There arrived in this city, yesterday
morning, two hundred and fifty men,

these unfortunates when passing

COLONEL ST. LEGER GRENFEL.-
Intelligence has been received in this
city, from a source that is deemed en-
tirely worthy Of belief, that this Off
Ger, who distinguished himself during
the war, is now suffering eXcruciating
hardships at Dry Tortugas. 1t will
be remembered that at one time he
was Inspector of cavalry of Northern
Virginia. ON Gen j. f. b. Stualts
staff, and on that of Gen. Morgan also.
About two years ago he was sen
fenced to the Dry Tortugas for at
tempting the release of Confederate
prisoners at Camp Douglas, of Chica-
60. He is represented as being in
rags, his health undermined, and com
PEELED to labor many hours per day,
and in such a condition physically,
that unless soon set at liberty, death
will save the Government that trouble.
He is an English gentleman Of good
family, an ex-ofiicer in Her Majasty's
service, and we see no reason why the
British Minister at Washington should
not make the proper representations
to secure his release.-N. o. Times,

prise.

We long since predicted that the line o.

years, become "a busy scene of manufacturing
Industry. The high and dry pine lands
along that road are among the NEST healthy
locations in the South, and the water priv
ileges presented by the Tangipahoa, the
Annie and other streams, are equal to any
in the land
Already company has been organized
nnder a charter granted by the State of Mis-
sssippi with the style and title of the ''Cha-
Java Water Power and Manufacturing Com
.,any." The gentlemen prominently con-
neeted with the enterprise, are Gen. Writ
Adams, Col T. S. Hardee and d. X. Lehman,
Esq. They have secured a large quantity
of land along the Tangipahoa river, embra
cling almost the entire water power fur
nished by that stream, sufficient to turn
spindles innumerable, aud to employ a cap
ital of more than a million Of dollars.
II is proposed first TO erect a paper mill,
which can be put in operation by the invest
ment of a comparatively moderate sum, and
the employment Of a limited number Of ex-
perienced hands. Such a mill would be-
come productive in few months The wa
tiers of the Tangipahoa are clear and admi-
rably adapted to this important branch of
manufactures, and the demand for paper in
this city would be sufficient 10 keep a pretty
large mill constantly employed. We believe
that there is not a single paper mill now in
operation in the whole Southwestern eoun
try, aud there is certainly no other place in
the world where raw meterial can be Oh
tanned so abundantly and at such moderate
rates as I'm this city.
The disappointments which have attended
the planting interests during the past
season, will in all probability, induce cap
italists to seek other channels Of investment,
and we can scarcely conceive Of anything
which offers greater inducements than the
scheme above alluded to. The proposed
works are to be within ninety miles Of New
Orleans. and both the supply Of the raw ma
terial and the demand for the manufactured
article win be practically without limit
II is intended for the present TO eonine
operations TO the investment Of 100000,
and the remainder Of the power viii be ap=
piled by the stockholders to other branches
Of manufacturing industry. particularly cot

the part Of our people Il Is, we feel as
