A singular case, illustrating the important
c,nseo,icnces which sometimes result from
apparently triflins circumstances, came, to
our knowledge few days since. D"rms
the war Federal soldier in General Hal
leck's army, was badly wounded III one Oh
the numerous encounters, which were Oh
almost daily occurrence, with the Southern
forces, and at the same time taken prisoner.
He was placed in charge Of Il sergeant OF one
of the Louisiana reg ilnents and ordered TO be
carried to the rear. The sergeant. who was
a well known citizen Of this place, and as
tender-hearted a man as can be found. took
pity on the poor fellow and nursed him with
all the care possible under the circumstances
even giving him a part of his clothing when
he was forced to leave him at the hospital
in Richmond The wounded man recovered
from his wound and Outlived his contine-
ment in the different Confederate prisons.
He was the son of Il wealthy merchant OF an
Eastern city, and upon the death Of his
father, last summer, inherited his fortune.
But he had not forgotten the sergeant who
was SO kind to him in his hour Of neod.
A photograph which he found in the pocket
of the coat given him, was kept sacredly,
and few weeks since Washburn received
letter from him asking as favor, that as
he had taken the picture in 1861, he would
assist in the search for the sergeant. 1t was
no difficult matter, and the lucky old
Confed now shows to his most intimate
friends q beautiful letter Of thanks from
the ex-prisoner, which also contained
draft on Boston bank for $4,000 as free
| Gift

to have been selected by burglars to oper-
ate as they pleased, for they tried their
hands at several points. One burglar, fond
Of smoking, called at the cigar store corner
Of Girod and Camp streets, where he helped
himself extensively to the weed, not for
getting the money till. He left before his
lob was finished, and he can recover his fine
.chisel by personally asking Captain Gibney
for it.
The liquor stores Of p. H. Strack, Nos.
Sc and So Fulton street, were entered, but
the rascals made too much noise, which
frightened them of. They were seen by
the police.
A single handed scamp quietly entered
the residence of Mr. William Smith, on
Perrier street, Sixth District, while the
dwelling was deserted by all but a young
lady. She made her voice heard, when the
rascal travelled of.

dollars at point near jackson square. His
