CAIEo, May 5.
About a week ago Dr. Benson, druggist,
at Tamaroa, Perry county, Illinois, was
cheering for jeff. Davis and the rebel
contederacy. a young man, a soldier at
home on turlough, reproved the copper
head Benson for his reasonable utterances.
The latter took the reproof personally and
resented it, swearing he would shout for
jeff. Davis wherever and whenever he
liked. The soldier told him in such case
he had better leave for the South, Yes
terday Benson and the soldier, member
of the 9th Illinois cavalry met. Benson
attempted to draw pistol, when it went
off, inflicting a wound upon the owner.
The cavalry man, with a companion,
thereupon stepped off a few PAGES aud
commenced firing upon Benson. The lat
ter was hit four times, and it was thought
mortally wounded. He was alive to-day,
bat it was supposed that he could not
long survive

Letter From General Stanlcy--The
Rebel Gen. Forrest IL Cold BLOOD
ed Murderer.

Correspondence of the Cincinnati Commercial
HEADo'Rs 1sr DIVISION, 4TH ARMY CoRps,)
DEPARTMENT OF THE CUMBERLAND.
BLUE SPRINGS, Tenn, April II, 1861.
Eds. CON-: The late butchery at Fort Pillow
by Forrest, seems to have filled the community
with indignation and surprise. To those in
the front of our armies who know Forrest,
there is nothing at all astonishing in his con-
duct at Fort Pillow. l know that this very
much respected Confederate hero has, upon a
former occasion, cOndeScended to become his
own eXecutiOner. To show the style of man
jeff Davis and the Cincinnati Enquirer delight
to honor, will relate the following which was
stated to me last summer by Il rebel citizen OF
Middle Tennessee a man CT high standing in
his community, who had it from his nephew,
an officer serving under Forrest.
About the middle. Of the summer of 1862.
Forrest surprised the post of Murfreesbro,
commended by Brigadier General I. T. Crit,
tenden, of Indiana. The garrison was COM
posed mostly of the Ninth Michigan and Third
Minnesota infantry and the Seventh Penn
sylvania cavalry. After some little fighting, the
troops were surrendered. A mulattO man,
who was servant of one of the officers of
the Union forces, was brought to Forrest on
horseback. The latter inquired of him, with
many Oaths, ''what he was doing there" The
mulatto answered that he was free man, and
came out as 8. servant to an officer-naming
the officer Forrest, who was on horseback,
deliberately put his hand to his holster, drew
the pistol, and blew the mans brains out.
The rebel officer stated that the mulattO man
came from Pennsylvania, and the same officer
denounced the act rs one of cOld-blOOded muir
der, and declared he would never again serve
under Forrest. This murdered man was not q
soldier, and indeed, the occurrence took place
before the United States Government deter
mined to arm negroes. OF the truth of this
there is not the shadow of doubt, and it can
be established any day by living witnesses.
Your Obedient servant

MURDER ON SHIPBoARD-A BLOODY DEED
This afternoon, between II and / o'clock, u light
occurred on board the ship La6y Easily Pcale,
which arrived at this port last night from Lon
dondery. The vessel brought a number Of emf
grants, and turned in at one of the wharyes above
Race street.
During last night and this morning her pas
sengers were leaving and taking with them their
effects. The crew OF the ship went on shore and
returned very much intoxicated. About noon
they complained that the steward would not give
thSm anything TO eat, and finally began to light
among themselves
A general row ensued on deck, during which
the boatswain, whose name is NcMaster of
Belfast, was stabbed in the neck with q large
sheath-knife. The iugular wien was cut, and
McMaster bled to death in a few moments the
deck of the vessel being deluged with the clotted
blood. Another of the crew, numed Francis
MckeeVer, is alleged to have inflicted the wound.
The latter was also stabbed in the thigh, and
badly beaten. He was taken to the hospital in
an apparently dying condition. The whole of the
bloody deed occurred in the presence Of fifty or
sixty passengers, and for cruel bRtchery and
brutality has not its equal. Lieutenant Bowers,
of the Sixth Ward police, was soon on hand, and
took charge of The vessel, arrestng come eight or
ten OF the crew, who will be held to await the
CoIoner's investigation.

PENNsYLvANIA LEGIsLATURE.
HABRlsBURG, August Is

SENATE.--The Senate met az 10 o'clock.
The bill for the organization. Of fifteen rcgi-
| ments was taken up In Committee Of the Whole.
Mr.. Lowry submitted q substitute for the
entire bill, very similar to the House bill, and
made some remarks.
He said this substitute had been prepared by
tho Governor, Attorney General, and Generals
Russell and Franklin. II was measure which
they desired passed.
The Legislature of last winter had been
severely Censured for the incomplete law which
they had enacted, when in truth that very law
had fcen sanctioned by the military authorities,
who were responsible for defeats under these cir
CumstanCes.
lie was willing to take the present substitute
exactly as offered by the military authorities of
the State, and throw any responsibility OF another
failure, or give credit otsuccess, exactly where it
belonged
The House and Senate Committees Of last
winter had prepared much better bill than had
recently been passed, but it had been cut up by
the military authorities, TO whom il had been
submitted.
Mr.. Perry raised several points Of objection 10
the bill and the substitute. Among these were
two, viz That the line OF distinction between
hitCen regiments and the balance of the militia
was not we'll defined, and that system Of allowing
partial drait in certain portions of the Com
monwealth, Mt the discretion Of the Governor, to
establish permanent corps for three years, was
improper.
1t was we'll enough for men from certain locali-
favored The plan Of raising one company from
each militia regiment in the State of men exempt
from the national daft.
The discussion of the Militia bill was con-
tinued until the adjournment.
HoUsE.-Ihe House met ut 10 A. NJ. The
Democratic members who had voted against the
Militia bill and those who had voted iu favor of
MS passage, entered their reasons on the journal.
These reasons were numerous and lengthy.
The principal points OF objection to the bill
which they embodied were as follows THAT the
companies were not allowed TO elect their own
officers; that troops could be drafted out of the
state into the national service, and THAI the seizure
of private property was allowed.
An act for the relief of the citizens of Cham
hersburg was considered as it came from the
Committee of the Whole yesterday. I5 appr0-
PIRATES 100000, to be distributed by Com
missioners.
Mr.. Sharp moved to amend by appropria,ing
one million dollars.
Mr.. Sharp delivered a lengthy and forcbe
speech on behalf of his constituents urging the
appropriation of one million dollars as eminently
just, and as being no more than is absolutely
needed.

STATISTICS or LUCIFER MArcHEs.-At lec-
tme recently delivered by DR.. Proctor of York,
before the York Institute, the lecturer gave the
following useful information about luclfer
matches :-Messrs. Dixon, Newton & Heath h ave
a stock Of timber Of the value generally Of from
CSO00 to 10000. They produce yearly g 100.
100000 matches. Reckoning the length of each
match at p inches, they would exceed the cir
cumfercnce Of the globe. 1t is estimated that
1900 TO $4,000 gross Of boxes Of matches are
produced weekly in London alone. The yearly
consumption OF phosphorus in this country for
the manufacture of matches is estimated at six
tons, which, at Is. Cd. per b., represents
El6S0. Our daily consumption Of matches
is considered to be 250,000,000, or more than
eight matches q day for every individual IN the
Kingdom But the great seat OF matchmaking
Is in Austria For example, NJ. POak, at
Vienna, and NJ. furth, in Bohemia. consume
together about twenty tons of phosphorus annu-
ally, and employ about 5000 persons. This
quantity of phosphorus is sufficient stO produce
the amazing number Of Al 800 coo 900 matches
The cost at which boxes and matches are made
is equally startling. Nj. Furth sells his cheapest
boxes at Id. per dozen, each box containing
eighty matches. Harrop, a PTussian, sells his
plain boxes at Cd. per 100, and 400 splints for
ID; and De AIajo, of MoraVia, sells a case of
my boxes, each containing 100 lucifers, for al.
