MrsTAKE.-A slight error occurred in the article
yesterday relating to the battle opposite Columbus,
as recounted to US by young George Austin. The
height of George was put at4 feet 20 inches, when
it should have been feet 10 inches. Atypograph-
ical error only, but making a very considerable
difference. We hope, however, to see George
taller than that yet that is, his body somewhat
commensurate with his greatness of soul.
FIRST REGIMENT LOUISIANA MLTTA.-This body
had its second battalion drill on the levee yester-
day evening, and went through the maneuyers
remarkably well, everything considered. Adjutant
VIM. Floto is the driil.master, and is every way
capable and untiring in his efforts This battalion,
we understand, appears in the general review on
Saturday evening next. 4-p-.
LOST BoY.-A little boy, who says that his name
is John Stubs, was found wandering in the streets
yesterday by the police. He was lost, and could
not tell anything more as to his residence than that
he lived in a Catholic Orphan Asylum, that Mr..
Bennett was his teacher, and that Sister Valerz
stays in the kitchen. He s about IL years of age,
but not very intelligent. Should this meet the eye
Of the Directors Of the Asylum the boy belongs TO,
they can find him by applying to Lieut. Boylan, at
the First District poiice-office. g.
BADLY CuT.--John Hession and John Murray,
servants in the ST. Louis Hotel, yesterday, about 3
O'Clock, got into fight in the kitchen, when Hes
sion drew knife and cut Murray on the thigh, in
flictipg dangerous wound. Hession was arrested
and Murray was taken to the Charity Hospital.
DISCHARGED AT THE REQUEST OF THE PROSECUTOR.
Mary Ann Finney, the servant girl whose arrest
upon charge Of forgery we noticed yesterday
morning, was dismissed yesterday by Recorder
Emerson, at the request of MFR. D. W. Eames, the
gentleman who made the affidavit against her, 1t
appears from what we hear that the poor girl was
not so old offender as to have deserved the pun
ishment which the laws provide for such crime
but fit subject for the exercise Of mercy She
has seen better days, and has many virtues, which
go far to excuse her youthful errors.
