REBEL DARIBARlSbf

From the Missouri Democrat
The following is given us upon the
authority Of Lieutenant Cole, of the
Mississippi Marine Brigade. !.
The day after the battle of Milliken's 3
Bend in June last, the Marine brigade
landed some ten miles below the Bend
and attacked and routed the gaerillas
which had been repulsed by our troops
be gunboats the day previous.
Hibbard's cavalry battalion Of
Marine brigade, followed the rotreating
rebels to tensas Bayou, and were horr.
ri6ed At finding of skeletons Of white
officers commanding negro regiments,
who had been captured BY the rebels
at Milikens Bend. In many cases
these officers had been nailed to the
trees-and cruci6ed !: in this situation
q fire was built around the tree and
they suffered slow death from broiling
The charred and partially burned
limbs were still fastened to the stakes
Other instances were .noficed Of charred
skeletons Of officers, which had been
nailed to slabs, and the slabs placed
against house, which was set on fire
by the inhumane demons, the poor snf.
ferers having been roasted alive until
nothing was left but chare,l bones.
Negro prisoners rccaptured from the
guerillas confirmed these facts, which
were amply corrobora'ed by the bodies
found, as shove described. The ne
groes taken were 10 he resold into sla-
very, while tho white officers were con-
sumed by fire. Lieutenant Cole holds
himself responsible for tho truth Of the
statement.

The New York Sunday D;patch re
latcs the following ): y
In one compartment Of the cage in
which the animals perform at Van Am.
bnrg's beautiful mensgerie is . huge,
tawny Asiatio lion. his room mate is
. black female tiger. This tigrcss is
small, compared to the regal lion, but is
highly valuable asa > geological curiosity
snd The only specimen of the. black
tiger in this country. She was pur-
chased by Mr.. Van Amburg two years
ago, and has lived with the lion ever
since. The attachment Between the
two is remarkable. When other ami.
mails are in the same cage, and any af.
front is offered to the little tigress, she
rims under the lion, and woe be to the
animal that dares to approach her No
matter how hungry he may be, the
lion never touches his share of their
daily meal until his little chum has Sc
lected her share, AMI even this he never
entirely consumes until certain that she
has enough. All the animals are as fat
a. moles but this black tigress is al
derman;c in her proportions, and no
remedy exists for the matter. She has
been twice removed from the lion but
until she has returned, the generous
beast would take neither food nor rest
while the frantic. manner in which lie
dashed at the bars was q sufficient
warning that the further detention Of
the tigress would be q dangerous mat
ter. Should his mate die the lion would
pine to death. Once, while she was
taken away, . lioness was substituted
The lion instantly fell upon her, and at
a single bite, broke her spine and crush
ed some Of her ribs. Careful nursing
saved her life, and she is still living, but
with he, liindcrparts i,nmovably paraly
zcd.

CHILD MURDER IN CHINA

The Esperance Of Nancy publishes
the following particulars respecting the
proceedings Of the Society of Saint.
Enhance in China, extracted from Z
letter written BY lady, . native o.
Nancy, at present residing at Hong.
Kong ;-."All that You have heard about
Chinese children is but too true. They
are not, indeed given to pigs here bus
that Is the ease farther in the interior.
Al Hong Kong mothers come to the
asylum Of the Sam. Enhance and offer
their children for sale, as l myself saw
only day or two sgo. I hsve Just
visited this asylum, kept by the mans
Of Saint Paul. whose principal Establish
ment is at Chartrese. While I was
there the bell rang, nun went 10 open
it, and returned 10 an instant after with
female infant only = few days old.
The price paid was 200 sapeks !; the
mother, q hideous creature, wanted
more, or else to have the cnild's clotEe.
returned, which were accordingly given
her. The nuns told me that there wer
women who carried on quite trade in
these poor babies. One had brought
about 40 to the asylum, and she con-
tessed that before she had the opportu
nifty Of selling them, she has thrown
above GOO into tho sea. l must tell you
that l stood godmothcr to the poor
thing purchased in my presence. The
great cause Of these horrors is that the
Chinese can repudiate their wives, and
marry again every year. The divorced
wives, according to tho Chinese law,
have the right Of life and death over
their children, and if unwilling TO rear
them, they get rid Of them in any way
they choose"

Jerusalem under Grouuo

An account of Signor Pierotti's dis
coveries in the sutterranean topography
Of Jerusalem has been published. En-
paoysd by the Pasha - an engineev, be
has discovered that the modern city Of
Jerusalem stands on several layers oi
masonry, the undermost Of which, com.
posed Of deeply bevelled and enormous
stones, be sttribues 10 the ago Of Solo,
mos, The next to that Of Zerubsble. the
next to that Of Justipian, and 90 en- I'm
the time Of the 6asacens and Crusaders.
He has traced . series Of conduits and
sewers leading from the "dome Of the
rock," mosque standing on the very
site Of the altar Of sscra6cs ID tho tsh-
pie, 70 the valley Of Jshossrhss, By
means Of which the the psies.s were en-
abled to food the whole temple with
water, and thus carry OF IN the blood
and offal Of the sacrsdces to the brook
Of Kedron. The manner Of his explo-
:ations was very interesting. He got
an Arab to walk up through these i'm
mense sewers, ringing bell and blow
trumpet, while he himself. by follow.
ing the sound, was ablo to trace the ex-
act course they took. About two years
ago ho ac-iden,ly discovered . fountain
at tho pool Of Bethsaida, on his opening
i. copious stream Of water immediate.
ly began to flow and hiss flowed ever
since. No one knows from whence il
comes or whittier it goes. This caused
the greatest excitemen. among the Jews
who focked in crowds to drink and
balhe themselves in it. They fancied
it was one Of the signs of Mesiah's com.
ing, and portendcd the speedy restora-
ton Of their commonwealth. This
fountain, which has peculiar taste, like
that Of milk ard water, is identified BY
Signor Pieroti with the fountain which
lIezekiah built, and which il described
by Joscphus. The measurements and
position of most Of these relnains accord
exactly with the Jewish historians de
scrip,ions.

Mason THE SEcEssleN,sr Two
years ago the Mahonyites nominated
Mason for Governor. They nominate
him this year for Judge. The follow.
ing extract from T. w. Clagett's letter
then, is quite as applicable to the case
now.
"Indepcndent of Judge Mason's &C
centricities, heretofore manifested in
his political life, somc Of which were
so ably set forth by Hon. w. +. Cool
baugh, of Burlington, it is well known
that within the last three months, he
has declared that he sonld settle our
national troubles in twenty days: and
when requested to state how he would
settle them, he answered sci would
withdraw the army from the field, and
acknowledge Southern Indepcndencev
The acknowledgement of Southern
Independence by the National Govern.
ment is dissolution of the Union
Hence Judge Mason is disunionist
To be disnnionist is to be disloyal to
the National Government and to be
disloyal is to be no Democrat. Demo
Gratis, therefore, are under no obligation
to vote for Judge Mason but on the
contrary, by voting for him for Cover
nor, they will endorse his disunion sen.
timents, and will thereby be Justly
chargcable with being dlsuniopists them
selves"

A despatch dated Murfreesboro', May 25, and
published in the Northern papers, says:
s G. L. Vallandigham was received here On an ex-
ira train from Nashville between ten and eleven
O'Clock last night. After some hours conyersa-
tion with Gen'l Ro encrans and others, he was
put IL an open spring wagon and escorted by a
squadron of cavalry to the outposts, and at A.
M. to-day was delivered into the hands of the
authorities. A single private soldier received
him, to whom he made the following declara-
ton am citizen of the State of Ohio, and
of the United States. l am here by force, and
against my will. / therefore surrender myself
to you as prisoner of war;
despatch from Shelbyville on the 28th, to
our own papers says:
The Hon. G. l.. Vallandigham has been re-
ceived within our lines and is now at a private
house in the city. He is going to Virginia in
day or two, but is undecided yet to what point.
He is in excellent health and spirits, has not
depressed expression and his movements are full
OF animation and energy.
He comes upon compulson into the Confeder-
ate lines and Is received as a citizen of Ohio.
and as an exile banished from his country fo T no
offence except his love of constitutional liberty
and the true principle of his government, out
ragged by the despotlsm of the Lincoln admins
tration. He is forcbiy denied protection in the
United States and is Obliged to seek it from the
Confederate States
