ment the witness heard noise at the door,
and saw call-boy at the door answering
the bell, and his wife talking to him from
behind the door. Knowing his wife to be
nervous he ran over to No. 80 and said to
her, cit is |. Open the door " When
the door was opened, her dress was open

So, and turned to go to his room I fol-
lowed him. The wife of the witness caught
him by the coat and told him not to go.
AS the man entered his room he suit the
door and locked it from the inside. The
witness heard the key turn.
The Cincinnati Commercial says that
the Captain has submitted in writing re-
quest that the following witnesses should
be subpenaed for the defence:
Major Generals Burnside, Hooker, Franklin,
and Parker; Brigadier Generals Woodbury.,
Samuel Sturgis, j. d. Cox, Ingalls,, and Hunt

Captain QUITS stated, upon his honor
and conscience, that these witnesses were
material and absolutely necessary for his
defence, and if their presence was not to
be obtained by reason of military duties,
he then asked leave to obtain their sworn
dispositions. The Court ordered that the
witnesses be subpenaed to appear forth
with.
We have heard it suggested that it
would be well to ''stop this " r''-as the
copperheads say-and have at least an ar
mistice until this important trial is conclu-
ded. Why the President, General Meade,
General Rosecrans, General Banks and
General Grant, have not been subpenaed,
we are incapable of conjecturing. Whether
Governor Tod will order the suspension of
the arming of the State until this matter
is disposed of, we can not say, not having
official advices.

Rain and CannOns.

1t is noticed that violent rain storms
follow battles. This has been so during
tne present rebellion; and it has been in
all lands and in all times. To the soldiers
IL may be very fortunate occurrence.
10 Inc wounded left on the field of battle
notflng could be better. 1t affords relief
10 the lntolerable thirst that follows gun
shot wounds; and water is the best dress
ing that such wounds could receive. II
may be benefit also to those not wound
Ell, since it washes the battlefield where
putrefactlon might otherwise take place
and plaques result and it also washes and
Purlhes the air, uburdened with smoke and
dust and the exhalations from the dead.
What is the cause of this rain ? Phil.
osophers are not agreed, though MANY of
late have conceded with Prof. Espy, who
said that the rain was produced by the
shock OF the atmosphere from the explo-
sion OF gunpowder, and he claims that
showers may be had at any time from the
same causes. Possibly this may have
something to do with it, but quite as like
ly it is the process by which nature reno
Yates herself when contaminated, whether
by battles or from any other cause. The
ancients noticed the phenomenon of rain
after battle, when no gunpowder was used.
Thus Plutarch, in his Life of Caius Marius,
notices the same event, at time 1.4OO
years before gunpowder was known in
Europe, and writes: "Thus, the opinion
OF Archilochus is confirmed, that fields are
fattened with blood. 1t is observed, in
deed, that extraordinary rains generally
fall after great battles; whether it be that
some deity chooses to wash and purify the
earth with the water above, or whether
the blood and corruption, by the moist and
heavy vapors they emit, thicken the air,
which is liable to be altered by the small
est cause"

A Singular Career of Crime.

From the Boston Post
In the Police Court yesterday forenoon,
VIM. A. Austin, the young clerk whose
arrest for robbing his employer we men
toned some days since, was held in $15,-
900 for his appearance in the Superior
Court. The prisoner is, about seventeen
years of age. His father is dead, and his
mother, woman of responsibility, resides
in Providence. A year or two since the
boy was arrested for series of robberies
of the Post Office in that city. In conse-
quence of his youth he was put upon pro-
baton and sent to sea. He was placed on
board a ship belonging to merchant in
this city, and went one voyage to China,
behaving in such manner as to cain the
respect OF the master of the vessel. On
his return, the boys health not being very
good, the Captain told the merchant that
he was better calculated for clerk than
seaman. MIR. Henry A. Pierce, No. 6S
Commercial wharf was at that time (some
three months a9o) in want of an Office
boy, and upon recommendation of the
merchant took Austin into his employ. He
behaved so well that Mr.. Pierce within
two weeks voluntarily increased his wages.
and soon began to send him to the bank
to make deposits. 1t appears that the boy,
as soon as he had become acquainted with
the manner OF transacting business, be-
gun to rob his employer. When sent
to the bank with money or checks, he
made fraudulent entries in the bank book
and retained the funds. In one instance
he forged the signature Of Mr. Pierce upon
the back OF check for $4,000 and OBJ
tanned the money for it. Finally he forged
his signature to check for Sl2, 900, and
attempted to dispose of it, but the sum
was so large as to cause an Investigation,
which led to his arrest by detective Heath.
Inc whole amount of money obtained by
Austin was $4,000, nearly every dollar
OF which he squandered in the most reck-
less and foolish manner He has made a
full confession. To one man at one time
he gave 81 900. To another be gave $3.50
to introduce him to a young lady whose
acquaintance he wished to make. When
arrested he had just been out riding with
this young lady, who does not seem to
have known his character lie had paid
some hundreds Of dollars for horse hire,
and had bought horse and buggy, for
which he had given 5000 He bought
peaches by the dozen to distribute among
his friends, paying as high as 81 or So
apiece. A violin was also purchased by
him for $500. In fact he seems to have
fallen into the companionship of persons
who were willing to take his money with
out inquiring how it was obtained. Efforts
will be made to recover for Mr.. Pierce a
portion Of the stolen money, and hopes
are entertained that from 81, 900 to sc, 900
will be secured.

The Late Confederate Successes.
They Recover the Atchafalaya
District.
Correspondence Of the New York World.
New ORLEANS. June 26 y

NEW ctLfcANS, June 70, 1896.
1t required no gift OF prophecy to pre-
dict, as | did in my last, the probable
"gobble" of the Federal forces at Brasil
ear City. Their capture was inevitable,
unless gunboats and transports could be
sent around by the Gulf to Berwick's
Bay in time to take away these men.
The Oonfederates were between Lafourche
(Thibodeaux) and Brashear, and held the
line of the Opelousas railroad. No rein
forcements Or trains could be sent from
here. There was, indeed, no escape
whatever.
To recapitulate little: Saturday and
Sunday there were no skirmishers at La
fourche Crossing, and the Official account
carried you news of the Federal victory.
1t was pompously announced in the Off
cial, the would-be official, and was copied
by the other city papers. There was no
objection whatever to the publication Of
this news. notwithstanding the ominous
silence about Port Hudson. ever since the
assault Of May 81; and only yesterday
the Provost Marshal sent word to the city
papers that they would make no allusion
for the present to military movements in
NSEtli tiIiCIli. NliiCii W say IlO-
thing about the capture of Brashear City,
which the newshoys cried about the streets
yesterday, and the abandonment OF the
LatOurche country by the Federal forces
The ''vict0ry on Sunday at Latourche
crossing was followed by the speedy re-
treat OF the Federal forces to Butte station
Before leaving Lafourche they burned the
railroad bridge at the crossing, and seve-
raj of the returned soldiers say that they
spiked their battery and threw the guns
into the bayou. At Butte station they
proceeded TO entrench themselves, and
their subsequent operations are signifi-
cantIy summed up in the return of the
18th Maine regiment to this city yester-
day, with word that "the rest was COM
ing, aud the return this morning of the
Goth Massachusetts,, sent over as a rein
forcement last Saturday evening. The
Confederates meanwhile tore up mile or
more of the track west Of the crossing,
and between the two forces, Federals and
Confederates, the Opelousa road may be
considered for medium of communica-
ton as dead as the Rochester Fox family.
Until Gen. Banks raises the siege, or
takes Port Hudson, or until he is REIN
forced from Port Royal or elsewhere, the
Lafourche country is in the hands of the
Confederates, and pending the reliefs there
will be no immediate action for the revis-
ion of the State Constitution and the re-
vival of the civil government
CONFEDERATE PURE OF BRAsHEAR CITY.
Last Monday the United States trans
port St. Mary, Capt. Talbot, left this port
and went round via the Gulf, to communi-
cate with Berwick's Bay. Tuesday eve
ming while running up the bay, she met

old Reliance) twenty-five miles from Bra
shear city. The St. Mary took on board

1t is well to commence feeding roots in
this State about the first of October, and
commence feeding grain about the last Of
October. 1t is a very bad plan to let
sheep get poor in the fall. 1t will cost
much more to winter flock of sheep that
are lean in flesh on the first of January,
than it will to winter flock that are then
in good condition. If my sheep are poor
in any part of the year, | want them to
be so in the spring. Generally give them
good show until the grass gets start in
the spring, and then turn them out and
let them take their chances. Sheep should
be sailed regularly semi-weekly in the
spring, summer and fall months, and once
week in the winter. In answer to a
number of inquiries where to obtain pure
bred sheep of the different breeds, l men
ton the following names:
For Spanish Merino sheep, I would rec
Ommend the flock of George Campbell,
Westminster, West Vermont; South
downs, John Wentworth, of Chicago;
Cotswold sheep, F. W. Stone, of Canada;
Leicesters, John Smell, Edminton P. O.,
near Toronto, G.. w.
The black-faced sheep are a mountain
breed, natives of Scotland. There are
none in the United States that know of
at this time. G. W. Brodie, of . Canada,
has them. G. B. Week, Canandaigua, N.
Y, did have, and perhaps has now, the
Hampshire Down, Sussex and Shrop-
shires.
Our sheep in Traverse are generally on
ly ordinary ones The fiocks shear usu-
ally from four to five lbs. of wool. One
little flock of eighty-five shear over five
pounds per head on an average; seventy
two of the same flock average five and
halt pounds, and forty-four of the best of
the eighty-five averaged six pounds and
five ounces of well washed wool. Some
of those are good sheep.

&iaail we Have Peace.

In the darkest hour OF our early reyo-
lutionary history, when timid men shrunk
back and even the brave hesitated at the
prospect of a desperate and unequal con-
test with the mother country, an al
most unknown man rose in the House of
Delegates of Virginia and spoke these
words:
1t is vain, sir, to extenuate the mat
ter. Gentlemen may cry peace, peace,
but there is no peace. The war is actu-
ally begun. *
There is no longer room for hope. If
we wish to be free,-if we mean to pre-
serve inviolate those inestimable privileges
for which we have been so long contend
ing,-if we mean not basely to abandon
the noble struggle in which we have been
so long engaged, and which we have
pledged ourselves never to abandon, until
the glorious object of our contest shall be
maintained,-we must fight! lrepeat 1t,
Sir, We must Fight"
These bold utterances rung through the
land like the voice of trumpet, stirring
the hearts of the people, rousing them to
just comprehension of the danger, and
inspiring them with that calm courage and
high resolve which in the end gave the
thirteen colonies their independence and
a place among the nations of the earth.
The fiery sentences of Patrick Henry have
become classic; they are as familiar to us
as household words, and yet to-day they
sound in our ears with new and startling
significance We pity that man so blind
ed by party or by prejudice who can read
the telegraphic column at a time like this
and not echo the words of the great Vir.

ted uncommon prudence and judgment,
and after the removal of Mcclellan was
considered, by the ulcers and men who
knew him, to be the best General of that
army.
AS soldier, he held it to be his duty
to obey orders without murmuring, and
he was never heard to express an opinion
as to the removal of Mcclellan, though he
was known to be exceedingly friendly to
that General.
1t was his habit to expose himself at all
times with the greatest daring, and to
those who knew him, it is only astonishing
that he remained unscathed SO long.

operations during the siege Of Vcksburg.
has been received by Secretary Welles.

killed or wounded. While the army had
trouble from the enemy in front and be-
