Horrible Tragedy.

The New Albany Ledger gives the partic.
ulars of one of the most cold blooded and
horrible fartircides we have ever heard of. The
outrage was committed in Salem, Indiana
Joseph Allen was the proprietor of a wooen
factory at Salem, in which he worked mum
Der of women, among them several young
girls His unnatural brother, William, had
lately returned from the army, and was in the
habit of visiting the factory, annoying the
women, and delaying them in their work
His brother, Joseph demonstrated with him
several times about the improperly Of his
conduct, but as it was continued, he finally
felt compelled to premptorily forbid its repe-
tition. When Joseph made this announce
ment to his brother, the latter became terribly
incepsed and threatened to wreak summary
vengeance upon Joseph. This was on Satur-
day the 20th inst. On that night, or during
the following day, William armed himself
pair of brass kuucks, or a slung shot, and q
large knife. Thus armed, he went TO the res
ideuce of his brother Joseph, during Sunday
night, the 2lst and calling him to the door,
first assaulted him with the suug-shot or
brass knucks, knocking him down insensible,
and cutting,his face and head in most fright
ful manner He then drew the knife, and
with it inflicted stab upon his brother
striking him between the sixth and seventh,
ribs, penetrating through the diaphragm and
into the lower bowels, producing a wound
which proved fatal on the following Thursday,
25th inst.
THE murderer WAS arrested on Monday
morning, 23d inst, before the extent of his
brothers injuries we're known, and was held
upon charge of assault and battery, with
intent to kill. He gave the required bond,

Presents to Govsrment Omclals

President Andrew johnson, in declining
the present Of carriage and span Of horses
from New York, has followed the example
of Democratic predecessor from the same
State, the lamented James ssK. kPolk The
reminisence is thus recorded 10 the New
York Evening Post;
"When Mr.. James K. Polk was elected
President OF the United States, man named
Lloyd was in the office of Surveyor of the
Port of Baltimore. He had been appointed
to that position by Mr., President Taylor, and
be was anxious to retain his place. Immed.
ately after the inauguration of Mr. Polk, be
sent to his stables two cream colored horses
(Arabianl which he had purchased at
public sale, the animals having been prsse Mt.
ed to President Van Baren by the Imaum of
Muscat, and refused, under that clause of the
Constitution which prohibits any public officer
from receiving any presents from o foreign
potentate, prince or Government.
The horses were in Mr.. Folks stables be-
fore he was aware of it, Lloyd being anxious
to act on the Agreeable surprise principle
As soon as the then President discovered the
agreeable surprise, he ordered the horses
out sent them back to Baltimore, and to
Lloyd. and instantly dismissed him from tho
Surveyorship OF Baltimore"

From 'h' ws'hiOSyto9 Correspondent Of the

From thu Wsshiugton Correspondent Of the New
York Times
The people Of Washington have been on
short allowance Of food ever since the great
review Of the armies. Washington has 10
feed nov, not only it own population, but
two vast armies beside. Witch are encamped
around it, numbering nearly 100000 men.
The extraordinary demand for food which
this state OF things has produced has entirely
exhausted the supply Of some articles, and
we are threatened with famine Many fam.
lilies that | know of actually went without
bread all day yesterday. Large quantities Of
houer are now now on the way from Balti-
more, however, and It is 10 be hoped that
the Government will take means to supply the
army With food. at least to an extent that
will prevent the men from foraging in the
city.
Discipline in all the camps seems some
what relaxed. Many of the soldiers have
never been in Washington before, and they
seem to regard themselves as having some
kind Of right to appropriate articles which
they fancy to their own use. They pay for
these when they have money! but If they
are not in funds they don't let that trouble
them. The guard house and police stations
are crowded this afternoon with soldiers, who
have been arrested Tor petty theits. The
military guard of the Provost Marshal has
been doubled, and all disorderly soldiers are
arrested. But the evil has not yet been
checked in the least, and serious trouble is
spprehended There is only one way to pre-.
vent this aud that is TO enforce strict dis
clpline at the camps. 1t may well be doubted
whether it was wise, after all, to bring two
such large armies TO the capital, and wheth-
er it would not be better now to remove one
oftbem TO some other point II an outbreak
should occur, the Consequences might be
most deplorable, 1t was only q day or two
ago that several thousand men from Sher-
mans army made an attack on the buildings
OF the Commissary Department, carried the
place by storm, gutted it completely robbed
