which was ordered by the Haytien govern
ment, and is to be placed in the senate cham
Dor The subject is "John Brown crowned

dressed in the costume of the period of Louis
XVI, and on the left a mulatto, with dark face
but purely Caucasian features. He is dressed
in the full uniform of Hayten general The
two hold Il laurel wreath, which they are
about placing upon the head of the hero of
Harpers' Ferry. In the back ground are

ing through clouds above, is face, intended
to represent the face of the divine Father,
looking approyingly upon the apotheosis
The design of the picture was forwarded to

ARREST OF SECEsn WOMEN IN BALTIMORE.
The mother of Gen. Winder, provost marshal
of Richmond, was arrested by the military
authorities in Baltimore, on Saturday last, on
charge Of corresponding with persons in the
south, and for other offences of grave char
ter. Several letters of disloyal character
were i'll her trunks. She is over eighty years
OF age, and will be sent south at once.
Mrs. Semmes and daughter, aunt and cous-
III OF the infamous Capt. Semmes, of the pr
rate ALBANIA, were arrested in Baltimore, Sun
day, charged with having attempted to poison
federal soldiers IN the western hospital in that
city. The circumstances of the case are
stated to be that a few days since they sent
several bottles of wine to the hospital, and Il
portion Of it was given to number of the
patients, all of whom were afterwards seized
with violent and alarming symptoms of poison
A subsequent chemical analysis of what was
left OF the wine established the fact that arse
mic, in large quantities, had been placed in the
bottles. They are held for examination by
the military authorities. No deaths have as
yet resulted from the wholesale attempt at
destruction of life.

LAMESTABLE ACCIDENT AT GETrYsBURG.-
Mr.. Briggs of Philadelphia, while wandering
over the battle field at Gettysburg, few days
after the celebration, picked up a relic, an un-
exploded 20-pound shell, and taking it to bis
lodgings he removed the cap, and then tapped
the end Of the she'll lightly against stone in
the yard for the purpose of shaking the pow
der out, when it exploded with Il terrific re-
port, cutting both OF Mr.. Briggs arms off just
below the elbows, and literally tearing to
pieces little boy nine years of age, who was
standing few feet distant, and who, when
the shell exploded was in the act of caution
ing Mr.. Briggs against the careless handling
of the shell. Another boy. standing in the
vicinity, was thrown clear across the street, a
distance Of forty feet but strange to say, suf-
tered no other injury than slight bruse. AS
if to add to the sadness and seeming fatality
of the occurrence, the dead body OF Mr. B. s
son. which had been exhumed for reburial,
was lying near BY in coffin i'll the yard when
the accident Occurred.

TELLER DETECTED IN THE ROBBERY OF
A BANK.-In the Union Bank OF New York
city there was, until few days ago, clerk
of somewhat prepossessing appearance and
manners. He had long been in the service of
the bank, and was adjudged to be above sus-
picion. One day the last week a package of
$50, 900 was missed from its proper place, and
after diligent search no trace of it could be
discovered, In this emergency the services
of Mr.. Hays, the experienced bank detective,
were called into requisition. This gentleman
after taking the points" OF the case, pro-
ceeded to 'work" them up. Such are his
facilities for obtaining information, that in
very few hours, he returned to the bank with
the positive evidence of the guilt of the OF
fender. The clerk summoned into the
presence of the bank officers, when Mr.. Hays
charged him with being the criminal.
The offenders Indignation knew no bounds,
and he even threatened the detective with vi
olence, but was advised to calm himself. He
was then told that the evidence was clear
against him, but that if he made restitution
the matter would be kept quiet. A few nlo-
mentS consideration convinced him the advice
was good. He agreed to accompany that Off
Ger to the hiding place Of his stolen treasure,
and Mr.. Hays soon returned with the money;
that portion which had been expended, having
been refunded by the clerks bondsmen. The
papers now state that there is a vacancy in
that bank, and the fast clerk goes forth into
the world with a ruined reputation, the conse-
quence of the fast rate at which he lived.

A large and powerful iron-clad steamer,
named the 'Passaconaway," is to be built at
the Portsmouth navy yard Immediately.
The first cotton mill in New Hampshire
was built in New Ipswich, on the Souhegan,
in 1904. The second was built ON the same
stream in 1908, and by an act of the legisla-
ture they were exempted from taxation for
five years.
On the 18th inst, an old gentleman named
Ira Gay, in returning home through the streets
of Keene, stumbled head downward into post
hole. Unable to eXtrcata himself, he was not
discovered until daylight, when he was quite
dead.

From the tone Of the following extract Of an
editorial, entitled 1.-THE Conflict of Ages" in
the last New York Independent, we should
judge that the editor (Mr. Beecher) was already
disappointed in the working of the cmancipa-
tlon proclamation. Mr.. Beecher belongs to
that peculiar school of radicals who should be
the lasi, not the first, to pronounce the procia.
nation a failure, even II they thought II to be
so. But we do not believe that 1t has entered
upon lts trial yet. "Rome was not built In a
day" Here is the extract:
As ii becomes at lsiigh apparent that the
ship of State is launched upon a difficult vOy-
age, and can find her haven only through
storms and perils, a very natural feeling of dis
appointment arises In the public mind, and
even among those who have a real Interest and
confidence In the principles which govern our
national course. AT first we hoped TO see slav-
cry baffied and defeated under the peaceful
forms of legislation; when that hope was de.
stroyed by the outbursts of rebellion, we looked
TO see the system speedily overthrow by the
mere fortune, nay, by the very fact, of war;
his failing, iCs trusted that tie proclamation,

The Charleston Nsws--How IL was OBJ
tanned,

tanned.
There Is something mysterious In the history
Of the late sensation news from Charleston.
First, 1t was published In Richmond on the cd
inst. in the Dispatch exclusively, We learn
that two copies only were allowed to be brought
by flag Of truce on Monday across the Kappa
hammock. One copy, report says, was sent by
the officer who bore the flag Of truce to his
wife-the other copy he gave to the special cor
respondent ola New York newspaper, instead
Of sending 1t to the Government.
The correspondent who received 1t handed II
TO hls assistant, who started for this city and
reached here about three O'Clock Tuesday af-
tenoon. The enterprislng correspondent i'm
mediately distracted from the newspaper 30
much of It's contents as related to the rebel
attack upon our feet before Charleston. The
Government censor, acting upon what is nm
derstood to be a general order-viz TO permit
all quotations to be sent-allowed the dispatch
to go over the wires 10 New York.
He did not announce to the Government the
| fact that such news had passed over the wires,
supposing that no officer bearing a flag Of truce
would permit such information to fall into the
hands of a newspaper correspondent instead Of
furnishing 1t first TO his Government. Conse-
quently the Government was net aware that
such information existed until Wednesday
morning, when the announcement was made
by telegraph from New York.
While this Is pralseworthy newspaper en-
terprlse on the part Of the correspondents, 1t
was undoubtedly an ingeniously arranged pro-
gramme at Richmond by which the European
market should be supplied with bogus news for
commercial and political effect
what Seems singular, in connection with
this sensation news, is the fact that the Rich,
mond Wing, Of the Sd inst, which lies before
US, published the day qtisr the Dispatch an.
nouuced the raising of the blockade) contains
no article or reference whatever to the subject.
1t does seem that, If the blockade had been
raised by the rebels, or there had been any con.
siderable demonstration at Charleston, IL would
have been, on the day following Its occurrence,
q subject worthy at least of single paragraph
These are the facts. 1t is for the Govern,
ment to ascertain who the operators are who
may coin money here, or in Europe, ont of this
operation, or whether there is any sufficient
| Justification for such a remarkable transaction
which may cost us blood and treasure.

A better Voice IRON New Jersey,

The patriotic public have been naturally dis
gusted with the factious spirit manifested by
the peace % Democrats in the New Jersey
Legislature. A portion Of them seem to have
imblbed the notion that their mission is to EN-
barrass the General Government, and aid the
rebels. The resolutions recently introduced by
Mr.. Randolph are as Questionable as the man
Ifestoes Of the Richmond newspapers, and were
calculated to make people outside Of New Jer-
sey think that patriotism lie dead In that State.
Those who know how readily and nobly the
yeomeu Of New Jersey have responded to the
country's call, and how bravely they have met
the traitors in the field, will be gratlhed to no.
tice that the right spirit yet abides In the hearts
Of at least some Democrats In that Legislature
The following dispatch explains itself:
TRENTON, Feb. 5.-Mr. scoyal, War Demo
crat, Of Camden, presented the following reso
lutions in the House to-day:
Resolved, That citizens Of the United States
In the State Of New Jersey, believing ii TO be
the duty OF every good citizen to sacrifice ease
estate, applause, or life itself, to the sacred
cause OF our country, now declare their unal,
terable determination TO sustain the Govern
mCnt in its efforts to maintain the honor, in.
tegrity, and existence of our national Union.
Resolved, That no diversity of political opin,
ion, no badgp Of diversity upon points of party
distinction, shall restrain or withhold us in
devotion of all we have, or can command. "a
the ylndlcatlon OF our Government, the main.
tenance OF Its laws, and the defence OF the flag
Of our country.
The resolutions were referred to the Com
mittee on Federal Relations.

to show that members of Congress need not

through any fear Of mourning the dlspleasure
Of the country banks. Their officers are fully
alive to their own interests, and when this
plan is thoroughly understood by them, they
will be the first to adopt 1t. For myself, !
