NEw ORLEANS, March 29.-The First
United States Infantry left to-day on the
steamer r. E. Lee for Detroit, having
been stationed here for the past FIVE
years. The press Of the city express
regret at their departure and good wishes
for their future. General Buchanan,
however, will not relinquish com mane of
the department for few days.
Several important decisions we're rem
dered by Judge Durell, in the United
States District Court, this morning.
Three more of the wine cases were de.
cided in favor Of the Government. The
decisions, it is believed, will cover all
the points which can be raised. Points
had been submitted that every revenue
Law referring to seized wine had been
repealed by name, but the Judge re-
viewed each statute quoted, and ruled
that their repeal did no; affect the speci-
feations Of the cost Of packing and
bottling; aud therefore, as the cost Of
packing and bottling had either not been
included in the invoice, or greatly under.
rated, according 10 The evidence in the

:
the Illinois Central railroad, petitionipg
to have the New Orleans and Opelousas
railroad declared bankrupt, the Judge,
in lengthy and elaborate decision held
that railroad bonds and coupons were
not commercial paper within the mean
ing of the bankrupt Law, and that under
the State laws and act of incorporation,
a remedy was provided, to which the
creditors might resort; and that paying
the coupons after the suit was brought
upon the same, was not preferring one
creditor over another, and was therefore
not an act of bankruptcy; aud that the
company was not iusolvent inasmuch as
its assets, by assessment, exceeded Its
liabilities, due or to become due, by more
than half million. The court also sx-
pressed some doubt as to whether rail-
roads came under provisions Of the bank
ruptcy laws.

ST.. LOUIS, March 29.--An Omaha dis
patch says that Henry Hickman, prom.
inent membsr of the First Baptist
church, who was under trial for falsely
aud maliciously slandering the character
of Mrs. Verruatte, the wife of the pastor,
was found guilty.
The Union Pacific Railroad Company
laid six miles of track on Saturday. They
continue pushing the work west of Ogden,
and also soon expect to finish the per-
msnent lines through the tunnel at Echo
canon. fF
The work on the Mississippi river
bridges here is progressing favorably.
The engineers expect soon to commence
work on the center pier.
About eight clock this evening q fire
broke out on the steamer Ben. Johnson,
lying at the foot of Washington avenue,
aud in less than fifteen minutes the
Henry Adkins, lying above, and the Car
rie V. Kountz and Gerard B. Allen, lying
below, were a mass Of flames, and their
entire upper works destroyed. The Fanny
Scott and two other boals lying next to
the Allen we're cut loose and foated
down stream, and although the Carrie
Kountz followed swiftly after them, burn
ing very fercely, yet they escaped un-
harmed. All the boats we're loading for
