With regard to the case of Stewart, the
alleged victim never was at Andersonville.
His name could not be found on any of the
prison records, nor any hospital or death
register. The testimony in this matter came
from a witness named Gray, who prevari-
Gated very much, and therefore could not be
believed. ~
He argues in similar manner about the
evidence of Coke, who testified that he had
been robbed, and that Wirz ordered men
bayonetted. Wirz adduces Col. Fannin's
testimony to show that he had nothing to do
with the employment Of dogs. He pro
nOunces the allegation that ftlrloughs were
granted to the soldiers for shooting prison
ers as false. He denies that the prisoners

An Interesting Case.
NEW York, October ls.-An interest
ing case In connection with Mexican mat
ters, and growing out of the Mexican
emigration excitement Of last spring, was
yesterday before Judge Montefth, Of the
Superior Court Of this city. Gen. Ortego
who'll Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
of Mexico, and who, by the expiration of
the term of President Juarez, will become
President next month, arrived in this
country in April last, where he has since
remained, principally in this city. Some
time ago he was arrested and admitted to
bail in the sum of 81, 900, on the ecomplaint
of Col. VIM. H. Allen, who figured in con-
nection with the recruiting and emigration
movement, and who alleges that he was
employed by the General to superintend
the whole matter, and on the promise that
all expenses would be paid. Now, Allen
states that after he had recruited large
number of men for Mexico and incurred
debts amounting to nearly 1000, General
Ortega refuses to cash the bills or to have
anything to do with the recruits. The
aCtioh yesterday was on a motion to show
cause why the order of arrest should not
be vacated. The Generals response to
Aliens allegations is a complete denial

DAILY LEADER.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER I9, 1865.
A General Convention of the Episcopi

A General Convention of the Episcopal
Church again showed its intention of
avoiding all subjects that might displease
the Southern brethren, by ..voting down
some resolutions of Mr.. Binney, in which
the termination of the system of slavery
and other fruits of the late war were set
forth as grounds for pious gratitude. The
debate was quite spirited, DIR. Vinson and
other able men speaking in favor of the
resolutions. According to programme
the thanksgiving service yesterday morn
ing was free from any allusion to "politi-
cal " matters, but in the evening large
meeting was held in the Church of the
Epiphany, at which, among Others Bish-
ops McIlvaine and Bedell were present,
where the reioicings were very patriotic,
as well as reverential.

A Romance i'm Real Life.


Several years since, young married
couple of this city, who shall for the pres
ent at least, be nameless, mutually agreed.
for various reasons, to separate. To ac-
complish this end, the friends of both par
ties experienced great deal of trouble,
and it was apparent to all that the young
couple loved each other tenderly. A short
time after the separation, the young man
quietly left the city, and during the long
years which have elapsed since that time
no one but his family heard from him
The young lady showed her devotion to
her former husband, by remaining single
until q few weeks since, when she was
united in the bonds of wedlock to well
known gentleman doing business iu this
city.
One day last week husband No. re-
turned to Cincinnati, and quietly took
lodgings at a private house, where there
were no other boarders, save newly mar
ried couple. The landlady of the house
desiring to show some attention to her
new boarder, invited him into the parlor,
for the purpose of introducing him to her
guests, who were there awaiting dinner
She approached them, at the same time
saying, "Mr.-allow me to introduce"
Here it ended, and scene ensued which
it would be difficult to portray. On turn
ing round, the lady gave one shrek and
fell to the floor. The landlady and hus-
band No. 2 for moment could not under
stand the situation in which they were
placed, but it is sufficient for us to say,
that the husband and wife, who many
years before had been separated were
again together. A few moments only
were required TO explain this matter, and
to convince husband No. that his fascin-
ating young bride was grass widow
He threatened to leave her, and she rather
encouraged him in his threat. He did so,
and they who were once separated. are
again united, and, we trust, more devoted
" than ever, and so ended what may tru-
" be called romance in real life.-Ci'G-

count of cotton sales is over ST, 900 900, nearly
all of which were proceeds of the cotton
captured in Charleston and Savannah.

The advance which has taken place in the
price of cotton has added materially to the
SUN for which it was sold. Since July the
dispatches of the cotton agency here to the
Department were to the effect that the rates
would almost certainly be higher, and the
Secretary of the Treasury postponed the
sales that were to have been made in August
till September, and afterwards till October.
The result shows a gain of from l5 to 20
cents per pound. The whole of the Savan-
nah, Charleston and Mobile cotton taken by
the Government has been disposed of, and
sales 10 be made hereafter will be of cotton
collected by special agents OF the Treasury

The excursion train left fitusville at noon,

The Committee of Invitations generously

among the inhabitants tas we fled along for

Dalsalle farms, and the line of march was
then taken up on the hills for Pithole, by
way of Plumer. Pitholc was reached at

the Morey Farm Hotel, where they will
spend the night. Every possible prepara-

mirably succeeded, nothing being unfavor-
able but the weather. Tomorrow morning,
