The Shreveport News. Of the 94th
reports cotton still arriving very freely.
The Baton Rouge Gazette, Of the 3lst
has the following:
We take pleasure in noticing the re
turn of General Joseph Bernard and his
son. who reached here on Saturday from
Polk county, Texas, where for some time
past they have been engaged in their ac-
customed vocation of planting. They
came overland. and brought with them
a number Of mules and OK teams, togeth-
er with the most Of their hands. who were
unwilling to be left behind. but anxious
to get back TO the old homestead in this
parish.
We regret to hear that Gen. Bernard
has been quite i'll. since his return. His
son. whom we met on Sunday, is looking
in fine health.
The Baton Rouge Advocate, of the
30th ult., says:
We notice many small caravans from
the back country, accompanied by dogs.
sheep, horses, cattle, and no end of little
ones. crossing the river river at this point.
westward bound. They are hunting
better country than this TO live in. but
from all accounts Texas is not that better
land by long odds.

A FORTY-THIEvEs SENSATION.
A Strange Story About Cavernous
Graveyards and Burrowiug Burg
lars.

The New York World has a dispatch
from Nashville, dated Goth, which gives.
the following startling information
A startling discovery has been made
in this city within the last few days. A
large number of thieves have been de.
predating around the city for some time
past, and all efforts to catch them have
been unavailing until lately. Ii has been
ascertained that there are FIVE different
caves under the city, which are occupied
by thieves, burglars and counterfeiters.
The McNaly vault, in the graveyard, has
been put under guard. and men set 10
work TO effect an entrance into the cave,
AS fast as the earth is removed, fresh
earth is thrown up from the inside Of the
vault. This is the same cave that MUIR.
rell and his gang occupied when engag-
ed in running off negroes and horses.
The affair has been kept secret. but leak
ed out in spite of the military.
A year ago. it was reported that the
McNary tomb was used as a place to
store plunder and it is commonly report
ed that lake, covering FIVE acres and
very deep. is directly under the city.
One man swears to having thoroughly
explored the entire cavern from one end
to the other. A guard has been station.
ed over the Ackten and Harden tombs.
The locksmilh gives bis opinion that the
lock on the McNary tomb has been used
recently. The entrance to the cavern is
at the foot Of Summer street. The mill.
tary are determined to find out the
outlet Of the cave. The entrance looks
like a 6ssure in the rock.
The discovery originated from the fact
that quite number OF murders have been
committed in the immediate vicinity,
which led to an investigation. disclosing
the above fadts.

MAJ. GEN ]. G. BREcKINRIDGE We
see it stated that the whole Of JEFF. Da-
Wis Cabine. has been pardoned. Is that
the fact? lfit is, is not John G. Breck-
inridge. who was in the Cabinet at lhe
evacuation Of Richmond, one Of the par
doned
F If Mr.. Breckenridge is not pardoned,
and he wishes to be, we hope he will be.
No charge. so far as we can learn, lies
against him that does not lie equally
against all who were in rebellion. No
one has ever accused him Of inhumanity
TO prisoners or Of anything inconsistent
with the most kuighty courtesy and chiv-
alrv. -
To pardon such offenders as our Gov
eminent has pardoned, and yet to keep
Mr. Breckinridge 10 exile. IL he is willing
to come under the prescribed obligations,
is an unjust and unreasonable discrimin-
alton sccor ding to our opinion. Wedo not
know what Mr.. B. will or will not swear
or promise. but we will lay our life that
be will do whatever he says be will do.
And none can doubt that, as loyal cit.
