CHARGE OF BIGAMY AND ADULTERY.-Yes-
terday afternoon, officer Hill. of the Fourth
Ward, arrested l.. Eales, charged by his wife,
Fanny, with bIgamy and adultery, and last
evening the case was heard by Justice Walter
at the Fourth Ward station. The complainant
testified that she resided in the Valley of Vir-
GINA, and that the accused left her and eight
children about two years ago, without any
means of support. She had been informed
there that he was living in this city with an
other woman, named Coniton. She did not
know that they were married, but supposed
they were. (pointing 10 a handsome little child
IN the arms of the woman Coniton)
Fales ACKNOWLEDGED that the complainant
was his wife, and stated that he did not desert
his family, but had been forced IN the Confed-
crate army, from which he made his escape
and came 10 this city with the woman he was
living with. He denied that he had married
her, and would not say whether the child was
or was not his, but admitted that he had COM
mitted a wrong by cohabiting with the woman.
He expressed his sorrow for what he had done,
and was willing TO return TO his family, as he
had intended 10 do in a few weeks if the COM
plainant was willing.
The woman Co iton SAID she was not mar
RED that IL had been mutually understood
that the accused should return to his family.
Justice Walter stated that il appeared to be
altogether family matter, that he was 10th to
take any action in the case and advised the
parties TO settle their differences, and acting on
ms advice, they soon came to terms and LEFT
The station, promising to leave the city for home
by tomorrow night

AFFAIRS IN LOUISIANA.

General Fullerton, who was sent by the
President to New Orleans to adjust the diff
culties between the military authorities and
the inhabitants concerning the freedmen,
returned this morning, having successfully
executed his mission. The General reports
that the planters are unable to obtain a sutfi
Gent amount of labor, and would employ
several thousand more freedmen than there
are now in the State. The negroes are gradu-
ally becoming disabuspd of the idea, encour-
aged by mischieyous Northern men, that
they are TO receive lands from the Government,
and are contracting with the planters for the
ensuing year.
Affairs on the Rio Grande excited very little
intert ST in New Orleans, none there antici-
rating any serious results from the recently
reported collisions between our troops and the
French. The citizens of Louisiana are alb
sorbed in repairing the losses sustained during
the war, and take very little interest in pc tIcal
or military movements. Real estates rents, and
all products, are commanding high prices, and
all branches of business have been resumed
with degree of energy unusual in that sec
tinn

SENSATIONAL REPORTS FROM THE RIO

are rather willing to believe that the French
commander had the sense to understand that
no force-great or small-of United States
soldiers were engaged in the demonstration on
The Texas side of the river, and that he knew
the firing on the Antonio TO be the work of ad j.
yenturous bands of Liberals that had managed
to cross TO the neutral side. The incident is
one barely in wiling comment, except in so far
as II may indicate the purpose of a class OF ad-
venturers-many of them fugitive rebels-to
drag us into this Mexican imbroglio. before it
shall have become expedient for the Govern
ment of the United States to depart from its
present attitude OF neutrality. That there are
such adventures at work in considerable
numbers, we presume no one doubts. They
may be Mexican Liberalists, Texas Rangers,
remnants OF the rebel army of Kirby Smith,
with mixture of Northern chevalers of for
