SUDDEN DEATH.-Miss Elizabeth South
gate, eldest daughter of Horatio Southgate,
Esq, died quite suddenly at the residence of
her father in Scarboro', Wednesday night.
She retired to bed seemingly in her usual good
health. A short time after she had retired
her younger sister was alarmed by hearing
her gasping, and went to her bedside Before
any assistance could be rendered she was
corpse. Her death is supposed to have been
occasioned by apoplexy, and it is supposed she
was attacked with it before she threw herself
on her bed. The deceased was most amiable
lady, and her sudden death will be severely
felt, not only by her parents, but also by the
large circle of friends and acquaintance her
gentle manners and kind department had
gathered around her. The funeral will proba-
bly, take place OH Saturday.

The Battle of Prairie Grove-The Late VIC
tory Greater than First Reported.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. Dec. Is.
The following additional particulars of the
battle of Prairie Grove have been received:
The official report puts the loss in killed and
wounded in Herrons command at S43; in
Blunt's 1872; total 995. Later accounts in
crease the rebel loss to 2,7O0, and nearly 600
by desertion. Thirty-fiye commissioned Off
GERS in Gen. Herron's command were killed or
wounded.
st. Louis, Dec. 1T.-Gen. Heron telegraphs
TO Gen. Curtis that the victory nj Prairie Grove
was much more complete, AMI the enemy's
loss far greater. than first reported. Over if
teen hundred rebels were killed and buried by
us. Their wounded were found scattered
through the woods for miles in the rear of
their position, which had been carried during
the action, and left when they retreated.-
Many consequently died for want of attention.
Our cavalry pursued the retreating rebels
closely, driving them beyond Van Buren,.
The position and condition of our forces are
excellent. The campaign has been most bril-
liant, rejecting great credit OH the officers and
men of the army of the frontier.

in New England Batteries.


New YORK. Dec. IS.
The Heralds dispatch from Washington
mentions that Hon. John Covode went to

has been taken prisoner
The Herald's Washington dispatch states
that there was quite an excitement at Will
lards this evening, oecasioned by the arrest of
Col Kerrigan, member of Congress from New
York. He was openly denouncing President
Lincoln as a traitor: his remarks drew about
him a crowd, many of whom shouted kill him,
shoot him, &c. He was finally walked off by
the police TO save him from the menaced vio-
lence of the Infatuated bystanders.
The army correspondent of the Herald says
Gen. Gibbons old battery commanded by
Lieut.. Stewart, had ten horses killed-eight of
them by single shell, fragment of which
clipped the ears off another horse as smoothly
as il done by knife. Capt. Gerrish of the LIST
n. II. battery was wounded, and had Is horses
killed. Halls I'd Maine battery had a caission
blown up, one piece disabled, and a number of
his men killed and wounded. Both Stewards
and Gerrish's batteries suffered in the loss of
men, but none SO heavily as the Maine I'd.

Destruction of steamer Cairo by a Tornado.
CAIRO, ILL.,, Dec. is.
The following is special dispatch to the n.
Y. Herald On Friday last the gunboats
Cairo. Marmora and Signal, while ascending
the Yazoo river, reached point mile below
Haynes Bluff, when torpedo exploded under
the Cairo, SCATTERING her bow, and she sunk in
fifteen minutes in forty feet of water, and can
not be raised. The Cairo was one of the first
seven iron-clad gunboats built for service for
Western rivers, and participated in the cap
lures of Forts Henry and Donelson.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. Is.
A special Cairo dispatch says the gunboat
Cairo went twenty-one miles below the mouth
of the Yazoo river on Friday last, and was
blown up by a torpedo and sunk in six fathoms
of water. No one was hurt, but the boat and
entire armament and outfit was lost. 1t is
thought that the torpedo was set off by gal
vanic battery on the bluff opposite.

On primeal rocks she wrote her nahes
Her towers were reared on holy graves
The golden seed that bore her came
Swift. winged with prayer o er ocean waves
The Forest bowed his so lemn crest,
And open flung his sylvan doors
Meek rivers led the appointed Guest
To clasp the wide-embraeing shores
Till, fold by fold, the broidcred land,
To swell her virgin vestments grew,
While Sages, strong in he art and hand,
Her virtues fiery girdie drew.
Exile OF the wrath of kings,
Pilgrim Ark of Liberty.
Tho refuge of divinest things,
Their record must abide in thee
First in the glories of thy font
Let the crown-jewel, Truth. be found
Thy right hand fling, with generous wont.
Loves happy chain to farthest bound
Let Justice, with the faultlcss scales,
Hold fast the worship of thy sons;
Thy commerce spread her shining sails
Where no dark tide Of rapine rms.
So link thy ways to those of God.
So followed firm the heavenly laws,
That stars may greet thee, warrior -browed,
And storm-spcd Angels hail thy cause ?
o Land, the measure of our prayers,
Hope of the world in grief and wrong,
BE thine the tribute of the years.

SINGULAR DOUBLE SuIcIDE.-Suicide is one
of the ''specialtes" of the French people /;
but an Englishman and his wiie-he Sixty-tw
years old and she twenty -eight-have proved
themselves not behind hand in this pecularity.
Their names were Kenrck the husband had
squandered fortune OF f100,0 900, and, with
his wife, found himself in Naples without
funds. SO they decided to drown them selves,
and climed over the low wall of the public
gardens of the Villa Reale, where semi-cir-
cular space over looking the the is furnish
ed with stone seats, and descended on the
beach, where Mrs. Kenrick tied her dress
round her ancles and filed it from the waist
with sand, Mr.. Kenrick effecting the same
purpose by filling the bosom of his shirt, his
waistcoat and coat sleeves with sand and
stones, his wife supplying the necessary
strings and tape from her own dress. They
then tied themselves together ronnd the waist
with their pocket handkerchiefs, and deliber-
ately lay down to die in the sea, which at that
point is not more than two three feet deep.
They had the resolution to endure suffocation,
and their corpses were seen next morning at
daybreak.

HIGHWAY RoBBERY.-Senator Wilson stated
to the Senate last week the astonishing fact
that one Cyrus Seymore was appointed Brigade
Sutler in Sickle's Brigade and the other sut-
lers were obliged to pay him S22, 900 per year
and another man was appointed sutler to seven
regiments, and he was making $4,000 per
year by undertaking them. We have called
this highway robbery, but it is infinitely worse.
We hope the party concerned in it will meet
with that punishment which crime so heiuous
deserves. 1t is high time that the suffers should
be driven from the army. They are worse
than pestilence, of which they are the cause.

PETRIFIED INDIAN EYEs-The Panama Star
says: We have recently received, through
the Kindness of a friend at africa, Peru,
quantity of petriied Indian eyes, taken frem
the Indian burying grounds in that neighbor-
hood, which are probably as great curiosity
in their way as has ever come to light. The
ball of the eye is exceedingly perfect display
ing tie pupil and other parts very distinctly.
1t is apparently of hard horny substance,
and peels off in thin transparent flakes. The
face of the eye presents reddish hue with
yellow circles, and when reflected in the
light it becomes brilliantly illuminated. The
back part is of a bright, glossy, yellow tinge,
looking much like damaged pearl, but when
the outer fakes are taken off, the entire eve
becomes the color of bright amber, which it is
easily mistaken for. These eyes are found at
other times on the ground of the cave or
grave, having fallen out after becoming dried
up. On the reference to books written on
Peru, we find that Trezier, who visited the
coast in 17l2, describes the "ueacas,'' or
ancient tombs at Hiio and AFRICA, where. the
bodies were found entire with clothes on, and
frequently surrounded by gold and silver or
naments. The graves are described as being
dug in the sand, about six feet in depth and
inclosed with wall of dry stones, covered
with cane rods, over which layer Of earth
and sand is spread.

Mr.. SUMMERS SPEECH THE TRENT Az
FAIR.-The speech of Mr.. Sumner in the Sem
ate on the Trent affair, was mastery and con-
elusive exposition of the triumph of American
principles as applied to international law. In
all his arguments and illustrations he left our
respected mother England scout in the cold"
He demonstrated that by all other leading
European Powers the American doctrine had
been recognized and admitted for many years
and that England alone had opposed it, The
Inconsistency of the present position of Eng
land, with her policy in all the past, was ad-
mirably illustrated and the conclusion that
Great Britain is now stopped from any future
assertion of her doctrine in reference to vsi-
tation and search, was brilliant and effective.
The speech was mpressively delivered. The
galleries of the Senate were densely crowded.

SHIPwREcK ON SHoRE.-The anomaly of a
shipwreck on shore occurred at Lombard
street wharf, Philadelphia, to the ship 'sEs-
ther,'' on Wednesday morning Sth. This ship
had finished taking in her cargo on the eve-
ming previous. Next morning = feet of water
was discovered in the hold of the vessel.
Much of the cargo was damaged. Two
steam fire engines were promptly on the spot,
and, with the rapid unloading of the cargo
prevented the total sinking of the ship. The
Esther was distinction Laguayra and had on
board 1000 barrels of -four, 5000 bushels of
grain, 900 boxes of herring, 800 kegs of
lard, ], 900 boxes of soap, 900 kegs of butter,
IO5 hogsheads of coal and 500 bundles of box
es. The whole Cargo was taken out, the grain,
which was in the lower hold, was greatly dam
aged.
