Dongluss Mcbride, son of General Nc
BRIDE OF Missouri, was killed BY Mimic
bail, shot by our marksmen during the
t1lng across the river at this place Satur-
aay ttborntfig. lie was shot through the
head, the bail passing in one side of his
Eskuil, while seated on his horse, observing
FOUR movements, about two hundred Yards
from the river. He was then lsshed TO a
fude bier, constructed of two rails, and
conveyed on it to negro house by his
|coinrades. The latter then hastily left him
with his feet protruding out of the door.
l1e survived IN an unconscious state Till
3fhe next morning, and was buried in hole
with slight covering Of dirt. His friends

OUR ARMY CORRESP ONDENCE.

New ORLEANS, May 22nd, 1862.
To the Editor Of the Ph@nir,
DEAR SIR IA bundle of your papers re-
minds me that the Sth Vermont regiment is not
forgotten by you. Please accept through me,
the hearty thanks of the many officers and men
who are reading your columns to-day, with a
delight known only TO those who are furnishing
for news from home, and who read and re-read
every part of a Northern sheet.
So the West River bridge has gone So
Estey & Green have got a new whistle All
the items and news snd advertisements are
pored over, till the paper is literally worn out.
The post office department is, of course, sec
ondary TO military affairs, and mails come and
go, or rather don't come and go, just as they
find chance. Soon, all this will be regulated
to our great satisfaction
The Sth regiment is quartered in this city, in
large stone building called the Mechanics In
stitute, and we are as comfortable as circum-
stances will allow.
Comparatively few have been taken sick in
the city, and those who were left at Ship Island

The 7th regiment is at its post in Gen
Phelps brigade, at Carroton, miles up the
river, encamped behind formidable breastworks
and ready to repel any attack from the North.
The General is, need hardly say, as beloved
by his men as ever, by always sharing their lot
ordering no duty he does not take his part in
living with them, on the same field, in tent
no larger than the privates he has their con
fdence and affection, while he always com
mands their respect and prompt obedience.

An ADRoIT RAscAL.-The notorious COL
Buchanan Cross, who was confined in the Penn
sy,vania Peniteniiary for a number Of years for
forgery nearly succeeded last week in escaping
by his unparalleled skill in chirography. BY
some means he obtained blanks and papers
from the War Department and forged series
of letters and orders directing Gov. Curtin to
pardon and release him, as he was needed i'm
mediately at the War Department for secret
service. Some confederate mailed the docu-
ments for him at Washington, and the franks
and contents were so clearly executed that the
prison Marshal and the Governor were imposed
upon, and lost no time in issuing full pardon
to the rogue. Luckily the Marshal took Cross
to Washington and into Secretary Stantons
presence, where amid much CONSERVATION, the
ruse was discovered. But as it is not certain
that Gov. Curtins pardon can be revoked, the
adrot Colonel will finish the rest of his term in
Fort Lafayette, by virtue of an extemporized
military law.

LOCAL INTELLIGEN CII .

ECLIPSE OF THE MooN.-This interesting
performance commenced at a late hour on
Wednesday evening and closed early Thursday
morning of last week. Owing TO the unseemly
hour and the threatening aspect of the weather
the attendance was not large. Some Of our
contemporaries attempt to describe the appear
ance of the moon under such trying circum-
stances, but we take a more charitable view Of
the case in emitting any mention of these little
failings of luminOry, whose general reputa-
ton for the cardinal virtues stands so well in
the community besides, our reporter was
asleep, as an honest man should be at that late
hour. For the benefit of those fond OF such
performances we are authorized to announce
that the entertainment will be repeated on the
morning of the 9TH of December next, and that
there will be positively no postponcment on
account of the weather.

THE MISSOURI CONVENTION.

The State Convention of Missouri assem- bled |
at Jefferson City few days since. An ordi-
nance was adopted changing the State Consti-
tuition so as TO provide that after the lst of
January, 1868, all general elections shall occur
on Tuesday next following the first Monday in
November, and shall be held bi-ennially. The |
following resolutions relative to the emancipa-
ton policy of the Presiden; were referred to a
select committee of FIVE:
Whereas The Congress of the United States,
on the special recommendation of the Pres-
dent, has adopted joint resolution in the fol-
lowing words, to witt
Resolved, That the United States ought to
cooperate with any State which may adopt n
gradual adjustment Of Slavery, giving to such
State at It's discretion. compensation for the
inconvenience, public and private, produced by
such change of system
And, Whereds, The President of the United
States in his recent proclamation revoking and
annulling certain authorized declaration as
sumed 10 be made by Maj. Gen. Hunter, of
the United States Army, has earnestly invited
the people of the States interested to take into
consideration the said Joint resolution,
RESOLVED, first, That in the opinion of this
Convention the proposition contained in the
said joint resolution adopted by Congress, APP
proved 1862, is entitled as well from its source
as its intrinsic Importance, TO the deliberate
and respectful consideration of the people of
Missouri,
Resolped, second, That while majority of the
Convention have not felt authorized at this time
to take action in respect to this grave and del
icate question of private right and public policy
presented by said resolution, yet this body de-
sres cordially to recognize as well the generous
spirit therein displayed by the Government Of
the United States, as the eminent patriotism
and ability which have distinguished the Presi-
dent of the United States in his efforts to sub
due this unholy rebellion, and restore peace and
order to this State.
A bill defining the qualifications of voters was
passed by a vote of 42 yeas to p nays. By
the first section of this bill all persons who
have been engaged in the rebellion since the
18th of December last, are prevented from vo-
ting in any State election hereafter. The sec
ond section provides that before any person
shall be elected or appointed to office, he shall
take an oath that he has not during the present
rebellion, willfully taken up arms or levied war
against the United States, nor against the pro-
visional government of Missouri nor adhered
the enemies of either.
From these indications it appears that the
people of Missouri are possessed of proper
sense of their obligations to the general gov
eminent, and that secession is there about
played out.

CHILD GNAwED TO DEATH BY RATs.-A
most awful and startling discovery was made
the other day, on Beauhien street, in one of the
sinkholes with which that street swarms. A
man went down into one of them after his dog,
which had run in there, and did not make his
appearance in answer tn his masters calls, but
kept up terrific barking, and the gentleman
was horror stricken at finding, laying on dirty
bed of straw, female and infant the former
almost in state of nudity, and in beas'ly
state of intoxca,iun, while the little babe was
horribly manged, the lower parts ct its legs
from the knee down, and halt its back having
been gnawed off to the bone by rats.
He called some neighbors to his assistance,
who took the child and did all that they could
to alleviate its sufferings, but il ceased to live
in about hall an hour. Several attempts were
made to arouse the drunken mother hut she
would only open her eyes, look around with O
vacant stare, and curse them for disturbing her.

JEFE. DAVIS A PLEBEIAN.-It seems that
there is little alloy in the chivalric blood OF
JEFF. Davis, if the Nashville Union is to be
credited, for ii makes the following statement
relative to his Ontecedents;
"Jeh. Davis father lived for number OF
years in log cabin situated in what is now the
town Of Fairyiew, twelve miles from Hopkins
vile, Ky. The house is now weatherboarded
and used as tavern. Old Davis was man OF
bad character, horse trader and swindler, and
OF very low habits. A fine horse was missing
on one occasion in the neighborhood, under
such suspicious circumstances that he found it
safest TO leave the country and fly to Mississip-
pi. jeff. Davis is his illegitimate son, born
some miles distant from his fathers house, and
taken home by him when several years of age.
Some of Davis relatives still live in that part
of Kentucky. We would never have alluded
to this sinister bar on Jeff.'s escutchcon, were
not his friends continually prating about South
ern gentilty and the low breeding of Union
people. Our own opinion is that Jeff.'s birth
does him more credit than any portion of his
subsequent life"
