General News Summary


The supreme court now sitting in Boston
has just made an important decision in a will
case. Andrew ThOrndke, who died in 1854,
was possessed of the sum of $50 000 willed
to him by his father. The money was placed
in trust, the income to be paid to Mr.. Thorn
dixie during life, and the principal to be d.
vided among his heirs at his death. When
that event occurred, Israel Thorndike one of
the brothers of the deceased, entered suit
as heir to recover his share of the $4,000
and its accumuations. This suit was Contes-
ted by Andreas and Anna l.. Thorndike chill
dren of the deceased by Katherine Thorn
dixie, German woman with whom he entered
into civil contract of marriage at Frankfort
on-the- Maine, before the L. S. consul, and
with whom he lived as his wife, acknowledge
ing the children as his up to the time Of his
death. The validity of such marriages under
the laws of Frankfort is doubtful-two doc
tors of law in that city consulted on the point
declaring the marriage valid one, and two
others asserting that it was not The validity
of the claim depending on the validity of the
marriage, the court took up the question, de-
Gliding, in an elaborate opinion, that the mar
riage was valid, and that the money in con-
troverSy, which now amounts to about
$50, 900, belongs to Andreas and Anna l..
| Thorndike, as the children and lawful heirs
| of Andrew Thorndike.
NORFOLK COUNTY.
Josiah Quincy, Sr., has given three hun
dred dollars in aid of the fund for making the
| Neponset and Braintree bridge free from tolls
The Quincy Patriot says, in acknowledging
the gift Ellis name was borne upon the pc
tition for the charter, dated Jan. 81, 1900,
and he was one OF the corporators named in
the act. Sixty-three years have passed away,
and the name of this venerable man, the sole
survivor on the roll of associates in the origi-
nal enterprise, stands first upon the list to-
| day, ready, now as ever, with liberal and gen.
erous subscription, to aid the endowments to
public uses"
| BRISTOL COUNTY.
The Taunton Gazette says that proposals
] for the grading and masonry Of the proposed
| line of railroad from Taunton to Somerset
have been accepted, from parties who will at
once enter upon the execution of the con-
tract. The work is to be pushed with vigor,
and from the well known energy of the pro-
| jectors of the enterprise no doubt can be en-
tertained of its early completion.
The jury of the district court in the case of
Zeno Kelley of New Bedford, charged with
being concerned in fitting out the Tahmaroo
as a SLAYER, have returned a verdict of guilty
on the seventh count-aiding and assisting in
fitting out the vessel for the slave trade.

that the rebel battery that stopped its progress
was at Blunt's Creek. The following is from
the Boston Journal
''We have seen gentleman who left New
bern on Saturday. He reports that the expe-
dition which went out under Gen. Spinola,
some eight thousand strong, to reinforce Gen.
Foster, had returned to Newbern, and that
Gen. Vessel was to start on Sunday morning
with his brigade, on the same mission. The
9th Rhode Island regiment started on Friday
night in the steamer Escort to run the block
ade. The Ceres, Il small boat, run the block
ade last week and conveyed ammunition and
provisions to Gen. Foster. member Of the
North Carolina regiment who left Gen. Fos-
ter on Thursday, says he was in good spirits,
and said he could hold out six months if he
only had provisions"
The Richmond papers Of last Saturday.
April llth, reported that the heavy gunboats
and 'ten Yankee regiments" had reached
Gen Foster The letter dated in the fort
April 10th does notreport these arrivals. Ims
throws some doubt on the rebel report.
From the Richmond Sentinel, April 10
From North Carolina it is strange that we
receive 50 little that is reliable. The follow
ing, from the Wilmington journal of the 9th
inst, ought to have been otherwise confirmed
before now. The journal is not one of the
sensation papers, but tne opposite. We give
its statement as the latest we have from that
quarter, unless the telegraph brings us some
from Washington, n. G.
1--WE have cUnversed with gentleman who
left Gen. Hills headquarters at nine o'clock
yesterday morning, and learn from him that
Gen. Hill has the town perfectly surrounded:
that two transports or gunboats had been de-
stroyed by our forces. The steamer Louisi-
ana has not been disabled. She was still at
Washington and unable to get down the river.
On Tuesday the enemy attempted to rein
force Washington from Newbern, when fight
took place somewhere between Swift creek
and ChocOwinity road. Picket skirmishing is
continually taking place. We do not learn
whether we lost any men in the above fight
or not. Gen. Hill has sent a demand tor the
surrender Of the town. 1t was refused. He
then requested that the women and children
should be removed, which was also refused.
From what we can gather it appears that the
enemy are unable 10 procure provisions, eth
er by land or water. We know where the
generals headquarters are, and the position
Of his batteries but we think it would be i'm
prudent to publish it, We hope to receive
something definite from there in few days.
1--WE learn, just as we are going to press,
that dispatch has been received from Rocky
Mount, stating that the town of Washington
was taken possession OF by Gen. Hill yester-
day. We have no doubt OF the correctness of
the report, as we are aware that such result
was expected to take place some time during
the present week"
P. S.-A dispatch that reached US late last
night, announces that troops and supplies
reached General Foster on the 18th inst.
Among the troops aboard the boats that
reached Little Washington, were probably
the third and fOrty-third Massachusetts, and
the fifth Rhode Island

The War Committees Report.
We have received several letters in regard
to the report of the committee on the conduct
of the war. This report is not yet printed.
The committees summary of its contents
has appeared in several of the newspapers.
The complete document gives full report OF
the evidence taken, and when that comes the
people can read it, making their own COM
ments and forming their own conclusions
The report of the testimony gives, not what
the committee say, but was sworn to 10y Il
great number of witnesses, including Gen.
Mcclellan and most Of the prominent
officers Of the army of the Potomac
The facts brought to light by this
testimony speak for themselves, and it
will be seen whether the committees account
of them is correct. Those whose incomprc-
hensible condition Of mind moves them to
disregard these facts, assail the report, and
denounce the committee without regard to
truth or reason, should for their own sakes
pay some regard to propriety. 1t is certainly
desirable to read carefully the reported tcsti-
mony before undertaking to criticise it, and
before making too much haste to denounce
the committee for what was said by so many
witnesses. We counsel all such unhappy per-
sons to remember that the maddest prejudice
can neither suppress facts nor control their
influence, and also that its most vehement
demonstrations will always fail to endow stu
pidity with the brilliancy and power of genius.
We understand that the report, when printed,
will be distributed by members of the last con-
Orase

The News from suffolk. virginia.

All the letters from Suffolk and from that
neighborhood, give accounts of rebel move
ments and reports, which threaten a furious
attack on our forces there; but the attack had
not been made. One letter says 1--WE had
a large detachment of troops about leaving
Suffolk, when rebel mail was captured, an
nouncing that Longstreet and Hill were com
ing upon US in large force" The troops
which were about leaving to reinforce Gen.
Foster, did not go; but it is suspected that
the rebel mail was Il ruse, and that the sole
aim of the rebel movements menacing Suf-
folk, is to prevent the sending of troops to
Little Washington; and this suspicion ap-
pears to be well founded In consequence
Of these rebel demonstrations, no reinforce
ments have been sent from Suffolk to Gen.
eral Foster. A letter, dated April 18th,
says:-
''This afternoon occurred one of those dia-
bolical tragedies that have disgraced the con-
tederates SO frequently. A family whose
house was just outside our works-burned
to-day-attempted to seek safety by fleeing to
our lines. a rebel squad commanded them
TO halt, and they disobeyng, they fred a vol
ley, killing the woman. The family were en-
tirely rebel, but were not spared ON that ac-
count. 1t was one of the saddest sights | ev-
er behold, to see little boy coming on lie.
fore the afflicted husband, who was driving a
team on which lay the dead body of his wife,
murdered by these fends."
One of the letters from Suffolk, referring
to the case of Col. Kimball of the Hawkins
Zouaves, who was shot by Gen. Corcoran,
says
''There are two versions of the sad and dis
graceful affair, of which it is said whiskey is at
the bottom. One account is, that Gen. Cor
coran attempted to pass without the counter
sign, when Col Kimball drew his sabre, and
was Immediately shot. Another account says
that Gen. Corcoran gave the word, but that
the lieutenant colonel attempted to arrest his
passage, when he was killed. An investiga-
ton will, Of course, be had. Meanwhile, let
the people pay no attention to camp rumors,
and suspend judgment till facts transpire."
