WASHINGTON, Jan. IA. Official intel
ligence from the city of Chihuahua, to
the Sth of December, has been received
in this city.
Juarez, instead of being at San Anto.
MO, Texas, rs has been reported, was
resting quietly at Chihuahua, and wrote
to friend of his as follows;
"The commanding officers of the
state, the frontier state and political
leaders, have all expressed their approx.
al of the extension of my term, and have
reason to believe that the same will hap.
pen in other states of the Republic"
The French, it seems, have sent an.
other expedition to Chihuahua, and
should they be in great force, the Next
can Government will again abandon
that city and go to some other convent
ent point of the Republic.
1t may he stated with reference to the
recent dispatch to the Mobile Advertise,
touching the withdrawal of troops from
Alabama and Georgia, that in acting
upon the application of Governor Par
sons, of Alabama, for withdrawing the
troops and for arming the local militia
of the state, Gen. Grant has made the
following reply: s. .,s.g-l

NEWSPAPER NEWS.

Tn the United States Court of New
York, on Friday, before Commissioner
Stilwell, the case of the United States
against Captain EnOch M. Peabody, of
the ship Neptune, was heard. The de-
PENDANT was arrested on the charge OF
cruelty and assault and battery on the
high seas upon colored seaman of the
name of Richards. Richards stated that
almost during the entire voyage from
Liverpool to New York he was beaten
daily by the prisoner with an iron Delay
ing pin. He presented the appearance
of having being brutality treated, and his
physician certifies that he Is MANNED for
life. The prisoner not being ready to go
on with the examination, it was, on his
application, adjourned until Monday
next at two o'clock. The prisoner gave
bail for his appearance in the SUN of
three thousand dollars. 1t is reported
that several civil suits have been COM
menced against the captain by the crew,
and also by Richards. Further indica-
tons of a shocking state of affairs having
prevailed on board of Captain PeabOdy's
ship, the Neptune, during the late pas
sage from Liverpool to New York, were
furnished in an investigation before
Coroner Cover of the case of Mrs. Mary
A. Gilrey, one of the Storage passengers.
In this latter affair, however, the guilt
is charged on the surgeon of the ship.
Mrs. Gilroy gave birth to a child on
Tuesday last, while the vessel was lying
off Sandy Hook, but received no atten-
ton whatever, as alleged, and was left
to lie alone and completely neglected.
From this neglect and the cold, the mis-
cradle woman died on the following day.
The coroner's jury, in their verdict, Gen.
sure the ships surgeon, DIR. Herrick, as
well as the Emigration Commissioners.
Richmond is going into the Fenian
business. On Wednesday evening Mr..
Ed. p. Brooks, the correspondent of the
New York Times, convened the brother
hood at the SpOttswOOd House. Captain
Coghlan, of the Wing, made the prin-
ciI,al speech. He said, abiding to Lord
Palmerston, that "that old rascal-thank
God he is dead-did more to disintegrate
this country than any other man" Other
sentiments, equally pungent, fell from
the captain, and the meeting adjourned
for week. Are the Irish people of
Richmond quite sure that Fenianism is
among the things they need? 1t is ex-
-pensive and they are poor: IT, how
ever, they are Of the belief that it is
good, they can have it--gdlOre. But We
protest, in their behalf, that our friend
I'D. p. Brooks is not the man for

their behalf, that they have no connec-

2 MRS. Guild DISPOSED OF Few
DAYS. Isabella Ould, who has Occu-
pied 80 much of the attention of the
public, appeared again before the Hus-
tings Court at Its present term, and was
Yesterday sent on for further trial by the
unanimous vote OF the Court. A like
vote refused to bail her, contrary to the
previous decision of the Mayor. While
we willingly concede that the prisoner
should be punished for the shooting, yet
We do not think that the true ends of

them for this testimonial of love and
honor to my lamented husband, and
would thank you to convey to them the
strongest expression of my gratitude.
That their reward may he far greater

choicest blessings of Heaven may ever
rest upon each one of these kind hearts,

published from Gen. w. II. Sherman,
in which he cOntradicts the general i'm
preston that his appointment as super
intendent of the Military Academy, at
Alexandria, before the war, was due to
Bragg or Beauregard, and denies when
he left Louisiana he was pledged not to
oppose secession. He concludes by say
ing: 81 wish the South well. IF
have been scourged, then how much
better that it was me than Butler OF some
other of that school," HrfN
Gen. Sheridan has also written u let
ter, showing that he captured in the
Shenandoah Valley, as prisoners, more
men than Gen. EARLY reports was his
entire force. ~ + N
