is received here.
On the 18th at Dee. General Dios attacked
Orizaba, occupied by the French and Mexican
traitors, aud captured the city and garrison by

MURDER IN CoNyEcTIcUr.-1he Hart
ford Courant says that the body Of Henry Cad
well, a recruit agent in New Britain, was
found brutally murdered Monday morning,
about half a mile east of the village. His skull
was knocked ina large hole being made in
one side OF his head--and there were other
marksiof the brutality of thesoutrage. 1t is sup
posed he was murdered Saturday night. He
had eight hundred dollars in cash with him Of
which he was robbed but a gold watch and
pin were left ON his person. Prints in the
snow showed there had been a scufie, and
that two men made the attak. 1t was also
evident from the tracks that the murdered
man had broken away from his assailants aft
er the first attack, and had run some distance
when he was overhauled and overpowered.
The authorities are at work to discover the
guilty parties.

New YORK, Jan. 90.
The steamer Morning Star, from New Or
leans 18th, via Havana 18th, arrived last night.
She was detained three days by Gen. Banks
to carry dispatches, and sixteen hours at the
mouth of the Mississippi by fog.
Blockade running schooners Isabel and I'm
ion had arrived at Havana with cotton The
latter was chased To Havana by the gunboat
De Soto. Reports a. Havana said the steam
er Harriet Lane was expected from Galveston,
Texas, with cotton.
The propeller Boston, captured at the mouth
of the Mississippi and taken to Mobile several
/ months ago, had been made into gunboat by
adding fifty feet to her length. She would
soon be ready to run the blockade and make
an attempt TO capture some of the New Or
leans mail steamships.
Gen. Banks had issued proclamation for a
State election for Governor, DC, of Louisiana
on the 23d of February.
The weather at New Orleans was colder
than for many years before, and very wet
The occupation Of Indianola, unopposed, by
Gen. Warren, is confirmed. The town of
Madisonville, la. on the north side of Lake
Ponchartrain, has been captured without re-
sistance, and garrisoned by our forces. The
expedition consisted OF a portion of the 18th
Maine and the Connecticut 9th, two battalions
of conyalescents of the 18th Corps, the 10Th
Massachusetts battery, a battery of the j.. S.
artillery, and company of the I'd Louisiana
cavalry, all under command OF Col. kimball,
OF the 18th Maine.
Cotton advanced one-half cent on receipt of
the news per Creole from New York. Sugar
one-fourth of a cent higher on all gaades. and
moiasses one cent higher for prime to choice,
lower grades remaining unchanged.
In his order for the State election, General
Banks says he is fully assured that more than
tenth of the population desire the earliest
possible restoration of Louisiana TO the Union.
He declares so much of the constitution and
laws of the State as recognize, regulate and
relate to slavery, being inconsistent with the
present condition of public affairs, and plainly
inapplicable to any class of persons now ex-
isting within its limits, as imperative and
void. The General also appoints convention
for revision of the constitution, to be held
on the first Monday of May next Arrange
ments will be made for an early election of
members to Congress.

be the order Of business - result, the mis-
cheyous ones say, of the unexa implied advan-
tages which the city has enjoyed, growing out
of The military operations of the State and ma
tional governments.
On the beautiful plateau back from the river
no marked changes appear, with few excep-
tions. One of these is the transformation
and TRANSPORTATION of the old Jail building, on
State street, opposite the Custom House,
which has been purchased by All Staples, Esq,
aud is being remodelled and yamped over in
TO a beautiful Westinghouse of somewhat
unique but pleasing appearance. Mr.. Staples
is one of the ''solid men" of Augusta, who
has become solidi6ed through the fortunes
and necessities Of the war. He has had much
to do in providing for regiments camped here,
especially in the early days of the war,
and some OF his property. not before rerg pro-
dnctiye. has been made to yield princely in

"a wooden building of no great pretension
and cheap of structure-probably not worth
over $500. perhaps lot and all s3000-and
this for long time has been hired by Govern
ment for hospital purposes at ten dollars q
dan. making the comfortable result of about
$4,000 per year. In your city, If l mistake
not. the Government has a noble brick ediilce,
built expressly for hospital purposes, with
steam warming apparatus throughout, and all
needfal conveniences, for 800 per annum-an
establishment costing and actually worth as
much as several like the one referred to here.
/ only refer to the two cases to show how, in
one item at least, the economy of qnartering
the troops here is demonstrated.
am clad to see that the Kennebec Jour
nal is severe upon those unprincipled shar-
pers who take advantage of the soldiers igno-
rance and necessity in the city, and calls for
vigilant measures TO ferret out and punish all
such cases.
Mr. Flint, the new Secretary Of State, has
been indicted into Office, and is likely to be a
great iayoIite with those who make his ac-
quaintance. He is a gentleman of culture, q
working man, who will infusc yigor into his
department, and who is determined to insti-
/ tute system of rigid economy Customs
having the sanction OF long years of looseness
but without shadow oflega authority upon

pains will be spared to conduct the affairs OF

compelled to observe in the conduct of his
