TIE LATE L1EurESASTC COLONEL DRnUx.--We are
informed that the body of this lamented officer
will reach the city on Saturday. The military
companies are preparing to do their part in the
funeral honers.
We are glad to perceive that subscription lists
are already open, for the purpose of erecting
monument to the memory of Col. Dreux. These
lists are open for signatures at the following in
surance Offices: the Union the Merchants, the
Louisiana, the New Orleans, and the Citizens.
We are very sure that the feeling in this commu-
nifty will speedily provide for the proposed monu-
ment and monument that will do honor to the
city as well as to the lamented deceased.
1t may not be improper to mention in this CON
necton that friend Clarke, the photographer, of
Canal street, who has more pictures of soldiers
gone to the wars than any other three photograph
lists in the city-and truthful and splendidly finished
pictures at that-has on hand lot of speaking" !"
pictures Of Col Dreux which he will dispose of at
usual prices. Clarke has great numbers of photo
graphs of officers and privates now absent at the
wars, and it is actually treat to go and overhaul
his stuffed portfolios. 1t may be that before the
war is over, many of these pictures will acquire
sad interest and an extra value, like that Of the
late Charley Dreux.

terio Hall by about sixty members of Company X,
volunteer company, which they named DuVerg&
Guards. They elected Mr.. James 7. Anderson, Of
the firm Of Hassam & Anderson, Captain, Mr. /. j.

pany, if popularity of officers gives good ground
for Judgment.
FOUND DEAD.-T The dead body of Catherine
Kelly, an lrishwoman, about so years of age, was
found yesterday morning in the street, near cot
ton press in the Fourth District, in which press a
company of soldiers is quartered. Straightway
Madame Rumor, through her friends of the Lying
Club, spread the story that the woman had during
the night been seized and violated in wholesale
manner by the soldiers, and then stranged to pre-
vent her from telling the story of her wrongs. The
credulity Of the populace which is fully equal to
the malice of Madame Rumor and the Lying Club
aroused such storm about the soldiers that they
considered themselves fortunate in not being bonn
barded in their cottoDpress, or taken out and hung
to the adjacent lamp posts Really, the public ex-
citement was great. But Coroner Beach, and Doc.
tors Berthelot and Castellanos-alI of them we'll
acquainted with Madame Rumor and the Lying
Club-kept perfectly COOL and investigated the
matter under the direction of Madame Truth and
Madame Science whose sworn ministers they are.
There were no external signs of outrage or vo-
lence whatever on the woman's body; the body
being opened, there were no internal signs of suf-
location or other violence but there were unmis
taxable signs of long and violent whisky drinking
and Of that natural death which is the result of un
natural drinking. The verdict was that the woman
died of ntemperance.
| ABoLTIoNIsTs COMMITTED. H. C. Pennerman,
Massachusetts Yankee, and A. Lorenzon, a Ger
man, were yesterday taken before Mayor Monroe,
charged with having used incendiary Abolition
language. 1t was shown that Pennerman had
| openly declared that the South was wrong, and
ought to be whipped and the negroes set free, and
that his employers. John A. Mitchell & Co., of Poy-
dras street, had warned him against using such
| nd at hainv c1-n al In
tribute to the fund for the family of jackson, the
martyr Of Alexandria, said that Jackson was no
better than murderer, and that he would much
rather contribute 1t to the honor of Col. Elsworth
The two rascals were committed to prison, subject
to the orders of Judge Noise, of the G. s. Court.
1NcENDIARIsM.-Office Herard reports that late
on Wednesday night, bed and bedding were dis
covered to be on fire in the house No. III Ex-
change Alley; house belonging to Christian Ro-
selius, and tenanted by Mrs Queant. Yesterday
Fire Warden Youennes had Mrs. Q. arrested on the
charge of having started the fire. The story is
that Mrs. Queants father was lessee of the house
and of other properties belonging to Mr.. Roselus
that some time ago the old man became crazy from
too much drinking and had to be sent to the Insane
Asylum that his daughter thereafter set about
collecting the rents, and, being herself hard
| drlnker, managed so padly that her brother tool
her in hand and went to collecting the rents him
self; that in consequence of this she threatened to
burn the house, and some eight days ago did sci
fire to her fathers vacated bed; and that on
| Wednesday night she fred the bedding again. II
is in evidence against her that she went to neigh
bor to get some matches on Wednesday evening
that she had threatened to burn the house and
/ her brother says she started the fire both times
because he would'ntle let her collect the rent. Had
the fire got under headway either time it would
have resulted most disastrously, they being com
pactly built of the most valuable properties. Mrs
Queant, who is believed to be almost as insane a:
her father, from the effects of liquor is in prison
awaiting examination.
The CASE OF WEAvER.--J. D. Weaver, committed
to the Criminal Court at his eounsels request, te
be tried for rape, was refused further bail by Re
corder Emerson when he committed him. The
counsel, Col. Field, having taken q rule upon the
State officers to show cause why the prisoner
should not be admitted to bail, the arguments vii
be heard before Judge Collens to-day.
