Further down the avenue was q pile OF

three hundred cases Of shells, and the rumor
spread through the crowd that the shells were
1oaded creating terrible panic, The officers
OF the fard appeased the alarm By the state-

firemen and the employees of the Yard at-
tacked the fire with shovels, heaping earth

have just heard q story about Mr.. Vall.n-

t2nt enough to deserve Investigation,
It will be remembered that up to the fall Of
Fo1t Donelson communication between the
lines Was comparatively easy, over scores Of
Kentucky by-roads leading ultimately to
Bowling Green OF HopEinsVlile, aud SO On to
Nashville. Among the letters addressed to
rebel officers, left behind them in their hast7
evacuation Of Nashville, it thus came that
many were from different parties at the
Quite number Of these letters, belonging
to guests Of ths house, arrived At the ST.

called for By their owners. Mr.. Carter, the
proprietor Of the hotel, supposinu. Al he
says, that some Of tile letters might contain
Valuab'es which he would hare some subsa.

examined them.
Among the letters thus opened waa one

Such Is tue Substance Of Mr. Carter's story,
as told By him to well. known and every

whose lips have it. OF Mr.. Vallaudigham's
desire for rebel success, recent develop nents
can hare left little doubt; but be is SO char

There can be no doubt, however, Of Mr,

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.-h singular case
was brought before Justice Boerum yesterday
afternoon. A German woman, named johanna
GiI)ies aDpeared before the Judge and COM
nlained that man named LOUIS helEer hao
Threatened to take her lie, and she was afraid
he would keep his word. She appeared III
great state of agitation and said that she was
anxious to leave the country. The Judge
after this statement, was DESTROYS OF knowing
what relationship there existed between them,
and inquired why she wished to leave the coun-
try. She hesitated and appeared dlsInci1ned
TO make known any further facts. She Was
assured that the law would protect her from
any violence from this man, and warrant was
ACCORDINGLY issued for his arrest. Mrs. Glllles
isouite an ntelligentiand very preposseslng look
ing woman OF about twenty-five years OF age,
and has evidently come from one OF the most
respectable families in Germany. The warrant
tor the arrest of Reiper was placed the hands
OF officer Utter who arrested hum yesterday
morning. In the afternoon private examlna-
ton in the case took place The pistols with
which the accused was going to shoot Mrs:
Gilies were produced, and found to be we'll
loaded. Reiper appeared to be extremely an.
xious to have the matter settled, ard stated
that if they would allow him to have short
interview with the lady it would be all right.
Mrs. Giies did not appear to desire any inter
view. He seemed to be so persistent IN the
matter that a suspicion was awakened that be
merely wished to get an opportunity to take
her life. They accordingly took him IN prl-
yate room where, on searching him, they found
a dagger in one of his boots. The private in
terview with the lady was not granted There
is, however, long story connected with the
affair which was not brought out on the exam
ination Reiper, who is fine looking young
man. about thirty years Of age, came to this
country in company with the complainant about
four months since, from Berlin. Prussia: and
it is alleged that they eloped; that the fair
complainant is the wife of wealthy German in
Prussia, and that Reiper occupied the high
position Of one of the Chief Judges in said city.
The lady, from some cause or other, ltappears,
has since regretted the false step she took, and
is now anxious to return to her native land,
Reiper refused to let her go, and therefore
threatened, as is charged, if she attempted to
leave him, that he would take her life. The
Judge sent him to jail on short commitment
IN order to give her an opportunity to leave the
country. n. 7, Express.
