The Burning of Fort Lafayette-Further
Particular

The Burning of Fort Lsfayette-Further
Particulars.
The New York papers of yesterday con-
tain further particulars of the burning of
Fort Lafayette. The Tribune says:
Everything of an infammable nature in
Fort Lafayette was destroyed on Tuesday
afternoon and night. All danger from the
explosion of the magazine having passed,
the residents below, who fled for safety,
have mostly returned, and again occupy
their homes. Inside the scene is one of
utter devastation. The supports of the
huge guns have been burnt away, and they
now lie useless among the ruins. The
magazine remains uninjured with the ex-
ception of the burning of the outer door.
The explosion of loaded shells caused some
damage to masonry, and cut large holes in
the iron doors. Some unexploded shells
are still among the ruins. When first seen
the fire was less than u foot in diameter
Buckets could not at first be found, and
the vicinity was speedily deserted for fear
of the explosion Of the magazine. The
loaded shells lying in the fort were scarcely
less dangerous.
The loss is estimated at about $3.50, 900.
The Herald furnishes the following remin-
iscences Of this fort
| Here it was that Colonel Burke presided

who lost his leg and was taken at the cap
ture of Mobile, Ala. S. r. Mallory, Sec
rotary of the Confederate Navy, occupied
casemate here until the 10th day of
March, 1866.
Charles James Faulkner, formerly Min
lister of France, and for several successive

brated work. Kennedy, the New York
hotel burner, spent the last hours of his
life here, and here finally paid the penalty
of his crime. His body is inferred in the
reserve ground near Fort Hamilton. Briga
dier General Stone, of the United States
army, was also confined at this fort fol
several months for some reason Or other
which was never divulged by the War De
partment.

The Republican Congressman who have
arrived here manifest decided opinion In
favor of Mr.. Stanton's restoration to the
War Department, partly on account of his
administrative skill in the work of South
ern restoration, and also as compensation
for his services to the party in retaining
his position in opposition to President
johnson. His campaign speeches are also
urged in his favor, and it has transpired
that General Grant has been approached
on the subject by parties of the highest
influence. 1t is said that the General gave
no indication of his intentions. It i:
limited, however, that the relations o
General Grant and Secretary Stanton
when the former was in active service
were not of a character calculated Il
strengthen the pretensions of Stanton
friends. Dispatch to the Philadelphia

ANOTHER HOMICIDE. Rev. Elijah James,
4 coIored preacher of the Baptist persua-
sion, was killed in James City yesterday,
by negro named Mingo Jones, under
circumstances of peculiar atrocious char
acter. The following are the facts as re-
ported to us by member of the Coroner
jury :
NIingo Jones had rented piece of land
on which were some old pine stumps, adap-
ted for kindling purposes. The wife OF
Elijah James, desiring fuel Of that charac-
ter, went into Jones field and began to
cut up one of the old stumps. Jones, see
ing her thus employed, approached the
woman and, after few words, admins
tered a castigation. James, hearing of the
treatment his wife had undergone, and
naturally indignant caught up an axe and
started after the chastiser. On approach
ing him be was ordered to throw down his
axe under penalty of being killed. He i'm
mediately complied, when Jones deliber-
ately raised a gun, which he had In his
hand, and shot James IN the bowels, in
hicting q mortal wound. He shortly ex-
pred.
The Coroner's Jury brought in verdict
III accordance with these facts and Jones
was arrested and incarcerated in Craven
street Jail 1t would have saved much
useless expense if he had been lynched on
the spot.
James is said to have been quiet, we'll

property valued at $500, 900. 900. The same
writer says
"The late baron was deseryediy popu-

him al order which enabled him to make
