treal Evening Telegraph of Thursday
says
"The money given up by Captain La
mothe on the order OF the st. Albans
raiders, did not pass into the possession
of the latter. 1t was, by the terms of
their enlistment, the property of the
Confederate Government, and was paid
over to their representative. The raid
ers received only their pay, according to
their several ranks, and their travelling
expenses and Communication for rstions.
Should 1t be decided by a competent tri-
bunal that the Chief of Police had no
right to make the disposition he did Of
the funds In his custody, they will be
forthcoming, to follow the issue of the
judgment"
The Montreal Witness of Friday last
says: Ea

1t is difficult to express, that the Cana
dian Government is, in the most prompt
and vigorous manner, trying to remedy
the intOlerable mistake, If not worse, of

the raiders. A telegram arrived from
the Attorney General t0get the Water

tThere is q current street rumor of a

with small load Of wood, for which he
modestly demanded $12. The fair offers
of several of our citizens, the appeals Of
shivering widows and orphans were
alike rejected. Though the unfeeling
man was not susceptible of pity, he was
not insensible to cold, and we learn that
he sat upon his wood until he became
chilled, caught violent cold, and has
since died.

A new Expedition.


ST. LoUIs, March 14.-Vlckaburg advloes OF
the Cd say that all the boats at that place have
been pressed into the Government service. II
is reported that movement win be made, via
the Red, Black and 0uachita rivera, to Mon
roc, and thence 10 Shreveport. General steele
will cooperate from Little Rock.
"A late letter from Vlcksburg states that
for the present." This statement is important
In connection with the foregoing.l s..
49, sHKRMkE'B ExPEpITIoH.
From various correspondence we learn some
accurate particulars of the expedition Just re-
turned to Vlclbburg. It consisted Of the Six
teenth and Seventeenth Army Corps, under
Gems. Hurlburt and Mcpherson. Il contained
pieces OF artillery, with q train OF 500 wagons.
The expedition left Ylcksburg on the 3D. Of
February with twenty days. ratlons. The men
knew nothing of the object Of the expedition.
The report that II was opposed at Chunkey
river is, OF course, untrue, Meridian, which
was reached on the 10th Of February, Is 150
miles from Vieksburg and $50 miles fDm Mo-
bile. From thenco the Sixteenth Army Corps
was ordered TO destroy the railroad north and
east. and the Seventeenth Army Corps west
and south. rI.. 49,. ...
Among the prisoners captured Is Gen. Davis,
Of Hillsboro, Miss. Il Ia worthy Of notice that
the chiyalry made all their stands directly in
front of houses occupied by defenceless women
and children, shooting from behind fences, out
buildings, and such places. Near Canton a
woman was killed while standing at her win.
dow watching the skirmishers, Several guer-
rilas were concealed In the garden among the
bushes surrounding her house, shooting at our
advancing skirmishers. A stray shot acciden-
tally hit her, killing her almost instantly. As
soon as our officers learned the sad occurrence
they had the body decently inferred, and left a
months provisions for the family, besides over
Sl00 In Treasury notes for the relief Of the fam
kees get whipped" and she refused to seek n
place OF safety. What adds TO this melancholy
affair 10 the pitiful condition In which the chill
dren are left. The father had been conscripted
into the rebel army, and only few weeks
since the mother received intelligence Of the
death Of her husband.
