FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 4, 1861.

upon our fellow. citizens that the people Of Ken
lucky, who desire to free their State from the
thraldom of Lincoln and his creatures, in great
need Of arms Of every description. Gen. Buckner
publishes an appeal to the citizens Of this and
neghborlng States for assistance in this matter,
and we hope the appeal will not be made in vain.
There are hundreds and thousands of valuable
arms in the hands of private parties, which are
lying idle and useless Let them be given to our
brothers of Kentucky who are fighting the battles
of the South. We know this will be done by the
people of the country and it should be done in the
city.
DoISGs OF THE BLocKADING SqUADRoS.-Yester-
day dispatch was received in the city from be-
low, stating that the y. S. steamer Vneennes,. a
day or two since, went to Pass a rOutre, and,
taking possession of several Of the pilot boats
lying there, armed them and put men on board,
commissioning them as gunboats, and distributed
them about the head of the passes.
THE HEss1AN PRISONERS Dispatches were re-
ceived last night, advising the authorities here
that the detachment of Hessian prisoners who are
on their way to this city will be here by this even
ngs train. The corps which has to do duty in
escorting them to prison should remember this
and be on hand.
& ANOTHER New CoMrANY.-A company called
the Beauregard Tigers was organized last night in
the Fourth District by the election of the following
officers j. G. Costley, Captain T. N. Robert,
First Lieutenant: A. TruxlIo, Second Lieutenant;
and 2. G. Monahan, Junior Second Lieutenant.
The company already numbers IS men, and is in
creasing rapidly. They are fine set Of fellows,
and we wish them all success. ~
GERMAN BENEVOLENT soCIErY.-At meeting of
this society, held last night, resolution was
adopted appropriating $1,000 for the relief or the
free market. This is another evidence of the pa
triotism of our German fellow. citizens, and proves
that they are as ready with their purses as they
have been with their services in aiding the South
ern Confederacy.
GRAND HIGH MAss,-Next Monday, at the Church
of Immaculate Conception, on Baronne street,
will be celebrated a solemn high mass, upon
which occasion there will be a collection taken up
for the benefit of the benevolent association of the
" Danes de la Providence" The sermon will be
preached by Rev. Father Booker, and the music
will be under the direction of Mr. Colgnon.
Haydn's Imperial Mass" will be performed by a
large number of lady and gentlemen amateurs. It
is to be hoped that these interesting and solemn
ceremonies will attract large audience of the de-
Vout and charitable, and that sufficient fund may
be realized to enable the charitable g Dames' to
extend their sphere of usefulness.
SHOOTING ArFAR.-Qute serious shooting af
fair occurred yesterday evening, about O'Clock
on New Levee street, between Notre Dame ant
Girod streets, in which two men were shot. i
appears that two men named Tom Dyer and Pat
Hughes got into quarrel and at last came to
II lI,tyn n,-o,
Hughes, who returned the fire by dischargng hi
pistol once. Dyer received ball full in the fore
head, but it glanced off, and only inflicted pain
tul but not dangerous wound. Hughes was not 81
| fortunate, for he was wounded in the right arm
and left knee His wound in the knee is very Sc
rlous one, and will likely make him cripple 70
life. Both parties were arrested by officer Ben
Leggett, and were brought to the First Dstrc
lookup, where their wounds were attended to By
q surgeon.
A MAN CUr.--Last night, about o'clock
man named John Murray came to the First Dis
trict Police Station and delivered himself up
stating that he had just stabbed an individual
named Carroll, who had assaulted and beaten him
| in a cofee-house at the corner of Rampant an,
| Perdido streets. The wound inflicted he repre-
| sented as being dangerous one, on the right sid
| of the abdomen.
| CoRoNERs INQuEsT.-The Coroner vesterda,
| held an inquest upon the body of an unknown
white man, found dead in the First District Polic
Station. The deceased was supposed to be abou
35 years Of age, was feet inches in height, hac
black hair and a small black moustache, and ha
| on black coat, brown cloth pants and whit
shirt. Verdct-diel Of remitting fever.
| ATTEMpTED BuRGLARY.-An attampt was mad
| on Tuesday night to enter and rob the variet,
store on the corner of Royal hnd Barracks street
but the thieves becoming alarmed by some noise
left in hot haste and took nothing along with them
An attempt of the same character was also mad
at the shoe store, corner Of Hospital and Gallatl
streets, but unsuccessfully.
HARD UP FOR SOMETHING TO STEAL.-The mai
who would steal the eoppers from dead negro
eyes is often spoken of as the example of all tha
| is low, mean, singular in taste. But we think tha
the fellow who hooked the bell from the Cana
street ferry landing much the greater, the meane
rascal. With such thief at large the bronz
statues of Jackson and Clay are not safe. H
would steal the handkerchief out of the pocket
Old Harry, and the sword Of Old Hickory. L.
the authorities be on their guard.
DEAF, DUNE AND DYISG-A poor dummy, name
John H. Young, was found by Lieut.. Costley,
| the coroner of Water and Jackson streets, Fourt
District, in what appered to be dying condition
He was sent to the Charity Hospital.
