| yesterday morning attempted to murder her own
little son, Thomas, aged years, at her residence
| on Craps street, between Spain and Poet, by put
| ting him into we'll and attempting to drown him.
| Ihls charge was fully proven, but as it was also
| shown thatthe woman was an habitual and beastIy
| drunkard, and that she was drunk when she at
tempted to drown her little boy, the Recorder sent
her to the Work house for six months. The woman
| ought never be permitted to see her child again.

| drown him. The young man raised an alarm, and
other neighbors came and seized the woman to
| arrest her The poor little boy having no idea of
his mothers intent wet and dripping as he was,
| clung to her dress and screamed when he saw she
| was about to be taken away The frantic grief of
the child, not at his il-treatment, but at the
fear Of losing his MOTHER was such that the neigh
| boTs kept hands off, but remained around to see
| that the child was not harmed.
Officer Flanahan, being called. went into the
yard to arrest the woman ust at the moment when
| she had her boy between her knees, pounding him
cruelty. She bit the officer in the struggle and as
| he dragged the child away she bit the posterior
in her tn
| eat what she had not succeeded in numbering.
James Dole was dismissed from the charge of
breach Of trust preferred by James McGlone, the
| latter falling to appear.

attempting to procure pieces of each others
heads. The Peace street society furnishes many
members to the peace society.

sQuelchlng Mrs. Susanna Donovan, at the corner Of

TRIP TO AND FROM MISSISSIPPI CIrY.-A page
FROM the logbook Of the Witchcraft got mslaid
before reaching the printers, which caused q
hiatus in our publication Of yesterday:
The coast packet steamer Creole left the Pont
chartrain Railroad lake end, on Saturday morning
crowded with freight and the usual concOmitants
of summer travelling. There were 225 passengers
or more for the sea shore villages among them
In how IL into
visit Ship Island The Creole landed, and de-
livered all her passengers at the several landings
several of our citizens and merchants going over
as customary, intending to return on Monday. All
were however disappointed, as will appear from
remarks elsewhere.
One of our old and respected citizens cotton
lacloF OF CHronOeiet street, and Ohr co-aborer,
| alter witnessing the movements Of the Federal
squadron, on Sunday last in Mississippi Sound be-
gan to think they were really uuIvL bIvuh4ue
| On Monday morning, the opinion prevailed that
the Creole would not return, consequently our
friend, the factor and our cOlaborer both desirOus
OF being on the flags at an early day, were some
what nonplussed how to make their appearance.
They consulted all the authorities (as they do in
the great professiOn,) whether they should hire
mules and ride two days and nights to COyingtOn
and cross from thence, or whether it was best to
run the blockade "a tender of the squadron being
reported Oft Pass Christan,) by chartering q lug
ger and take the chances Of the lake route. They
determined on the latter course, and proceeding
| to the wharf they chartered the open, half-decE
slOop Ntchcraft: and not with seventeen Others
as one Of our contemporaries remarks Our two
| friends Immediately informed the sojourners at
Mississippi City that they would leave at O'clock
and would willingly receive on board eight or ten
| others. The commander of the craft Immediately
| obtained letter OF permit from the commanding
officer of the Confederate Army on the seashore,
granting permission for the Witchcraft TO proceed
| on her mission, and not to be detained at Fort
Pike, or by ressels Of eca of the Confederate SER
| vice-which, we might say, are few and far be-
tween; in fact not one, when there ought to have
| been four or five.
With the letter of pass, the Witchcraft at about
2P NJ. card time, cast off from Col. Barnes wharf.
But instead OF eight passengers, originally agreed
on, there were fifteen besides the ten charterers.
| There was no objection made to this, though a
| quantity of freight had been surrepously placed
on board, croWding the craft most uneomfoftably.
| We now proceed to give extracts from the log
| book Of the lettero fmarque Witchcraft, John
Nelson, ESQ, commander: At 2 o'clock P. NJ,
card time, cast off; wind light from W. S. W..
