pail on the night OF Saturday. the Sth OF tebf'iafy
for the benefit of the Free Market, and are making
every preparation to make the affair avery bril-
liant one, indeed. This ball should be patronized
by our citizens generally, as the Free Market needs
every dollar that can be given it.
,FoH ACTIVE SERvtcE.-We understand that
Col. Juan Sfiangolarra, late the popular CON-
mander OF the Regiment of Cazadores, has re-
signed his position as Colonel Of that Regiment
and is now engaged in raising regiment for
active service in the State. Col Mangolarra is an
officer of experience and ability, and if he sue
ceeds in his enterprise, which we do not doubt,
will do good service. If the reportris true, that
the Confederate troops now at Camp Benjamin are
to be sent off to Kentucky, we shall certainly have
need for all the troops which can be raised, and
Col. Mangolarra should be encouraged in his
efforts. He has, we learn, gone to heavy expense
already in equipping the men that have joined
him, and will now have to depend solely upon his
fellow citizens for funds to equip the balance, and
we hope that he will nothave to call ill vain.
TAE CASE OF A. S. WITHERs.-The second trial
of A. S. Withers for the murder of DR.. Mather,
was commenced in the First District Court yester
day morning. 1t occupied the attention of the
court all day, and is likely to last for day or two
more. 1t will be recollectel that Wthers was
tried about month ago, but the jury failing to
agree, a new trial was ordered. A conviction is
considered very doubtful.

A BURGLAR SIoT.--A burglar, in attempting to

window, and as as the thief got on the bal

ton of pain and surprise, and saw him quickly
depart by the way he came. When day broke,
upon examination. quite quantity of blood was
found on the spot and on the banquette under
meath, SO as to leave no doubt but that he had been
seriously wounded. This is the third attempt
which has been made to rob Mr.. Gregors house
but it is likely to be the last, as the thieves will
now conclude that the inmates are dangerous peo-
