ARRAY ON STEAMER JULIA.
One Negro Killed and Three
Wounded by n Crazy Man.

At Springfield landing Sunday even
ing, an old man named Horace Collier
evidently half crazy, went aboard the
steamer Julia, to 20 to St Francis river.
A short time afterward he aroused
the passengers by declaring that
the negroes on the boat were trying TO
kill him. He was Quoted at the time,
but later, when the crew we're going to
the cookhouse for supper, he drew re-
peater and commenced firing. Five
shots were discharged, one killing a
negro named Henderson Jones, and
wounding three others, named Frank
Jasper, Rufus Horton and Russell Ad-
ans. Collier was arrested, and on the
boat reaching Vicksburg, lodged in Jail.
The DoNLoN MURDER CAsE.-This
case has occupied the Criminal Court
for the last seven days, and has attracted
more than usual interest Donlon is
charged with the murder Of his wife,
some time last March. The evidence is
principally dying declaration; but the
weight Of the evidence seems to show
that negro shot deceased instead of
her husband. The testimony was closed
yesterday about IL m, aud the argument
commenced at p IN. Mr.. J. B. Ferhnam
opened for the State, presenting the law,
and was followed by Colonel Geerge
CAN'T, for the defense, in an able,
argumentative and powerfully eloquent
address. Col. CAN'T was followed by
Captain d. Il. Meyers, who made the
closing argument for the defense, of
about two hours length. He made a
most able, pointed and eloquent argu.
ment He dissected the evidence with
mastery skill, and applied the principles
of law in a manner which showed him, at
the same time, the good lawyer and
accomplished debater Capt Meyers
was followed by ]. B. Robertson, who
closed for the State, in lengthy and
able argument. The case was given to

Rousseau as a Spy.

OEE Of Mr.. JohnsOn's organs let's this coat out
Of the bag" in reference 10 General Rousseau's
presence in General Sheridan's Department.
People generally wondered what business
Rousseau had in that quarter, but this writer,
in endeavoring to shield him from General
Sheridan's charge, that he was interfering with
reconstruction admits that the President tele-
graphed to Rousseau as follows--"How do
matters look in louisiana" and the latter,
anxious to answer in accordance with the
Executive DESIRE responded Affairs here
look very gloomy, and the people much de-
pressed. Any change that would be required
would meet with almost universal approba-
tion." This explains Rousseau's mission
The President determined to oust Sheridan,
and, to make a show of reason for 30 doing.
despatched this trusty agent whose sympa-
thies are in unison with his own, to New Or
leans, where he acted the part of spy and in
former on the commanding general.
Rousseau may have thought that he himself
would secure the appointment to fill the gal
