THE WAsHINaToN ARTILLERy.--We are in +
formed that the members Of the Washington Ar y
tillery, that was the pride of New Orleans before
the war, and whose gallant deeds during the uE-
happy troubles Of the last few years are appre-
ciated as well by those who opposed them as by
those who did not, are about resuming their old
organization. The Governor, we understand, will
ut once commission the officers who will be elected,
for he beleyes that such an organization as the
Washington Artillery will be one OF the organiza-
Nona par ercelence that will ever be ready to
meet foreign aggression, sustain the honor Of the
nation abroad IL called upon, and repress Illegal
disturbances At home. We are satisfied that one
of these days, as soon as sufficient time is allowed
for appearing on parade in the style that belongs
to them, the Washington Artillery will be re- |
viewed hy Gen Phil. Sheridan with pride and sat
isfs.ctica, for gallant General, as he has proved
himself to be, will greet those who have shown
themselves gallant soldiers with large heart and
a generous nature, and true sense OF patriotism.
CR1HrsAL CouRr.- On Saturday Conrad Heepe
was tried for the murder Of his brother Christian
Heepe, on the 18th Of July last at the corner OF
Dryades and Philip streets. The case, so far as
the circumstances attending the homicide are con-
cerned, was not complicated one. 1t appeared
that the brothers had INDUCED in bad feeling
against each other on account of a lot OF ground
owned jointly by them. During the course Of the
recrimination that ensued, Christian uttered re-
mark Of the most insulting and derogatory descrip'
ton ID regard to the character Of Conrad's vile,
chasing her with the vilest Of her sex. Conrad
approached Christfl as he was putting up fence
to separate the lot OF ground referred to- and asked
him If he had made the remark attributed to him.
Christian made no reply, and Immediately Conrad
shot him with double barreled gun Christian
died few days afterwards.
The main point sought to be relied on by the
counsel for the defense, was that the wound was
not necessarily mortal and that the result was oc
casioned by want of skillfal treatment. Attorney
General Heron and District Attorney Fuller ap-
peared for the State.
The case was given to the jury at S o'clock. AT
Z a later hour, as there was no prospect OF the
Jury agreeing, they were locked up for the night
and the court adjourned until 10 O'Clock yesterday
morning.
Yesterday the jury returned into court with
verdict Of g guilty, without capital punishment" !"

meat, made preparations, which if they had beel
successful would have resulted in the destruction
of large amount of property. The scoundre

oil, and placed near it about half pound Of pow
der and some matches. Luckily these facts wer
