Sem York NeuA

NEW YORK, March I4.-Nothins of
Importance transpired at the headQuar-
tiers of the Gleason branch of the Fee
Man party yesterday. Contributions
were received from circles in the coun-
try. 1t was stated that private infor-
nation had been received to the effect
that Sir Frederick Bruce had advised
the British Government to allow no
more news Of the Fenian rising TO be
forwarded over the Cable. The Senate
of the Brotherh Sed (Roberts' party has
been called together by Vice President
Gibbons.
The Brooklyn Navy Yard has been
reduced to peace footing, and all the
Departments put in order.
Naval officers say that the Dunden-
burg is not as formidable as our tur-
retted monitors, and point to the cap
ture of the Atlanta and Tennessee, which
are types of the Dundenburg, as proofs
of their assertion.
At a meeting of the Executive Com
mittee of the Board of Fire Insurance
Companies it was resolved that where
the doors and windows of buildings,
located in streets, less than eight feet in
width, were so constructed as to admit
of their being opened in case OF emer-
gency, a deduction OF ten cents may be
made from the standard rate. All
stores which have hoist-ways, dunn
mics, ETC., inside of the building, with
out iron coverings, shall be charged ten
cents in addition to the standard rate.
The Herald's Atlanta correspondent
reports that the prejudice against ne
gro outrage in Georgia is rapidly giving
way. The people were anxious to have
the reconstruction question settled, so
that the Northern capital could dow in
/ to the State and deYelope its mineral
I and other interests.
a match was made yesterday between
Samuel Collier and Barney Aaron, 10
/ hght in June next, for thousand dol
I lars.
( NEW YORK, March 1.-THE Express
states that a determined attempt was
made last night by a lawyer named
/ Daniel Mcfarland to murder Albert D.
/ Richardson, the well known Tribune
I correspondent. Mr.. Mcfarland was
1 Jealous of Richardson's attentions to
his wife, who is an actress, belonging
/ to the Winter Garden Company. Mr..
/ Richardson has for five or six weeks
Z occupied room in McFarIRnd's house
I in Amity street. Between II and l.
I o'clock last night Richardson and the
/ lady were walking down Amity street.
/ The husband came MP behind them and
/ fired three shots at Richardson from 4
revolver, one of which hit him, lodging
I in his groin. a police officer seized
Mcfarland and took him to a station
/ house. Richardson was taken to his
rooms, where the ball was extracted
but was subsequently removed to the
residence of Samuel Sinclair. This
morning the counsel of Richardson
stated TO the Court that his client de
clined 10 make any charge against tbs
prisoner, and he was discharged.

New York Specials.

New York, March IA Times spe-
cial says: The famous suits of Russell,
Major and Waddell, creditors against
the United States, known as the Floyd
acceptancies suits, are shortly to come
up again In the Supreme Court
Gen. Fullerton and 81. NJ. Flint,
known Ms Druid" of the New York
News, have been examined by the Ju-
dietary Committee regarding their
knowledge of the impeachment charges.
The former testified regarding the
Steedman and Fullerton bureau fnves-
tigation.
Col. L. C. Turner, long known as
Judge Advocate of the War Depart
ment, is lying dangerously i'll from u
roke of sp oPlexy, and may not live
till morning.
The Herald's special says: The expe-
dition against the hostile Indians OF
Kansas and Nebraska, under the COM
mand of Maj. Gen. Hancock, is fully
equipped and supplied, and will start
from Fort Leavenworih on the 10th.
Gen. Hancock orders all trains to be
organized for defence by electing a
Captain and other officers, and orga-
MIXING the teHmsters and EMPLOYEES and
all others belonging to the train, into
one or more companies. No trains are
10 be allowed to pass into the Indian
country which number less than %
wagons and 80 armed men. Whenever
an attack is made by the Indians upon
any train passing over the overland
routes, the commanding officer of the
nearest military post is directed
to furnish prompt assistance.
The Tribune's special correspondents
statement that the name of General
Heron had been sent in as Marshal for
New Orleans is untrue. No nominal
ton for that position has yet been
made.
There is great rivalry for the Mar
shalship in Louisiana, increased no
doubt by the fact that the emoluments
of the office are increased to two hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars per an
mum, by the passage Of the bankrupt
act.
1t is probable that the gold claimed
by the Richmond banks, now In the
Treasury, belonged originally to the
General Government, and WAS captured
in the early part of the rebellion by the
rebels while in the minis.
Colonel Taylor, ex-Member of Con-
gress from Tennessee, has been nomin-
ated as Indian Commissioner in place
OF Mr.. Bogy, rejected. 1t is thought he
also Will be rejected.

Adventures of a Break o Day Johnny
He Eaters Three. HOuses, Makes "a
Big HAM of Tennessee Money, Time
and JeweIry, and Seizes the Rings
ON the Fingers of Sleeping Beauty.
One of the most daring burglaries that
ever occurred in Edgefeld, was perpetrated
on the night of Monday, and the early
morning of yesterday. The residences Of
Mr.. r. NJ. Kinnaird, Of the firm of Cooke,
Settle & Co., Mr. D. c Hall, and Mr.. D. B.
Hicks, on Woodland street. were entered
by burglar, and all the light valuables
within easy reach stealthily removed.
The house Of Mr.. Kinnaird was proba-
bly, the first entered. From this a gold
watch worth $500, the property of Thomas
o Summers, Jr., son of Rev. DR.. Sum-
mers, was stolen, along with quantity of
iewelry, and all the loose change in the
pockets of scattered unmentiona5les.
The burglar then proceeded to the house
of Mr.. ID. G.. Hall, about half a mile near
err the suspension bridge, and entering the
dining room by means of a skeleton key,
secured two dozen silver spoons, valued at
$50, and bearing the initials 'F. A. H"
and "a. r. S." From the dining room he
found his way to small apartment in
which was the trunk of Mr.. Hall, and he
went through this in short order, relieving
it of seven hundred dollars in bills on the
Bank of Tennessee (Torbett issue, 1861,
worth about five cents on the. dollar and
eighty dollars of South Carolina and
Georgia money, equally valuable He

door open, as he passed noiselessly out.
Mr. Hicks house next claimed his at
tention, and three o'clock in the morning
found him at work on the shutters and
window facing the front porch, by means Of
displacing which, he effected an entrance
to the room of Miss Belle Hicks. Going
to the bureau, he packed up some of the
young lady's jewelry which had been laid
aside for the night, and then commenced
ransacking the drawers, from which he
took some other yaluables. Her trunk
also went through a hurried inspection,
and number of small bills which were in
it escaped the eye of the burglar. He could
then have moved away unobseryed, bnt
his cupidity was not yet satisfied. Creep
ing stealthily up to the bedside, he lifted
the hand of the sleeping lady and com
menced removing her rings, but in so
clumsy a manner that she awoke with
loud scream Of terror, awaking every one
in the house and bringing them at once to
the spot, while the barefooted burglar,
quick as thought, bounded from the win
dow, and in moment more was far down
the road speeding toward the suspension
bridge and Nashville. Before any one
could realize what had occurred he had
made good his escape.
The police are now on the lookout for
the bold rascal, though no clue as to his
name or color has yet come to light.

money market continues moderately active
but the demand for capital is chiefly for
speculative purposes, and is readily sup
piled by temporary loans on stock collat

ment securities at 4@5 per cent; the high
er being exceptional rates. Strictly first

All the reports from various parts of the
country in regard to the crops concur in
the most Aattering representations of their
condition. The wheat harvest has been
gathered in very wide section, and is now
in progress in many others, and every
where the yield is large and the quantity
excellent. Corn is growing finely and
promises well. Grass is very heavy, and
the yield of hay will be the largest for
many years. The cotton crop gives excel
lent promise, and large amount of ground
is in cultivation with that staple With
such tlattering prospects as these business
must soon revive, and the prices of the
great staples of life come down to reason
able rates.

IMPORTANT CAPTURE.

Newt. Guy, the Supposed Leader of
the Pay-Train Robbers Prisoner
He Is Nabbed In Texas by "a LOuIs-
willie Detective.
A dispatch received here yesterday
brings intelligence of the capture of the
notorious Newt. Guy, said to be the leader
Of the band of robbers who threw the pay
train of the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road from the track, near Bristow Station,
on the l1th of October last, robbiug it of
fifteen thousand dollars. Guy, it seems,
fed to Texas with his portion of the spoils,
thinking he would be forever secure in the
Botany Bay of America, could he but
reach it. A relentless pursuer was upon
his track, however, and reward of $1,000
had been offered by the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad Company for the cap
ture Of the desperadoes whose crimes really
led to the attack on passenger train some
time after, by King and his band of ruff
fans, and for which the leader so recently
paid the death penalty upon a gallows at
Franklin. Detective Bligh, of Louisville,
traced Guy to Texas, where he was identi-
fed by Assistant Paymaster Craik, who
was aboard the train at the time of the
robbery, and who was sent to Texes for
that especial purpose.
The prisoner will be placed in the Jail
at Bowling Green, KY, provided guard
of infantry sufficiently strong can be pro-
cured at that point to insure his safe-keep>
ing until the law shall take its course

A New and Interesting Book.


PARTISAN LIFE WITH Cor. JOHN S. MosBY. By
Mai. John Scott, late C. S. A. Author of
The Lost Principle" etc. With Portraits
and Engravings on Wood. New York: Har-
per & Brothers. 1867, p. p. 492.
The work is the history of the renowned
battalion, which, under the command of
Col. John. S. Mosby, achieved a fame so
great and accomplished results so important
in the Virginia campaigns of 1862, '63, and
ga. 1t has been prepared for publication
by the express sanction of Col. Mosby, and
has the patronage and cooperation of the
partisan chief, his officers and men.
The author served under Mosby during
his memorable campaigns, and is a native
Of that portion of Virginia which was the
scene of the principal operations of the
battalion. His material is drawn not only
from the actors in the strange history, but
many thrilling and many humorous in
cident has been derived from spectators of
the fierce drama. The impartiality of
history has been preserved, and the gener-
Gus acts or heroic exploits of Mosby's OPP
ponents have been frankly related.
As a record of romantic and heroic
phases of the war, and as illustrating the
methods by which a single battalion de-
layed armies, thwarted Generals, arrested
invasion, and proved itself power equal
to forty times its number, this work will
be found to possess an extraordinary and
most thrilling interest.
