to havecommencedth the difficultyby hurting
missiles at the negroes, driving them off Of

Another raccount says Adger's wound was

the distractions which the rebels had ex-
tended across the harbor from Sumter TO
Moultrie. She pushed straight up towards
the distractions. They were found to con-
sist of network, chains and cables stretch
ed across the harbor, over which it was i'm
possible for the. .Wehawleen to run without
touling her propeller, which she found 1t
impossible to force through this network,
in which the rebels are supposed to have
suspended torpedoes and other submarine
explosives. Having completed the exam
ination and tested the eimpossibility of work
ing upthe harbor until means were devised
for the removal of the obstructions, she re-
turned to her former position.
New York, April 13.-The Times pub
fishes an extra containing an account OF
the fight at Charleston, which says the re-
suit OF the reconnaissance proves the insuf-
ficiency of the iron-clad feet to take the
city alone.
The Nahant received 80 wounds, several
being bad fractures. The Passaic was also
wounded severely in the turret and pilot
house. The Nantucket's turret was so
Jared that the port could not be opened,
rendering the l5-inch gun useless. None
of the other monitors we're disabled.

FERNANDO WooD ON "WAR DEMO
ATs.'-Fernando Wood made a speech
n New York. on Tuesday night of last
week, in which he said: a
If the Democratic party shall select a
War Democrat, [hisses] there will be no
change of policy. A War Democrats
man who proclaims himself Democrat,
and then is elected President of the United
States upon war platform-must necessa-
rily carry out war programme; and If he
carries out war platform; why, what diff
ference will there be between that man pur-
suing policy of a vigorous prosecutions OF
the war; and the man who now is pursuing
a vigorous prosecution? [Applause.] l
hold, therefore, that if the War Democrats,
or if our Democratic National Convention
adopts war platform, and if they place
upon that platform War Democrat, and
elect him to the office, the only difference
will be, one set of men to steal, instead of
the other. Laughter and applause. These
new War Democrats will come in more
hungry than those lazy, fat rascals who are
now hanging round. Applause and
laughter.] And instead of two thousand
millions of dollars to be owed at the end,
in four wears, it will be twenty times as
much, because Democrats can out-steal any
other class of men. [Applause and laugh
teri Now, say there must be q change OF
policy; we must have, not only change OF
men, but q change of measures; we must
not only put the War Republicans out OF
office, but we must keep tho War Demo-
Gratis out of Office.

ARCHBISHOP HUGHES VS.. MAHoNEY.-
Archbishop Hughes of New York, having
been accused by Dennis Mahoney, the
traitor of the Dubuque Herald, who has
graduated at Fort Lafayette, of having
turned political somersault, denies the
charge, and says he never had any politics
to change, ''except to fulfill, both in tho
spirit and in the letter of his oath of allegi-
ance to the United States Government, the
duties and obligations therein expressed or
implied, as expected from good and 10y
al citizen He thinks the only mistake
as to conscription has been in not adopting
it tw:nty months ago. p
But the good bishop does not like to have
Dennis tell him he has nopolitical influence,
and rejoins warmly: ''The archbishop Of
New York, if he We're to employ, even for
twenty -four,hours, his influence in what
the world calls politics, could make dec
per sensation that Mr.. Mahoney and the
Dubuque Herald could effect in twenty
four years. But the archbishop knows his
duty too well to waste his influence, by in
considerate and perhaps improper inf1u-
ence, on any question affecting the general
welfare of his countrymen, the people of the
United States. s."-Chicag0 Journal.

How FORTUNES ARE MADE AND LOST
IN WAR TIMEs.-The New York Journal
of Commerce gives the following instances
Of the hazard of mercantile transactions
during war times: ,Ll
An invoice of six hundred bales of cotton
was consigned to this market, on English
account It was sold at ninety three cents
per pound, and the seller at once engaged
his exchange for. remittance; Before tho
transactions were concluded, the turn came,
and both cotton and exchange came down.
The buyer of the cotton was not able to take
it, but the buyer Of the exchange was COM
PEELED to fulfill his agreement, rec M" SO that he
of the transaction while the cotton still re-
mained unsold! Take another instance: A
celebrated manufacturer bought of very
clever speculator eight hundred bales Of
cotton for forward delivery at high price
say eighty-eight cents. :. Cotton went
down. down, down, every day, and the
manufacturer warns into panic. So he
settles his contract by paying over to the
fortunate operator check for $S4, 900.

who Murdered DR.. BurdeIl.

/ On Friday last Charles Lewis was hung
at Trenton, N. J., for the murder Of James
Rowand, at Princeton, on the 18th day of
November last. From admissions which
he made just before his death, the belief is
strong that he was the murderer Of DR..
Harvey Burdell, in Bond street, New York.
in 1857, which event caused such sensa.
ton in that city, and for which Mrs. Cum
nidgham was tried and acquitted. A cor
respondent of the New York Tribune, who
visited Lewis in his cell, relates the follow
ing:
ssHe was, according to his own story.
well acquainted with DR.. Harvey Burdeli
and Mrs. Cunningham; was in company
with DIR. Burdell on the evening of his
murder, and had seen him win pile of
money in a .Bowery gambling house.
About that time Lewis went q missing, and
no more was seen of him until the 18th of
June, 1862, just after his release from the
State prison at Auburn, where he had
served term Of five years for committing
a burglary in Albany. He next turns up
about the time stated, in New York, in
possession of $6, ,000in gold $20pieces, which
he was anxious to convert into Govern
ment bonds. He said he never had an ac-
they always wanted to go halves, and were
likely to "peach" upon him.
''In a recent conversation with one of his
cOunself in the hearing Of one of the special
Deputy Sheriffs at Trenton, he admitted
that he knew more about the murder Of
DR.. Burdell than he would divulge. In his
trunk was found q pocket-handke
marked "Chas. J. Ketcham." 1t may be
remembered that shirt, marked with the
same name, was found in bloody condi-
ton in the attic of the house Of Burdell, the
day after the Bond Street tragedy. Those
who know most about Lewis, believe the
handkerchief to have come from the same
place, and to have belonged to the same
owner. The theory established on the trial
of Mrs. Cunningham, that Burdell was
killed by left-handed person, is also re-
ooncilable with the left-handed habits of
Lewis. He was seen chopping wood at
Milestone with his left hand, and the evil
dence on the Coroner's inquest on the body
Of Mr.. Rowand, shows the blow to have
been struck by left-handed man, on the
presumption that it was dealt from behind,
and Lewis subsequently admitted that he
used the club with his left hand.
Lewis, beforehis heath, confessed himself
guilty of score or more of murders, ar
sons, &C., and during his confinement, and
up to the last moment, manifested the most
fiendish and brutal instincts. With such
contempt and horror did the people of
Trenton regard Lewis, they refused to allow
his body to be buried in the town, even in
the Potter's field"

The SLAVES OF PREJUDIcE.-Deafh robbed
Of has prey.-There are queer people in the
world people with the most absurd, unreas-
enable and indefeusibe predjudices. For ex-
ample, we have met with individuals who had
a morbid antipathy to anything that was ex-
tensiveIy advertised, no matter what might be
its actual claims to the confidence of the pub
lie. These eccentrics looked with especial dis
favor on advertised medicines. They could
not see, for example, 10 DR.. HoLLowAYs mag
nifcent system OF advertising covering as it
does, all the mediums of publicity which the
world affords, anything but gigantic scheme
of mere speculation. True, they could not
gainsay the testimony pouring in spontaneous
ly from the highest sources, in favor of his in
comparable Pills and Ointment, but still they
shook their heads and muttered humbug."-
OF course there is no possibili ty of arguing
with men who want reason. The best way is
to let them alone. Fortunately such speci-
mems Of stupidity are few and far between"
in this enlightened era. The general feeling is
that if thing is in itself excellent, its virtues
should be proclaimed to the four winds of
heaven, for the general benefit of mankind
Hence, the proclamations made by DIR. HoLLo
WAY, through the entire newspaper press of
the world, of the properties and operation of
his remdies, meets with the cordial approval
OF thinking men. The value of the preparations
as specifics for the various internal and exler-
ternal complaints peculiar to different climates,
or common to the world at large, is conceded
not only by the masses, but by governments,
men of science and candid observers in every
walk of life. Can such remedies be too wide.

servants during the following period, towit
Those over 40 years of age for and during
their lives, those under II until they arrive at
the age of %, and those of all other ages un-
til the 4th Of July, 1876. The persons or
their legal representatives who up to the mo-
ment Of emancipation were owners of slaves
hereby freed, sha II during the period for
which services such freed men are reserved to
them, have the same authority aud control
over the said freedmen for the purpose of re-
ceiving the possessions and services of the

When Hon. JOHN G oNNRss was elected to
the United States Senate by the Legislature
of California, as the successor of Mr.. Latham,
it was claimed that be was an opponent of the
Administration, and in his Senatorial course
would act with the opposition. This claim was
based on the ground OF his having previous to
the election been identified with the Demo
cratic party. His Democracy is however,
like that of Butler, Dix and johnson, which
places duty to country above fealty to party.
The following extract from a speech recently
delivered in Savannah, California, shows what
manner of man he is, and to what extent he
will be likely to oppose the Administration in
its efforts TO crush the rebellion:
1--WE have noble President. There is a
President at the head Of the government
TApplause.1 Abraham Lincoln may not be
the greatest man in the United States, but
tell vou fellow citizens, that our country is
blessed of God in having so good and so great
man in the Presidency in this great crisis
TCheers. The cunning villain who, pending
ths struggle, seeks the qualification Of person
al interests alone, may now and then have i'm
posed on that great and good man, but in the
main his measures have been wise, at all times
his conduct has been just. Throughout this
great trial and struggle bis patriotism has been
of the same character and stamp as that of
the great and immortal Washington. Cheersl
| But, say these objectors, the supportes of this
Administration are Abolitionists. Beaure-
gard advises his Southern friends to denomi-
nate the soldiers of the Government Abolition
lists, and craven, dirt eating, false sons of the
North echo and follow the advice. Why, fell
low citizens, if an Abolitionist were the basest
creature that ever heretofore disgraced the
earth, he would yet be perfection compared
with the miserable wretches who set up such
pretenses while their country's life is at stake.
| TApplause.l What is it to be an AboIitionist
1: is that the person, whoever he may be, is in
favor of abolishing something. These men
would not abolish slavery they would not
blot out or abolish slavery, though it stood at
nations throat, taking the nations life. But
they would stand by while their country was
being abolished and being stricken from the
map of the world. Shame upon such Aboli-
ionisls, Cheers Shame upon the Aboli-
tioDists who are in favor of, or who stand quiet
| ly by while the attempt is being made to abol.
! sh country, TO abolish Government so bene-
| fcent, so wise, so grand in the scope of its
great work of giving civil liberty to all the
earth.'
