause
it to almost putrefy in order to develop the
fine silky character so much valued in the
jute intended for export In India the cloth
made from the fiber is much stronger and
more durable, because they do not take
such care 10 sleeping it for home consump-
tion. la Ure's PHILOSOPHY of Manufac-
tuers" (latest edition) a writer says of jute:
Ia Al -
broadclotbs, and also with silk, and, from
its lustre, can scarcely be detected" Why
cannot jute be turned to more honorable
and useful purpose than aduleration? DR..
Forbes Watson says that ats production
admits of unlimited extension )" and who
knows but the great paper, rag and cotton
questions may be somewhat solved by jute?

AN ERRoR.-We notice in the list of
companies published in the indianapolis
papers, as rendered to the Governor for SER
vice whenever he may order them, the ar
tilIery company of this city under Captain
Klaus. This company was organized sole
ly for home protection. Captain Thomp-
sons company, now in Camp Baker, should
be inserted in place of Captain Klauss's ar
tillery. We couldn't think of losing the
only artillery in the city, and be left totally
defenseless, by having Captain KIauss order
ed to some other point.

Capt. Thompson's company-the
Crescent City Guards-in all the glory of
bright muskets and red shirts visited our
city yesterday, and paraded through sever
al of the principal streets. The rapidity
with which they have improved in drill
was spoken of with admiration by all who
saw them. Indeed, they marched, wheeled
and filed, with all the precision of ld.veter-
ans. In firing salutes-and the Journal
office was complimented with one-the load
ing was done promptly and uniformly, and
the guns discharged so nearly at one time, as
to create the impression, hat tbut one piece
had been fred. Capt. Thompson has good rea-
son to be proud of his company. A finer
looking body of men it will be hard to find,
and their pluck fully corresponds with their
appearance. We have no fears for the hon
or of the Hoosier State, when placed in
such hands.

among the invaders of their homes with
their old fowIing pieces. We certainly can
do as much These are no times to hoot at
intimations of danger. By means of Rail-
roads and Steamboats,, 1000 Confederate
troops could be precipitated on our city be-
fore we had the least warning of their ap-
proach. If the citizens of Cincinnati should
be alarmed, with its 10000 citizen-soldiers,
ought we to be Indifferent when we are
more exposed, and have much fewer de-

We have no doubt Gov. Morton has his
eye upon our exposed situation. We would
urge him to send US arms, or if that be i'm
possible, take other steps to make US secure.
1t will hardly be worth while to place arms
in our hands after our city is ruined.
Revenge is said TO be sweet and we might
retaliate to a four-fold extent, yet this
would not rebuild our city or restore prop
erty that had been destroyed. We would
repeat Governor Morton, we pray you, let
not brave people suffer any terrible ca
lamity from lack of materials with which
to defend themselves.

It is reported that the foreign diplomatic
corps at Washington are showing their
sympathies by excepting to the blockade of
the Southern ports because it is not preced-
ed by sixty days notice. Undoubtedly
when one nation bockades the ports of
another nation, sufficient notice is due to
neutrals but this does not require any
specified time, nor do we suppose that our
Government is under any stipulations with
other American nations as to specific no.
tice of blockade of its own ports. Gov
errments do not provide in advance for
their own dissolution, nor could ours have
anticipated a necessity for blockading its
own ports.
This is not case of one nation blockad
ing another. But the Government prohibits
intercourse with some of its own ports
We suppose that any nation has right to
do this, with proper consideration for the
ships of other nations that may be in po-
sition to be involved in the change. Our
Government has the right to abolish all
ports OF entry in the South We suppose
that our Government can blockade the
Southern ports according to the interna-
tional rules; but if the foreign diplomatists
assume to demand that it shall treat its in
surrectionary ports as those of an independ-
ent nation, the insolent assumption should
be resisted promptly. We presume that no
European Government will back its repre-
| sentatives in such POSITION Gin. Gazette.
