The SOLDIERS RIOT AT EAST NEW YORK.
From an account in the New York Times of
the riot among the soldiers in camp at East
New York, during which hotel was destroyed
by fire, we extract the following relating to
Maine soldier:
while the fire was raging, S. III. Taylor, a
private in Co. i, oath Maine Volunteers, who
was viewing il, exclaimed Here's the son of
BIB, boys, that stole the gunr-aluding
to fracas he had some days previously with
German regarding musket, which he al
legged had been fraudulently obtained (since
recoyered) from one of his comrades. Not
hearing the latter portion of the remark, the
exasperated soldiery supposed he alluded to
Schellein, and made rush for the man indi-
Gated by Taylor, who was now in conflict with
him. This man would have been killed on the
instant had not Taylor sung out, No, he's not
the man-don't hurt himr In the melee,
however, the German who was the individual
charged with the theft of the musket, attempt
ed to draw his pistol. Before he could aim it
at any one, Taylor, (who heard him cock the
weapon,) seized his hand and pressed it as far
downward as possible, when the German, be-
ing now on his knees having slipped on the
ice, fired, the contents, fourteen buckshot, en-
tering Taylor's right leg, below the knee, and
shattering the bone. The cry was then raised,
Who's shot. Taylor, in order to save the lite
OF the German, who would have been imme-
dately killed, were the facts known, replied,
Only citizen shot himself-no damage done,
and hobbled off as well as he could. The Ger
man was subsequently arrested, placed in the
guard-house, and afterwards surrendered to
the authorities for examination. Taylor re-
fuses TO allege a complaint against him, how
ever, as he says the man was acting merely in
selfdefence"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.
The President on Monday sent message to
Gen. Sbley, ordering the execution of 80
of the Minnesota Indians on the 10th inst
These include those concerned in murders and
other brutal outrages. Gov. Sibey has been
directed to await Instructions respecting the

that the President assumed the responsibility
of change of destination of McDowelrs
corps, regarding it necessary to the defence of
Washington, although the force in and around
Washington was double that fixed by officers
The following questions and answers compris-
ed an important portion Of the testimony:
Question.-Please examine copy of the
n. Y. Herald of Oct 81, containing the speech
of j. b. Haskins at Tarrytown, and state if the
following remarks are attributed to you, to
wit: II have been unfortunate in not taking
Richmond, in consequence of the plan not
being carried out, because Mcdowell did not
reinforce me, as he could have done, and as it
was agreed upon he should have done," so far
as relates to Gen. Mcdowell are true, and if
not true, wherein they are not so.
Answer.-The incident related in the speech
is entirely new to me. never received any
despatch informing me that Gen. Halleck was
made commander-in-chief, and an very sure
never made the remark attributed to me in the
connection as stated. / have no doubt said,
for it has ever been my opinion, that the army
of the Potomac would have taken Richmond
had not the corps of Mcdowell been separated
from it. 1t is also my opinion, that had the
command Of Mcdowell Joined the army of the
Potomac in May, by way of Hanover, from
Fredericksburg, that we would have had Rich
mond within week after the juncture. do
not hold Gen. Mcdowell responsible, in my
mind for failure to join me on either occasion.

eminent soldiers and officials retired into the

The foreign Consuls had obtained a promise
of the French Admiral that order should be
preserved in the city. Gen. Forey still con-
tinued at Orizaba, and his predecessor, Loren
cy, had left for France. Gen, Forey is said to
have put in motion part of his forces towards
Puebla, but is delayed in the movement for
want OF transportation. In the mean time the
work on the Notifications of Puebla contin-

there, will no doubt be met with warm re-
ception.

The Disgraceful Affair at Huntsville Advance
OF Gen. Folks Rebel Corps.

NASHVILLE, Dec. 8.
We have no further particulars Of the dis

gather, it appears that the new infantry regi-
ments fought little after relieving the I'd Indi-
ana cavalry, except the Illinois regiment,
which is said to have lost eighty killed. When
the infantry came up the cavalry were being
forced back, at which the infantry were seized
with panic and fed TO camp again, where
they were surrounded and taken. Our loss
was said to be forty killed and wounded.
Gen. Folks rebel corps was advanced up
the Lebanon Pike to Boards Mills, twelve
miles south of Lebanon, while Kirby Smiths
