One of the most outrageous acts that
ever shocked humanity or startled a
community, was perpetrated Tuesday
morning on Phillip Street. A man
named Doyle, to celebrate the birth Of
his first child, went off on a spree and
remained for two or three days. He
then took a fancy that the baby was
not loved by his wife, and returned to
his house to take charge Of it. When
he went in he was still drunk, or much
under the influence OF liquor, and order
ed his wife, who was still unable to go
about, to give the child to him and
leave the house. Thinking the man in
tended to injure the baby, his wife got
up and took the child to her arms,
whereupon Doyle struck her in the
face and over her head with Ratchet,
and when she fell, he seized the child
and ran away. The neighbors hearing
fuss soon came in and found the poor
woman covered with her own blood,
insensible on the floor. She was i'm
mediately removed to the Hospital and
is still alive, although her recovery is
very doubtful. The child was after
wards found in the house of an acquain-
lance and is now with it's MOTHER
Doyle was arrested q few hours after
the deed was committed and is now in
the Fourth District lock up. The
neighbors SAY that Mrs. Doyle was a
good and well behaved woman, and
that she and her husband had lived
very quietly together up to the time Of
the birth Of the child, with the excep-
ton that he went occasionally on q
froic and would then treat her rudely
His attack On bis wife on Tuesday was
one OF the most brutal acts and merits
the severest punishment.

"BR1cK" PoaERoY AND BUTLER rick"
writes the following letter to the Memphis
Avalanche:
MEMPHIS, Tenn, February l6, 1867.
Editors Avalanche:
GenNemen--I see by the papers that
Major General Beast F Butler, LID, (lies
like devils has published card in New
York paper, denying that he wrote to me
at La Crosse, offering to discontinue his
contemplated libel suit, as first noticed in
Republican paper of Chicago, if I would
discontinue my remarks concerning him.
He further says he pays no attention to
newspaper attacks, to which statement his
own letter to the New York paper gives
the lie, else why the letter?
Butler, annoyed at the truths told of him
in the La Crosse Democrat, would silence
its attacks by suit for libel. This is his
foolishness. Failing to frighten the editor
thereof he offers to not prosecute the suit
it the attacks are discontinued. This:is his
laundering idiocy. Failing to terrify, and
not daring to stand trial, he seeks retreat
by piece Of strategic falsehood to him quite
common. Permit me to say to you and the
public that B. F. Butler, Che spoon-thief
gold-robber aud Notwithstanding blum.
derer and coward, did write, or some one
did for him, and that his letter to the New
York Tribune is deliberate lie to cover
the foolish blunder. N. N. PoMERoY.
| P. ST. am on the way to New Orleans,
and the attention Of the Beast is invited to
letters shall write from there, in which he
will be frequently mentioned in connection
with his robberies, villanies, speculations,
and the other attributes which qualify him

as he will some day represent that Congress

No. An interesting and animated law
suit is now going on in one of the New
Orleans courts, between the State, the Lou
isiana State Bank and other parties as in
tervenors. Some FIVE thousand bales of
cotton of Confederate memory is sthe cove
ted prize. A mass of witnesses of all sorts
and kinds have been on the stand, and
wonderful and astounding are the revela.
tions that have come to light. We have
read all that has been published, and have
wisely come to the conclusion that all the
liars and hard swearers are not yet dead.
We would suggest, lift be not too late,
that the U. S. Government intervene and
claim the whole by right of capture. We
do not think it would be hard task to
prove and establish that the most of it be-
longed to the Confederate Government and
was stolen from it. Certainly the largest
portion Of it from here was baled in India
bagging belonging to the Cotton Bureau Of
the Confederacy. We merely make these
remarks as gentle reminder to the guilty
parties that their honesty is still wildly
remembered.
