The recruiting for the regiment Of infantry called
for by the Confederate Government from the State
of Louisiana, we are glad TO note is getting on
finely. The chief recruiting station, so far, has
been at the New Customhouse.
New stations are being opened at the corner of
Front Levee and Girod streets: at St Mary's Mar
ket ON Jackson street, in the Fourth District; in
Algiera, and at the Stock Landing From present
appearances, the regiment will soon be full.
Cant. A. H. Gladden. Of the Crescent Rifles,
Daniel W. Adams, Esq, Capt, c. NJ Bradford, late
Of the Louisiana Infantry at Fort Jackson, have
beaA commissioned, respectively, as Colonel, Lieu
tenasit Colonel, and Major, Of this regiment now
raising for the service of the Confederate States.
All are gentlemen of military knowledge and ex-
perience, and of the true Southern grit besides.
Should they and their regiment be called upon to
do little hard work in behalf of the South we
may certainly expect to hear of some such work
as Col. GLADDEN. saw, when in the famed Palmetto
Regiment Of South Carolina, during the Mexican
war.
Due notice of the opening Of the different re-
crQiting stations will be published within the pres
snt week. A regiment Of one thousand men is
wanted for immediate active service. And the
regiment will be full very soon

To place this institution in q condition to be self
sustaining, the Board of Directors have made i'm
prpvements and additions which have incurred
debt Of about $4,000, the whole cost Of grounds
and building being about $50 ,000. This debt must
be paid. This needed charity must be sustained.
The promptings of religion and humanity con-
ceived it, and the munifGence Of private bounty
has erected it. Gratitude to seamen and Sailors
who have built up and sustained tile commerce of
the city and State, will not permit this noble
charity to go down. We therefore appeal to our
fellow citizens Of the South 10 come forward with
their accustomed liberality and relieve the Sea
mems Home.
The sailor comes into our port stranger, with
out friends or home, his unsuspeeting and conta
ing nature makes him al easy prey 10 the machn
atoms of the runl-shop, the Iascigious smiles of
fallen woman, the gamblers table, and the thou
sand snares set for his ruin in all cities. He there
fore needs some one to take him by the hand and
give him kindly warning and protection. At our
Home he has all this; he has good fare, q library
of useful books and newspapers, in the English,
French and German languages, both Catholic and
Protestant, and selects his own place of worship.
New Orleans will not be behind any other city
in providing home and protection to q class of
men indispensable to our commerce, our navy aud
the navigation of the seas. Something must be
done for the Home this week.
The friends of this noble charity will please send
their notes. drafts or money to the agent at the
st. Charles Hotel for which he will give due and
prompt acknowledgment by receipt and by entry
on the register of the Seanen's Home. The regis,
ter will be kept in the gentemen's parlor of the
ST. Charles Hotel, where we will be happy to re-
!
preserved in the library Of the Home as memorial
of its benefactors.

The challenger and his friends were at the said

Tom Barlow, charged with having murdered Off
Ger James Mcintosh and nearly murdered Officer
John Hook on the night of the 23d of December,
1859, and who was last week arrested in Texas and
brought back to this city, was arraigned yesterday
before Recorder Emerson, who fixed the examina
ton for next Saturday, and remanded him to
prison. Gen. Miles appeared as his counsel and
he will probably have other able legal defenders.
That our readers may understand something Of the
case, we repnblish our report of the affair,
taken from The Crescent Of December 2Gth, 1859; a
report which was verified upon examination before
the Coroner:
On Thursday morning, over the river, iust above
the Inc of Orleans parish, two fst-iighters, named
Wall and Connolly, had meeting. They were en-
gagged aboat two honrs and half, in which time
Ii y fought one hundred and eleven rounds, and
pounded each other almostt to jelly--Connelly COM
ing off the victor.
The stakes of the fight had been deposited in the
hands of one Martin ButZ, and there was some
difficulty about :he giving UP OF these stakes, ow
lug to alleged foul play by the victor during the
fight. The club-room of the chivalry in this case
was the doggery kept by this same Martin Butz at
the sweet-scented corner of St. James and ST.
Thomas streets. On Friday night the disputants
met at this place, to come to some understanding
if possible. The result was an aggravaton of the
misunderstanding, nobody agreeing on anything,
except the great question Of whisky drinking, aud
got so drunk and boisterous to require the in
tervention of the police.
Officer James Mcintosh went among them at
about O'Clock, and notified them that if they
did not keep quiet he would have to arrest them.
Upon this, one man, named Thos. Barlow abused
the officer and deted him. The latter went out
and raped for assistance, and John Hook and an
other officer came up. Mcintosh then put his
| hand upon Barlow to arrest him; but he had no
sooner done so than Barlow drew & knife and
| stabbed him in the side. Hook at once seized Bar
low, and, III the struggle which ensued, Hook re-
| ceived dangerous stab in the back of the neck
| and Mcintosh received another stab in his head,
penetrating the skull and brain. Barlow after that
effected his escape. Mcintosh was carried to the
corner Of St. Thomas and Market Streets where he
| died in & few minutes. Hook was taken to the
Pacapier police station, where his wound was cx-
| amined by physician, and pronounced SO serious
| as to render his removal dangerous.

FoRr SUMTER Evacuation or Cttpit,Hdtion.
The Charleston Courier of Friday last says:
We have endured long enough The dilatory and
