MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
NEW ORLEANS.

NEw ORLEAEs. May l9.-Uutil last
night the adjoining city of Jefferson,
though included 10 the Metropolitan
Police District, have refused to accept
the Metropolitan force, Offering armed
resistance 10 every attempt on the part Of
the Metropolitans to exercise their fuuc-
tions, Qitigating the matter in the courts
meanwhile.) Last night the Melropoli-
tsns OF this city mustered to the number
Of three hundred, under a captain de-
tailed to take charge Of Jefferson pre-
cinct, made movement about ten o. lot K
on the municipal buildings in Jefferson,
which was fled with armed citizens. A
smell battle ensued. Twelve or fourteen
Meiropolitans were wounded, two thought
dangerously. The police retreated.
Governor Yarmouth called upon Cen
eral Mower, commanding the Depart
msnt OF Louisiana, for troops, one COM
many Of which were furnished this mora
ing. They marched quietly to the
municipal buildings, meeting with no OF
position, and installed the Meiropolitans
Ia possession. The citizens Of Jefferson
were considerably excited. The soldiers
are still on the ground. No demonstra-
lions were made against the troops,
although the police force, four times as
large as the body Of soldiers, were driven
Of None Of the citizens, it Is believed,
are hurt, they being protected BY the
market house and public buildings.
The municipal election is in progress
here very quietly to-day. :.
The action Of the Jefferson authorities
in resisting the Metropolitan Police is
entirely wrong in view Of the fact that
the Supreme Court had already decided
that the Metropolitan Police are legal
Il is stated, however, that the Metropoli-
taus commenced firing on the Jefferson
ians, last night, without stating their
business or who they we're. Il appears
from all accounts that the number OF
JsiFersonians engaged in the melee, last
night, was only eight or ten. A large
number Of citizeDs, however, we're as
san,bled this morning, but on learning Of
ibe approach Of the military hey dis

Mrs. Lincoln in Germany.
A London correspondent of the Bos.
ton Journal writes:

A London correspondent of the Bos-
ton Journal writes:
As Mrs. Lircoln's petition for pen
sion is now before the United States
Senate, perhaps your readers would like
to know something of her whereabouts.
She is at Frankfort with her son, who is
at school. She lives at one Of the public
hotels, in very plain and unpretending
style, occupying room in the third sto-
ry, keeping very much to herself, and
having the reputation of being very in
dustrious. She is quite economical, and
If appearances do not mislead, she has
no more funds than are necessary to
make her comfortable. To Americans
she speaks very freely of the good Pres
ident her husband, and always with
tears. Two periods Of the Presidential
career Of Mr.. Lincoln she alludes to with
great feeling. The one covers the last
day he spent in Springfield before he
first started to Washington. The other
is connected with the last day of Mr..
Lincoln's life. He had presentiment
when he left his house at Springfield,
that he should never enter it again. He
was tender but very sad in all his fare
wells to his neighbors. When he got in
his carriage to go to the station he gave
the old homestead, where he had passed
so many happy hours Of his life, long.
fond, lingering look. Turning TO his
wife he said: My dear, take a good look
at the old house, we shall never live in
it again-never' He leaned back in his
carriage and was silent till he reached
the station. The day on which Mr.. Lin
coin was shot he seemed very sad and
worn down. Before he left the breakfast
table Mrs. L. said to him: you need rest;
you are exhausted. Promise me that
you will ride with me this afternoon at
three clock, and he promised. Mrs
Lincoln said: shall invite some friends
to 90 with us?' He said No, let us go
alone. He was uncommonly tender
during the whole ride; spoke of their
pleasant home in Springfield; their early
struggles; the death of their children;
the noble men who had died in battle;
and the dear friends they had lett behind
He seemed like one on the western
slope and nearing the going down of
the sun, whose joys and the friends of
his youth were clustering around him.
The rest of the story the world knows
by heart. Wh,tevcr may have been
thought Of Mrs. Lincoln during the heat
and conflict of the rebellion, she has won
on this side of the water only friends
by her ladyiike and retired conduct.
The best friends of America here think
she has been treated rather harshly.

A Roman Catholic View of Methodism

The Tablet, Roman Catholic journ-
al, and, speaking for the Catholics in
this country, thus admonishes the Meth
odists: "The real enemies to US among
the Protestant sects in this country, are
the Methodists, admirably organized for
aggression, and who, in their appeals to
the animal nature and sensible devotion,
acquire no little power over the sensi
tive, the ignorant and the superstitious
They, however, are laying the fouEda-
ton of their own ruin. They are be-
coming wealthy, are building fine and
costly churches, founding colleges ana
theological seminaries, and they are Ia
king their place among the respectable
secis Of the country. A strong party
among them, almost majority, are
strug Cling to introduce lay representa-,
ton in their conferences, and they are
not unlikely to succeed. These things
will gradually work their ruin. The
are ruined the moment they lose sight
of the poor, the ignorant, and the neg
lected, and pride themselves on having

cations. The poor are worth more than
the rich"

Appropos of the merriment INDUCED in by the DEM
ocratc press, the circumstance that President
Grant has appointed few personal friends to office
having no claims Of polite, /, character, the New
York Herald relates the following anecdote of General
Jackson which shows that the great examplar of the
Democratic party was addicted to the same amiable
fault, if fault ii be.
'Old men will rememember the persistency with
which General jackson nominated a certain Gwin
for a good office. The Senate regularly refused to
confirm Gwin, and Jackson always sent his name in
again. Finally Jackson had his way and Gwin had
his place. Some asked the General the meaning
of his persistency, and he said:
when my mother and her little ones, of whom l
struggling in the wilderness, she found
good friend in old Baptist minister named Gwin
This man is that old Gwin's son, and by the Eternal
the Adm nistration shall go down rather than that
man shall suffer- He who has not this virtue of
sticking to his friends generally has other and he
who has it: and with it Grants discretion will never
let it carry him into abuses

The Battle of Bunker Hill.

Lieutenant John Clarke, OF the British
marines. in thirty six page pamphlet,
printed III London IN i775, in less than
a dozen lines describes the battle OF
Bunker Hill:
we then began to proceed to action,
by marching with q quick step up the
precipice that led TO the intrenched pro.
vincia! army, until within five hundred
yards of them; very brisk fire com
menccd on their side, and was returned
on ours: still marching up to their in
trenchments as fast as possible, from
whence We dislodgei them by o'clock,
the battle being fought and gain ed with
in cne hour.
After giving list of the British killed
and wounded, Lieutenant Clarke relates
sundry incidents of the battle, among
which the following possesses much in
terest, and. if the statement be correct,
may be said to decide tue mooted ques
ton of who commanded at Bunker
Hill?'
"A report having prevailed that Doc
tor Warren was not killed, think it
necessary to contradict it, rs 1 saw SOL

lying in the trenches, going to run him
through the body with his bayonet; on
which the Doctor desired he would not
Kill him, for he was much wounded and
could not i've a great while longer; on
which the soldier swore that he would,
for that he had done more mischief than
any one else, and Immediately run him
through the body.
The Doctors dress was light color

laced with silver, and white breeches
with silver loops, which saw the sol.

He was supposed to be the comman

Bes: Pork and Beans.

Pick over quart of small white beans,
put them to soak over night. Set them
to boil next morning, throwing off the
water just before they reach the boiling
point. Cover with cold water again,
put in square pound of nice, sweet,
salt pork, and let them boil together un-
til the beans are tender When the
beans are done, the water should have
all become absorbed; they are then put
in one pan to brown, and the pork in an
other, scoring the latter first, through
the skin. Before serving, set the pork
in the center of the beans. Serve with
pickles and horse radish.-[Demorest's

her to a stand, and directed her steps
otherwise, they would no doubt have
been taken.
Mr.. Garrett had been accustomed to
furnish her and her companions with
new shoes, and on one occasion when he
had not seen her for three months, she
came one day in his store at Whining
ton, and he said, Harriet, I am glad to
see thee; suppose thee wants pair of
shoes Her reply was, 4 want more
than that Mr.. Garrett said to her in
jest, i have always been liberal with
thee, and wish to be; but am not rich,
and cannot afford to give much Her
reply was, God tells me you have mon
ey for me- He asked her If God never
deceived her?' She said, No Now.
how much does thee want?' asked Mr.. G.
After studying a moment, she said,
About twenty three dollars He then
gave her twenty. four dollars and some
odd cents, the proceeds of five pounds
sterling eceived through Eliza Wigham,
of Scotland, for her. Mr.. Garrett had
given some account OF Harriet's labor
to the Anti Slavery society of Edin-
burgh, Of which Eliza Wigham was Sec
retary, and gentleman hearing the let
ter read, was interested in her, and this
was how the money came.
About twelve months afterward, she
called on Mr. Garrett again, and stated
that God had told her that he had somo
money for her, but not as much as be-
fore. He had few days previous re-
ceivcd from Europe the net proceeds Of
one pound ten shillings for Harriet.
The whole story is full OF such Incl
dents, showing Gods overruling and
guiding hand, and one cannot help feel
ing convinced of the fact that she was
indeed Moses chosen FIR specific
work, and invulnerable till that work
was ended Her services as nurse and
scout were exceedingly valuable during
the rebellion, and it is passing strange
that no pension has been allowed her
from Government as some remunera-
ton, but she is still compelled to labor
increasingly for the support of her par
ents, and to pay a balance Jet due for
their home.
In addition to this, she supports by
her own labors two schools for freedmen
at the South, supplying them with books
and clothing.
It is to aid her in her noble work that
this thrilling narrative has been written,
