occurrences ~ ,s--.--
On Thursday Of last week Capt. Rrenker,
and eight men Of 10. Shelby's guerrilla out
laws, who for some time past have been
operating in Northern Arkansas, crossed
White River below Clarendon, and entered
Monroe county. They first proceeded to
Mr.. S. Peppers's plantation, near which they
found furloughed soldier named Keep,
whom, without provocation, they mur-
dered in cold blood. Keep was stripped,
tied to tree and made target for their
pistol balls. He received several shots, one
of which took effect in his mouth and killed
him. Mr. Peppers was taken out of his
own house and killed, receiving q ball in his
breast.
During their stay, which lasted several
hours, the guerrillas maltreated quite a
number Of citizens, beating them with clubs
and the butts of their carbines and pistols.
Women were insulted, and the entire neigh
borhood for time under perfect reign Of
terror.
As soon as the murderers left, a few rebel
soldiers in the vicinity and number Of cit
izens organized, mounted and pursued
them. They overlook them about twenty
miles from Duncan's Praire, and immedi-
ately attacked them. The fugitives scarcely

SHIPs-oF-WAR TO BE LAID UP.-A Wash
ington correspondent writes that it is un-
der consideration by the Secretary of the
NAVY to retire about one-half of the vessels
now in commission, and use the surplus
seamen and landsmen employed on board
for land service. This will add about twenty
five thousand to the effective land forces.
The capture Of all rebel ports win enable
this important reduction to be made in the
naval force and large saving in expense OF
that branch of service.

DEPRESSION IN THE NORTHERN Markets
OTHER TESTING NEWS.
Depression in the vyholesale Mar

Depression in the Wholesale Market.
The Post says the wholesale market has
been much depressed during the week,
owing to the decline iii gold, the opening of
the Erie canal, and the news from Europe.
There has been heavy and general decline.
Flour declined about dollar, with the ten
dency strongly downward. Wheat was
freely offered at decline of about 10c.
Indian corn has arrived freely since the
opening of the canal, and prices have fallen
10 to 13c. Pork has rapidly iuctuated. At
the opening of the week the price rallied
sharply and rose to $29, then fell to S25 so.
The price subsequently advanced to S27.
Beef declined from So to S. per barrel and
unstable at the close. Bacon fiuctuated
rapidly, and declined materially. The mar
ket was firm at the close.
Alexander stephens Disgusted.
Refugee Georgiaus report that after the
Peace Conference Vice President Stephens
returned to his home more than ever dis
gusted with the Confederacy, and refused to
take any part in the business of firing the
Southern heart.
Released and Recaptured in Eight Days.
The Times Washington special says: That
all the prisoners captured in the engage
ments before Petersburg were brought to

among the prisoners captured on March 18th,
delivered at Point Lookout March 9th, were
a number who had only been released from
that prison March II.

TEE WAR CRY IN ENGLAND--1be Cause of
H-The London Star, referring to the
Times's articles, endeavoring to produce the
impression that the United States. as soon
as the rebellion is put down, viii immedhte-
ly plunge into a war with England, says
this idea is assiduously fostered for business
purposes, "but any genuine alarm appears
to be confined to those who were the most
scrupulous Confederate partisans They
seem to feel that, having exhibited as much
hostility as they possibly could against the
United States, q hostile sentiment on the
part Of that nation may be expected in re-
turn The conclusion the Star comes to is,
that great nations do net shape their policy
to gratify their resentments, and it might
have added that the United States owe their
great prosperity to peace and the industry
it promotes.
RETURNING.-Th stream of deserters from
the Southern armies, as well as Of civilians
anxious to escape from tyranny Of the most
calling kind, continues to pour through our
lines at all points. We read daily of num-
II bers who have fought and suffered for two.
three and four years, returning To their
homes and taking the oath of allegiance;
and Us the policy Of our Government BEL
comes more universally known among these
deluded men, the desertions will become
infinitely greater. The masses are begin.
ming to comprehend the true situation, and
arrive at the conclusion that it il time they
were abandoning cause at once hopeless
and unworthy. Come on, deluded men:
all that this great and magnanimous GOV
ernment asks is obedience to its laws.
