ENGLISH HARVEST OF 1865 The
yield of wheat in Great Brstain last year
appears quite certainly to have been be-
low an average, leaving necessity for
the importation of fifty or sixty million
bushels to meet the consumption of the
people 1t is consequently considered
quite certain that prices there, which
have been below the ruling rates in this
country, must materially advance before
spring, so, perhaps, as to admit OF Ameri.
can shipments being sent out at profit

lust out Of Their Holes-Four Confede-
rates Come in and Surrender.

The Petersburg Inder of Wednesday
relates the following:
The serenity Of the Office of the com
manding officer of this post was agitated
on yesterday by the apparition of foul
Confederate soldiers, who gave their
names and descriptive lists as follows
Anthony Monkas, Co. E, SD Georgia
Infantry, Sd Army Corps A. N V.
Thomas Wells, ditto.
James Brinberter, ditto.
Allen Tewsberry, 43d Louisiana, ditto,
A more ragged set of rebels had never
appeared before the Colonel during all
the dealing he has ever had with the
ragged rebel" of Lees army. Tews.
berry was a sort Of walking Illustration
of original patchwork His clothing had
been tied and sewed and stuck together
with strings, thread, and thorns, until
there did not appear a solitary square
inch upon it which had not been
tied up, sewed up, or stuck up in some
way or other. His companions were
not quite so bal off, one having pair
of blue, Yankee pants, with only hall
dozen rents in it; another hiding the
raggedness Of his gray pants with a
flowing, though ribbony, Yankee over
coat, and the other making his decency
apparent by concealing the defects OF
his upper garments with an old oil cloth
fly, awfully bedaubed with mud.
Tewsberry stated to the Colonel that
he and his party stopped at the Apo
mattox, about seven miles above the
city, after the evacuation Of Petersburg,
for the purpose, at first, of resting; that
they stayed longer than they expected,
and were cut off. They then made a
vow to live on that spot, and ney0r &c
home or give up until the Confeieracy
was completely annihilated. They
sought out cave on the banks of the
river, which at that point is very rocky,
and after some little industry succeeded
in erecting for themselves most com
Portable little home Here they lived
upon fish and game, and occasionally
roasting ears, during all last summer,
and upon bread made of corn they had
gathered from the corn-fields, and an oc-
casional pig they found without a
mother, in their rambles during the win
ter This spring and summer they lived
as they did last summer, but recently,
hearing from an old negro man that the
Confederacy had undoubtedly gone up, ="
they concluded to quit the barbarian
life and surrender. They marched TO
the city yersterday morning, with their
muskets and accoutrements, stacked
arms in front of headquarters, sent in
word that they were the remnant of the
Army of Northern Virginia, and that
they wished to surrender upon the con-
ditions accorded.to the main body. Col.
Milton cordially assented to their re-
quest, gave them transportation to their
homes, and bade them adieu.
The illustrious four roamed about
town for a short time, had new suits Of
clothing given them, and, after being
made about half drunk, embarked on the
southern trains for their homes

BLOODY AFFAIR In ARKANSAS.
A Man Attacked by -Four High
waymen, Robbed, and
Tied to a Tree.
He Afterwards Fights One of the
Robbers-Both are Killed.

The Jacksonport Era, of the llth,
says that man named Mckinney, an
overseer hired by planter in that coun-
ty, was stopped on his way to the plan
tation the Tuesday evening previous by
four men, who robbed, blindiolded and
tied him to tree. The Era says that
as soon as released he went to Cotton
Plant and obtained a States warrant for
the two he recognized - Stracener and
Berry were their names who were ar
raigned before Justice Lentz of Cotton
Plant The evidence for the State was
in accordance with the above facts. But
one of the accused parties-Berry-ad-
duce1 evidence by which he proved that
he was at another place at the hour the
outrage was perpetrated. 1t is believed
that the witnesses who deposed this testi-
mony we're the accomplices Of Berry.
Upon this evidence both parties were re-
leased
When the trial was concluded, McKin-
ney and his friends left Cotton Plant for
their homes-some in wagons, and some
on horseback. Abovt FIVE miles north of
Cotton Plant, the Stracener and Berry
party overlook them. One Eli Stages, a
brother-in-law to Berry, and witness for
him, rode up TO Mckinney and COM
menced abusing him, and finally chal-
lenged him to pistol combat, or duel,
on the ground Mckinney readily ac-
cepted; and, leaping from his wagon,
pistol in hand, about twenty feet apart,
the firing between the parties COM
menced. Each party fred three shots,
any opc of which would have proved
fatal. Stages received the first shot in
the mouth, the next in the throat, and
the third in the breast Mckinney was
shot three times in the breast When
these shots were fred, the parties turned
their backs upon each ether, walked
about the same distance from the scene,
and both fell about the same instant, one
upon his back and the other upon his
face, and died with pistols in hand. This
occasioned good deal Of promiscuous
shooting-about twenty random shots
between the respective friends of both
parties. But fortunately no other dam
ace was done

Hon. Ajax. b. Stephens.

Mr.. Stephens left his home in Craw-
fordsville, Georgia, short time since,
and, without making any stoppage ex-
cept the necessary change of cars, pro-
ceeded to Washington. Arriving there
he had short interview with the Presi-
dent, and left Washington Wednesday
morning at eleven o'clock for Philadel-
phia, where he arrived the same evening
about six o'clock The arrival of Mr..
Stephens was known to but very few
and few select friends met him at the
depot and escorted him in a carriage to
the residence above named. Mr.. Ste
phens was greatly exhausted on his arri-
val, and retired early to.bed in order, if
possible, to gain sufficient strength to
visit the Convention the next morning.
During the night, however, the ex-Vice
President was seized with severe attack
of illness, and woke up Tuesday morn
ing greatly enfeebled, so much so that il
was not deemed advisable for him TO
leave the house. In answer to questions
Mr. Stephens stated that he came for the
purpose Of attending the Convention, but
after arriving doubted the adyisability Of
making his appearance at the wigwam.
His main objection appeared to be, this
morning, that his health was in such an
enfeebled state that he could do nothing
more than be a locker on in Venice,
should he make his appearance and he
stated that he feared being called on to
make speech, which he did not feel
able to do. he said that whatever he
might say while in this city would be
comprised in a very few words, and inti-
mated that he might give expression to
these words before the people ere he de-
parted for his home. He stated that he
would remain in Philadelphia during the
remainder Of the week, when he would
return home via Washington.

sofa with his mouth and nostrils covered
with cotton wool, On two chairs near
were sets of paper, and upon one Of them
a watch was laid. Thinking the master
was asleep, the ervantremoved the cot
ton wool, and then, struck with some
thing strange in the face, he ran for med
ical aid, but it was too late. .'aalg al
One of the memoranda referred to an
experiment, apparently tried on Thurs
day, viz: The effect of inhalation Of the
vapor of chloroform for singing in the
ears, so as to be forced to the tympanum,
either by being taken in by the breath
through towel or sponge, producing
a beneficial sensation or warmth. The
second paper was an experiment on The
effect of chloroform combined with hy-
drocyanic acid.' This was not classi-
fed, apparently waiting for result.
Close to DR.. Tonybees hand, on a chair,
were two bottles. One of them contained
recti6ed ether, which had not been open
ed the second was little more than
half full of hydrocyanic acid. There
was also a machine made Of Indian-rub-
ber lying on the chair, used for injecting
ether or other vapors, and afterwards
was found underneath the sofa just at his
haud-that of dead man s--would fall,
a six ounce bottle, completely empty,
which had contained chioroform, but
was dry and free from smell. The jury
returned the following verdict: THAT
the deceased met his death accidentally
while prosecuting his experiments, by
inhaling a combination of chloroform
and prussic acid, and the jury desired
to express their deep sympathy with the
family of the unfortunate deceased gen.
tleman."
