Mr.. BoULIeNT-This gentleman represented fbe
second Congressional district Of Louisiana in he old
United States Congress at the time Of the dissolution Of
the Union. In the exciting and trying scenes of the ses-
sion Of 1s59-60-6L he occupied q sort Of intermediate
position, denOUneing the Ab0liionists and failing TO co.
operate with his Southern colleagues. After the seees
sion Of his State he reluctantly left his seat, and main
tanned at home the position of 3 dissenteT, a~bstaniDg
from participation with his country and his feIoW-cid

il was with much difficulty that the closely ADJOINING

ingztOn could be saved, and the Bsptst Factory Chapel,
a wooden Building on tia opposite side Of Bsy street Is
charred and disagured by the great heat to wEieh it twas

We learn that the amouat Of cotton in the warehouse
was Just about six thousand bales. belonging to both
buyers and planters, and that the entire amount was
consumed.
At the time Of writing this. it isuncsrtain whether the
books and pspers in the vault Of the warehouse are
preserved The vault contains an iron safe, in which
the money was deposited. and this IS most probably
valuable papers se not in the safe, though in the vault.
aud their condition is more questionable. The vault
has not bursted OF fallen in from the effects Of The heat
but Is still unbroken.
Thore is every reason to believe that this FIRE was the
work Of an ineendiary. BOth the hour at which it broke

Reube Stout in the hands of the
Military Authorities. a

Col. John S. Williams of the 63ds In
diana arrived in this city yesterday morn
ing from Delphi. having in custody Reu-
ben Stout, a deserter from the Goth Regi.
ment. who it will be remembered killed
special policeman Huffman, of Delphi,
while that officer was endeavoring to take
him into custody. Stout was arrested in
Clinton county last week. and the Lafsy-
ette Courier says presumption exists
that the whole matter of the arrest was q
preconcerted plan between Stout, his cap
tors aud certain other parties, by which
Stout was to receive the 5000 offered for
his apprehension by the Sheriff of Carroll
county, and stand his chance for acquittal.
Immediately npon the arrival Of the pris-
oner al Delphi Judge Apologize. who had
already made out commitment papers, had
him taken before Justice of the Peace
Stout confessed that he had shot Huffman
but claims that it was done in self-defense
that Huffman was about to draw q re-
volver on him. The Justice of the Peace
could do nothing but commit him for tri-
al. 80 'ee %ss - 74
p BY this shrewd management the civil
authorities supposed they had gotten the
military by the heels. When the Post
master 1.-THE acting Provost Marshal) de-
manded Stout the Sheriff refused to give
him up. of which refusal Gen. Darlington
was immediately notified Col. Williams
with small body ofsoldiers visited Del
phi and second demand was made with
the same result. Col W.. however. man
aged to find out where the keys Of the Jail
were and took them to the prison. opened
the doors. arrested Stout. brougat him
out. re-lockcd the doors and replaced the
keys. The prisoner vas then placel in
charge of the guard. and thus escorted was
brought to this city. The whole affair was
m managed very quietly. sbnt.when the. facts
became known at Delphi much noise and
followed. We learn that Judge
Applegate also arrived in the city yester-
day afternoon. What bis business Is has
not yet transpircd. There can be no

South for white men? Who would not
like to live in the sunny south after the me-
groes have all left? But the great ques-
tion is, shall this wicked rebellion be
crushed and the Union restored? Those
who answer yes. but turn round and clam
or, about the Proclamation. and refuse to
stand by their Government. because. in
their opinion, the constitutional rights of
men who are trying to destroy not only
that instrument itself. but are numbering
our loyal sons and brothers every day, arc
disregardqd. remind me OF a man who
would contend that the sun shonld be
bloited ont because there are spots on it,;
or should reject Heaven because the rela-
tion OF ma nand wife does not exist there
1t is hard to exercise patience with such
inconsistent men. 1t looks to us that
they are real traitors at heart They are
certainly doing more harm than those with
arms in their hands. ie ol .sisag g
!. You state that there is still q strong
Union feeling among you. sufficient to
suppress all disloyal manifestions, and
that the loyal men will stand united like
one man in support Of the government.
This is cheering news. The trying time.
from what we hear. will be when the
draft takes place. The Union men will
then. probably. have an opportunity to
show their devotion to their Government.
l hope they viii support it in earnest. if
necessary. with arms in their hands.
About three weeks ago the officers of
this Division held meeting and prepared
petition to the Legislature of Indiana.
praying that body to assist the Govern
ment with all their power, and especially
our brave and beloved Gov. Morton. who
has proved himself to be the soldiers
friend; to reject all party discussions until
the rebellion is extinguished, &c, &c
This petition was read to every regiment
on dress parade. and universally sppro-
we'd. sai.
