And sounded forth the drum and fife,
He found it, but quick defeat;
He cried, soldiers cover my retreat.
Gould q more fitting place be found
Than eighteen twelve's Old battle ground
For our soldier's.fnal resting place,
Till called hence his God to face?
Here many requiem will be sung,
And many lowery garland hung
Over some widowed mothers son,
Who in his woe could say "Thy will be
DONE" $3.50
His humble grave is cared for here,
By that country he held so dear;-
II any would in war this country throw,
Look on this grave and on that brothers
woe.
On whom shall rest this civil strife?
Who shall answer for all this life?
On whose head is all this crime
These graves in this distant cline?
With these questions, on my word,
My very soul within is stirred.
Name unknown !" 'Tis voice from the
sod,
Calling on an avenging God.

REPORT THEREOF.
Legal Points Presented

We have received from District Attorney
Mckay, who conducted the prosecution be.
fore Judge Toca, in St. Bernard parish, the
following communication:
In relation to the examination the case
OF j, S. Bossier, charged with murder in
killing Paul E. Laresche, Jr., in the late
duel, which examination took place before
Judge Toca, in Che parish of st. Bernard
the facts are as follows:
Neither Messrs. Labatut, Forstall, Marcel,
Smith, nor Drs. Berjol or Rance were exam.
ined by the prosecution, for they were &C.
cessories before the fact. The civil authori-
ties of the parish of Orleans, before whom
the case was first presented, failed to per
form their duty in accordance with law, as
they did not place the principal witnesses
for the prosecution under bonds sufficient
to compel their attendance at Court when
called for. (See page l66, section 20, Re
vised Statutes of Louisiana) Nor was
there any exertion made by the civil au-
thorities of either parish to bring
forward the principal witnesses for
the State. 1t was alleged by the magis-
trate that they were not to be found
Lieutenant Manning and Special Officer
Malone were placed upon the stand as wit
nesses, but upon examination it was found
that they knew nothing of the duel or of the
parties participating in it.
In prosecuting the case, then, the District
Attorney was compelled to adopt one of two
modes of procedure-either to postpone the
examination without any hope of being
ever able to find the witnesses for the
Statel, or else to enter a nolle prosequi,
which was done in behalf of Drs. Berjot and
Rance, it being held that they we're present
in a professional capacity, although not
privileged in the eye of the law. In the
case Of the physicians the nolle prosequi
was entered with the hope of placing them
on the stand as witnesses on behalf of the
State. The counsel for the defense
after consultation, objected TO the nolle
prosequi being entered, upon the grounds
that il would not be bar to future proceed.
ings against Drs. Berjot and Rance; that
they preferred to be tried rather than ap-
pear as witnesses for the prosecution. Fur.
thermore, the counsel for the defense en-
deayored to show that the District Attorney
had not the right to enter nolle prosequi.
The District Attorney argued that he had
the right, and established the fact by law
and precedent. However, the court would
not entertain his melton, but dismissed the
case,

CONFLICT OF AUTHoRITY.-Dryades market
had scene yesterday morning, and for an
hour or so that phlegmatic neighhorhood
looked warlike. Mayor Conway has com.
missary there to collect certain revenues,
while the Finance Committee has lately ap-
pointed like officer. Each official notified
the butchers and hucksters that he was the
only authorized person to receive the dues,
and each notified all concerned that all
money must be paid only to him. Here
existed quandary and conflict.
Before the young war had arrived at a
crisis Mr.. Conway was on the scene of &C.
ton, and spoke a short piece to the throng,
and of course advocated his mans cause.
As the matter nov stands the butchers and
hucksters are hanging between two fires.
The end is not yet. Like the old woman's
good indigo, no one can tell which will sink
or swim. Either Mr.. Conway's sppointee
or the Finance Committees man must go
under,

Tar OF THE BELL.-Mr. Isabelle, of Or
leans, objected yesterday to the incorpora-
ton of Hook and Ladder Company in
Franklin, on the ground that fire companies
were composed of an exclusive class who
were antagonistic to the rights of other.
He said he heard it on the street corners
that the FIRE companies were organizations
that were ready for violence at the tap of
the bell.
Mr.. De Grange, OF Orleans, denied that
they were exclusive, There was no objec-
tions to colored men presenting themselves
for membership; but their applications
might be rejected. He asserted that the
fire companies were social organization,
and denied that the tap of a bell would
summon them to deeds of violence.
