On the 4th of July last, Patrick Carroll, an Irishman was stab bed in saloon in East Winsted and died a few days after in consequence of the wound. Vim. Carey, who is accused of having commit ted the deed. is negro. apparently some 21 years of age. On the part of the prosecution it is claimed that Carey did the stsbbing de- liberately and without provocation. The theory of the defence seems to be that the homicide was committed by another man, for whom Carey has been mistaken.

EIGHT CENTS POUND FOR CorToN.-The St. Louis Democrat publishes letter from Black River. Mississippi, from which we make the following extract:
 "We are getting great deal of cotton out of this country. Nearly all the farmers have saved much of their cotton by rolling it out in- to the cane and hiding it there. They come into camp now, sell it to us at eight cents per pound, and conduct our expeditions to the hi ding places. This trade is being carried on exclusively by government, through its regular quartermasters."

To The People Of Crane Tp.

Having, for some time past, been acting
in the capacity of Township Trustees, ant
and as such having to perform the duty o
distributing the relief fund, which has beer
leived and collected in the shape of Tax,
we have by this means become, perhaps
more intimately acquainted with tie wants
and necessities of that class of persons to
whom this relief was to be granted, than
we could otherwise have been. We know
that many of them must suffer this winter
if they have to depend upon The small
amount placed at their disposal, for their
benefit We know, also, that your taxes
are high; and can appreciate your feelings,
when called upon for aid, for ihis purpose,
other than what you pay as taxes. But
When you take into consideration the fact
that rents are high and that provisions and
clothing, of all kinds, more than double
what they formerly were, and then compare
the amount which we distribute, with what
the same number of persons cost you to
provide for, you must certainly know that
they cannot keep themselves even comfort
able with IT, The County Commissioners
have been quite liberal in providing us
but they cannot give what they
have not got; nor can we distribute, more
than we get. We give as much as it is
possible for us to do; but we cannot relieve
all their necessities.
Now, therefore, we appeal to you; the
Farmers, Merchants and Mechanics, of
Crane Township not to let it be said, that
any of the families of our brave soldiers,
we're allowed to suffer- of hunger or cold
a moment, suppose your own
families in the same situation--romembe
the promises you made when the soldiers
left their homes.
No matter what you may think Of the
objects of the war; or why they are absent
rom home; We must remember that the
needy ones, are women and children, and
cannot take care Of, and provide for them
selves. Farmers can bring their wood, aud
produce of any Kind, and leave it where
We can distribute IT, or they can take il

Louisia

BY our last advices from New Orleans
we learn that bonaide effort is about to
be made to reorganze the Stale Govern
ment Of Louisiana upon loyal 'Uuion
basis. The Free State Committee, under
authority from Gov Shepley, have called
for a thorough enrolment Of all the loyal
volors in the State. preparatory to an
election for delegates to State Couven-
ton. This election will probably be
held on the 25th of January. The bust
ness of the delegates elected will be to
fran Constitution. As soon as the en-
rollment has demonstrated taat there are
loyal men enough in the State to warrant
such = step, Governor Shepley will issue
his..warrant for the election. There seems
lo be no doubt that the result will be
such as to restore Louisiana to that posi-.
lion among her sister States, of which she
was deirauded by the juggling of the se-
ression in 1861. 1t is now generally ad-
mitted that the vote by which it is preten-
ded she seeded, was largely in favor of
remaining in the Union and for this rea-
son : Moore, Slidell, Soule. Benjamin 4
c., never would publish the returns.
Under the Amnesty Proclamation, if
one tenth Of the number of voters who
cast their sulfrages at the general cleo
ton in 1860 now prove loyal, the State
may be restored to all the rights and priv
i.eges, save with respect to slaves. which
she enjoyed prior to the Rebellion, and
the Government Of the United States will
maintain aud defend her in their posses.

draw this popular Loan from Sale at Par, and
until ten days notice is given, the Under

The whole amount of the Loan authorized

Four hundred Millions have been already
subscribed for and paid into the Treasury,
mostly within the last seven months. The
large demand from abroad and the rapidly
increasing home demand for use as the basis
for circulation by National Banking Associ-

country, will in very short period, absorb
the balance. Sales have lately ranged from
ten to fifteen millions weekly, frequently eX-
ceeding three millions daily, and as it is well
known that the Secretary of the Treasury has
ample and unfailiug resources in the Duties
