Another Confederate War Case-Gen. B. F..
Fourth District Court ofLouisinna--Judge OF
Thcnrd.
We havo given already an outline of this case,
but We presume our readers will be interested in
the following moro full particulars:
STATE OF LOUISIANA ps LOUISIANA STATE BANK.
This important st1it came on in this Opurt yester
1868. Previous to the military occupation Of New
Orleans the State had deposited in the said bank
large sums of money, the State claiming balance
in April, 1862, of s462 75213 At the instigation Of
Gen. Shepley, and by authority Of Gen. Butler, it
was agreed that this sum should be invested in
cupation, and accordingly some 5000 bales were
purchased aad brought to New Orleans.
The State, alleging that the bank was under o
pretended liquidation, and that it had fears the
agents Of she Bank would dispose Of said cotton,
obtained writ of sequestration. In June, 1858,
ton ordered its assets 'to be converted into cash
as speedily as possible" A board of iquidators
were appointed for the bank and the cotton seized
and turned over to them.
| Tho State now renews it's suit for the sum above
claimed. The bank sets up that the apparent bal
to the credit Of the State grew out Of the pur
chase of one million and seventy-fve thousand dol
lars Of war bonds, issued by the State, which the
bank was compelled to make at the time, for the
purpose Of carrying on the war against the United
we're delivered up to Gen: Candy and have become
entirely useless. That the cotton was afterwards
sold by Gen. Candy as captured property" and
the proceeds held by the bank under Especial or
der and that the State has no claim to 1t.
A large array of counsel appeared In court, re
presenting the parties, but the case was continued
until next Wednesday,, on account of absent wit
nesses.-Neao Orleans Pacay,sne.

IMPEACHMENT.
Tho judiciary Committee still continues to
shake its CORY locks, and advance Vague ACCUSE
tions in tho matter ofimpeachment. of The only two
Witnesses that have been sunnoned by subpoena
to testify before it is that precious scamp and
popular Northern detestation, ES-detective LAFA-
YErTE C. BAKER, formerly the head and front OF
Secretary SrANToNs spies for designating the class
of people which il would be advisable to consgn to
Fort Warren and other pleasant Federel retreats
for indiscreet Northerners during tho war; The
other is Scov1LLE, q member of the New Jersey
Legislature, and who stood out so long last fall
when there was tie vote upon electing substi-
tute to Senator STOCKTON, just then deposed from
the Senate by The Radicals ScoV1ILE, for that
act of neutral devotion, expected to get Govern
ment Office, failed and is here to depose against
the President in the matter Of preparing articles
of impeachment BAKER, it will be remembered,
was apprehended last summer by the President
engaged in 'sshadowing" the White House with his
detective force, and secretly scanning Mr..
JoHNsoN's own movements, whenever occasion Of
fered. twas under this embarrassing discovery
that Secretary STANTON was obliged to disband the
detective force and dispense with even so valuable
an auxiliary as BAKER. The latter now turns up
to aid in the conviction of the Executive. Singu-

Girard, in sketch of the eminent French advocate
Maitre Emmanuel Arago, gives curious iuustra-
ton of the license which the members Of the bar
in that country occasionally allow themselves on
behalf of their clients The case in which NJ. Ara
20 first made reputation was the trinl of young
man, named Huber. and Mile. Laure Gonvelle,
for plot against Louis Philippe. NJ. Arago, in
defending the former, exclaimed, "Huber is a man
whom esteem, whom love, whom shall never
forget, as I hope he will never forget me-a man,
gentleman, whom could desire to be my brother.
Surely you will give him back to me-" And OF the
close OF this singular peroration the impassioned
counsel fell upon his clients neck and embraced
him. The jury, however took their own view OF the
case, and returned a verdict Of guilty. When the
prisoners appeared to receive sentence M. Arago
again hugged his client, while M. Jules Favre who
defended Mile, GouyeIe, fell into her arms and
kiBsed her. stIn fact" as M. Girard remarks,
sthere was great deal Of embracing IN that CASE

FIRST LIGHTING OF Moscow WITH GAS. The
London Morning Post publishes an account of a
curious ceremony performed ut Moscow on the
27th of December last, when the old Russian capi-
tai was for the first time lighted with gas AT two
O'Clock @ '"Te Deum' was sung at the gas factory,
which was, moreover, solemniy consecrated. Then
there was a grand banquet after which tho Off
cials and the principal guests proceeded to the
Kremlin, where platform covered with red cloth
had been prepared, close to the cathedral Of st.
Michael. At half-past four the Mayor armed him
self with taper and approached the nearest lamp,
of which the tap was already in the hands OF an
aide. At the word Of command the tap was turn
ed, the gas was lighted, military band began to
play the national hymn, and the music was con-
tinued until the whole hremln was Illuminated, as
well as large portion Of the exterior city. The
Pull Mall Gazette says: ''We do not know what the
quality of the Moscow gas may be- but lift is really
worth thanking heaven for, the hIaSor Of Moscow
may say or sing with Pierre Dupont's ultra-naton-
al wine -drinker:
"Je songe en- renerciant Dieu
Quils men out pas en- Angleterre."

The INDIAN WAR.
Three United States Forts In a state of
Siege.


WASHINGTON, January 29.--The following is
the substance of letter just received from an
officer at Fort Philip Kearney to gentleman
in this city:-
and Smith, are in a state of seige. All the Sioux
Indians, including those VINO committed the
atrocities in Minnesota, are in the neghbor-
hood. The garrison at Fort Reno consists of
three companies of infantry, not full, and one
piece of artillery. Phil Kearney has four pieces
of artillery and five companies of infantry one
half effective, and few mounted men. Fort
Smith has two pieces of artillery, two COM
panies of infantry, and 28 mounted mem
amounting in the aggregate to 400 men; so
you can perceive that these posts are in state
of siege. The mass of the Indians are on the
river about fifty miles from this post. Our COM
mun1cation with Fort Smith is entirely cut Oft.
Some fifteen hundred lodges of Indians are
located at that point, including the Blackteet,
the Cheyennes, and Arrapahoes, the whole
number amounting to between four and five
thousand.
"They are well mounted and armed. They have
several times attacked the wood trans, and
Friday, December Il, they made their ap-
pearance in small number near
the fort, and challenged us to fight.
Colonel Darlington shelled them, killing pony,
and driving out thirty Indians from their
covert. Captain and Brevet-Colonel Fitterman,
Captain Brown, and Lieutenant Drummond,
were ordered out to protect the wood train,
which had been attacked. Captain Fitterman
COluudlu6u Iu6 lulduJIy, Lieutenant DTunmOuu
the cavalry, numbering 27 men, and Captain
Brown some mounted teamsters and citizens;
the whole force amounting to 81 men. About
so of these were armed with Spencer rifles, and
the remainder with Springfield muskets. The
officers instead of obeylng orders, allowed
themselves to be decoycd from the position they
had been ordered to take, and consequently fell
into an ambush, and were all cruelty murdered.
The writer, who is on duty at Fort Kearney, was
ordered by Colonel Darlington to proceed to q
point five miles Off and ascertain If the wood
train was safe, and then to join the command.
After proceeding about three miles he found the
train safe, and then attempted to join Captain
Fitterman, but it being impossible, he immedi-
ately sent to the fort for reinforcements. Forty
men, under a captain, were sent out and we
reached the scene of action Just in time to wit
ness the murder of the last victim. The poor
fellows who had thus been wantonly murdered
the bodies were brought into the fort"
