J. NJ. Strong Esq, held an inquest in the

ing assembled, the dog absented himself for
a short time, accompanied the officer who was
engaged in calling the Jury together. The
body was taken from the water and laid on
the ground. Night came on before the pan
mel was completed, and in the meantime the
dog returned to the spot where his master s
body lay, and in the course Of a few minutes
completely covered it up by scratching to-
gether dead leaves and earth and pilng them
upon his dead master. The object of the
faithful animal probably was to conceal the
body from injury and from the view of the

The Times Washington dispatch has the
following
Colonel Ludlow has just returned from
City Point on a dispatch boat and reports
that conference with Mr.. Ould the Confed-
crate Commissioner for the exchange Of pris-
oners has resulted in an important arrange
ment by which about 20, 1000 union men pre-
viously paroled are restored to active service.
Col. Ludlow also says that he has every
reason to believe that the rebel Government
will violate the previous agreement, and act
ing on the Proclamation of jeff Davis, form
ally refuse during the week, to make future
exchanges Of our commissioned officers.
He returns to-morrtw in n dispatch boat
and will visit City Point again on Tuesday.
Desertions Of late have become so numerous
that the Secretary has determined to adopt
most stringent measures to secure the return
of delinquent. He has become convinced
that the system adopted some time ago is on
tirely inadequate and has decided to remove
Mr.. Draper, and to place the business in the
hands OF Gen. W DOL, with full power for It's
execution.
The Herald's Washington dispatch says
the finding Of the Court in the case of Gen.

1t is unanimously conceded that Gen. Porter
is fully exonerated from the blame imputed
in the charge preferred by Gen. Pope. The

leave to resume their positions in the field.
The Herald's Washington dispatch says a
great deal Of indignation has been elected by
the intelligence Of the surrender Of Galveston
and its garrison, and the capture by the reb-
els Of the Harriet Lane. Various rumors are
in circulation in regard to this transaction.
but nothing is positively Known to the gov
eminent except through the Richmond papers
Of yesterday, which published the official re-
port Of the rebel commander at Galveston
II j, believed here that the scheme TO cut out
the Harriet Lane and the West6eld was de-
vised at Richmond, in imitation Of like ex.
PLOTS against the British vessels in our early
history. IL is supposed that the officers and
crews sent from Richmond were ready and
that tho Harriet Lane is already after our
cruisers in the gulf. She is swift and strong
ly built.
special Washington dispatch says that
apprehensions are felt at the Navy Depart
ment for the safety of two regiments Of in
lantry sent from New Orleans to Galveston.
Texas, on Commodore Farraguts request,
only two day before the surprise of the West
field and Harriet Lane. 1t is altogether
probably that these troops will go right into
the trap that is opened for them.
Special dispatches from Washington state
that the rebels are liberal in their offers to
the West Of free trade and freedom from
taxation il she will join the South.

were on their way to join the Harriet Lane
AS the latter was captured on the LIST inst,
by the rebels, these officers are ofcourse safe
A prominent Senator told the President, a
few days since, that General Butler had

made.
very mournful catastrophe occurred at

pleasure party of thirty-seven ladies and gem
tlemen were skating on pond in that vicin

of them were drowned.
The Supreme Court of Wisconsin has de-
cded to sustain the writ of habeas corpus in
behalf of the Ozankee rioters, arrested for
resisting the draft. Thus denying the right
of the President to suspend the writ in such
cases.
A meeting was held in Beaufort on the 9th

Dear Journal Conscious Of a duty owe

reach of the ever greedy, ever-watohing news
paper correspondents.
First Of all, the arrival home Of Massachu-
sets honored son-Maj. Gen Benz. F. But

ing-house and hotel conversation. He reach
ed his home in Lowell last evening, escaping,
by hairs breath, perhaps serious injury by
a railway collision. lie visits Boston soon.
and 1t is presumed will meet with reception
worthy Of his and our city's fame.
After long absence from the city, find.
of course, great change, which mind, for the
purpose trained, quickly notices and would
comment upon. The new City Hall is the
first to attract notice. 1t will undoubtedly be
fine one, but, like something recently
building in your own village, curiously out of
place.
A visit D the formerly thronged and busy
wharyes will scarce repay the time spent -
The places once filled by those noble steam
ers plying between this and various southern
ports are vacant, and the vessels themselves
engaged in honorable service for the govern
ment, As a consequence. the wharves are
comparatively deserted, and the consequent
glowing aspect extends through all business
connection.
The press Of the city continue to live and
ght-fgureatively speaking. Of course.
Legislature is in session, and, TO follow up
the tone of its former history, will continue
for a long time. The address Of Gov. Andrew
is debatable document, and will be thorough
ly "chawed up by the State papers
Amusements are plenty and successful,
Barnum, the Museum, the Howard. and the
Minstrels ioulisbing wonderfully.
Don't ! beg of you, say this is too dry, but
have patience till ! get my hand in, and
then prepare for big things
