Of the ablest and most distinguished officers
stationed at Corpus Christi, was poisoned in
the most diabolical manner by the enemy,
after his having, performed the most daring:
acts of services to his country.
Yesterday Lieutenant .Conklin, Of the
artillery, with ten men went out to shoot
some birds Of rare plumage that have re-
Gently appeared on our coast, wishing to

While on Padre Island, they discovered
two launches lying near the beach, and, up.
on further examination, discovered Captain.
Kittridge and ffteeu,of his men with their
arms stacked, busily engaged in destroying
the salt works belonging to- James Curry.
Our party approached them as near as they
could without discovery, and when within
about one hundred yards of them they rush
ed out upon them from behind hill which
had concealed them from the enemy, and
demanded surrender. They we're taken
by surprise; and after few minutes hesi.
tation the whole party surrendered, without
drop Of blood being shed.
After the surrender had taken place,
Kittridge proposed to drink glass Of liz
quoras he felt nervous after the excitement,
and asked Lieut.. Conklin to join him. The
Lieutenant hardly ever touched liquor of
any kind, but being insisted on consented.
to drink, little dreaming Of the treachery
of his foe. Two glasses already prepared,
were brought, which they drank. In about
twenty minutes after they had drank, he
was seized with hurting in the stomach
and giddiness in the head, the last symp.
tom was common when he drank liquor at
all, but the first alarmed him and he imme-
diately sent for the doctor to the post. In
the meantime the symptoms increased in,
intensity until he was driven mad by. the
pain he felt. When the physician arrived
it vas too late to do any thing for him; he
died, Wild and raving like madman with
the mania potu.
On being charged by the physician with
his diabolical act, he coolly replied that all
advantages were fair in war; that he had
met Lieut.. Conklin. several times before,
and that it was much easier to kill such with
whisky than With powder and lead, or the
sword that he had tried it and found it sos
Such unbInshir g efrontry and savage
brutality is almost without parallel. :.
Capt. Kittridge is now in the custody OF
the civil Ian, and will be dealt with as his
crime deserves. The other prisoners will
be sent to Brownsville soon.

poison put in the liquor; this, however,
will be determined by a post mortem ex-
animation of the deceased. Houston,
