Minister at the Court of Vienna in 1855
was at the White House this morning, il
is supposed, soliciting pardon. The Judg,
is represented as having been prominent
participster in the rebellion.
ANOTHER MISS BARBIs CASE.
The Worlds special says: Another case
Of insane impulse has just occurred here
A young lady, arming herself with 8 pistol
of the same pattern IS that used by Miss
Harris, deliberately shot a soldier who had
become an incOnstsnt lover, severely if not
fatally woun ding him.
MILITARY MATTERS.
It is understood that an order has been
issued returning to their rank in the regular
army all officers who hold commissions in
the volunteer service.
The Herald's Fortress Monroe special
says Adjutsnt General Townsend has been
closeted with General Miles. Theobiect of
the visit has not been made known; prob
ably it was on business connected with his
own department, and nothing more.
JEFFERSON DAVIS.
JEFF Davis Is still in his old quarters !;
appetite good health improving, and evi
IDENTIFY caring very little about his trial.
General Miles, whose sole duties are to
watch and keep him safe, fully and thor
oughly appreciates his responsibilities.
Those who have the feeding of him feed
him we'll. His room is kept clean, and his
daily walks made as eDj yable as circum-
stances permit. He is allowed to sit down
and rest when he chooses, and once in
awhile agreeable conversation ensues.
Since this walk began he has been far more
inclined to be sociAble than ever before.
IMPORTANT ORDER FROM GEN. GRANGER.
The Hsrsld's Galveston correspondence
of the 18th says: Prior to being relieved,
Gen. Granger issued an order requiring all
persons having in their possession public
property of any description whatever, for
merly belonging to the Confederate States
or State of Texas, to deliver it to the proper
United States officer. This order was rem
dered necessary from the fact that the sur
render Of Texas troops, under the arrange
ment between Kirby Smith and General
Candy, was a complete swindle, the troops
having been disbsnded and sent to their
homes retaining their arms, before the COM
sent to confer with Gen. Candy
arrived. The surrender was carried out
in good faith as far as affected the Arksn-
sss and Missouri troops. As natural con-
there are large quantities of pub
lie horses and wagons scattered throughout
the State, which it is the purpose of this
order to collect together. The good effects
Of it are already to some extent apparent.
Affairs at Brownsville and Matamorss
remain unchanged. COrtinss is practically
besieging the latter place with his few
hundred men. Nothing can stir outside
with safety without large escort. He has
for some time threatened an attack on the
place, but no fears of his doing SO are en-
tertained by the inhabitants.
The health of our troops on the Rio
Grande is rapidly improving, and cases of
'curvy snd bone fever $50 cslled) are each
DAY growing fewer, under the excellent
sanitary measures adopted.
