they had been hid had been burnt by
our troops. Around the yard were the
dead bodies of the men who had been
Killed by our cannon, mangled in the
most frightful manner by the shells.
The uniforms on the bodies were very
different, and many of them were dress
ed like the Virginia soidiery. A little
farther on we came to the point which
they had carried some of their woun-
ded, who had since died. The gay
looking uniforms of the New York Zou-
ayes contrasted greatly with the paled,
fixed faces of their dead owners. Going
to the swamp through which they at
tempted to pass to assault our lines,
presented another bloody scene. Bodies
dotted the black morass from one end
to the other. Isaw one boyish, delicate
looking fellow lying in the mud, with a
bullet hole through his breast. His
hand was pressed on the wound from
which his life FLOODED mad poured, and
the other was clenched in the grass.
Lying on the ground was a Testament
which had fallen from ais pocket, GOV.
cred with blood. On opening the cover
| found the printed inscription, Pre-
scented to the Defenders Of their Coun-
try, by the New York Bible Society"
Among the haversacks picked up
along the road, were MANI letters from
the Northern States, asking if they liked
the Southern plantations and if the
Southern barbarians had leen whipped
out yet.
The force of the enemy brought
against us was about 400, according
to the statement of the six prisoners
we took. Ours was 100. Their loss
in killed and wounded must be nearly
200. Our loss is one killed and three
wounded.
The Louisiana regiment arrived about
one hour after the fight was .ver. They
are a fine-looking set of fellows.
As there was force enough at Old
Point to send up to Bethel ant surround
us, we took up the line of march and
come up to Yorktown, wber, we now
are. "

Point are now marching up o attack
us, but can not say whether III is so or
not.

MILITARY ITEMS.

ORLEANS CADErs.-Capt. DrenX and his very
large and handsome company, the Cadets, went
over to Gretna on Saturday evening, camped out
all night and all day yesterday, and returned last
evening, healthier and brighter looking Qf pos
sible) than when they went In these stirring
times, little encampment exercise is not only
pleasant by way of change, but somewhat profit
able in view of future contingencies. As the Ca
diets went, so they came. We regretted that we
could not 90 over and see how they did camp life.
When will all the companies hold an cncampment?
GAmBALDl RlFLEs.-Capt. Santini and his gal
liant lelow,ci of Italian birth were out yes
terday, making gay and dashing appearance in
their Garibald costume, whilst rivaljng the older
companies in their handling of the guns and in their
correct and martial tread. Twas great day with
this company. They had their flag consecrated at
St. Louis Cathedral, i'll presence Of an immense
multitude. The conservation was followed by an
artillery salute of fifty guns fired on the levee op
posite. The Garbaldi Rifles " are growing il
number, and, should the "tug of war" come, will
be found as full of patriotic sef-defence as any.

A MOBILE ITEM,

We arc no Mobile reporter but, as friend tc
many in the town of Mobile and the Tage of New
Orleans, we must mention the result of the water.
throwing match between Washington No. s and
Torrent No. 6, in the town aforementioned, for
$500 side. The trial, as We learn by private tee
graphic dispatch, came of on Saturday afternoon.
No. 5 throwed water 239 feet No. throwed 242
feet--a victory of 8 feet, and the money. The
thing cannot be denied, that the engine of Wash
ington No. s, of Mobile, is tho greatest hand
engine that ever throwed water in the South. The
No. boys and their machine are ready for all
other challenges from respectable competitors-so
we learn.

ARRIVAL THE sTEAMsHlF ENHNEssEE
From the Purser of the steamship Tennessee
from Vera Cruz 18th inst, we learn that NJ. G. "a
mora, Governor of the State of Vera Cruz, died on
the 2lst March, at A. NJ. Capt. Oldham, of f. B.
NJ steam frigate Valorous, when on his way to
Vera Cruz from Mexico, was attacked by band
of robbers. Capt 0. and lady passenger were
severely wounded. Capt. O. remained at Cardovcr
for medical aid.
The stage from Mexico to Vera Cruz, via Jalapa,
containing American and other passengers, was
attacked by q band of 20 robbers. The two Ameri-
cans (L. Dye, of the u s. A., being one of them)
defended themselves, and fought for nearly two
hours, killing and wounding of the robbers the
balance fled. The Americans were both wounded,
and are now in Vera Cruz.
The French Minister recognized the Juarcz Gov
ernmcnt on the 10th inst.
A condncta left Mexico for Vera Cruz on the
18th inst with 50, ,7O0,O ,O0o in specie.
We have by this arrival files of Vera Cruz papers
to the 20th but find in them nothing of Importance.
Meja the last of the reactionary generals, to make
head against the Liberals, was on the 7th inst. in
the mountains at the head of force, the strength
of which is not mentioned, Gems. Doblado and
Arteaga were at that time in the same neighbor-
hood, and battle was expected to take place soon
Apart from this, and the robberes that are con
stantly taking place, most of them on the route be-
tween Vera Cruz and the capital, the country is
generally quiet, and the people are returning tc
the pursuits of peaceful life.
The Journals of the capital and of Vera Cruz re-
cord the robbery of five diligences, four of then
within the space of two days. Troops had beer
sent out from Toluca in pursuit of the bandits
who, it is said, commit the most shocking crimes
in the name of religion.

THIRD DISTRICT GIRLS, HIGH SCHOOL.

The annual examination of the Girls High
School of the Third District came off on Wcdnes-
day last To our regret, we were unable to be
present; and on this account we take pleasure in
publishing the following communication, written
by friend who was present:
Mr.. Editor: 1t was my good fortune, on the
20th inst, to assist at the examination ct the Girls
High School of the Third District-public schools

The Principal of that School, Miss H; NJ. Chase,

said school for about year, and no more and her
resignation, which has been rendered to the Board
of Directors, has thrown dependency upon, the
ninds Of the parents, the pupils and the Board.
How, when, and by whom, will she be replaced

the Goth, but without satisfactory result. Another

ment was not an amendment, but a substitute for
his substitute. The Chair decided thatit was not a
substitute. Mr.. Elgee appealed from the decision
of the Chair. The decision of the Chair was sus
tanned.
Mr.. Wamson's amendment to Mr.. Sparrow's
amendment was debated upon and lost.
Mr.. Fuqua then offered as amendment, or
proviso, that the Legislature shall have no power
to exempt from taxation the capital'o of any bank.
Mr.. Semmes opposed this, stating that the CAPT
tai of some of the banks was exempt from taxa
ton, and that the principle should apply to all the
banks. After further debate, by Messrs. Lewis of
Claiborne, Scmmes and Fuqua, the latter gentle
mans amendment was put to vote and adopted.
Mr.. Hodge moved the previous question. Carried.
Mr. Sparrow's amended amendment to Mr.. Elgee's
substitute was then put to VOTE and adopted by G3
yeas to 80 nays.
The vote was now taken upon Mr.. Elgee's sub
sttute as amended and it was adopted by 50 yeas
to 4G nays.
The main question, that is, the final adoption of
the amended substitute as an ordinance, now came
up.
Mr. Bush offered rider, a second section to
the ordinance, that the ordinance be submitted to
the people for ratification in November next.
Mr. Hodge opposed this, as being ont of order.
Mr.. Bush contended the opposite. The Chair
quoted the rule of the U. S. House of Representa-
tives, that no rider can be offered on the third
reading of bill and as this bill was before the
house the third time, he decided Mr.. Bush's rider
to be not in order. Mr.. Bush appealed from this
decision The decision of the Chair was sus'
tained Mr.. Bush then moved an adjournment
but the motion was lost by large majority.
The final vote was taken on the adoption of the
substitute as an ordinance Yeas 40, nays 80 lost
by one vote. So the whole banking subject is
| quashed.
| The Convention adjourned to Monday (this day.

ARRIVAL OF BARL OW.


Tom Barlow, who some fifteen months ago killed
Policeman Mcintosh and nearly killed Policeman
Hook, in grocery up town, is now here, and in
prison, awaiting the trial which he has thus far
cvaded. We have already published the fact of
his arrest in Galveston, Texas. Mayor Monroe
sent the first information to the Mayor of Calves
ton that Barlow was there, and requested his ar
rest The arrest, upon this, was made and, spe-
cial oflicers Isard and Farrell being sent over,
returned with the prisoner, by steamship, night
before last, or early yesterday morning.
Barlow has many friends in this city, as well as
in Galveston and it seems that Sherry, the engi-
necr of the steamship, stands in mortal fear of
these friends of the prisoner. He went yesterday
morning to Mayor Monroe and claimed his protec-
ton, saying that he was accused of having given
the information of Barlow's residence in Calves
ton, and that certain things had induced him to
believe his life to be in danger He was evidently
scared without reasonable cause, and the Mayor
told him So Some of Barlow's friends, whom we
saw yesterday, were quite indignant upon hearing
this, declaring that Barlow was debating to HIM
self the propriety of returning and surrendering,
when arrested in Galveston. That he surrendered
quietly in Galveston and willingly, is attest
ed by the officers who brought him.
Three Of the principal witnesses are yet on hand
with their testimony, and the most important one,
the barkeeper in the grocery where the tragedy
occurred, has been arrested to make sure Of his
appearance as a witness.
As to the fright of Sherry the engineer, VIC can
| ease him and Others The Mayor received his first
| intination of Bnrow's whereabouts some five OF
six weeks ago, in an anonymous letter from Boston
The Mayor answered the letter, got all necessary
information, and found bis correspondent to be the
mate of a ship, who knew Barlow well, and will
whom the Mayor was we'll acquainted in the course
of his business the lcvce-that Is, whenever the
said mate and his ship were in this port Barlow
| when arrested in Galveston, was working as
| q cnfler y in n foundry.

A FRENCuwoIAN NOT DECEIVED BY THE SrLEN-
DOR OF A UNIFoRM.-COunt d'Orsenne one day aC
compauied the Emperor on hunting excursion
The Emperor had been complaining of thirst, and
some one seeing woman at little distance called
to her. The woman did not know Napoleon or
any of the escort. She gave the Emperor glass
of water mixed with little brandy, and then
curtsied for payment There, my good woman,"
said Napoleon, pointing to Count d Orsenne, there
is the Emperor; ask him for money; he pays for
us all.n The woman blushed, and looked embar-
rassed; then turning to the Count, she scanned
his splendid uniform with the eye of a connoiseur
and said, " He? pooh, nonsense! Do you think |
believe that? The Emperor is not such coXcomb.
You sir, look more like him YOURSELF" The En-
peror was much amused at the remark, and gave
the woman double louis.

THE WEATHE

Appears to be " out of Sorts" or all sorts. The
rain of Friday night was wound up on Saturday
by q very Summerlike and rather terrific thunder
storm, with special deluge of water in the streets.
The lightning was perfectly ferecious, succeeded
in shattering the chimney of bakery in one place,
and The nerves of the tmid in many other places.
The sun laughed out in the afternoon-the moon
laughed all highland the sun again laughed all
day yesterday, very perceptible degree of
warmth accompanying the laughter. As we scrib-
Bile, Dame Luna is laughing again. So much celes,
tial laughter portends some sort of hot or rough
joke ahead. Never mind. We WON'T be afraid, SC
long as the girls look pretty and the volets smell
sweet!

the accordeon, to see if he could play apon it.
HinCh replied that he didn't think he (the sitanger)
could play upon it, but handed the accordeon to
him. Che young man looked at the accordep epGs and
handed IT back, saying they did not want to- play
apon it, 5nt wanted to fight We replied to Aim
that didn't want to fight, nor did we ccEre
there to fight, but were Just out taking walk to
enjoy ourselves. One Of the yoHng men, light
complicated Jonng man with light hair, then started
at AckenhaSsscn and struck at him twice; the lat
ter merely fenced off the blows, and 1id not strike
back. All threG Of us theastarted to walk off, when
this same yorsR2 man started after us again,
and made ano&ser lick at Ackenhagsen- The
other young man. who was middle sized man
with blac!nhair ard moustaChe, caught fsctd CT his
friend and tried to- hold hirn; but the ether got
away from him and struck at Ackenhause5, again,
when his friend trieC again to hold him. The light
complected young man then struck at me- and ]
struck his partner. The young man with black
haT put his hand to h1 face, when the other Joung
man said, Excuse me, Charley, didn't mean to
strike you" They then stood moment, vheE'
the cne who had been cylled Charley picked up his
hat, and the other again started at AckenhaEsen,
and struck him twice. Ackenhausen then turned
upon him, and pushed him up against the fence.
When the one called Charley saw thnt, he ran mp
and struck Ackenhausen twice with his fist, and
then put his hand behind him, drew out knife,
and stabbed a Ackenharsen, as I thought, near tie
shoulder. Ackenhauseu tteD called for the watch,
as also did Hinch; the two young men then ran OF
ran after ttiem but they got off, and have not
seen them since.
George H;',ch, sworn--Corroborate the testi-
mony of Behren in all the main particulars.
Upon this testimony, the Coroner's jury rendered
@ verdict of murder against some persons un-
known. As the two witnesses say they can recog-
nize the stabber and his friend if they should
again see them, there is faint hope that they may
be caught some Of these days.
