n oLidbF Ml6TAE.-Ihe New York Inde-
pendent says:
1.-The last lot of rice sent over to Fort Sum-
ter by the Charlestonians was largely mixed
lor tne purpose Of poisoning the garrison"
Inc Independent man Is not posted. The
l3st lot sent was OF prime quality, from the
Commlssary torres of Fort Moultrie. 1t was
sent ln about twenty Dahlgren shells by Capt
Hamilton. What the garrison objected to
was the method of transportation, not the
sample.
To explain this, it may be well to state
that, when shell is to be used in place of
solid shot, and not intended TO burst, it is
sometimes illied with rice-that grain being
o. ABOUT the weight OF gunpowder the ordina
ry charge of the she'll. Capt&;n Hamilton
wished TO fire some i'll this manner, and thew
were accordingly filled with one OF the sta
pies OF Carolina. Although not mixed with
poison, doubtless the garrison objected to them

AN ELEPHANT RACE IN COCHIN, CHIsA.-A
correspondent, writing from Cochin, China,
after giving some little description of races of
various kinds i'll that place. says
Inc next was an elephant race which
amused me much They were certainly much
swifter than the horses, though they only
walked but what tremendous steps thew
took! They shook the ground for one hun
dred yards round, as with the shock of an
earthquake, every time their enormous feet
came III contact with it and with their trunks
pointing straight out, like the bowsprit of q
ship, their ears and tails distended there was
some thing grand, but still very clumsy, about
their gait. They had handsome cars, with
four men in each, on their backs, and two men
on each side TO lead them. There was great
dispute which should come in first; and the
space being rather narrow for seven of these
enormous animals to run abreast, those who
got in front were determined to keep there, and
they appeared To know what game they were
AT, tor they did not exactly race, but heavily
and clumsily, yet quickly, lodged each other
across the course; and, after most amusing
race, or shuttle, the large white one came in
first, amid peals of laughter and applause.

DOUBLE MURDER.-The Wilmington IN. c.
Journal learns that on last Friday evening the
BODY OF James Sterile Il sherman we believe
was found in or near the Northeast Branch of
the Cape Fear River, about half a mile above
the site OF Hilton Bridge, and on the far side of
tne river from town. His head exhibited
such evidence of injuries, apparently inflicted
by an axe, as to leave no doubt of his having
come 10 his death by violence.
On Saturday, Coroner Jones, with iury of
inquest was engaged in the inYes tigatio of
the case. Some three men, of rather doubtful
character, who were the last persons seen
with the deceased, and who were to have gone
with him or joined him i'll his fishing. were
arrested on suspicion.
"A free negro named Ulem Maner or Manor
VINO started at the same time with Steele bu t
liz separate boat, was also missed at the
same time. and his body has been found but a
short distance from where Steele's was found
An axe, evidently that with which this dou-
Die murder was committed, was found in the
marsh, not far from the place where the
bodies had been discovered
IL seems that both Steele and Glenn Manor
had some little money with them when they
went out. The three men are still under
arrest. The Coronsr's Jury came to the con-
cluslon that the deceased Steele came TO his
death from the effects of wounds inflicted on
ms head, but they could not identify the party
infiicting them. The verdict III Glenn $ case
