Charges against Gen. Fitzpatrick.
NEW YoRK. June oG

NEW YORK, June 26
The Herald's Washington despatch says
prominent Senators state that Secretary Sew
ard has concluded secret treaty with Napo-
leon, by which the United States is debarred
from interfering with the movement OF for
eign troops now supporting Maximiiian after
the Withdrawal of French troops. 1t is un-
derstood that Maximilian will offer himself for
the presidency of the Mexican Republic
Having secured that position, he is to take adj
vantage of any small revolution and declare
himself Emperor, thereby fanking the Mon
roe doctrine and securing frIner imperial
throne than the present.
The same special says Gen. Sheridan te.e-
graphs Gen. Grant that nine-tenths of the
Mexican people are opposed to the LONGER
reign of Maximilian, and when the foreign
troops are Withdrawn, be will leave few sup-
porters in Mexico.
The dispatch also says Santa Anna is un-
derstood to be in the interest of the Maximil-
ian and church party, and should be closely
watched by the United States.
A special says the reports to the Freedmens
Bureau from Maryland are very unsatistacto-
ry; notwithstanding the negroes work well
there is bitter feeling against them. Several
instances have occurred where they have been
sold on the block into slavery for few years
for petty larceny.
The HeraId's special says charges against
the private conduct of Gen. fitzpatrick, Min
lister to Chill, have been made to the State De-
partment and are under investigation. =

A VERY SMALL VIoToRY-The Wash
ington Chronicle, and other Radical Journ-
ais, are little noisy over the Connecticut
election. an election where the Democrats
gain seven to eight Senators, and add thirty
five to the number of their Representatives
and diminish the Republican majority some
thousands
A sensible man would not see much to re-
ioice over in result like this. But the vote
in Connecticut also shows that thousands of
voters staid at home, comparing the vote OF
1856 with that of 1854 We have good rea-
son to believe that large majority of these
voters will record their names for the Presi-
dent in any purely national issue. A majority
Of 500 for General Hawley in the face of the
support he received, and the double part
played by himself and friends, is moral de-
feat.-N. Y Express.

Norfolk and North Carolina Trade.

Let the people of Norfolk be unrenittinp
IN their efforts to secure the trade of this Sec
ton Of country. That it will soon, from the
great inducements they now offer our mer-
chants, go there, we have not the least doubt
Self interest is the moving spring of every
human breast and did the folks here cal e
nothing for, yea even hate that city, they will
go to 1t to make their purchases when it is as
certalned that goods can be bought there as
| cheap, If not cheaper than elsewhere. 1t
takes time though to alter the channel OF
trade and 1t will be won by the inducements
offered by this mart until it will be an ex-
ceptlon for any person to go farther North to
get his supplies We see bright future for
that city. Its business men are engaging in an
honorable competition with those of other
cities in regard to low prices, and we believe
they will in the race leave their competitors
far in the back ground. Let Norfolk mer-
chants each and every one of them, spare no
pains or expense to keep their business be-
fore the public. ..a.4 s
The trade between this town and Norfolk
last fall was large, but this fall it will be
threefold larger, our farmers are making great
preparations for planting and large guam
tlty OF cotton and other products will be raised
for shipment. After the crops are laid by
the manufacture of tar, shingles and slaves
will be commenced on large scale. That
it may be somewht dull this summer we have
reasons to believe. Our folks must 90 to
work if they are to have anything to sell.
Left as they were at the close of the war almost
penniless we think they have done well to
get up the trade they have. Though the
stream be pent up and for a. while ceased
from running, yet, when it is broken loose it
comes with redoubled fury Even though
there is not as much activity in business this
summer as there has been, yet this fall will
make ample amends for that inactivity. We
are not moved alone by personal interest
when we say that her merchants should adj
vertise literally with us. We believe it will
be to the interest Of all concerned to do so.-

Incident Of the siege of Port hudson.

That fact is stranger than fiction, is exem-
plited in the following true story of two bro
theirs, twins, which occurred during the me-
morable siege of Port Hudson:
Passing one day through the streets Of that
little town, we noticed two corpses lying up
on the gallery of the carpenters shop, await
ing their turn for the boxes dignifed with the
title of collins, to consign them to their last
resting place. They were bodies of tall stat
ture, stout and well built, betokening the
hardy baekwoodsnen of the Southwest. Over
the faces of each was thrown a CLOTH through
which the blood was oozing, showing that
they had received their death wounds through
the head. 1t was no uncommon sight during
the siege to see death in every form, from the
body pierced by the single bullet to the one
shattered to atoms by the cannon ball or the
mortar shell. Yet there was something in the
appearance of those bodies which riveted
our attention, and induced the inquiry as to
who they were. A rough, grizzly Confederate
soldier was sitting by their side, whose arm,
tied up, showed that for the present he was
unfit for active service. The tears were trick
ling down his cheeks as he gazed mournfully
upon the dead before him, while his culver
ing lip told better than words that they had
been more to him than simple comrades of
the tent and field.
He related their story in few words
"They were my sons" said he, "and were
twins. One Of them joined at the same time
did. We came here with General Beale, and
have done our duty to the best Of Our know
ledge, and believe to the satisfaction of our
officers. s,
"This morning, sir, while at the breast
works, one of my boys, in order TO get good
aim at the sharpsho t rs outsit . tho GIT
essly raised himself too high, wnen rife
ball pierced his brain, and he fell dead at my
feet. His brother, seeing him fall, sprang
forward to pick him up, but in SO doing, exc
posed himself above the line Of defences,
when he too received ball through the brain,
a id he fell dead upon the still quivering form
of his brother. AS they came into the world,
50 they went out Of it-together. In renov-
ing their bodies from the breastworks, I got
this wound which has shattered my arm
Would that had died with them, sir, for I
h.vs no one to love now upon this earth"
"And their mother-your wife 2"
"Died, sir, in giving them birth"
One coffin received the remains of the
twins and few days after, while sitting in
front of his tent an exploding shell gave
death-wollnd to their heart-broken father
