4 Shocking and Mysterious Affair.

4 Shocking aud Mysterious Affair.
Mrs Cooley, wife Of B. B. Cooley, Esq, re-
siding near Mddletown, Frederick county,
Virginia, left her house on Tuesday, the 28th
nit, for the purpose (aecording to tho story
Of her cslored houeemaid,} Of visiting some
Of her neighbors but:not returning at dark,
inquiry wus instituted, and it was ascertained
that she had not visited any Of them. Speak
ing of the search, a correspondent Of the Al
exandria Gazstte says:
On approaching the meat house, ggroans were
heard emanattng therefrom, and as the key
could not be found, attempts to break down
the door were begnn; but while these we're In
progreas, the key WAS found in the dwelling
house, the door opened, and the lady, In a
the floor, with her hands covering her face,
and perfectly unconscious. Some Of her cloth
ing was hanging, from the meat hooks in the
Tatters, and some wills streWed about the floor,
A sailing tray Was almost filled with blood,
apparently freshly spilled. Marks resembling
upon her arms, aud her hands, neck and sides
were horribly muti1ated by what appeared to
be o blunt-pointed, puncruring instrument
Her shoes and stockings were found under her
bed, in her chamber, saturated with blood.
Medical aid was promptly secured, and every
thing done for the unfortunate lady that sci.
ence and sliu could suggest, but all was Of no
avail She fingered In the same helpless con
dition In which she was found until Saturday
: last, when death came 20 her relief. Her hus-
band, who had started from his home on the
freight train Of the Manassas Gap Railroad,
with cattle for the city, on the same day his
wife met with this terrible calamity, was tele-
graphed to instantly, but returned just in time
to see his estimable Lady expire. No clue has
yet been obtained for the solution of this most
extraordinary occurrence. The colored wo-
man is under arrest.

It Is now several years since the gentleman
whose name heads this article gnTe up all
connection with the pugtlistic world, and en-
deavored to lead different life from that
which he had been leading for years previous.
His reformation was doubted BY some at the
time, but we believed it TO be sincere, rs we
stated at the time. Friends, who took an in
terest in MI. Gardner's reform, did all they
could to assist md encourage him, aud through
and coffee-room, in the New Bowery, which
establishment, under Mr.. Gardner's manage
ment, has been the means Of reforming some
Of the worst characters we have ever had IN
this city of vice aud crime. Mr.. Gardner has
worked hard and zea1ous1y for the cause in
which he embarked, and he has had the salts
faction Of knowing that his efforts In the
cause OF morality hnve been rs successful as
the most ardent could desire. But the work
has been too seyere-his mental energies haye
undergone severe trial, and Of late he has
given symptoms Of 9 mind diseased For
several weeks past he has been unable to at
tend to his usual duties, and, during part OF
the time, has been confined to his bed, under
medical attendance Slight evidences Of in
sanity have made themselves manifest, and
last week it was determined to remoTe him
from the city. On Saturday Inst, therefore, he
yauia, where, it is to be hoped, O relaxation
from the cares Of business, aud residence in
more Aea1thy atmosphere, may recuperate
his physical and mental energies, and restore
him to that sphere Of usefulness to which he
has Of late years devoted himself In the
meantime, the Fourth Ward Institution will
continue as heretofore, but under the superin-
tendence of another gent1eman--hem York
Clipper.

s The New Orleans Deta puts forth the fol
towing touching appeal in behalf Of JEFF.
Dagis's SIS coo COO 1oan. We had supposed,
from former accounts, That the loan WIS all
taken two weeks ago:
The loan Of fifteen millions, proposed by
sirable for investment now offered In the
money market Of the world. We refer, OF
course, to the monetary aspect Of the loan.
It's appeal to the patriotism Of the people need
not be dEelt upon. Every citizen who desires
to see the independence Of the South main
tatned, and its Government pnt into efficient
operation, will promptly recognize that appeal,
and to the extent Of his ability subscribe to d
loan which is so greatly needed for tho SUCCESS
Of an object for which 70 many thousands are
ready to shed their blood and sacrifice their
fortunes. But if all citizens Of the Confede-
rate States must feel this as s solemn duty Of
patriotism and honor, 1t IS especially proper
and desirable that the capitalists Of New Or
leans, who were peser more abundantly able
to :nvcst than they are nov, should lead off in
taking q large share Of this 1oap- By control
ling this stock New Orleans will place herself
in the same relation to the Confederate States
that New York has long borne to the States Of
stock will represent the condition Of the mon
cy market, and the stock itself be available
for commercial or other pufpaseg in great
many ways. We trust, therefore, that orr
capitalists, great and small, will make liberal
Investments in this stock. No person should
be restrained by the consideration Of the small
means he may be- able to inyest, hut even If it
be but $50 or 800, should, to the extent Of
his ability subscribe to the patriotic loan:

The London Correspondent Of the N. 7,
Evening Post, under date Of Feb. 23d, relates the
following: %
Outside Of Parliament the grind event Of the
week has been me discovery of the fraud in
the London aud Country Bank, a very respec-
table Joint stock company. The eulprit was
oue. OF their ledger keepers, a man named Dur
uen: This man has been in the service ol the
bank for twelve ye4rs, and, having for eleven
oftAose years lad control Of the ledger. has
made use Of his position to defraud the com

that dnrlng those eleven years he never took
one days holiday, but kept the books jealous
" under lis care from morning till evening,
Or change Of scene-to all a1lurements Of
Brighton or Ramsgate, Of Paris or Boulcgne.
Strange to soy, this. appears to have excited no
suspicion; and bya species Of fatality, the
bank had no audito-a, any more than had the
Union Bank, where Pll1nger committed his
burden pursued his way unsuspectcd-his
way being one long path Of embezzlement;
and no doubt bis employers looked him d d
model clerk, full Of exemplary self denial and
devotion TO bis business. at AtIength, however
he ia n struek TT down with paralysis; he cannot

he must perforce take holiday. The ledrcr
passes into other hands; and the reason at
once becomes manifest why he has observed
that long season Of unrelieyed work. He has
been undermining be bank, and the bank sud

directors possessed a; reserve fund Of $4,000,

Despair Of the Commissioners OF the
- Southern lConfederacy now in WASH

I think 1t may be taken for granted that
both AIessrs. Forsyth and Crawford, the Com
missioncrs Of the Southern Confederacy now
in this city, despair not alone Of the success
OF their commission, but Of the Coniederacy

and cannot but feel and see from NIL the eyi-
dcnce around him TINT he Ia himself in q false
position, md that the ultEas who have hurried
Alabama into her present dilemma Gun never
permanently hold the confidence Of the peo-
pie of that State.-Phua Press
