How THE GUNS OF THE "KEoKUK" WERE
RAIsED.-The guns of the famous iron-clad
now lie on South Commercial wharf. They
consist of two long ll-inch columbiads, and
will soon be mounted for our defence, valua-
BILE acquisitions, no less than handsome tro-
phies OF the battle of Charleston harbor. By
order OF Gen. Ripley, Col. Alfred Rhett, on
the 18th, after the departure of the iron-clad
fleet, examined the wreck and reported the
attainment of the guns practicable. Mr.. La
Coste, assisted by adutant Boyleston, and de-
tachments of men from fort Sumter, under
different lieutenants, Lave effected the saving
Oh these fine pieces of ordnanc, with much
trouble Latt rly tho Keokuk has been en-
tlrely submerged, and in rough water. The
turret had to be unbolted, or unscrewed, and
taken OIL before the guns could be slung for
removal This was an unpleasant job of some

were sometimes protected from the enemv by
the presence OF our gunboats at other times

moved by the old light boat. Gen. Rinley

A STRANGE CASE OF MURDER.-A very sim
gular murder case has just been exposed, and
the guilty parties convicted, in Pike county,
Illinois. The murdered man was Andrew j.
Pearson; and first man nsmed Winsor was
tried, but acquitted for the crime; next the
mans own wife and her two daughters by Il
former husband were put on trial. but the ev-
idence failed against them. Then three likely
looking and respectfully connected young men
Thomas and Fielding johnson and John
Hopkins-were arragned, and they confessed
the crime and told the following story "That
on the day of the murder they invited Pear
son to take walk with them; that he made
no objection; that after walking some quarter
of ii mile or so from the house they came to
a ravine-that they then told him they i'll
tended to hang hinF-that he replied he did
not blame them at all, but his wife and step
daughters-that they then placed a rope
around his neck, said rope being six or eight
feet long--that he proposed to bandage his
own eyes, and actually did SO with his own
handkerchief they had tied his hands be-
hind his back-that he made no resistance
that after the rope was thrown over limb,
two of them caught hold of Pearson and lifted
him up, while the other pulled and held on to
the rope till he died, which was some ten to
twenty minutes-that when he was dead they
took him down and took him to gulley, and
after taking his money out OF his pocket,
which was about $50, they tumbled him into
the said gulley and covered him up with
brush, &C., that after they had done all this,
they went back to Pearson's house-that they
then and there told Angelina and Julia Bell
(the step daughters of the murdered MANI
that they had killed Pearson-that the girls
seemed rejoiced-that they gave the pocket
book and money to Angeline-that she gave
each $40 apiece, and burnt up the pocket
book, alleging that the 'old devil might come
back and haunt us if he did not buan it-that
the old woman gave them horse, and, as
they started for Missouri, told them never to
betray her, and to die before doing so-that
the girls asked for and received a lock of their
hair as mementoes, lind that the said girls
kissed each one just before leaving"

Charles II. Grant, otherwise known as
Charles II. Gordon, who heretofore pleaded
guilty of burglary in the first degree, was ar
ragned before the Kings county court OF ses-
sions Tuesday morning for sentence. He
was neatly dressed and presented the same
calm and self-possessed demeanor that he did
when previously brought before the court.
The judge in passing sentence, reminded him
of the numerous burglaries he had committed
and of the power of the court to send him to
state prison for life, but in consequence of his
youth the full term would not be imposed.
He was thereupon sentenced to state prison
for twenty years. In answer to the usual
questions the prisoner stated that he was born
in Scotland, was twenty-five years of age, a
civil engineer by profession, and had been in
state prison before, in Louisiana. The fact
that he was guilty of perpetrating numerous
robberies in New Orleans, previous to his ad-
vent in Brooklyn last winter, is proven by
documents in possession of Inspector Folk,
received from the chief Of police of New Or
leans. The account of his transactions in
that city fill seventeen pages of foolscap. The
extent of his robberies in Brooklyn, as far as
traced by the officers, amounted to between
$4,000 and $4,000. Twelve indictments
were found against him, but he was permitted
to plead guilty to one only.
